is always informed as to the number Of
patients in each free ward in every hos
pital. and when application is made for
admission the ofAee is in a position to
determine to which hospital the patient
should be sent, because it knows the capa-
city of each ward and the number Of
patients therein. and, consequently. the
available room for additional patients.
1T is also informed as to the character
OF patients that each hospital will re-
ceive. The result is that patients sent
to hospitals through this board are not
refused admission, because it is known in

CHARITY SYSTEM
RESULTS IN ECONOMY
Relief Better Applied Than a
Few Years Ago.
Changes Made Result in Concentration of
Medical Work-Card Index Plan
Meets With Approval.

While the calls upon the associated
charities of the city have been very large
during the past winter. it is a fact that
the system by which charity is dispensed
has resulted in economy, and In the ex
tension of relief far beyond what would
have been possible few years ago.
In speaking of this matter, Mr.. George
s. Wilson, secretary to the Board of
Charities, said that the money expended
and the relief given has been greater,
dollar for dollar. than ever before in the
history of the District. Mr.. Wilson spoke
especially of changes introduced in car
ing for the INDECENT sick.
Under a Board.
These changes, he said, have result
ed in concentrating the medical charity
work under the immediate supervision of
the Board OF Charities, and should result
in a more efficient and economical SER
vice. With these changes the board in
augurated a system of card index rec
ords, covering all of the hospitals, the
almshouse, and the insane asylum.
by this system record is kept of
every Individual VINO is received, rs Il
charity patient. in any of these institu-
tions, and in the future the Board of
Charities will be in n position to report
more accurate and full statistics concern
ing this work.
by the card index system the dupli-
cation Of applications and admissions by
the same individual is disclosed, and the
complete record is kept on one card, so
that If one person, as frequently hap
pens. within year be an inmate of sew
eral institutions, these facts would all
show on one card, and the person con-
cerned would be counted as only one de-
pendent person, whereas the system of
counting the number of applications or
admissions frequently results in count
ing the same person several times within
a year, so that no accurate statistics re-
garding the number of dependents cared
for can be obtained.
The board now receives a daily re-
port from each hospital in the District
which receives public appropriation.

MARINES UNDER SUSPICION.
Rugs in Their Possession Thought to
Have Been Stolen.

Westley Perrine and James Elliott,
marines. are suspected OF having broken
into house near Third and Streets
northwest, some time Thursday night.
when the police state a number Of fine
rugs were stolen. The men were arrested
early Saturday forenoon, as they went
about in the disreputable section, carry
ing the rugs with them.
Policeman Jenkins and Special Officer
Hopper, of No. station, discovered the
marines about daylight, acting. as was
said, in suspicious manner. When taken
to the station. neither Perrine nor Ell
lott made an explanation which satisfied
the police.
Both were therefore held, to await fur
ther investigation. The rugs found in
their possession are held for complete
Identification by their owner.
Elwood Kelley. who recently moved
from the Third Street house. and now
lives at 920 F Street northwest, is sup
posed to be the owner of the property.
He has been notified to appear at the

Right to Offer Cross-Bill a
Question.
L0CAR BAR IN A QUANDARY
Hesitate to Proceed in Cases Brought Be-
fore Code Went Into Effect - Courts
Declare Their Readiness to Proceed
With Adjudication.

