at Houses Where He Worked
as Plumber.

John Joseph Hempel. under arrest
charged with numerous robberies at
houses where he was sent to do plumbing
work, was sent to the Police Court yester-
day for preliminary hearing, but before
his case had been called to the attention
of the court he was returned to the police
station. Friday night the young man was
SO communicative that he told a number
of houses from which he had taken prop
erty, but yesterday he consulted an at
torney, and afterward said he realized he
had done too much talking.
Il will not say any more about what I
did, he told Detectives Weldon and Bur
Hngame at police headquarters. Il found
rhem,' was his answer to most of the in
qulrieS made of him regarding articles
found in his possession. 1t is probable
that he will be arraigned in the Police
Court tomorrow.
Mrs. Hempel. his wife, was at police
headquarters with him Yesterday after
noon. She told the detectives that many
of the articles taken from their house had
been given to her by her husband buc
she never had the slightest idea they had
been stolen. The detectives are anxious To
get the articles identified by their owners
Among them is a small gold picture frame
ornamented with British crown. On the

PAY OF POLICE INSPECTORS
MAI. SYLVESTER ASKS FOR IN
CREASE TO $4,000.
Also Recommends That Headquar-
ters Telephone Operators Sal
aries Be Raised.

Mai sylvester has called the attention
of the Commissioners to the salaries paid
certain members of the department. and
asked that increases be recommended
Three inspectors in the department receive
81. 800 each, and the Commissioners are
asked to give them an increase of 500
each.
..These men, says Maj. Sylvester,
must have thorough knowledge OF
many laws and regulations pertaining to
the District and see that they are proper
" carried into effect by the subordinate
members of the establishment. Their pay
should at least be equal to that of a
chief of division under the general gov
ernment.''
The duties of the three men are de-
tailed in the report. Maj. Sylvester also
recommended an increase in the salaries
of the six telephone operators employed
in the central bureau at police head
quarters.
1t is feared by police officials that the
present Congress will not grant all the
increases recommended, although, 1t If
stated there Is a possibility of a com
premise in the matter of the salaries oil
the operators 1t was stated at the
Capitol yesterday that the operators may
possibly receive an increase or $lo
month. The operators now receive S!'t
a month, and it is pointed out that theii
duties are something similar to those per-
formed by certain members of the police
department who receive 500 a month
Operators do not have to undergo eX-
aminations. and are not classed as mem
bers of the department
Police officials think there would be nc
trouble getting the increase should mem
bers of the appropriations committee
understand the duties they are required
to perform. The item was cut out of the
bill by the House District committee, but
Senator Elkins introduced a bill Friday
providing for the increase.

maries be held for the selection of dele-
gates to the judicial and the county CON
Ventions to nominate the regular TICKET
for county offices. There are many op-
posed to this method, but, the whole mat
ter being In the hands of the central COM
mittee opposition will amount to nothing.
1t IS conceded that under the present
system of making nominations IN Prince
George county neither the majority OF
the voters nor anything like an equal
share of the taxable basis of the county
is represented There are seventeen
election districts in the county. 1t re.
uuires nine of these districts TO contIoi
the convention and. consequently the
nominations.
Eleven out of seventeen districts are
located east of the Pennsylvania railroad
or i'll the lower section OF the county.
Kent, Bladensburg, Chillum, HyattsVllie,
Vansville and Laurel districts are SIT
uated west of the railroad or in the upper
section. Being In close proximity 10

have a large portion OF the popular vote
In spite of these conditions. it Is posi-
be for the delegates from the nine lower
districts to combine and deprive the up
per districts OF representation in the con-
duct of the affairs Of the county.
Change Is Talked Of.
This is possible because the convention
system now in vogue calls for the NOM
ination of candidates by delegates chosen
from each Of the districts who in no
manner represent the voice of the people.
This condition applies with equal force to
both democrats and republicans.
The politicians in the upper districts
are as q rule, in favor of changing this
system to the Crawford or direct system
of voting, such as prevails In Montgom-
cry county. Those in the lower districts
are against the change for manifest
reasons.
They claim that under the direct sys-
tenn all nominees would come from the
upper section, and that the voters on both
sides in the lower section would become
disgruntled and remain away from the
polls or else vote the ballot upon which
there were some lower county men,
whether they be democrats or repub,i-
cans.
Politicians on both sides are seriously
considering this situation. 1t would not
be surprising to witness some radical and
fast moves on the county political check

TRYING TO SAVE THE ROAD.
Another Move in Boston to Keep
A.. B. & A. Road Intact.

BOSTON. January 9.-The placing of the
stock of the Georgia Terminal Company
and the Alabama Terminal Company in
the hands Of the Old Colony Trust Com
pany of this city as trustee Is regarded
here as another move on the part of those
interested in the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad. now in the hands of
receivers, to keep the property intact.
1t is expected that the United States
court in Atlanta will be asked in few
days to permit the issuance Of receivers
certificates to pay the interest on s1,70O,-
600 of equipment notes.
1t is realized among those interested in
the road in this city and Boston investors,
who, it is said, have contributed nearly
$40. .OOO, 600 to its construction, that the
payment of the interest charges on the
notes of the equipment and construction
companies is imperative to keep the prop
erty from a worse fate than receivership.
Reports OF earnings of the company re-
ceived here have been very favorable.

Hens Victims of Mean Fraud.

FROM Inc
What some persons might consider a
mean fraud is being played on the hens
at the poultry show in the Coliseum. The
poor creatures are unable to distinguish
between sunlight and the rays of incan-
descent lamps. The result is that they
are laying two eggs every twenty-four
hours. Each lays an egg some time In
the day, and then about midnight each
LAYS another Then the lights are extin-
guished by the management SO the am
bilious fowls can get some sleep.
Worse still, the management Is trying
to extend the fraud to affect every poor
hen in the country. Every one knows that
it is contrary to the habits of hens to lay
more than one egg day, but the man.
asenent. well knowing that they are not
protected by a union. proposes to con-
vince all poultry dealers that it would be
TO their advantage to place electric lights
in all their poultry yards.
