MUST TAKE OUT LICENSES.
Theatrical Agents Reduced to EN-
ploynent Bureau Status.

NEW YORK. July S.-The 800 theatrical
agencies in New York city were today re-
duced TO the status of common employ
ment bureaus, by order of the appellate d.
vision of the supreme court.
In the test case the court ordered the
theatrical agents to take out licenses, thus
bringing them under the regulations of the
employment agency law, which fixes the
maximum fee to be charged patrons. The
atrical agents have contended that the
theatrical profession was exempt from or
binary employment regulations, and this
contention included their right to charge
actors whatever they pleased for positions.
The test case was decided against James
j. Armstrong.

VIRGINIAN ASSAULTED.
Held Up by Three Men, Robbed and
Beaten

NORFOLK, Va. July S.-News has been
received here that Harvey Booker, mer-
chant of Hampton Roads, Va, visiting in
New York for the first time, was held up
and robbed by three negroes, one the driver
of a cab he had hired, and the other two
confederates of the hackman, in West
32d street, between 9th and 9TH avenue,
early this morning. A wallet containing
$40 and some papers was stolen from him.
He was badly beaten by the highwaymen,
though they used no other weapons than
their fists, and his right foot was pain
fully injured when the driver, to help his
confederates, drove the cab so that
wheel passed over it. All three of Book
er's assailants got away. He did not tell
the police himself, but after he had man
aged to hobble to the Hotel Imperial, at
32d street and Broadway, where he is
staying, he told friends Of his experience
and they informed Capt. Cottrell of the
"Tenderioin" station. Two detectives are
now on the case.

4 NEW SCHEDULE
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ALExAN-
DR1A AND MT. VERNON R. r.

The managers of the Washington, Alex
andria and Mt. Vernon railway propose to
greatly improve the electric train service
between this city and Alexandria, and are
now preparing a schedule that calls for
trains from each end about every fifteen
minutes, and during the rush hours Of the
day they are even closer together This
schedule Superintendent Colvin, 1t is stated.
expects to put in service next Sunday, and
work will be pushed on the double track
across Four Mile run, in order to have it
ready for service by that time, as the new
schedule Is arranged for double-track serv-
ice and does not allow for waits for trains
to pass each other. Much of the filling-n
across Four Mile run has been completed,
and the men were yesterday engaged IN
placing the ties and rails in position. To-
morrow morning pile-drtving machine
will start the work Of driving the piles
across the river for the trestle that Will
be built. This trestle is but about fifty
feet long and only a few days will be re-
quired for the building of it. When the
half mile of track remaining to be built
Is completed the road will be double-track-
ed from Alexandria to Arlington juno
ton, leaving that part, less than two miles,
from the junction to the new Highway
bridge to be double-tracked this fall. This
work. 1t is understood, will be started as
soon the approach to the bridge from
the Virginia side is completed sufficiently
to allow the building of the new tracks to
the bridge
The equipment of the Washington, Alex
andria and Mt. Vernon road is also to be
improved by the addition of two new motor
cars, which are expected to arrive here be-
fore the list of August The cars were or
dered several months ago, and were to have
been delivered before this time, but there
has been delay in building them. The
equipment for them arrived at Four Mile
run power house several days ago. The
new motors will be of the same pattern re-
Gently purchased by the Mt. Vernon road
and will be up-to-date cars.
In addition to this several of the old
motor cars have been thoroughly over
hauled and equipped with powerful electric
motors, so that the rolling stock of the
road is in condition to give efficient serv-
ice and to successfully maintain the new
and much-improved schedule. AS fast as
possible all of the old cars now in service
to be retired for time to be prac-
tically rebuilt SO that when they are again
put in service they will be as good as new
cars When the improvements in contem-
plation are completed on the Alexandria
road the company will have invested over
500, 900, in addition to the original invest
men- when the road was built, and every
effort will be made not to give its patrons
any just cause to complain.

HELD FOR THEFT.
Man and Wife Arrested for Taking
Sample Case.

BOSTON, July S.-Police inspectors this
afternoon arrested Michael Burnham,
otherwise known as Frank Riley. and his
wife Elizabeth of New York in connection
with the theft of a salesman's sample
case containing jewelry valued at several
thousand dollars. The police say that
Burnham informed them he took the case
from David Nathan, a salesman of 65
Nassau street, New York, more than IL
week ago
Burnham was employed as porter at
the Cortlandt street station of the Penn
sylvania railroad in that city. and accord
ing to the story he is alleged to have told
the inspectors Nathan gave him the case
to carry to 60 Nassau street. Instead, he
took 1t home and then came TO Boston.
He engaged rooms at the lodging house
of Charles f. Adams in South Boston, and
It is alleged that he and his wife disposed
of some of the jewelry. Adams became
suspicious of the couple and notified the
police, who, on searching Burnhams
room today, found the sample case. In it
were several thousand dollars worth of
rings and unset stones. The exact value
of the goods is not known. The couple
were then arrested.

PLAYGROUND SPACE
A LESSON FROM GERMAN CITIES
FOR WASHINGTON.

