A FRESH START.
Both the Policy Men and the Policemen Are
Unusually Active.

Unusually Active.
The policy men seem TO have made fresh
start in business and the police have done
likewise. When Judge Hagner began sending
the writers TO Jail in addition. to imposing
heavy penalties in the nature of fines the
business decreased for awhile and but few
arrests were made. The writers who we're
under bail jumped out OF the city and caused
additional expense to the policy firms.
but most of them were recaptured and
brought back. During the past few days a
number OF persons have been arrested on
charges Of violating the law. The cases are
now triable in the Police Court. where the
writers are asking for jury trials in anticipa-
tion of severe penalties If convicted. The jury
will be provided during the early part of next
will be tried.
Yesterday morning in Georgetown at No. 1867
East Market space. Policeman Golfer raided a
policy shop and arrested Richard Cantor and

The place was fitted up in fine style and bust

Officer Golfer made a flank movement against

captured quantity of policy pamphernalia.
Bond was given for the appearance of the
men for trial next month. Two alleged policy

He Wants Money That Has Been Covered
Into the Policemzn's Fund.
Mr.. Charles C. Tucker, administrator Of the
estate Of David Patterson, has written the Com
missioners letter calling attention to the sum
of s656.10, which was discovered among the
effects of David Patterson. who died suddenly
in the Federal building in 1884. This money
he says, was held by the coroner for some time
and then turned over to the property clerk Of
the police department. Under very palpable
misconstruction of the law in such cases. he

has reported on the case. He states that no

New York Policemen Instructed as to Con-
duct in Labor Disputes.
New YORK, March 11.-Acting Police Super
intendent Byrnes summoned all the police cap
tains in the city police headquarters this morn
ing and gave them instructions relative to
protecting peaceable cloakmaker1 against
the union men and strikers. He said the strike
had assumed a serious aspect. The strikers
we're committing depredations and assaulting
men who had refused to join them and also as
saulting members of the latter's families. Nom
union closkmakers, he said, must be protected
against any interference on the part of the
strikers. Cloakmakers employed by firms in
the city who take work to their homes will be
protected by the police, and the captains were
told to afford these people all necessary protec-
ton.
Inspector Byrnes said any outbreak on the
part Of the strikers would be promptly checked.

Released on Bail.

In the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner, this
afternoon the case of Peter Mudd alias Joseph
H. Dunn, charged with larceny, second offense,
was brought to the attention of the court. Mr..
Cahill appeared for him and presented letter
of DIR. McWilliams (of the jaiD and DIR. Purvis
of Freedman's Hospital as to the mental condi-
ton of the prisoner. and he stated that arrange
ments were being made for his admission
to an asylum for treatment. The court
heard the statements Of the father
and cousin as to the drinking habits Of the
accused and the condition of his mind. Judge
Hagner said it was too serious question for
the court to pass upon as at present advised,
but in view Of the lapse of time and the state
ments made he would direct his release on
bonds of 800.
These were given. and Mr.. Cahill informed the
court that arrangements will be made for his
admission to Mt. Hope.

The only possible way of reducing the amount
Of these rents would be by disbanding part OF
the troops. The only troops that could be dis
banded without disrupting the regimental Or
ganizations, which are absolutely necessary for
instruction, are the seventh and eighth bat
talions, they being the only battalions Of sepa-
rate organizations.
The cost Of light, fuel, care and repairs of
armories is a subject Of estimates, based upon
the actual experience of the current year. 1t
Is proper to state in this connection that only
two janitors are paid out Of the public funds,
all OF the others being paid by the men volun-
tarily assessing themselves for that purpose.
APPROPRIATION WHOLLY INADEQUATE.
The appropriation made by the House bill for
rent including light, fuel and care Of armories,
is $12. 200. From the detailed statement have
made it will be seen that it is absolutely impos-
sible, by any contrivance or arrangement to
cover the actual cost with the appropriation a.
it stands. As the armories are absolutely
necessary for the instruction of the troops and
for the preservation and care of the public
property in their possession, deem 1t proper
to ask that the amount of money absolutely
necessary for their maintenance be provided by
wholly emitting other objects appropriated for,
il it cannot be otherwise provided.
It requires one day to 60 into camp, one day
to break camp and 1t is safe to count on II
least one stormy day out Of six, which would
leave only three days for drill and instruction.
There is vast amount of labor and large
amount Of expense incurred in going into
camp, which is exactly the same whether the
camp IL for one day or thirty days; the expense
OF maintaining camp for ten days is but very
little greater than maintaining il Tor six days.
The three days Of drill and instruction that can
be obtained in camp of six Gays is absolutely
not worth the labor and money it would cost
II IL far better to 60 into camp two weeks every
two years than 10 60 into camp nix days in each
war. that In Far beftar rcsults and mara IN,
struction can be obtained for very much Les
expenditure.
II it is not deemed possible OF proper to ap.
peopriaes the amounted money estimated and
necessary for an encampment this year, would
