2 L i i} STREET PROHIBITED Police Will Start Clean-Up of All “Curbstone Johnnies.” Ninth street, the mecca of apparent vagrants, loafers and other persons of questionable reputations, will be cleaned of this undesirable element, if possible, under existing statutes, it was announced by Capt. W. E. Brown of the first precinct. Orders already have been issued to the policemen to keep the thorough- fare free from the crowds of men and boys, which dot its corners from Pennsylvania avenue to New York avenue, obstructing pedestrian traffic and making offensive remarks to passing women. Merchants Make Protest. This action has been taken as the result of a protest lodged against the conditions by the Ninth Street Busi- ness Men's Association at its organiza- tion meeting. The association subse- quently discussed plans for initiating a crusade against the loafers which, it avowed, had given the street the name of the “Bowery,” instead of Washing- ton's “Broadway,” which was at one time its popular cognomen. Capt. Brown said that he pro- poses to detail a squad of plain clothes men on 9th street for the sole purpose of breaking up the assem- blies of the “curbstone Johnnies.” which the loafers are termed. He pointed out, however. that the present Taws are not sufficiently drastic to ob- tain the desired results. and advocated a more stringent statute. Better Laws Urged. “Give us effective unlawful assem- bly and vagrancy laws,” said Cap Brown, “and have the courts inter- pret them correctly, and we will"bring in the loafers and the persons having no visible means of support, not only on 9th street, but all over the city. ~ . Under the present laws, Capt. Brown | said, it requires a great deal of evidence to convict persons who con- gregate on. street corners. He indi- cated that it was not as hard to con- vict them on a disorderly conduct charge when they made remarks to women, but stated that the men of the type who habituate 9th street are al- k careful to avoid doing so in the presence of a policeman. Therefore, he contends that the only method pos- sible of rounding up the men who in- sult the women is to detail a spe- cial squad of officers in civilian clothes 1o beats on the thoroughfare. This he intends to do, but expressed the opin- fon that the men would soon recog- nize these officers and he would be forced to constantly make changes in the men on the beat. First Arrest. The first arrest in the crusade to suppress the loafers and mashers on the streets was made last night, when Policeman Schotter of the first pre- cinct arrested Lawrence Grogan, twenty-four years old, a salesman. Grogan was arraigned before Judge Hardison in the United States branch of Police Court today, and pleaded not suilty to two separate charges of as- sault. His trial was set for Septem- ber 9. According to the police, Grogan ac- ed two gzirls who were on their y home from work at the bureau of engraving and printing. The girls are on the night shift at the bureau. They save their names as Mary Fletcher, eighteen years old, 745 17th street southeast, and Anna Briscoe, nineteen years old, 709 C street northeast. Since the inception of the cam against the “curbstone Johnnies,” the police report that conditions have greatly improved not only on 9th Street, but Pennsylvania avenue and ! ¥ street, and other streets where wom- en are accosted by strange men.

Detalls of the trip to be taken tomorrow by the Kiwanis Club of Washington to Hagerstown, Md., where it will be the guest of the Kiwanis Club of that city, were given at the weekly meeting of the organi- zation at the Washington Hotel yes- terday afternoon. Dr. George Baker. chairman of the committee arrangements, an- nounced that 315* persons, members and their families. would make the trip, and that eighty-seven automo- biles would convey the party to the Maryland town. Headed by President Claude Wood- ward in the pilot car, the large cara- van will leave Vermont avenue and Thomas circle tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock sharp. The route to be taken was purposely withheld from members of the club in order that all would be compelled to. follow the pilot car. thereby continuing an un- broken line of vehicles from Wash- ington to Hagerstown. The party will return to the city Sunday. Elaborate preparations have been completed by the Hagerstown Ki- wanians for the entertainment of {their fellow club members from here, and it is predicted that the inter- city meeting will be one of the most enjoyables ever held.
