SYLVESTER BLAMES
RACE MEETINGS FOR
ROBBER|ES |NC|TY
Superintendent of Police
Says Carelessness of Resi-
dents Encourages Thefts.

Blaming the race meetings as being
responsible for the large number Of
robberies in Washington during the
last few weeks, Major Sylvester said
today that he did not believe the
thefts were the work of "profes-
sional' crook
The races are a bad thing for

they feel that It will not go very

WOMAN IS the
BETTER-BETTER MALT.

Man only thinks he is the lord Of Gre
alton. His. in reality, is the puppet
crown. The power behind the throne
pulls the strings. Woman rules by
wit. by art. by subtlety: but chief Of
her weapons are beauty Of face and
grace OF line.
Women feel their sovereignty grow
less sovereign, therefore, as their weight
increases. This is fatal error To
prevail. woman must be graceful. Man
will not escape slavery, but he will be
some one elses slave. That's the rub.

BOARD SEPARATION
MAY RESULT FROM
KALBFUS HEARING
Propriety of Speculation
Also May Be Questioned
in Final Verdict.

Interest In the verdict the Commits
sioners will find In the Kafbfus- Excise
Board hearings centers in the guilt or
Innocence of Samuel 7. Kalbfus on the
cha rges made against him and the prob
able recommendation to Congress to
separate the Excise Board from the
Board of Assistant Assessors. the two,
under the present system. being In the
same personnel.
A third question may be brought out
In the suggestion OF some regulation
concerning the proprety OF a member
,of the Excise Board and Of the Board
Of Assessors being a heavy speculator
in real estate.
1t Is In evidence in the present inves-
tlgation that Major Judson once warned
Mr.. Kalbfus that 1t did not look well
for @ member Of the board to be specu-
lating in real estate and In this connec-
ton 1t Is suggested by District officials
that the assessors Of the District have
unusual opportunities for learning land
values and to know Of proposed future
improvements.
Propose to Regulate.
The Commissioners are said to have
considered offering a recommendation
to Congress on the subject that will
regulate such investment or speculation
in realty that still will allow members
Of the Board of Excise Assessors, or of
the Excise Board to exercise their con-
stitutional rights to buy and sell real
estate or to deal in any other legiti-
mate transactions.

saloons in the District, the policy Of

keep the number about the same each
year and to prevent. II possible. any
increase in the total. The Commission
ers. 1t is declared, will ask Congress to
put some statutory Limitation on the
number Of saloons. not only in the Dis
trict, but also in its subdivisions.
Surplus Of saloons in certain sections
Of the city is one of the evils most
bitterly complained of In the present
investigation.
After Petition Signers.
Another question concerns the qualifi-
cations Of saloon petition signers. The
Commissioners have hinted that they
disapprove the alleged practice of cut
ting up a piece Of property for which
a saloon license Is asked into a dozen
or more parts. for which deeds are said
to be recorded, only for legal signatures
to the petition. hTe Excise Board. ac-
cording to testimony, recently has been
throwing out such signatures.
A. +. Shoemaker. an Anti-Saloon
League attorney, who testified regard
ing this alleged deciding practice, has
been asked by the Commissioners to
bring them the copy of a law of some
other Commonwealth which aims to
lit
selling of liquor in places where FEEDER
al license has been secured where no
District permit has been sought nor
granted, the Commissioners may. ii is
said, instruct the police to take action.
Taking of testimony in the kalbfus
hearing will be resumed tomorrow
morning at II o'clock, and it is possible
that may be the last session.
