CROSSING POLICEMEN.
Maj. Sylvester Requires More Strict
Attention to Duty.

Maj. Sylvester has issued an order to the
captains of the several police precincts d.
recting them to see that the crossing po-
lcemen pay more strict attention to their
duties. 1t Is explained by the superntend-
ent of police that these men are on duty
at the crossings for the purpose of enforc-
ing the regulations and protecting life. He
states in the order that several Of the
policemen appear to have a misconcep-
ton of their duties. Instead of taking the
street at the street railway intersections,
they, in the main, occupy the sidewalks,
some of them spending time talking with
citizens. The department desires to en-
phasize orders heretofore issued and the
regulations. by calling attention to the
fact that the law requires these officers to
primarily give attention to the conducting
of the street railway cars, to see to it that
motormen adhere to the regulations, to pro-
tect passengers getting on and off cars, es-
pecially women, children and the infirm.
You will observe that these officers occupy
the streets for these purposes and that they
give their earnest attention to the running
OF cars, vehicles at crossings and the well
fare of those who are changing and get
ting on and off cars, with view of avoid
ing accidents and losses"
In conclusion the order directs the cap
tains to promptly report the neglect on the
part of the officers to obey the order.

THE THEATER.
Columbia Theater.

Reginald De Koven's romantic light op.
era, The Student King" which had its
nrst presentation in this city at the Column
bia Theater last night, will commend itself
delightfully."- to all those who have a fond
ness for the more worthy class of comic
opera which won SO large a following
twenty or more years ago. Several fac
tors contribute to the merit of the new
piece-Mr De koven's music the book and
lyrics by Frederic Ranken and Stanislaus
STANCE; the production, which is made with
all that generous elaborateness which char
acterizes Henry w. Savage's theatrical en-
terprises, and thoroughly capable cast of
vocalists and comedians, aided by one of
the largest and most efficient choruses that
has been heard in connection with any
musical company in a long time Con-
sidered from every point 1t was-a very en-
5oyable performance, and the audience
which entirely filled the playhouse. mani.
tested emphatic approval throughout. The
composer has provided for this opera many
delightful numbers. probably the most
notable being the spirited and ringing COL
king for the day of carnival forns a basis
capabilities of the strong male chorus with
striking effects, the solos of the student
king and the Princess lisa, and a 0uet be-
tween the two last named.
The custom that prevailed In ancient
times in some of the university centers Of
Germany of electing one Of the students
king for the day of carnival forms basis
for the story of the opera. The student
king enjoyed absolute authority while the
carnival was In progress. The ancient CAPT.
tai, Prague, In Bohemia, is the scene Of
the action, and this locale permits dis
play Of variegated colors in the costumes
Of the Tyroleans. gypsies and students.
Francis. while reigning as the student king.
meets Princess lisa of Tyrol, who is travel
Ing In Bohemia incognfto, and the love chap
ter begins. In the end Francis turns out
to be the son of the real king and the
complications that have arisen are happily
disentangled. The singing Of Mr.. Henry
Coote in the role of Francis was one of the
most delightful features of the perform
ance He was given abundant opportunity
TO display his strong tenor voice to advan-
tage In the several sentimental songs al
lotted to him. Nine. Lima Abarbanel won
decided favor in the role Of the Princess
lisa, giving most pleasingly chic inter-
probation of the part. She has high So
prano of splendid quality and uses it effec-
lively. The unctuous humor Of the attenu-
ated Alexander Clark was responsible for
the greatest share Of the amusement af-
forded by the performance and his quips
and jests and comic songs brought forth
many outbursts Of laughter and applause
from the audience. Miss Eva Fallon a
dainty little miss, danced gracefully and
sang acceptably, and Miss Flavia Arcaro
Thomas c. Leary and Gustave Won Seyffer-
titz added to the merriment Of the occasion
by creditable presentations of comedy roles
Albert Pelaton. George F. Paine and Percy
Parsons contributed much to the enjoyable
qualities Of medley of stirring student

DECREASE IN OCTOBER.

The building operations in the District OF
Columbia during the month Of October were
especially inactive, according to the month";
y report of Snowden Ashford, building In
spector of the District. The total esti-
mated cost of the operations during this
period not only fell below the expectations
of building officials, but was $4,000 less
than that of the previous month. The fact
that the operations in October were smaller
than in September defines the reported in
activity during the former month. Sep
TENDER showed a marked slump in that the
total estimate Of the operations was more
than 5000, 900 less than the total for August.
When Inspector Ashford made his Sep
TENDER report he stated that he could not
account for the inactivity. out he had
looked FOR big increase in October. He
based his expectation upon the proposed
Hibbs building, on 14th street, which is to
cost 100000, and for which a permit was
issued the latter part Of October, but it SO
happened that there was a scarcity o. other
large individual permits. and the Hibbs
building failed to pull the operations for
the months up to the average.
Inspector Ashford states that the slump
In building operations in the District is du-
plicated elsewhere, there having been de-
crease of about IA per cent in building
operations in the country at large.
The total estimated cost of building In
his report was $685., 1865, representing the is
suance of 515 permits. There were So per-
mits issued for the erection of brick dwell
ings. representing total cost Of $3.50, 500;
169 permits for brick alterations and re-
pairs to cost SAC. S01.39; permits for frame
buildings to cost $127,375, and II permits
for repairs and alterations to frame build
ings to cost $12, 150
Among the other more prominent features
was a permit for an Office building to cost
$4,000; a church, to cost $4,000; five brick
stables, to cost 81 600; six elevators, to
cost 1910; 40 frame sheds to cost s., 800;
an apartment house, to cost $4,000; a brick
factory to cost $4,000, and the installation
Of machinery to cost $G0,775.
According to the report the suburban
districts were favored in the distribution
of the brick operations. The total cost of
these for the suburban sections was $341,-
1O5, for the northwest section Of the city,
1923 .64O northeast, $1,000; southeast,
S21. 100; southwest, $3.50.
The operations in frame buildings were
distributed throughout the District as fol-
lows: Northwest, $50, 9SS: county, $15,652;
