RoWDYIsM FORBIDDEN.
Police Will Prevent "Hooliganism" on
the Streets

Major Richard Sylvester, the superin-
tendent of police; today stated to Commits
sioner West that he had issued instruc-
tions to the lieutenants of the various pre-
cincts to keep a sharp lookout for rowdy-
ism on the streets tonight, and to prevent
it as far as possible. Major Sylvester has
determined that the merchants shall be
protected in their Christmas eve selling,
and the instructions have been issued main
" with that purpose in view. OF course,
the parading Of orderly persons downtown
will not be stopped. The Christmas eve
scenes on the business streets are very in
teresting. as a rule, and many persons an
nually witness them.
The police will look out for the noisy
persons however, and will make arrests in
cases where unusually large horns are
blown, either in near the entrances to
stores and places of business. In the past
the merchants have on the evening before
Christmas been harrassed by an unthink-
ing crowd of boys and men In way that
it has been decided shall not be allowed
again. Crowds of people have collected
about their places blowing horns, and some
have even ventured within the stores to
make their noises.
The action of Major Sylvester and the
approval of the Commissioners is in line
with the editorial in The Star last evening
calling attention to the fact that some
check should be placed upon the rowdies
Of the crowds.

Jack Sheppard lived there when 'serv-

his name was carved by himself on

beam is now being transferred to the
