The Police Looking After Strcet-Cor-

ner Rowdies and Peanut Vendors.
The police are paving particular attention to
the crowds of young men and boys who con-
gregate on street corners and make night
hideous to many persons who retire at an
early hour. Lately several such gangs have
been broken up by the officers, who will con
tinue the work until there are fewer disorderly
gatherings on the corners. In the winter such
crowds are not so numerous, but as the
spring approaches the warmer weather
brings them out of doors. Such gath
erings cause many complaints to be made
to police headquarters, but the compliments
are not often willing to appear as witnesses, as
the disorderly boys are sons of their neigh
bors. The officers are after such violators of
the law. They are also attending to the pea
nut and banana vendors along the line OF eth
street and Pennsylvania avenue. These
dealers are required to keep moving, except
when making sales. The members of the sew
eral street assemblies will hereafter be ex-
pected to do the same, that is to ''move on"
