round and besmear the side walk in front OF
the white house from accosting every one
who bears the faintesS appearance of being a

These dirty loafors represent themselves as

the public buildings, when they know they
are not allowed in them. They have been
known to prevent strangers from entering
the buildings after taking them all round the
same by falsely stating that they are closed to
visitors. They are positive nuisance to

they should be arrested as vagrants. Will
