Painters Refused Raise,
Drop Brushes; Strike On

Nearly two-score painters, members
of the Painters and Decorators Local
Union, are on strike as a result OF a
general walkout declared by the union
following the refusal of "a a day scale,
starting June ].
The walkout was ordered when cer-
tain members of the Master Painters
Association and independent boss
painters" declined to boost wages %
cents a day. The action follows agita-
tion that began last spring. when a
compromise was reached by which the
men were to receive an immediate in
crease of % cents day, with sec
ond like raise June 1.
Work was stopped on more than
dozen different buildings at noon Satur-
day. Since then agreements have been
made with some OF the bosses, and
they have met the required advance.
The strike is the only one of the
year In Washington, and with the eN-
ception OF a short one by the painters
last spring Is the only one since the
big building trades strike of five years
ago. \ renewal OF labor trouble has
stirred old strife to the extent that
several labor men are criticising the
Central Labor Union for its attitude ip
local politics. -!

POLICE TO KEEP
TABS ON CROOKS
Special Force Of Detectives Will BE Duty Protect
Crowds From the LightlFingered Gentry Sure to
4. Be Here for Unveiling.

Any event that attracts great throng
of visitors to a city always attracts a
proporuonate number of professional
crooks. This, of course, applies to the
unveilins of the Columbus Memorial,
and with a view of protecting the
thousands Of strangers who will be In
the city, as we'll as the citizens of the
District, elaborate plans have been made
by the Police Department to- check the
operations of any crooks who hope TO
reap harvest in the National Capital
Pickpockets require crowds to success
fully ply their trade. They will prob
ably be the most numerous Of any class
OF crooks who will be In Washington.
Rut events of this character frequently
attract house men" as the police refer
to burglars. short-change artists, finn
Hammers of every description, petty
confidence men, "touts," and a hundred
and one other varieties of professional
thieves
Crowds help their business. Among
the visitors there are always a number
who indulge too freely in the Gun that
cheers. This makes them easy prey for
the crooks. II they have had enough
liquor TO put them in a stupor, all the
thieves have to do Is to reach in their
pockets and relieve them of money and
other va!uables: II they have not drunk
inveigled into a money matching game
or some other gambling swindle that
separates them from their valuables.
Then, too. the regular card sharpers
siWays seem to find a few victims in
No Haven for Crooks.
But the professional crook will not
find Washington a particularly good
place to land this week. The visitors
from the under world will find a recep-
ton committee just as ready to greet
them as will the legitimate visitors.
the committee will be Of another
sort. Each member will have a badge
beneath his coat and the preliminary
arrangements for the crooks sojourn
will be made at Police Headquarters.
When the crowds begin to arrive for
the unveiling there will be stationed at
Union Station, the steamboat wharves,
and all other means of entrance to the
city, detectives from the local depart
ment. At the hotels will be other mem
hers OF the detective corps and plain
clothes men detailed from the uniformed
force. Cooperating with them will be

renown in the country. Where these
extra fifty men are coming from is be-
ing kept a secret. Congress did not
1propriate any money for an addition
to the police force but. the out-of-town
detectives are going to be here just
the same.
II am going to have them here. and
that's all l can say about it," is Major
Sylvester's explanation.

Another warning given by the police
to residents of the city Is not to leave
their homes unprotected while the pa.
rade and unveiling exercises are going
on. Burglars assume at such times that
homes in the residential sections will
be unoccupied. thus giving them an ex,
cellent opportunity to work. OF course

