Where, How and by Whom They May be Killed, ATTORNEY RIDDDE HAS THE CASE OF LIEUT. SLACE'S HORSE REFERRED TO HIM, AND GIVES AN BX- ‘HAUSTIVE REVIEW OF THE LAWS BRARING ON THE case. Several branches of the District ‘and the Humane Society are now mixed up in the controversy over the glanders, started by Agent Key, of the Humane Society. Agent Key began several weeks ago a campaign against the gland- ers, which he claimed existed among District horses to a dangerous extent. Finally he struck a horse belonging to Lieut, Slack,which he claimed had farcy, and ought to be killed, Lieut. Slack appealed to Col. Ludlow, and the engineer department of the District took an interest in the ease. Through Col, Ludlow Major Moore, of the police department, and Mr. Riddle, the attorney for the District have been brought ‘into the con- troversy. As stated in Tue Sar yesterday, the health department has also come into the feld. This department wrote a letter to Mr. Key, pub- Ushed in Taz Star yesterday, on account of’ com- Plaints made by business men occupying premtses adjacent to an alley near the Baltimore and Potomac depot, where Mr. Key shot a horse re- ‘as ‘glandered. ‘All the energies of he District government seem to be directed toward restraining Mr. Key from killing horses reported ‘as diseased, Tue health office has threatened to proceed against him unless he discontinues the practice of killing horses in the public alleys. Some time ago, when inquiry was made of Mr. Key by the police de- partment by what law he Killed horses, Mr. Key Feplled that he killed them with a pistol and not with law, In the case of Lteut. Slack’s horse, the uestion ‘was referred to Dr. D. E. Salmon, of the ureau of Animal Industry, and he sent two ex- perts to examine the horse, who reported that they found no symptoms Indicating farcy, but advised that the animal be carefully watched tosee wheth- er symptoms were developed. Mr. Key yester- day had an interview with the District Commis- stoners, and arranged for a hearing before them. He says he wants to have it settled by whom, Where, how and when, glandered horses are to be killed. Mr. Key represents that the situa- tion is grave, and that the people ought to be aroused to & knowledge of the fact that an ep- ‘demic of glanders is threatened, He said to Stak reporter to-day that he has not Killed any horse without first having the opinion of a.com- Petent veterinarian, and then the consent of the owner, and the insurance company if the horse Wasinsured, OMictals at the health office, on the other hand, claim that Mr. Key decides too quickly that a horse has gianders, and makes people be- Heve it. | The health office objects to Mr. Key going about with bis pistol and shooting horses in pub- Me places, Horses killed by direction of the health office are taken to Draney's whart to be shot, aud from there their bodies are taken from the District. Some weeks ago, as stated above, Commis sioner Ludlow received a uote from Lieut. Wm. H. Slack, of the Army, complaining that Mr. “Key, the’ agent of tie Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Antmals, sought to kill a valuable animal belonging ‘to him, on the groutid that it was aMicted with farcy, oF glarders. Lieut. Slack desired the intervention of the Commissioners, and stated that the horse was not aMiicted with the disease, ag stated. At the same Ume the health office sent in a report on the matter, with the request that the chief of the Bureav of Animal Industry, in the Departinent of Agriculturg, be asked Co examine and report upon the cases. Lt SLACK'S HORSE NOT AFFLICTED WITH PARCY OR GLANDERS. ‘The Commissioners wrote Dr. Salmon, chief of the Bureau, as destred, and two inspectors were detailed, independently, to examine the animal, and both reported that they found no symptoms indicating that it was a case of farcy; that the trouble was the result of injury, and the antinal ‘will recover. W.C. Kempton, a veterinary sur- geon, was also called upon, and he reported that the florse was “on the high way to recovery.” AGENT KEY'S LETTER TO THE CHIEF OF POLICE. Mr. Key meanwhile wrote to Col. Moore, major of police, in defense of his action, Col. Moore had, however, been instructed to prevent Key from ac- complishing his purpose of killing the animal. Mr. Key, In bis letter, sald that veterinarians throughout the world, hot only Kill the animals affected with Uhisdisease, but quarantine others thathavecomein contact with the sick one, and burn the shed or barn contalnining the diseased animal, He stated that when he finds a horse sick with elther farcy or glanders he at_once takes At “to a competent veterinary surgeon who orders it destroyed, and he shoots it in order to protect the lives of other horses and of their mas- ters ag Well, It being contagious to both man and beast.” Mr. Key also states in his letter, which ts mber 15, that he has just met Mr. G, A, Blaudon, a contractor, whose stavles are in West Wasuington, apd he informed him (Key) that he had lost seven ‘horses In the last three weeks from farcy. His horses were insured in the Penn- Manager, Sr Ca and ME Rey linge fe formed him that he bad order-d Biundon’s horse to be killed and the shed worn down and burned, Mr. Key concluded iis letter by askivg that “in View of the fact that we are on the venge of an epidemic of farey or glanders,” jrhy should not Lieut, slack’s horse be examined by the District's and the Humane Society's veterinary surgeon, “and if adju ized to be ill from elther of the above diseases kill 102" ‘ ‘The Commisstoners, however, were satisfied from the report of the inspectors that Lieut. Slack’s horse did not have the glanders or tarey. “On Oc- tober 7 Col. Ludiow wrote Mr. A. G. Riddle, attor- ney for the District, of the above-mentioned tact, and requested him to examine such laws as may relate to this matter, If any, and yee Whether the agent of the Humane Society, or the 8. P. C. A., or any other individual, ts empowered to Kill a horse afilicted with farcy or glanders at discretion with- Out the assent of the owner or any skilled exaini- Ration and Minding, He also asked; “can he (tne agent of the tlumane Soclety) destroy any antinal by him deemea affected with an incurable conta- gious disease under tuese conditions?” OPINION OF ATTORNEY RIDDLE. Mr. Riddle replies under date of October 11 After stating the questioa, he goes on to say: “I do not suppose that his (Agent Key's) official character hay much to do with the question. A reference to the laws of congress, of the later Dis- trict legislature, the ordinances of the corporation of Washington ‘and of the late Board of Healih 1s necessary to an answer. The society organized Under its cuarter ot June 21, 1870 (16 Stats, 158). ‘The principal power in the Way of prosecution {3 in section 5, by which any member wuo sees violation of any law or ordinance may apply to & police oMcer and have the offender arrested, Without warrant. The 4th section authorizes by- laws which, among members of the assoctation, have the force of an act of Congress. These by: laws in no way extend to outside parties or their roperty.

