Granville Carter, colored, charged with having threatened the life of Annie Frazier, was arrested Friday night by Policeman O’Brien. He had a razor blade in his pocket, and a charge of concealed we7.pons was preferred against him. For ca-rying the weapon Judge Kimball sentenced him to four months in jail. His personal bonds were taken in the threats case. Prohibition of Fertilizing Factories. Captain C: H. Davis, superintendent of the naval observatory, recently suggested to the Commissioners of the District that House bill 8696, to prohibit bone or fertiliz- ing factories being operated in the District, be amended so as to prohibit slaughter houses to be operated within the corporate limits of the city. The matter was referred to the health officer, who has reported-that while the desirability of the proposed amendment is unquestionable, a question arises as to whether it is desirable to seek legislation which will limit slaughter houses to particular localities without seek- ing at the same time other much needed legislation relative to the conduct of the business. The preparation of such iene: lation, says the health officer, will neces- sarily occupy considerable time and delay consideration of the pending measure. In- cidentally, he says. the question arises whether the Commissioners have not the right to prohibit or to regulate slaughter houses, and, possibly, even bone and fertil- izer factories, under authority already conferred upon them by Congress. He recommends that the questions be referred to the attorney for the District. sd Will Entertain Its Friends.
