West and the superintendent of police

that the cabs and carriages of the rail-

east of the main entrance to the station;
the hotel omnibuses of the south side OF
the plaza a short distance to the east OF
the main entrance, and the stand for all
for hire" vehicles. automobiles, etc, near
the intersection of Massachusetts and
Delaware avenues. Further, it was de-
cided, in the interest of public safety. to
have all vehicles approach the station
from the west and circle the plaza, thus
avoiding the passing of vehicles moving

APPLICANT REJECTED.
Secretary Metcalf Seeks to Discour
age Certain Enlistments.

Secretary Metcalf has been in CORE
spondence with Judge De Lacey of the
Juvenile Court of the District in regard
to 1.-THE case of boy named Llewellyr
Ball. who recently applied at the Wash
ingtor navy yard for enlistment in the
navy. 1t is stated that Ball was ar
re sted for stealing some money from his
employer and that he confessed his guilt
to Judge De Lacey, who sent him to the
reform school. but afterward, at the sug.
gestion of Balls attorney. consented te
his release on condition that the nava
authorities would consent ito his enlist
men, The naval authorities rejected thte
applicant.
In letter to the Secretary of the Navy
Judge De Lacey said that Ball had plead.
ed guilty, and that his attorney asked
that he be not sent to the reform school
as he had prospects of enlist1ng in the
navy and would sign an order to pay
back the stolen money. While express
ing doubt said Judge De Lacey, that
the, boy could be enlisted in the navy, the
court was unwilling to stand in 1.-THE way
if those charged with the duty of accept
ing recruits or apprentices saw fit to pass
him.
Secretary Metcalf. in his letter to Judge
De Lacey, requested that the court here
such enlistments. He said every effort
is being made by the department anc
the officers of the navy to maintain the
high standard of personal integrity among
the enlisted personnel, and that aside
from moral grounds the conditions of life
aboard ship, the close contact and the
unlimited opportunities for petty thievine
render 1t extremely undesirable that any
person should be enlisted whose probity
can be reasonably contested. He sale
that the great majority of the enlisted
force of the navy is a sef-respacting. re-
liable body of men, and he expresses the
confident hope that the courts will lenc
their aid in maintaining the high stan.
dard of the navy by refusing most en-
phaticaly to permit it even to be sug
sested as an alternative to corrective de.
tention that a culprit be enlisted in the
navy"

told of what had occurred, he said he fast
ened the house this morning before going
to work and he thought it had been enter
ed by using a duplicate key. Minor said
he had lost several keys to his front door.

ed by woman.

boxes of matches had been used, the num-
