WASHINGTON, d. c., March 10
II you have suffered the misfortune
of losing leg, and are casting about
for a means of making livelihood,
perhaps the most lucrative thing you
can turn to is panhandling. The
stories of the incomes made by ped
oilers of pencils, chewing gum, useless
gewgaws generally, are by no means
i fables.
Cities differ widely in the ways
of dealing with professional cripples.
In some cities they must obtain IL
lcenses, or suffer arrest. In this way
the police are given an opportunity to
investigate each case and find out
whether the cripple who applies for
| the privilege of peddling on the
streets, with his infirmity or deform-
ity as his main means of attracting
dimes, nickles and quarters, is really
unable to make living in some other
way.
Just at this time the city of Wash
ington is a haven for these men. The
Police Department has tried to keep
them out of the downtown district.
which. of course, is the ground they
prefer. Unfortunately no law of po-
lice regulation directly prohibits these
men from offering their wares for sale.
Only a few days ago the police were
directed to make some arrests and
see if the courts would help to rene
dy the situation by imposing fines or
sentences in the workhouse.
The arrests were made and when
the cases came before the police court
Judge Hardison decided that the men
were not Migrants nor beggars. The
fact that they had wares offered for
sale, and that they were able to show
incomes sufficient to lift them out OF
the class of those having no visible
means of support, in the opinion OF
!, the court, protected these panhandlers
from police interference. The courI
decided that pencils offered for sale
though they brought in 10 or 25 time:
their value, constituted legitimate
commerce.
, = A remedy for this situation in Wash
ington may come from drawing III
police regulations directly prohibiting
street selling in the downtown section
t 1t is believed that the professional
cripples, rather than haunt the resi-
: dence districts where the pedestrian
| traffic is negligible compared with thu
busy business part of the city, woult

take their handsful OF pencils and
their woe-begone appearances to some
more lenient city. 1t is understood
that some such regulation is in pro-
cess of drafting.
In recent arrests made in Washing
ton as test cases, one Of them had in
his pocket between $50 and $50, an
other had more than s65. and the third
considerable sum of money. One man
arrested prior to this time for the
same offense had in his pocket nearly
S65. In every case most of this money
was in small change, indicating to the
police that it was the income for not
more than three days at the outside
and possibly of only one day and eve
ming. Capt. Brown, the police officer
in charge of the downtown district
conversing with one of these men, said
to him, You probably make a lot
more money than | do, The crippled
panhandler, dressed in rags of poverty
modstly admitted that this probably
was true.
Here as elsewhere many of these
men, since the war, have taken to
wearing old, frayed uniforms of the
United States Army. usually, however

out begging on the plea that he is &

man was hailed pointed out that he
could not under existing law find him
guilty of anything forbidden. This
man still occupies the same public
space, and does rushing business.
To return to fake war veterans,
once in a while one of them talks him
self into trouble. This happened few
months ago when a man wearing a
Marine Corps uniform invaded a res
taurant, selling bits of red, white and
blue ribbon for % cents each. He APP
preached everybody Systematically, fl
nally hating for several minutes be-
side a man in civilian clothes who
seemed deeply sympathetic. The pre-
tended veteran, to supply local color
and make his tale convincing, wore on
one sleeve four gold stripes, indicating
a service OF two years overseas, a cou-
pie of wound stripes on the other
sleeve, and enough campaign badges
/ on the breast of his blouse to include
every military expedition in which
the United States has taken part since
the war of 1912.
| Talked Himself into Trouble
I The sympathetic civilian seemed
| particularly interested in the service
badges. The panhandler pointed out
to him ribbons supposedly represent.
ing service in France, service on the
Mexican border, the Vera Cruz ex
petition, and several others, running
back more than score of years. He
/ said he was one of the marines who
landed at Vera Cruz from a certain
battleship. The civilian gave him q
quarter and hurriedly left the cafe.
| few minutes later he came back with
policeman and warrant.
Unfortunately for the fake hero, the
man to whom he had been pouring out
all of this misinformation-heh had the
campaign ribbons all wrong-was
