money from his employers, enough to pay
doctors bills and living expenses. Failing
to get anything the young man became

ped in drug store his way home and
asked for three ounces of carbOlic acid.

to use it for diSinfecting purposes. In re-
Spouse to the druggists inquiries Seay
said his name was J. H. Green and that he
lived on 9th street northwest between E

GETS LONG SENTENCE.
George King Convicted on Charges of
Larceny.

An advertisement for a lost dog printed
in one of the local papers Monday by De-
tective Edward Horne led to the arrest
yesterday of George King by Detectives
Horne and Hartigan on two charges of
larceny, and also an attempt to commit
petit larceny. King came here to attend
the races, and claims that he exercises
horses at the race track. His scheme was
to watch the lost advertisements in the
local papers and pick out the name and ad-
dress of persons advertising for lost dogs.
Those who inserted such advertisements
received later note from a person claim
ing to have found the dog described. The
writer stated that he wanted no reward,
bearer of the note who. In some instances,
was King himself but at other times he
sent boy. When the party who received
the note tried to locate the number given
he was unable to find 1t, and the police re-
ceived number Of complaints. Detectives
Horne and Hartigan were detailed by Cap
tain Boardman to conduct an investiga ton
and yesterday King was arrested when he
called at Detective Hornes residence.
King told Judge Kimball in the Police
Court this morning that he met man on
the street who asked him to deliver the
notes for him.

leans with the races, and IL you give me
the chance I'll leave at once"

added, "to steer clear Of Washington in the

RESTITUTION OF PROPERTY.
Proposed Amendment to Statute Re-
garding Larceny Gases.

The District Commissioners today receiv-
ed an opinion from Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the
city solicitor. in regard to the suggestion
by Judge Kimball of the Police Court that
an amendment be made to section S27 Of
the District code so as to provide for resti-
tuition of property in petty larceny cases
Mr. Duyall says such restitution was for
merly provided for in section 1913 of the
Revised Statutes, and he agrees with Judge
kimball that there should be such an
amendment as is suggested. The object of
the amendment may be obtained by add
ing the following to section S27:
And In all convictions for larceny, either
grand or petty, the trial justice may in his
sound discretion, order restitution to be
made of the value of the money or prop
erty shown to have been stolen by the per-
son convicted and made way with or other
wise disposed of and not recovered
The Commissioners will approve this
draft of the amendment and forward it to
Congress with request for early action.

piled to the District Commissioners for the
adoption of a regulation requiring the re-
moval of hasets from the carcasses of
sheep and lambs slaughtered for sale in
the District of Columbia. DR.. Woodward
the health officer. recently reported against
such regulation taking the ground that
it was not useful or reasonable. He said
such regulation was not necessary for the
protection of health. Mr.. Thomas cites in
his second application the fact that such
regulations the retail butchers desire
in this city are in operation in Baltimore.
