WILL GRANT HEARING
ACTION By COMMISSIONERS AS
TO CLOSING WELLS.

Since the official announcement Of the
Commissioners that they mean to abandon
all shallow public wells in the District In
the interest Of public health number OF
protests have been received from persons
who use the water from the wells and who
strenuously object to their abandonment.
In fact, the number of complaints have been
so great and the tones of them so earnest
it is likely that the Commissioners will
grant a public hearing before ordering the
wells closed.
Capt Morrow, Engineer Commissioners.
has made a recommendation that a public
hearing be granted at a date not far on, to
be set by the secretary of the board. He
contends that it is an excellent idea to close
the shallow wells as means of preventing
disease but in neighborhoods where there
are no surface mains a hardship will be
inflicted upon the residents in the event of
closing the wells in such sections
Letter Of Protest.
NJ w. Webb of 12S D street. in letter
of protest to the Commissioners, appealing
for hearing, said: Il beg to enter my pro-
test against the closing of public wells at Sd
street and Indiana avenue and on 9th street
between F and G streets northwest before
giving the citizens who are interested In
them an opportunity to be heard The
majority OF my neighbors feel the same as
/ do about this matter. My people and my
neighbOrs have been continuous patrons OF
those wells during the summer months for
the past fifteen years, and instead OF the
water being unhealthy it has proven just
the reverse. 1t would work a great hard
ship not only to US. but would doubtless
cause considerable suffering and sickness
among those who are unable to leave the
city during the hot weather.
I'VE do not believe it is the intention of
tha mil
Ito deprive the citizens of any comfort or
pleasure they may have in these wells.
We will be able to show that the theory
upon which you propose to abandon the
wells must fade into insignificance before
the Inevitable march of practical expert
ence. We can furnish you with plenty of
practical evidence why these wells should
not be closed

Persona.

mo bulldog should be permitted to run at
large without wearing a muzzle." was the
comment Of policeman last night after
such an animal had bitten four pedestrians
and frightened a number of others. The
dog last night about 10 O'clock was on M
street near Thomas Circle, when a sixteen
year-old boy named Tony Geraci of 1922
9th street approached on a bicycle. He
was grabbed on the left leg by the dog and
dragged from his wheel.
The boys cries attracted the attention of
number of pedestrians, and they hurried
to his assistance the first one to reach him
being Samuel Calvert, whose home is at Ills
street. He Jared the same fate as the
boy, the canine attacking his left leg. Next
to reach the mix-up in which the dog and
pedestrians figured was ]. w. Jones, and his
left leg was also attacked. ]. H George.
q sailor the United States steamship

and the latter shot the dog, death resulting.

arrest OF three men who are wanted in this
city to answer to criminal charges Those
who are wanted are Adolph H Kreiger
alias Frederick SER: John X. Maclsay, alias
Schlesinger, and H. H., alias F. J. Hard
ing, alias ]. H. Hart. Inspector Boardman
Is exceedingly anxious to apprehend the
men named, and thousands Of the circulars
have been mailed to all sections of the
United States. The local department Is
especially interested in the case Of Kreiger,
who Is wanted to answer a charge Of hay
ing obtained $500 by false pretenses from
Mrs Cora l. Arnold. widow, after he had
proposed marriage and had been accepted
Kreiger was arrested in Newark, N. J., and
brought here by deputy marshal. but be-
fore the latter turned him over to the local
authorities he escaped.
Harding. alias Hart, another of the trio,
is wanted to answer to a charge Of fraud
preferred against him by J. M. Hoff. The
latter met Harding while he was in Lynch
burg, Va, on business trip. The men be-
came friends, and Harding visited Hoff
several times in this city. On one occasion
the stranger asked Hoff to indorse check
for 500, payable at the Kentucky Title Saw
ings Bank OF Louisville. Hoff accommO-
dated him and accompanied him to local
bank, where he shook his head and winked
at the paying teller. The latter understood
what he meant and did not cash the check.
Harding became angry at the refusal on
the part Of the teller, but he seemed salts
fed when he was told that he might leave
the check for collection.
| Walking to another window, Harding de-
posted a check for $3.50 for collection, re-
tanning the one for 800, upon which was
written Hoff's Endorsement. The 800 check
he had cashed at Lynchburg. where Hon.
name was good for any amount. and 1t was
not until the check came to Hoff that he
realized that Harding had fooled him. After
tkap0iice here were told of the transaction
I they made an effort to locate Harding, and
learned that he had been at Fort Collins,
Col, and Oklahoma City, Okla It is al
legged that he passed a worthless check for
| $50 on the proprietor Of a hotel in the latter
| city.

| He was arrested and then released on 50. 600

was forfeited. In addition to being under
