July 13 and was buried at sea. Her friends
in New York recently learned the facts by

POLICE FORCE CHANGES
BUT FEW MADE, AND THESE NOT
IMPORTANT.

Many members of the police force were
disappointed today when they learned that
there would be no changes of Importance
made by Maj. Sylvester the Commits
sioners. 1t was thought there might posi-
bly, be one or two retirements announced or
some important promotions made, but in
this they were mistaken. TIL emost import
ant change was in the matter of Lieut.
Schneider taking charge of the seventh pre-
cinct, as was anticipated several days ago.
and .the reutrn of Lieut. Shilling to the
duties of night inspector. There was
nothing surprising in this, as Lieut. Shilling
only took charge of the Georgetown pre-
cinct temporarily because of the illness of
Lieut.. Jordan. who was retired.
Policeman Forteney of the second pre-
cinct gave up his bicycle today to return
to street duty. The change was made at
the officers own request He has been do
ing excellent work in the precinct in the
matter of experimenting alleged thieves and
it is thought he may be better fitted for
the work by being a footman. Bicycle
Policemen w s. Shelby of the second
precinct and jeremiah Mccarthy of the
sixth precinct exchanged places.
Transfers Ordered.
+. l.. Fletcher of the fifth precinct is to
be mounted upon a wheel in the place of
Policeman Hoagland. who has accepted a
detail at the Police Court, relieving Geo
W. Morgan who has been an efficient and
faithful officer in the work of ooring for
prisoners. c. F. Montgomery gets a wheel
mount and will perform duty in the sec
ond precinct and Bicycle Policeman j. F.
{. Nebb is transferred from the tenth to
the ninth precinct l. S. Vanderwalker
and G. e. Brandenberg of the ninth pre-
cinct will hereafter do duty in the second
and fourth precincts, respectively.
No action has yet been taken by the
Commissioners upon the recommendation
OF Major Sylvester that Mounted Police
man BmnZell and Bicycle Policemen
Kleindienst and w. C. Farquhar be dis
mounted on account of the recent trip to
Baltimore. In view of the acquittal of
Policeman kleindienst it is thought he
Will not be dismounted. The most seri-
Gus charge against him in connection
with the Baltimore affair is that he es-
capped from the police station. In view
of the ending of his case yesterday his
friends think he was more than justified
in quitting the station. They make the
plea that he had been arrested without
justification.

Summary of the Report.

His annual report, which accompanies
the estimates, Chief Belt summarizes as
follows:
During the year 584 bell alarms were
sounded, increase of "a over the pre-
ceding year. OF the 564 alarms received,
% were false, decrease of 6 over last
year. There were sounded during the year
4l6 local\aiarms, decrease of 100 as COM
pared with the preceding year. There were
no false local alarms. The total decrease
In false alarms over last year is 49,
The estimated loss involved by the 564
bel: alarms amounted to $177.7SS. and the
estimated insurance amounted to 1902, :
$50. The estimated loss involved by the
4l6 local alarms amounted to s43344 and
the estimated insurance to S294 951
The total estimated loss for the year
amounted to S221, 1872. or over Is per cent
OF the total Insurance, which amounted to
81, 59T, 731.
over one-half of the total fire loss during
the year was due to three fires These were
Downey's livery stable, which occurred in
october and involved a loss of $4,000; the
buildings of the new filtration plant in No
Metropolitan Club House in December,
which involved a loss of $S5. These
fires occurred. it will be noticed, in three
consecutive months.
During the past year the department
has caused special attention to be given to
the inspection of mercantile houses, hotels
and theaters, as well as TO the storage and
sale of kerosene gasoline and other in
fiammable oils Many hazardous conditions
have been obliterated through the excellent
service performed by the small force de-
tailed for this line of work.
THE pension roll ending for the fiscal
year June 30, 1905, shows an amount drawn
per month of $1.919, The pension roll of
June 30, 1904, showed the amount of PEN
sions drawn monthly to be $1,TS4. or s135
less per month than for the fiscal year just
ended {"

The Chinese Boycott.

Those who are familiar with the situa-
ton in China in regard to the boycott of
American goods, predict that the conees-
sions made to the Chinese by the President
will have the effect of encouraging them
and bolsterng up the retalitory movements
1t has been made apparent to the almond
eyed foreigners that this country has been
hit by the boycott, so hard, in fact, that
extraordinary steps have been taken to
bring 1t to an end. Members of the Chinese
legation here declare that the action of
President Roosevelt in admonishing the i'm
migration officials does not touch the root
OF the evil. and that it can have no effect
on the boycott. They are feeling very con-
fident just now and look for bigger victories
later.

In his miscellaneous estimates Chief Belt
asks Tor amounts ranging from 81 600 to

Benning; a combination engine and truck
company to be located north of Florida
avenue between Rock Creek and 18th
