To The Editor Of The Evening Star:

To EIIV I-III'VT Ul 7 Ne EvcHlny Star:
Permit me, Though your columns. to
protest against a most annoying species of
hoOIlumi>n which is becoming more and
more prevalent in our theaters This is
habit of u certain portion of the audience
most in evidence in the gallery-to call
out an actor an indefinite number of times;
continuing violent applause. after he has
come before the curtain three or four times
with the apparent intention of turning him
10 ricicule. The annoyance TO the decent
and well-behavcd portion Of the audience
Is very great. and measures should be
taken by the management TO prevent it.

NATTER OF PENSIONS.
Comm ssiOncrs Urge Provision for
Eircmcn md Policemen.

The District Commi ssio ners, as was re-
ported in The Star at the time. recently
transmitted to the chairmen of the two
District committees in Congress the draft
of a bill providing for the pcnsionins of
members of the District police and fire
departments. Commissioner Wight who has
immediate charge of the two departments,
has written the chairmen Of the two com
mittees relative to the matter, explain
Ing the necessity for the proposed legis-
lation and submitting interesting data in
support thereof.
Mr.. Wight explained that the reason for
establishing the various sums named in
the bill for the police department is that
it provides for the members of this de-
partment when incapacitated by age or
injuries received in the service at a rate
proporuonate 10 the salaries which they
are now receiving, based upon "a similar
action regarding the officers of the army.
which is three-fourths OF their active serv-
Ice pay, with the single exception that in
the case OF the police department the pro-
portion Is much lower.
Referring to the fire department, Mr..
wight said the relative proportion of pen
sions and salaries rec,ived is higher than
FOR the police department. for the reason
that the scale of wages paid to the mem
beis OF the District fire department Is much
lower than it should be. and the risk they
run and the liability Of being killed or dis
abled in the service is very much greater
ANY deficiency i'll the amount required
to meet the monthly pay rolls of the pen
Sloners of the police and fire departments
is now made up from fines collected in the
Police Court, and the income from this
source varies as the number of cases
brought to the attention of the court in
crease5 or diminishes, and If the fines I'M
posed and collected are the minimum the
amount available for any deficiency might
be insufficient to meet it.
Il beg to express the hope.' said Mr.
wight. in conclusion, that this bill may
meet with the approval of your committee
and be passed at this session of Congress-
as II will enable us, especially In connec-
tion with the police department, to retire
number Of men who should be retired
because of age and disability thereby
enabling us to have greater efficiency in
the department by substituting in their
places younger and more active men"
