No matter what the emergency

no more. Corporation Counsel Thorn.
as has decided that they are subject
to the laws governing the speed of all
other vehicles.
Recently several persons have been
hurt by the galloping horses OF pa.
troll wagons. Citizens complained TO
the commissioners who suggested to
Major Sylvester, chief of police, that
more care be exercised. The major
replied that a patrol wagon. fire en-
gine or ambulance is not called unless
1t is needed badly and that when 1t is
needed 1t ought to get to its destina-
ton in the quickest possible time.
Besides, he did not believe that the
Law makers had city vehicles in mind
when the. made the speed laws. But
the corporation counsel overruled him.
1t is understood that the Anti-Noise
society. encouraged by this ruling. will
ask that the changing gongs be re-
moved from the wagons and engines
on the grounds that they disturb the
peace of the citizens and that they
are not needed on slow moving ve-
hicles.

WASHINGTON Statue for CAPITOL

One of the subjects to be brought
before congress early in the next ses-
sion will be a proposition to provide
a suitable statue of Washington for
the east front of the capitol. in view
of the removal of the Greenough
statue, which represents the Father
of His Country in the scant attire
of a Roman statesman, from the plaza
to the Smithsonian institution.
Representative Mccall, chairman of
the house committee on the library
has introduced a bill providing for a
replica Of the J. @. A. Ward statue
of Washington, which stands in front
of the custom house in New York.
Mr.. Mccall proposes to place this
replica on the staircase on the east
front of the capitol. so that presidents.
in delivering their inaugural address
es, will stand at the feet of the first
president.
This proposition is objected to by
many senators, who prefer having a
new work and not merely a replica
The idea of placing a heroic statue
in bronze in conspicuous place on
the plaza. representing Washington
in the act of delivering his inaugural
address, is finding many supporters in
congress, and they will urge an ap-
proprietion for that purpose before
adjournment.

THE TURK IN WASHINGTON.
Little Known of the Genuine Article
in Rational Capital.

We know so little about the real
Turk in this country that it is DIFF
'ficult to understand from any intimate
enlightenment events that occur be-
meath our very noses Most of the
so-called Turks that come here are
only Turkish subjects, Greeks, Ar
menians, Syrians, etc, and not Turks
at all. Tourists who take in Constan-
tinople and chatter in the bazars with
deceitful tradesmen come home to tell
dreadful stories of the Turk and to
denounce his tricks as vain. The truth
is that they have not come in contact
with the real Turks at all.
The sultan has very seldom sent
a real Turk to Washington as his en-
voy. OnG reason is that Turks do not
care to leave home for domestic and
other reasons, and another is that
he has wished to reward the son or
the dependent of some favorite.
twenty-five years ago the Ottoman
minister at the capital was Mavroyeni
Bey, Greek and the son of the sui
tan's favorite physician. After some
years the latter fell into disfavor and
Mavroyeni was recalled. He had
found much favor with the fair SEX
but had made few friends among his
own sex, certainly not many who were
important and could be of use to him
officially. He was succeeded by a
real Turk. Ali Ferrough Bey, hand
some, sympathetic, impulsive young
fellow, who promptly ingratiated him
self with every one Of sporty tenden-
cies and was informed with certain
wisdom and an unquestionable energy.
Ali Ferrough was in fair way of get
ting his country much liked and very
seriously considered when, two or
three years later, he was recalled for
promotion, and in his place came a
solemn. silent, unhappy looking gen
tleman who said nothing to anybody
and had a beak like a bird of prey
He didn't stay long. Latterly We have
had Mehmed Ali Bey, son Of Izzet
Pasha. the sultan's deposed favorite,
not a Turk, but Syrian. He is
eliminated and now comes Mundji
Bey, apparently a Turk, and. like Ali
Ferrough of pleasant memory, talka-
tive, emotional and essentially light
hearted. At least Washington accepts
him as such because Of the resem
blance. He bids fair to make con
genial and helpful acquaintances. and
II these indications hold out he may
come to be useful.
The fact remains that we know
very little of the real Turk. The peas
ant is always an agriculturist when he
is not soldier. The gentleman is
refined, elegant, exclusive and lux
urious-too much so. perhaps. for the
good of his country. Americans who
stay at home and of course form com
placent opinions. gather their ideas of
the Turkish people from the Greeks,
Armenians, etc. who come here to
represent the diplomacy and the com
merce of the empire. What Ameri-
cans do not know about the Turk would
fill a library.

LAwLEssNEss IN WASHINGTON.
Cauot!c Comments OF Neighbor on
Conditions in the Capital.

Washington, in its public structures
and private residences, it's hotels and
business buildings, its parks and boule-
Yards, is becoming not only the most
beautiful city in America, but one of
the finest of the worlds capitals, says
the Baltimore Sun. All Americans are
proud of its growth and it's magnifi-
ceuce.
Therefore it comes to them as a
shock when they learn that women
are not safe on it's broad avenues and
that purse snatching and robbery are
the most common of crimes
During the last two years the records
show an almost unbelievable number
Of attacks upon women. These range
from assaults and attempted murders
in the suburbs to brutal attacks and
robberies in the very heart Of the
most fashionable residence section.
Most of these offenses are committed
by negroes and they seem to think
that they have a license to commit
any crime. The daughter of an army
officer was attacked and robbed by
negroes almost at the door of the
British embassy. Judging from the
number of crimes of which they are
the victims, in no city in America are
women so poorly protected as they
are in the nations capital.
What paralyzes the arm of the law?
Why Is 1T that negro hoodlums are al
lowed to run riot, terrorize certain
sections and even attack the police? !?
Why is 1t unsafe for women to go out
on the streets or roads after dark in
the District of Columbia? Is it be-
cause the arm of the law is weakened
by an inefficient police force and
sometimes by absurdly inadequate
punishment when criminals are ar
raigned in the courts?
Most of the crimes are committed
by negroes, according to the ac-
counts. and the criminal negro element
acts as If 1t could defy the police and
as If it need have little fear of severe
punishment. The attack of a large
crowd of negroes on Policeman w. j.
Field when he went to arrest a
negress is only one of number Of
such attacks. If the laws were rigidly
enforced and disorder suppressed with
firm hand such contempt of the po-
lice would be impossible.
The district commissioners and the
police could undoubtedly prevent
Washington from becomin. the unhap-
py hunting ground of thugs and
thieves If they acted with sufficient
firmness and energy. What is the
matter with the representatives OF the
district government II tbev cannot
meet the conditions by which they are
confronted and keep in check the law
less elements which are disgracing
the capital Of the country men should
be put in their places who can.
