Man Who Entered Seven
Houses Is Still at Large.
FOUR SUSPECTS RELEASED
Victims Fail to Identify Any of
Them as the Masked Burglar.
WAS AN AMATEUR, POLICE SAY
Officials Also of Opinion that Pale
Complexioned Intruder Is Adj.
dicted to Use of Drugs.

Four men were arrested by the police
of the first precinct today on suspicion
of being the masked burglar who en-
tered six boarding houses early yes
terday morning.
Several Of the persons who were rob-
bed and who obtained d good look at
the intruder called at the station house
and had look at the men under ar
rest None of the suspects resembled
the robber, they said and the prisoners
were accordingly released.
The belief of the police is that the
burglar was addicted to the use of drugs
Believe He Is an Amateur.
Several of his victims i'm describing him
remarked that both his hands and face
We're unusually white. This leads the
police to believe the burglar is Il dope

That the burglar is not a professional
also is the belief of the police. me
fact that lie entered six houses in the
same neishbOrhood stamps him as an
amateur in the eyes of the police au-
thorities. a professional burglar, they
say. would not even enter two houses 1T
the same neighborhOod. Having aroused
one household, the professional would I'M
medately get out of that locality for fear
of being arrested by the police, who I'M

when word of d robbery has reached
them.
The pale complexion combined with the
location OF the houses robbed has caused
the police to reach the conclusion that
while under the influence of drugs the
burglar went forth and took chances in
rObbing houses that the most skillful pro-
feSSiOnal crook would never dare to take.
Seventh Robbery Reported.
The police late yesterday afternoon re-
ceived a seventh report of the operations
early yesterday morning of the man,
Miss Ethel Stems of 937 II street north
west informing them that she discover
ed the man in her bedroom about 4:1a
o'clock yesterday morning. He is be-
lieved to have gone to Miss Stems home
directly from the house at 10th street and
Grant place northwest, from where he
was frightened off.
Miss Storms told the police of the first
precinct she was awakened by slight
noise. Upon opening her eyes an cleo
trio light shone in her face.
Now keep quiet and tell me where
you keep your money" the man is said
to have told her.
Instead of doing commanded, Miss
Stems let out a scream, which was
heard throughout her home. The man.

RULING FAVORS BUILDERS.
Need Not Show Permits in Future
When Asked By Police,

Because of an opinion handed down
from the Police Court bench today by
Judge Pugh, it will not be necessary fol-
a builder in constructing any building tc
exhibit his building permit at the reques,
of police officers, and the builder does
not have to prove he has such permit.
Francis II. Javins was on trial, charged
with violating the building regulations.
He was constructing a wood shed on his
premises, and, it was alleged. failed to
show a permit when asked to do so by a
building inspector.
Attorneys for the defense contended
that the prosecution must first prove that
Javins did not have a permit, even
though he did not show the inspector one.
before the defendant could be found
guilty Assistant Corporation Counsel
John NJ. George held that Javins must
prove that he had the permit.
Judge Push upheld the contention of the
defense and instructed the jury to render
verdict of not guilty. Mr.. George noted
an appeal.

SEEK ADDITIONAL FUNDS
FOR CARE OF CHILDREN
Commissioners Urge $4,000
Deficiency Appropriations
for Next Year.

In accordance with a recommendation
by AlonZo Tweedale, auditor. the Com
missioners of the District of Columbia
have included in their 1918 deficiency esti-
mates an item of $1,000 for the care OF
feeble-minded children; one of $4,000 for
the board and care of children, and a third
of $1,000 in lieu of $3.50 that may be
paid to institutions adjudged to be under
secretarian control.
The need of deficiency estimates fol
these purposes was brought to the atten-
ton of the Commissioners by B. Pick
man Mann, president of the board of chill
dren's guardians. This official pointed out
that for the fiscal year 1911-1912 the board
received an appropriation of $4,000 for
the care of feeble-minded children and
expended $17,s4S.33, leaving a balance Of
S2151.67. For the year 1912-1913 it has
received an appropriation of $4,000. If
expenditures are made at the same rate
in the present fiscal year as in the pre-
ceding one, a deficit would be created in
the care of these children, Mr. Mann
urged.
Expenses Exceed Appropriation.
Statements submitted to the Com
missioners by the president of the board
show that expenditures maze Tor the
care of wards of the board are S2,647.5O in
excess of the amount of the appropriation
allotted the first quarter of the current
fiscal year.
Concerning the request for an appro-
priation to cover this deficiency, Auditor
Tweedale reported that the board has no
discretion as to the number of children
that shall be provided for under this APP
preparation, as it is required to accept al!
children committed to its care on the or
ders of the court. He declared the de-
ficiency to be a legal one, resulting in the
Commissioners deciding to insert in their
estimates an item of $1,000 to make
good the shortage.
Mr.. Tweedale reported that it is prac-
tically impossible to care for a certain
class of wards except in sectarian insti-
tutions and urged the substitution III
1860 for the 81 800 that may be paid in
situations of this character The Com
missioners' order for the insertion of the
deficiency items states that the board will
be expected to exercise every reasonable
care to confine expenditures under the ap-
preparations involved to the minimum re-
quirements.
