Columbia Heights Wants Some Sani- tary Improvements. The Cause of Many Police Court Cases| Secretary George ,Simmons of the Co- Today. Typical Scenes Before Judge Miller— Sent Down for Not Having a Bicyele Lamp. Drunkenness is not «n offense in this District, and that is probably the reason that so many persons neglect their families and go off cn sprees when they certainly cannot afford it. In some states the offense of intoxication is a serious one, and the fear of a long term of imprisonment prob- ably keeps many lovers of strong drink from taking overdoses and then staggering about the streets. In one of the New Eng- land states the law against this class of offenders is of a nature that makes the of- fenders few and far between. When seen on the street intoxicated the victim's name @nd residence ts recorded in a police station, although he may not be arrested. The third time within a month that he is found in this condition he is hauled before a judge cr magistrate and is sentenced to prison for @ period of from six to twelve months. William Lacy was one of the victims of liquor this morning in the Police Court. He well understood the evils of interaperance, for he was once a rumseller and would now be engaged in the business if he had been granted a license to continue his business. “Obstructing the sidewalk with his per- Son,” read the clerk. “Are you guilty or not guilty?” “Guilty,” he responded, “but I would like to say a word.” ae is it?” “If xou give me unttl next Monday,” he said, “I'll pay the fine.” “What 's the charge?" Judge Miller asked. ‘Obstructing the sidewalk with his per- sol said the clerk, “Drunk?” “Yes, your honor,” said a policeman, “and he was lying across the sidewalk in front of Linn be Bridget's store."’ “What's your business?” Judge Miller asked the prisoner. " s m a fireman, and expect a job tomor- row,” he respoi “I owned a saloon in South Washington last ear, but couldn't Cae license Ua year.” = now the saloon owns you,” the Judge added. ‘4 Lacy promised to do better in the future and the court accepted his personal bonds. John Sullivan, a young man who lives at No. 8 Fenton street, so he says, narrowly escaped a sentence, and his trouble was brought on through the use of intoxicants. He was charged under the vagrancy act with being a suspicious person, and he said Not guilty." Barbara E. Cole, a neatly dressed colored woman, who is a domestic in a house at Rhode Island avenue and 15th street, was the principal witness in the case, According to her evidence John, who was under the influence of lquor last night, called at the house and she responded when he F gear the door bell. “I want you to give me a hat,” was the way he addressed the woman. She told him she had no hat, and he then said that money wouid answer just as well. “I called the madam,” said witness, “and she told him she had no money for him, and then he asked me for my hand, and I told him I wouldn't give it to hi “I was very full last night,” said the prisoner, “and must have been induced to go to the house by the men who were with me.”* Judge Miller thought that this should be -a lesson to him. “It’s a terrible disgrace,” the judge said to him, “for a man to be convicted of be- ing a vagrant. It .shows that he's too worthless, too trifling and too big a nuts- ance te live in the community.” “I_know it's disgraceful,” said Sullivan, “and I feel it this morning. He was released with a warning. Keep Off the Grass. Charles Bennett had taken so many drinks last night that he was not sober when he appeared this morning. Trespassing on the grass in Iowa Circle was the charge against him, and, although it was a difficult task, he managed to stam- mer, “Not guilty." “The court fines you $5," said the clerk. Then the man wanted to say something and the court inquired about the facts in the case. “I found him helplessly drunk in the park this morning,” said an officer, and the court let the judgment stand. . Oliver Nelson was drunk and didn’t know it. Habitual drunkard. was the charge against him, ard a policeman told of the number of times he-had seen him intoxi- cated. “Was he drunk yesterfay?""'tle court asked. no, judge,” the prisoner sald, “I wasn't drunk yesterday.” “Were you sober?” “Yes, sir.” “Your honor,” said the policeman, “he was so drunk that he didn’t know his heels from his head, and when I arrested him he put a shoe on his head for his hat.” “Thirty days.” There was a commonweal or industrial army case also before the court. William Frazier, a young colored man who was out on his bicycle last night with- out a light, was arrested. Pollceman Par- ham made the arrest and added cne more case to his record. William had been lc ck- ed up all night, but that did not appear to have been punishment enough Zor the of- fense and the court sent him down for nine days in default of fine. Minnelatta Brown was the name given by a woman charged with vagrancy, and the judge gave her thirty days. —_— MR. KERR'S MOVE. He Attacks