FINES INCREASED.

Commencing today, May l, all per-
sons arrested for being drunk in
Washington will be fined $50. If dis
orderly the assessment may run to
s75 or 500. Should such delinquents
refuse to tell where they procured
their liquor an additional fine of $50
will be added. 1t is the intention of
the Police Department to arraign all
persons who sch liquor in the National
Capital, and drastic measures will be
inaugurated to accomplish this result.
Most of she liquor sold in Alexan-
dra is brought here from Washing
ton. ''Drunks," when arrested in this
city and asked where they obtained
their liquor, generally answer an
Baltimore" There is every reason to
believe that they buy it in this city,
but the dipsomaniacs will not tell Of
whom or where 1t may be suggested
that the Police Court can impose 4 fine
of 500 for contumaciousness, and this
may be resorted to in order 20 break
up the trade in liquor, which seems
TO be on the increase.
