SKATERS BLOCK THE STREET.
RESERVES CALLED OUT TO
QUELL SMALL RIOT.
Indignant Householder Turns the
Hose on Crowd and One Boy
LIS Arrested.

That NICE newly concerted stretch from
LIST to 80 streets on Rhode Island avenue
northwest. where thousands Of skaters
congregate to spin back and forth from
the time school lets out to midnight. was
the scene Of a queer sort of disturbance
Friday evening. which resulted in the re-
serves Of the eighth precinct being called
out to drive about one thousand young
men and women home The matter came
out in the Juvenile Court yesterday. when
Erskin r. Miller. sixteen years old. OF
1923 Sth street northwest was arraigned
for disorderly conduct. Capt Doyle of
the eighth precinct made the arrest and
his testimony will tell the story very
well.
This stretch of street is fine for
skaters. They come there from every
section in the city. The fact that the
Miller boy lives two miles away will
show that. John T. Noonan, the com
planning witness. who lives at 13S Rhode
island avenue, has made several objec-
lions to the terrific racket these skaters
make, and now that his wife is lying
very i'll he complained very loudly. as the
noise is kept up by these young people
who should be in bed by or ~. until
nearly midnight. Friday night there were
fully one thousand skaters in that stretch
Up and down they go. shouting and sing
ing, and seem to have no regard for any
one. Mr.. NOonan came down and tried
to get some of them to stop it. and final
ly w. G. Blundon came along in motor
car and actually could not get through
the crowd of skaters.
He turned around and called for me
at the station house. l jumped In. went
over there to size things up. and Just
about the time l got there this Miller
boy and several others on skates We're
crowding around Mr.. Noonan. Let's GO
for him.. said one of them, and MI.
Noonan started to clean the crowd out by
squirting a stream Of water on them. BY
chance Miller got most of it. l took him
along with me to the station. and after
that l sent the reserves over to clean the
street."
Judge De Lacy complimented MT.
Noonan for thinking of the hose. MT:
Miller, ST., was wrothy in court and
threatened all sorts of legal terrors, put
the Judge advised him not to stir the
matter up. The judge found the boy guilty
Of disorderly conduct, but suspended SEN
tence. saying it was by accident that
Miller was mixed up In the matter and
he should not be made scapegoat Tor
the crowd.
In the meantime, Capt. Doyle Is deter
mined to break up the skating there' ana
has given orders for a squad OF men 70
look after that section from now on until
it assumes the normal aspect of an every
day street.

DREDGERs AT WORK.
Large Cargoes Of Fine Oysters Com
ing to This City.

Oyster dredging is in full swing on the
lower Potomac, Tangier sound and other
waters in Maryland. and several hundred
dredgeboats are employed In the taking
of the bivalves from the beds and trans
ferring them to the run boats to be taken
to Baltimore or to be brought to the
market here. Cargoes of the bivalves ar
irving here are in excellent condition.
Oysters in the she'll are in demand by
the packing houses at Baltimore and
other points on the river and bay, and
the outlook for good season is said to
be very encouraging.
The recent storms on the gulf put out
of commission a large number OF oyster
packing houses. and it is said that much
of the trade that went to these houses
will now come to the packers that draw
their supply from the Potomac. Reports
coming from the Potomac state that t4ie
supply of oysters on the natural beds
seems to be large and the dredgeboats
are making excellent catches.
There is an ample supply and the shell
fish are selling at from IS cents to 6U
cents per bushel
