HOW IT WOULD CREATE NECESSITY FOR EXTRA CLERKS AT THE POLICE COURT. ‘The bill introduced in the Senate a few days ago by Senator Ingalls making new police regu- lations in the District of Columbia has been the subject of considerable discussion among police officluls, One section provides: “That whenever any person shall be convicted before the. Police Court of vagraney or of other violation ot any municipal law of this District, such person shail be required to enter Into a re- cognizance before the judge of the Police Court, with two or more sureties to be approved b said judge, in such penalty as said judge shall deem suiticient, tor his or her behavior, and also against a repetition of the offense of which the person 6o charged stands convicted.” Under this section officials aay if a citizen is convicted of violating any of the municipal Jaws, such as fulliizg to remove snow from the sidewalk, wasting Potomac water or protanity, he will be required to give security with two or more sureties both for his good havior and also against a repetition of the offense. The convictions such as referred to amount toabout 6,000 annually, aud the sureties would there- fore number not less than 12,008, The lg) ack Ment of additional clerks {n the Police Court and assessor's office would necessarily follow. Another section gives the Commissioners Power to appoint and remove at their discre- tion persons as policemen and watehmen other than those who have served in the army or navy of the United States. Heretofore police officers have held office during good behavior, seahala abana Arrested in New York.

A delegation of commercial men from New York and eastern points appeared before the Senate committee on commerce to-day in be- halt of the bill to relieve commercial travelers from license taxes, This bill, which was introduced in both houses, provides that any person, acting in an individual capacity or as an officer of a state or municipal corporation, interfering in any way with any commercial traveler selling by san Pe rs wares and merchandise of any kind, raveling from another state other than the one in which the traveler lives or In which the man- Ufacturer or merchant does business for which such traveler is acting, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and be liable to indictment before the United states grand Jury in the dis- trict in which the interference oF assault occurs, and if convicted a fine of not exceeding $1000r three months’ imprisonment, or both, shall be imposed. ‘The second section repeals all license taxes upon commercial travelers in the District of Columbia, and provides that the money col lected therefrom during the current year shall be retunded to the parties who have paid the same, in accordance with regulations to be pre- scribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
