STRICT VAGRANCY LAW DRAWN.
AIMED AT CRIMINALS IN CITY
Bootleggers and Bookmakers' Runners
Pickpockets, Thieves and Loiterers
Would Be Made Subject to Arrest.

The draft Of a new vagrancy law
for the District, drastic and far
reaching in its scope, was submitted
to the District Commissioners today
by Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride. The measure was framed at
the request Of Maj. Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent of police, who has re-
peatedly advocated a more stringent
vagrancy law which would properly
safeguard the people of the District
from the depredations Of known
criminals.
The new bill, as framed by Mr..
Bride, contains seven definitions of
vagrants, ranging from pickpockets
to common prostitutes and all other
persons who earn living by unlaw-
full methods. These definitions, Maj
Hesse believes, will enable the police
to arrest agents for rum runners
and runners for bookmakers.
The definitions follow: IL. All per-

in the Independence Beige, which
speaks for important shipping and in

says the United States is opposed to
reciprocity as far as tariff questions
are concerned. although prepared per-

Germany. it continues, considers the
American viewpoint audacious and un-
justified; Great Britain backs France,

concludes, the question arises whether

CHICAGO, September GA new
effort to settle the wage dispute that
has closed the Nations soft coal
mines for nearly five months will be
made tomorrow when representatives
Of the Illinois miners and operators
meet here in joint session. Whatever
settlement may come from the
Illinois negotiations is expected to
point the way to settlement through
out the entire central competitive
district.
Dwight w. Miller of Hillsboro, ILL.,,
a director of the Illinois Coal Opera
tors Association, said that the out
look for settlement of the strike was
promising" but added that the at
titude of the miners themselves would
be the determining factor.
Railroad officials at Bloomington,
ILL.,, said they had heard a secret
meeting between operators and
miners was to be held today to reach
an accord, so that tomorrow's meet
ing would be merely perfunctOry in
dorsement of terms of settlement.
Representatives of both sides, how
ever. refused to confirm this report.
Harry Fishwick. president of the
Illinois miners, and Rice Miller, who
heads the operators association, both
are in Chicago and are understood
to have had informal discussions, the
