~ THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., TUESDAY. * CRIME IN THE DISTRICr. Some Interesting Figures From Major Moore’s Report. Maj. Moore, in his annual report, as stated in Tux Star yesterday, made some interesting comments on the statistics of crime in the Dis- trict. He said: While the police statistics for the last year show an increase in the number of cases of arrest, it must mot be con- cluded that crime is on the increase in the District of Columbia. ‘The swell- ing of the figures is due to the steady additions to the numerical strength of the force, and closer vigilance and renewed activity, which resulted in a larger number of arrests for minor offenses and misdemeanors. There were many more vagrants, disorderly poreons and violators of the District ordinances brought to the Po- lice Court, and a few more intoxicated indi- viduals cared for at the several stations. Strange as it may appear, to get drunk is not an offense in the District of Columbia, and there were 3.515 cases wherein the individu: seemed aware of the fact. In otner words, in 515 instances intoxicated persons were taken up by the police and released from custody when sober,and in this way saved irom exposure to the weather, perhaps from robbery. Thia condition of the law with respect to a good many who fall into the clutches of the police oper- ates as a premium for drunkenness. But when the individual indulges in disorderly conduct, as wellas bad whisky, the law comes to the rescue of the community, and a fine or work house sentence is imposed. In 1,250 such cases parties made themselves amenable to puni ment during the year. For the same time the cases wherein “vagrancy” covered the viola- tion aggregated 1,949, an excess of nearly 400 over the corresponding period for 1889. There were 2,661 charges docketed at the several lice stations for non-compliance with the polico regulations (dog law and the many District ordinances), and 864 cases w! i was the entry. The minor matters just re- ferred to constituted 8,290 cases, or over one- third of the whole number for the year (24,372). THE QUESTION OF BURGLARY. There is no statute law defining burglary ap- plicable to this jurisdiction, but the act which The dard Cocoa of the World A Substitute for Tea and Coffee. MADE BY SPECIAL PROCESS-THE BEST.

The meanest of all erimes—petty pilferings and thefts—constitute the most frequent annoyance to the citizen, housewife, hotel keeper and stranger here. Dishonest servants are in 9 great measure re- sponsible. The sneak, of whom there are so many, belongs to that class of loafers who rap” and hang about low-down grog- | geries and resorts during the day and steal > under cover of darkness. The professional = f thieves who have visited the capital within the past twelve months, though few, have gener- ally been recognized, arrested or placed under surveillance, the long sought-after shop- lifters, Kate Friday and Miss Lewes, now im- risoned at Albany, being the moat notable. Tn 1800 there were S64 casos of housebreaking in the night time reported to the police, while for the same period in 1889 there were 300: there were cases of housebreaking in the daytime against 57 in the year before. The cases of alleged grand larceny referred to the department numbered 176, against 150 for the prior year; 1,599 of petit larceny against 1,514 im 1889; 98 cases of larceny from the person to 109 the year before; tive of larceny from the government, while in 1889 there were six; eight of highway robbery im 189, 13 in 1889; the cuses of embezzlement were 37, a8 against 36 © preceding year; 51 where ‘ e was the charge; in 1839, 4: PROF.

The estimated value of losses during the year was $54,939, which were roported lost or misiaid; were recovered. In 1889 the losses reported aggregated $62,643, 24,401.85 lost or mislaid. ‘Lhere were recovered $25,606.45, A COMPARISON, The police, in the year gone by, placed upon the records of arrest 24,372 cases—white, 11,764; colored. 12,608. Of these 1,819 were nolle rossed upon a preliminary examination and 10 were dismissed, including all cases of in- toxication, which were disposed of by the police lieutenants. This would leave 15,143 cases fined or held by the Police Court. In- cluded in this number were 13 charges of mur- der, 4 less than in 1589; 495 cases of affray against 622 the year previous; 75 cases of as- sault with intent to kill, while in 1889 there were 61; 44 charges where officers of the force were assaulted, while the year before there were but 24; for cruelty to animale 217 cases, where fines were imposed, in 1889, 209; 176 charges for carrying concealed weapons. 6 more than during the previous year; there were #1 cases of arrest for grand larceny, in 1889 but 63; 4 for highway robbery and 6 in 1889; 25 cases of housebreaking in the day and 40 the year preceding; $1 of housebreaking in the night to the last year. Comparing farther the years 1890 and 1889, the arrests numbered, for lar- ceny from the person, 27 and 47; larceny from the government. 5 and 9; obtaining goods un- der false pretenses, 33 and 40; petit larceny, 649 and 666; wnting Poliey, 51 and acking poliey, 19 to 6, respectively. Thus it will be observed that the police have not been idle. ‘The small increase in the number of minor, but meaner crimes reported, has kept up with the increased number of spprebensions and con- i ions. It is quite apparent that there isa large amount of petty thieving and swindling going on in the District each year, and it is a difticult task for the uniformed policeman to deal su cessfully in ferreting out such cases. No stronger argument need be advanced for an in- crease of the detective force than these figures | present, While the population of the District | saproot growing steadily, while the capital is yearly becoming the resort for all the great conventions and society gatherings and offenses keep pace with increasing population, there has been no additional strength given the de- tective branch of the police service. A dozen years ago there were six members of the de- tective corps; their number is but six today. —— ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE The Fiftieth Anniversary of the Found- ing of Unton Lodge.

