No meeting has been held since Ordinarily in the summer one or two called meetings break the al between the regular sessions, but this summer nothing has occurred recuir- ing the cail of a meeting. This is owing mainly to the fact that the corporation has no mouey for any new underteking.

To the Euitor of The Evening Star: Thave just come in from the streets at 9: p-m.and for the twentieth time within si weeks Ihave encountered a little group of girls. Tonight it was three. These girls, whom J often meet, are not the same ones, but differ- ent ones, They nre always, however, of tender age—from ten years up to fifteen. What I wish to know is what are the mothers thinking of to allow these girls out alone on the streets after dark? ‘They themselves and the grown- up daughters must have an escort, forsooth, when they are out after dark, but. these little girls can saunter up and down and away sev- erat blocks all by themselves, ‘Chis evenin, these girl met two coarse fellows, laughing and talking coarsely. After they had passed the youngest girl, who looked apparently not over ten years, asked of her companions the mean- ing of what she had heard, and, to my surprise, for 1 hardly understood myself, these girls then proceeded to tell what they had beard ‘Saturday night.” These children belong to refined families, but they will con be cours and vulgar minded if allowed thus to wander about the streets. I have noticed this custom for two years and found these bare-headed youngsters in all parts of the city. It is time the attention of the parents was called to the matter and these chil- dren kept in the honse. If the parents know of these evening walks and do not prevent them it must be because they are inexcusably indolent or else aurprisir.gly ignorant of com- mon decorum and commer. sense.

It was stated to Dr. Schaeffer that there were dangerous holes in the beach and Mr. McGraw, father of one of the young men who lost their lives, also made complaint that the boys were permitted to go in bathing while there was no ‘one on the water to look after the youngsters.

Policeman David Cotter, who is stationed at the bathing beach, was the first witness called. He testified that he was on duty at the beach ‘Thursday when the drowning occurred and he was present when Kiefer's body was recovered. There were about 200 men and boys in the water that day. Witness had met de- ceased there weveral times and bein of a pleasant disposition witness had conve with him several times. Thursday witness said he offered to open one of the bath houses for Mr. Kiefer, but the latter declined, saying it would be an exception and others might | pect the same. He said he would therefore undress with the boys, Witness said he considered the young an a good swimmer and Thureday he saw hizo diving from the plank and swimming in deep water. Dr. Schaefer asked witness if all the boys, smali and large, were permitted to go in as deep as they pleased,as there was not there to limit them. He said he bad cautioned smail Loys not to go in the deep water and had fre- quently Ww sked the boys to look after each other. jess had also heard Mr. Stevens warn the “Slr. Stevens,” said witness, “is not the all day. He isa patent attorney and has bi business to look atter. He is usually there in the morning and evening. | Mr. Stevens is really the father of the beach.” Witness then went on to describe the location of the beach. THE BEACH DESCRIBED. The beach, said witness, is 500 feet long, the east end being for colored people and the west end for the whites. The beach is supposed to be covered with nine inches of sand, and is about nine feet below the mainland. ‘There iv a wharf at each end of the beach, from which the boys dive. There is no sign about the beach except the numbers on the bath house doors, Witness said he had seen the regulations for the beach printed in Tux Star, and when he went on duty there he was perfectly familiar with them. ‘The rules, witness thought, were prepared by Mr. Stevens and they were ap- proved and promulgated by the District Com- missioners. “Do you remember any clause in the rules calling attention to any dangerous place in the beach?” inquired Dr. Schaetter. DON’T KNOW ANY DANGEROUS PLACE, “I do not,” responded witness, “nor do I know of any dangerous place in the beach.” When further questioned witness said there was a rule prohibiting boys under «certain ge (Witness thought sixteen) from remaining e water more than one hour, unless ac- companied by parent or guardian. Dr. Schaeffer remarked that the need of a bathing beach was because of the uumber of boys who were drowned and asked witness concerping the marks, signs or presence of anything to indicate the end of the beach. Today, witness said, men are engaged in put- ting down poles and rails. When witness left the beach today Mr. Stevens and two other men were at work putting up the rails. “We did the very best we could,” remarked witness, “with the force we had.” Witness has been in the water a dozen times and he never found any dangerous holes in the beach. With a man in a life boat there witness would consider it a very safe beacc. HE RESCUED ONE BOY. When further queetioned witness said he res- cued one boy, whom he cautioned before he went in swimming. That boy was in danger because he had a life preserver on and it got down below his waist. Witness threw him a plank, but he did not get hold of it, and witness had to jump in and get him out. MH. W. X. STEVENS CALLED. Mr. W. X. Stevens, superintendent of the bathing beach, was called and Dr. Schaeffer told him that so far as he knew at present there was no intimation of a criminal prosecution, He told Mr. Stevens that he was at liberty to answer or refuse to tell about the beach, &c., as lie chose. Mr. Stevens said he would answer any ques- tion asked him; that there was nothing but what he would tell. “I was the originator of the idea myself,” said witness. “I aboy who grew to be thirteen years oid nd who did not know how to swim. The idea disgusted me, and knowing there was no place where le could swim without wading through mud I started out to secure the erecticn of a beach where there would be no current.” Witness explained the location and work on the beach. ‘The selection of the place was ap- roved by Col. Hains, but he did not think That Col Hains had inspected it recently. During the progress of the work, witness one colored boy was drowned, while away from tho beach there was about a dozen. He explained that the object was to have the beach slaut out gradually so that one might wade with perfect safety until the water reached a depth of tive feet. NoT YET FINISHED. Thursday witness said he went to the beach about 2 o'clock, during low tide, and had them take hold of bands and walk from the shore. Only one hole was found and that was not a dangerous one. He thought the beach was in excellent condition. Day before yesterday, he said, there was no fence to make the limit of the beach, but today there is. The beuc , i® not yet fin- ished and has not y opened. Continuing, witness said that while the work was in progres considerable trouble was ex- Rerlenced in trying to keep the boys away. hile the men were at work on one end the boys would appear and get in the water at the other end. COUNTING THE CLOTHING. Mr. Stevens told the jury that he wasat the beach when the first call was made for the clothing, and he told of Officer Cotter making the boys come out and claim the clothing. There was no clothing extra, and the extra clothing was not found until a second count was made. When the bey first stepped on the body it was in water about waist deep, and when one of the boys attempted to pick Se ane slip) of the side of the fii, where the water is about twelve feet deep.

