Fire Fighting Sis- Chevy Chase. To th? Killtor of The Star: Please permit me to correct a -wjong im pression of the facilities at Chevy Chase for fighting lire. Your article relative to the recent fire at Chevy Chase stated that the citizens resorted to a bucket brigade, and gave the impression that there were no flre fighting facilities whatever in the village. As a matter of fact, we have a well-equlp ped tire department and a volunteer fire company. The alarm was sounded by the night watchman, the members of the fire company took out the tire apparatus and operated it In accordance with a definite plan of action understood by every mem ber of the company and an alarm was sent to the Tenleytown tire department under the courtesy extended by the District au thorities. The Chevy Ciia.se fire hose were in action on the tire and, with chemical ex tinguishers, were also used in preventing the spread of flames to neighboring houses on which firebrands dropped. Further more, the Tenleytown fire company coupled theli liose to the District plug at the request of the foreman of the Chevy Chase department and not because their hose would not fit the Chevy Chase plugs. T1.3 thread gage is the same on both sets of hose. The Tenleytown fire department rendered every assistance possible when they arrived and have the thanks and confi dence of every citizen of the village. (JBORtiE H.

LADS OF TENDER YEARS (JNDER CONTROL OF THE SEA SONED ROADSTERS. Plan in Vog-ue Here for Utilizing the Unemployed Who Seek Public Aid. An alarming Increase in tlie number or boy tramps is reported by Mr. James M. Belt, clerk of the municipal lodging house, 312 12th street northwest, who is in almost constant touch with many of the wayfaring class of "turnpike tourists" who pass through Washington. At this season of the year the great unwashed army of ho bos who have summered in the north, the east and the west migrate to the sunny south, und Incidentally some of them stop over in this city to "hit up a few." or make a few collections for the purpose of provid ing themselves with food, otherwise termed, In the vocabulary of the road, "vital statis tics," for use on their Journey. it is by coming into official contact dally with this class that Mr. Belt and Mr. An drew H. Tyson, superintendent of the mu nicipal lodging house, have noticed the increased number of mere lads who are entering upon the life of tramps. Many of these are .bright-faced, intelligent bovs "who have no doubt been attracted to the* vaga bond existence by the spirit of adventure omnipresent in the breasts of the youth of America. Then, too, Mr. Belt observed that the amateur boy tramps travel In groups of three, four, five or six, each partv being led by a grizzW old hobo of the dyed-in-the- i wool tramp class, who no doubt, In some instances, caused the lads to leave their homos by retailing to them exaggerated stories of life on the road and of adven tures such as will captivate the average boyish mind. It was recalled in this connection that several Washington boys in recent years were Induced to leave their homes by tramps, and that in two instances, at least, the lads never returned to their parents and were given up as dead. Fifteen to Eighteen Years Old. "The boys who came to the municipal lodg- I ing house this season," said Mr. Belt to a Star reporter, "ranged in age from about fifteen to eighteen years, and generally they have been bright fellows, their appear- I since and manners indicating that they were reared in respectable homes by Christian jarents. I recall one of the lads," continued Mr. Belt. "He had dark curly hair and brown eyes that beamed benevolently and poetical ly. I took a deep interest in that boy arid talked with him. He was evidently under the influence of his tramp leader, a bearded and repulsive-looking fellow. I asked him about his homei, and pearly drops of moist ure came from his pretty and expressive eyes. Finally he told me of his mother in Ironton, Ohio. He said he loved her dearly, but had 'been induced to leave his home and lead the life of an idle wanderer. I begged him to turn back before it was too late and. return to his mother, who no dou'bt was heart-hroken. But the influence of his tramp taskmaster was too strong to be broken by me, and the lad started south with the gang. Reaching Virginia he came into contact with a bad case of smallpox, and was brought back to Washington! where he died. His last words were about his mother. " "I want my dear mamma,' he pleaded with his final breath. 'Oh, take me to my mamma.' " Homeless and hungry men and boys to the number of from twenty to twenty-five a day are being taken in and accommodated at the municipal lodging liouse on 12th street by Supt. Tyson since the cool weat'her began. It has become too uncom fortable for the itinerants to sleep out un der the starlight, as had been the wont of many of them during the summer and early fall months. When the north wind blows colder and the air is filled with flying snow the lodgers are usually so numerous as to fill the District of Columbia free hotel to its capacity?from fifty to fifty-five men a night. Now that the lodging house has been prepared for its winter work, the num ber of gratis guests will gradually Increase, )t is expected, until the limit is reached. Model of Its Kind. Officials from other cities