WATER TAX RATE
CAUSES PROTEST
Citizens Ask Hearings on
Proposed Iurcease.

The Rhode Island Avenue Suburban
Citizens Association has sent a letter
to the District Commissioners, through
It's secretary, Charles L. Mendel, of 173o
Fort Drive northeast, protesting against
the proposed increase in water rates.
The association stated in the protest
that their objections to the proposed ac-
ton are practically the same as those
which have already been advanced by
the press, but that they will present
them specifically when a public hearing
on the subject is granted by the Com
missioners.
I'VE assume that before such an in
crease goes into effect the Commission
ers will grant a public hearing on the
question, so We may have a represent
ative of our organization to present our
objections reads a part Of the COM
munication.
In conjunction with other citizens as
sociations in the city the association in
tends to wage a strong fight against the
increase.

THIEF GETS SUIT
AND $50 IN CASH
Moy Longs Place Ransacked
by Bold Burglar.

A lone burglar early yesterday morn
ing entered the establishment Of Moy
Long at 1927 Seventh street northwest
and stole $50 in cash and a suit of cloth
ing. The thief not only ransacked every
drawer and closet in the place in search
of more money, but removed a large
cash register from the first floor to the
basement and made a vain attempt to
break 1t open. He failed, however, The
badly battered cash register was found
in the corner OF the basement by de-
tectives.
Evidently the burglar had acquainted
himself with the surroundings before he
attempted to rob the place. So cleverly
did he work that no one in the house at
the time heard any noises. When the
inmates of the house awakened they were
dumfounded at the topsy-turvy condition
Of the place and Immediately started an
investigation.

HUNT FOR HOLD-UP
MAN UNSUCCESSFUL
Highwayman Who Got $40
and Watch Escapes.

Although the police worked necessarily
yesterday in an effort to learn the iden-
tity of the negro footpad who held
up and robbed Harry Ecklofr and Theo-
dore Molter, two visitors in this city
from Wheeling, w. Va, early yesterday
morning, no clew to the robber could
be obtained. The two young men, who
are visiting friends in Georgetown, were
held UP in a vacant lot that fronts on
Warder street northwest.
When about a square from their desti-
nation in Warder street, the two young
men were met by a negro. Pointing a
revolver at the men, covering first one
and then the other, the negro demanded
that Ecklofr and Molter give UP what
money they had.
. Both young men turned out their
pockets on the announcement from the
thug that he would kill them II they
made an outcry. The robber obtained
so in money and a gold watch valued at
about $50. Still pointing the gun in the
faces Of his victims, the negro threatened
10 shoot them II they attempted to run
or call for help and then walked leisurely
away. When about 100 yards from the
two men he started running and was
soon lost from sight.
