JOHNSTON APPEALS
FORLARGER POLICE
FORCE IN CAPITAL
Cites Need of Additional Pro.
lection for Expected lnaug-
uration Crowds.

On the eve of the inauguration when
Washington will have within its gates
larger number of visitors during q
specified time than any other city in
the country, Gems John A. Johnston,
Police Commissioner of the District, has
pointed out to the House Committee
on Appropriations the urgent need for
an increased police protection.
Calling attention to the fact that the
Police Department of Washington is
required to watch over property COW
ering a larger area, and to safeguard
the lives of a larger number OF citizens
than is proportionately required of the
police of other American cities, Gen.
eral Johnston urges Congress to come
to the relief of the Capital.
Needed Here In March.
Various estimates of VISITORS during
inauguration week range from 10000
to 10000 persons. This is exclusive of
the native Washingtonians who make OF
the Inauguration period a homecoming
week. General Johnston, in his appeal
to Congress. points out that too much
is expected of the police of the District
when its numerical strength is consid-
cred.
With sharpened pruning knives the
subcommittee of the House Appropria-
tions Committee began to put the final
touches on the District of Columbia ap-
preparation bill, which will be reported
TO the House carly next week
The subcommittee had before IT the
printed hearings on the annual es-

MANAGER DAGG CHANGES
VAUDEVILLE ARRANGEMENTS

Last week we announced that first
class vaudeville would be one OF the
features of the Emma Theatre ev-
cry Monday and Tuesday evening
A change has been made in this ar
rangement whereby better vaudeville
will be secured for the programs. In
stead of taking the regular run Of
vaudeville on every Monday and
Tuesday evening Manager Dagg has
decided to pick two each week from
the number of vaudeville artists on
the official circuit. This arrange
ment prevents him from announcing
any permanent date but also gives
him the privilege of making his
choice of the attractions and get
ting the very best two nights in the
week. Dates will be announced lat
er under the new arrangement

DISASTROUS BLAZE
NARROWLY AVERTED
Chris. Henrlcksen Building on Eighth
Street Gutted by Fire Sans
Quick Lunch Destroyed and Stock
of Spottswood Five and Ten Cent
Store Badly Damaged.

Thursday night about ten o'clocl
fire broke out in the rear of the
room in the Hendricksen building
occupied by Sam Justices lunch
counter and before the blaze was
controlled the lunch room had been
totally destroyed and the stock oi
tpe Spottswood Five and Ten Cent
store in the adjacent room was
damaged to the extent of several
hundred dollars. The lunch room
was not insured but the stock of the
five and ten cent store was amply
covered by insurance.
The fire originated in the rear
room used by the Justice family
as a bed room. Mr.. Justice himself
was in Weiser and the firo was on
ly discovered by Mrs. Justice when
she went to put the two children
to bed. On opening the bed room
door a huge volume of fire and
flame greeted her She at once
picked up both the children and ran
out into the street with them clad
only in their night clothes as the
fire had gained such headway as to
make it impossible for her to get
any of their clothing. Promrt work
On the part of some passersby who
got out the hose cart is all that
saved the room occupied by the
five and ten cent store from burn
ing. The building is an old frame
affair and has been in years past
used as a meat shop. Those who
were first on the scene say 1t burn
ed like tinder. 1t was fortunate in
deed that there was no wind blow
ing as with a high wind the dam
age would have been much greater
and the Fitzgerald building occupied
by H. C. Vears barber shop would
in all probability have burned.
All of the fixtures in the restaur-
ant owned by Mr.. Justice were de-
stroyed and the clothing of the en-
tire family entailing hard loss on
them.

AN ENJOYABLE DINNER PARTY

A number of friends of c. A Berd-
ing were privileged to enjoy din
ner party at 'NThe Bluffs" on last
Friday evening given by Mrs. Berd-
ing in honor of the anniversary Of
her husbands birth. The guests
drove to the Berding home in the
early evening hours and the seven
mile drive just fitted them to thor
oughly enjoy the well known hospi-
tality of the Berding home. 1t is
impossible for the writer, who was
privileged to be one of the guests, to
describe the perfectly appointed tab
lie or the wholesome pleasure of the
evening. Each guest found at his
place "Dinnergram" containing an
appropriate greeting, the reading of
which caused much merriment and
the evening began with dull care abb
solutely banished and with nothing
to eat but food. Nothing to have but
fun" The guests presented Mr..
Berding with a memento of the ey-
ening, a beautiful pair of military
brushes. Until the wee small hours
goodfellowship and pleasure held
full sway and when the guests de-
parted it was with the sincere wish
that Mr. Berding live to enjoy many
more like anniversaries and that
they be privileged to enjoy them
with him. Mrs. Berding was ass s.
ed in serving by Mrs. George Re-
zac. Those present were L. w. Spauld-
ink, B. L. Downs, John A. Harader.

Advantage of Advertising.
The big crowds attracted to the
clearance sale being held by E. c.
Keith & Son are amp.e evidence
that it pays to advertise. With
big two page advertisement last
week and a large number of circu-
lars Keith & Son advised the buying
public that on Saturday they would
start their semi annual clearance
sale. Saturday all day immense
crowds thronged the store and it
was all a large force of clerks
could do to wait on the customers
all day long. The sale continues all
this and next week and while there's
no question but what Keith Son
