Editor Sar:-It is no great wonder that
crimes are daily perpetrated in our city, as the
number Of peace guardians is inadequate TO
the demand, owing to law Withholding police
commissions from all persons who have not
served in the army or navy-which the citizens
deem unjust. know many Congressman who
would offer bill for its repeal, but for the fear
that it would be used as political whip.
heard high official remark that he wished to
God it was repealed; and added that ii would
give them chance to make better selections,
and for the reason that the soldiers OF the war
are too old, and few good men joined the army
in time of peace. In my neighborhood police
man is never seen more than once month, and
a gang of loaferS, both white and black, gather
on the block at twilight, and remain sometimes
until midnight. They divert their time insult
ing our wives and daughters, soaring children,
and in many other ways annoying us. The
police say they cannot catch them; but the facts
are that they cannot spare much time as their
beats are SO large that they cannot get over
more than One-half the ground in the time they
are out. l know that they do their best, but
there is limit to a mans capacities. BY all
means let us have that and any other law re-
pealed which works to our harm.

REQUEST FOR POLICE PROTECTION FOR EAST WASH
INGT0N,
A committee of citizens Of East Washington
appointed at meeting held at the corner OF 9TH
street east and Maryland avenue, Saturday
night, have addressed a communication to the
District commissioners requesting that po-
the protection Of that community. They state
that during the past two years there have been
four rapeS or young women residing In that i'm
mediate neighbood, and only in one case have the
officers of the law been able to pursue to con-
yiction and punishment the guilty party. The
last outrage was most brutal one upon an
honest young woman while on her way to
citizens whom they represent are unanimous in
the conviction that these frequent acts of vio-
lence ore entirely due to The utter want of a re.
qulsite police force, and that the continued
neglect OF the government to heed the
often expressed wishes OF this community
respecting this pressing want amounts
to promise OF immunity from punishment by
the government to the criminal classes, and
tempts violent and evil-disposed persons to
leave their hauntS in other sections of the CITY
to prey on that community They further state
that they do not believe such results are intend
ed; that the citizens of northeast Washington
are as law-abiding as they are intelligent; and
that, as in the past, they will continue
their power to preserve its sanctity; but
as the law appears present only when its Of
ncers are present to enforce it, and should the
present state of things continue, it may devolve
upon the citizens TO fall back on their natural
rights OF self defence. To this the Commission
erS reply that they have asked Congress for au-
th0rity to increase the police force, and in the
meantime all the police protection possible to
afford shall be given that section OF the city.
