MORAL PLAGUE SPOTS ——— District Commissioners Will Clean Out a Disreputable Locality. NEIGHBORAOOD OP THE NEW POST OFFICE Looking for a Place Where Vice Will Not Be So Obtrusive. OTHER DISTRICT = AFFAIRS Hooker's Division, with all its bad his- tory, is going to be wired out. For some time past the Commissioners have been censidering the advisability of such a move, and it is understood that they have agreed to obliterate all traces of vice in that sec- tion of the city as soon as a place can be decided upon where the disreputable char- acters can live. Some time ago matters came near reaching a focus, and the Com- missioners went so far as to send for Lieut. Amiss, who has charge of that police pre- cinct, 1or the purpose of getting some sug- gestions from him as to where it would be best to move these people. The lieutenant, it is understood, made a careful investiga- tion of the city, and submitted several loca- tions to the authorities. Just what his sug- gestions were, and the exact Iccations he | eret, but it is} ed | | | recommended, is a great si understocd that the location conside most desiranle from ail standpoints w one back of the naval observator. The matter has been resting for some time, and the facts as above set forth were oaly developed tod: It is believed no action will be taken in the imme- diate future, although it is certain that by the time the new post oftice is com- pleted all traces of the Division will have been wiped out. Some time ago, during the administration of a former board of Commissioners, an effort was made to reform the character of 3th street from Pennsylvania avenue to the Agricultural grounds. They considered 18th street ihe principal thoroughfare he- tween South Washington and North Wash- ington, and believed it eminently proper to fiee it m all bad influences. Nothi however, was done at tha time, because, it was stated, the Commissioners learned upon investigation that a mimber of the disr able hous were owned by the ho kept them, and there was doubt &s to the Commissioners’ authority to evict them. This argument will be of no avail, however, to ths proposed action of the present board, for it has already decided a@ parallel case against one of tnis class. The case referred to was one of a woman who owred and kept a disrepuiable house on 10th strect. When ordered to move she argued that she owned the house and the authorities had nothing to do with her. But Lieut. Amiss was instructed to give her thirty days’ notice, and if after that time she had not moved, to 1 the house every vight until the place was broken up. ia co: ith the probable action of the Commissioners much interest is cente upon ed the proceedings of the excise lly regarding saloons in that signs mean anything the ex- cise board will stand by it tion of cleanirg out sion. ever: in that section of the city considered by the excise board, and every one of them been held up | pending further consideration.

There is no Jaw in the District which gives the Commissioners authority to regu- Jate the laying of conduits, or the erection ef poles. True, there is general authority as to their erection and maintenar but the law is silent regarding the character of either c This being the case, the importance of the subject de a law upon it, the Commissioners are pr paring a bill to be presented to Co: that will give them the authority sary to properly enforce suitable regu tions upon the subject. For some time past replies to circular letters have been coming in from the principal cities of the United States, giving whatever data the authorities have upon the subject, and from these Capt. Fiebeger, who has been given charge of the matter, is drafting a set of regulations for the District. Per- haps the most important of the regulations will be the one giving the Commissioner the right to reserve in every conduit laid ore or more compartments fer the use of the District wires, free of charge, and upon every pole erected the right reserved to the nec District to use the same for the stringing of its own wires Iree of charge. The Dollar-Gas Bill. As stated in The Star of Tuesday, Commissioners have decided to re nunne for enactment a oill reducing the price of gas to $1 per thousand cubie feet, and stip- ulating that its quality shall be first-class. the This morning President Tucker of Northeast Washington Citizens’ s! tion called upon Major Pewell and had seen the statements in The f Tuesday that the Comm ners had de cided to recommend dollar and adde that the association he represented vw LS, heartily in favor of the project, and would lend its best efforts to have p bill en- acted. Major Powell, in reply, stated that it was true the bill had been considered, as stated in The Star, and was now awaiting action by the board. He had made a port upon the same, recommending adoption, and the Commissicners its were uranimous in their approval of the same. It is Congr eted that the bill will be sent to this w A The Divorce Laws. A bill recently submitted to the Comm sioners from Congress, having for its ot ject the prevention of fraudulent divorces in the District of Columbia, will not re- ceive the approval of the Commissioners, it Is understood, for the reason that th law in force is ample to cover the subject. Police Regulations. The Commissioners in board session have approved the amended police regulations, and ordered the same to be printed as an advertisement for thirty days, after which time they will go into effect. The import- ant changes have been referred to from time to time in The Star. Slack Order Signed, Judge Hagner today signed a formal or- der enjoining the institution or prosecution of legal proceedings here or elsewhere re- specting the custody of the children of the late William H. Slack. The injunction is to continue until the further order of the court, that is, until the contest over the will of the father of the children shall have been de- termined.

