THE POLICE HAMPERED.
They Claim That Crooks Arrested
on Suspicion Are Released.

The release of two wclI-known crooks
and all around thieves in the police court
by Judge KnmbaIl last week is causing the
police to believe that their efforts to clear
the city OF this class of Objectionable citi-
zens during Inauguration week will bear
little fruit. Not long ago the order went
forth from Major Moore, chief of the po-
lice department, to pick up all men with
past records OF crime, and thought to be
still engaged in the same pursuit. and
charge them as suspicious characters, in
order that they might be placed out OF the
way until the great rush which will come
this week is over. In accordance with
this, the detective force and the privates
have been given instructions to be espe-
cially on the lookout and bring in such
past offenders
Last Thursday Detective Sutton, Of the
First precinct, arrested joe Smith,
notorious local crook, and on the follow in q
morning brought him into police court,
where he was released from custody 10y
Judge kimball, Notwithstanding that Smith
had admitted TO Detective Sutton that
hehad made arrangements bring to Wash
ington six professional pickpockets and
sneak thieves 10 operate during inaugural
week. Smith confessed to the officer of
having engaged a suite at a resort on
Missouri avenue where the crooks Were to
be Quartered, while he was 10 act as a
guide and point out TO his pals the local
detectives, in order that they might be
avoided.
His record is q bad one, he having 'tdone
time for several terms He was once
arrested with Curly Harris for snatch
inga IocketbOok from lady in Philadelphia
and also served term i'll the New Jersey
penitentiary. Gully Harris was one of
the men he intended 10 bring to Washing
ton. joe was also implicated with
Happy jack Lawson, who is now sery-
ing a five years term for administering
knockout drops to Farmer Merrigan last
summer In spite of his bad record and the
efforts of the police to put him cut of the
way at this time, he was given his liberty
on Friday.
Another crook. VIII Mann, was also re-
leased IN the police court Saturday. He
was charged by Policeman Fathers with
being a suspicious character. Mann has
also done time his last offense being
the stealing Of a watch from the dress
ing-room of an actor in Kernan's Theater,
for which he was sent to jail. The po-
lice say that they are largely handicapped
in their efforts to prevent thieving by
having such offenders at large. Notwith-
standing these releases. however, the pO-
lice say they will continue to carry out
Major Moore's orders, and arrest all sus-
piciOuS characters.

the second day, about g. o'clock, when
rain was falling heavily, the roads turn

lieyed. ten or twelve miles from their
destination, complication of misfortunes
overlook Freds bicycle. Suddenly it ap-
peared to do and suffer everything which
bicvcles should not. The result was that
Fred was thrown into a ditch, and the
machine itself settled down on the road
in pathetic and obvious helplessness. Mar

it into the hall, and, after an examination
of it, looked up smiling as he observed:

He seemed pleased to see her. Not sur

amusement. which she had dreamed; but
simple qualification inspired the smile
which lit up his handsome features as
he ushered her into the hall. The house
was delightfully."- warm and dry. Marcia
sighed with contentment.

gratefully. with a glance at his face.

peating, as soon as possible" Then he
added: Meanwhile you must change

"Oh; but I've no luggage"
That's all right" he assured her,

satisfaction just vaguely touched with dis-

cost of romance. Well, the world is what

True, they were not widows, but even
in India, Mrs Nettleton understood, suttee
was abolished.
Her brother-in-law Fred was an eX-
ception To him she was indebted for
such gayoty as fell to her lot, and for her
occasional escapes from an atmosphere
too reminiscent OF Mr.. Nettleton. Fred
had been very fond Of his brother, but
took leave to think that the excellent
man, who mad striven to promote his
wife's pleasure while he lived, would
not grudge her little recreation after
his death. He did not agree with the
idea that by dying We acquire, or In

Gus habit OF reproachful selfishneSs. Al
this time he had expressed his opinion
so forcibly as to extort from his mother,
with whom Marcia and he had been
staying in the country, the concession
that there was nothing very shocking
in a two or three days bicycle excursion;
he and Marcia would look after one an

Mrs. Nettleton, being of a cheerful dis
position, limited her case against life to a
mild complaint that il was not as amusing
as it might be: it was not tragedy to
her, but comedy; only the comedy was
apt 10 flag. Even this murmur she uttered
shaniefacedly, since She was aware that
she herself had rather handicapped life by
marrying Mr.. Nettleten. Yet, though Mr..
Nettleton had been dead now three years,
life had not improved much. 1t was
