LAW GOVERNING MIGRANTS
MISREPRESENTATION TO CON-
GREsS BY COMMISSIONERS.
Statute in Force Not What Is De.
sired-Statement by Former
Senator Stewart.

II is said to be likely that during the
present session of Congress the Commits
sioners will urge the enactment of a law
governing Migrants in the District of
Columbia 1t is explained that in real
ity there is no real vagrancy law in force
in the Dist -ict.
What is generally supposed to be
vagrancy law is one which provides
for the arrest of persons of III repute
and those who are Known to the police to
be habitual drunkards The police say
that only recently a man known to be
a habitual loafer was arrested on a
charge of vagrancy. and the case was
thrown out when it reached the Police
Court because of lack of evidence.
The corporation counsel will be asked
by the Commissioners to point out thu
weak places in the present so-called vag-
rancy law and suggest means of remedy
ing it.
The necessity for a more stringent
vagrancy law in this city, TO rid 1t of
loafers. has been suggested to the Com
missioners by William NJ. Stewart, former
senator from Nevada.
Need of Drastic Law.
In his communication Senator Stewart
says: THE conditions in the city of
Washington require a drastic vagrant
law. Women are constantly robbed IN
every part of the city. After dark they
are so frequently knocked down. robbed
and left senseless that it is unsafe for
them to go on public streets. even In the
business parts of Washington. The trouble
comes from the great number of vaga-
bonds that hang about low groggeries,
alleys and disreputable resorts These
fdlers will not work at any price, but
prey upon the community. 1t is I'M
possible for the police, if the number
were doubled to watch the criminal
vagabonds that infest the city.
Il beg leave to suggest to your COM
gress to the need of vagrant law, under
which all idlers who cannot give a sat
fsfactory account of themselves be con-
demned to. work for the District. Let
them grade the streets, make roads in
the parks and anything else that may be
necessary and useful. The only hope of
reformation for the loafers who swarm in
the city is labor in the open air. Ninety
days of hard labor in the open air will
do much to improve the condition of any
vagabond: if ninety days is not enough
give him six months to regain his nor
NAL condition.
I am satisfied that Congress desires the
capital of the nation to be a safe place
TO- respectable people to live, and that
they will furnish such legislation as you
may require to rid the city of the loafing.
criminal element, which endanger life and
property.

AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
No Temporary Appointments En-
cept From Civil Service List.

President Roosevelt has issued an
executive order that prohibits temporary
appointments in government departments
without first having the sanction of the
civil service commission. 1t has been
. practice of several of the departments
to I'LL vacancies arising and notifying
the commission afterward as to the action
taken, The Treasury Department has
followed this rule for a long time.
Under the new order the departments
will first have to ask the civil service
commission for a certifcaton of persons
who will accept temporary work. II the
commission cannot supply this certif1ca-
ton the department must get the consent
Of the commission to make appointments
independent Of civil service requirements.
1t Is considered that the order practically
stops temporary appointments except
from the civil service eligible lists.
