Tommy Tomaso, a little Italian boy, aged nine years, was today br@ught before Judge Kimball by Agent Parkman and Assistant Agent Douglas of the bbdrd of children’s guardians, the complaint being that he was not properly cared for by his father. Judge Kimball made an order placing the boy termporarily in. charge of the board, to await further investigation as to some claims made on behaif of the father by Mr. Mareno, who acted as interpreter in the case. The evidence which was developed dur- ing the hearing presented some incidents the like of which have seldom, if ever, been ight out in the local Police Court. It alleged by a number of witnesses that e boy had been frequently beaten by the her because he did not bring home at ight a stipulated amount of money. It tated on the boy’s authority by these s that they had frequently been him that the father gave him 10 the morning and required him to 5 at night. It was the rule, the said, that if he did not get home by 7 o'clock or 8 o'clock, with the for the father to beat him upon th t told by cents in money his return, and if he remained out to a later hour until he made the stipulated amount he was then beaten for staying out late. Marks on His Head. Judge Kimball examined the hoy’s head and found marks upon it which looked as though they had been inflicted by some blunt instrument, and the boy said that it was done by his father striking him with a big key. The boy is an unusually bright lad, and, although he has attended school but three months in his life, and never since his father brought him to Washing- ton, about eighteen months ago, he is able to write and speak English remarka- bly well. A gentleman present told Judge Kimball that he was so impressed with the boy’s story and from what he had learned by investigation about him that he would, if the judge would permit it, give boud to send the boy to school until 1 { { i tunity for gift-choosing. the buying easy. z 22 lots coats cut.

Charles E. Gerner, the young man who was taken to the Emergency Hospital yes- terday afternoon, suffering from an appar- ent dose of laudanum, died about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Coroner Carr made an investigation of the case, and gave a cer- administered dose with suicidal iutent, so that the question of why it was taken has nut been decided. Garner was only twen- ty-on® years old, and, as stated‘in yester- day’s Star, he lived with his mother and sisters at No. 414 I street northeast. ‘The statement that the young man had been drinking is denfed, and friends who were intimately acquainted with him say he was not a drinking man. Speaking of the case today, a brother of the deceased said he could not believe the latter had committed suicide. There was absolutely no reason for such an act, and he was in- clined to the belief that the affair might rove to be other than suicide. His brother, e said, had been but recently paid. af, and he had considerable money in his pockets. night before last. Byt yesterday, he said, fo money was fourd on Not even his key; lie said, was found. 5 ‘When thé coroner gave the death certifi- cate the body was turned ‘over to Under- by | decorated Marriage of Mr. George Bradley and Miss McDonald. 1 Correspondence of The Evening Star.

The heirs named were three grandchildren—William Cor- coran Eustis, George Peabody Eustis and Louise Marie Eustis, who are all living. Miss Eustis is now the wife of Mr. Hitch- cock, whose father is one of the trustees of the estate. Both of the trustees named in the will, Anthony Hyde and Chas. M. Matthews, died several years ago. The former, who was for many years Mr. Cor- 1n’s confidential secrefary and business stant, passed away not iong after the th of Mr. Corcoran. In his place Mr. William Corcoran Hill, a nephew of the testator, was appointed, as requested in the will in the event of the death of either of the trustees. The present trustees are Mr. Hill and Mr. Hitchcock of New York. The title to quite a good deal of valuable real estate. is vested In the Corcoran es- tate. Such pieces of property as the Cor- coran building, Pennsylvania avenue and th street; the Arlington Hotel, Vermont avenue and H street; the residence, Con- necticut avenue and H street, occupied for 50 many years by Mr. Corcoran; the house adjoining on H street, where Secretary La- mont lived during the last administgation, and other vieces of property. Thefpstate also owns the property adjoining thd[build- ing occupied by the Riggs “National (Bank. At the time of Mr. Corcoran’s deafh the entire piece of property, including the bank building, with frontages on the,avenue and 15th street, was owned in common by Mr. Corcoran and the heirs of the late George W. Riggs. A few years ago, however, a division was effected, the Riggs estate tak- ing the bank building and the Corcoran estate the property on each side. ——> HOME FOR VETERANS.

The time spent by the police in relieving want and distress is more valuable to the com- | munity in preventing crime than double that time spent in making arrests for trivial offenses. feeling among the poor when they appear in the double light of punishers of evil- doers and relievers of suffering and want. This double phase goes a long ways toward preventing the making of criminals. Take away the latter character and the police are merely, in the eyes of a large portion of the poor, their natural enemies. Hunger makes criminals, suffering makes _crimi- nals, the sight of dear ones in distress makes criminals, and the policeman when he devotes a ‘portion of his time to pre- venting this manufacture of applicants for criminal degrees is performing in the high- est, noblest and most efficient way the du- ties for which he wears a blue uniform and brass buttons. Every one acquainted with police charity work knows how faithfully that charity is dispensed. Last winter in a time of deep distress the work of allevia- tion to the credit of the police ts an unfad- ing honor to the men and their methods. From personal knowledge I can say that every dollar which passed through this channel did its full work and more. :t drew the people closer to the law and the relief extended was immediate. This brings up another phase of the question. The policemen are on theirsbeats constantly. They are not making flitting and occasional visits to different localities. They are among their people weekly, daily, hourly. They know the lives and the history of the poor, and when the pinch comes they are in a position to make their relief immediate and effective. The police know whether the man or woman is suffering and their action is prompt and to the point. This naturally applies to emergency cases, to the times when the biting weather or other. causes tighten the clutch of distress on the throats of the poor. -For permanent relief, for devising and carrying out plans for preventing dis- tress, for laboring on the lines of providing work, and this is the keystone of the char- ity problem, the associated charities has its place and its work, work enough and so far evidently too much, for any single or- ganization. Let them work out these problems, but don’t deprive the greatest of the three graces—charity—of the assistance of her blue?uniformed agents of mercy and above all don’t take the action. on the The police establish a new | Prices Talk.
