THE NEW CONSTITUTION.

The newly elected delegates to the
Constitutional Convention have a gol.
den opportunity given to few men
for performing real service in behalf
of the people.
As everyone knows, the constitu'
ton, which is now in force in iii.
nois, is obsolete and new laws and
statutes are needed to keep in touch
with the present age we are living
in.
What the people want are good,
sane laws, but not too many, as Is
the trouble today.
Peoples rights should be respected
and the delegates have an opportu'
nifty OF giving the state decent tax
laws, good jury laws. clean election
laws, and also giving to the differ
ent municipalities in the state what
they deserve and demand-home.rule
In the matter of public utilities.

.gency Cases Only.

Home Defense League members

instructed explicitly to act only in
emergency cases when their assist
ance for the protection of life and
property is required
This statement was made today by
Secretary Harry F. Almond of the
league. who stated that aggressive
tactics on the part of it's members,
such as policemen would be justified
in following in the ordinary perform
ance of their duties, would not be
tolerated.
AS explained by Mr.. Almond, the
duty Of the Home Defense member Is
to step in only when danger actually
confronts others. For this work about
300 members of the league. recon-
mended by the police and league pre-
cinct captains, have been sworn in as
additional members Of the metropoli-

They have been given badges and
arms, and, particularly, they have

JOIN IN CAUTIONING
CITIZENS TO BE CALM
A Number of Prominent Washing
tonians Meet in Office of
Louis F. Post.

A number OF prominent Washing
tonians met yesterday afternoon in
the office OF Louis F. Post. assistant
secretary of the Department OF Labor,
and drew up joint statement eau
tioning citizens to be cain in the face
of exaggerated rumors during the
disorders.
The statement was issued by Mr..
Post, Alice Thatcher Post. Miss Julia
Lathrop, Edward P. Costigan. Mabel
c. Costigan. DR.. Evelyn c. Mitchell.
Miss Grace Abbott, Miss Jesse +.
Haver. Miss Mary Anderson and Miss
Caroline Fleming.
I'VE desire to call to the attention
of the public it says. that far from
preventing or avenging attacks upon
womanhood, the riots in Washing
ton have resolved themselves into ir-
responsible acts OF aggression upon
innocent people. Mob violence dis
credits our government and our in
situations.
Citizens who are concerned for the
good name of their city ard of their
country are urged to discount eSas-
gerated rumors of crime, and the
press is urged to Cooperate in mod
Grating the infiamed state OF the pub
lie mind.
THE Capital city naturally has a
particular responsibility TO set as
example OF moderation and justice
in dealing with Offenders against the
law. The public should remember that
crirne is individual. and the law must
be impartial. No one is safe unless
all are SAFE. -

citizens to refrain from gathering on
the streets at night and from I'M
necessarily driving their automobiles
through the streets, pending conclu-
sion Of the present state of unrest.
The resolution points out that the
police of the city have been greatly
interfered with in the performance OF
their duties by the presence of persons
peaceably disposed, but curiously in
clined, in the neighborhood of gather.
ings and demonstrations against the
lawful authorities, and that reported
conditions in the District are largely
exaggerated"
The resolution asks all good citizens
to lend their aid and support to the
fullest extent to the police authorities
in enforcing the law and maintaining

Under direction Of Lieut. Howard s.
Fisk of the Pay Corps. U. S. N, thirty
high-powered automobiles were mo-
biliZed at points throughout the city,
ready to rush police reserves and de-
tect;veS to the scene of any out
break. Several of the machines were
put on cruising duty" running
through streets in the troubled Sec
tions.
The quick methods of transportation
furnished through Lieut.. Fisk and the
cavalry were regarded as salient
measures of the protective work in
the city last night. Great stress was
la id on the necessity of getting to the
scene of any trouble within a short
space of time.
Hundreds of troops poured into the
city before nightfall from Camp
Meade. Added to the men of the pro-
yost guard and strong detachments
of marines from Quantico, this force
was organized into one of the strong
est protective bodies of men ever
mobilized in Washington for local
duty.

FUND ARTED TO GIVE RELIEF
WHEN CITY'S DEFENDERS FALL
Citizens IN Movement Will Make Pro-
vision for Families of Police and
Defense League Men.

A fund has been started for the
relief of the families OF members of
the Washington police force and
Home Defense League killed or dying
from wounds received while acting in
the performance of duty in quelling
the riots of the last few days.
The initial suggestion for the rails
ing of a relief fund was made to Maj.
Pullman, chief of police, by Saks &
Company. That company called atten-
ton to the fact that Detective Harry
Wilson, the only member of the police
department so far to lose his life, was
formerly employed by it and that
relief fund should commemorate the
bravery of the officer. Saks & co.
backed up it's suggestion by con-
tribution of $50.
General Relief Fund.
Mai. Pullman suggested today that
the families of members OF the rome
Defense League might also be mace
beneficiaries of q general rellef 1uno,
calling attention to the fact that there
is no provision whatever through pup
lie funds or otherwise for GAZING for
them.
Believing the cause a worthy one.
The Evening Star Newspaper Com.
nanv Announces contribution of
$500 to the general relief fund. And
it will be glad to receive further
subscriptions, acknowledging them in
The Star and forwarding them
promptly to Mai. Pullman. 1t Is be,
iieved that many business men and
other property owners and residents
wifi desire thus to express their ap-
probation of the services of the men
who are giving their lives Tor the
maintenance Of law and order in the
National Capital. The washington
