1856 to 1899 the increase in the average at
tendance in the public schools was 4o06
per cent. To show this increase. however,
It was necessary to include the pupils in
the night schools. although they attend
school but a few nights in the year, and
the expense for their Instruction is only
about s.. 10 per capita. The whole number
of these night pupils for the last fiscal year
was reported to be $50.
During the same period the increase in
the expenditures for the schools was 1872
per cent. which is not stated directly, but
can be figured out from the report.
These two statements should be in juxta-
position: Increase In average attendance.
4O.R per cent; increase in expenditures,
- per cent.
The amount expended for public schools
for the fiscal year ended June 80. 1899, was
81, 164, 734. 10.
The amount appropriated by the House
is s1,5G3, al
Making an increase of $3.50 O06.9O. or %. 10
per cent per annum in two years, while II
Is safe to say that the increase of the
average attendance in the schools will be

thorizes contracts to be made for an addi-
tional sum Of S219,5O0, making grand total
of 81, 723, ,241.
The Commissioners estimate the District
revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:


II there be any justification for a dra-
matte censor, in the interest of public
morals in Washington-and those who have
seen some of the plays. lately produced
here can scarcely doubt it-there is abso-
lutte and immediate need of official super
vision in the matter of theatrical and other
billboard and "dodger' advertising, as ex-
emplified on our streets just now. In the
one case only the comparatively small num-
ber who go to theaters, and these mostly
adults, are shocked. And they can stay
away if they want to. In the other case
the sensbilities of the whole community
men, women and children-everybody, in
fact necessarily using our public thorough
fares-are outraged. There is no help for
them. If they go out at all these offensive
every side.
A glaring case in point is the colored Illus
trated billboard poster of one of the minor
places of amusement which disfgures the
streets Of Washington in advertising the
attractions Of the place for the current
week. In itself 1t is vulgar to an extreme
degree and absolutely Indecent In its sug
gestiveness. That any property owner
would permit a vacant lot to be disgraced
by such exhibitions of lewdness seems in
credible; but the desire to secure an in
come from otherwise unproductive> prop
erty appears to be irresistible In some ma
lures. The public authorities ought, there

that character, II they have the power, and

The Cabin John Arrests
To the Editor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Respecting the unfortunate occurrence Mt
Cabin John bridge recently and the dea til
OF most estimable young man in conse-
qrence thereof, it appears very forcibly to
| my mind that the Washington police depa IT.
n ent have very queer method of trans
acting business In connection with the an.
prehension and arrest of persons suspected
of murder and those who confess responsf
bility for the death of a felIow-being.
In connection with the case in point sew
eral suspects were arrested and locked up
In the police stations. with no evidence
whatever In possession Of the police to war
rant their action. The persons actually re-
sponsible for the death of the unfortuna te,
Individual who lost his life at Cabin John
confessed to the chief of police of our CITY
after a delay Of one week, and only when
the guilty persons had been informed that
the police had obtained positive evidence
against them. During this time they per-
mitted innocent persons to be locked up
without uttering word in their defense.
After the confession we find that the ma
jor of police advised the guilty young men
to surrender themselves and volunteered the
information that he could not compel the
boys to surrender without a warrant.
If this construction of the law be correct
in the case of confessed criminals, what au-
thority did our police department have in
arresting and imprisoning the innocent per-
sons whom they detained in several Of their
station houses?
Is it possible that favortism, regardless
of conditions. is practiced by our police de-
partment and the confessed criminal treat
ed with greater consideration than the in
nccent suspect? JAMES ROACIE.

IN this city yesterday morning. although
no report OF Il has yet reached the police.
This victim. an old man from she East.
lost 500 through his 10 implicit conn-
denco I'm human nature.
The story came to light In the folow-
ing manner George H. Richmond, who
has an office in the Boston block. Went
outside the office door yesterday morning
10 direct "a man across the street, when
he saw another man looking around In a
confused manner on the steps Of tho CO.

man whom no was looking for and the
man replied tina, he wanted TO lind the

whom he said was the agent for tho COM
pany. Richmond made Inquiries. but could
find no one Of that name In thu building.
The old man astoushed Richmond by ra-
marking Il guess I've been huukoed."
Then tho old man told hts story 90 Rich
mond. He sais that he and his son had
been in Seattle only a short time. Yes-
tersiay while down on the docks they
were accosted by a young man who had
made the sons acquaintance and who
asked permission TO introduce friend.
This was granted and the new friend was
soon In earnest conversation with the old
man. He was taking an immense ship
ment of merchandise 10 Cape Nome. he
said, and was waiting for "a load to como
TO the wharf At this juncture a third
man appeared and asked the man with
the big load OF freight to pay his freight
charges. After a little expostnlation he
produced draft and offered II TO the ai-
legged freight agent in payment. The
freight agent said he must have tho
money and iinally the suggestion was
made that the old man lend his friend
the money until the bank opened. The
guielers Fastener could not get his
money out too fast 10 Accommodate his
new-found friend lie gave him $3.50 and
the friend accompanied him up town and
left him at the corner of Second avonua
and Columbia street. saying that he was
going to the bank and telling the old man
TO watch for q drayiosd OF goods which
wan on the way down the hill, or TO go
TO the office in the Boston block. That IL
the last the old man saw of the friend
When Richmond heard the story he ADJ
vised the man TO go to the police with his
tale, but he replied that he Was going TO
hunt up his son ana the friend who mad
introduced the freight shipper. Whats
ever has been the result OF hie search ho
has not as yet reported at police head
quarters, The general belief is that the
cid man has seen thu last Of his money
and hts sons friend Is keeping him auies
with the assurance that the draft liz good
and that he win get his money Mean
while the man who took tho nsney has
splendid opportunity TO get out OF town