who are Inter ested in the several systems of lodging houses with wood sawing and splitting at tachments. and. who have inspected the local institution, pronounced it in nearly every instance to be the model of Its kind in the I'nited States. The superintendent. Mr. Tyson. Is regarded as an inventive ge nius, and he has originated a number of new ideas which have been put Into prac tical operation at the institution. Among these are the beds or cots, which will compare favorably in oleanliness and comfort and from a sanitary standpoint with those in any of the hospitals; a frame or rack for measyrng and inspecting the wood that is sawed and split by each guest to pay for his meals and lodgings; and a fumigation system for purifying the cloth ing of the men who seek refuge there, as well as the bedding they use. Two overhead hoppers have been placed in the alley in the rear of the wood yard and they are so arranged by their inven tor. Mr. Tyson, that by pulling a trigger they load vehicles below with sawed and spilt wood without the expenditure of any physical labor, after the fashion of th<? tender of a locomotive being loaded In stantly with coal from an overhead chute. These hoppers not only load the wagons instantly, but they also measure the wood. In order to meet rush orders, Superinten dent Tyson has installed an electric saw In the institution to tide over the busy season. He says he expects to handle GOO cords of wood during the ensuing season. Another improvement invented and In stalled by Mr. Tyson Is an elevator or self dumping wood box for elevating the lodgers' tasks to the second floor, where the wood chopping is done. The first floor of the municipal lodging house Is used for the offices In frent; the kitchen and dining room, sitting room and the wood yard, in the rear. On the second floor is the bath room, fumigating and dressing rooms, while the third floor is fit ted up with fifty-five comfortable cots for the city's sleepers. Professional Roadsters Dodge. The majority of professional tramps that pass through Washington usually dodge the official lodging house. Superintendent Tyson says only when the professional roadsters are hard pressed will they become the guests of the municipality, where the shibboleth Is that man must live by the sweat of his brow. Those who do patronize the place and do the required task of saw ing and splitting wood receive as pay a sub stantial breakfast and dinner and a com fortable bed preceded by a bath. A man who enjoyed the hospitality of the municipal lodging house several months ago Is now married and doing well, said Mr. Tyson. He is manager of a business In this; city, and whenever he is In need of help he goes to the lodging house and se lects some industrious-appearing man from among the Inmates and gives him employ ment. He does this, he explains, because he sympathizes with these men, many of whom are industrious mechanics, who, through no fault of their own are out of work. I?'ust season the records show that ninety-six of the lodgers secured positions and made fresh starts in life. V.

An alarm of flre wt^s sounded from box 032 about 4:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the purpose of calling the firemen to the vicinity of 13th and A streets north east. There was a blaze in a huckster's wagon In the neighborhood of 13th and A streets, which was caused by some children who had been playing in the vehicle. About to damage wis caused by the K1Trr* dbedgxno the channel. Work to Be Done Next Spring on Har bor Improvement*. No work. It Is understood, will be done by the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Dredging Company under Ita contract with the United. States army engineers until next spring. The work to be done Is to deepen the water In the river channels in this vicinity where they have shoaled in the past two or three years. The work will be started as early In the season as possible and will be pushed night and day until completed. Under the contract with the engineer's office at least 75,000 cubic yards of material must be dug each month, but the contractor Is at liberty to dig as much over that amount as he can and to finish the work an quickly as he can. The amount of material to be dredged Is estimated to be 340.000 cubic yards. The plans of the engineers' office as to where the digging is to be done have not yet been completed, but It Is understood that work will be done on both the Washington and Virginia channels, and it Is suggested that some of the work could be done in the har bor from the foot of 6th street to the foot of 12th street with good result*. Under the regulations governing the an choring of vessels In the harbor no vessel Is allowed to anchor near the steamboat wharves. Old rlvermen claim that If the harbor was dredged close to the wall around the Potomac Park anchorage ground could be found near the wall for vessels of deep draft which now either have to tie up to a wharf or go to anchor in the lower end of the harbor abreast of the Washington barracks park. This would, it Is claimed, greatly improve the harbor, and It Is stated that the matter of dredging in the upper part of the harbor will bo brought to the attention of the engineer officer and an ef fort will be made to have him investigate and include the dredging in the work to be gin next spring.

