Action Not Necessary.

Mr.. N. E. Thompson, $40 18th street
northeast, some days ago stated to the Dis
trict Commissioners that the porch in front
of 1915 I'd street northeast had been re-
moved and broken up by District employees,
and that it has not been replaced Mr..
Thompson, therefore, requested and de-
manded that a porch similar to the one re-
moved be built in front of The said prem
Uses, without delay, by the District. From
an investigation ordered by them, the Com
missioners are of the opinion that the Dis
trict is not called upon to take any action
in the matter, as they are Informed that
the structures referred to are SO rotten as
to be entirely worthless. The complainant
is also believed by 5the commissioners to
have received much more benefit from ac-
ton already taken by the District than
even the complete reconstruction of new
steps and porch would have been.

WAS DISORDERLY.
Mary Pollnrd's Ofense as Testified
to in Court.


Mary E. Pollard was today charged before
Judge Kimball with disorderly conduct Of
ficer Sullivan, who made the accusation,
said he went to the home Of the woman
between ! and o'clock Sunday morning
to make an investigation regarding a re-
port that a lady had given member of the
Pollard family so in error. The defendant,
he said created great uproar, cursing and
swearing in terrible manner. This evil
dence was corroborated in some particulars
by three policemen.
The defense claimed that Policeman Sui
Ivan forced his way into the house, and
because Mary objected and expressed her
self pretty emphatically on the subject,
dragged her out of bed and along the street
to the patrol box. square away, with
scarcely any clothing on and without either
shoes or stockings. The further assertion
was made that the woman's left arm was
badly pinched by the policeman while he
had her under arrest, and that Sullivan
had used profane language in the house be-
fore making the arrest
John Boyd not only corroborated the 9TH
er witnesses for the defense, but said he
saw officer Sullivan slap the prisoner along
side of the face and knock her to her knees.
This was admitted by the officer named
but he claimed that he did not do so until
the woman tried to bite him.
Several persons who saw the officer and
his prisoner going along the street were
questioned particularly on the point, and
they replied they had not seen the woman
make any effort to assault or resist the po-
Hceman
The defendant denied that she had used
any profane language at any time during
the entire affair, and said that she made
Officer Sullivan angry because she told him
he had no right to swear on duty and would
report him to Major Sylvester. superintend-
ent of police and the District Commission
ers. 1t was for this, she said, and no other
cause she was arrested
Judge Kimball said the arrest was clear
~ warranted by the testimony before him,
and imposed a fine of IS, which was paid.

Temperance Advocates In AnacOstia
Arrayed Against Applicant.

The official notice posted by Mr.. VIM. E.
Hayes of his intention to apply for license
to sell liquor in Anacostia has aroused the
temperance advocates in the town. An in

the granting of additional liquor license in
Anacostia it was decided to appeal to the
moral and religious sentiment of the citi-
zens of nacostia-irrespective of creed or
denomination. Also to obtain and make
public the name, residence, occupation and
church standing of persons indorsing any
application for liquor license in the town,
and to use every honorable means to induce
heads of families and others to array them
selves the side of temperance.
Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Quackenbush were
appointed committeesto obtain signatures
against the issue of liquor license in Ana

Eta was very drunk and used the most

What, that little girl?" the court asked
Calling the girl to the stand Judge Kim
ball asked her where she got the stuff
which made her drunk.
TT was bought by a boy named Henry
Johnson" was the response,
Lawyer Peyton volunteered to aid the
girl, and Judge Kimball asked what could
be done about the matter.
TT is clear case of assault, in my opin-
ion," the attorney replied, for any one
to furnish a girl of such tender years with
an intoxicant, and L think he ought to be
brought into court" The court agreed with
this, but no one present seemed to know
Henry Johnson, and no action was taken
in reference to his case.
Judge Kimball directed that the defend
ants personal bonds be taken, and warned
her that a repetition of the ofense would
mean six months in the workhouse.
