WARE ARE ON GUNS
TO STRIKE AT SALE
Police Court Officials Say Pur-
chase of Weapons Is
Far Too Easy.
LAW NOW INADEQUATE,
is OPINION EXPRESSED
Judges Pugh and Mullowny in
Favor Of More Stringent
Regulations.

The consensus of opinion of the Police
Court authorities. who probably have
more experience with the gun packing'
and razor-carrying element of the city
than any other persons in the District,
is that the purchase of deadly weapons
should be made n very difficult matter,
and the punishment for transgressons
against this law severe.
Judge Pugh, when interviewed today by
representative of The Star. said that
the campaign against the carrying OF
weapons, especially revolvers, is one Of
the most useful agitations ever conducted
in Washington, and one to which every
one of the better class of citizens should
heartily subscribe.
Congress cannot go too far" Judge
Pugh said. toward preventing the carry
ing of deadly weapons. While every one
is guaranteed the right of having wea-
pons in his home. under a provision of
the Constitution. yet it would do no harm
To have the authorities apprised of every
one so armed

Would Aim at Sale.

The way to reduce the ranks of the
'gun-toters. the Judge continued, lis to
strike at the sale of firearms. At present
there is law making it an offense to sell
deadly weapons without having obtained
a special permit to dispose of them but a
tax should be put upon the purchaser OF
the weapons"
Judge Mullowny declared himself to he
in absolute sympathy with any law that
would reduce the number of persons who
carry weapons. Il think" Judge Null
lowry said, that the sale of firearms
should be more strictly supervised. and
that it should be made a difficult thing to
procure a gun
There Is very little reason for any
one carrying a revolver at any time,
the judge continued. land at present
there is not a single permit to carry one
operative in the city. There is a bond
OF $500 required of every one to whom
permit is granted by the clerk of the
Police Court. with the consent of Judge
Pugh and myself. and such permits are
granted only after good and sufficient
reasons have been set forth why the ap-
plicant should be granted this privilege.
The permit is good for only thirty days.

Present Law Not Effective.

THE present law does not seem effect
lively to prevent the carrying of re-
volvers." the judge said further. land the
only way to prevent this pernicious prac-
tice of persons going armed is to enact
some law making the purchase of
weapons an extremely hard matter. 1t
would be a grave mistake. l think, too.
to strike out the word openly from the
proposed law. This section Is very
necessary"
Francis A. Sebring. the clerk of the
Police Court. by whom all permits to
carry arms are granted. when questioned
today by a Star reporter, said that the
solution of the problem, as he sees It,.
is to make it necessary for any person
who wishes to purchase a revolver to
apply to the Police Court authorities. and
state the reasons why he desires to have
the firearm.
BY this system. Mr.. Sebring said, the
character of the man desiring to pur-
chase any weapon may be investigated,
and if he is considered unfit to be in
trusted with gun the permit will be re-
fused.

Real Estate Bond Required.

Under the present system" Mr.. Sc
bring said, I'VE require that the appli-
cant for a permit to carry revolver for
thirty days furnish a real estate bond of
5000 and in my opinion. similar bond
should be required when person IS
granted a permit to purchase a revolver.
Then, in the event of the successful ap-
plicant for the privilege of buying a
gun making some unwise use of it, the
bond will be forfeited. in addition to
whatever other penalties may be in

One point on which both judges and the
clerk of the court agreed was that the

hibiting the carrying of arms and the
proposed law to make their purchase 4
matter of difficulty should not be made
too severe. They each expressed the opin-
ion that in such case juries would almost
invariably acquit prisoners charged with

tense. though they might be unquestion-
ably guilty.

HOUSE Job HOLDERS
GET LEASE OF LIFE
Demand of Caucus for Infor-
nation Enables Them to
Hold Jobs.

Another lease Of life was given today
to the jobs connected with the House Of
Representatives, when In conformance
with the caucus action Of yesterday
Representative Humphreys of Mississippi
and Representative Covington of Mary
land, members Of the patronage commit
tee, started in to draw up a tabulaton
showing just how much pie is now in
the possession of each democrat Repre-
sentative Doremus. the third member of
the committee, left for Michigan yester-
day
hTe patronage committee presented to
the caucus yesterday plan to save the
efficiency of the work of the employees
and the clerical service CT the House. and
still have ninety jobs which could be
properly distributed as patronage
Ask to Be Shown.
The caucus listened very carefully. and
with it's nav hungry for pie sent the
report back to the committee with in
st1'uctions to draw up the tabulation
mentioned, so that the world may see
just what patronage is controlled by each
and every representative. The caucus
wants to see the name of every member
of the House with the name or names of
each and every employee credited to that
mans political patronage.
Now this is going to be a long and hot
job. and as the patronage committee has
no clerk of its own there will be no i'm
mediate report. Meantime, the ninety
men whose jobs We're endangered draw
further pay days. BY the action in the
caucus yesterday the new members
simply placed an obstruction in their way
to quick distribution of patronage.
ha,- <@JI -
will be impossible to clean out every
job and have a new deal all around, but
the new members want to be shOVn.
Therefore. they put off the day when
of the many hangers-on around the
Capitol. and ninety jobs. such as elevator
conductors messengers. etc, will be
filled. Had the caucus accepted the
yesterday today the hungry ones might
be led to the pie counter and told to
dive and take their pick.
Think Lloyd Is Favored.
One of the things some of the misguided
ones want to have shown up in cold
type is the amount of patronage con-
trolled by Representative Lloyd of Mis-
souri, chairman of the committee on ac-
counts, and until few days ago chair
man of the democratic congressional COM
mittee. There is an impression abroad
that Mr.. Lloyd has several members of
his family covered into the fold by pat
ronage. Consequently there is to-do
among new members who can't even get
a dollar and half a day laborer placed.
An investigation of the facts today
shows that Representative Lloyd has not
a nickels worth of House patronage. He
is committee chairman, and the rules
Of the House allow committee chairmen
to make their own personal selections for
clerical help in the committees These
committee jobs are not part of the pie
counter-therefore those who have been
cunning for Representative Lloyd will
fail to bag him.

Il am not afraid of woman suffra ge,'

want 1t, hut if the proposition were put

The poets exclamation: 20 Life I
feel thee bounding in my veins" is a
joyous one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty to them
selves. are among the most unfortu-
nate. They do not live. but exist; for to
live implies more than TO be. To live is
to be well and strong-to arise feeling
equal to the ordinary duties of the day,
and to retire not overcome by them
to feel life bounding in the veins. a
medicine that has made thousands of
people. men and women, we'll and
strong, has accomplished a great work,
hestowing the richest blessings. and
that medicine is Hoods Sarsa parilla.
The weak. rundown, or debilitated,
from any cause, should not fail to take
it. 1t builds up the whole system,
changes existence into life. and makes
life more Astounding. We are glad to
say these words in its favor to the
readers Of our columns.
