Demurrer Filed
In Hale Case

A demurrer was filed at the
county clerk office this morning
in the case of +. +. Hale against
the American Conservation Club, ct
al. The demurrer was filed at the
instance of defendants r. y. Wat
son, Mark Rose, Sam Robinson,
Ralph Reynolds, c. G. Mousseau
and Ira Aten. 1t holds that the
complaint fails to state facts suffi
cient to establish a cause Of action
and further that there is an i'm
proper joiner of defendant parties.
d. B. Roberts is appearing as attor-
nev for the defendants named. The
ease grows out of the alleged fail
ure of the Conservation Club to pay
the plaintiff money alleged to be
due for several trips taken by him
at the request of the defendants.

ASKS CLEARER LAW
ON CONDEMNATION
Surveyor Hazen AssaiIs Dis
missaI of Cases on Tech
nicaIities.

Enactment Of legislation to prevent
the dismissal OF condemnation. cases
by the courts on mere technicalities
is advocated by Melvin c.. Hazen. Dis.
trict surveyor, in his annual report to
the District Commissioners. made pub
lie today.
"Some difficulty seems to have been
experienced during the past year in
prosecuting some of the condemnation
cases to satisfactory conclusion, due
to the dismissal by the court on some
mere technicality which it seems
might be corrected by legislation" de-
clared Mr.. Hazen. 1T seems to be
getting more and more difficult sue
cessfully to prosecute a condemnation
case so that it may reach the final
stages in the proceeding where it may
be finally ratified and confirmed on
account of some unimportant ques.
ton raised by objecting property
owners of which the court. according
to existing law, must take cognizance.
Expenses Pointed Out.
This not only makes these cases
doubly expensive on account of the
necessity of refiling the cases in court,
but it causes great inconvenience to
the property owners and the general
public and retards needed improve.
ment and creates waste of funds. 1t
is believed a study of this question
should be made with a view of deter.
mining whether some remedial legis,
lation cannot be suggested which will
enable the District successfully to
prosecute these condemnation cases
without danger of defeat in the courts
on account of unimportant and tech
nfcal questions being raised by some
objecting party"
The most recent condemnation case
dismissed on account of a technicality
threatened to delay number of
street opening and street widing prof.
ects involving more than $1,000, 900
worth of property. The corporation
cOunsel's Office has sought to have
this case reopened on the ground
that the court did not have complete
information before it when the dis
missal was ordered.
The surveyors report showed that
of the 68 condemnation cases pending
in court last year. IL were dismissed,
one more than the number confirmed
The remaining 35 cases are still
pending.
Damages Reach $142,739.
The damages awarded by juries in
the cases confirmed amounted to
$142, 1887. Out of this amount $120,-
326.60 represented the amount of
damages for the miscellaneous cases
and $22 ,41337 the amount of damages
in the alley cases.
In addition to these cases, Mr..
Hazen said number of others were
ordered by the Commissioners. but
were not filed prior to the close of the
last fiscal year. However, he said,
all of these cases have been prepared
by his office, the work completed, the
maps drawn, and it only remains for
the cases to be filed in court.
Mr. HaZen also recommended in
creased appropriations for the
acquisition of small park areas at the
intersections of streets which are
constantly in likelihood of being inn
proved.

Round-the-World Pilots Make Quick Hop
From Belgrade-Have Now Com
pleted Sixth of Journey

I hour of 4:30 and there was no otil
| cial farewell, but their plane, the
| Pride of Detroit, was accompanied
| for some distance by an escort OF
three Jugoslav military machines.
Prevented from continuing on to
the former Turkish capital yester-
day afternoon by the receipt of ad-
verse weather reports after their ar
rival here from Munich, Germany,
the Americans made all their prepa-
rations for an early hop off. before
retiring last night.
They found maps for the next
few stages of their flight all ready
for them, provided by Capt. Sonde-
mayer Jugoslav ace, who also gave
them a number of valuable persona
pointers, he having traversed part of
their route earlier in the year.
Brock and Schlee show little signs
of the ordeal they have been through
thus far. Their plane also appeared
in first class condition as it roared
away this morning, and the aviators
expressed the hope OF making the en-
tire world trip without replacing the
engine at TOXIC.
After covering the 500 miles to
Constantinople their route will take
them to Aleppo. Syria; Bagdad, Irall.
and thence to Bender Abbas, Persia,
on the way to India.

TO DEATH OFF SHIP
Sister Sees Oscar Petty, 80, of Lex.

NEW YORK, August 31.-Oscar
Petty, 80 years old, who was return
ing to America from Paris with his
sister, Mrs, S. A. Boles of Lexington,
KY, committed suicide by jumping
from the deck of the French liner
Paris, officials of the line announced
today.
Petty had been studying at the Sor-
bonne in Paris for the past two years
and was returning to America to join
the faculty of Columbia University.
1t was on Friday, the second day
out from Havre, that Petty was walk
ing with his sister on the sun deck of
the second.class accommodations. He
leaned over the rail to watch the wash
created by the propellers and sud-
denly threw off his ulster and leaped
overheard.
The liner came to a stop and for an
hour circled over the spot where he
was supposed to have gone down, but
to no avail. Ships officers believed
that he must have been drawn into
the propellers. The 60-foot leap alone
would have stunned him, they said.
Mrs. Boles said her brother had
been highly nervous aboard the ves-
sci and she was considering having
him placed in the apip's hospital.

BELFAST, Ireland. August 81
The transatlantic plane of Capt. Les
lie Hamilton and Col F. +. Minchin is
reported from Galway to have passeu
over Inveran. near the coast of Gal
wav Bay, at 1910 pm, proceeding
due west.
Later the commander of the Civic
Guard at Thurles, Tipperary, report
ed that the plane passed over that
town at 10:40 am, flying low and ap'
parently headed northwest toward
Galway.
The weather was clear, fine and
sunny.
Plane Reaches Eastern Coast.
The plane, after passing over the
Irish Sea, reached the Eastern irish
Coast at about 10 am. and passed over
Barty Castle, South Wexford, at ABOUT
1908. 1t was then flying IT a helght
of about 500 feet and going rather
slowly.
Some distance farther on it encoun-
tered a bank of fog and circled three
or four times, afterward proceeding IN
a northwest by west direction.
The police chief at Thurles, Upper.
ary, says that when the plane passed
over that place the weather was very
hazy and Capt Hamilton was main,
tanning an altitude of only 500 or 1,O0o
feet. The chief added that the plane
appeared to be going very slowly.
The above dispatch indicates that
the flyers at the time given were ABOUT
to leave land behind them and begin
the actual overseas part of their jour-
ney.

The elapsed time from their mop
