cago. Mr.. Mann Is greatly interested in
the controversy with regard to the loca-
ton OF the Grant statue and anxious TO
see steps taken by Congress to reject the
present site Today he introduced reso-
luton providing for the location of the
monument on the ellipse back Of the
White House. Mr.. Mann's resolution pro-
vides:
THAT the Grant memorial be hereby To-
Gated upon the site originally selected by
the commission and with reference to
which location the designs for the monu-
ment were invited and submitted and ac-
cepted. being the large circular or elliptt-
cal plat between the White House grounds
and the Washington monument.
No Place for Memorial.
Mr.. Mann expressed himself somewhat
decidedly to a Star reporter today upon

in that swamp beneath the ewes OF the
Capitol where II will have about as much

originally selected site back OF the White
House was by all means the best for the
purpose. I shall do everything in my
power to insure the rejection of the pres

When the proposition came UP to give

REMEDY is PROPOSED
FORMER SENATOR STEWART
DISCUSSES CRIME HERE.

Ex-senator William NJ. Stewart of Ne
vada. in an interview with a Star re-
porter today, expressed considerable in
dignation at the constantly recurring cases
OF assaults upon women in the streets
of Washington. "The condition of WASH
ington at the present time" said Senator
Stewart, "is wretched. Women are un-
safe in the streets after dark. even in
the best and most thickly populated resi-
dental sections OF the city. 1t is q
shame to imprison these ladies' in their
homes in the capital Of the nation SIM
ply because adequate protection, which is
their inalienable right, is denied them, or,
at least, not provided.
Low whisky shops, poolrooms, dis
reputable resorts and every den OF in
iquity within the borders of the District
are crowded daily and nightly with loafers
who do not work and have no visible
means OF support. These wretches refuse
rather prefer to thrive by their wits. or
live upon the charity of others when they
do not resort to larceny, robbery and
similar crimes. Under such conditions a
vagrant law is imperatiyely necessary and
Congress cannot too soon give Its atten-
ton to the matter.
ut would be impossible" continued Mr..
Stewart. ITO sufficiently enlarge the po-
lice force to meet this condition ana prop
erly look after this immense host OF
vagabonds. Besides. there Is no room
for more criminals in the District Jails,
nor can jails reform such creatures There
is. however, an abundance of work in
grading and improving the streets in the
city and county A thousand or two OF
these vagabonds could be utilized in this
way without interference with honest
labor. and at the same time conduce to
the betterment Of the morality Of the city.

ed Make him give an account OF him

not satisfa ctorily do so. reform him by
putting him to work from three to six
months on the public highways and other
