Yesterday afternoon, in Willard Chapel, Rev. William Searls, D.D., formerly splain of Auburn prison, delivered a lec- re on “The Causes of Crime.” His lecture ‘s in ovtline: “The first great cause of crime is found in herited criminal tendencies. Heredity 1s ~exorable in its laws, and thousands are orn into the world with a pre-decided haracter that drives them remorselessly <n the downward path. The famous case of the Jukes giyes most startling statistics. from Margaret and her two sisters there sprang forth such a family of criminals hat Margaret has ever since been called he ‘mother of crime.’ In 100 years their ‘escendants numbered 1,200 and of their rumter 300 were paupers and 300 accused of crime. The e of their terms served in prison amounts to 700 years, and the family cost the state of New York over @ million and a half dollars. “The second cause of crime is disrespect fer jaw. This is found among the old and yeung of the lower classes. They have an entirely wrong idea of what law is cnd what it is for. They regard it lightly. Con- sequently it has little restraining influence with them. A third cause of crime is non- employment. Nothing is truer than that an idle mind is the devil's workshop. History has proved it true. is a chief fac- tor among the influences toward evil. An- other cause of crime is licentiousness. Its influence {s fearful to behold. Two men are in Auburn’s prison today awaiting the death penaity, and brought there through this passion. It ruins men and women. Its per- nicious influence is a canker upon society. Indirectly there are many influences con- tributing to the growth of this sin. The low dance hall and the cheap theater both play their part. Our laws are very faulty as regards these evils. A great reform is ‘heeded. Another cause of crime is a one- sided education. As well put in charge of an engine an engineer who knows his en- gine’s machinery, but does not know how to run it, as to teach a child everything except how to live. Our educational system has neglected the moral side in its training. ‘This should be corrected. And one more of the causes of crime is found in # failure to inspire the young with a right estimate of life. After teaching them to live they need to know of how much value is life, that they may be stimulated to live aright. ‘Lastly, I mention a cause of crime that T do not mean to place as least because I put it last. It is intemperance. What shall We do against this evil? It drives otherwise noble men and women into insanity that ccmmits the most heinous crimcs, It makes a kind husband murder his wife; it impels a loving parent to kill his children. The blood of its victims cries out against it. May we heed the call of duty to arouse oursel: and strive single-mindedly ‘all these erlme-produciug influences.” ——_+ o+—___ “Want” ads. in The Star because they bring answers, ud 2BOS SSOSESDOSELSD OSSOHERES LIGHTS IN THE PARKS| THREATENED BETTER; YET Reports of General Wilson and Colonel Bingham. Hampered by the Act of March 3, Pro- hibiting the Laying of Conduits— Strange Condition of Affairs. Secretary Alger today, in response to a Senate resolution of May 19, calling for certain information in regard to the elec- tric lighting of the public parks of the Dis- trict, forwarded reports on the subject from Gen. Wilson, chief of engineers, and Col. Bingham, Corps of Engineers, in charge of public buildings and grounds. Col. Bingham, who reported to Gen. Wil- son, says: “I have the honor to return herewith the resolution of the United States Senate, dated May 19, 1897, calling on the superintendent of public buildings and grounds to report whether he has ac- cepted bids for park lighting at the rate of $91.25 per light and rejected others at rate of $10 per light per annum, which was re- ferred to me from the office of the chief of ergineers on May 20, and to report as fol- lows: “The officer in charge of public buildings and grounds has not accepted bids for park lighting at the rate of $91.25 per light, nor rejected bids at the rate of $10 per light per year, nor have contracts for such light- ing been entered into. “On April 26, 1897, proposals for lighting with arc electric lights the following parks were invited: Lafayette Park, six lights; Franklin Park, nine lights; Judiciary Park, nine lights; Lincoln Park, eight lights. Bids were received and opened May 10, 1897, as follows: United States Electric Lighting Company, at $10 per light per an- num for twenty-four lights for the first three parks mentioned; Potomac Electric Power Company, at $1.25 per light per arnum for the thirty-two lights in the four parks mcntioned. The bids were sub- mitted to the chief of engineers, May 11, 1897, with the following remarks: “The lowest bid for lighting three of the parks