COMPLAINS OF coLoRED PUPILS
Southwest Citizen Says They Treat
White Children Badly.

District Commissioner Ross recently re-
ceived letter from F. ]. Landvoight, of
No. 611 Eighth Street southwest, COM
planning of the conduct of the children at
tending the colored school at the cor
ner of Ninth and Z Streets southwest.
He complained that the conduct of the
scholars was brutal and that for some
time past it has been impossible for white
children to pass the corner of the school
without being assaulted by the colored
children, who throw stones al the white
children and beat them with sticks.
"A few days ago two white children"
says the letter of the complainant. re
turning home from school, We're attacked
by a crowd OF these colored pupils and
one of them was cut quite badly In the
head by stone Complaints have been
made several times te the teacher in
charge by the white residents of the
neighborhood OF the conduct of these chill
dren, but they seem to enjoy rather than
disapprove of it, as they have refused 10
take any action in the matter"
The complaint was referred to Superin-
tendent Cook, who has supervision over
the colored schools of the city. and re-
ferred to the principal of the school build
ing in question. who has reported that
there is no cause for complaint and that
the only trouble this year was caused by
an attempt on the part of the colored
boys to defend two colored girls whom
some white boys We're chasing.

Acid dyspepsia commonly called heart
hurn or sour stomach, is a form of indi-
cestion resulting from fermentation of the
food The stomach being too weak to
nronptly digest it. the food remains until
fermentation begins. filling the stomach
with gas and bitter. sour, burning taste
in the mouth is often present. This con-
dition soon becomes chronic. and being an
everyday occurrence is given but little
attention. Because dyspepsia is not i'm
mediately fatal. many people do nothing
for the trouble.
Within recent period remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure
dyspepsia and stomach troubles. 1t is
known as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
and is now becoming rapidly used and
prescribed as a radical cure for every
form of dyspepsia.

OVERHEAD WIRES.
Com mi ssiOaers Can Prescribe Penal
ty for Illegal Stringing.

Commissioners Can Prescribe PenHI-
ty for Illegal StringinG.
An opinion was yesterday rendered by
S. T. Thomas, the attorney for the Dis
trict stating that the amendment of the
police regulations proposed by Electrical
Engineer Allen to prevent the stringing
of Illegal wires is proper and that the
Commissioners have authority to provide
a penalty for its enforcement.
The matter of providing such penalty
was brought to the attention of the Com
missioners early this month in a letter
from Mr.. Allen. which stated that there is
no clause in the police regulations fixing
the penalty for the Illegal stringing of
overhead wires. He recommends. there
fore, that section of article 2 of the po-
lice regulations be modified TO read as
follows:
ANY person stringing additional tele
graph, telephone, messenger, signal or
electric lighting wires, or changing the
location of any pole or overhead electric
wire without permit as aforesaid, shall,
on conviction thereof in the Police Court
of the District of Columbia. be punished
by fine of not less than SO nor more
than s25 for each and every offense."
The Commissioners. after approving the
recommendation referred the suggestions
of the electrical engineer to the attorney,
who has rendered an opinion which says
in part:
THE act of Congress OF July 10. 1855.
prohibiting the further extension of over
head wires, provides no penalty for its
infraction. But Congress, by joint resolu-
ton approved February 26. 1892. to regu-
late licenses to proprietors of theaters in
the city of Washington, and for otherr
purposes. has conferred upon the Com
missioners very large power to make po-
lice regula tons. Section of that resolu-
tion provides that the Commissioners of
the District are authorized and empow-
cred to make and enforce all such reason
able and usual regulations as they may
deem necessary FOR the protection of
lives, limbs, health, comfort and quiet of
all persons, and the protection of all
property within the District.
Overhead wires are serious obstruc-
ton to firemen in putting out fires. Some
of them carry in themselves dangerous
and even deadly currents. and when there
are wires of different kinds for various
purposes one current is often found to in
terfere with the free use OF another. This
being so, overhead wires are dangerous
to life and limb, and are the subject of
police regulation. My opinion is that the
amendment proposed is proper one and
that the Commissioners have authority to
provide penalty for its enforcement"

CENTRAL FIRE ALARM STATION
The Commissioners Approve of Its
Establishment.

A central alarm station will be estab-
lfshed by the Instantaneous Fire Alarm
Company, in accordance with the recon-
mendation of Gen. W. w. Dudley. the at
torney for the company, as result of
the numerous false alarms which have
been sent in recently and the difficulties
encountered by the fire department in To-
eating fires reported by the instantaneous
system. The cause of the trouble appears
to have been the absence of any indica-
tors in the District alarm boxes, to which
these instantaneous alarms are sent.
The Commissioners have given the
question considerable attention lately,
and at their request an investigation was
made by Electrical Engineer Allen which
resulted in the approval of the plan sug-
gested by Gen. Dudley. Mr.. Allen re-
ported that the highest number of alarms
turned in to any one District alarm box
was ten. He said that the auxiliary boxes
are frequently located at remote dis
tances from the District boxes, and when
an alarm is sent in over them the various
fire companies were often puzzled as to
the location of the fire. 1t was first sug-
nunciators be placed in the District boxes
and connected with the auxiliary boxes to
remedy the evil, but this was found to be
impracticable.
The company then suggested that IL the
Commissioners would grant them rea-
sonable length of time in which to re-
move their attachments they would pro-
vide n central office equipment and ar
range to have the alarms received di-
rectly through the auxiliary boxes in
their own office. from which point they
would be forwarded to fire alarm head
quarters. To do this work considerable
overhead wire stretching would be neces-
sary, and to do this would require an
opinion from the attorney for the Com
missioners on the matter. as that official
had on a previous occasion decided that
the Instantaneous Fire Alarm Company
was, in certain sense a part of the Dis
trict fire alarm service. In his ruling
handed to the Commissioners yesterday,
Mr.. Thomas states as follows:
''The only ground for holding. in 1897,
that the Instantaneous Fire Alarm Com
pany had the right to maintain its over
head wires was that IT'S service was a

and as the District was entitled to main
tain poles and overhead wires in that ser

change, extend its overhead wire service.
