Bold Robbery at the Residence of Mr. Mason Richardson—The Man Escapes. 2 Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock a masked burglar visited the residence of Mr. iason N.

Th> property taken b+longed to Mr. John C. Fill, father-in-law of Mr. Richardson. After taking the money from the 7 kets the burglar threw aw: the clothing. While in the house the daring criminal drew a revolver on both Mr. Fill and Mr. Richardson and threw red pepper in the ‘s of Mr. and Mrs. Fill. The lat- ter was so severely injured by the pepper that a physiclan had to be catied to cttend her.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN Indignation of Citizens Relative to Streets Scheduled for Improvement. Enforcement of Law Against Sale of Liquor to Sqijiers—Increasing Wiath of a Bridge. There is said to be a good Geal of indigna- tion expressed by a large number of cit- izens cf this place over the section cf Georgetown which the District Commis- sioners have placed in their estimates to Congress for the appropriation necessary to make the improvements which are deem- ed to be nesded. According to the estl-. mates submitted by the Commissioners the small sum of $15,000 is set apart for the improvement of streets in this section. The scheduie of streets is given, and em- braces thoroughfares in the eastern end of the town. Olive street, from 30th street to Rock creek, and N strect, from 27th to 28th streets, are included in the list A well-known citizen remarked to a Star 1eporter this morning that the improve- ments designated might make the p! lcok nice, yet they are not one-third as badly needed as those cailed for in other sections of the town. “Take R, S or T west of 3 et and running to reet,” said he. hese streets are traveled much more extensively than Olive or N street. and yet no attention has ever been paid to them. In fact, I think I can safely make the as- sertion that during each twenty-four hours not mere than two or three vehicles use Olive street or N street, especiaily that portion bordering on Rock creek. The other streets I have named are used neariy every hour during the day. I know the residents of the streets have been making strenucus efforts to have them improved, but to no avail.” Order Will Be Respected. The order enforcing the old law of the District regarding the sale of liquor to soldiers, which, it is understood, will be Put in operation today, will be observed by all of the salocn keepers in this sec- tion of the city, many of whom have notices up to the effect that no drinks will be sold to soldiers. ‘The result of this or- der is regarded as a sort of bonanza to the saloon keepers in Rossiyn and near Fort Myer. Drinks of all kinds can be secured just across the Aqueduct b no law being in existence there prohibi the sale of intoxicating drinks to the m from Camp Alger or any other camp of soldiers. Widening P Street Bridg The work of widening the P street bridge has been commenced and the contractor has a big force of men at work. The con- tract for the improvement, according to plans prepared by the engineer department of the District government, was recently ewarded to B. McGuire, who received corde! week to proceed with the work. It is expected that the improvement will pe need of the completed in a few weeks. Th increased width of the bridge has been badly felt for some time, and tue widening will be greatly appreciated by those who use the structure. But one side of the bridge will be closed at a time, so as not to enurely impede traffic. Rev. Father:uckley Barie: Rey.

When Hecht & Co. began business Washington twenty-seven months ago the firm regarded themselves as fortunate in securing such a commodious store as that at 515 7th street, and little imagined that their trade would grow to such immense proportions that an extension would soon be necessary. The policy pursued of selling men’s and women’s clothing at re- duced pi nd giving purchasers the privilege of paying for goods on -asy terms of credit, ho r, soon showed that the system was being widely appreciated. Cus- tom continued to ineree t such a rate that the space in h strest was found to be entirely too small to accommo- date the big and diversified stock, and the firm realized that it had simply ou!grown its quarters. Quick to meet an emergen the firm perceived this one, and with char- acteristic enterprise secured the building occupied by John Rudden as a furnitur> store for several years, and will annex it to their present building. The Rudden building is an exact-counterpart of No. and was built jat ‘the same time, cons quently Hecht & Co. will double their sell- ing space. The:party wail on every tloor will be removed; the front will be entirely changed, new passenger and freight lifts will be added, amd a numb>r of novel mod- ern features introduced. It is also the in- tention to open new: departments, In order to reducé the present stock and make room for building op>rations the firm inaugurated a ae rebuilding sale this morn- ing, in which: prices were apparently slaughtered without'regard to actual value, and tl store has been crowded to its ca- pacity with eager purchas>rs. ‘The Hechts started business in Baltimore, on South Broadway, over a quarter of a century ago. Today they have five stores in Baltimore, in¢luding the largest clothing and furnishing store and the largest whole- sale carpet andsmatting business. The causes whichhave led to their suc- cess may be briefly stated to be k>sping .the largest, best and most diversified stock of goods, extensively advertising the in- ducements they hold out, selling at th> low- est possible cash prices and giving every customer the privilege of paying for pur- chasqs by the week or month when desir2d; thus, they claim, making buying easy, and particularly so to wage earners. ee Wite Pleads for Him.

Exercises of Class Dry by Students of Business Course. Friday night last the pupils of the Busi- ness High School and their friends were entertained by the members of the graduat- ing class. The assembly hall was artisti- cally decorated with the national colors and flags, intermingled with the school blue and orange: .. Mr. Ross L. Fryer, president of the class of "28, welcomed the guests and then an- nounced the numbers on the program. The class poem, written by Miss Ferneyhough and read by Miss Van Denbergh, was fol- lowed by the histery of the class. Mr. Pru- den, the historian, detailed the events of the year, chief among which were the suc- cessful Fifty-cent League's entertainment and the Company E banquet. Mr. Ford E. Young, in the oration which followed the history, eulogized the class, the school and the teachers. The prophet, Mr. Fryer. pre- dicted, among other things, one which his hearers were most happy to know—that in the future of the Business assembly hal! should have a new and well-tuned piano. The prophecy was followed by Miss Rich- ards’ address to the undergra which Mr. H. N. Couden of the class of replied. The music was furnished by Mr. Gauss and Miss MacDonald, who rendered Piano soles, and by Miss Meacham, who sang. Perhaps the most interesting part of the program was the last number. Mr. Fryer, for the class, presented to a few of the members honors which were said to have been earned in and out of school. Among these were a bob-tailed horse car to one of the girls who lives in Anacostia, a p Nceman's club to the first sergeant of Com- pany E and a jumping-jeck to the young lady who takes charge of the calisthenic records. Altogether it was a very enjoyable enter- tainment, heartily appreciated by the au- dience. —_> TO AID Ww OUNDED.