mentioned, viz., Lafayette, Franklin and Judiciary Parks, is that of the United States Electric Lighting Company, which does not submit a bid for lighting Lincoln Park, doubtless owing to the fact that its conduits do not extend to that park. This company has no conduits within the limits of the three parks which it proposes to light at the rate of $10 per annum, and under the provision contained in the act making appropriations for the government of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, approved March 3, 1897, it is believed that this office has no Power to grant permission for the intro- duction of additional conduits or overhead wires within any of the parks under its jurisdiction, This provision, which is also contained in the sundry civil -bill which passed the House of Representatives, U. 8., on March 19, 1807, and which carries an ap- propriation for lighting the four parks al- luded to, is as follows: * * * ‘Until Con- gress shall provide for a conduit system, it shall be unlawful to lay conduits or erect overhead wires for electric lighting pur- poses in auy road, street, avenue, highway, park or reservation, except as hereafter specifically authorized by law: Provided, however, that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia are hereby authorized to issue permits for house connections * * and also permits for public lighting con- nections with conduits already in the por- tion of the street proposed to be lighted.’ “Should my construction of the law be correct it is recommended that the con- tract Le awarded to the Potomac Electric Power Company as soon as Congress shall have made the necessary appropriation, that company now having conduits within the four parks, which it is now lighting urder its contract of December 26, 1896, which expires by limitation June 30, 1897. ‘The price bid by the Potomac Electric Power Company, viz, 25 cents per light per night, is the price mentioned in the appropriation bill, and 2 cents less than the price paid the company under the present contract. “On May 15, 1897, the chief of engineers authorized the acceptance of the bid of the Potomac Electric Power Company, as recommended by me. The proposal nas not yet been accepted by this office because the bill containing the appropriation for lighting the parks mentioned has not yet become law.” In forwarding this report to the Secretary of War, Gen. J. M. Wilson, chief of engi- neers, says that “under the terms of the act of March 3, 1897, making appropriations for the government of the District of Columbia for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1598, I am impressed with the belief that it will be unlawful, until Congress shall provide for a conduit system, to lay conduits, or erect uverhead wires for electric lighting in any park or reservation. “While for this reason I have authorized the acceptance of the proposal of the Po- tomac Electric Power Company, the high- est bidder and the only party having con- duits in the parks, the award has not yet been officially made to the company. “if the law has been misconstrued by Col. Bingham and myself, and further conduits or overhead wires can be permitted in the perks, it is not too late to reverse the ac- tion taken in the matter, and to award the cc@tract to the lower bidder. “The proviso in the bill authorizing the Cemmissioners of the District of Columbia to issue permits for house connections and for ‘public lighting connections with con- duits already in the portion of the street proposed to be lighted,’ was believed to be for house and street lights, the public parks rot being under the control of the District Ccmmissioners, but of the officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, and the law apparently positively prohibiting the laying of conduits or erection of overhead wires for electric lighting purposes within the parks and reservations.” —_-e—_____ Thefts Reported. Miss Alice Judson, who lives at No. 120 Sth street northeast, has asked the police to investigate a case of theft. She was at the Lafayette Theater attending a rehear- sal Sunday morning, and while there she was robbed of $25. The money was taken from her satchel. J. H. Fishback, a bicycle dealer, wants his tandem bike recovered. He hired the wheel to a white man Sunday afternoon and the man failed to return it, so he re- ported today. James W. Green's barber shop at No. 248 K street southwest was robbed this morn- ing. A pair of clippers, shears and seven razors were taken. ‘This morning Charles Shaw's shoe shop on Ist street southeast was burglarized. A pair of shoes and some leather were taken. —_———_ Will Deliver Memorial Address. Recorder of Deeds Cheatham has accepted an invitation to participate in the Memo- rial day exercises at Newbern, N.