Acting Adjutant General McKeever has sub- mitted to the Secretary of Wer his annual re- port on matters connected with the army not covered in his report to the general of the army which was published last week. Concern- ing military schools, Gen. McKeever says that the averge number of pupils over fifteen years of age attending these schools during the past year was 11,649, and 6,005 of this number re- ceived military instruction. These schools, he says, are improving in the number of pupils attending them. Gen. McKeever recommends that the reward for tho arrest of deserters be increased from $50 to $100, and he also recom- mends that the poy of non-commissioned ot- ficers be increase Gen. McKeever says that on June 30 last there wore 481 prisoners at Fort Leavenworth military prison. The condition of the prison during the year was good, but the large num- ber of discharges and of reductions of sen- tences, and especially the discussions through- out the newspapers and journals of the country regarding an amnesty for deserters, produced aspirit of very great restlessness, which re- Union Lodge, No. 11, LO.0.F., was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies last evening at Washington Hall, Pennsylvania avenue and 3d atreet southeast. ‘The exercises of the evening were opened with prayer by Past Grand Rich- ard Emmons, after which a few remarks of in- troduction were made by Past Grand Wm. T. Palmer, chairman of the anniversary commit- tee. A historical address was read by Rev, Richard Emmons, secretary of the lodge. Union Lodge was founded in 1840 by fifteen members, all but one of whom are now dead. In 1844 the lodge moved to Odd Fellows’ Hall ou Sth street southeast, where it remaimed itil 1885, when its present quarters were ob- tained at Washington Hall. Since its organiza- tion the lodge has paid out to widows and orphans 5,000; for sick benefits, $15,000; as donations, $7,000. and for burying the dead, 7.000. At the conclusion of the secretary's address a program of songs and recitations was reucdered, toilowed by an address, “Our Jubi- lee,” by Past Grand George C. Ober.

SAYS HK SHOT TO KILL. Norman, the Colored Jockey, Held for Shooting John Kelly in the Leg. Harry Norman, the colored jockey who shot John Kelly at the race track yesterday, as statedin Tae Sran, was taken to the Police Court today and committed to jail to await the result of the wound he inflicted. Norman is nineteen years old, and was employed by Mr. E. C. Blunt. John Kelly is also a horseman, and is about twice as old as the jockey. It 1s stated that he had been drinking yesterday, and while at the club house he and Norman hada quarrel. The latter, it appeared, did not want to fight and asked Kelly to let him alone. Kelly, how- ever, had enough liquor in him to make him quarrelsome, and the war of words was con- tinued through the grounds some distance.and when the stable was reached Norman went in and returned with a five-shooter ‘British bull- dog” revolver. UE EMPTIED THE REVOLVER. There were four bullets in the weapon and the boy pulled the trigger until the last one had been sent in the direction of Kelly. Only one of the bullets took effect and that one en- tered Kelly’s leg. It struck the bone and lodged in the fleshy part of the leg, causing an injury that is not likely to prove fatal. ad another bullet,” was Norm: remark, “I would have killed the —— ——. ‘The shooting occurred about 12:30 o'clock and Policeman Elliott was informed of the affair soon afterward, Learning that Norman had gone in the direction of Maryland the ofticer went in pursuit of him and captured [rio only a few yards this side of the District ine. Norman, who only had #1 in his pocket when arrested, said that he intended going to Wil- ae tation and taking a train there for the south. The case willbe heard as soon as Kelly is able to appear. eee TO BE HELD IN ATLANTA, The National Convention ot the W, C. T. U.—Delegates En Route.

