Although the daily register of crimes in this city ts growing larger each day, 4 ds impossible to obtain any informa- ton as to the cause of the outbreak. Polle¢ Commissioner McAdoo is out of ‘town and in his absence no one at Police Headquarters will talk about the sub- Ject, “Commiesioner McAdoo is the only ™man to talk about that,” said Deputy Police Commissioner McAvoy, when questioned yesterday concerning what ‘the police were doing to prevent crimes ef violence. Commissioner McAdoo's man Eggers, @nd a staff of nearly two score of po- Moemen were busy yesterday watching Several suspected gambling houses throughout the city. The squad of po- Meemen detailed to rope in the curb brokers in Broad street were idly gaz- Ing at the tall bulldings in that section of the olty to-day. And so on—but ¢rimes of violence are still continued. het many crimes are committed which are peyer reported is shown by the following letter: Mo the Editor of The Evening World: The following 1s a true story of what happened in Greater New York on the ‘might of July 4: man with his wife and children boarded a Fourteenth street car at sAvenue A. The conductor collected the ‘fares, but a few minutes afterward de- elded that some of the smaller children, for whom he had not collected fares, were large enough to be paid for. Thereupon the conductor notified the man that more fare was needed; the man refused to pay, and words be- “came hotter hotter, The conductor | Was about to strike the man when the wife jnterfered, so the conductor fav- her with ‘a heavy biow Instead. ‘Bome, twelve wideawake pickpockets, geging the commotion, boarded the car, ‘and, on the pretext of defending the woman, grabbed the conductor, while one of them picked his pocket and suc- ceeded in getting his pocketbook, whicn | was, well filled. ‘Then they al} suddenly left'the car, The conductor jumped oft of bis car and cnased the thief, and suc- ceeded tn catching him, calling, in vain for a policeman. ‘he rest of the pick- pockets surrounded their friend and Almost killed the conductor, who was forced to release the thief. f There was a great noise and scream- ing by women in the car throughout it aif but not a single policeman put in an appearance, and a witness of the affair Walked for blocks without meeting one.

Harver Bookor, a merchant of Hamp- ton, Va. near Old Point Comfort, who is now a guest at the Hotel Imperial, was dragged from a cab under the very shadows of the hotel by two negroes early to-day, who later were assisted by the negro cabman, beaten, run over by the cab wheels and then robbed. This robbery is only another of the series of crimes that mark the Tendo loin every night. Hardly a night pasues that there 1s not a shooting, stabbing, murder ot robbery to record, and the criminal class that infest the district seem to grow bolder. Mr, Booker, who had been to dinner with some friends who met him here to transact a business deal, started for the Imperial shortly after midnight.