Tcday about noon there was a serious runaway accident, in which Dr. Whalen of No. 1621 Connecticut aver.ue and John Ar- nold, his colored driver, were injured. The doctor's horse became frightened near New Jersey avenue and G street, and ran along Massichusetts avenue as far as 3d street. At the corner of 3d street the horse ran against the iron fence inclosing the public park, thrcwing both the doctor and the driver from the buggy. Both men were taken in Healey’s drvg store, where they received medical treatment, and Dr.Whalen was afterward sent home.

The same jury of seven appraisers who sat in the first case, 419, Denison and Leigh- ton's subdivision, have been sworn in this case, and yesterday they inspected the tract, which adjoins the village of Mt. Pieasant to the west and north. Testimony was offered this morning on behalf of the District as to the value of the various lots in the subdivision, Mr. J. B. Wimer being the first witness called. Mr. Wimer Testifies. Mr. Wimer stated that he has been en- gaged in the real estate business here for thirteen years, and is well acquainted with suburban property, being somewhat famil- iar with the subdivision in controversy. He had, however, no personal knowledge of sales in the subdivision or in its immediate neighborhood for some time. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson objected to Mr. Wimer's testimony because he had not shown himself to be sufficiently well inform- ed as to values therein, but Judge Cox held tkat he might testify, the jury to determine the valve of his evidence. The witness then stated that he valued lot 1, block 1, at 75 cents a foot, and thought that the lot would be benefited by the taking of part of it, because it would then be placed on a broader thoroughfare. Lots 2 to 9, inclusive, he placed at 50 cents; lot 10, 40 cents; lots 11, 12 and 1 cents, and lots Due to other national bs Due tate banks “deposits * I, Brent L.

The witness said that a 100-foot lot on a fifteen- foot alley would be worth fully as much as a 107-foot lot without an alley, al- thovgh he. thought 100 feet hardly ‘deep enough for a suburban lot.

The pro- posed opening and extension of the streets would, he thought, materially benefit the subdivision. To state the percentage of values would, he believed, be a mere guess. To Mr. Brown Mr. Davidson explained that the mere designing the opening and extension of the streets on a map would not benefit the subdivision.

Frank Murphy, who keeps an upholstery establishment near 18th and M streets, was arrested this afternoon by Detective Car- ter on a charge of grand larceny, and he gave bond for his appearance in court to- morrow. John C. Govers, who swore out the warrant, claims that he went to Murphy’s establishment to pay $15 to a man named Carr. He had a check for $108, whick Murphy went out and got cash- ed for him. Murphy, it is charged, claim that Govers owed him a bill of several years’ standing and he kept the money when he got the check cashed. Govers says he protested, but Murphy kept the money.

Sixth race, An Explosion in a Sewer. Foreman Robinson of the sewer depart- ment had a narrow escape from death this morning. He was examining the fifteen- inch pipe sewer on 15% street between B and C streets when the accident occurred. He entered the sewer with a lighted lamp, when an explosion occurred, which knocked him down and rendered him insensible for a few minutes. When he recovered suffi- ciently he was taken to the Emergency Hos- pital, where he received medical aid. It was learned upon investigation that a wo- man living in the neighborhood had poured a@ quantity of gasdline into the sewer, and the fumes ignited when the foreman en- tered with the naked lamp.
