acimenf of Such a Statute.
MAJOR MOoRE'S OPINION
District commissioners VIII Give
Due Consideration TO the Clergy

Relieves the Law Would Be Un-
popular in THIS city.

The Commissioners have received a com

mendation that a eurfew law be enacted
for the District Of Columbia. Accompany
Ing the letter was a copy of an ordinance

The commissioners referred the matter
to Chief OF Police Moore, with the re-
quest that he present. as soon as possible.
his opinion as TO the practicability OF
such :, law in this city.
Major Moore delivered his opinion on the
subject yesterday. IL was TO the efrecB
that the law could not well be enforced
here for u variety OF reasons, which are
specified In his communication TO the
Commissioners. He says, first, that the
time is not ripe for such a radical change
as the adoption of the law would en-
| tail. He says that IL would, in his opinion,
be resented as an infringement on the
personal liberty of individuals. He cites
| the opposition to the ordnance OF pro-
hhiting uewsboys from crying their papers
| on Sunday in support OF this view
Furthermore, he says that it would be a
! positive hardship fer hundreds OF children
to be kept in the house during the heated
! period or the year, when they are ac-
| customed 20 gather in the public parks
| of the city Also that there are many
| children under the age of fifteen years
who are without parents or guardians, and
who are compelled to earn their owa
living. Major Moore closes his opinion
| with the statement that much more M shu
| he urged against The report along the same
lines.
In view OF tue unfavorable report Of
Major Moore, the Commissioners stated that
| they wonld express no opinion as to the
| matter, but would give IL their close at
tention. Accompanying Mr.. Bradford's S let
| ter are extracts from letters written by
| mayors OF various cities where the law
! prevails, praising the oper alton or the law,
| Some Of those cited are Lincoln, Neb
| Omaha, Seb.; st. Joseph, Mo-; Lawrence
and Kansas City, Kan. Fully 200 Others
| are also given. In each OF these cities II
is claimed that there has been very
| material decrease In crime and misde-
meanors among tile youth.
An abstract or the ordinance submitted
| will show its purposes. 1t prohibits per
| sons under fifteen years OF age from
being on the streets, alleys. or public
places in the city at night after O'Clock
| from March 1 to August 81, and iron
September 1 TO last day OF February
after 8 o'clock, unless such person is ac-
companied by parent, guardian or Other
person having legal custody OF such minor
or is iu the performance OF some crrtn5
or duty directed by such parent or guar
dian,or whose employment makes II neces

1t was decided that while certain phases

member should examine into those subjects
on his own account, so that when the
matter came before the full committee
it could ne more readily discussed and
disposed Of.
The subcommttees will go to work at
once OF the subjects assigned them, and
much of the time their sittings will be
held here, where data and statistics are

A ROBBERY In DAYLIGHT
Negro Violently Takes From Mrs.
McCloskey Her Handbag,
The HighwayInan Commits the Act
ut the I.ntrnnce TO the Soldiers
Home and Escapes.

Another bold case OF assault and high;
way robbery was committed In daylight
yesterday morning by negro whose name
is not known. The victim was Mrs Nc
CIoskey, an elderly lady, who lives in the
county beyond the Catholic University.
Mrs. McCloskey had left her home alone
about clock in the morning, Intending
to call upon a friend and come down town
to do some trading. She carried upon her
arm a small hand bag, which contained
her purse and several other smaller and
less valuable articles. In ord er TO lessen
the distance which she had to go, Mrs.
McCloskey started TO take a short cut
through the Soldiers Home grounds and
went along Lincoln avenue.
Just as she reached the turnstiIe at the
entrance 70 the grounds she was confronted
by a burly negro. She paid little atten-
ton to him at first, even though he looked
suspicious, and seemed to be watching to
see if there was any one else in the
vicinity. After satisfying himself that
no one was near the negro appr cached the
lady just as she was about TO enter the
grounds and seized her violently by the
arm.
At the same time he grasped the bag
and attempted to snatch it from the
woman's hand. Mrs. McCloskey, however
cIung bravely to her possessions, and cried
loudly for help
The place ia somewhat isolated, aud 10
one came 10 her rescue.

powered Mrs. McCloskey, and she was
forced 10 yield her hold upon the bag, and
tie negro ran and was soon lost to sight
in the woods about the home.
Mrs. McCl3skey was terribly frighten et
and overcome from the effects of the as
sault and robbery, but after few mGmengs
managed tocsntinue her Journey, and final
ly met Policeman Strohman, to whom she
reported the matter. The officer at ono
notified No. station, and a report OF the
robbery was sent out.
Mrs McCloSkey was able to give a
good description OF the man, which the
police have, and hope to capture the
thief.
Her handbag contained several dollarl
aud some papers and other articles.

ASKED TOMOVE ELSEWHERE
People ON Thirteenth Street South
Requested to Leave.
Authorities Anxious TO Make the
Street Reputable and Measures
Taken TO That End,

The authorities are endea voring to de-
wise plan TO clear Thirteenth street south
Of the Avenue of the bawdy houses anu
convert the thoroughfare into handsome
and respectable boulevard extending from
Pennsylvania avenue south To the Agri-
cultural Department.
The first important step in this matter
was taken yesterday when a lieutenant
of the police, acting under instructions of
the authorities, personally called upon the
keeper OF each house on both sides of Thir-
teenth street in the Division and Informed
them Of the proposition.
The matter has been under consid Grafton
by the authorities for some time past for
the purpose of adopting the most feasi-
BILE means TO accomplish the removal of
these people. A police lieuten ant was
called into consultation and the question
Of clearing Thirteenth street of its OBJ
iectIouahla element was discuss ed at
length. The lieutenant was instructed to
visit the proprietors Of the Thirteenth
street resorts and suggest TO them In a
friendly way the propriety of moving off
the street. His mission was performed
TO the letter yesterday.
The object which 1t is proposed to nc
complisb, as stated by an official to q
Times reporter lastnight is not to inaugur ate
q crusade against the inmates of the Di-
vision, but rather to induce them to re-
treat further away from the public eye.
The authorities realize IL such resorts
must exist. that 1t is far better that the
territory which they occupy should be
limited as much as possible, and remote
from residences.
As at present tenanted, the tboroughfare
is abandoned by people who would othe:
wise pass through it at great convenience
in going 10 ana from Pennsylvania avenue
and the Agr cultural Department and
grounds az well as to South Washington.
Thirteenth street is the only one paved
with asphalt west of Four-and -a-half street,
which leads from the Avenue to the Jsslrd.
Some OF the most notorious resorts are
located on this street, and their keepers
are opposed to moving. The idea of the
authorities is not to force them to retire,
but to counsel their removal, and bring
about the purpose in quiet manner The
rents along there are very high, and
property owners, some of them keepers Of
the houses, object. There was much ex-
citement along the street yesterday, occas-
toned by the lieutenant's visit, and one
woman was thrown into hySteria and
another tainted.

No negotiations were opened, and no ulti-
