POLICE COURTS
BADLY NEEDED.
SAYS SYLVESTER
Wants Magistrate System
at Precinct Station
Houses.

Major Sylvester. Superintendent of Po-
lice, believes that magistrate system
IN the District would be a great i'm
provement over the present method OF
disposing of cases where the offense is
not criminal
For several years ] have advocated
establishing a magistrate system in the
District of Columbia in order that court
might be held at the several precinct
sion houses and cases De disposed Of
promptly when brought in he said.
this morning. Also, when business
men are wanted as witnesses or other
wise their time need not be consumed
waiting at court" The expedition Of
trials in that wise. IL was as contended.
would admit Of persons not guilty being
promptly discharged and avoid cell con-
finement in most cases, except where
crime was charSeH
This system has been adopted in
New York, and I was consulted about
the magistrates sitting at night" con-
tinued Major Sylvester. 1T is now in
effect. Night trials are now held and
a station exists there without cells. and
cases are disposed Of when brought in
by the officers IT is a new departure.
and to some extent does away with
placing of persons in cells for minor
offenses. 1t is the principle advocated
by myself and / believe the time will
come when cells will be used only Tor
those who are criminal and are held
for criminal Offenses.
For years l have advocated an In
ebriate asylum for victims of intem-
perance. but Congress would do nothing
when the bill was called up for con-
sideration.''

Gentlemen. we are being assessed

Only recently Washingtons handful of
taxpayers were forced to pay for the
extension Of Sixteenth street that the
nation. not the city, might enjoy its
beauty. BY violating the solemn COM
pact of 1875 when they soIemhly swore
that they would meet half OF the Dis
trlct expenses, Congress is rapidly
saddling the 3O,OUO taxpayers with large
and arduous debts. and. should Congress
ran 10 make reparation, we Of the Dis
trlct will find ourselves so hampered
