against the Southern Maryland source

Director of Prohibition Amos w. w.
Woodcock, in hearings on Prohibition
Bureau appropriations made public
today.
I'VE have been pursuing the policy
said Col. Woodcock, "of directing our
efforts solely against the commercial
violator, leaving the private violator, as
I have frequently said, either to his
own conscience or to the forces of edu-
cation"

II think So" responded the prohibi-

from that in the District of Columbia,
they have gone contrary to my direc-
tions. I have had no complaint that
any private violator has been molested
here"
by private violator, you mean a
man that makes his oWn?" queried
Representative Griffin.
yes" replied Col. Woodcock, "or has
his own in his pocket"
"Or carries it around in his pocket?''
again questioned Representative Griffin.
"Yes sir" answered Col Woodcock.
II think that is sound both tactically
and strategically Tactically, We can
not reach by law that class of violator,
because there are restrictions in the
Constitution, and restrictions in the law
itself Strategically, I think the policy

whether this map is substantially cor

Il do not" answered Col. Woodcock.

Of that sort"
But there has been an infraction OF

"Unquestionably," agreed Woodcock.

of violation of the law. I think that is
what the map is"
In reply to request by Representa-
tive Tinkham, Col. Woodcock reported
that there were 2,116 cases made In the
District Of Columbia during the fiscal
year 1881.
When the discussion turned to "still
map of the United States" where each
dot on the map was said to represent
25 stills or distilleries captured by the
Government during the year ended
June 30, 1890, Col Woodcock said he
had never before seen the map, but he
noticed that Maryland is practically
one continuous black spot
Il was going to ask you" said Tink-
ham. how do you explain the excessive
still activity on the part Of the South
eastern States?"

ern Maryland has stills, and we cap
ture a great many down there, because
it is a sparsely settled country, plenty oi
woody places, and it is adjacent tc

population, such as Washington, Balti-

Col. Woodcock the statement that such
law would not be generally invoked
in Southern Maryland
rs it your policy to invoke it?" queriec
Tinkham.
II would have to hesitate just little
Bit" replied Woodcock, because those
matters depend so much upon the facts
in the particular case and the attitude
of the United States attorney and the
local judge. 1t Is very rare, for in
stance" he continued. that We ever tie
up the ownership of still with the
ownership of the land These stills thai
are found in Southern Maryland are not
operated by the landowners at all. A
man owns a great big farm there, ano
some squatter comes in his woods anc
sets up still.
1T would be virtually impossible tc
show knowledge on the part of the
owner of that land as to the distilling
It is not my view that it Is good policy
to try extreme measures in enforcing
this law. I do not approve of that
though there might be special cast
where it would be equitable and just tc

$4,000 is for the immigration Service,
which reported sharp decline in en-
trants and an exodus of foreigners
through a drive on aliens and because
of the business situation.
For the Justice Department S5l056,-
900 was set aside. This is S2,844 900 be-
low the budget estimates and S172 900
below the current appropriations.
The report. drafted by Representative
Oliver Of Alabama, chairman of the
subcommittee in charge of the bill, said
the appropriation for the Prohibition
Bureau was the only item in the bill
over which there was disagreement.
Representative Tinkham. Republican,
MaSsa chusettS, objected to the reap
popriation of SITS 600 left over from
this year, and desired to reduce the
outlay.
Decision Explained.
The ma ajority of the committee felt
that as this appropriation is for the
enforcement Of law which presents
unusual difficulties at times in its en-
forcement, the appropriation should not
be reduced" Oliver wrote.
In testifying before the subcommit-
tee. Attorney General Mitchell said the
prohibition unit had asked for 500 ad-
ditional agents on the basis of the rec
ommendation Of the Wickersham Com
missions report on dry law enforce
ment. This fiscal year the force was
increased from l,500 to 1000.
Penal institutions were allowed S13,-
$4,000, or S2,304,000 less than budget
estimates, but s71 900 more than for
this year.
Under the Commerce Department,
S7,553,000 was allotted aircraft naviga-
ton facilities and $1,30l 900 for COM
mercial aircraft regulation. The Light
House Bureau was given S10,783, 600.
AS provided in the Agriculture and
Interior Department appropriation bills
for next year, legislative provisions are
carried to prevent increases in salaries
or the filling Of any vacancy without
special permission of President Hoover.
A provision stipulates that no automo-
bile costing more than $3.50 may be
purchased excepting the cars for the
secretaries.

