Whether Peter Eye, a olored man who is known to be beyond his 103d year, merely walked away last night from 325 Linwood place southwest, or whether some misfortune has befallen the frail old man was unknown today as police began a search of hospitals for the missing patriarch. Little is known of the colored man in | the neighborhood where h> has lived for | several years past. Lucille Porter, a young colored woman, who gave him | a home several years ago, told police | she last saw Eye late yesterday after- noon. At the time he gave no indica- | tion that he intended to stay away and none of his things was missing from | the home. The Porter woman informed police that Eye came to her door several years ago, saying he had no home, and she | and her husband have looked after him | since. The old man is called “Uncle Peter” in the neighborhood and often passers- by would stop before his door for a chat. He rarely discussed his past, how- ever, although they say he referred | gmudly on occasions to the fact that e was a carriage driver for an aristo- | cratic Southern family. _Yesterday a neighbor of Eye's saw | him passing and asked him to come in for a cup of coffee.

Asked for the reason of this unseasonable attire, he said he “was going out for a walk,” and felt the chilly air warranted a coat. “Uncle Peter” finished his cup of cof- fee and went off up the street, passing from the sight of his neighbor. Police of the fourth precinct broad- | cast a lookout for the missing man this morning, after Lucille Porter had tele- | phoned a report to them. She asked that any one having information about Eye communicate with her. X Requirements Governing |s- suance of Permit Are Explained. - ‘The superintendent of police is re- quired tc issue an amusement permit even though 75 per cent of the resi- dents on the confronting side of a square object to its location, according to an_opinion submitted to the Dis- trict Commissioners today by Francis H. Stephens, acting corporation counsel. ‘The ruling was sought by Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, as a result of a recent dispute over the granting of a permit to a carnival com- pany. Stephens held that as a prerequisite to the issuance of amusement permits the regulations require that consents | be first obtained of three-fourths of the | resident housekeepers in the block on | which the amusement is to be located | as well as 75 per cent of those «n the | confroriting block, and, in addition, the consents of three-fourths of the proper- | ty owners in these areas. “It will be perceived,” Stephens said, “that this requirement necessitates the obtaining of two majorities—that is, of "CLAFLIN | Optician—Optometrist 922 14th St. N.W.
