HARBoR POLICE BUSY.
Major Sylvester Pleased With Work
on River Front

During the three weeks the police harbor
precinct has been In existence Lieut.. SUIT
ton has been kept busy, and the great
amount of work performed conyince.s Maj.
Sylvester that the department did not es-
tablish the precinct any too soon. Before
the precinct was established the police of
the fourth precinct were charged with the
duty of maintaining order along the river
front and responding to calls needing police
detailed along the south Washington front
of the river, and It was not always an easy
matter to find one of them in case Of
emergency. The fourth precinct station
is some distance from the water front and
time was required to get an officer or two
from there. Now things are different and
an officer is to be had at moments notice.
Assistance has been rendered in cases of
persons in danger of drowning, fights have
been quelled, lost cildren found and injured
persons cared for by the members of the
harbor precinct. The work of the new
precinct with its small number of men, 1t
is believed will be almost as great that
of some of the outlying precincts and the
chief of police is much pleased with the
manner in which the affairs of the precinct
are being conducted

WORKS DISCOMFORT.
Views Of a Citizen Regarding Law
Against CRYING Of Wares.

How would you like to be the Ice man?'
was the inquiry made by one Police Court
spectator of another one day during the
week after Judge Kimball had imposed a
fine upon a man for calling ice In louder
tone than policeman thought he was JUS
titled in using.
Then the court came In for a share of
condemnation because of the imposition of
a fine in such a case With the mercury
lowering about the 100 mark and people
suffering from the intense heat, the spec
tatorS thought any tone was not too loud
when 1T was intended to attract attention
to the chunks of frozen water.
ut makes a fellow cool when he hears
man say ice," said one of the spectators,
even If he hasn't the price. and IT makes
him hot In more ways than one to get out
side the front door in time to the ice
wagon disappear when he has the price and
wants to buy. One day last week when
the weather was hot enough to cause suf-
fering l remained about the house and
wanted Ice iii the worst way, but not once
cid l hear the welcome voice of the ice
man. Had such dealer come along and
made known his presence in the neighbor-
hood by calling ice L would have been re-
lieved of some suffering. 1t is hard TO con-
ceive how any person could be annoyed
by such cry in hot weather and It is
equally hard to imagine why such per-
son should be arrested"

Under Two Charges.

Luigi PalitanO. twenty-five years old. who
was employed as a laborer in the railroad
tunnel in Southeast Washington, has totally
disregarded the warnings posted about the
railroad works for the purpose of giving
the foreigners an idea of laws that they
are supposed to respect. These signs are
printed in Italian and are posted ali over
the area in which the railroad laborers are
employed. Special attention is directed to
the laws relating to the carrying of deadly
weapons. specifically naming pistols, dag
gers and dangerous knives Palitano has
served a sentence In jail for carrying a re-
volver, and now he is under arrest upon
charges of carrying a stietto and larceny.
Policeman Oriani was told that he had OBJ
tanned 81 from Bernard Mike, who has
charge of the commissary at the camp OF
laborers. He is charged with having OBJ
tanned the money by making alleged false
representations to him. When Policeman
Oriani was told that Palitano was about to
leave the city he went to the depot and ar
rested him. In his pocket the policeman
found the alleged dangerous weapon. Then
the two charges were preferred against him
and he was locked up at the fifth precinct
He will be given hearing in the Police
Court tomorrow.

CASUALTY HOSPITAL WORK.
Great Improvement Follows Installa
ton Of Ambulance.

The police of the districts In the eastern
section of the city appreciate the work done
by the Casualty Hospital during the hot
weather. 1t was not until the hospital got
an ambulance that 1t was able to make
known it's real worth to the police and
residents Of the section mentioned. The
many runs made by the ambulance not only
relieved the patrol wagons of the extra
amount of work, but also made it possible
for sick and injured persons to reach the
hospital sooner. The change is appreciated
by persons in need of medical treatment.
and there has been an increase in the num-
Der of sick and injured patients since the
ambulance service was installed.

WANTS WORK HURRIED.
Policeman Hopes for Early Completion
of Police Court Building.

Members of the police force who fire.
quently appear in the Police Court as wit
nesses are not anticipating much comfort
from occupying the temporary court build
ing on 18th street. and are anxious that
the new building should be finished in as
short time as possible.
II hope the work will be pushed ahead
the same as If the building We're to be
used by private firm and not by the gov
eminent" one of the policemen remarked
to a Star reporter. IF the judges OF the
court will adopt a few rules and make
them effective" he added, conditions will
not be so bad. There are always many
people in court who have no business there.
but who are attracted there through idle
curiosity and such people should be kept
out. 1t would not be a difficult matter to
do this If the court would insist that a
blank summons be given each person want
at the door of the court. A little discretion
about admitting others would result in
decreasing the daily attendance and make
the matter of attending court less OBJ
jectionable to those who have business
there"
Some members of the police force were
somewhat surprised at the request made
by the judges of the Police Court for a
detail of ten men at the temporary quar-
tiers of the Police Court. Five policemen
are detailed there regularly and there are
as many more bailiffs and others there who
are supposed to assist the court. A DO
Hceman, In conversation with a Star re-
porter, said he thought there are already
too many policemen detailed about the
court The bailiffs, he stated have short
hours and most Of them are permitted to
leave the building long before the police
men are. He thought there are bailiffs
enough about the court to keep the people
straight without calling upon the police.

Cured Thursday at Garfield Hospital after

DIR. Roberts succumbed to illness which
he contracted about three weeks ago. He
had previously enjoyed most perfect health
and his sudden death came as shock to
wide circle of his personal and profess
sional friends who were unaware of his
critical condition. His removed to the sea-
shore shortly before he expired, 1t was
thought, would benefit him to some ex-
tent. The elixir of the sea air did not APP
pear to improve his condition and he grew
worse steadily. He was brought back to
Washington last Wednesday and his death
occurred the following day.
DR.. Roberts was sixty-three years of age
at the time of his death. He was native
of Seneca Falls N. Y, but removed to
Washington at comparatively an early age
and had resided here for forty years, most
of which time he was engaged In the prac-
tice of medicine His elementary training
was received at Geneva, N. Y.
When the north and south clashed in the
early sixties he was yet in young man
hood and when the time for decisive action
arrived and the call for volunteers was
sounded he volunteered on the side of the
Union. He enlisted at the outbreak OF hos
tilities in the 126th New York Infantry as
hospital steward, and when this enlistment
expired he served in the medical corps of
the army. Some time after coming to this
city at the close of the war he served as
chief in the bureau of Indian affairs
