FRUIT vENDERs MUST MOVE.
Peddlers Not to he Pernitted to Con
gregate on Streets.

Campbell Darlington, representing the
interests OF fruit dealers who have been
accustomed to sell from carts in Pennsyl-
formed yesterday by he District Commits
sioners that the vendors would be liable to
arrest il the practice is continued
The reply of the Commissioners TO Mr..
Darlington was based upon a report from
the Superintendent Of Police, in which it
was stated that there was no objection to
licensed venders pursuing their vocation
in any section of the District il they do
not violate the laws
Major Sylvester says that he has had the
region about the intersection of Pennsy1-
vania Avenue and Seventh Street under
close observation. and he is OF the opinion
that If these venders were permitted to
congregate there and keep their carts NOV
ing, thereby evading the law. it 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 for complaints similar 10 those FORM
erly made by merchants who transact busi-
ness in Centre Market and the vicinity.
The trouble with the venders the Su-
perintendent goes on to say, is that they
will not abide by their promises. He
states that policemen doing duty in Penn
sylvania Avenue and Seventh Street are
called upon frequently TO request these
men to move on after they have taken up
their stands on the south side Of the Ave-
nue.
There is 10 law says Major Sylvester,
under which fruit venders can be prevented
from going where they please in the Dis
trict but when they congregate in num-
bers in the vicinity referred to. they will
be arrested, if al any time they stand on
the curb or in the street when not making
a sale
The congregation of fruit sellers in the
locality mentioned has been the cause Of
frequent complaint on the part of business
men in that vicinity. The practice not
only chokes travel. but the solicitation OF
passers-by TO purchase of them cons tttutes
a nuisance which the Commissioners feel
called upon to break up.

A Converted Moor stabbed.

DANVILLE, Va. March 10.-In fight
here last night Charles Mahammed, con-
werted Moor, who has been lecturing and
preaching in Baptist churches here, was
seriously cut in the upper part of the
chest. He was eating in restaurant when
o. A. Mel, well-known young man. came
in and, mistaking the Moor for negro,
upbraided the proprietor for permitting
the man in his place. His language was
offensive TO the Moor. who resented it,
and the two men became involved in a
fight outside in which others became in
volved, including Harper Chandler. After
the fight it was discovered that Mahammed
had been seriously cut. His condition is
not considered dangerous. 1t is not known
who did the cutting Mahammed is said
to be highly educated, prominent Mason,
and well known.

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


The District Commissioners are In re-
eeipt Of an application, through Building
Inspector Brady, from James L. Carrick
requesting permission to use concrete In
place Of brick in the foundation walls of
four houses to 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
13-inch concrete walls are ample for hous-
es two stories high, and would be espe-
cially seryiceable as a 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
1ectfons 10 such constructions, one of which
is the possibility of fires. In case of
confagration. be says, when the roof
and floors should be burned away, concrete
wa@ls would fall en- masse and would not
buckle and collapse as brick or masonry
walls do. thereby causing far greater
radius OF destruction 10 surrounding prop
erty than walls of brick. If left standing
after the fire. the Inspector goes on to
say. the removal or destruction of the
concrete would present very serious
problem.
Mr. Brady suggests that IL the work is
permitted the owner or contractor be re-
quired to deposit a sufficient fee for his
permit TO 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 10 the Engineer Commits
sioner sees no objection TO granting the
application. He recommends, however
that the exterior cellar walls be plastered
with coating OF sand and cement as
protection against dampness.
The matter is under consideration by the
Commissioners.

A BANK RUNNER ROBBED.
Edward +. ROome Relieved of q
weII-FiIIed Wallet.

Edward F. Roome, employed as a run
ner by the American Savings Bank, at 1907
Street northwest. was this morning the
victim of a bold daylight robbery While
in the Traders National Bank at the cor
ner of Tenth Street and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.. he was relieved of a pocketbook
containing s1l2 in cash and checks and
drafts to the amount OF S400. The robbery
was discovered Immediately. but the thief
escaped. The police are now at work on
the case without a clew.
According TO the story told the police by
Roome he left the American Savings Bank
on his usual morning run about $50
o'clock He visited several banks where
checks were cashed. stopped at the City
Postoffice where money orders were r.
deemed and finally made his way to the
Traders National Bank about 10:30
o'clock
There he drew a check from the large
pocketbook and presented it for payment,
returning the pocketbook to an outside
pocket of his overcoat and holding ii with
his hand. While waiting for the payment
on the check Roome drew piece of tobac-
co from his pocket, the same which held
the pocketbook and when the tobacco was
returned to the pocket the pocketbook and
contents were gone. There were few per-
sons in the bank at the time, but none was
close enough to Roome to cause suspicion
to rest on him.
Roome states that he felt nothing at his
pocket and noticed no one about him act
ing suspiciously. The police believe that
the thief followed Roome from place to
place awaiting an opportunity TO rob him.
AS Roome kept his hand on the pocketbook
at all times except when he drew the to-
bacco from his pocket the lookedfor op-
portunity did not arrive until several
places had been visited. That the robber
was an expert and worked quickly and
deftly is evidenced, the police say, by the
fact that the pocketbook was taken the in
stant Roome took his hand from it,

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 play
and yet the absence of which he resents.
While, OF course. every character and in
cident of "Quo Vadis?" 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,
MIR. 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 irreverent treatment of his
product.
Last time Ching Ling Foo was in Wash
ington ii was claimed that over 80, 600 peo
pie saw him perform. IL this record Is
repeated next week, when the Mongolian
magician returns to the Grand, over
fifth of the population will be conversant
with his work. Ching is TO be supported

Pretty girls are to extravaganza what

siderable interest must be aroused locally
