that he was able to identity in the

Commissioner Brownlow's Views.

Absolute prohibition of the sale in the
District of pistols or other weapons
that may be concealed in ones clothing
is favored by Commissioner Brownlow.
He would not stop here, but would
make the carrying of concealed wea-
rons felony instead of a misdemeanor,
as at present.
It is not unlikely that these views on
the pistol "toting" problem, which
again is looming up as serious men
ace to the peace of the community, ma Y
be Incorporated in law to be recon-
mended to Congress at the next session.
The Commissioner said today that he
has been giving the matter consider
able study, and that he intends to dis
cuss the advisability of recommending
such a law with his collea CUES on the
board before Congress conyenes in De

Bill Failed in Last Session.

The police official further stated that
he is opposed to the display of pistols
in store windows. Their display, he
said, is suggestive and bad and should
be stopped by law. He said the enact
ment and enforcement of a law safe
guarding sales of weapons would result
in preventing sales to irresponsible per-
sons
Representative Sims of Tennessee in
troduced a bill in Congress at the last
session which was intended to cure the
evil of selling weapons and permitting
them to be carried. His bill provided
against the sales of weapons of every
kind and description and provided pen
atty of not less than six months nor more
than one year and a fine Of from 800 to
$500.
Mr. Sims bill was not passed. 1t is
said it is similar to the law on the statute
books in Texas. where. it is stated, the
sales of weapons are forbidden.

Citizens Association Interested.

Particular interest in the question was
manifested by the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association, Evan H
Tucker, president, and DR.. J.. D. Walter
chairman of the committee on police
department, discussing it.
TT is an astonishing fact that man
murderously inclined or one suffering
from melancholia and thinking of sui
eide may enter a store, pay the price
and get a death-dealing instrument,
DR.. Walter told the association.
TT is an alarming condition of af-
fairs" he added, land one which should
claim the attention of the District Com
missioners."
Maj. Pullman, discussing the question
with a Star reporter today, said he
favors the enactment of a law that will
permit the sale of weapon only after
the police have had an opportunity to
investigate the character and standing
of the person who desires to make the
purchase.
Ten days should intervene between
the time the application is made and
the time of delivery" said the chief of
police Such a period would undoubt-
eddy prevent some homicides. 1t would
give an excited man time to consider
his intended act before taking life and
enable him to cool Off"

Not Interested in Valuation.

Commissioner Brownlow then wanted
to know if Mr. Sangster had not been
limited to requesting only the records in
view of a conversation he had had with
W. F. Ham, vice president of the COM
pany, in which the latter had said that
the company was not interested in the
valuation. Mr.. Sangster said that this
also was true.
1t is expected that the cross examina-
ton of Mr. Sangster will be concluded
tomorrow Charles l.. Pillsbury, who
made a physical examina ton of the com
PAWS property for the commission, will
go on the stand next week, according to
present indications. The hearing promises
to last several weeks longer.

Of human life from persons who
have the ever-ready pistol at their
command He told a Star re-
porter this morning that he is
heartily in favor of change in
the law which makes it so easv
matter for thug or other If
responsible person to purchase
deadly weapons.
Il heartily indorse the campaign
against the easy purchase of such
weapons that was waged by The Even
ing Star a year or more ago., he said.
The law governing the sales of
weapons is an act of Congress, said Maj.
Pullman, and he doubted if the Com
missioners would have power to enact
a regulation covering the subject. He
thinks, however, that it is worth a
trial. but what action he will take he
has not determined.
Maj. Pullman said he deplored the
six killings during the past few days,
and agreed that they suggested a dras-
tic law governing the sac and carrying
of weapons. Last year, when The Stars
campaign against the promiscuous sale
of weapons was waged, it received the
Endorsement of persons in public and
private life and members of civic or
ganiza tionS.

SEVERE LOSS BY LEAF CURL
Disease 10 Responsible for Failure Of
Peach Crop In Some Orchards
Use Bordeaux.

II has been estimated that leaf curl
causes an annual loss OF two millions
TO three millions OF dollars TO tho
peach industry OF the United States.
II ia largely responsible for the failure
OF the peach crop In some orchards
and for the short life OF the trees.
The most familiar aspect OF the dis
ease is the swollen. distorted appear.
ance OF the leaves In the early spring.
When the disease first becomes appar.
ent. the swollen portions of the leaves
are usually OF light red or pink color.
The affected leaves gradually turn vel.
low, finally blacken and fall to the
ground. In some cases the trees may
be nearly defoliatcd. thus making Il
necessary to develop an entire second
crop OF leaves. This is a severe strain
upon the vigor and reserve energy OF
the tree. and unless II Is we'll cult.
