Academy.

The real thing in thrills reached Wash

less audience at the Academy Theater
last night. Swallowed BY Three is not
the simple. straightway villain, lost
papers and desperate-strugsle drama; but
is one OF the most complicated bits OF
play writing seen here for some time.
There are so many plots and counter
plots that the audience cannot extricate
itself from the surprise of one climax
before another is Undertaking.. 1t is a
play of many DISCUSSES. Detectives dis
guised as cowboys and magic:an In
dams and faithful old gray-beared serv-
ants. At the proper moment off comes
the disguise with a snap the bent form
strengthens and from the lips come
words that freeze the blood OF the
fmpious villainness. Like many other plays
of the same sort. the innocent girl
manages to get the revolver which kills
her foster father into her hand just as
the detectives rush to the scene Of the
killing. The evidence being against her.

the plate-glass inclosed porch of the
house and bears off the innocent girl
while there Is much gun play among her

Then the chase takes the entire COM

there is rapid fire and rough language.
The innocent girl Is disguised as COW
boy and kills the bad man set upon her
trail. There is an attempted lynching.
and a terrific fight; but all turns out

stigma upon her and the villainness goes

Lieut.. Sutton REPORTS.

Maj Sylvester, superintendent of police,
has transmitted a letter of Lieut.. Sutton
of the harbor police precinct to the Com
missoners in which attention is called to
the fact that after o'clock in the even
ing the District patrol boat has no crew
to man ii and Is tied to the wharf.
Stranded vessels and boats in distress on
the Potomac after this hour Of the night
cannot hope to receive assistance from
this boat after the hour named.
Lieut.. Sutton reports an instance where
it was shown that a night crew for the
patrol boat is badly needed. A few nights
ago a launch was discovered adrift In the
channel near the Highway bridge and the
harbor precinct police were notified. Ac-
cording to Lieut.. Sutton the engineer and
f1remen of the patrol boat had gone to
their homes and he could not reach them.
He borrowed the Ftrefghter and the
launch was picked up. The matter has
