 6. The court erred in rernanding the case to the compensation con1- missioner, February 26, 1887, because the commissioned correctly held that one claiming to come within an exception under the compensation act has the burden of afirmatively establishing his position where a prima facie case has been made by the other party.
 2. The court erred in considering the "appeal' of the respondent from the compensation commission er's original finding and award be- cause the respondent did not use due diligence in prosecuting said appeal and in failing to comply with section 259 of the rules of court.
 8. The court erred in considering the appeal" of the respondent from the supplemental finding and award dated December l, 1886 because no notice of appeal was filed by the respondent, nor was any appeal talk en within the time limited for such appeal.

Compensation Case
 In Highest Court
Atty. M " BEanseId AIegesEigh Errors By Superior
 Court in Appeal to Supreme Court


 Setting out.eigl1t specific instances m which the superior court alleg- sdly erred, Attorney Michael ". Blansfleld as counsel for George A. France, whose compensation claim against William D. Munson of Mid- dlebury has been the object of much court action since July g, 1886, today appealed the case to the supreme court of errors of the state of Con- necticut.
 France, who was an employe of Munson, injured finger during his work, October 5, 1885, with the re- suit that it caused. the loss of the use of his arm. Compensation Com missioner James M. Lynct's finding and award of July g, 1886, ordered Munson to pay France compensation of $9.36 beginning October g, 1885, for not more than 52O weeks. Mum son, who is in the real estate buSt- ness, claims he was not under the compensation act, and filed an ap- peal from the award to the superior court. Attorney John H. Cassidy represents Munson.
 Only recently Judge Frank P. Mo- Evoy issued an order and supple mental to Commissioner Lynch, which held that he must set out certain facts in regard to the num- Der of persons employed by Munson at the time, and other information relative to the case. It also sug- gested new hearing in the case by Commissioner Lynch. Before Com missioner Lynch can execute any of these orders, the supreme court must decide the merits of the case on the appeal entered today, however.
 The reasons of appeal as set out today are:
 1. The court erred in denying claimants motion to erase from the docket filed October B, 1886; decid- ed October 20, 1886.
 3, The court erred in denying claimants motion for judgment.
 3! The court erred in denying claimants motion to erase.
 4. The court erred in ordering to be stricken from the record the judgment filed, dated November IT, l936, and recorded in the superior court records, said order directing the clerk to substitute the word "order" for the word Judgment" without notice and hearing as the court had no power to thus change the judgment entered in said case and the judgment filed signed by Judge John A. .Cornell and recorded by his direction, as the appeal in said action was sustained and the case remanded tc MT. Lynch for action.

fiscal relations between the two governments.
Hazen recently announced he will recommend
that the Federal Government purchase the
south half Of the municipal center area and
the present Municipal Building, at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue so that the
District OF Columbia can go ahead with its
present building program in q scale commen-
surate with its need and financial ability.
Already the District Is erecting one Of its
new municipal buildings. This is a structure
for the Police Court. now being constructed in
Judiciary Square on Fifth street by the Con-
solidated Engineering Co., from plans by the
municipal architect at q contract price Of about
$1.5O0000. It Is to be completed in November,
1897.
Plans have been finished for companion
building for the Municipal Court, which would
be built on the east side Of the square facing
Fourth street. Funds for this, however, are
not yet available. The municipality Is also
carrying forward q school building program
throughout the city, but this has not been ap-
parent in the downtown area.
In a somewhat inconspicuous place, at First
street and Indiana avenue. the Home Owners
Loan Corp. Is erecting O new building from
its own funds under supervision of the Public
Buildings Branch, Procurement Division, Treas
ury Department, and with James Stewart &
Co. contractor. This building costs about
81 446, 700 and Is about half way completed
More prominent, probably, than any other
new building erected in the past 10 years will
be the new Apex Building, at the tip Of the

struction Of which Is expected to begin before
long. Low bidder on this job was McCloskey g.

spicuous jobs in the downtown area-because
1t Is on the inside court of the big Archives

and Is about 96 per cent complete.

westward from Capitol Hill, is the place now
occupied by the old Post ONCE Department
Building, between Eleventh and Twelfth street,
no longer occupied by the Post Office Depart
ment itself. This old structure with a tall tower,
which can be seen for miles around, rests on
wooden piles which engineers say are rotting
because the water level has receded, exposing
the tops Of the wood piling to air, and hence
to decay. This, however, does not endanger the
building. But this structure is supposed to give
way some day for another to harmonic with
the rest of the Federal Triangle. On the site
where the old Post Office Department Building
now stands 1t is intended to erect a building
which will fill out the fourth quadrant Of the big
circle Of 1874 feet in diameter in the heart Of the
triangle.
The second "hole" in the triangle is between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth street, along Penn
sylvania avenue and e street. where an old
