BADGES TAKEN AWAY
PATROLMEN HARRIS AND WARD
PUBLICLY DEGRADED.
Found Drunk While on Duty by SUI
Badges Taken from Them.

Edward Harris and Nathan Ward. col
ored patrolmen, were publicly deprived of
their badges yesterday afternoon by Super
intendent Powell and Captain Campbell.
The officers were detailed in the morning
to remain at the Condo fire until relieved.
About noon Mr.. Powell drove down to the
fire. Near the corner of Capitol avenue and
Washington street he was approached by a
citizen, who informed him that two of the
officers were roaring drunk, and one had
led the other west on Washington street a
few minutes previously. The Superintend-
ent sought Captain Campbell. The latter
had heard the same report, and said Harris
and Ward had left the scene of the fire
without permission. The Superintendent
and the Captain started west, and found
the two officers on Chesapeake street. Har-
rs was supporting Ward. Captain Camp
bell was directed to remove their badges.
Harris objected, and said IN all his fifteen
years OF police duty he had never heard of
such an outrage Ward offered no expla-
nation. The unfortunate officers were sent
home. 1t is said that in working at the fire
they became chilled and frost bitten, and
they drank from a bottle, with the hope
that the liquor would warm them. 1t did.

H NICHOLSON BILL
TWO REPORTS WILL BE MADE ny
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE TO-DAY.
ciary Committee-Objections to
Some OF It's Features.

The much-talked-about Nicholson bill was
to have been acted upon by the House COM
mittee on temperance yesterday afternoon.
and a direct vote taken on reporting 1T fav-
orably or recommending it for indefinite
p-ostponement. A majority of the commit
tee, however, held that it would be best
to send it to the committee on judiciary, as
there were a few constitutional points in it
to be considered. The majority, headed by
Mr.. Nicholson, who is chairman of the COM
mittee. determined to submit a minority re-
port recommending that the bill pass. 1t is
expected that these two reports viii come
before the House this morning, when a call
is made for bills from the committees.
Since the bill has been SO widely adver-
tised by the church meetings held over the
State the legislators have given more Sc
rious attention to it's provisions. The senti-
ment is strong in the General Assembly
that some measure should be passed to en-
able the authorities to better enforce the
liquor laws that are now on the statute

bill emplat The feature of it pro-
hlDrting the placing OF chairs or tables in a
saloon Is one that is opposed. The OBJ

sold. but it is insisted that there is a large

superintendent Powell and Judge Stubs
were before the committee before a vote
was taken on a report, and they made ar
guments in behalf of legislation that would
tend to the better enforcement of the LIQUOR
laws. Judge Stubs was willing ito lend his
approval to the Nicholson bill il the COM
mittee thought it a better measure than
that which he prepared, and which was in
troGlced by Mr.. Van Arsdel. Only eight
members Of the committee were present,
and four of these favored referring the bill
to the judiciary committee, with instruc-
tons to report back to the temperance COM
mittee not later than Thursday. AS Mr..
Nicholson was chairman, he did not vote,
and thus a majority favored the reference,
although he could have tied the matter had
he chosen to do SO. One of the Democratic
members of the m favors the bill
and the other opposes it. Many of the
members of the House have had petitions
sent them urging the passage of the bill,
and many of these will be presented this
morning.

MIR. POWELL ADVOCATES 1T.

Believes the Nicholson RiIl Is the So
luton to the yVfne-Room Evil.
Il think if the members of the Legislature
could be made to realize one principal feat
ure of the Nicholson bill, now before the
House, they would not hesitate to vote for
it," said Superintendent Powell to a Journal
reporter yesterday.
What is the most important feature in
your mind?' asked the reporter.
The section which specifies that liquor
shall be sold in but one room. and Ii
censes shall be issued for that room only.
I would have made the provision even
stronger. compelling a specification of the
room given in the license: but the section
as 1t is is a vast Improvement over the
present law. Now, the purpose of this sec
the wine room-the worst feature of the
saloon business. l believe that the better
class of saloon men--those who endeavOr to
conduct their business as decently as posi-
bic, and with some respect for the law
are opposed to the wine rooms. TIL wine
rooms are the recruiting stations for the
dlsreputable houses. and a great majority
of fallen women can attribute their condi-
ton to them. They are a disgrace to any
city, and l do not think the members of
the Legislature can be in sympathy with
them. A decent man can have respect for
a saloon keeper and a saloon keeper can be
decent, but no decent man can have any
respect for a man who takes young girls
to Wine rooms or for the man who allows
this to be done. This particular feature of
the Nicholson bill also does away with the
INSTRUMENTATION business where a restau-
rant is conducted for the purpose of vioiat-
ing the saloon laws. 1t would prevent Sa-
loon keepers living in the rear of saloons
and then turning their homes into saloons
at unlawful hours. The saloon men have alb
solutely refused to obey the present law,
and / am in favor of having a law which
they will have to respect"

MONEY SHARKS WAYS
BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE VET
ERANS LEAGUE.
VIII Secure Evidence and Ask Grand
Jury to Indict Them for Collect
ing Usurious Interest.

The Veteran League. organized to protect
the interests of old soldiers, is going to
call the attention of the federal grand jury
to several firms of local money sharks who
loan old soldiers money with the pension
papers as security ana then charge them
an exorbitant rate for the money before
they will return the papers. A member of
the league said yesterday that a half dozen
cases had come to light recently, illustrat-
ing the questionable way in which some of
these firms transact business. For a time it
seemed that they conducted business upon a
more honorable basis, but it now seems
that the old-time tactics have been re-
sumed. The Veteran League members,
with whom the reported talked, could not
give the names of the persons who have
been robbed by excessive interest rates.
but he said that several members of the
league are investigating the matter, and
they may have something definite for the
public within a few days. They propose to
go before the grand jury with the evidence
they obtain.
One case cited Is that of an old colored
woman, the widow of a soldier. She need
ed some money at the beginning of the win
ter and borrowed SIS from a Delaware
street firm, giving ner pension papers as
security. A few days ago she vent to the
office of the sharks, prepared to return the
borrowed money and pay a reasonable in
terest. The money lender demanded SAG,
making an interest for the few months of
$31. The old woman could not pay the
amount and she left the Office IN tears. A
member of the league heard of the case
and several veterans went in a body to the
money lenders office. They demanded an
immediate return of the papers threatening
arrest, and the firm wisely returned them.
II is said that scores of people are feeced
quarterly in the same manner.
Monday a pensioner called at the pension
office and made the explanation that a PEN
sion was due him, but a money lender had
his papers, which he refused to give up
until the interest of about S12 had been
paid. The attention of the league members
during each pay day. was caned to the mat
ter and they hunted up the money lender.
He smiled and replied that business is
business, and L propose to cling TO those
papers until that interest is paid One of
the old soldier policemen seized the festive
shark by the collar and replied:
Hand out those papers or we will march
you before Commissioner Van Buren,"
The pension papers were handed over.
The pensioncr paid the amount of his loan
and a reasonable interest, but he declined
to pay the 80 per cent. asked. and the
members of the league sustained him in
cid soldiers, hundreds of people who oc-
casionally are forced to borrow small sums,
know the methods of the money sharks.
and nine out of ten who have oeen caught
by them would delight to see them brought
to justice.