the Plumbing Roard in a New Way. Letters have been received by the mem- bers of the appropriation committee of the House from Thomas W. Kerr of this city, | calling attention to the Senate's amend | ment to the Dist-ict appropriation bi which provides thus for the plumbing board: “For ‘compensation of not exceeding five members of the plumbing board at $200 each, $1,009, to be paid to said members, in addition to any solary paid them for other service.” p Mr. Kerr urges that the law of April 23, 1892, provides fo> seven men instead of five. and suggests that Congress did not intend to authorize the Commissioners to delegate the power of determining who shall practice plumbing in the District and that the public health is prctected in every way without the action of this board, because it is made the duty of the inspector of plumbing, by the regulations, to inspect all plumbing in the District cf every kind and in every place. He suggests that the Commissioners might create new offices for no legitimate purpose under this regulation appointing the board, and that it epens the way to favoritism and corruption, also that the power and right of the Commissioners to appoint this board is now in litigation before the Court of Appeals. Mr. Kerr is the plumber who recently ap- plied, without success, to Chief Justice Bingham for a writ of mandamus to compel the Commissioners to grant him a license. a Abandoned Her. | Mrs. Annie Waters has filed a petition for divorce from William Waters. The par- ties were married at Anacostia, D. C., | April 30, 1800. Two weeks later, the peti- tioner alleges, her husband commenced to treat her with great cruelty, due to his | vicious and evil temper, she says, and to | the excessive use of liquor. She also | charges that her husband was content to | have his mother-in-law support him, and the petitioner, and declares that May 29, 1 he willfully deserted and abandoned the petitioner. She therefore prays that she be granted divorce, and that she be al- lowed to resume her maiden name of Lani- gan. Sa Question of Administrator. Christopher L. F. Wassman, one of the heirs and next of kin of George Frederick Wassman, deceased, has moved that the or- der passed yester appointing George Emmert administr: + Vice John L.

Judge Hagner this afternoon granted the petition of Mrs. Madelen Polk Buell, who was some time ago granted a divorce from | Seas stus C. Buell, changing her name to | | Madelen Polk. + lumbia Heights Citizens’ Association has written to the Commissioners, calling their attention to certain nuisances that exist in thai section. The following facts are brought forth in the letter in regard to such nuisances: Cattle (bovine, hogs, sheep, &c.,) are per- mitted to roam at large on the streets and avenues, often doing great damage to’ pri- vate property and endangering the lives and limbs of women and children. He thinks that the police regulation which pro- hibits cattle from occupying the streets of the city of Washington and Georgetown should be extended to the suburbs. The following complaints are also made in the letter: The vicinity of Bismarck street, east of Sherman avenue, is used as a dumping ground for garbage, &c. Irving street, at the head of Sth street, is also used as a dumping ground for all sorts of refuse matter. A large pool of stagnant water at the southeast corner of Irving street and Sherman avenue is used as a receptacle for all serts of refuse matter, including dead animals. — TEMPORARY TRACKS, Commissioners Want Columbia Rails Put on G Street. The Commissioners are endeavoring to get a joint resolution through Congress au- thorizing them to require the Columbia Railroad Company, during the reconstruc- tion of its road, to lay its temporary tracks upon G street north and such other streets as the Commissioners may deem advisable. The necessity for this was called to the attention of the Commissioners several 's ago by Capt. Fiebeger, who said: “The Columbia Railroad Company has ap- Plied for permission to change its road so as to operate it with a cable. This will necessitate the tearing up of the entire road- way. During the reconstruction, especially in the eastern part of the city, it would be of great advantage to the general pub- lic if authority could be obtained from Con- gress to authorize the laying of their tem- porary tracks on G street and the inter- secting streets instead of on H street. G street from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks eastward is not paved and there would be no difficulty in laying temporary tracks upon that street. H street is a very heavily traveled street and the temporary tracks upon that street will be a very serious obstruction to travel.” —__ EXCURSIONS, ‘The popular excursion combination ticket to Chapel Point via the Harry Randall ts meeting with great favor. The trip of thirty-three hours includes transportation, with return ticket good until used, supper, lodging and breakfast at Hotel Belleview for $2.

