RESULT OF A RAID,
Two Men Charged With Maintaining
Unlicensed Bar.

Lieut.. John c. Daley of the ninth pre-
cinct, aided by Precinct Detective Sam
Browne and several officers, yesterday
laided the place of John Silers of 1877 NJ
street northeast, and, it is said, captured
enough liquor and jugs, bottles. etc, to set
up bar room. Silers and his assistant
James Tobin, were today charged in the
Police Court with violation of the liquor
law, the first with keeping unlicensed
bar and the other with being an accessory.
Both asked for jury trial, and were held
in $1,000 each to answer.
1t is stated that the police authorities
have been suspicious of. the character of
Silers business for a long time. 1t is
further stated that some years ago he sue
ceeded in having Officers Herndon and
Wheeler removed from the force by means
of the apparent substantiation of false
charges against them. Subsequently, how
ever, a number of the church and tenn
perance people of this city rallied to the
defense of the policemen, and they were
restored to the positions from which they
had been removed Herndon has since
died

The Firecracker Nuisance.

To the Editor of The Evening star:
1t is all very well to write communica-
tons to the papers commanding the action
of the District Commissioners in trying to
prevent the sale of firecrackers and for
those gentlemen to issue orders having that
end in view. But neither the newspaper
communications nor the efforts of the Com
nissioners in that direction will be found
to be worth the paper they are written on.
Under existing conditions whenever the tr
repressible boy wants frecrackers a dealer
will be found ready To supply them in spite
of the police, and when dealer has stock
on hand the boy will be found ready to buy
what the orders of the Commissioners or
the tenor of public sentiment on the sub
ject may be.
The only way 10 stop the dangerous nui-
Sance is to get Congress to pass a stringent
law absolutely forbidding the importation
of firecrackers into the country. They are
such a constant menace to both life and
property that Congress would be fully JUS
titled in enacting such law, and no doubt
il would be induced to do so if the munich
pal authorities and fire insurance COM
Tanies of the country would join in an effort
TO that end And they could hardly unite
in a better cause nor one that more surely
would win for them the good will and
hearty cooperation of the public. Let them
go to work and try the experiment any
way. The accomplishment of so laudable
an object is worthy of their best efforts

dealers send change for $40 with the order.
The colored man who was sent with the
goods discovered that the house was va
cant, but an unknown man met him at
the door and had him leave the bottles in
the basement. An alleged worthless check
on st. Paul bank was handed the colored
man and he gave the customer $50 change.
When the check was taken to the store 1t
was seen that it was worthless, and
clerk, who was sent to the house on L
street, found the bottles of water in the
basement, where the colored man had left
them.
In another case a young colored man is
alleged to have taken two rings from
Kahn's jewelry store, No. 439 eth street.
He went in the store Saturday and asked
to be shown some rings A tray containing
a number was placed on the showcase and
he made his selection. 1t SO happened that
the clerks attention was attracted to an
other part of the store and then the Gus
toner left the store. He forgot to pay for
the rings
