EMBEZZLEMENT BILL PASSES.
New Penalties Provided Will Fa.
cilitate Trial of Minor Offenders.

The Senate Saturday afternoon passed
the bill. already passed by the House, fix
ing new penalties for embezzlement in the
District of Columbia. The practical ef-
feet of the enactment is to make it posi-
BILE TO try charges of embezzlement where
the amount involved does not exceed $50,
In the Police Court instead Of having the
charges investigated by the grand jury
and tried on indictment by jury in the
District of Columbia Supreme Court. Be-
cause Of the elaborate procedure now re-
quired for the cases OF small embezzle-
ment. prosecuting officials here requested
this change in the law.
In case the amount involved is less than
$50. the penalty fixed by the measure is
Imprisonment for not more than one year
or by fine of not more than $500 or
both: in case the amount is SO or more.
the penalty is not less than one year nor
more than ten years or a fine Of not more
than $1,000 Or both.

THE CROOKED STREET.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
The city Is a home.

The city is home.
1t is not only a place to make money
in; it is a place to live in.
Hence. why not have it honey. coy
and attractive, as we have our houses?
We are already coming up to this. We
have parks and fountains and statues.
But we are still long way off
We still erect office buildings, each
without reference to its neighbor, with
TO architectural harmony. hit and miss,
individualism run mad. We have I'M
slightly slums. We have hideous rows
of apartment buildings, about at
tractive in outward appearance as soli
diers' barracks, and inside hardly as
comfortable. Our cities are scraggly,
helter-skelter, ugly blotches on the land
pc.
Where humanity coasulates ought to
be the acme of art and beauty, the tri-
umph of human joy and loneliness. 1t
Is not 1t is the triumph of bad taste,
lawless competition, blatant advertising,
place to go when you have to, and to
leave when you can.
The charm of some of the old towns of
Europe consists in that they look as if
somebody lived there and loved it. The
modern parts of European capitals. to be
sure, are almost as hideous as Chicago
or Omaha. but the back streets are at
tfdctlNe- are cToOhet narrow WAY ,
over the river in Paris that look human.
and funny passages and hooks In an
cient London. and beloved haunts in
Florence while the lesser towns of Avig-
non and Mines, Subiaco, Rothemburg.
Regensburg, and the like really have the
appearance of human habitationS.
Why not get back to this, at least to
what of good there is in it. All of exist
ing New York and Boston and ST. Louis
will have to be taken down hundred
years from now: why not begin now
something beautiful for our children's
children?
They are. attempting this in. Chicago.
where wise and far-seeing citizens have
prepared a model of the future city beau
tiful and are working toward it. There
is no reason why every town in the
United States should not do likewise.
We lack the civic feeling. We are liv-
ing In the fag-end of the world-move-
ment of competition It's every man for
himself and devil take the hindmost. The
get together.
We cannot SO back to that medieval
solidarity of feeling that made the feudal
towns charming, for that feeling arose
from immobility, lack of transportation.
But we can go on to a new solidarity,
the unity of democracy, the sentiment
that creates IL Letchworth or a Bourn-
vile.
And the thing most to keep in mind is
that the real charm of a city is not it's
nroud public buildings, but the beauty OF
it's common houses and back streets.
Above all, let us have some crooked
streets, so that we may imagine we are
at home and not in penal colony.

These names antedate tho use OF Bur-

that nearly all OF them have given rise

and Stevenson. In the twelfth century
missionaries sent out by the authorities
used 70 baptEe whole villages at once,
and TO save time invested all tho men

After the reformation Il became the
fashion among the Pur1tans 20 give chill

Among these were Abel, Levi, jesse,
