WOMEN SUFFER INSULTS
Employees Of Bureau of Engraving and
Printing Subject to Annoyances.
Are Obliged to BE on the Streets mt
Night-Arrest of Alleged
Offenders.

During recent weeks II is claimed. num-
ber of women employed in the bureau OF
engraving and printing have been insulted
on the streets at night when they were on
their way to their homes from office. Many
persons who are employed in the bureau go
to work at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon and
start home between 1880 and IL o'clock.
On more than one occasion, it is alleged,
some of them have been insultingly ad-
dressed at the street car junction at 10Th
and G streets.
Two nights ago the police of the first pre-
cinct arrested coiored man, who gave his
name as William Washington, for the al
legged offense. and his case is now pending
in the Police Court Last night Policeman
Walsh arrested a young man named Will
lam Alexander on warrant charging him
with having used insulting language on the
street. The warrant was sworn out on
complaint of Mrs. Garges who is employed
in the bureau. She was on her way home
about II o'clock the night of February -,
and was about a square from her home,
when a young man accoSted her with an
improper proposal. When she threatened
him with arrest his language became even
worse than before and complaint was
made to the police of the sixth precinct.
How He Was Identified.
Mrs. Garges said the man who had insult
ed her had been in conversation with an
officer only about two minutes before the
occurrence. 1t happened that Policeman
Walsh was the officer to whom she
ferred, and he remembered having been in
conversation with Alexander about the time
mentioned. When he arrested Alexander
Mrs. Garges identified him as the one of
whom she complained. The police accepted
SO collateral for his appearance.
Mrs. Garges appeared before Prosecuting
Attorney Pugh this morning and made her
charges. She was not satisfied, she said,
that he should get off with thu payment Of
SO. but was anxious TO have the case
heard. She said she wanted an example
made of the young man for the beneflt of
others who had suffered from similar con-
duct. Some of thu younger women, she
said, are more timid, and do not care to Gp-
pear in court.
1t was more for their protection than
for her own, she said, that she wanted the
case heard.
Attorney Sillers, who represented the
young man, made plea for leuiency on the
ground that he had a wife and child and
aged parents. This Mrs. Garges thought
was no reason why he should be permitted
merely to forfeit the amount of collateral.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh concluded the
amount was sufficient and permitted a for
feiture of the SO. Alexander claims he is
innocent

CONGRESS HEIGHTS.
The Association Discusses Future
Parks and street Railway.

The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
ton met last evening IN the associations
hall on Nichols avenue, Congress Heights.
c. w. Frazier presiding. Mr.. Gustave Ben
der brought up the matter of complying
with a recent request of Captain Beach. the
Engineer Commissioner that the sssocia-
ton unite upon a suitable site for future
pubic park at Congress Heights. Mr.. Ben
der favored beauufying the three-acre
school lot for such a park, but there was
objection made and the question was re-
ferred to the executive committee.
The road committee, V. n. Tucker chair
man. was instructed to call upon the Com
missioners Friday and inquire into the
promised improvement of Nichols avenue,
ask for the grading of several streets and
speak of the necessity Of a system of sur
face drainage for the town.
Mr.. Frazier presented his resignation as
presiding officer of the association, but af-
ter some discussion was prevailed upon TO
withdraw 1t. The railroad committee re-
ported through Mr.. Bender, the chairman,
who spoke of the dissatisfaction existing
now among those who have to use the An
acostia street car line to reach the city over
the transfer arrangement with the Metro
politan railroad at AZ street and Maryland
avenue. Mr.. Bender advocated the run
ming OF the Capital railway cars TO the
navy yard gate as heretofore, and the is
suing Of transfers at that point. Mr.. Ran
ole spoke In favor of the same plan as the
only way out of the difficulty until the
electrical system is installed the Ana
costa road. 1t was decided the street rail-
way committee should wait upon the rail-
road officials Friday and request that the
cars of the Capital road be run to the navy
yard.
Mr.. Emmons brought up the transfer OF
Sergeant w. r. Anderson of the Anacostia
police station to duty a night sergeant,
and a paper was read setting forth that
eft Is with regret that the Congress Heights
Citizens Association learns of the assign
ment of Sergeant w. I. Anderson of the
Anacostia district to duty as night SER
geant, and of the action Of the chief of
police in appointing a ranking sergeant over
an officer. who has so efficiently, ably and
actively looked after the territory oc this
side of the river for so long and whose wide
acquaintance with people and things here
rendered him peculiarly fitted for h& du-
ties"
A resolution of commentator followed,
and copies were ordered sent to the Com
missioners and Major Sylvester. chief of
police.
