THREE MYSTERIOUS COPS.
Their Mission to the Treasury Depart
ment-Excited Spectators.

At about 10 O'Clock this morning three
sturdy policemen jumped from an east-bound
F-stree. car at the corner Of 14th street and
walked rapidly down toward the Treasury
building. Their haste, as they tramped
swiftly along in the rain in their rubber coats,
attracted the attention Of some small boys on
the street, who thought they had caught scent
OF a sensation. True to their instincts they
began trotting along behind tho officers, who
kept on in an intent, purposeful way that
with the help of the boys, soon drew upon
them the notice of at least half q hundred
people who happened to be passing.
THE MYSTERY DEEpENs
Straight along street they went, one a few
steps behind the other two until they reached
the corner Of 18th street, when they separated,
one going up to the northeast entrance of the
Treasury and other two to the eastern express
door. This was done in quiet but apparently
concerted manner that only increased tho
interest of the crowd that had by this time
gathered on the corner across the street Some
one whispered that Treasury clerk had been
caught stealing some of Uncle Sans sheckels
and few venturesome individuals crossed the
street after the officers to see the
FINALE OF THE DRAMA.
The three men met in the basement at the
corner and without hesitation went straight
upstairs 10 the first floor, drawing behind them
a fringe of heads in doorways watching their
progress. They evidently know where they
wanted to go and were sure Of their ground
for they never hesItated as they stalked along
the corridor and turned into the great cash
room. There, under the fire of half hundred
eager eyes, they presented themselves at the
window Of one Of the tellers and drew their pay
for July.

living diagonally across from a corner saloon
was ~ much interested in whether or not the
saloon should be there as was the resident on
the same square with the saloon.
now TO REACH THE CLUBS
Mr.. Robert said no did not think that the clubs
should Be included within the provisions Of
this bill. He thought the clubs would have to
be reached by special bill. The sale Of liquor
wa: but one Of the violations of the law by
clubs, and they required special treatment
The bill he favored was the Commissioner
bill (lG045), which he thought was better
than the Douglass bill. He disapproved Of
section in the Douglass bill, providing that:
III any policeman or other peace ofhcer OF the
District Of Columbia shall willfully neglect or
refuse to perform any duty required by laws
regulating the sale OF liquors, or license there
Tor. in the District, he shall be deemed guilty
OF malfeasance in Office, and shall be thereafter
disqualified from holding the same, or any
other office Of trust or profit under the govern
ment OF said District for the next ensuing Eve
years after his conviction"
THE COMMISSIONERS THE REsPoNsIBLx PAarIxs
He thought this would have the contrary
effect from that purpose. The Commissioners
were the responsible parties and they should
see that the police do their duty. Az to the
difference between the state of affairs now and
as they would be under the proposed law he
said that they could now refuse a license, but
they could not be sure that the sale of liquor
was stopped there; but with the new law they
could stop at least 80 per cent of the violation.

BETTER THAN THE PRESENT LAW.
Ex-Representative Price. prohibitionist, said
that he thought this bill was better than
the present law, and that the fact that the
liquor men did not want it was enough TO make
him favor it.
Mr.. schade remarked that Iowa appeared to
be coming down from prohibition to high Ii
cense.
COL ROBERT SAYS THE COMMISSIONERS NEED
MORE PowEE.
Commissioner Robert who arrived during
the discussion, followed Mr.. Price He held
that the Commissioners did not now have the
power they needed to enforce the law. re-
duction Of the number Of licensed saloons the
prohibition of the sale ofliquor in the District
would not diminish the sale and use Of liquor
Mr.. Price asked with some show of indigna-
ton IL he meant to shy there was not power
here to enforce the Law.
Col Robert replied that there was not the
power to enforce the law. He then went on to
| show how difficult il was to convict any one of
violation Of the liquor Law. he said il was
practically impossible to enforce the present
law. The Commissioners had no power to close
bar rooms. He therefore favored this bill, be-
cause IL made the possession Of the liquor and
| the bar room equipment sufficient for convic-
ton. The restriction Of the number OF saloons,
the increase Of the license foe or Q severe PEN
atty would accomplish nothing without the
| provision.
SIMPLIFY THE GETTING OF EVIDENCE.
The Commissioner bill (House bill No. 10,
045) simplihed the matter Of getting evidence,
and that was the principal feature. The pro-
vision for the approval Of two-thirds OF the
residents and property owners on the square he
thought very desirable. He would prefer to
| have provision for tho consent Of such pro-
portion OF all the people residing within 900
feet OF the saloon. He thought that the man

Commissary Sergeant E. H. Nsumeyer on Sat-
urday night to honor him for the kindly atten-
ton no has bestowed upon the brigade during
the encampment Light refreshments were
served and very pleasant hour was spent.
The countersigns for the camp wero of
revolutionary and rebellious origin. They
were Bunker HILL" "Antietam," "valley
Forge" Gettysburg" Saratoga" Fair
Oaks" and Sort Fisher"
The second regiment brought home with II
its mascot--Col. Clay's pretty little cocker
spaniel .'Stoop." The command is very proud
Of .Stoop" because the little thing never
growls at a man in uniform, but is ready to
tear the vitals out Of anything In civilian COS
tume.
Capt John Miller, the veteran commander
OF company D, first battalion, was acting
major OF the first during the greater portion Of
the encampment The onerous duties Of the
position, which Maj Dalton could not possibly
attend TO, have been looked after in excep-
tional style. Officers and men are more than
pleased with the captains activity.
