REPLIES TO COMPLAINT.
superintendent of Police Discussei
Charges Against His Force.


A communication was recently received
by the District Commissioners from Dr. 5.
e. Lewis of 141S 14th street, who explained
that previously he had often addressed the
board regarding the inefficiency of the po-
lice in the vicinity of 14th and streets.
few days ago, said the writer he suffered
loss at 1902 14th street in the breakage
Of two large plate glass show windows.
''The perpetrator, boy of tender age,
will perhaps be punished wrote DR..
Lewis, land 1 will bear my loss. There the
incident will end In my humble opinion
the poor boy and myself suffer by the in
efficiency of the District government, and
SO far | am concerned there is no
remedy for either of US.
The complaint was referred to the police
department, and Maj. Sylvester has trans
mitted the following report to the Commits
sioners, and it has been approved:
Il beg leave to state that l have fre
quenty given this locality my personal at
tention, with view of regulating conditions
in the vicinity of the market house On P
street between 14th and 18th streets, and
on market days an officer is continuously
stationed nearby The patrol box is but a
square distant. where calls are made every
hour. and 1 feel that the locality is, given
every attention possible with the number
of men at command.
My active interest in regulating affairs
in this vicinity is largely prompted by
SoihpldlHtS ny bT. 1AeWlS, lHe uFSl
being against dairy premises in that vicin-
ity, the second against fruit vendors, the
thlrd with respect to grocery wagons block
ing the roadway in front Of his premises
and the last one the complaint in hand.
There are no other persons living there
abouts who have called upon the police, at
these headquarters, for interference, and
have reason to believe that the conditions
are very much improved If not as good as
exist elsewhere in the neighborhood Of
market house.
''On the occasion referred to the window
glass was not broken by boys living in
that vicinity, but by a youth who resides in
Mount Pleasant, who was passing along the
street when he threw the ball which caused
the damage, after he had been interfered
with by companion.
1T would be impossible to look after the
pranks and actions of the thousands of
persons who pass to and fro this busy
street through the day and night. but the
officers have given, and will continue to
give, every care and vigilance to those
who may have interests or who live in the
locality mentioned in the hope that there
may be no cause for complaint"

TO her zeal and conservation.
The church must fulfill it's missiDl to
be the leader of thought and the new edu-

Second. To form womans guilds in
every state and section of the country and
to enlist the united efforts, gifts and pray
ers of American wCmanhood to make this
institution what the founder, inspired by
the highest and purest motives, has

guild will give each church and hamlet
the privilege of having a stone in this
building.
Third, Any person or local or state guild
contributing 100000 shall be entitled to
name a chair perpetual in the Womans
Guild College of Comparative Religion.
Any person or local or state guild contrib

EXTRA PRECAUTIONS.
Major Sylvester to Designate Special
OMcers for Holiday Season.


OMlcers for Holiday Season.
Christmas shoppers, the police have been
informed. have started out this year earlier
than usual. and in large numbers. 1t may
therefore become necessary to give the
crowded stores extra protection sooner than
is customary. The holiday season is the
time of the year when shoplifters and pick
pockets reap a harvest, and while many of
them are caught each year, the stores lose
very largely in cases where arrests are rot
made, and in other cases where the losers
will not prosecute.
In order to give all the protection possi-
BILE. Maj. Sylvester will detail a number OF
officers from the several precincts, and
these will do duty in citizens clothes. They
will not only patrol the crowded business
thoroughfares, but will also enter the stores
and act in some cases with the private de-
tectiVes and floor walkers. who are charged
with the responsibility of protecting the
goods on the counters. Maj. Sylvester has
not yet determined when the extra detail
will be made, but 1t is likely that the men
to be employed during the centennial cele-
bration will assist in protecting the stores
as well as the visitors to the city.
