DENOUNCE N STREET ARRESTS
MERCHANTS COMPLAIN THEIR
BUSINESS HAS BEEN INJURED.
Country People Afraid to Appear on
Thoroughfare Saturday Nights.
Police Captain Explains.

An Indignation meeting was held at the
| barber shop of j. B. Miller. :EIos NJ street
! northwest. last night as a result of the
wholesale arrests made on NJ street the
| last two Saturday nights by the police of
| the Georgetown precinct. About thirty
business men attended.
Mr. Miller. who presided called atten-
ton to the large number of arrests made
| last Saturday a total of thirty-five and
| the Saturday previous total of seventy
nine-ncarly all on NJ street. AS result.
merchants on the street all reported
greatly decreased sales. One jeweler
stated that his receipts last Saturday fell
off fully ID per cent. and he attributed it
to the fact that the crowds. which usually
thronged the street Saturday nights were
afraid to come out lest the police get
them.
Country Folks Come In
1t shown that Saturday was the
great time for the country people to come
into town and make their purchases for
the ensuing week. Many of this class
were white. but the greater number were
! colored. The trip to town was a thing of
pleasure for them. and it was stated that
while they may have stopped and chatted
no serious offenseS were committed. There
was nothing to show. it was said. that
the Saturday night crowds of the thor
oughfare were guilty of any murders,
robberies or other crimes.
White people from the country were
caught in the dragnct and made to leave
collateral at the station house. The ar
rest of these people was declared to be
without warrant. Capt. Schneider who
was present. admitted that perhaps some
of the arrests made by the police might
have been outside of the orders given
He had issued instructions to the men to
break up the disorderly gatherings. and
he was responsible for anything that was
done.
Capt. Schneider further stated that
protest had been sent to Mai Sylvester
signed by twenty-seven of the merchants
of the street, asking that the street be
kept clear Saturday nights. He further
stated that number OF individual COM
plants had been made to him. many by
ladies'. and 1t was on the strength of
these that the raids were made The
damage to the business of the merchants
was something entirely unlocked for.
To Restore Confidence.
He promised his cooperation to restore
confidence and have the trade brought
hack to the street. He said there would
be more wholesale arrests but that
in the future the men would take up only
disorderly and other cases when neces-
sary. He further said that no respect
able person need fear to be on the street
Saturday evenings
The statements of Capt Schneider were
accepted in good faith 1t was recog-
nlZed that 1t was necessary to restore
confidence and dispel the fear of arrest.
and with this end In view the meeting ad-
journed to meet next Wednesday at the
same place.
