EIGHT CONVICTIONS
MADE FOR YAGRANCY
Districts New Law Works
Like a Charm-"Un
sirableS" Jailed.

According 10 the proof furnished in
Police Court today, the vagrancy law
for the District which wer into effect
March 4, just ten days ago. may prove
one of the greatest blessings a fond Con-
gress ever gave Washington. Eight
cases were disposed of in the Police
Court.
While the officers of the District can
hardly be expected to make the full
est use of q law which has been in
effect only few days, the number Of
arrests Of persons whom the police
claim are without business or VOca-
ton has been remarkably large.
Since the law went into operation
there have been scores Of men who are
usually TO be found loafing In Wash
ingtOn's streets. who have faced Judge
Mullowny in Police Court. Many con
victions Of men who are nOtoriously
bad" have been made and many men
whose presence in the community is not
desired, have been sent TO Jail for
thirty, sixty, or ninety day terms.
Under the old law such convictions
were impossible; IL being necessary TO
catch one of lhe ''undesirables'' in some
crime il the police wanted ma shipped
away. Undes the new law, Washing
ton should soon be cleaned up, il is
believed.
