May Purchase Old Pump House.

Engineer Commissioner Biddle has stated
to his associates that the abandoned pump
house next to the seventh precinct police sta
ton can be used by the police department
If it is thought worth while to make such
repairs to 1t as will be necessary for it's
use for such purpose. He suggests also
that If the police department finds it has
a permanent need for this piece of land
that an item be inserted in the estimates
for the coming year to transfer it from the
water to the police department.
The superintendent Of the water depart
ment, w. A. Mcfarland, recommended that
the use of the old pumping station prop
erty on @ street as a stable for the police
department be not authorized He stated
that it was the wish of the water depart
ment to sell that property and apply the
proceeds of the sale to the equipment of
the pumping station now under construc-
ton. For this reason Col. Biddle recon-
mended that the District attempt to pur-
chase the site.

CITY AND DISTRICT.
Claims 500 Reward.

Detective Murphy of Elizabeth NJ, called
at police headquarters yesterday and saw
Captain Boardman. His visit was paid
to the police official for the purpose of
making inquiries concerning a reward said
to have been offered for the arrest of
francesca Bruno. Bruno was arrested for
the killing of Farmer Brownell near Bowie
last winter. His arrest in Elizabeth was
made in a saloon conducted by an Italian.
and he was brought back by Constable
Arthur B. Suit. Detective Murphy claims
that he is entitled to the reward of 800
and an additional $50 for expenses. He was
referred to States Attorney Levin.
The detective called on the legal repre-
sentative of Prince Georges county and
stated his claim. 1t is likely that the
claim will be laid before Judge Merrick
and the county commissioners.

the police throughout the city because Of
the number of times which she has been
arrested, appeared in the dock in Judge
Kimball's branch of the court yesterday
wearing f1aring red waist, black hat and
dark skirt.
NO I'm not guilty. she snapped after
Clerk Harper had arraigned her on a
charge of vagrancy.
What about Annie this timer the court
asked Policeman Adams.
Shes been drinking again and was
locked up at the station house three times
last week because she was unable to take
care of herself" the officer answered.
mo 1 wasn't drunk Annie declared.
"She was in a fearful condition when
took her in charge Saturday night and
she is not able to walk yet" Officer Adams
continued.
I've heard Of liquor affecting the head
but not the feet" was the information
volunteered by Prosecutor Pugh
That's not because l drank too much"
Annie declared, but because I'm sick"
Sixty days. and let her be given hospi-
tai treatment" was all that the court had

The Cat Nuisance.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The effort that is being made to have the
Commissioners levy tax on cats will not
prove a successful means of destroying
stray felines In the first place, it will only
work hardship on the owners Of valuable
cats who keep them confined. These cats
being well fed and receiving proper atten-
ton, are not nuisance or a menace to
health. 1t will only cause the owners Of
common cats to put them out, thereby ag-
gravating the evil When an attempt is
made to enforce this tax 1t will prove ira
possible for the officers to prove the owner
ship of these stray cats Tramp cats do not
stroll around in the daytime; 1t is only at
night they give tilefrifamous back fence act
with vocal selections. Cat catchers will
have to be gifted with night eyes and won
derful agility to- capture one Of these old
FOUNDERS" Amy pne who has ever at
tempted the capture of one of these tramp
cats can bear witness that it is difficult
matter to get within striking distance. By
all means let usshave this tax If it can be
enforced with justine to all, but any one
who knows their habits will agree with me
that such will prove impossible.

CHASED AuroMoB111sr.
Bicycle Policemen Had an Exciting
Ride

Bicycle Policeman Green and Walsh of
the second precinct had an exciting chase
after an automobilist Sunday afternoon,
and it was not until they had covered some
distance that they apprehended the opera
tor of the buzz car"
The chase began at 1st and Q streets
northwest and continued through the
streets to 4th and A streets southeast, the
distance being covered in four minutes.
and the speedometers used by the officers
registered as high as twenty-five miles an
hour at times during the wild ride. When
overtaken the man gave his name as Jo-
seph E. kimbergt, but later it was found
out that he was Joseph E. Talk, a commits
sion merchant in business near the corner
of 9th street and Louisiana avenue His
excuse was that he was hurrying to get
home out of the rain. He deposited so
collateral at the station house, and when
the case was called in the Police Court yes
terday it was continued.
