THE POLICE FORCE.
Changes That VIII Be Made Under the Last
Appropriation Act,

Changes That VIII Be Made Under the Last
Appropriation Act.
Two weeks from now the new appropriation
bill goes into effect, and under its provisions
there will be some changes made in the police
force. The bill provides for net increase of
ten men, five of each class. The ten appoint
ments will be made in the first or SIS class
and there will be five promotions from the first
to the second class. These promotions will be
made according to merit so far as possible.
Another provision in the bill gives the force
an increase OF eight mounted men, and for
these positions as well as for the promotions
there will be many candidates who must neces-
sarily be from the ranks.
The change that will attract the most atten-
ton is that in the detective corps. where an
addition of four men is provided for. There
are now eight men on the list as detectives and
the act provides for twelve
For these positions there are already manv
applicants, including citizens of Washington
who have no army or navy record. but unless
the decision of the court holding such appoint
ments to be valid is definitely determined upon
by the LIST of July the appointment of citizens
will probably not take place.
This Is question that is Just now interesting
the District Commissioners and the police
officials, and if the controller decides not to
take an appeal the appointment of citizens is
likely to be made.
If. however, that official should take the
case to the higher courts, as is the present i'm
preston, the matter Of appointing citizens will
be further delayed.
In connection with the changes in the de-
Is to be retired on $50 per month and his re-
tlrement will make room for another officer
who would like to be a detective and it would
also make vacancy on the force.

SEVERAL LIQUOR CASES.
Judge Miller DispOses of Them and Lectures
Those Under Charge.

Judge Miller DispOses of Them and Lectures
Those Under Charge.
In Judge Miller's branch of the Police Court
today some attention was given to liquor cases
involving alleged violations of the liquor law
within the one-mile limit of Soldiers Home
In one case Mrs. Mary Schweitzer was the
defendant, and the charge against her was
keeping an unlicensed bar. Her place is cor
ner of It'll and streets, where her husband
conducted business for many years. He died
few months ago and the widow has still con-
tinued to conduct the business.
Lawyer Cahill was her counsel and Mr.. Du-
mont was the prosecuting officer. The latter
wanted to do only what was just in the matter,
and with his consent and ut his suggestion the
court accepted plea of guilty and suspended
sentence.
In doing SO the judge told her that she would
have to quit the business within the mile
limit; that there was no power on earth that
could grant her license, and If she did get a
license from any source it would not be worth
the paper it was written upon.
Lawyer Oscar Nauck appeared as counsel in
the next case. William G.. Brown was the
defendant. He was charged with doing BUSH
ness on Brightwood avenue just north of the
city limits
Mr.. Lrown stated that he had closed his
place and given up the business. Under these
conditions the court adopted the same course
taken in the other case.
Il suppose we will now have a breastwork of
saloons just outside the limit remarked Judge
Miller. This is a wise law" he added, for the
benefit Of those charged, land it will be rigidly
enforced. Its enactment was the county's
gain and the citys loss
care You ready for trial?'' asked the court of
Lawyer shillington, who appeared in Patrick
Sheehy's case
Il am always ready" was the counsel's re-
Spouse.
Sheehy's place is also in the mile limit. but
the witnesses called could not tell that Mr..
Sheehy even had ice water in his place, and
the charge was dismissed.

1t was found that two candidates held the same
rank and under the rules they would have been
entitled to appointment. But the admission of
both would increase the number to forty-six,
and as the class is limited to forty-five it was
necessary for the board of trustees to consider
the matter. This was done and IN considera-
ton OF the peculiar circumstances it was con-
cluded to admit both of the candidates. The
class next year will therefore number forty
six.

Lewis Barber Killed by Falling From an
Elevator I'm the Cochran Building.

Lewis Barber Killed by Falling From an
Elevator in the Cochran Building.
Lewis Barber, a colored laborer who has been
employed by Contractor Frank L. Harvey for
the past ten years, left his home in Goat alley
this morning and went to work on the Coch-
ran Hotel building, in course of erection. corner
Of 14th and X streets northwest, and an hour
later his family received the sad intelligence
that he was dead.
HIS death was the result Of an accident at the
building where he was at work, nj, Judging
from the statements made by the men about
the building, the accident was the result of
Barbers own carelessness. The breaking of
the elevator guy ropes was what caused the &C
cident and BARRIERS jumping upon the ele-
vator caused the break.
The building is seven stories high and the
elevator runs from the bottom to the top of the
structure. 1t is used for hauling brick and
mortar. When the elevator is ready to descend
from the top of the building bell is rung to
signal the engineer. II there is nothing but
building material on the elevator one pull Of
the bell is the signal but if there il passenger
on it the bell Is pulled several times in order
This time only one signal was given and after
the elevator had started Barber jumped three
or four feet to the elevator.
HE FELL NINETY FEET.
The weight of BARRIERS body tilted the ele-
vator and one end of it struck against piece
of scantling. Barber did not have hold of the
cross piece, and there being no protection
around the elevator he fell from it and was
precipitated distance of more than ninety feet
to the basement of the structure.
Barber fell on his head and received only a
slight external bruise, but his skull was crushed
When picked up he was unconscious, although
ms heart was still beating. He was examined
by physician and was soon afterward re-
moved to the Emergency Hospital in the first
precinct patrol wagon, but when the hospital
was reached Barber was dead. His body was
then removed to the morgue and the coroner
notified.
