Alleged Indifference of Police.

To the Editor Of The Evening STAR
In the last Saturdays issue OF The Star
yoUT correspondent signing himself Cit
izea' hints that the continued thefts of BIZ
cycles are l3rgely due TO apathy ard in
difference on the part of the police My
owa experience would certainly bear out
his statement. Early In January thief
appropriated my bicycle. with lamp and
bell attached, and since that time l have
lad e. second lamp and bell stolen. Short
u after the disappearance OF the last bell
1 was arrested by q member OF the bicycle
squad for rot having bell. When told
f.rr the reason he intinated that the theft
OF property was no affair OF his, and / was
deprived CT the usual collateral.
IL the police gave 10 tia capture of bi-
cycle thieves one-quarter OF the time that
they spend in enforcing unlmportant reg
Ulattons the wheelman's property would
be good deal more secure. I have the
hest OF reasons for saying that the only
active attempt that the police have made
toward recovering my stolen wheel was 20

the bicycle dealers be on the watch for

II Is SAID to be perfectly lovely piece
OF work, and there was the greatest curl
oslty to see how an American woman of
irish descent would sport the emblem OF
Dutch royalty. She confided to one of the
gentlemen at the reception that it had been
ner royal pleasure to wear her jeweled
head-gear but that some of her noble
ladies' in waiting had dissuaded her. Their
argument vas that 1t wasn't her reception
anyhow and that if she did her level best
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, with all their orders and decorations
their red, white and blue ribbons and their
diamond spinning wheels, wouldn't be
deuce high alongside of a queen. 1t was
but another case of noblesse oblige.

HER CROWN MISSING.
Queen Dempsey. However, Wore Her
Coronation Robes Last Night.

Miss Lavinia Dempsey. whose recent
coronation as queen of the Holland Danes
Of the New Netherlands set all New York
society by the ears, was a noticeable figure
at the reception of the d. A. r. last even
ing. The presence of real queen in a
gathering of the descendants of the men
who fought 20 the death against kingiy
rule was enough of itself to attract atten-
tion Had it not been her coronation gown
would have supplied the deficiency.
Queen Dempsey wore the stunning robes
that woke the echoes in the Waldorf-As-
tCria when she assumed the crown and
scepter of royalty. 1t Is of blue velvet with
applique work in yellow velvet on white
satin. Words fail to give an adequate idea
of its magnif1cence just as they are in
adequate to depict the queenly grace with
which she caught up her immense train on

Even founders have troubles of their

inside the d. A. r. councils that trouble

show itself in the report of the medal COM

THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION.
The House Began Debate on II and
the senate Followed with Lively
Tit Tint BespeaIs IA Hot Time
over the Measure.

Washington, Jan. 5.-Thc civil service
debate began in the house today, based
on the item in the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill for the
maintenance of the commission. 1t
promises to continue at least until the
end of this week with n possibility that
it may run longer. But it is generally
admitted on both sides that the appro-
pratiOn will stand, as the anti-civil ser
vice refOrmcrs do not seriously cOntem-
plate an attempt to strike it out. The
debate. therefore, is only preliminary.
The members of the house are divided
into three camps on this question. Those
who stand by the law, those who ad-
vocatc its entire repeal and those who
desire its modification. These divisions
were apparent in the debate today, the
nature of which was not rs stirring as
had been anticipated. Mcssrs. Moody