The pensioner’ Frank _ Walls, who six weeks ago was run over and killed by one of the Bethesda electric cars, while lying intoxicated or unconscious from other causes on the track, and was buried near the scene of his death, in conformity with the law of Montgomery county, was yester- day removed from his roadside resting place and reinterred in Arlington cemetery. The ody was brought down by one of the cars and transferred at Georgetown to a hearse. Representatives of the Grand Army accom- panied the body to the cemetery. Walls was a member of company D, 102d Penn- sylvania volunteers. The body was in- cased in a neat coffin, and that wrapped in an American fi Nothing has ever been heard from the dead man’s relatives. At the time of his death a letter from his sis- ter, Kate McClellan of Pittsburg, Pa., was found on his person. The expense of the re- interment is said_to have been borne jointly by the railroad company and Grand Army. When the car struck the old soldier, id the tragic affair was reported to the au- thorities of the county, a jury — moned immediatély. After hearing the evi- dence in the case, both the railroad com- pany and the car's motorman and con- ductor were exonerated. It was seen through the papers found in the man’s pocket that he was a pensioner, and had but a day or two before received his quar- terly gift from the government. There are Many in the vicinity of the place where death was met of the opinion that the man was not intoxicated when struck, or that intoxication was not the real cause of his death, but that some one seeing him with money killed him an@ placed him on the tracks. He was so mangled by the car that it was impossible to state whether he had been previously struck or not. The jury rendered their decision that death had re- sulted in all probability through the man's condition, produced by the excessive use of Nquor. A letter found on the man, which had come from his sister, Kate McClellan, de- plored his continual use of intoxicants, and ended with, “if you ever get sober enough, write me.” Three dollars had been inclosed for the soldier to purchase shoes with, Being Entertained. Mr. E. C. Ford of Georgetown and Messrs. H. T. Brian and A. T.

There was a large attendance last evening at the annual session of the District Grand Ledge of Odd Fellows. Grand Master Wood read his report, which was referred to the committee on supervision. The committee on credentials made their report, which was adopted. Twenty-two past grands received the Grand Lodge degree. The election of officers resulted as follows: Grand master, Thodore Mead; deputy grand master, Richard H. Sorrell; grand warden, Thomas J. Jones; grand secretary, W. R. Hunt; grand representative, William P. Allan; grand treasurer, J. A. B. Espey; trustees to I. O. O. F. Hall Association, John H. Wood, one year, and Jacobus 8S. Jones, two years. This evening the meeting will be taken up with the reports of standing commit- tees, that on finance, on supervision, and a number of others. One of the important committees this year*is that on the bust- ness of the order. This is a committee of three that has beea charged by the Grand Lodge with working up the history of the order, its progress during the past year, with suggestions for changes in its administrative features, It is probable that at this session of the Grand Lodge an invitaticn will be extend- ed to the Sovereign Grand Lodge to hold its meeting in this city next year. Should the invitation be extended by the Grand Lodge to hold the meeting here, it 1s generally understood it will be accepted, and in that case it is predicted the number at the meet- ing will reach 100,000. —__-__— Damages Wanted for a Crushed Hand A sult has been filed by Charles C.
