VANDALISM AT THE CAPITOL-MALICIoUs
PERSONS DEFACISG THE SENATE WING
The officers in charge OF the Senate wing
oi the capitol arc much troubled by the
evidence that some malicious person or per-
sons have deliberately gone to work to de-
face that wing. A short time ago nearly 4
Gallon OF oil, which must have been brought
INTO the building for the purpose, was
spilled on one OF the inner flights of marble
stairs. Tuesday it was discovered that a
large quantity OF blue ink had been poured
over the outer baluStrade OF the corridor
connecting the Senate wing with the main
building. The ink was poured in two or
three places. and splashed about so as to do
as much injury as possible. 1t cannot be
removed without cutting into the marble.
So many people are now at the capitol every
day. the number OF visitors averaging more
than a thousand, that it is impossible to keep
watch Of them all. 1t may be said, further
more, that the management Of this body o,
police is not efficient. The lieutenant de-
votes his time to the sale OF cake and lemon
ade in the dome, and the organization mlghl
as we'll be abolished as remain in its present
condition. Ii the efforts to deface the build
ing continue it is probable that large re-
ward will be offered for the detection OF the
