fers $500 in Case of Threat
to Burn Catholic Church.

A reward of $500 was offered today
by the knights Of the Ku Klux Khan
Of the District of Columbia for the
arrest and conviction Of the person
responsible for the letter sent to
Rev. DR.. Eugene A. Hannah, rector
of st. Martins Catholic Church,

of paper. was received by Father
Hannah Saturday. 1t read:
Beware Of Fire. You Have Been
Warned" 1t was signed Ku Klux
Klan.
Pofndexter Assafls Thrent.
Emphatic denial that the mtssive
was sent from the khan headquarters
was made by S. F. Poindexter, king
kleagle OF the District, simultane-
ously with the announcement of the
reward.
1.-THE khan does not indulge in send
ing threatening letters any more than
any other fraternity" said Mr.. Poin-
dexter. And 1t will not tolerate
such action by others.
"Whoever can prove that a MEM
Der Of the khan or any individual not

attempt apparently had been made to
disguise the handwriting.

Father Hannah said today. as far
as he knew. he had no personal
enemies, and said the increase In in
surance on the church properties had
been made simply as good business
measure.

PARIS, March 12.-Premier Poin-

Premier Poincare, in an interview

The streets OF Washington will be
better lighted in future II Warren
B. Hadley. superintendent. carries out
his present plan of installing $50
candlepower bulbs in all new posts.
Most Of the existing electric posts
are equipped with only 100-candle-
power lamps
The advantages of the new, rule
may be seen now on 18th and 18th
streets between X street and Massa-
chusctts avenue, where Mr.. Hadley
has just replaced gas lights with
ornamental incandescent electric
lamps Of 25o-candlepower.
These streets were selected for the
new treatment in the hope hat We
hicular traffic would be attracted to
them and thereby reduce CONGESTION
on 18th and 10th streets.
:. VIII Use Bigger Lamps.
Fifteenth and 18th streets are bet
ter Illuminated now than 10th street,
which, according to Hadley, has the
100-candlepower lights.
"It is my hope" said the superin-
tendent, Ito make the 250-candlepower
light the standard in future"
East Capitol street from 18th to 18th
streets is another stretch along which
new ornamental electric lights have
just been installed in order to improve
the approach to the new Eastern High
School.
Questioned today as to what effect
the accumulation of dust and dirst on
street lamps has upon the volume OF
light, the superintendent said that all
gas globes and electric arc lights are
cleaned regularly, but not the orna-
mental incandescent lamps.
Rain Washes Lights.
Mr.. Hadley explained that the round
shade on the ornamental incandescent
is SO completely inclosed that dust and
dirt cannot accumulate to any appre-
ciable extent on the inside. The dust
from the street that settles on the
outside is washed on by the rain, he
stated.
In the case of gas and electric arcs
he continued. these types of light pro-
duce in themselves an accumulation
inside the shade which must be washe ed
out to give unimpaired light. Particu-
larly is this true of the gas shades
because they have openings through
which street dust enters

Hn0 NO Narcotic License.
The premises descended upon today

lined with shelves on which were
thousands of bottles containing va
rioCs drugs in addition to the mar
cotics. The management. the officers
said, had no license covering the SELL
ing of narcotics. although 1t is be-
drug business was carried on legally.
Included in the conflscated narcot-
les were several bottles of opium in
tablet form. part Of which was unfit
for use by addicts. apparently. be-
cause of the fact that they contained
however. thousands of dollars worth
of smoking opium and cocaine and
heroin, said to be intended for illegal
drug traffic.
Leading up to today's spectacular
raid were the clever operations OF the

Italian, worked himself into the con-

them $2,100. Later his employers be-
came so satisfied in his integrity that
they agreed to deliver to him today
an additional quantity Of drugs val
