4 NOISY PLEASURE PARK
Complaints Against a Fourteenth
Street Resort.
Commissioners without Power to
Refuse Licenses for Entertain
Have to Appeal to the Courts
to Suppress H-An OmcinI Report

No action has been taken by the Commits
sioners on the petition recently received by
them from seventy-three property owners
and residents living near the Fourteenth
Street Park. which is located on Four
teenth Street between T and e Streets
northwest, protesting against the place as
an ''unbearable nuisance" depriving neace-
able, w-abiding residents of the neigh
borhood of rest, cecurity, and peace. The
petitioners asked that no more permits be
issued for entertainments there, but the
Commissioners have decided that they can
not take such action.
1t will be remembered that some time
ago 4 similar petition resulted in the issu-
ance OF an order by them, directing that
Nash's Hall. on o Street, near Seventh
ney for the District ruled that they had nc
discretion as to the issuance of license
and the hall was reopened. Commissioner
Ross maintains that the present case is
analogous and the petitioners have been
informed that they must seek a remedy in
the courts.
Fourteenth Street Park is a part Of what
is known as the Warder estate. and is
placed in the hands of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company. The park is
rented by ]. H. Hellman, of Second and
X streets southwest, and is subrented by
him to an organization styled the Ma
tional Industrial Club The president of
this organization. c. H. Braxton, a colored
man, rents the park to various organiza-
tions which hold entertainments there dur
ing the summer months.
The Commissioners are satisfied that the
park is detrimental to the neighborhood
and were willing to have it closed, but
found that they We're without authority, or
AT least so they believed, to withhold the
license. The character of the park is de-
scribed in a lengthy report from Lieut..
John Kenney, of the Eighth Police Pre-
cinct. who was instructed to make
personal investigation of the source of
He stated that the persons who
have gathered at the park have caused
much trouble for some time.

yelling and idiotic yelping of lot of peo-
pie who act more like savages than civil
lied beings. Being on one of our most
prominent streets, and near a neighbor-
hood of very fine people, who are kept
awake until after midnight by the music
and noise. this is the complaint
Even if We raided the place every night
it would not prevent it being opened the
night if licenses or permits are
granted some other organization
II is very probable that the residents of
the neighborhood will bring the matter to
the attention of the grand jury.

Not few Of the people who are enthu-
siastically optimistic regarding the future
of the New York stock market expected
something of reaction this morning alter
the advances of the past week. The bears
were, many of them, prepared to sell
stock at the opening prices. The thing
that happened was a grieyOus disappoint-
ment to the bears and more or less of
confirmation for the friends OF the pres
ent course of prices. The opening was
from fraction 10 point higher than the
close last night in all the good railroad
stocks, the grangers and the Vanderbi
securities again being in the lead. But
there was only 4 momentary reaction from
the highest level and not even this in
many cases. Before the first hour had
passed securities were again climbing 10
new higher levels and there was no sus-
picion of weakness anywhere. The buy
ing was excellent. commission house or
ders being larger than at any time before
for many days, and covering by shorts

1t is most difficult to talk of the imme-
diate future of such market as the pres
ent. The experience of the past leads the
old market traders to expect a reaction
after advances practically without pause
for five days. But, on the other hand, the
bull market of last December and January
makes them remember that present con-
ditions are not those of past years. The
utmost caution is necessary, but the best
houses in the Street were advising the buy
ing OF stocks today, until some sign of
weakness shall develop. The holidays,
which are now only two days of. may
cause even many of the bulls to close out
their contracts, and this is used as bear
argument. but. on the other hand. it is as
certain that if there are any bears remain
ing in the market on Friday they will wish
to close out their short contracts. too,
which may be perhaps as strong an influ-
ence for higher prices. The statement
made in this column week ago that prices
would be put up in order that the reinvest-
ment of the July disbursements may be
made at high prices has already been full
filled to a greater extent than was expect
ed, as anyone can see by comparing the
opening level this morning with that of Q
