Mr.. WEST FAVORS PENSIONS
Likes Burkett's Plan to Codify
Police Laws.
Present Conditions Are Makeshift
and VIII Bear Improve
ment, He Says.

Speaking OF the resolution recently in
troduced by Senator Burkett as an amend
ment 10 the Metropolitan police act for
the District, Commissioner West said yes
terday:
Il am heartily in accord with Senator
Burkett's suggestion that the present
makeshift legislation regarding the police
and fire pensions be codifed into a com
plete and thorough statute. 1 am not, of
course, in favor Of abolishing these pen
sions.
The Commissioner believes the men in
the police and fire departments. whose
duty is constantly hazardous, should be
given a pension at the expiration Of a
term of faithful service. Under the pres
+, ent law this term is fifteen years.
Mr. West said in conclusion:
The pension fund has been a subject IN which 7
have given very close attention for some time mast
Two years ago. upon my motion a commission was
appointed TO inquire into the pension fund the con
dition Of every pensioner, the amount awarded and
the facts upon which such allowance was made.
As result Of this investigation some imfrove-
ments in the method Of granting pensions were
adopted notably the application 20 the fire DEPART
ment Of the methods which had been followed IN
the police force Of having each applicant for pension
examined by board OF surgeons. ] called the at
tentlOn Of the Commissioners two years ago 10 the
/ tact that there constantly increasing drain
upon the pension fund.- and that it could not be
met unless new legislation was enacted

ROBBED BY A NEGRO
Mrs. Balm Loses Her Pocket
book While in Crowd.
HAD ALIGHTED FROM A CAR
Before She Fully Realized the Situa-
ton the Thief Had Made His Es-
cape, aud She IL Unable to Give a
Description of Him-Victim Is a
Visitor in Capital from Illinois.

While standing in a crowd at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Seventh street late yes
terday afternoon. Mrs. NJ. T. Balm, a
visitor in Washington. was robbed of her
pocketbook by a negro.
Had Mrs. Balm made an outcry the
thief would probably have been caught.
but the suddenness of the attack fright
ened her 10 such an extent that 1t was a
minute or more before she recovered sufii-
ciently TO understand the situation.
Mrs. Balm. who. with her husband. has
been stopping =. the Burton Hotel, BOG
North Capitol street, for several days.
was returning to the hotel after visiting
an acquaintance in Mount Pleasant. She
rode down Seventh street. intending to
transfer at Pennsylvania avenue
Car Entrances Crowded.
When the car was stopped at the trans
fer station. the entrances were crowded
with persons endeavOring 10 get or,
and others anxious to get on and get a
seat Mrs. Balm reached the rear plat
form with difficulty. AS she stepped 10
the pavement, she felt a hand grab her
wrist, followed by tug at her handbag.
She resisted, but the thief easily wrenched
the pocketbook from her grasp.
Mrs. Balm was wedged tightly in the
crowd and could not turn 10 see her as
sailant. BY the time the crowd thinned
out he was not in sight, Luckily. Mrs.
Balm held the transfer ticket in her left
hand. and was able 10 ride home. The
pocketbOok contained only $50.
Mr. and Mrs Bain are residents OF
Illinois. They have been sightseeing in
Washington nearly week, and Will re
turn home in a few days.
