Commissioner Macfarlsnd has ap-
proved the suggestion Of the Board Of
Charities and A. II. Tyson, superintend-
ent OF the municipal lodging house, that
that institution be kept open all night
from October to April II a appTopria-
ton of $50 can be obtained from Con-
gTess for the purpose.
In a resent report Lieut.. James Hart
ley. of the First precinct. called atten-
ton to the necessity Of providing shelter
for the unfortunates who apply at the
station after 10 p. m. the hour at which
the lodging house closes.
The police department. he said. can
not accommodate them. and to turn
them into the streets Is almost en-
COuragement of crime.
AS a night Waterman will have TO be
provided. for which an appropriation
must be made, Commissioner MaCfar-
land viii recommend that an item OF
$50 for this purpose be added to the
commissioners estimates.
AS this, however, will not become
available until July !. the lodging house,

VACATION IN SOUTH
POPULAR IN WINTER

A winter vacation is now considered
by many as essential as a change OF
scene and. environment IN summer.
Naturally the ST., with its warm.
genial climate, beau 1ful scenery, and
splendid hotels. attra It's the largest
percentage Of travel at this time OF
the year. Many tourists from the
North travel via the National Capital
and continue their journeying via the
splendid Norfolk and Washington
steamers, which sail daily at $50 p. m.
The trip IS an overnight one, and the
convenient train and steamer connec-
lions az Norfolk enable tourists 10 20
on 10 the winter resorts farther South
without trouble or loss Of time.
The appointments OF these boats. the
comfortable furnishings Of the state
rooms, and excellence II their dining
service. make them popular means OF
transportation with particular travel
lers. City offices are located at Sev-nth
street wharf and at 705 Fourteenth street

BOOK CENSOR BILL
MAY Be HELD UP
Opposition to Government
as Critic of Lit

IN attempt IS being made 20 clothe the

Gently Of books that have called forth

The word indecent put IN front OF the

the department to exercise a censorship

perhaps we should take some steps look
ing 10 a better exclusion Of improper
literature from the malls, We ought to
be exceedingly careful that we do not
use language that simply enables the
department or some person IN the de-
partment TO exclude books that may not

MAY LICENSE DRIVERS
TO STOP BIG FEES

II or2er to obtain a more responsible
class of men the Commissioners have
prepared a bill to license hack drivers
and other drivers of licensed vehicles.
The object Of the legislation is to di-
minish the possibility of extortionate
demands or improper conduct on the
part Of the drivers
The Commissioners have been prompt
ed to ask for this legislation by the
complaints OF numerous citizens who
say they have suffered at the hands OF
these drivers, especially those at the
New Union station, come of whom
have taken advantage of the lack of
street car facilities to demand excess
sive fees.
As in most cases the persons wrouged
are unwilling to prosecute, the Commits
siOneTs say the best remedy seems 10
be an effort to improve the character of
the drivers by exercising a closer su-
pervisiOn over them.
