AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Attorneys Opinion Asked as TO
Suppresstng Improper Shows.


Conditions in other Cities to Be Laid
Before the COmmissiOneTs-AN New
Regulation Concerning the Viola
tion of n BEIIdinE-Other Matters.
The Commissioners today referred TO
the Attorney for his consideration and
opinion the question of the authority of
the Board to close theatres which present
immoral exhibitions by revoking their Ii
censes- According to a joint resolution
passed by Congress at the last session, the
Commissioners are empowered TO revoke
the license of a theatre, when in their
opinion the manager has failed TO comply
with the terms of his license or has al
lowed on the stage of his house an ir1-
moral performance
Before taking action in the matter.
Commissioner Ross secured letters from
several cities setting forth the usage Il
those cities. 1t was found that most OF
the large American cities have stringent
statutes relating to the matter and that
improper shows are not allowed. A re
port from Major SylyesteT states that
the chief difficulty encountered by the po-
lice here in dealing with the class OF en-
tertainmeuts referred to, has been the
lack OF law and penalty. He says that
unless there is actua. indecency OF act or
the use Of profance or vulgar language
the local police are poweriess, and cases
brought into the Police Court are dismiss
ed.
Commissioner Ross will await the opin-
ION of the ATTORNEY upon the legal as
pect OF the question, and viii then pre-
sent the matter TO the Board, when it will
consider what action. II any. shall be
taken 10 stop class of- shows concerning
which there has been endless complaint

there was not one death from any couta-

garded From smallpox. sc-lrlet fever.

deaths. This fact serves TO call attention
10 the efficiency Of the methods Of treat
ing these diseases. During the present
outbreak Of smallpox here have been
only three deaths. There are few deaths
from diphtheria, as compared with the
number Of cases treated, and the same IS
true Of scarlet fever and measles. While
there are always cases of contagious dis

Of lot 20, block , Walter C Allen, the
Electrical Engineer, las recommended
that the application be not granted, and
in so doing ne states that while there is
gas on Woodley Street, which is the cen
traI street in the subdivision, the main
was put in almost wholly for the use OF
house consumers. Mr.. Allen informs the
Commissioners that there are no gas
lamps within nearly mile Of the point
mentioned above. and he thinks that it
would be a hardship to the company to
maintain one or Two lamps in this yicin-
ity on account Of the distance to be ira
yersed from existing lamps
Mr.. Allen further states that the Poto-
mac Electric Power Company has a line
Of lights on Woodley Street, and that
there is an existing light at the southwest
corner Of WOOdley and Richmond Streets.
He states that the distance to lot - from
this light is about 320 feet. To erect the
lamp that has been requested, Mr. Allen
states would entail an expense to the
company Of setting up two poles and the
that the proposition as a business one
would appeal TO the company.
The Electrical Engineer. for The reasons
stated recommends that Mr. Spicer be
notified that ct present the surroundings
are such that, in justice 70 the lighting
