Peter never has learned to make the
most of his opportunities and never
will He eats what he wants today and
trusts to luck that he will be as for
tun2tc tomorrow. So Peter has fat
times and lean times; times, as in Sum-
mer, when he can stuff himself when
ever he will with all sorts of good
things. and times, as in Winter. when
he almost never knows what it is to
have a full stomach.
In dry sheltered places down under
the rocks Mr.. and Mrs. Little Chief had
stored their hay. Not for a single day
would they go hungry and wonder
where the next meal would come from.
Never would they have to 60 out in
bitter weather to look for it. The
drifting snow would never get down
into their undertook home. Only
Shadow the Weasel could follow them

GA[AHAD WINS
HIGH PRAISE

The Lenten music pageant
"Galahad," by Bess Davis
schreiner, inspired in many of
its phases by Tennyson's "The
Holy Grail" was presented at the
Luther Place Memorial Church
last night and was accorded high
praise. It will be repeated to-
night and tomorrow night.
With a cast of more than 30
persons, and a production spon-
sored by the committee on re-
lieious drama and pageantry of
the washington Federation of
Churches, "Galahad" proved to
be a reverent, effective and
Illuminating cycle of pictures,
drawn from the Holy Grail
theme.
The entire church was trans
formed into a setting for the
pageant, many of the actors max
ing their way to the center of the
tableaux through the aisles.
There were many panoramic
performances" among them being
the portrayal of the seven deadly
sins.
Maude Howell Smith played the
Angel of the Grail and the scenes
of the play included the Last
Supper, the Resurrection and the
Ascension.

DAPPER ROBBER
LOSESL LOOT
MISS REILLY

Mrs. L. w. Richardson's un-
expected return to her apartment,
1912 Hobart st. N. W., this noon
upset the carefully executed plans
Of dapper colored thief, who
had carefully selected from the
wardrobes of the three men Of
the Richardson family, overcoats,
suits and linens which appealed
TO him.
As Mrs. Richardson unlocked
the front door of the apartment
and entered the hall she met the
man on his way out.
He Was On His Way
The thief, the bundle of cloth
ing over his arm, was briskly
making his way to the outer air
and freedom when Mrs. Richard
son, recovering from her surprise
at the encounter, realized that
the man was making off with
family property.
She made an effort to seize
the robber but he evaded her
grasp, dropped his loot and sped
down Hobart Street, turning the
corner into Mt. Pleasant and
disappeared. Mrs. Richardson
then notified the police.
Worked at Leisure
A search Of the apartment dis,
closed that the man had evi,
IDENTIFY wOrkei at leisure. He had
selected clothing from the vari
GUS rooms and had turned out
the contents Of dresser drawers.
The man apparently had de.
liberately overlooked money and
jewelry.
Mrs. Richardson described the
man as being young and nattily
dressed: She had never seen him
before to her knowledge but
thinks that she will recognize
him should she see him again.
Clothing taken belonged to l.
w. Richardson, Louis Richardson
and Fl. McGrath.

The Public Utilities Commits
sion's proposal to allow the Capt.
tai Traction Company to remove
it's tracks from the F and G
Streets area, between Seventeenth
and Twenty-sixth Streets North
west, was questioned at an all-day
hearing yesterday.
William NICK. Clayton, chair
man of the Federation of Citizens
Associations public utilities COM
mfttee, in questioning the author
ity, pointed out that the line was
established by a charter granted
by Congress 80 years ago. He op-
posed the proposed abandonment
of the tracks.
The commission will take the
petition Of the company under ad-
visement today and is expected
to render its decision within the
near future.
The original petition of the
street car company provided for
substitution of bus service and ex-
tension Of the bus route from Sew
enteenth Street to the markets
at Fifth and K Streets Northwest
and Fifth and Florida Avenue
Northeast.
This petition met with opposi-
tion from the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, whose
lines serve both markets. How
ever, opposition was averted to a
certain degree when John Hanna,
president of the Capital Traction
Company, was granted permission
to so amend his petition.