Apropos of the increasing Interest In tho
prhlic Fairgrounds of Washington the for
etgn and editorial division OF the bureau OF
education furnishes a statement concerning
the space per thousand Inhabitants which
the principal cities OF Germany have set
aside for that purpose. The German COM
puiauon of one child for every five per-
sons allows school for every thousand OF
the population. The idea is to supply these
schools of two hundred pupils with a max
inum playground space. In addition for
public Fairgrounds the following table. ex-
pressed In square meters. practically
square yards shows the amount of ground
per thousand inhabitants already set of:
Hanover 1.S2i square meters; Breme II.
Isis; Munich. l69l; Altoona. 1913; Magde-
burg, 1.dl9: Leipsic. LIE: Halle IU3i.
Dresden. loo; Braunschweig, LEO: Stuff
CART, S21: Elberfeld, GIG; Barmen 80;
Frankfurt. 5ll; Dusseldorf. 474: Konigs-

lau. 300; Crefeld. 2ssb: Chemnitz. 223; Dam
zio. 222; Hurnberg. 2lo; Aix-la-Chapelie.
2l5: Charlottenburg. lbs; Dortmund I2I;
Cologne, 1862: Berlin 81, and Hamburg. 81
These figures are particularly interesting
when IL Is remembered that II Berlin has
put aside hfiy-seven square meters per
thousand for playground purposes her 200 =
900 people enjoy about 80 acres of open
space for games, breathing and general
physical development. II will be seen that
smaller German cities have apparently
made even larger allotments of ground
Hanover, with its ] .S21 square meters, lead
Ing the list. This, according to the bureau
of education should be an instructive ex-
ample for Washington, stll young enough
to reserve In what I'm time will become her
most densely populated sections spaces for
the recreation needs of her people WASH
ington is about one-sxth the size OF Ber-
lin, and the forty acres which would he the
proportionate amount of space to be given
up In accordance with the German ideals is
still to lie striven for with vigor.

son Wise. charging him with allowing a
man whom he knew to be a nonresident
to register and vote in the primary. And
this same voter. L. X. Culberson, is said
to not only have voted in the primary
but that he acted as a CLERK on the day
OF election, being pressed into service by

on the part of Wise and Culberson.
If the grand Jury indict the men the
chances are that they will receive little

in case Of conviction, are severe, the law
providing for a term in the penitentiary
and heavy fines. The primary was he'd

CRUISE OF THE DIANA
UNPLEASANT RETURN FROM A
PLEASURE TRIP.
Experience of Gen. Crozier and His
Two Guests on the Formers
Steam Yacht

Lieut.. Gen. Chaffee. chief of staff; Gen.
Crozier. chief of ordnance. and Capt. Charles
b. Wheeler of the ordnance department,
had thrilling experience In the lower
waters of the Potomac during the past
week. Several days ago they made pleas
ure trip to Yorktown. Va, In Gen. Crozlers
small steam yacht Diana. with the full in
tention of returning to this city by Wednes-
oay morning at the latest.
All went well until they entered the Poto-
mac from the bay. but after that 1t seemed
as If fate and the elements had conspired
against them. Storm after storm assaied
the small craft and day after day the rain
came down in deluges.
Ran on Reef.
Several times the vessel was nearly
swamped in rough water and was unable
to make any progress for hours together.
While endeavoring to keep her head 10 the
wind the yacht ran on reef, and in get
ting off one of the air pumps was disabled
and the party was compelled to seek shell
ter in a small cove in the river about nine
ty miles below Washington. To add to the
distress all the coal and ice gave out and
the supply of provisions was reduced to
few cans of baked beans 1t took nearly
forty-eight hours to make the necessary
repairs, fill the coal bunkers and lay in IA
Steamers and other craft were passing up
and down the river at short intervals but
the members of the party decided to stand
by their little ship and repeatedly declined
offers for other transportation to Wash
ington.
Gen. Harries' Relief Expedition.
Meanwhile their friends in Washington
became somewhat uneasy as to their situa-
tion especially as they were more than two
days overdue and had been in the path of
several severe storms Accordingly Gen.
George H. Harries of the District National
Guard and Capt. Grote Hutcheson of the
general staff, aid to Gen.-Chaffee, organ
lied relief expedition on the converted
gunboat Oneida. assigned to the District
Naval Battalion, and started out Friday
morning to find them.
Forty miles down the Potomac they sight
ed the missing yacht making slow but sure
Roadway up the river. They hailed Gen.
Chaffee and invited him and his friends to
take passage home on the Oneida They
refused to be rescued, however, saying they
We're much obliged for the offer of assist
ance, but were determined to stick 1t out
on the Diana, despite her damaged condi-
ton and the low state of her larder The
result was that they did not reach Wash
mgton until IL o'clock Friday night very
tired and very hungry, but happy. They
were at their desks in the War Department
yesterday rs usual, and although their long
exposure to sun, wind and rain showed in
their sunburned, weather-beaten faces, they
declared they had nothing but happy recol-
lections of their inbound experiences
in the lower Potomac.
