UNABLE TO ENFORCE.
District Cannot Require Obedience to
Car Service Orders.

The District government has again de-
cfded that it is powerless to enforce its
own requirements CT proper service on the
city car lines in case they do not approve
of a schedule submitted by the companies.
The decision was rendered on the strength
OF a report made by Corporation Counsel
E. II. Thomas, after the latter had re-
viewed legislation on the subject, and given
several court decisions and references to
the efforts of the states to cure similar
evils of alleged lax service by transporta-
ton companies. In summing UP Mr.. Thorn
as stated the authority of the Com
missioners extended to compelling street
car companies to submit their schedules for
inspection, but no further.
The whole question was brought up again
by Maj. S. NJ. Gaines, chief OF the mail
and files division of the Treasury Depart
ment, who recently wrote to the Commits
sioners that he was frequently delayed In
reaching his Office by the poor service on
the Maryland line of the City and Suburban
railroad.

BILL SUBMITTED.
Congress Asked to Give Municipal
Control of Employment Agencies.

The proposition for municipal control OF
employment agents and agencies described
in The Star few days ago has been put
in the form of a bill for presentation to
Congress. In forwarding the proposed
measure to the chairmen of the District
committees in the House and Senate the
Commissioners emphasize the need Of such
legislation in this language:
''At present there is no law to enable the
authorities to supervise employment agen-
cies to that they keep faith with their
customers or return the money received by
them for services which they have made
no reasonable effort to render.
In many of the states elaborate statu-
tory surveillance of the business Is provided
by limiting the fees, prescribing the char
acter of references, prohibiting the placing
of women in immoral resorts, requiring the
return of fees under certain circumstances,
prohibiting fraudulent notices and adver-
tisements. excluding the sale of liquor In
agencies and enjoinins system of records
and inspection"

Wanted Police Protection From Men
Alleged to Be Following Him

Detective Sears was on duty IN the Balti-
last night when his attention was called to
a man with his eyes discolored and his face
bruised.
He wants the police to assist him. the
detective was told
The detective thought the stranger had
been assaulted and that he possibly wanted
to make complaint against his assailant
but a brief conversation with him con-
WINGED him that he needed the treatment
of a physician rather than the assistance
of the police. 1t was because of the mans
alleged peculiar statement he was sent to
the first precinct station to be cared for
His name was given Gerhardt Caesar
and he said he was the secretary and treas
urer of the Wrfght-Caesar Tobacco Com
pany in Richmond, Va. He told the detec-
tive that woman and two men had been
Following him from place to place, and he
thought the police might be able to help
him.
The condition of his face and eyes he
stated, was brought about by his being
pushed from street car by the people who
are following him. After he was pushed
from the car last Thursday, he added. he
went to Baltimore and returned last night
In the railroad station last night he told
man of his troubles, and the latter called
upon the detective. Friends of the man in
Richmond were communicated with, and
they informed Capt. Boardman that they
would take charge Of him today and ac-
company him to his home.