A decision of more than ordinary interoat was handed down in the Supreme Court of tho United States yesterday, as briefly mentioned in Tae Stag, the opinion being rendered by Justice Field. The history of the case shows that Henry Christiansen sold intoxic: ‘ing liquor at retail for several years in the city of San Francisco, but that in 1889 his application for a renewal of his license was refused by the Police commissioners of the city becanse the reputation of the saloon was not good. Chris- tiansen continued business, however, without a license and was arrested. His counsel sued outa writ of habeas corpus, and the United States circuit court ordered Christiansen’s release on the ground that the ordinance under which he was deprived of his license made his business depend upon the arbitrary will of others and; in that respect, denied to him the equal protection of the laws. Of this phase of the question the Supreme Court says LIBERTY NOT UNRESTRICTED LICENSE. “It is undoubtedly true thatit is the right of every citizen to pursue any lawful business, subject only to such restrictions as are imposed upon all persons of the same age, sex or condition. But the possession and enjoyment of this right, and, indeed, of all rights, are subject to such restrictions as may be deemed by the governing ope of the country es- sential to the safety, health, peace, good order and morals of the community. Even liberty itself is not unrestricted license to act uecord- ing to one’s own will. {t is only freedom from restraint under conditions essential to the equal enjoyment of the same right by others, It is then liberty regulated by law.” ‘The court says the regulations governing the various pursuits of life are almost infinite, varying with the nature of the business. Some regulations being designed to lessen noise, others to protect health, others to remove odors, and so on, It would hardly be necessary to mention this, the court continues, were it not for the position often taken and vehe- mently pressed, that there is something wrong inthe principle and objectionable in similar restrictions when applied to the business of selling by retail intoxicating liquors. It is urged that as the hquors are used as a beverage, and the injury following’ them if taken in excess is voluntarily inflicted and is confined to the party offending, then sale should be without restriction, the contention being that what @ man shall drink, equally with what he shall eat, is not properly matter for legisiation, On this point the court say ON LIQUOR LEGISLATION, “There is in this position an assumption of fact which does not exist, that when the liquors are taken in excess the injuries are confined to the parties offending. ‘Ihe injury, it is true, first falls upon him in his healt hich the habit undermines; in his morals, which it weakens, aud in the self-abasement, which it creates, But, as it leads to neglect of business and waste of property and general demoraliza- tion, it affects those who are immediately con- nected with and dependent upon him, “By the general concurrence of opinion of every civilized and Christian community there are few sources of crime and misery to society equal to the dram shop where intoxicating liquors in small quantities to be drunk at the time are sold indiscriminately to all parties ap- plying. The statistics of every state show a greater amount of crime attributable to this than any other source. Tho sale of such liquors in this way has therefore been, at all times,con- sidered a proper subject of legislative regula- tion. For that matter, their sale by the glase may be absolutely prohibited, It is 2 question of public expediency aud public morality and not of federal Jaw. NO INHERENT RIGHT TO SELL LIQUOR. “There is no inherent right of acitizen to sell intoxicating liquors by retail; it is not a privi- lege of a citizen of a state or of a citizen of the United States, In the prohibition or the regu- lation of the traffic discretion may be vested in officers to decide to whom to grant and to whom to refuse liquor licenses, ‘The officers may not always exercise the powers conferred upon them with wisdom or justice to the part- ics affected. But that is a matter which docs not affect the authority of the state or one which can be brought under the cognizance of the courts of the United States. “The order discharging the prisoner is there- fore reversed und the case remanded, with di- rections to take further proceedings in con- formity with the opinion of the court.’ WILL NOT DRAW OUT, Players’ League Managers Will Con- tinue at the Old Stand. Pittsburg was full of base ball people yoster- day in anticipation of the Players’ League meeting at the Monongahela House today, Among the prominent ones were John M. Ward of Brooklyn, Col. McAlpin of New York, Al Johnson of Cleveland, Col. Vandersilice and the Wagner brothers of Philadelphia and Messrs, Auton and Addison of Chicago, “The Players’ League will go on next season just the same as last season,” said a prominent magnate. “We have made every effort to bring about a con- solidation with the National League people, but they thought we wero weakening and placed a serious obstacle in the way of a compromise, Now we are through with them.” “This story about New York and Brooklyn having consolidated is all bosh, You will find both clubs represented tomorrow and they will abide by the decision arrived at by the dele- gates present. We will either all consolidate or all stand together for another seascn,” Last evening an informal conference was held, at which the plans and prospects of the Players’ League for next season were discussed. A special from New York says that Washing- ton is making efforts to secure a place in the Players’ League in case of consolidation in New York and Brooklyn, Remarkable Prediction, To the Editor of Tux EveNrxe Stan: Upon Thursday ning, November 8, 1888, following Tuesday, November 6, which wit- nessed the defeat of Mr. Cleveland, a remark- able prediction was uttered by a democrat of this city, which appeared in Tax Evex1No Stan of Friday, November 9, 1888, The surprising manner in which this predic- tion has been verified has recalied the atten- tion of many to the incident who were present and heard, as well as many more who read it in Tue Evexing Stan of November 9, 1888, The Jackson Democratic Association having assembled ut their regular meeting, Mr, James L Norris, the president of the association, calling the mecting to order spoke as fol “In the first hours of disappointment.” he said, ‘and what scemed to be our nation’s de- feat, it is neither wise nor just to ourselves,nor to our traditions, nor to the great party throughout the country with which we are affiliated, for us to indulge in mere impulse of feeling or in ebullitions of censure upon the management of the campaign.