suggested that as the circus he had been With
was doing nothing he thought it could : ;
brought here, but that to make it as attractive
as possible there should be some animals se<
cured.
"Up to that time Barnum had been before
the public only as the proprietor Of hall shows
and museums It was known that he had about
a dozen old bears in New York which the people
there had tired of, and he thought they might
be secured Correspondence was entered into
with the owners of the circus, Adam Forepaugh,
James E. Cooper and John O'Brien, all OF
whom have gone to their reward since. The
upshot of the matter was that Barnum agreed
to contribute his bears, handled by Grizzly
Adams, the father of Grinaldi Adams famous
since as a clown; Forepaugh, Cooper and
O'Brien to furnish their circus and Sim to
furnish the lot pay for advertising, bill posting
and the city license. The proceeds were to be
divided up Barnun to get one-third the circus
one-third and Sim the remainder
"Col. Sim got permission of B. B. Frenchi
then commissioner of public buildings and
grounds to establish the circus on Louisiana
avenue between Ninth and Tenth streets. AS
Barnum was favoraby known as a museum
owner the establishment was styled p. T.-Bar-
NUNS Circus Museum and Wild Animal Ex-
hibition' The museum part consisted of lot
of stuff which had been saved from the nre
when Barnums museum in New York was
burned The bears were rather old and out
of form, but they went just the same. Bar
NUNS principal contribution was his name but
the concern paid handsomely. Two perform
ances were given most every day, and the audi
ences were made up almost wholly of soldiers
and others brought here by the war. I was
a leading attraction, riding bareback horse,
which was then sensation account of its
novelty. We played there for the Fall and part
of the Winter Barnum was pleased very much
with the amount of money that was weekly
sent as his share Of the receipts The new
business caught his fancy, and two years after
ward he started out in the curcus business on
his own account. The museum business in
New York had been about played out, and the
tent show offered more certain proceeds"
The Monument Lot was also occasionally
used for circus purposes many years ago. The
first circus the writer ever saw was at Ninth
and streets. 1t was OBrien's, and it was of
the one-ring variety, and he will never forget
the monkeys, dressed in their little red jackets,
riding the ponies around the ring, and the
spirited tune played by the band. Indeed.
there are some scenes of our childhood We can
never forget.

in Judiciary Square, Armory Lot and other
public parks.
The public streets were often given over to
the circus companies and it was on Louisiana
avenue (now thing of the past) between Ninth
and Tenth streets that Barnum is said to have
made his first appearance as a circus owner.
AS the story goes, it happened in this way:
I'm the Fall of 1868, Hugh Coyle who had
been employed during the previous Summer
as a drummer in the band connected with
Gardner Hemming GS Co.'S Circus, returned to
Washington, having finished his engagement,
the circus going into Winter quarters. w. E.
Sim was then running Canterbury Hall, on
Louisiana avenue, a variety theater, and he
gave Coyle job selling tickets He never sold
any. however for in talking over circus matters
with Sim, he said he thought it would be
good thing and make barrels of money-circus

part Of the city then and Southerners took
particular pride in Walkers circus which was
a strictly Southern show and rarely ever went
further north than Philadelphia. 1t travelled
by wagon exclusively and in its day was
very extensive affair
IN the early days circus performances were
] held as near the center of the city as pos
sible. But. of course, rs years ago, or even
a hundred, Washington was decidedly not the
same sort of city it is today, and the circus
was not the same either. For many years, we
are informed by early writers on local happen
ings, the circuses which came here had but
one ring and only one performing horse. Market
House Square, as they called Pennsylvania
avenue between Eighth and Ninth streets, was
then a popular circus ground, and the triangu-
lar space in front of the National Theater was
also frequently used. For five or six seasons
Dan Rice's and other circuses were allowed,
and indeed induced, to give their performances
