DOORS AND GATES OPEN.
Carelessness of Householders Annoy
ing to the Police.

The superintendent of police has frequent
ly called attention TO the careiessneSs of
householders in failing to keep doors. win
dows and back gates closed, but despite the
warnings members of the force are kept
busy notifying occupants of houses of their
neglect in the matter mentioned. The po-
lice were instructed last Thursday to make
a note of the doors, gates and windows
that were found open and the lieutenants
were directed to forward the reports to
headquarters. The result was that nearly
200 back gates and a number of windows
and doors were mentioned.
THE finding of so many gates OPEN
a police official remarked. gives an idea
of the number of Invitations that are being
constantly extended to dishonest persons.
AT this season OF the year, when the wealth
er is warm, there are persons roaming
about the streets at all hours, and it is
not always possible to tell which ones are
honest and which are dishonest Some of
them are liable to yield to temptation, just
because an open gate seems inviting, and
commit a robbery.
The speaker explained that many persons
keep refrigerators on back porches and
those who enter the yards because they
md the gates open are liable to take what
they find to eat. 1t Is just as easy mat
ter, he stated, to fasten the back gates as
it is to leave them open. and when people
are so careless they should not be surprised
when they are robbed.
Policemen are expected to make exami-
nations when they are on night duty, and
there is scarcely a night that a number
OF doors and gates are not found OPEN 1t
also frequently happens that doors of bust
ness houses are found open and the pro-
prfetors have to be notified This work
consumes much valuable time OF the no
Hcemen and prevents them from giving
proper attention TO other portions of their
beats.
In many instances the preprletors OF the
stores will not leave their homes to see
that the doors of their places of business
are fastened, even after the police notify
them OF the situation. Therefore the no.
lice are often forced to the conclusion tina I
their efforts to protect property are not al
ways appreciated.

are in the thirteen school districts for play,
each district at present sending to school
about 1900 children. The map of the Dis
triet has been studied, it is stated, its area
in acres its approximate length and
breadth, its number of white and colored
schools the area of the school Fairgrounds,
the number and size of the parks in the
district, and more particularly on what pro-
portion of these parks are the children al
lowed to play. and finally, what proportion
of the children leave the city for the sum-
mer.
There is. of course. great diversity OF
opinion as to the number OF other chlldren
in the city not included on the school rolls,
II being given variously from 700 to 5000.
Committees studying the subject in gem
eral have also discovered. from recent
statements by charity workers, the numDer
of poor families in each district receiving or
needing aid and from the police department

uuent and less serious.
Not the least important items IN the IN
uuiry have been the number of saloons In
the District and the number of insanitary
dwellings together with the cost of vacant
land as estimated by real estate men.
From such body of material sufficient
basis is obtained for very clear realiza-
ton of the needs of the children and the
necessity of prompt and well-supervised eff
forts.
Naturally many charitable people believe
that the maintenance and supervision of the
Fairgrounds in this city should be carried
on by congressional appropriation, as In
other cities by the municipalities. but so far
the public charity has shouldered much of
the expense.
