WOMEN ARRESTED N TIE TENDERLOIN.
CAPTAIN PRICES ORDERS TO HIS MEN-PoLIcE.
MEN ARE SILENT.

Ono OF the first things that Captain Price did
upon taking command OF the Tenderlon Precinct
on Tuesday night was TO order Policemen Don
nell and Ryan change their citizens clothes for
uniforms. Captain Sheehan had detailed these two
men In plain clothes to regulate the conduct OF the
dlsorlerly women OF the precinct and arrest such
as violated the law.
Last night. when Captain Price appeared AT tho
station he gave an o Ter which upset his plans OF
the night before. First. he ordered O'Donnen and
Ryan to their plain clothes and gave them in
structions to he even more strict than they had
been for Captain shcehan To the other policemen
who were turning out the Captain gave specific
and explicit orders TO arrest every woman thar

There were more than the usual number OF
women on the street. and the result was A whole

by II oc.ock tho number was fifteen. They were
still coming In at that hour. one OF the features
Of Captain Prices accession is the change I'm ths

A RUSSIAN MISUNDERSTANDING.

PosTMAsTER-GENERAL SMITHS INTERVIEW WITH
NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT
Washington. July T.-The attention OF Post
master-General Smith was called to-day to a Lon
don dispatch in which II said that q CORE
spondent OF a Russian paper remarked 10 him that
'the rumor OF Anglo-American understanding
had offended old friends" and that the Post
master General made the following reply: I'VE are
sure that old friends Will not betray the United
States. just as will not betray them. rs for
England. the majority here share your sentiments
toward her"
The Postmaster General said that the CORE
spondent had completely misunderstood what he
said. The both spoke and understood Eng
lsh poorly and this doubtless explains his entire
misconception OF what was said. The Postmaster
General said that the United States desired the
friendship of Russia. and was friendly 10 that
country but he did not go into any further dis
cusson Of the question.
