SUSPECT IN CUSTODY.
George w. Carr Believed to Have
Robbed Mrs. B. C. White.

George W. Carr, colored OF 025 w street
northwest. was arrested by Detectives War
rem and Mullen of headquarters last night
and he was later positively identified by
Mrs. Is. c. White of the Lincoln apartment
house as the footpdd who attacked her and
robbed her in front of her apartments Au-
gust %. Carr denies the charge Because of
Mrs. Whites identification he is held at
the first precinct station pending a hearing
in the Police Court Monday
Mrs White has only recently recovered
from the effects of the attack upon her
several weeks ago. Size was about TO enter
the Lincoln apartment house on 18th street
between "A and streets southeast about
o clock of the night in question, when she
saw colored man standing at the door He
reached forward she paused In front OF
the door. and She thought he intended to
open the door for her Instead, however. he
grasped her and, throwing both hands
about her. grabbed the handbag which was
fastened to her dress.
Being unable to slip the fasten.ngs, Mrs
W mite says the assaiaut suddenly pulled
the bag loose, released her and made his es-
cape. She was able TO go to her apartments
ana In short time she reported the matter
to the police.
Since that time they have been trying to
identity the colored footpad, but until yes
terday the effort was fruitless. When Mrs
w mite saw Carr she was very positive in
her identification. She pointed out certain
peculiarties about his chin and hands, and
mentioned certain gestures which she had
described shortly after the assault

MEDICO WAS ANGRY.
Wants Policemen Fined for Arresting
Him.

Commissioner West yesterday received
a letter from r. P. Evans, attorney for DIR.
]. Stewart Harrison, protesting against the
latter's arrest by Piivates Cullinane and
Springnan several days ago as a suspect in
connection with the attack upon Mrs Lam
ham, near Good Hope, d. c.. last Wednes-
day. Attorney Evans contends that despite
DIR. Harrison desire to have persons of re-
sponsibility identify him, the policemen
hauled him to the station house, sub
hitting him to humiliati ton etc.
According to the letter DIR. Harrison has
a number of patients living in Anacostia,
and he had been in that section on business
on the afternoon of the attack on Mrs. Lam
ham, and was on his way home when
stopped at the Washington end of the Penn
syivania avenue bridge by the two police
men Mr.. Evans claims DR.. Harrison told
them who he was, where he lived, and why
he was in that vicinity. and they gave him
no consideration They even refused to per-
nit him to walk to the station house,
making him ride in the patrol wagon
Mr.. Evans concluded by asking that the
two policemen be dismissed for such utter
lack OF judgment and discretion and con-
sideraf ion.

Short Weights and Measures.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Some time ago I caught my ice man leav-
ing short weight-nineteen for twenty-five
pounds, one day. I had been taking ice
from him for several years. His company
was informed and I had the great satisfac-
ton of learning that there was mo way to
prevent It." A month ago I received from
a store for peck of new potatoes six and
one-half pounds. Trying another store
few yards away I received for half
peck five and one-half pounds. One
store made 1t good the proprietor
of the other seemed offended that 1
should call his attention to the fact, but
did not offer to reimburse. Now. there
is no mistake in this. The potatoes We're
Just stuffed in an eight-ppund sack, no meas
uring in a regular measure, no weighing.
People should be on the lookout and see
that their goods are full weight before
leaving the store market. Thousands
are robbed each day. One man sold me
four prints of butter for two pounds. They
weighed one and three-quarter pounds

Marriage and Divorce.

To The Editor Of The Star:
On reading your editorial in The Star of
Thursday the Earle case. l am moved
to make few remarks You are to be
commended for saying that this affair
is deplorabie from every point of view" but
not for adding even though it may seem
to result in readjustment for greater
happiness for the two or three people
chiefly concerned" YoC ought not to con-
cede that any TeadJustment of this affair
can result in the greater happiness of
these parties. You ought to take higher
ground than this. The conduct of these
three people is not any more praiseworthy
because II is done openly. 1t is not only
deplorable, but detestahle. damnable. 1t
Is not 10 be jadged on the basis of con-
venience or personal happiness, which is
rank selhshness, out from the standpoint
OF righteousness and good citizenship. 1t
Is time that the press sCotched these free
love sentiments and denounced with all
the sternness possible this whole divorce
business. both ruinous TO the state and
a SIN against God. Taking the Bible as
the supreme test OF all morality and right
eousneSs, both for The individual and the
nation, we are bounI TO regard marriage
as divine institution. whose purpose is
the continuance OF the race, the permanent
establishment of the family and the home,
and the restra ming of promiscuous cohabi-
tat.pn among the sexes. Hence the sacred
pledge in the marriage ritual, and for
saking all others, to Cleave unto her alone
80 long you both shall live"
There is no getting around II, that bar
gain was meant to be a final and a life
contract and this man and wife are guilty
of perjury when they attempt to)evade
II. and the editor or the justice who favorS
or fosters divorce is particeps crimnis in
abcttt5s perjury and destroying the home,
which Is one OF the foundations of a re-
public. The separation by mutual con-
sent, in order that the husband may marry
his affinity is worse than rottenness as
talk, and when crystalliZed into action Is
outiawry to the state and insolence and re-
bellion against the C-eator. Such appaIl-
Ing 5cStIaI.ty OF doctrine and practice does
not deserve an encouraging smile or apo
oEetlc word from any one who claims to
De good citizen or a moralist. / am
heartily glad that his townsmen treated
the man with cuaIempt and roughness.
The whipping post for such scoundrels
would help 10 modify their theories and
practices. and solitary confinement for a
year in dungeon would prevent the blat-
ant announcement Of their principles re-
gaTdIng their "regaining their freedom to
cOhablt with their real affinity" Don't
speak OF such people as other than detested
criminals and enemies OF the state and of
the Christians God.