Yeager’s Bittéiness Toward His — bs es Admits the Chargesiin Required by Judge Mills to Give Bond to Keep me Peace. — £44 Lewis J. Yeager, who,'in the latter part of April, as was published in The Star at the time, created excitement at the corner of 14th and U streets northwest, by forcibly taking possesion of his infant chiid, then in the custody of his wife and her mother, Mrs. Louisa H. Austin, was tried today before Judge Mills in the United States branch of the Police Court on the charge of making threats against Mrs. Austin. Yeager was held in $200 bonds to keep the peace for six months, or in de- fault sixty days’ imprisonment. Bonds were given. Rev. Swem Testifies. Rev. E. Hez Swem, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, was the principal witnese for the government. He testified that dur- ing the latter part of April, the exact date or day of the week he did not remember, Yeager came to his house and related to him a long story of the manner in which he claimed to have been treated by Mrs. Austin, who had, he declared, caused his wife to leave him and take their child with her. In the course of the conversa- tion Yeager, Mr. Swem said, threatened a number of times to kill Mrs. Austin, and expressed the opinion that in view of the way in which she had treated him he would commit no sin in the sight of God if he did kill her. “I tried to dissuade him from carrying out his threats,” said Mr. Swem, “and at Yeager’s request we prayed together over the matter. At his request, also, 1 went up to Mrs. Austin’s house to see her and Bis wife, with’the intention of trying to effect a reconciliation between Mrs. Yeager and her husband. Changed His Mind. “But after having a conference with Mrs. Yeager and Mrs. Austin I made no attempt to carry out my mission, for I was dumfounded at what I was told by the ladies named in refererce to the married life of the Yeagers during the period of their residence ir Richmond, which was fer abcut two years’ duration. “Upon returning to my heme I found Yeager waiting for me, ard I reported to him the result of my visit to lis wife and inother-in-law. He then repeated his threats to kill Mrs. Austin, and I again tried to dissuade him, and after a long oR he left the house. “A day or two afterward I went to see Yeager in response to Fis request at his home on 9th street southeast. I found him in bed, and on a chair beside the coacn was a knife, with which, be said, he in- tended to kill Mrs. Austin. As on the pre- vious occasions, I tried to dissuade him from carrying out his threat, and told him that if he did the law would give him great trouble.” Mrs. Ford’s Story. Mrs. Celynda Ford testified that Yeager informed her of his feelings against Mrs. Austin, saying they were so intense on ac- count of the latter separating him and his wife that if he met Mrs,.Austin he would certainly kill her, because he would not be able to keep his hand§ off of her. Some evidence was givén in reference to the transaction at 14th atid U streets, when the baby was carried off: by Yeager, all of which was fully printed at the time. . Yeager, who testified im his own behalf, admitted that he had-saidihe “believed that from the manner in which Mrs. Austin had treated him if he enged‘her miserable ex- istence he would not»bewguilty of any of- fense in the sight of. Gid,” -but said he knew if he killed her: ‘the law would give him 4 great dea! of téouble.” Lawyer Closs spokerin behalf of Yeager, and pleaded with Judge sMills for an ac- quittal of his client./ Mr, Mullowney, for the government, madb’ a Btrong argument, ;and asked that a bond t keep the peice be required of Yeager. | i Judge Mills said thete wes no doubt that Yeager had ‘made threats against’ Mrs. Austiu, und that he would hold him in $300, but subsequently reduced the amount to $200 bond, which was given. —_->_—_ PREPARING FOR THE FOURTH. Dealers Already Applying for Per: to Sell Explosives, Notwithstanding the Fourth of July is mcre than a mcnth off, a number of dealers in fireworks have applied for permits to store and sell explcsives. These applications are made to the police, as the permits are issued by Maj. Moore, but before being granted they have to be acted upon by the Commissioners. The law forbids the stor- ing or selling of fireworks: without a per- mit, 2nd also prohibits the sale of them to boys under sixteen years old. Just what course the Commissioners will pursue in the matter this year is not known, for it is said the board has not yet discussed the question. The police hope that they will pursue the course that is usually followed, and aliow the setting off of the fireworks where they are calculated to do the least harm. Several years ago an effort was made to stop the use of explosives in public places, but {it had the effect of driving boys into yards and sheds, and the fire department was kept busy all day. An effort was made last year to have the boys go to vacant lots and celebrate, and afterward permits were given for the firing of explosives in front of the houses of the holders of the permits. But even this did not work, for those who ‘had fireworks discharged them anywhere on the streets. It is believed that the question will be taken up by the Commissioners in the near future and decided, in order to prevent stch a time as was experienced last year, when hundreds of permits had to be issued the last day. —_.>—___.
