Five of the Suspected Men Arraiened
in Police Court.
Five Of the men suspected Of being pick
pockets, arrested by Detectives Weldon,
Hartigan, Hamm, and Pumphrey on Mon
day night, were arraigned before Judge
Scott yesterday in the Police Court. The
prisoners were: Louis Lebers, alias James
Monroe; George Hilton, alias Teddy Kings
ton; William J. Wallace; Harry Valentine
alias Henry Shafer, alias James Johnson,
and James Williams.
They were defended by Attorneys Car
rington and o'Neil.
William A Rocks, an insurance agent
living at iii Eleventh Street northwest.
testified that he was robbed of a pocket
book on Monday night at Fourteenth Street
and Pennsylvania Avenue containing $11
in bills, some small change, q trade dollar,
and few trinkets. He felt some ones
hand IL his pocket at the time but could
do nothing to prevent the robbery as
both hands we're engaged in protecting his
daughter from being jostled by the crowd
From the testimony of the detectives il
seems the gang is well organized, their
plan being TO rush into a crowd, three OF
them TO keep the peoples attention en-
gagged while the other two relieve them of
their valuables. Mr.. Rocks positively iden-
titled George Hilton. alias Teddy Kings
ton, as being one of the men in the crowd
at the time his pocketbook was stolen.
The alleged crooks were later arrested al
the corner of Eighth and ! Streets
northwest, and taken to headquarters
Mr.. Darlington tried to show in court that
the men arrived in Washington after Mr..
Rocks was robbed. but Judge Scott appa-
rently did not entertain this idea as they
were each held in $4,000 bond to await the
action Of the grand jury.

The annual report Of Surgeon A. NJ. Cur
tis. in charge Of Freedman's Hospital. was
made public yesterday by the Secretary
OF the Interior. Surgeon Curtis states that
during the past fiscal year many changes
have beun made, adding greatly TO the
efficiency Of the hospital The number Of
in-patients treated during the year was
1874 the number OF out-patients 4.779
Admission to the hospital was denied 225
persons Twenty-Five deaths were re-
corded as occurring within forty-eight
hours after admission This was due to
patients being brought to the hospital in
a dying condition. The number Of surgi-
cal operations was AIS, with only five
deaths attending the same. The death
rate from all causes was I'll The death
rate, excluding no-ibund and consumptive
cases was Az.
Attention is called to the necessity of
more room. as the number of applications
for treatment is constantly increasing.
During the past year 1900 more cases
were treated than during the previous year.
A children's ward is being established.
A new and modern hospital is urged. The
inmates now occupy the old, illy-adapted
frame buildings under depressing condi-
eions. They are so dilapidated and ex-
fosed that II is practically impossible to
Feat them IN winter. Stoves are relied on
solely. Attention is also called to the
danger OF FIRE starting among these in
6ammable structures which would proba-
bly, result in injury and death 10 the
patients. Commenting on this subject the
board Of visitors says:
These buildings are frame structures, built on
the old Ermy barracks plan Of more than thirty
years ago, and are wholly unified for modern
hospital purposes These buildings are not con
necied, and in ali kinds Of weather-winter and
Eummer-couvalescent patients are compelled u
expose themselves in going 10 their meals IN
the dining room in the kitchen building. Fur
sher than this, the diet for the patients who are
unable 10 leave their beds must be carried on
trays from The kitchen, through the grounds
20 the different wards. No means exist for
properly heating, lighting. or ventilating the
wards. IN case q Ere the buildings could not
resist rapid destruction, and in any emergency
1t would be impossible 10 remove all the sick
and helpless from the wards before the flames
devoured the buildings and inmates
Referring to the internes and nurses the
report says that since the internes have
been exempted from the classified service
their work has been more satisfactory
The Improvement IN the nursing is alss
noticeable. This is due 10 the large num-
Der of graduates who are constantly EN-
ployed In private nursing. New fields ar,
also opening, SO that the graduates are nov
filling positions as superintendents o.
nurses "a various hospitals throughout tbs
country. The number Of applicants fol

stanty increasing. The report concludes