The law requires ‘inspestion nd examination by experts, of course, whose findings are judicial in their nature, and must pre €de excution of their sentence in’ given case. ‘The language of this provision seems broad enough to authorize regulations by the Commis- sioners that may includ any and all animals in- flected with communicable diseases, ‘THE DOG LAW. ‘The board of health, by section twenty-five of its ordnance, afirmed by Congress, compelled the owners of dogs to muzzle them during {Hines and also to iM thetr dogs gone mad or showing symptoms of rabies, or which have been Ditwen by a hydrophobic dog.

THAT IT 18 NOW ‘100 LATE—THE ARGUMENT IN THE CASE, ETC. ‘The cases of Wood and others against the Dis- trict of Columbia, known as the tax-len certiorari cases, which has been taken up for argument in the Court in General Term, Messrs, Birney & Bir- ney appearing for the petitioners and Messrs. Rid- die and Davis for respondent, are regarded as of much importance to the property-holders. There are many, against whose property tax liens have been issued under similar circumstances, who are anxiously awaiting the termination of these cases, ‘The dates of assessment involved in the 45 cases now before the court range from 1869 to 1880, and were for various street improvements, Somé made under the old corporation, some by the Board of Public Works, and some by the Com- missioners. The objects of the sults are to have the tax-lten certificates issued against the pro erty, with the papers tn each case, brought into court, with a view to having them’ declared null ‘and Void and the property freed from the encum- brance. ‘The District moved to quash the writ of certiorari on several grounds, THE DISTRICT'S SIDE OF THE QUESTION. After a review of legislative and Congressional enactments touching the matter Mr. H. E. Davis, as attorney for the District, sums up the salient Points as follows: 1. In all the cases the several assessments have long been perfected, and the evidence thereof has Passed elther into the hands of private citizens or ‘the Treasurer of the United States, and so beyond control oF influence in any way by the District of Columbia. Moreover, the several certificates have, in every case In which they have so gone into thé hands of the Treasurer of the United States, en- tered into the accounts of the funded and bonded indebtedness of the District, both to private indl- viduals and the United States. 2. The laches of the petitioners 18 50 as to make their appearance in this court hardihood itself. ‘The rule in equity 1s well known, and its application to @ case at law will be even more in the freshest of the cases the action com plained of 1sof over fen years’ standing, and in some Of them It is seventeen years’. In the ten years ext preceding the filing of the petitions all of the principal legislation touching the assessments, | after their making, nas been had. Both the Dis- trict of Columbia’ and the United States have treated the assessments as conclusively adjusted, and the indebtedness represented by them has been woven into a web of interrelation between the District on the one part, and the United States and the private citizen on the otner. 3, ‘That the several special assessments com- plained of have been ratified and confirmed seems too plain for argument. For years both Congress and the District have dealt, with them on this hy- pothesis, which hag its firm foundation in the Rational legislation and the Supreme Court of the United States. 4. By the provisions of the act of June 19, 1 the persons lable to the assessinents complain of were provided a’ tribunal for the revision and correction of the assessinents, 1f e and having failed to avail themselves of the right thereby accorded they cannot now be wo complata of them. 5, All the records sought to be brought up by tue writs ure open to the inspection of the puDne free of charge, whereby {t 1s in the power of the petitioners to ascertain and duly compiain of any errors thoug:it to exist therein. ‘The door of the equity court is thus open to them for such relief as they tay properly Beentttied to, 6.

Especially ts. this true of the water- main tax case (Bensinger and Bieber, No. 175), 1n Which the petitioners, who acquired tne property subsequently to the levy of the tax, now twelve years old, content themselves with most generally asserting’ that none of the irements of law Were observed.
