HEAVY PUBLIC USE OF
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
First Reports of Trustees and Librarian
Since Occupancy of the
Kew Building

The report of the trustees OF the Car
negie Library for the fiscal year ended
June 30. 1903. was made public this
morning The document IS comprehen-
siye. giving n detailed history OF the IN
stitution. with a report OF the librarian.
Weston Flint The report is the first
TO be made since the library has occu-
pied it's new building In Mount Vernon
Square.
There were 214.26i books ISSUED for
home use, OF an average OF I1.ss5
volumes n month. This Is total In
crease over last year OF G5.lf5 volumes
and monthly increase OF 5.92o.
The number OF books In the library at
the beginning of the year was 32,566,
and on June 30. 1903. 5S,621. so that the
average number for the year was about
4, 5e3
This makes the yearly circulation
equal 10 about four and three-fourths
the number OF books I'm the whole IL
brary. The large increase in the circu-
lation has come since the opening Of the
new building in January. The number
of books issued from July to December,
1902. was 1921. while from January TO
July, 1903 the number was IA. GA.
The library was open 2S9 days during
the year. the largest circulation for any
one day being 1870 volumes. and the
smallest 1856. The average daily circula-
ton for the different months. as shown
in the table. has varied from 400 vol
umes In December to 1.051 in March.

In the old building. the average daily
circulation was asa volumes; the re-
naming ia days. in the new building
show daily average of Loo volumes.
This makes an increase Of as per cent IN
the circulation I'm the last six months.
The total amount received in fines
during the year was 81. s94. o. The growth
I'm the use Of the library can be fully
realized from the great increase in the
registration. In 1902. sap persons reg
istered: in 1908, IL .2sS OF this number

whose cards expired during the year

POLICE TO END ABUSES

Major Sylvester Sends Out

ARRESTS ARE TO BE MADE

natural prankish tendencies of human

All this is very romantic and funny
to the perpetrators-but the soul Of the
Police Department, as represented by
the chief. is very prosaic, when II comes
TO a matter of duty, and. whils this
date Is very elusive, and escapes the at
tention of the average citizen, that II
has not escaped his is evidenced by the
following order sent out today by Major
Sylvester:
'Lieutenants: Order your shifting

that persons may be free from insult

GASOLINE QUESTION
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Commissioners Listen to
Opinions of Dealers.
REGULATIONS IN PROSPECT
Spokesman Says Prohibitive Rule
Would Work Hardship on
Some People.

Shall the use OF gasoiene IN dwelling
houses be prohibited in the District Of
Columbia?
This important question was discussed
this morning from every point OF view
by representative grocers. manufactur-
ers. attorneys, and insurance men in
tcrested in the handling of gasolene. at
board hearing granted them by the
Commissioners. Many interesting points
were brought out, including a statement
that 400, goo gallons OF the fluid is con-
sumed in the District annually, 200. 900
gallons OF which is used by the gas
companies to better the quality of their
product.
Attorney w S. Duvall, counsel of the
Automobile Storage Company, sprung a
surprise toward the end of the hearing
by declaring the Commissioners were
without authority to prohibit the sale
or use OF gRsolene IN dwellings. The
Commissioners advised Mr.. DuvalI they
would consult with the Corporation
Counsel, and would not, of course. at
tempt to go beyond their jurisdiction.
How Conflict Started.
The cause of all the trouble is a pro-
posed police regulation prohibiting the
sale OF highly infammable oils which
will burn at a temperature less than 12C
degrees Fahrenheit. I'm buildings used
wholly or in part as dwellings. Kero-
sene or coal oil. Is not included in the
regulation.
A. S. Clarke. chairman of the commit
tee from the Grocers' Protective Asso-
citation. declared the regulation would
work hardship on small grocers who
handled the oil, and added that only
one explosion or fire had occurred within
the past nine years from the storage OF
gasolene In grocery stores, whether
they were occupied in part for dwelling
purposes or not.
Testimony Two Ways.
r. c. Baughman. manager of the
Home OIL Company, spent nearly ar
hour endeavoring to convince the Com.
missioners gasolene is not dangerous 4
properly handled. but he made the dam
aging admission that as so per cent 81
the fluid is used by poor and Ignorant
persons. the chances for properly han
ding it are slender Mr.. Baughmar
declared gasolene to be the poor man.
heat. fuel. light. and power" The Com
missioners did not seem 10 think thi,
fact should estop a regulation promul
gated purposely TO preclude loss of hu
man life. and finally agreed to take tbs
matter under consideration, their de
cision to be announced in few days.
Present at the Hearing.
The Grocers Protective Association
was represented by A. II. Gregory. sec
