The pool of the passenger business has been adjusted satisfactorily to all the English, Ger man and French lines, and will be divided according to tonnage of the steamers.

 It had long been the boast of the Washington police department that Washinston's tenderloin was the safest place in the city" and that boast was not baseless It was rare occasion for any of the unfortunates to be taken into court, and arrests of habitues of the houses or of casual visitors were far from frequent.

It was also proved by the police that this semi-official recognition and segregation meant that Washington's streets. by day ,or night. were abso- lutely free of"street walkers. The wo- men of the segregated district were known and registered as such, and they knew that street walking" would mean exile from Washington
