LITTLE GIRLS ACCUSE VAN.

Thrash Hlm-Three Prisoners.


Several little girls were playing in Fifty

yesterday when a well dressed man APP
preached the group and said something

She ran away when the man spoke to her.
Then he turned his attention 20 eight

ran away and told several men that the
stranger had insulted her.
Two Of the men she complained to were
Patrick Hsupt Of SAL West Fifty-seventh
street and James Creter Of s4s Eleventh
avenue. They quizzed the annoyer Of
the little girls and they couldn't get a salts
factory story out Of him. Then they called
other men and the crowd they gathered
decided the stranger ought TO get beating.
They proceeded TO give It TO him when
Special Policeman McLs ughlin interfered.
Mclaughlin arrested the annoyer Of the
girls who began TO howl loudly that no had
been robbed Of a gold watch and chain.
McIaughlin's prisoner. pointed out Creter
as the man who stole his watch.
To add TO the special polioeman's troubles
John Burns Of 14 West Fifty-si1th street
concluded that as McIAughlin didn't wear
a uniform he had no right 20 make an arrest.
Burns assaulted Mclaughlin and the crowd
again pitched into the man he had made
prisoner.
There was a fine shindy in progress when
several policemen arrived on the run. They
arrested the RnnoyeT Of the girle, the man
whom he accused Of stealing his watch
and with them Burns, who had assailed
Mclaughlin. All three prisoners were hailed
10 the West Forty seventh street station.

Of 5l3 Fifth avenue, Brooklyn. Co.'s denied
that he had said anything improper TO the
children, but later they confronted him
and he was held.

Useless Documents.
WASHINGTON, March 77.-Chairman Lam

the inquiry was carried in the General
Deficiency Appropriation bill.
b. i directs the Joint committee TO examine
into the numbers printed Of the various
documents, reports, bills and other papers
published by order Of Congress OF by either
House, and Of the Congregational Record, and
the documents issued by the various de-
partments, and 70 recommend by bill any
remedial legislation found necessary. II
is expected that the investigation will begin
shortly and will last perhaps two months.
One branch Of the inquiry will be into

TO cut OF the publication Of useless docu-
ments and TO formulate some rules upon
which the issuance Of documents in the
future may be based.

OF matter sent out by Senators and Repre-
sentatives the surplus Of their allotments
accumulates rapidly and II has been Deces-
sary TO rent whole buildings to store the
books that were not considered valuable
enough to distribute among constituents.

will bend its energies.
Another paragraph Of the deficiency
bill placed restriction on the documents
that may be issued by the Departments by
confninR them to those having TO do with
the ordinary business transactions Of the
Departments, and prohibiting the publica-
ton OF all others except on direct authoTi-
Zation by Congress-.
