WIDE RANGE OF FUNCTIONS.
German Police Not Confined to the
Ordinary Euty of Cnmstmh.iarN.

Prince Bismarck once said in the reich
stag: We Germans fear God ana nothing
else in the world" An English writer W
ii. Dawson, quoting this remark suggests
that he might truthfIlly have said: .'Sad
and the policeman" To foreigner no fea-
ture Of German life Is more strlkir~ than
the prominence and almost unlimited au-
thority of the police. says the Youths Com
panson. Many Of its functions are such as
in England or the United States would b,
!ntrustei only to a court Of law. and what
seems almost equally strange. the greater
part of these functions are exercised quite
independently of the Local goye-nm Mt The
minuteness and thoroughnCss OF its work
are constant surprise 10 the newcomer
The policeman not only preserves order in
the streets. but exercises "a far-going au-
thority' in private houses. AS the writer
already quoted says:
He undertakes the nightly locking Of
your street door at n sufficiently carly hour
He sees that you have your chimney reyrl-
larly cleaned AT stated times he exam
ines your stove. ami while he is about 4,
he may inspect few other matters of do
mestic economy-yoUr outer LOCKS your
pumping handles. your ash pit doors Prob
ably, If ii be summer. he VIII also take a
stroll round the fruit garden AMI spend a
PRINTABLE half hour in 4 search For cater
pillars"
one feature OF his activity Will Strike
many readers with favor. In some places
singing and piano playing with open win
dowS are forbidden, and i; is a common
house regulation in large towns that pianos
shall be closed punctualiy 1t 10 O'clock in
the evening"
With all the rest. the police look sharply
after all sellers Of food and medicine. A
milkman, FOR instance, is driving rapidly
along the street. a policeman haIts him
and on the spot makes an inspection of
his wares. If anything wrong is discoy-
cred the cans are forthwith emptied into the
gutter, and the whole affair Is published
In the newspapers. There is no respect of
persons. and the rule is. prompt and
thorough" In the official columns Of the
newspapers notices like this are common;
THE preparation which is sold by Blank
Co, - street, Berlin tall names being
given, as the Universal Cough Mixture
consists OF lhere follows u list of the In
greiients). The preparation Is sold at two
shillings and eight-pence a bottle, but the
real cost with bottle, is one-half pence"
A police force like this must be "a ter
ror TO evil doers," but probably IL would
not be popular In America

HUNGRY AND MISERABLE.
1ndustrials Camps COmmissary in an
Empty Condition.

The nine hundred and odd men who are
camped over in Virginia near Rosslyn I'M
der the name of industrals cleaned out
their commissary department last night
and when they went to sleep not norsel
OF FOOD was left in their possession. Up to
a week or ten days ago, when there were
but moderate number of individuals in
the ercampment, sufficient food was Sc
cured in the way Of cor tributions and from
berry picking and other sources to provide
precarious, but sufficient, subsistence for
the men. The increase in numbers, how
ever, has made 1t impossible for these
sources of supply 20 meet the demand, and
stdrVatlo stares the industrials in the
lace. They DO not propose to submit to
TINS condition of affairs, however. Not
withstanding the decision of the police
thoritieS that the officers must arrest every
man found begging in the District of CO.
lumbia, the hungry horde across the river
asserts that ii Will not stop calling upon the
citizens of Washington for food. 1t was
announced last n6ht that from 80 to 200
of the industrials would be sent over to
this side of the river today to canvass the
city for provisions, and that this course
would be persisted in every day as long as
the necessity for IL continued. The worst
part of the situation is that hundreds of
other misguided men are on their way to
JOIN the deplorabe crowd already al Ross
lyn: The farmers in that section of Vir-
are apprehensve that the steady increase
or suffering among the industrials will lead
them to acts of violence. Very few of the
men are sufficiently clothed, ana the pres
ent cold and rainy weather is not calculat-
ed to inspire peaceful thoughts within their
breasts. They are all very angry at the
arrest of their comrades last week, and are
not at all gentle in their mutterings against
the Washington authorities for imposing on
what they claim to be their constitutional
rights. There was experimenting at Ross
iyn yesterday evening in which several of
the leaders engaged, and at night Gen"
Kelley left camp for California, with a
promise of working for the cause and an
assurance that he would send two or three
car loads of provisions to the camp within
as many weeks. James u. GIN of No. 1902
pennsylvania avenue has taken issue with
the claims made by Coxey Browne Kelley,
Frye ana the other leaders of the so-calied
industrials, and has challenged them to q
public debate, to take place next Sunday
afterI con at Typographical Temple, on q
street
Out at the CoXcy camp. near Bladens-
burg, TO more recruits are being received,
and tho men are in about as miserable con-
dttion as those across the river. 1t is be-
lieved that the governor of Maryland will
take steps this week in compliance with
the petition of farmers and other residents
of Prince Georges county, looking toward
the removal Of CoXey'S cohorts from the
state.

