"BOBBYS" LIFE IS HARD;
is OFTEN ASSAULTED

LONDON, Aug. 3. The London
bobby has much to endure from the
denizens of the slums. among whom he
tries to keep order. Figures supplied by
Scotland Yard show that nearly 80 per
cent Of the metropolitan police force IS
seriously injured by assaults during one
year Last year 2.199 men were invalided
with injuries sustained in stopping
street brawls OF in arresting desperate
characters.
Perhaps one reason why the London
policeman is maltreated to such an ex-
tent is that he IS not so armed as are
the policemen in other capitals. He
carries no sword. like the continental
policemen; no revolver, like the patrol
men of New York, while his club
(knOwn as a ''truncheon" or 'baton') Is
a lighter weapon than that used In New
York, and is always concealed, except
when required for use.

Scarcely had he left the hotel. how

Captain Boardman at Detective Head

be located. She explained that he left
the hotel early Friday night and prob
ably had lost his way. Mrs. Grower
seemed much perturbed. and gave the
police a minute description OF her hus-
band and the clothing he wore.
Groover visited all the downtown ho-
tells and met many ladies during his
long and painful search. but at s
O'Clock he had gotten no trace OF his
wife. Thinking that perhaps the police
might have located her he called on
tective Headquarters at night. and
asked II ne had any information re-

Grower. Peck called up the Dewey,
aseertained that Mrs. Grower was
there. and so informed the anxious hus-
band. Groover explained: Dewey

Two fond hearts were reunited at the
Dewey Hotel last night after Raymond
Grower. OF Florence, S. c., and his
wife had been invOluntarily separated
for twenty-four hours. Their experience
was unique and humorous. and both had
a hearty laugh on the strength OF it.
Detectives. whose aid was enlisted by
the husband and wife in search for one
another, were also greatly amused.
Mr. Grower. accompanied by his wife
and slster-in-law, visited the James
town Exposition last week. and came TO
Washington Friday night 70 remain two

bile and went to the Dewey Hotel with

Roamed Streets All Night.
During his rambles he forgot the name
OF the hotel wnere he had registered,
and walked the streets all Friday night
and yesterday morning in search Of his
wife. About noon yesterday he called
at Detective Headquarters and asked
that endeavors be made to locate his
wife.
Clerk Samuel Burrows called UP sew
eral hosteleries and ascertained that
there was a woman at the Mt. Vernon
Hotel. who was looking for her hus-
band. Grower fe,t satisfied that the
woman was his wife. and as he left De-

Boston the CapriclOuS.

Down here in Washington we
have, as a matter of course, the
greatest admiration for Boston. As
the very norm of New England we
esteem it; as the seat of culture
we envy it; but as the settlement
Of the impulsive, the wiIlful, the ca
pricious, we love it.
Of late we have been offered some
rare Illustrations of these last
named characteristics. Thus;
The Massachusetts, railroad COM
mission has been gumshOeing about
the railroad tracks of the Hub to
discover If locomotive engines are
responsible in whole or in part for
the prevailing smoke nuisance. As
the fun-loving Journal observes, its
report says undisputed things in
solemn way Here some of them
are:
II informs the community that soft
coal is the best fuel for locomotives, +,
that anti-smoke laws are. apt to dis
criminate' and are difficult OF enforce
ment: that the tissue Of clouds Of black
smoke from locomotives is ordinarily
unnecessary that eIectrihCation Is a
very nice thing; that more smoke-con-
suming devices ought TO be tested. and
that higher standard Of requirement
in the school OF firing might work
some good.
Could any report, even among the
romances published here in the fac
tory of such documents, be more
wildly imPulsive, more recklessIy
abandoned, than that?
Again
In the course of "O1d Home
Week" the adolescent OF Boston
(who appear to be strangely alike to
the young of other communities)
have adopted ''ticklers." These in
struments seem to consist of wands
with feathers on the end, and pass
ers-by, joyously distracted by the
prospect of meeting third-cousin
Jabez or grand-aunt Mehetibel, are
rudely awakened to u bizarre and
vulgar world by a tickle on the end
of the nose.
Does Boston blurt out a Darn
the fool thing?" No indeed. It
protests that while the ticker is
really an insulting species of as
sault, its worst feature is that it is
a menace to- the public health. &"
That. we think, is pure willfulness.
Finally
The dear old town has been en-
tertaining the Vice President.
Good taste and mutual admiration
have been the keynotes of the har-
monica. Surely no paper in Bos-
ton would print the malicious word
cocktail" Surely, no rag-tag of
the streets would call 'Buttermilkl
No.
Instead, Mr.. Fairbanks bends and
bows like a sweet narcissus trans
planted to the Charlesgate Fens;
while BostOn-the same Boston that
heard Webster at Bunker Hill. Ed

and sat at the feet of Emerson.
Thoreau, and John L. Sullivan-the
Hub of the universe smiled back in
bashful happiness.
Cold? Who's cold?
Fairbanks? Ask Boston.
Boston? Ask Fairbanks.
There, we say, is Boston ca
PRECIOUS, and we defy even her guest
of honor to prove the contrary.

NEW TRANS-PACIFIC STEAMSHIP
SYSTEM WILL BE IN OPERATION
WITHIN THREE MONTHS.

A transpacific steamship line will be
in service within the next three or four
months between the port of San Pedro
and Oriental ports, says the Los
Angeles Herald. For the first time spe-
cific assurance is given to that effect
from an official source. Los Angeles
soon will be practically in touch with
points in Japan, China and perhaps
the Philippines.
Preparations already are completed
for one line to operate across the Pa
cific las indicated, and there are inti-
nations that a second line is contem-
plated at a later period. The Salt Lake
Railway company has effected arrange
ments with an American steamship
company for the early service, and
there is talk Of a Japanese line on the
same route, for which steamships will
be specially constructed.