Mr. Stevens said he hoped the jury would recommend three policemen for the beech. “And don’t you think a life boat would im- prove it and thake it safer?” “Certainly it w: answered witness. “We had aboat there but it was stolen. There isa boat which we can get for #10, and I think the man will wait for hismoney, so that I think the boat will be gotten soon.” Witness suid that Col.

Last yeur he said there Were sixteen cases of drowning. This cloved the testimony and the jury took the matter un- der consideration. THE 1 STRICT Gas. Facts Stated in the Annual Keport of In- spector Ford. The annual report of S. Calvert Ford, spector of gas and meters for the District of Columbia, was today submitted to the Commis- sioners. It shows that the average illuminating power during the year was 17.85 candles and the average pressure 1.29 inches. The company failed on two oceasions to fur- nish gas up to the standard, The average iltuminating power of the Georgetown Gas Light Company was 16.92 candles, and the company failed on five occasions to furnish gas of the proper illuminating power. During the year 1.468 meters were inspected. Of this number 71 were regirtered fast, with an average error of 4.92 per cent; 63 registered slow, with an average error of 5.37 per cent, and 1,329 registered within the limits allowed by law; 130 were complained of by consumers, ST of which registered fast and 33 registered low. The sum of $734 was received as fees for meter inspection. In concluding his report Mr. Ford says: “It is desirable that the illuminating power, PRTty and pressure of the (gas supplied the Washington Gas Light Company from its different sources of supply be ascertained as soon as practicable. I, therefore, renew the recommendation made’ in the annual report of this office for the year 1589 that a laboratory be established in the vicinity of the new gua works in Southeast Washington and provided with the necessary instruments for inspec tion.” Former recommendations relative to the ap- intment of an assistant inspector and modi- ications in the clauses of the act regulating the inspection of meters are again eubmitted for consideration. sailed tere ADMIRAL WALKER TALKS. He Denies the Stories of Disrespect on His Part Toward Admiral Gherardi. The Portland Press prints the following in- terview with Admiral Walker relative to the stories of disobedience and disrespect on bis part shown to Admiral Gherardi at Port au Prince and recently at Bar Harbor: “The explanation of these attacks is simple. They are made by an individual who is @ per- sonal enemy of mine for the purpose of in- juring me with the department. I am satis- fied that I know very well who it is, though, of course, I am not prepared to say that I can prove it, for I have given it no such attention as that would require, but I am satisfied as to the fact. ‘These charges are ridiculous and could be easily disproved by the testimony of any of the officers who were present on those occa- sions, but there's no use in replying to things like that; it does no good. At Harbor there was not the slightest disrespect shown by m everything was as it should be, all done right under secretary Tracy's eye, and if there had been the slightest infringement of the rules be would have noticed it. Several of the leadi: newspapers have offered to take up the endgel for we, but I declined. These fabrications can't hurt me.’ “But they say there have been charges pre- ferred against you at Washington and pigeon- holed by political friends,” said the reporter. “Is there anything in that?” “No, sir,”” was the emphatic response. “There have been no charges whatever filed against me at Washington, and therefore they cannot have been pigeon-holed. That I know to bea fact. That Port au Prince story is of the same kind—nothing in it whatever. ‘They can- not hurt me in the least with the department, where the facts are known, and I am confident that the public will learn ‘the truth some day, if they do not already know it.” Sats eamats train CRUELTY IN AN INSANE ASYLUM.