There is considerable doubt among
many members of the District bar con-
corning the law of divorce in this juris-
diction
There are hundreds of suits for di-
vorce pending in the local courts in
which no move has been made for sew
erai months, or rather since January /,
1902, when the code went into effect.
All these suits were filed before Decem-
Der 81, 1901. under the provision of the
old law which allowed divorce on sew
eral grounds. Final action was not taken
in these cases before the code became
operative, which provides that a divorce
may be granted for only one cause, the
biblical ground.
Hesitancy of Counsel.
During the last month il is understood
that the justices presiding in the equity
branches of the Supreme Court of + the
District, have signified their readiness
TO act upon all phases of the divorce law
whenever called upon to do so by any
member Of the bar. There seems, how
ever, to be some hesitancy on the part
of the practitioners to present any case
by which to test the law and secure
ruling of the court.
member of The bar stated few days
ago that what is wanted is a sweeping
opinion settling the status Of all suits
pending on December 81 last; that is to
say, whether or not they will be consid-
cred and acted unon as under the old
law. Again, a decision is wanted on the
status OF those suits which were filed
during the latter part of December, but
more particularly those which were placed
on record on December 81 last
During the last two days of December
1t Will be remembered that about 200
suits were filed. in which divorce was
asked on the grounds allowed by the old
law. In many of those suits it is con-
tended that the respondents have good
grounds on which to file cross-bilis, but
this they are prevented from doing under
the existing law, except where the sep
aration is asked for on biblical grounds.
Cross Bills Not Filed.
In the great majority of suits for di-
vorce filed on the last two days of De-
cember, 1901, the defendants were not
given notice of the charges against them
until it was too late to file a bill
In only one of the suits filed on December
90 last was a eross-biIl filed before the
old laS became imperative.
In none of the suits filed on December
81 has ss-bill been filed although it
is claimed that the defendants in many
instances have good and sufficient cause
under the old law TO warrant the filing of
q cross-bill
Having been without sufficient notice of
the filing of the suit against them, how
ever, they were debarred this privilege.
The question now asked is: IT, under these
circumstances, they will be allowed TO
file cross-bilis asking for divorce in cases
where divorce is asked for on any but
biblical grounds.
1t is these two questions upon which a
decision of the courts is wanted but
which no one yet has propounded in con-
pection with suit on file.

HEALTH INSPECTOR
WORKED BLUFF GAME
Tells of Narrow Escape at the
Hands of Woman Prop
erty Owner.
Threatened to Beat Him With Hatchet
3 When Gun-Play Was Mentioned
She Wilted.

Some of the experiences of inspectors
of the local Health Department are in
teresting and amusing. One of them was
related to Times reporter yesterday.
About two weeks ago woman residing
in the northwest section of the city COM
planned that another one of her sex who
occupies apartments in the same building
with her was maintaining nuisance in
the way of a defective bath room. She
was apparently much alarmed for her
health, and insisted that action be at
once taken to rectify the alleged evil.
Complained of Herself.
A few days later il was found that this
woman owned the property concerning
which she had complained of. She was
taken into the Police Court. where she
was informed that size must make the
necessary repairs or suffer fine She
was given a certain length of time in
which to perfect the work. Highly indig-
nant she departed, with the promise that
she would fulfill the requirement
One day last week the inspector who
had visited her place previous to issuing
the summons paid second visit to learn
if she was living up to her contract.
When he rang the door bell the woman
answered
Come in. I'm glad you are here. I've
got business with you"
Inspector Mystifed.
The inspector entered. He was mysti-
fed all the more when she locked the
door behind him, put the key in her
pocket, and then carefully bolted another
door and two windows.
Now she said, livid with rage, I've
got you where l want you. By your talk
to the Health Department and the court
you've made me lay out $40 that / needed
for other purposes. You are too fresh,
and I'm going TO make an example OF you
that will free other property owners from
such outrages.
What are you going to do?" enquired
the inspector.
I'm going to chop your head off," said
the irate female as she seized a bright
new hatchet from table. ''I bought this
for you
Threatened to Shoot
Madam" said the frightened health
preserver, you should remember that l.
as a District official, always go armed. If
you come at me with that axe I'll shoot
you
With this he backed toward one of the
barred windows. His intention was to
smash the frame and jump out, but he
was greatly relieved when a plumber who
was - work on the job that created the
trouble gazed up from the outside at him.
Madam" persisted the inspector, 'if
you don't open that door and let me out
I'll call in this man and have you ar
rested"
Pistol Was Bluff.
IN not give you time, exclaimed the
woman, as she started toward her intend
ed victim. His talk about having a pistol
was a bluff, and he thought his time had
come.
But Providence seemed to have been
watching over him, for al this moment a
loud knock sounded on the back door.
The woman wheeled suddenl:-. Then
turning to the inspector she hissed
y ou've got of this time, but Ill fix
yOG vet
With this she opened the door and the
inspector made his escape. He asserts
that this is but one Of several adventures
Of q similar kind that ne has gone
