WARNS OF WHARF Probing Child’s Drowning,f Body Urges That Children | Be Barred From Sand Pier. ‘The coroner’s jury investigating the death of 7-year-old Albert Edward Best | of 929 G street southwest, who was drowned Sunday morning when he fell | through a hole in the District sand | wharf at the foot of Ninth street, to- day recommended that precautions be taken to exclude children from the | wharf in the future. | Witnesses told the jury that the wharf had been in bad condition for| more than a year. William F. Butler, | storekeeper at the wharf, testified he | had reported the need for repairs about | a year ago, and that subsequent repair | work on the wharf had not been com- plete, with several holes left in the planking. | Both Mr. Butler, however, and W. F. | Lair, an engineer who operates a power | crane at the wharf, said they had fre- | -quently ordered children from the wharf | and that the property was known in | the community to be restricted for use | | as an unloading wharf for barges bring- | ing sand for the District government. Several playmates of the drowned boy told the jury they had been warned away from the wharf by watchmen and | | police, as well as by their parents. The coroner's jury recommended that the wharf be put in good repair as soon as | possible and that a gate be set up in the | fence now surrounding the property to exclude children from the premises. Lieut. Edward T. Harnay of the har- bor precinct. iestified that the wharf could not be repaired without a specific appropriation, since it was his under- | standing, he said, that the District gov- ernment had no money available for | this purpose.

Inasmuch as almost all the large have village, although some- | times merely groups of peons’ hom within their confines, they would be almost sure to be affected in any exten- | sion of the laws.
