BOOK AGENTS WOES.
Neale Tells tie Court How H,
Thinks Lee Swindled Him.

Oliver b. Lee, representing himself as
an agent for books, flatirons and general
household utensils, was placed on trial in
Judge Miller's court this afternoon ON the
charge of conspiracy.
Walter Neale, u general agent for the
Century Company and the Enc cyclopedia
Dictionary, was the complainant.
Neale alleged that Lee WAS one of sew
eral persons who had schemed to defraud
him out of several sets of valuable books.
Some time ago the defendant applied to
Neale for the soliciting agency Of his pub
locations, was given an outfit and began
canvassing.
He turned in orders for six sets of
books valued at $50 to SI2 and received
commissions thereon. After the books
were delivered but one payment OF 81 was
made, and none OF the purchasers could
afterward be found. Among them was a
man named Howard Willetts, who, with
several other purchasers, boarded at No.
o13 Thirteenth street
1t is alleged that Lee, after the books
had been delivered. pawned them, and
loan broker Burnstein SO testified. Lee
did not deny this portion Of the charge,
but swore that they belonged to a man
named Ray, who bad paid in full for Tie
books. None Of the other sets could be
found, and Mr.. Neale alleged that their
sale was not bona fide and merely a con-
spiracy to defraud him.
Judge Miller held Lee in $500 bonds to
await the action of the grand jury, in
default of which he was committed to

Men who attempt to violate the sanctity
of religion through such degrading prac-
tees, or who use the name of Deity so
lightly, deserve 10 be driven out of society
until they mend their ways. Their offense
is not against mankind; it is not an cr di-
nary crime. 1t is a sin against God, a
violation of His ordinances, and its cor

any ordinary process.

SAVED A MADMAN.
Polio eman Evans Quick Action
Rescues a Crazy Italian.

An unknown mailman was saved from
death at the lexington freight yards this
morning by Policeman G. a. Evans, OF
the Eighth precinct.
The man appears to be an Italian. about
twenty-three years Of age, and has net
spoken word since he was taken into
custody. His insanity, the police believe,
resulted from hunger and exposure.
When taken to the U street station the
unknown became frantic, and it required
several policemen to land him in cell.
Policeman Evans found MIN among the
shifting freight cars in the lexington yards.
He was dazed and had several narrow
escapes from death by the shifting cars.
A freight train was approaching when
he W as seized by the officer. The dem ented
fellow did not realize the danger, and
would no doubt have Leen killed had it not
been for the patrolman's timely arrival.

made to induce the man to give his name,
but he steadfastly refused to utter n

operation by a concerted movement among
the several churcn organizations This is
the most practical and sensible method Of
dealing with the question.
In considering the advisability of a re-
ligious raid on our alley siums the fact
should not be overlooked that 4 coIorcd

True Christians cannot plead infenorty
of race as an excuse for not entering this
work.
Four weeks of earnest, active revival
work in the alleys would practically rid
them of their worst elements. 1t would
not reclaim the most vicious characters,
but it would drive them away and give
the less sinful an. opportunity to lead
better lives. More than all this, il would
arouse public attention to the -eccssity
of exteIminatinE these pests by opening

accomplished, We would certainly have few

THEY HAVE BEEN SQUEEZED DRY.

The fight between the large and small
stockholders of the lexington and Belt
Line railway systems Is developing
some interesting facts. Those hi charge
of the consolidated system, which also in
cludes the Washington and Baltimore Boule-
ward line, may not be rugues and rascals,
but there is danger that somebody is about
to be swindled.
Both the lexington and Belt Line rail-
ways are located in thickly populated dis
tricts. Under good management and equip
ped with rapid transit systems. they could
be made to pay as large dividends as any
of the other of our street railways But
their managers prefer skychasing methods,
and instead of improving their roads and
making them profitable, an effort is being

CLEAN OUT THE ALLEY SLUMS.

The series of slum- alley exposes now he
ing published in The Times should arouse
an united effort to rid the city of these
haunts of vice. 1t is simply impossible 10
suppress crime as long as these places exist.
They are the sources of depravity which
supply nearly all OF our dangerous crimi-
nails, and the good people now attempting
to evangeliZe the surrounding country can
find muCii more fruitful field for their
operations right here in the National Capt.
tai.
Objection is made that the alley occu-
pants are mostly culored people, and they
should be purged by people of their own
race. 1t Is doubtless true that the better
class of colored people have made an
earnest attempt to reclaim these dens of
iniquity, but they lack both funds ard
