PoLICEMEN WERE LATE.

Negro Highway men Had Almost Killed
Courageous Gentleman.
In the small hours of Thursday morning
a gentleman who is a clerk in the Commits
sioners' office was going hon.e, and when
nearing the corner OF Third Ssd streets
northwest his ears were assaiied by shouts
and groans.
Fastening around the corner he came
upon a large crowd Of negroes who wcse
making strenuous efforts to get at a fash
i0nably dressed white man. who evi-
IDENTIFY from general appearance had just
come from the Sixth street depot. The
latter, although unarmed, was making an
uphill fight against great odds. and by
making use OF his satchel as a weapon
was keeping his assailants at bay. Fooled
IN their attempts, one burly ruffian drew
murderous-looking knife and advanced
upon his victim.
The man screamed out in horror and
the clerk, who tells OF the incident, hast
ened 10 his help, expecting every moment
10 see the appraised blade descend and be
buried in the unprotected mans body.
Help, police, murder!'' rang out on
the cir, and in few moments four police
Officers came running up. AS the clerk
came up the patrolmen's footsteps were
heard, and the highwaymen and would
be murderers hastened off and Were soon
lost in the darkness
The official in relating the occurrence
stated that as be comes home late at night
and early in the morning, be has often
seen cases where the watohman's help
was needed, but no bluecoat could be
found. He says that he has often thought
the several patrolmen who have beats in
the neigbborhood meet and neglect their
duties. The occurrence of Thursday morn
ing tended to confirm him in this opinion,
and he thinks that the sooner the matter
is looked into the better for the safety of
life and property in the neighborhood of
Third and @ streets northwest.

why Napoleon Was Angry and Re

As 20 Major Poppleton's letter, dated
March 10, 1917, it may be stated that some
little sensation had recently been occasioned
IN the island by the reputed losing" Of
Napoleon by that officer wheuaccompaDyin
him on one OF his daily rides, says the Gen
tleman E Magazine. o.
Alluding TO this circumstance Major P.
writes:

RnaCOStia Railroad Must Answer
Judge Coles Rule.
WHY IT IS NOT RUNNING
The Company Must Explain Its Fail
ure TO Operate the Entire Line.
Their Amended Bul-Rumor That
Horses Are to Be Sent Into Country.

The rumor was current in Anacostia Ia st
evening that President Griswold had been
negotiating for pasturage for the company's
horses, with the evident intention Of aband-
onlng any attempt TO resume operations.
According TO the opinions of leading citi-
zens last night, the recent developments
have served TO strengthen rather than di-
minish public interest in the cause of the
strikers, and many who We're quite con-
seryative heretofore, and some who Were
fayorably disposed towards the company,
are now outSpoken in their sympathy with
the strikers
MEETING THIS EVENING.
Preparations for the big mass meeting
to be held this evening are about completed.
Orators of both sexes will be present from
Washington and Anacostia and there viii
be o general djscussion of the issue.
Should there be any who wish to represent
the opposition to organized labor, an Op-
portunity Will be given for an expression Of
their views.
The Railway Protective Union held q
meeting last night at BunCh's Hail, on
Eighth street northwest, President Law
renee presiding. The strike was topic OF
discussion aud the outlook for success was
declared to be excellent. Auapportionment
was made of the money which is 10 be paid
to the Anacostia drivers today, il lieu of
the wages that were voluntarily rehDquished
when they threw the cars from the track on
Missouri avenue.
ISSUED THE ORDER
Judge Cole yesterday morning issued an
order, made returnable this morning, against
the Anacostia Street Railway Company,
compelling it to show cause why it is not
operating it's entire line and running cars
| as prescribed by its charter
Attorneys RalstOn & Siddons were given
leave the day before to so amend their bill
as TO show that the company was operating
part of its line. and they yesterday con-
vinCad the court that the cars had been
running over the line between AnaCOstia
and the Navy Yard.
Mr. james s. Edwards, who represented
the railroad company, opposed the issuance
of the writ on the ground that there was
nothing in the act of incorporation by
which the court could compel the resump-
ton of traffic.
Judge Cole considered that Mr.. Peck, the
petitioner, had made a sufficient showing
to call for an answer from the company at
10 O'Clock this morning.
