Police Board Trial Drift Appeals Over Engineer Death
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will appeal a police trial board ruling that cleared Capt. W H Mathews and Lieut J B Mulhall of charges after the death of engineer Hugh Murphy in an overturned engine at Stith Street and Maryland Avenue on September 11. The appellate argument hinges on a 1906 act granting District commissioners power to discipline police, with dissent from James F. Smith, who criticized exoneration.

Anderton urges trees for Pennsylvania Avenue sidewalks
Thomas C. Anderton of 1734 P Street NW writes to District Commissioners arguing against merchants objections to shade trees on the avenue. He supports Engineer Commissioner Morrow’s plan to plant large trees on both sides west of Seventh Street and says trees here benefit F Street as well. He notes trees would not conceal winter displays and suggests a minimum five foot planting strip with water supplied from street plugs to sustain the trees.
