A STORY OF AN AUTOMOBILE
THREE STRANGERS AND
KIND OFFICERS

An automobile was ditched here one
night last week. Later young man
from Georgia was arrested, charged
with the larceny of the car. A day
o. so later his father arrived and sent
/, check to the owner for all that he
asked. The boy was held awaiting
tee sheriT's arrival to carry him back,
BIT as nothing definite turned up
after three days, the boy was allowed
to return home with his father. Ac-
companying the young man ON his
trip north when the car went wrong
was a hotel man who went broke at
che of the southern resorts. The
writer met all three of the partici-
pants named above. The father of
the boy was fine gentleman and as
such he was treated here by officers
and civilians as was also the hotel |
man who had staked his all and lost. |
Both these men left High Point sing
ing the city's praises because they
had found real friends in strange
city and all because High Point has
officers of the law who have hearts.
Big hearted Ed. Mungo especially
proved brother to them and Incl
Gentally caused High Point to receive
a; good name at their hands and who
knows but that it will result in a I
wonderful lot of good advertising {
from time to time, because both of {
these gentlemen are from influential
families, no matter if one was "doWn Y
and out" for the time being until he i
received a check from home. Better t
buttonhole of flowers now than 4
wagon-load when dead, and this edi- 7
tor wants to say right now that he
doesn't believe there is bigger t
hearted officer of the law anywhere O
than Desk Sergeant Ed. Mungo, of the h
city of High Point and we say this t.
from knowing the man intimately for
several years. Irish-like, he is al O.
ways jolly. There is no dark side to cl
his life, as far as outside appearances #
show and this is what counts. tt

Oyster and Judge Harrison
Score Keep Moving" Law
and Promise Relief.

washington's pVsh-cart vendors
found two new friends today In tne
persons of Commissioner James r.
Oyster and Judge Hardison. OF the
police court.
All Fines Under s..
Judge Hardison had four cases OF
violations of the keep moving law
by vendors OF fruit. and in no case
did he impose a fine In excess or %.
He said, after disposing OF the
cases, that he was of the opinion
that the men who were brought be-
fore him. and others in the same
line of business, were entitled TO
some consideration after they had
obtained their license and that IL
would be impossible for them to stay
in business II the police were con.
stantly on their trail. He said that
the Commissioners ought to provide
a remedy.
Commissioner Oyster told the dele
cation that waited on him today he
would see that they were given a
fair deal" and asked them to submit
written petition OF their grievances
The delegation was headed by Samuel
Scalco, president OF the United Fruit
Vendors Association, Charles Baut-
sele. secretary. and Harry T. Wheian,
their attorney.
Attorney Whelan told the Commits
sioner, Major Gessford, superintendent
OF police, and Francis II. Stephens,
corporation counsel, who were called
into the conference, that the fruit
vendors did not block traffic any more
than taxicabs did and that they were
not engaged in a harmful occupation.
Believes Law Useless.
He also contended that the keep
moving" regulation has no real. sub
stantial relation to public health,
morals, safety or convenience and
cited several decisions by leading
judicial tribunals to sustain his con.
tention.
Attorney whelan said he would not
engage in a legal controversy with
the District authorities unless II was
necessary to protect the rights OF
the fruit vendors.
Scalco told the Commissioners that
most OF the complaints against the
fruit vendors came from merchants
on Seventh street, who forgot that
II was not so long ago when they
themselves were struggling along in
a small business.

C|TYCLEAN-UP
Commissioners Open Drive to
Have D. c. PresentabIe for

general cleanup OF all Washing
ton was asked today by the District
Commissioners who issued a proclama.
ton to citizens asking them to clean
up store yards, buildings and dumps,
SO that when the disarmament con-
ference convenes here in November
Washington will be the city beauti-
full"
The Commissioners now have In
their possession, the names of about
800 residents OF Washington who
have neglected to keep their premises
clear OF weeds, and they are going to
give them a chance to clean up be-
fore they start court action.
Start With Weeds.
The idea of cleaning up the city 50
as to present a good appearance to
arriving here about the latter part OF
October has been in the minds of the
Commissioners for some time and IL
was thought a good plan to hitch the
idea on the weed campaign so that all
the cleaning could be done at the same
time.
The campaign against unsightly
weeds is progressing rapidly, II was
said today. and big part of the force
Of the superintendent of trees and
parking has been working every day
for the past week in clearing govern.
ment property.
Up Against Fund Shortage.
IT is probable that the Commission.
ers will include in their estimates to
Congress next December an item for
about $4,000 to defray the expenses
OF clearing the city of weeds and UNI
dergrowth. However, 1t is said that
the plan TO ask for that much money
will not have easy sailing even In the
District building as some OF the Off
cials are against asking an appropria-
ton for this work. Both the health
officer and the superintendent OF trees
and parking are in favor Of the ap'
preparation claiming that they are IN
able to properly do the work without
additional funds.

WAR 0N,BO0K|ES
IS DECLARED BY
MAJOR GORDON
Quick Trials and Greater vigi-
lance Also New Attorneys
Plan to Fight Bootieggers.

Handbook men and bootleggers need
expect no mercy from Maj. Peyton
Gordon, the new district attorney.
This is the word sent out through the
Police Department after a conference
with the District Attorney as to what
steps he was going to take to bring
the many cases before the courts.
Wants Quick Trials.
Major Gordon told the police that
he was going to see that they went
to trial, and there would be no post.
poning them for other cases on the
docket. He said he will insist on their
standing trial and will not stand for
any dilatory tactics on the part Of
counsel for these men.
Commissioner Oyster will confer
with Major Gordon as soon as the
Commissioners get through with the
estimates. and get frmo him definite
information as to how the police can
best cooperate with him in Kidding the
city of handbook men and bootleg
gers.
There are now pending about 500
cases OF alleged bootlegging and
more than 100 cases Of alleged
hand bookmaking in tho District
courts. according to Commissioners
oyster. An effort will lbe made to
bring to bring all Of them to trial
this fall and winter.
The large amount Of criticism OF
the failure to put out OF business
bookmakers and bootleegers is laid
by the police to the Inability Of
getting the cases to trial.
1t has been charged that the police
have only made arrests to make a
showing and that the bookmakers
and bootleggers have gone back to
their old business as soon as they
are out Of the station house.
Arrest Nothing to Him.
One alleged bookmaker. arrested
about two months ago, was taken
to the first precinct station house on
Twelfth street. He remained there
for about an hour before bail could
be procured. When he was liberated,
he went only as far as the corner
OF Twelfth and d streets, collected
another bet an dwalking to his old
stand on Eleventh street between ID
and f streets found a crowd Of
customers waiting.
He took all the bets in sight, Il is
said. as IL nothing had happened, and
when asked why he took the chance
SO soon after getting out of the sta
ton house Dragged that he made
enough money in day to pay the
premium on his bail.
The police are going to enlarge
their campaign so as not only to ar
rest the handbook men, but to put
them out OF business. The police
have received instructions not TO lei
up on a handbook man when he Is
once arrested, but TO keep after him
until thye know positively that he
has gone out of business.
