At the OYSTER Wharf

Arrival of cool weather is expected to
have an enlivenng effect on the oyster mar
ket. Within the next week or ten days
vessels with full cargoes will BE- coming
into port. Since the season opened nearly
month ago, only about u half dozen YES
sells with oysters aboard have arrived in
port and they only brought small cargoes
The oysters, it is stated, were poor, as they
generally are in warm weather. Cooler
weather will enable the oyster-run boats to
bring carSoeS of several hundred bushels
each, and to keep them in stock while
waiting to sell them without danger of
their spelling. 1t will also improve the
condition of the oysters.
The sloop Enola and the schooner
Amanda Lewis, with cargoes of oysters
aboard arrived in port yesterday after
noon and are lying a the ii III street dock
Their cargoes are selling at from 81 cents
to 80 cents per bushel. Other vessels will
follow them in quick succession. and in a
short time the oyster docks win be crowded
with vessels having aboard cargoes of
bivalves from the Potomac beds.

MAKES VIGOROUS PROTEST.
Maj. Armes Objects to Treatment Ac
corded by Commissioners

Maj George A. Armes Of Fairfield. hay-

soners. through Secretary Tindall, that a
letter of protest which he had written to
them in regard to the delay in the con-
struction of a sewer in Albemarle street
had been consigned to the waste basket,
and that by order Of the Commissioners all
similar communications from him would
meet like fate, has made vigorous pro-
test against this action. Maj. Armes
claims that during the past sixteen years
he has donated over 100000 worth of land
to the District for streets and avenues with
the promise that these streets would be i'm
proved
THE Streets" he says, "have been al
lowed to grow up with bushes and briars,
and the assessments have increased more
than six times the amount had to pay at
the time of the donation to the District.
The fact that have been given no oppor-
tunity to build on or utilize my land makes
me think that 1t is high time something is
done for the improvement of this section"
Maj Armes criticises the Commissioners
severely, especially the officials of the en-

an Injustice to him. "Pumpkinheads and

years old, living at 473 II street southwest
and Ernest Wright. seventeen years old,
whose home is at 11O6 9th street southwest,
are locked up at the fifth precinct police
station. with charges of having committed
three thefts against them. The specific ac-
cusation is that they gained access to
houses by pretending they had been sent to
do timing or painting on the roof and had
committed the robberies while in the houses
Ii is said they admit the charge and that
two of the houses were robbed yesterday
the third place having been visited Tues
day.
At the house of Mrs. Maggie Rose, 141
North Carolina avenue, Tuesday, the men
claimed they had been engaged to paint the
roof. Mrs. Rose standing in front of
the house talking to huckster when one
of them called and told her that he wanted
to inspect the roof. The occupant of the
house had requested her landlord to have
such work done and she thought he had
acted promptly upon her suggestion. A
pocketBook containing 81 disappeared from
the parlor when the men left the house.
Yesterday about noon the house of Mrs.
Ida NJ. Brink, 2l5 A street northeast was
visited and robbed of about $15 worth of
jewelry. The theft discovered shortly
after the men left the house and an effort
was made to have them overtaken, but
while the police were in search of them they
called at the home of Harry p Cook, TIA
4th street southeast. and got away with
about 5000 worth of jewelry. The police
were given descriptions of the men and

ernoon he found Orem at matinee per-
Torrance in one of the theaters and placed

with the three thefts and gave the names
of his two alleged accomplces, one of them
being Ernest Wright. Part of the stolen
property was found in the pockets of the
two prisoners, and they told where they
had disposed of other articles. Policemen

ture of Wright, but they were unable to

"PREPosTERIoUs AND ABSURD

According to Mayor Garrett Of Glen

Attorney General Bonaparte to attack a
small community like Glen Echo and send
federal representative to attend the hear
ing at Rockville in the case Of John A.
Lutz Of this city, who was arrested for
speeding on the Conduit road several weeks
ago and fined $50. Mayor Garrett says
that he thinks it would simplify matters if
interested persons would wait until Con-
gress and the Maryland legislature are in
session. when laws might be passed de-
timing the status Of the Conduit road.
Mayor CARROTS objections were aroused
by the result of a conference held recently

L. Leckie. Mr.. Bonaparte determined to

but also of the circuit court of Montgom-

Employers and Workers.
, the Editor of The Star:


No more portentous question confronts us
just now than that involved n the conflict
between employers and labor unions There
is none that presents SO great possibilities
of peril to our institutions and our country.
There never time when labor was as
well paid the present, and employers are
prosperous 1t Is quite possible that the
agitation going may work disaster
to all parties. If the present strikes in the
city shall continue to the winter unless the
facts OF the past shall be reversed there
will be a heavy demand upon our public
charities. and bitter suffering in the fami-
lies of the working poor. Surely in this
time of universal prosperity there must be
something profoundly and ineXcusab bly,
wrong in the present condition. 1t ought to
require but little wisdom and common
sense to settle the matter if there is a will
ingness to settle it on grounds of Justice
and fairness to every man, employer and
laborer, union and non-union. On no other
ground can there be a permanent settle
ment and lasting peace. T. S. CHILDS.
