ALLEGE INJUSTICE.
Second Hand Dealers Claim They Are
Denied Certain Privileges.

Messrs. Joseph Goldsmith and Louis
Abrahams local second hand dealers, COM
planned recently to Commissioner West
that the second hand dealers are being un-
justly denied privileges accorded to pawn
brokers. They complained that second
hand dealers compelled to include in
their daily transactions the names of per-
sons from whom they purchase old articles.
but that pawnbrokers are not required to
90 this. They requested that the second
hand dealers be allowed the same privileges
of emitting names in reports.
Captain Boardman of the detective bu-
reau recommends that this request be re-
fused and in this recommendation Major
Sylvester concurs. Captain Boardman ex-
plains that pawnbrokers are but temporary
custodians of property, while secondhand
dealers purchase outright and are sole own
ers. Some pawnbrokers. 1t Is explained,
have from 10 to $50 business transactions
daily and there are only seven such bro
kers in the city. all of whom are centrally
located. On the other hand. it is stated.
there are more than sixty secondhand
dealers scattered all over the city. fair
average of their business IS from six to
twelve transactions daily. according to
Captain Boardman. and but little time is
consumed in making out their reports.
Captain Boardman believes 1t Is important
that the names and addresses of persons
selling secondhand goods to the dealers
be given In the daily reports.

ALLEGED FRAUD.
Trickster Victimizes Baltimorean on
Rent Scheme.

clever trick was played in Baltimore
this week it Is said. although not much
money changed hands, and the local police
are expecting it will be attempted in this
city. There was a house on Lombard street
that had been vacant a long time and
sign in the window announced to the public
that the house could be rented or leased.
Opposite the vacant house lived man who
had long nursed the idea that he would
Ike to occupy a fiat. A young man who
had noticed the sign in the window con-
cluded that the conversion of the house
into flats would solve the problem of the
owner and took it upon himself to SO ad-
vertise the property. His sign had been on
the property but a few minutes before an
applicant appeared and arranged to become
tenant the following morning. The would
be tenant signed a lease and paid a months
rent In advance but to his surprise he was
unable to move into the fat the next morn
Ing. He finally found the agent of the
property and learned from him that he had
been victimized Then he sought the police

be no transfer during the coming year.
Rev Jerome Daugherty, s. j., the incum-
bent, has filled the office for three years,
and it is stated that his services at the
head of the institution have proved to be
most acceptable. 1t is further understood
that the position is equally agreeable to
him. 1t had been argued that in view of
Rev. Daugherty's physical condition he
would be transferred to another and more
inviting field, but this has been denied.
Requiem mass was celebrated this morn
ing at ST. Patricks Church over the re-
mains of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth seeker,
whose death occurred Sunday last at her
residence, Oil Sth street northwest. Mrs
Becker came from an old family of that
name which has for years figured promi-
nently in the history of Georgetown.
She was the mother of Mr.. James Becker.
treasurer of Georgetown University. At
the time of her death Mrs. Becker was In
the eighty-fourth year of her age.
Considerable effort is being made by the
merchants and business men In the vicin-
ity of T street northwest to have begin
ming made on the improvements on that
thoroughfare, which have for long time
been contemplated. Business men in this
section say it is not generally understood
why the Commissioners do not authorize
expenditure of the appropriation which was
made for the upbuiiding of I street several
months ago. The improvements are much
needed, the merchants say, and steps are
being taken by them to see If the moneys
appropriated for the purpose cannot be
brought into play.
Mr. Frank Wissner has purchased the en-
tire printing outfit of the Kirkley Printing
Company, at 1882 32d street northwest Mr..
Wissner proposes to enlarge his establish
ment. The first floor of the building he
now occupies he expects to use as law
office.
Found Dead in Bed.
Mr.. Thomas Moreland, aged f1fty-six
years, superintendent at S. c. Palmer's
boiling works, 1906 32d street, was found
dead in bed at his home 3611 o street north
west about $50 o'clock this morning. The
cause of DEATH is is thought, was due to
heart failure. The coroner was notified.
The funeral arrangements will be In charge
of Mr. j., T. Clements, but the details have
not yet been completed.

junction of roads about one mile east of
Charlestown, W. Va. AS soon as practi-
cable after reaching that point this col
umn was to move eastwardly and en-
deavor to prevent the Blue column from
reaching its objective.
With respect to equipment and ammu-
milton the Brown column conformed TO
the provisions set forth as to the Blue
column except that the Brown column
is wearing khaki shirts. Each column
took out one wagon only in addition to
battery wagons. in which was carried
coffee and coffee-cooking utensils. Hired
cooks remained in camp.
Commanding officers of the respective
columns made requsition upon the chief of
ordnance for blank ammunition. and the
issue was made at Z o'clock. The Calling
and HotchkiSs guns were left in camp.
After the noon halt and lunch. the Blue
column was instructed 10 move eaStwardly
to return To camp. to be followed half an
hour later by the Brown column. The Blue
column was to move the rear guard of
an army, and the Brown column to haraSS
and delay the movement and to do its ut
most to cut off the rear guard The return
to camp, Ii was announced, should be ac-
complished by o'clock this afternoon.
1t was ordered that Inspection of am
munition in belts or otherwise on the per-
son of soldiers is of the utmost impor-
tance and must be made by officers The
examination should be rigid and must re-

ammunition must be collected and turned
in promptly to the chief of ordinance. In
this connection attention is once more di-
rected to the necessity for absolute cessa-
ton of firing where opposing soldiers or
lines are within fifty yards of each other.
Violations of this essential rule for safety

FORCE INCREASED.
Seventeen White Bricklayers Employed
at Washington Barracks Today

Seventeen white non-union bricklayers
were added to the contingent at work on
the engineer buildings at Washington bar
racks this morning. increasing the size OF
the force to about forty men. These white
strike-breakers are said to be from Phila-
delphia and other cities. They did not ap-
pear to object to working on the walls with
colored mechanics, and some of them SEEM
ed to be glad to get "a government job"
as they termed 1t.
1--WE have about all the bricklayers we
want now" said an engineer officer this
afternoon. I'VE may take on one or two
more, but that is ALL"
How about the Washington men who
went on the strike-would you take any OF
them back should they apply for work.
asked a Star reporter.
TT is doubtful now If we could re-empIoy
any of them. The strike Is over, so far as
we are concerned, and the work on the
army buildings will 60 r5Dht along"
