last night in the rooms OF the National
Press Club. Mr.. Nevin has resigned hts

presentatio to Mr.. Nevin Of a watch. f1t-
tingly engraved. as a token OF apprecia-
ton Of his talents and loyal service. In

WOULD Do AWAY WITH
WORST POLICE CELLS
Police Chief Proposes Changes
:. in Old Station
Houses.

New steel cells may be placed in the
four old-fashioned police stations which
now contain the most ancient style OF
brick dungeon known to the modern po-
lice court criminal.
Mai Sylvester today asked Capt. Mark
ham, Assistant Engineer Commissioner,
to get estimates on the cost of tearing
out the cells in police stations Nos. l..
4. and s. and also to furnish figures on
placing steel cages therein.
Long Under Criticism.
The cells in these stations have been
the cause of adverse criticism from the
police and from the Commissioners for
several years. For some reason or other
they have continued in use as overnight
habitations for unfortunates for years
after other cities have adopted the mod
ern. well ventilated and perfectly sane
steel cage.
The conditions at No. are such
that hardened criminals who have spent
many week ends at various police sta
tions throughout the country have given
Washington the palm for the most I'M
comfortable and unsuitable cells. This
fact Is on record in the last report OF the
police department.
|. the captain Of that precinct says it is
inhuman treatment to lock up prisoner
from Saturday night until Monday
morning in some OF the cells in his station
house.
Conditions at "No. -
+ As TO No. /, Maj. Sylvester told the
Commissioners last year that II is a cry
ing shame to let ii stand as a police
station.
The first precinct structure" his report
says, was erected years ago without
precaution having been taken to insure
the cellar or basement against inroads
from water. which annoyance prevails in
business houses in the same locality. Add
to this poor ventilation and you have a
fair picture OF the principal stationhouse
in the District OF Columbia.
a board of inspection concurred in
the estimate placed upon this Ill adapted
building by the major and superintendent
of police In 1901 1894, 1905 and 1905 fon
the elevation and reconstruction of the
cell corridors and the placing Of steel
cages in lieu Of the ancient and poorly
ventilated cells.

DEEPENING THE CHANNEL.
Dredge at Work in the Mouth of
Occoquan Bay.

The hydraulic dredge Gray Eagle. be-
longing to the Miner Engineering Com
pany OF this city. has arrived in the
mouth of Occoouan bay. and within the
next. day or two will begin operations
deepening the water through what Is
known az Sandy Point cut in Occoquan,
50 as to give moderately deep water
from the river channels to the town OF
Occoquan and the site OF the new work
house OF the District.
The material will be cut from the bot
tom of the channel and will be pumped
through long line OF piping to low
grounds from where the tides will not
wash IT back into the creek. The Gray
Eagle was for several months, about
two years ago. employed in deepening the
water In the river channels I'm the vicin-

SHORTAGE OF MELONS.
Failure of Fleet Of Vessels to Arrive
Depletes Supply.

The failure of the fleet OF watermelon
laden vessels to arrive here yesterday
has caused quite shortage in the sup
ply, and yesterday prices advanced and
will remain up until the stock on hand at
the wharf is increased by vessels coming
in with the fruit aboard. Instead Of
eight or ten vessels bringing from $4,000
to 10000 melons, only three came into
port yesterday, and their total cargoes
were less than 10000.
Northerly winds are assigned as the
cause Of the failure of the melon boats to
come into port, as several are reported
in the river on their way here. Yesterday
afternoon and this morning the 18th
street wharf was crowded with teams
loading melons for uptown dealers to
meet their Saturday trade. and 1t is
said that by tonight the supply on hand
will be about obliterated.
Melons were selling this morning at
from IS to so per hundred, and extra
fine fruit was bringing even higher prices.
