INTERPRETERS WITH TRAFFIC.
Inspector Reports Too Many Hacks
at stand.

The hack inspector, Mr.. a. r. Lamb, was
recently directed by the District Commits
sioners to keep the public vehicles on the
hack stand on Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween 18th and 18th streets back of the
building line of d street, so as not to inter
fere with pedestrians passing along Penn
sylyania avenue on the south side Mr.
Lamb has reported to the Commissioners
that 1t will be impossible to keep all of the
vehicles occupying the stand in the position
indicated without seriously interfering with
traffic on d street. He has therefore, sug-
gested that the number of vehicles be re-
duced from six to four, and that the other
two be placed on the north side of d street
Immediately parallel with the curb The in
spector also suggests the establishment of
stand for four vehicles on the west side
Of 18th street Immediately south of Penn
sylyania avenue, to stand parallel with the
curb, the city postmaster, the inspector
states, offering no objection.
The matter IL now being considered by the
Commissioners.

DEATH OF OFFICER HOWE.
Member of Metropolitan Police Force
for Thirty-One Years.

Policeman John T. Howe of the fifth pre-
cinct' who was stricken with paralysis
tuesday morning while on duty at c street
ana Arthur place in connection with the
work on the Tiber creek sewer, as pub
lished in Tuesdays Star, died yesterday
afternoon at his home. No. 421 Sth street
southeast. The deceased had served thirty
one consecutive years a member of the
police department, and there are very few
men now on the force who have served
longer period. He fell on the street at the
time he was stricken, and became uncon-
SciouS soon afterward. He did not regain
consciousness before he died.
Policeman Howe WAS always regarded as
an excellent officer, and on number of oc-
casions showed his bravery. His death re-
calls to the older members of the police
force the election riots which occurred the
year before Congress abolished suffrage.
The riot at 18th and K streets northwest
was the one in which Howe figured. At
that time Major A. c. Richards was chief
of police. and he was called upon to pro-
tect colored man named Charles Stewart,
who wanted to vote the democratic ticket.
Major Richards said he would give him the
necessary protection. and when Stewart
appeared at the polls to cast his vote the
trouble began. Pistol shots were fired ana
the police were called upon to use their
clubs. One of the bullets passed through
the carriage of a United States senator.

the form of government. Two men died
from the effects of the wounds received
during the riot. and a colored man named
Smith from Baltimore. who wfs shot
through the head recovered. He was shot
by Policeman Polly Hopkins who saw
pistol pointed in the direction of Major
Richards head.
In this riot the late Policeman Howe took
an important part. and it was due to his
courageous conduct that more serious trout
BILE was averted. While he was always
courageous officer, Howe's great weight
was always against his being as active as
he might otherwise have been. 1t was only
a few months ago that he was reduced to
class one and given a detail. He preferred
this to being placed on the retired list.
Major Sylvester issued an order today
Announcing the officers death. detail
of twenty-four men will be made to attend
the funeral, which will take place Mon