Where Is the Mammoth Stone.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Some seventy years ago there was 10 bc
seen near Greenleafs Point. Washington.
q large block of stone about four feet In
length. estimated TO weigh nearly thr.o
thousand pounds. upon which was carve,
the semblence of human foot about TON
riches IN length. while at the edge of tho
same block was the heel of another foot
the distance from heel to heel Of the two
tracks being about twenty two inches
This block seems to have been at tho
time one of the curiosites of WASHINGTON
and among the archives of the old Coi,,r,
bian Institute is ,olored drawing by Ar.
Henry Meigs Of New York. presented to the
institute IN 1921. with this inscription:
Singular block of gneiss at Commodore
RO 'gers' place, near GTeenleafs Point.

I: would be interesting TO know whether
this stone Is still in existence. and send
you this memorandum hoping that some Of
the older citizens OF Washington may be
able to say whether the block still exists.

The Moorish Sultan's Pity.

FROM the London Globe.
The following dramatic incidc1lts given

rough and ready methods of justice in
Morocco. year ago Jew. named Abet-
tan, presented a letter TO the authorities at
Mogador, purporting to come from the sui
tan. instructing them to deliver to the
bearer some house property. The letter was
forged, but Abettan alleged that he was
quite innocent Of any fraudulent intention.
and that he had innocently received the
letter from a friend at the Shereefian
Court The man, however, was cast into
prison, and the wife made repeated efforts
To procure his release without avail She
repeatedly threw herself before the sultan
begging his mercy in behalf Of her hus-
and. When more than usually entreated
his majesty said kindly to her: Il cannot
release your husband. Let him be tried by
whatever law you please. Mahometan, Jew
ish or Christian. and l am certain that he

Seeing that the sultan was about to leave
Morocco city she made one last effort
She bound the arms of her little boy behind
his back, and as his ma jesty was one day
going TO prayer on horseback she suddenly
came before him. placed the innocent babe
before his horse, and cried: IF your
majesty Will not release my husband then
trample over this baby, for there will be no
one to provide for II and keep it." At the
same time she cried bitterly, and implored
his majesty's mercy. The sultan's sym

miration for the devoted wife, who showed
such perseverance and such readiness of
resource. by which she has succeeded in
delivering her husband from a lifelong i'm

The Norman Vote.

The popuiists are anticipating a great
deal Of help from the women. because of
the adoption of a woman suffrage plank by
the state convention. At the opening meet
ings Of the campaign, which will be held in
each county seat town in the state August
1. the state central committee has under
taken to provide a man and woman ST eak-
er. The country women are expected to
conduct political pcnics through the months
Of July. August and September, to which
ali of the men will be invited to listen to
their arguments and eat spring chicken
and other delicaces of the Kansas farm
In this way, 1t is believed by he cam

The character of campaign to be waged
for the state ticket viii undoubtedly make
q number of changes in congressional dis
tricts. The sixth. represented by Baker,
is one of the strongest populist districts in
the state. Judge \. II. Ellis, the republi-
can nominee. Is holding rousing meetings.
The same is true of Hurd, the democratic
candidate. Many republicans are confident
that Ellis will be elected. The democrats
of Jerry Simpsons district have about
agreed to nominate a straight democrat
against him. If they do and force the fight
Chester 1. Long. the republican candidate
will win. In the fourth Curtis cannot be
beaten. A democrat will be pitted against
