FRUIT VENDORS MUST MOVE.
PeddIers Not To he Permitted TO Con
RrPuafe nm Streets

HtuuAeEN Not 10 he ferE11tteu TO Ton
EregRte ON Streets.
Campbell Darlington, representing the
interests OF fruit dealers who have been
accustomed to sell from carts in Pennsyl-
vania Avenue AID Seventh Street, was in
formed yesterday by the District Commits
sioners that the vendors would be liable TO
arrest II the practice Is continued.
The reply Of the Commissioners 20 Mr..
Darlington was basel upon a report from
the superintendent e Police, in which Il
was stated that there was no objection 10
licensed vendors pursuing their vocation
in any section Of the District II they DO
not violate the laws.
Major sylvester says that ne has had the
region about the Intersection OF Pennsy1-
vania Avenue and Seventh Street under
close observation. and he is OF the opinion
that II these vendors were permitted %
cOnGregate there and keep their carts NOV
ing, thereby evading the law. IL would re-
suit not only IN a nuisance but also cause
congestion Of travel in the neighborhOod.
. He holds that this would be sufficient
cause Tor complaints similar to those FORM
eTly made by merchants who transact busi-
ness in Centre Market and the vicinity.
The trouble with the vendors the Su-
peTiutendent goes on TO say. is that they
| will not abide by their promises. He
states that policemen doing duty in Penn
sylvaniR Avenue and Seventh Street are
called upon frequently 20 request these
men 10 move on after they have taken up
| their stands on the south side Of the Ave
nue..
There is no law. says Major Sylvester
under which fruit vendors can be prevented
/ from going where they please IN the Dis
/ trict but when they congregste in num-
! bers IN the vicinity referred TO. they will
/ be arrested, IL at any time they stand on
/ the curb or in the street when not making
| a sale
The congregat ton OF fruit sellers IN the
! locality mentioned has been the cause OF
1 frequent complaint on the part OF business
/ men in that vicinity. The practice not
/ only chOkes travel but the solicitation o,
! paseers-by 10 purchase Of them institute
| a nuisance which the Commissioners fee
| called upon TO break up.

According to the story told the police by

checks were cashed. stopped AT the city
Postoffice where money orders were r.

CONCRETE INSTEAD OF BRICKS.
The Way MIR. Carrick Desires to
Build Foundation Walls

The District Commissioners are in re-
ceipt OF an application, through Building
Inspector Brady, from James L. CsTriek,
requesting permission to use concrete in
place Of brick in the foundation walls OF
four houses 10 be erected on Third Street
southeast
Building Inspector Brady in reporting his
views Of the feasibility OF granting the
permit says TO the Commissioners that
1@-inch concrete walls are ample for hous-
es two stories high, and would be Sspe-
cially serviceable as . means Of keeping
out dampness He thinks there would be
no danger as to the stability OF the houses
so built. but he is also OF the opinion that
the precedent that may be established by
the use of such walls is a matter reQuir-
ing good deal OF care and consideration.
Mr. Brady points out a number Of OBJ
| 1ections 10 such constructions, one OF which
! Is the possibility OF fires. In case Of
conflagration. be says when the roof
and floors should be burned away, concrete
walls would fall en- masse, and would not
buckle and collapse as brick OF masonry
walls do. thereby causing a far greater
radius OF destruction 10 surrounding prop
erty than walls OF brick II left standing
after the fire. the Inspector goes on to
say. the removal or destruction Of the
concrete would present a very serious
problem.
Mr. Brady suggests that II the work Is
permitted the owner or contractor be re-
CURED to deposit a sufficient fee for his
permit 10 enable the Commissioners to
employ an experienced inspector to watch
the operations OF building. to inspect the
materials, the mixing and manner Of ap-
plying the concrete at all times.
In passing upon the papers, ID. B. Call
lard, Assistant 20 the Engineer Commits
sioner, sees no objection 10 granting the
application. He recommends, however
that the exterior cellar walls be plastered
with coating OF sand and cement as a
protection against dampness.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

William Archer. the celebrated Eng
lish reviewer. has urged that it is unwise
for a critic to read a novel prior to seeing
its stage version enacted, his claim being
that the peruser retains notions which he
knows are unsusceptible to use in a play
and yet the absence Of which he resents.
While, OF course. every character and in
cident of "QuO Vadis2' has not been got
into the adaptation, those who have Wit
messed the performance Of Stanislaus
STANCES work seem to have no complaint
on the score Of omissions. Apparently,
Mr.. STANCE has followed the original as
closely as was possible. and hence the
warmest admirers of the Polish author
may go TO the Columbia next week with
out fear OF being shocked by what might
be considered irreyerent treatment OF his
product.
