SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
Eugene o. knight, Bartender, Charged
With EmbeHzIement.


With Emil bezzIement.
Eugene o. Knight, twenty-five years old,
was taken into custody at Leonardtown,
st. Mary's county, Md, yesterday by De-
tective Flather and brought here to an
swer charge Of embezzlement. The ar
rest was made on a warrant sworn out by
Frank p. Hall alleging a shortage of 500.
The case was called IN the Police Court
today and the defendant waived an eX-
animation. He was held in $1,000 security
to await the action of the grand jury.
Friends arranged to give the bond later
in the day.
knight was employed as bartender in
Mr.. Halls restaurant, at 7th and K streets
southwest, and he admits that he squan-
dered a considerable amount of his employ
er's money at card playing. Just how much
he spent in this way he does not know. 1t
is claimed by his employer that the amount
will reach something like $500, but knight
insists he did not spend SO great an
amount.
In addition to being the bartender the
young man was virtually the manager of
the place. AS he had come here from
Leonardtown highly recommended, his en-
ployer had the greatest confidence in him
1t was not until he noticed shortage in
his stock room without corresponding
increase in his proceeds that he became
suspicious. He then started an investiga-
ton and discovered, 1t is said, that Knight
had been advertising himself as a whole
sale dealer and had sold liquor by the
gallon at less than cost Boxes of cigars
had been sold, he said in the same way
and soon after knights services had been
dispensed with the young man left for his
home near Leonardtown.
The warrant was issued and Detective
Flather found Knight at his fathers home
yesterday. He returned with him last
night after a drive of nearly forty miles
to catch a train. Knight spent last night
in the first precinct station.

ELEVATORS IN DISTRICT
ANNUAL REPORT OF INSPECTOR
LAWSON SUBMITTED. ..-s
Amendments to Regulations RECON-
mended-Laws Inadequate to the
Proper Supervision of Service.

The annual report of A. NJ. Lawson, the
inspector of elevators, has been transmit
ted to the District Commissioners, through
the Inspector of buildings Mr.. Lawson
details the work of the past year as fol-
lows: New elevators installed, 80; con-
demnat;on of elevators during installation,
y; elevators examined, 923; elevators con-
demned, for repairs, 2G1; fire escapes erect
ed, II; fire escape condemnations during
erection, IL; fire escapes ordered (compul-
sory), 3; steam boilers installed, A; steam
engines Installed, 16; gas engines installed,
IL: gasoline engines installed, /; bake
ovens erected, 2: buildings examined under
the fire escape law, 1c2; lights, gongs and
fire signals ordered in buildings, &; heating
apparatus examined, 43; miscellaneous con-
formations, T2; total number of visits
made, 1,562
Inspector Lawson urges the adoption OF
number of amendments to the building
regulations in reference to elevators:
Il deem it advisable to urge the adoption
of these amendments because the regula-
tionS now in force are not sufficiently
stringent to properly govern the construc-
ton and erection of elevators IN the Dis
trict of Columbia. This office has no record
of the sizes of ropes, types of safeties. etc,
in relation to elevators now in use. Here
tofore the construction has been SO at vari-
ance and very little time given to consider
the carrying capacities OF the car, the
weights to be sustained. etc. that it has
been practically impossible to get uni
form service. 1 believe the amendments
submitted will materially assist in faciii-
tating the regular inspections.
Rapid Increase in Number.
THE rapid increase in the number of
elevators he says, lis making it practt-
cally impossible for one man to visit all the
plants once in three months and make the
necessary critical inspections to insure
public safety
Fffty-five inspections were made and ap-
plications disapproved.
The following summary shows the distri-
button of improvements in the different
