letter from Commander Robinson, L. s.

was delighted to find that although the
men had gone all through his house it
was in the best OF order.

partments OF the District government
are doing a very large measure Of their
whole duty toward the public. / know

HOW HE KEEPS GOING.

Maj Sylvester has given out that his
ability to keep going is due partly to
his trick Of keeping crackers and cheese
in his pocket. that he may restore his
waning strength when necessary. In q
recent trial of policeman who stopped
his patrolling to get a cup of coffee and
some buttered toast, Mai. Sylvester re-
minded the man on trial that sandwich
in the pocket is worth two days leave OF
absence:
I have to carry a cracker and cheese
in my pocket to keep going" said the
major, land don't see why a patrolmen
should not do 1t, too
A recent admonition to the force car
ried the hint that every policeman should
carry sandwich while on duty. The
policeman in the present case told the
major 1t was inconyenient.
But not so inconvenient as coming be-
fore the trial board"
Two days leave Of absence stricken
from his annual allowance was the pun
ishment melted out, which a sandwich
might have saved

Two Partisan carriages, worth abou

ruined by fire about 2:45 o'clock this

Fire Marshal Nicholson is Investigating
the fire. Two fires occurred in the stable
In rear of 1921 X street several weeks
ago. In each instance about or 3
O'Clock in the morning. This frequency
of trouble suggests incendiary work. al
though nothing has been found to indi-
cate such a condition.
The blaze this morning reached the
shaft leading TO the cupola and was seen
by persons in the neighborhood. Col.
Mays chauffeur was one of the first on
hand and made an effort to extinguish
It,
An alarm from box III summoned four
engines and two truck companies, the
water tower also responding. The fire.
men found the chauffeur throwing a
stream OF water from a garden hose into
the building.
The chauffeur found the door of the
building fastened when he reached there.
Nothing indicated that there had been
a trespasser in the building.
Shortly after the arrival Of the fire
men the burning vehicles were moved
from the building. The bodies and tops
had been destroyed.
Members of the fire department say
the blaze started in one of the vehicles.
From what cause they are unable to
determine. The blaze spread rapidly to
the other carriage.
-Four fires have occurred in buildings
in that alley this winter Fire Marshal
Nicholson said today. I'm only one in
stance could the cause be determined
THAT was in a garage and was due to
spontaneous combustion. Some greasy
rags had been left on the floor"
The carriages, which were practically
destroyed, cost $500 each. Col. May
had them insured for $500 each. The
stable was given thorough cleaning
two days ago and preparations were
made for horses Col. May proposed to
buy.
