A Regulation Forbidding Children to St.
Rides on the Cars.

Regulation Forbidding Children to Steal
Rides on the Cars.
Several days ago, printed in The STAR.
Superintendent Hurt of the Washington and
Georgetown Railroad Company wrote letter
to the Commissioners requesting that the at
torney for the District be called upon for an
opinion as to the powers of the Commissioners
to make police regulation for the protection
of children by preventing them from playing
on the steps and platforms of street cars and
other vehicles in the public streets.
The Commissioners accordingly referred the
matter to the attorney, aud today received an
opinion from the assistant attorney for the Dis
trict, Mr.. S. T. Thomas. He says that the tenth
clause of the act of Congress approved January
26, 1897, GA stat, 1851 authorizes the Commits
sioners to make such regulations in reference
to 1.-The movements of vehicles in the public
streets and avenues for the preservation of order
and protection of life and limb" and il seemed
to him that 50 valuable right as the security
OF life, constituting il does the condition
precedent to the enjoyment of all other rights
must have been in the mind of Congress when
the act was passed. Mr.. Thomas thinks there
can be nc doubt that the intention of Congress
was to confer upon the Commissioners power
to make police regulations for the security of
life and limb.
In conclusion Mr.. Thomas SAYS that he il nj
the opinion that the Commissioners NAV male
police regulation for the prevention Of ACCT
dents to children and incloses the following
draft for adoption:
PROPOSED REGULATION.
No minor child within this District NOT h.
ing passenger shall be allowed upon the ul.t.
form or steps Of any railroad car drawn NV

child who shall permit such child to ride or
play upon the steps or platform OF any such

Warrant for the Son of the Ex- Minister TO
Hayti. =
NEW York, June 25.-A warrant has bee n
issued by the Brooklyn commissioners of chari-
ties for the arrest of Ralph Langston, said
to be son of the famous colored orator,
ex-Congressman John M. Iangston of Vir-
ginia, on the complaint of Miss Helen Graf,
a white girl, who charges him with wronging
her under promise of marriage. Miss Graft
says she did not know at the time of her en-
gagement that Langston had negro blood in his
veins.
Ralph Langston is well known here. He is
about thirty years old and is known among
his friends as sporting man. He pays con-
siderable attention to the races and race horses,
so his friends say. and has frequently sent
race tips to them from New York.
His friends, SO far could be ascertained
this afternoon. know nothing about the affair
alleged against him. 1t will be remembered
that he got into trouble here about four years
ago and shot a man near Howard University.
