ALLEGATIONS AGAINST POLICE.
DR.. ]. N. johnson Charges "Needless
Oppression" Of Colored People.

The Commissioners today received
communicat ton from DR.. J. N. Johnson
president of the National Colored peoples
Cooperative Beneficial Union, containing
a complaint against the treatment by the
police of the city of colored residents ana
charging that the officers neediessly op-
press colored people in the District ana
testify falsely against them in the Police
Court
Among other things in his complaint, the
writer says:
you will find that no respectable colored
person seriously charges prejudice any
where around here except In the Police
Court department. do not believe the chief
has race prejudice, but he has become irrl-
tated by the frequent complaints and pc
Iieves the policemen are imposed upon.
Haste in the Police Court permits any
amount Of false swearing, and poor colored
people languish in prison while the false
swearer stalks about In uniform drawing
his pay and calling for more. The Buckner
woman and her daughter were beaten IN
their rooms and dragged into the alley
and the officer swore they were dtsorderly
and resisted and assaulted an officer. The
woman served two months In a workhouse
that the decisions of the higher courts say
cannot lawfully hold prisoners except after
trial by jury and indictment by grand jury.
Her daughter Is serving SIX months
Johnson cites other cases purportIng TO
show that officers impose on negro families
and he contends that officers have not the
right to enter a house to arrest without
warrant or to settle family quarrels of the
ordinary kind, which practice he says has
more than once been denounced from the
Supreme Court. ~
He adds: IT was panied to hear the
declaration that a negro with a bal police
record could not place an officer on trial.
That is an advantage not enjoyed by Of
ficers in Mississippi and it BODIES no good
in this quarter. If the Commissioners will
accept my offer for trial of cases hereto
fore nreSSed we will convict of false swear
ing and show unavenged murder. unjust
imprisonments and heavy wrongful fines.
Negroes are now universally pushed 10 the
last ditch with the presumptuous PROPOSAL
to constitutionally declare them outside the
pale of the law. The majority here are
poor and miserable. They are used as scape-
goats to benefit men themselves of little
use to the community. Our police force is
generally efficient and deserves credit along
many lines. This does not mean that
few may do what they please

Dawson Still at Large.

The Baltimore police have SO far failed
to capture Dr. Edward Brisbane Dawson
the dentist, who was indicted last Satur-
day on four charges Of alleged felonious
assault on small girls. as heretofore pub
lished In The Star. He was born in Flush
ing, N. Y, but spent many OF his younger
days in Flatbush. His Indictment proved
to be severe shock to His many friends
in Baltimore. At Forest Park, where he
lived, he had been the leader Of a church
choir and a liberal contributor to the
church funds. Since leaving Baltimore,
it Is stated. he visited new York and
Brooklyn. although the police say he had

lean party. He asserted that the party

Petition for Change in Name.

Pinney David Krutkowitz and his wife,
Fannie Krutkowitz, who reside at 1876 14th
street, today petitioned the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia to change their
name from Krutkowitz to Root
The reason for asking that the change be
made is that the petitioners "have children
and not single one of them can pronounce
the name, krutkowitz, correctly" 1t is
also pointed out that In his business trans
actions Mr. Krutkowitz often finds 1t dill
cult to make his customers understand his
name and pronounce 1t properly.
The petition was filed through Attorn ,ys
Wilson & Barksdale.

not taken as an evidence of a desire for simple life, but as an evidence of a desire to avoid conventonalites and a fleeing from the restraints of society. The trou- ble is that in speaking of society the term has become to mean, in the minds of most persons, the concentrated effort of a number of persons to keep themselves amused and keep others from participat- ing In the slightest from sharing in the benefits to be obtained from their coneen- trated efforts.
 Of course society has another and broader meaning, but for the purpose of ordinary discussion there is but one socie- ty, and that is the element that finds it. self and it's doings carefully chronicled in its columns in the daily press.
 The luxurious living the elegant homes and the comforts that are provided in the home of the rich man of today have in a way hurtful influence for the young. Habits of effemnancy and self-indul- gence just when the young persons should be building up habits of energy and concentration upon the work he has to do and if we are to succeed, our na- lures must be disciplined and energized.
 pr. Adler advises the rich to live as if they were not wealthy and he deplores the lack of simplicity in the education of children. Another contention of his Is that the upper classes do not show a proper respect for the poor. This is in- deed a glaring fault In the American life. While we have no legal recognition of difference in social position it is undeni- able that wealth has demanded for itself a recognition and consideration that is bound to arouse antagonism of the man who has not wealth.
 The literature of the day has little in it to encourage simpler lives. Cheap papers print cheap stories by cheap writ CT who describe a luxurious existence and build up in the r1inds of the ignorant false hopes and false ideals. There is nothing truer than the assertion that the multitude of books that have been thrown upon the pubic by irresponsible and indifferent publishers have generated a most unhealthy literature appetite-it cannot be called taste and the tenden- cy of all these publications is to divert the mind as far as possible from the ap- preeiatlon and realization of life that is simple in any of it's features.

RuNlnu Rock Island.

Men who realized extraordinary profits in the buying of Atchison, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Baltimore and Ohio and other stocks of that grade a few years ago have been for quite a time back put ting money into Rock Island, the Read ing and Erie issues, Southern railway, Chesapeake and Ohio, and Southern Pa cifc. They anticipate therefrom returns as large as were made in the earlier in- vestements named. Not only is the west ern and southern country filling up and the volume of traffic increasing in conse- quence, but the volume of money Is be- coming greater and the tendency of quo- tations Is uneontrolably upward as ir- resistibly so as the tide. Minor disturb ances and reactions will doubtless occur, but they cannot affect the general grand result of stem the universal movement, The policy of the leaders in the money world will be to check and guide rather than to attempt arbitrary control of the grand movement, the impulse of which everybody feels.