MORE TEACHERS.
PLEAOF UNION

Although school authorities will
lend a sympathetic ear to the
request of Junior and senior high
school teachers for a larger teach
ing staff, it is doubtful whether
many new teachers will be pro-
vided for in the estimates for the
fiscal year 1888.
Stephen E. Kramer, first as
sistant superintendent of schools
in charge of secondary education,
said the number of teachers is
based on the proportion of chill
dren in each class.
Only one city in the group of
cities of over 100000 population
maintains a better ratio than
Washington.
A brief received today from
Teachers Union, Local No. 8, of
the American Federation of
Teachers, asking for additional
junior high school teachers, ad-
vised the Board of Education
that the extra-curricular activities
of the teacher make it difficult
to give the proper amount of
attention to the instruction part
of her program.

CROSBY MAKES
BURKE POLICE
CHIEF AIDE
Force to Be Reorganized on
Military Lines; Precincts
Merged; Districts Designed

Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby,
Police Commissioner, today an
nounced that the assistant super
intendency of police, which has
been vacant since the death Of
Inspector Charles Evans, will be
filled under the reorganization Of
the police department on July i.
Capt. Frank S. w. Burke, COM
mander of the First precinct, will
be elevated to this position and
take command of the Detective
Bureau.
Announces the Plan
General Crosby today an
nounced the definite plan for re-
organization Of the department.
He said that six precincts will
be merged into three, bringing
the total of precincts to IL.
Three districts will be estab,
lished, each of which will include
four precincts, and will be in
charge of an inspector.
The precincts which will be
merged are the First with the
Sixth; the Second with the
Eighth, and the Fourth with the
Fifth.
Along Military Lines
The reorganization will be
along military lines, with Major
Henry G.. Pratt having Assistant
Superintendent William S. Shelby
as his second-in-command.
Under these two officials will
come Captain Burke and Assist
ant Superintendent of Police
Ernest w. Brown, who will re-
main in charge of the traffic
bureau.
The three inspectors in charge
of the districts will follow in the
line of the new plan, then will
come the captains of the various
precincts.
Not Reduction
General Crosby declared that
the number of captaincies and
lieutenancies will not be reduced
under the plan.
He stated that an additional
inspector may be created.
The new plan, together with
the 64-year-old retirement law,
will bring about a shakeup in the
department personnel and the
naming of two inspectors, five
captains and five lieutenants.

BINGHAM READY.
TO PUSH: BEER
AMENDMENT
Connecticut Senator's Pro-
posaI Will Put Congress
on Record As 1882 Guide

Senator William B. Howell's
determination to force action
upon his prohibition enforcement
bill for the District may prove
the determining factor in the
part which prohibition is to
play in the Republican and
Democratic national platforms Of
1882.
This was strongly indicated
upon Capitol Hill today when
Senator Hiram Bingham (Rl, Of
Connecticut, announced that If
the local prohibition bill is again
brought up he will insist upon
his amendment which would le-
galize the manufacture and sale
Of beer.
Amendment Forces Issue
The Bingham amendment i'm
mediately lifts the Howell bill out
of the class of strGtly local legis-
lation and forces it to carry the
debate on the national aspects Of
prohibition.
With both parties apparently
fighting shy of taking a definite
stand on this issue, the situation
will be clarified by the Howell
bill debate. In the next session
there will not be the excuse given
in the last Congress of "shortness
of time" for dodging vote either
on the Bingham amendment or
the bill itself.
Wet Senators are printing them
selves during the recess for a
bombardment on the Wickershaln
report.
They will have thoroughly di.
gested the controversial material
submitted by the WickerSham
commission by the time Congress
reassembleS. Loaded for bear.
they probably will wait until the
Howell bill pops up before firing.
Senator Bingham Ready
Senator Bingham said today
that the moment Howell intro
duces his bill, as he has an
nounced he will, he will be ready
with his beer amendment.
With the amendment forcing
a direct vote on the national
aspects of the situation, party
leaders will have a good idea Of
Just how far their supporters
are going either wet or dry and
from this vote and debate the
leaders probably will figure the
stands which they will urge in
the national conventions.
