fire drills have been resumed Calls to quar-
tiers on the steamers may be sounded at any
time, and the men are required to know
their stations and are ready to act promptly

Protest Filed.

The Commissioners have forwarded to the
corporation counsel a brief filed by Attor-
neys Baker and Sheriff. in the case of Po-
liceman Charming Edwards, who was ad-
judged not guilty of non-payment of debt.
The plea set up by Edwards was that the
debt was contracted by his wife, after he
had published notice not to extend credit to
her. The trial board acquitted Edwards In
the face of a Judgment against him. The
corporation counsel. acting upon the
papers. recommended that the trial board
be instructed to reconsider it's action and
return a verdict of guilty. Edwards attor-
neys have now filed a brief protesting
against this action. and the matter is re-
ferred to the corporation counsel.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
From reports that appear in the daily
papers frequently we are led to believe
that the harbor police are very viglant in
enforcing the law against Illicit fishing and
shooting on the Potomac within the Dis
trict Of Columbia: yet I learn from I'M
questionable sources that seines are being
hauled daily on the bar opposite Giesboro'
and in Four Mile run, and last Monday
morning five swivel guns were fired off
-Four Mile run at ducks and that over fifty
We're killed with such guns, and that these
swivel-gun fellows, with their boats and
outfit, laid in wait since last Friday, wait
ing an opportunity to get shot at large
flock of mallards that have been feeding
there for some days.