the police to guard every residence.
Pickpockets In Majority.
Pickpockets. the police believe, form
the majority of the criminals who are
now headed for Washington. and 1t will
be against them that the detectives will
confine their chief efforts.
A crowd such as will gather along the
Avenue, around the memorial at the
Union Station plaza. and on the streets
afterward is an ideal field for work for
close together and have their attention
fixed on something else II is easy for
pickpocket to operate.
Pickpockets seldom work alone. The
whose duty is to jostle the victim or
otherwise attract his attention.. the
dip or the "wire," who does the ac-
tual stealing, and the getaway" to
whom the booty is passed.
The short-change artists are a class
of swindlers who are with us every day
in the year, but whose number will
probably be augmented by some clever
crooks who are expected to be In town
next Saturday. Here Is the usual way
the short-change trick Is worked:
A stranger enters q store and makes
a purchase. He hands over a bin OF
large denomination. After receiv'ns tile
change he remarks he has a smaller
wish to deprive the cash register of all
its change. He hands back the change
and the other bill and receives the other
bill back. The change returned looks
like IT is all there. but after the genial
stranger departs II is usually found that
part OF It Is missing.
Rolling a drunk' is another common
form of thievery. and the man who
takes more than Is good for him will dc
we'll to- avoid doing so with strangers
The simplest thing in the world Is to
take a wtach or a roll of money from a
man in liquor
Summed up. the advice which the
police give for occasions of" this kind
Is to watch your pocketbook, your
home, and don't make casual acquaint-
ances. --. -" .,-..l5 =, ,--.-.rl

Walters Fail to Win
Federation's Support

The budding walters union in
Washington Is being severely let
alone by the American Federation
Of Labor and will not be supported
in its demands on Washington hotel
keepers by that body. The walters
have temporarily decided against af-
filiating with the American Fedora
tion of Labor and the officials of the
national organization who took much
interest in the matter at first have
promptly dropped 1t and now say
that the walters can hoe their own
row and see how they like it,"
1t was reported this morning that
the walters would meet at Costello
noon and there formulate their de-
mands on Washington hotel keepers
AT ] o'clock, however, 1T was stated
by Walter Costello that, so far as
he knew the hall had not been en-
gagged.
Paul Guttzeht and A. Lewis, of the
New York walters union, are in
Washington and are seeking mem
1t is stated that dissatisfaction
among the walters at the Willard
Hotel has been quieted by a meet
ing called the first of the week. At
that time the walters presented their
proposition for increased wages and
the hotel management promised them
that their wages would be increased
when the New York strike is settled,
; the Increase granted there to be the
index of what should be done in
Washington. IT is said that this
promise satisfied the walters tempor-
arily.
Hotel managers assert that the
walters agitation in Washington
comes largely from men who are out
and are trying to get back into the
service and that the men actually en-
ployed are satisfied with the condi-
tions under which they are working.

PAIR OF JAPANESE
ARE NAMED IN SUIT

James OR. Kuhn, Jr., Will
Be Granted Decree Follow

Disclosed in the divorce suit Of James
OReilly Kuhn, jr., against Mrs. Edith
c. Kuhn, accomplished daughter Of d.
O'C. Callaghan, a Washington lawyer,
which ended today with an absolute de-
cree for the husband, is one of the most
remarkable romancces ever unfolded in
a local court.
Chief Justice Clabaugh, announced in
Equity Court No. that he would sign
decree. after hearing arguments on
the sensational testimony.
Somewhere Mrs. Kuhn is hiding from
her husband and friends, he says, while
some of her friends believe she. is In
the power of the Japanese correspond
ents named in the bill. Two witnesses
testified they do not believe she is re-
sponsible for the scandal she has pre-
cipitated and the disgrace into which
she has been plunged, their theory be-
ing that the two Niponese affinities
WELD a powerful influence over her.
Mrs. Kuhn, so far as I could judge,
had no will power, and is easily led by
anyone" testified Mrs. Estelle Satow,
who Is married to New York Japa-
nese merchant.
Mrs. Satow told of driving a Japanese

as he seemed to have an influence over
her She said she did much to break
up the lnfatuation of the couple, but
her efforts, were unavailing, although
she was aided by her husband.
H. X. Satow, the husband of the
American woman, was an unwilling
witness In his native way he ex-
planned that he had pleaded with Mrs
Kuhn several times to be faithful to
her husband. He also said that she had
told him that she did not care much
for her husband and that she had be-
come engaged to him four years before
she married him

The testimony disclosed the fact Mrs
Kuhn first met the Satows at the

that way met the Japanese now named

The wnerea bouts of Mrs. Kuhn are
a mystery, according to the testimony
in the case. 1t was stated that she was
at Lancaster and Denver, Col. and
there were hints that she is now in the
land of the Mikado. Her husband tes-
tified that he did not know where she
is now
