Good Digestion PROTECTION OF CHILDREN Commissioners Likely to Approve Bill Now Before Congress. Provides That Men and Women Pris- oners Shall Be Separated—Trials of Young People. There Is little, if any, doubt of a favor- able report by the District Commissioners upon Senate bill 3664, to regulate the trans- portation of prisoners, to provide a separate court for children, and for other purposes. This bill, ‘introduced several days ago by Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, provides that from and after its approval women and men con- victed in the Police or Criminal Courts of the District, and sentenced to imprisonment in the workhouse or jail, or held fer trial, examination or as witnesses in either the workhouse or Jail, shall be conveyed to and from the courts and to and from po- lice stations’ in separate conveyances, in such manner that the sexes shall be at all times kept separate and apart. The bill further provides that the trials of children shall be held and determined by the courts at suitable times, separate and apart from the trial of other cases. The Commissioners will, if the measure becomes: law, be authorized and directed to provide a suitable place of detention, convenient to the courts, for the reception and detention of all children under sixteen years of age, arrested by the police, or held as witnesses, or held pending investigation, examination, or otherwise, and all such children held or detained prior to adjudication of cases in which they may be invotved shall be held at the place so provided. For carrying out the provisions of the bill, it is proposed to appropriate the sum of $5,000. Conditions Prevatling Here. The bill has been referred to the Com- misstoners, and Commissioner Wight, who has Imm2diate supervision of police mat- ters, is conducting an investigation of the conditions prevailing here. He is in favor of the enactment of some such law, but it is understood that he will recommend to his associates that the proposed law be amend:d so as to provide for a house of detention, wherein can be placed not only children, but also women, especially women not of the habitual criminal or dissolute class. Mr. Wight hopes that his associates will agree with him in this matter, and that they will b2 provided by Congress at this session with sufficient funds with which to carry this plan into execution. While he believes that the judges and officials of the courts and the two prisons have been and are doing the very best they can in the case of youthful and female prisoners, as he is confident it is also true of the police de- partment, yet he appreciates the fact that the prevailing conditions ar2 not only not what they should not be, but that they are unworthy of the capital of the nation. Fund Insuffictent. Mr. Wight believes that the bill intro- duced by Senator McMillan should be amended so as to provide that all prisoners, men and boys, as w2ll as women and girls, should be classed as to age, sex, degree of criminality, and confined so as to prevent their humiliation, degradation or ruin. He doubts, however, whether the sum of $5,000 which the bill proposes to provid: for car- rying into execution its provisions would sufficient, and it is understood that he il recommend that at least $8,000 be pro- vided. ——— THE COURTS.

COMPANIES SHOULD AGREE. tice Barnard'’s Conclusion: Pending Railway Litigati: Justice Barnard, in Equity Court No. 2, to- day announced his ruling in the case of the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric Railway Company against the Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad Company. The object of the suit was to enjoin the defendant from occupying, using and running its cars on or over the com- Plainant’s railroad, tracks and construction on 14th street between E street north and B street south, and from using, interfering with or disturbing the complainant's con- duits, conductor bars and electric appli- ances installed on 14th street, and from’ introducing into the property mentioned any electric current having a higher volt- age than 250 volts, It was further asked that should the court decide that the defendant has the right, however, to construct and operate ita road ‘on i4th street by means of an under- ground electric system that the defendant required to construct at its own cost on 14th street between the its mentioned and h track double conduits with separate conductor bars and electrical equipment, so that the complainant and the defendant may each have an independent eet of slot rails, conduits, conductor bars +H ee eaiatetontestetentectedententetentetentontetntontetetoateneedeetondentec dealer ° ° Eimbtoidery Silks. | Filo Roman and Twisted Silks that will WASH— best® makes. 35c. a dozen skeins.

On the whole case, said Justice Barnard, the court is inclined to hold that the least objectionable pian for both companies to occupy the same roadway and rails is for the defendant to be allowed the use of the condult and underground construction as now existing, and that the right to have such use is contemplated by a fair inter- pretation of the various provisions of acts of Congress ihyolved. 2 “Inasmuch, however, as the companies have not thus far been able to agree upon the terms of such joint occupancy and use,” the judge sets forth, “which ought to be settled before possession is taken, I am dis- posed to restrain the defendant company from turning on an electrical current or running its cars over and thus taking pos- session of the portion of the complainant's road, as described, until the terms for such possession and use shall have been agreed upon or determined under the pro- visions of the law by proper proceedings in this court. "The parties being now advised of the conclusions reached by the court may have time to arrange terms by mutual agree- ment before any formal decree is signed if they so desire.” —_._—_- Fraternity Celebrates Anniversary.

Newton, chairman of the committee on insurance of the Wash- ‘mgton board of trade, calling attention to a provision in a bill recently passed -by the House, permitting any ingurance com- pany having @ capital of $250,000 authorized “by act of Congress,” or which may here- after be authorized by Congress, to do a bonding business. Mr. Newton expressed the enon that such legislation should be ame! so that such privilege should in- clude all companies organized under the general incorporation law, and that such. companies should be allowed to increase their capital stock to $250,000. SLASHED THE SEAT: Unknown Vandals Despicable Work -in Three Cars. Some unknown vandal with destructive tendencies. cut and slashed the seat cover- ings in two of the City and Suburban cars which run out to Berwyn, and one of the cars on the North Capitol street branch. A comparison of reports on the depredations made by the conductors of the cars showed that the same individual did the cutting. Each conductor reported having had a pa: senger on the trip upon which the seats were injured who was described as being a heavily built man with mixed gray hair and brown beard, who wore a pink shirt with a four-in-hand tie containing a dia- mond pin; that he wore a dark overcoat and light Fedora hat. The police and street car officials are on the lookout for the party. ——__. Army Orders.