Report Which Give Police Information ?Variety of Articles Placed in Custody of "Your Uncle." "I have watches in my cellar three feet deep," was the remark of a pawnbroker who called at police headquarters yesterday j morning to submit his morning report. | "They are not three feet deep in my es tablishment," said another uncle to a Star reporter, "but they have been coming in thick and fast since the arrival of the po nies in the city." The reports of the pawnbrokers that are being made to police headquarters every morning before 11 o'clock tell the story ol what the ponies are doing tQ a large num ber of people who have to toil for their dally bread. One day this week more than two hundred timepieces were turned over to pawnbrokers for safe keeping, mortly by persons who wunted money to use on the horses. These reports give the police a good Idea of the results of the dealings wltlf the bookmakers. It seldom happens that the pawnbrokers fall to reap a harvest during the time the crowds go to Bennlng. The articles depos ited with the proprietors of such places In clude many things other than watches. All kinds of silverware, household ef fects and even articles of wearing apparel are surrendered to the pawn brokers In order that their owners may raise small "stakes" for the pur pose of biting at the tempting offers of the men who conduct "get-rich-qulok." schemes. Thousands of dollars are paid oat Hartn* the racing seasons ami moth of the prop erty remains la possession of the pawn brokers until almost time for (be opening of the next season. All Classes Borrow. Pawning at such times Is done by people of all classes and conditions, government and other clerks being the principal patrons of the bookies and pawnbrokers. It Is chietly the salaried people who are affected in this way. Thousands of them are unable to re sist the tempting offers of iong odds an^ seem to take nothing else in consideration when they want to bet money. It matters not with them if their families have to les sen their food or clothing supply, or if their throwing away their money to the backers of the horses causes suffering to their loved ones or their creditors. They think only of the few winnings they make and tell their friends of them, saying nothing of their losings. Their creditors can wait, they argue, and It often hapens that the creditors ihave to wait months before they are paid for groceries and other necessaries of life. Owners of houses also feel the ef fects of the horses being in the citv. Some of them complain that their gambling cus tomers are always behind in their bills and rent after the close of the racing season, and some of the wholesalers feel the result of the failure of the consumers to pay the smaller dealers. It Is remarkable that so many persons who cannot afford to throw away their money will visit the races and give up their hard-earned cash to the backers ol the horses," remarked a detective to a Star reporter. "Washington is a great city for the races. There are thousands of people here who are race-horse mad, and they seem to think of nothing but studying 'dope' sheets and talking of the .lorses, even if they do not always have the money to back them. When they are down and out they never hesitate to hold up friends or acquaintances and ask for the loan of small sums. By getting a few dimes or quarters in this way they are then able to put up another bet and fur ther increase the coffers of the few men from other places who engage in the book making business. Many Gifts Pawned. "The inscriptions upon some of the ar ticles that have been pawned this week show what little regard their owners have for their donors," the detective added. "Some of them show that watohes put In pawn had been .presented to their owners by 'loving mothers' to their 'darling boys, and others had 13een given to the owners by sweethearts or friends. More than one timepiece so pledged hore an Inscription to show that the giver was a man in public life or that it had been presented by a fraternal organization. Medals of honor were among them, as were articles of sil verware. Knough silverware has been pledged In this way to open a store that would do credit to any business section ol the city." The number of articles pawned in a sin gle day would indicate that some of the places where three balls hang over tho doors had to have an additional force to wait upon the people, who stood behind the screens and .handed over their treasures. Not all the pawning is done by men. A great many women have recently patron ized these places, and many of them are "dead game sports" on the track, as well as the men. When the races are over the few lucky ones will (begin to redeem their property, but the losers will have to wait until other debts are satisfied, and then they will be able to reduce their pledges until they have redeemed them all. Some, of course, will never be in a position to walk up to the counter, surrender tickets and get bade their property. Such prop erty will go under the hammer at a sale next year.

An exciting accident occurred at East Capitol and 8th streets last night a few minutes before 0 o'clock, a street car col liding- wttlr an express wagon betooging to the Oeorge W. Knox Express Company loaded with candy, knocking the load into the street. The car was under the charge of Conductor H. P. Jones and Motorm&n R. L. Davis. One of the horses attached to the wagon fell, but was soon up and no efTOrt was made by the animals to runaway. Tlie colored driver of the team, Thomas Queen, living at 324 8th street northeast, was thrown from his seat and rolled over the asphalt pavement out of the way. as he thought the horses would be fr.ghtened. Motorman Davis remained at his post stopped the car as soon as he could. The fender of the car was demolished and the glass In the vestibule window smashed Conductor Jones was standing in the for ward end of the front car at the time tho collision occurred and was thrown all the way through the car. Several persons were standing near tho street corner at the time the accident occurred, waiting for th? car. The motorman d:d not stop his car, as the expressman apparently expected he would, and when the latter realized the dangler it was loo late for him to prevent the accident. People who were awaiting the arrival of the car and witnessed the accident feared the result would prove much more serious tlion it did. Theywere surprised to find that the motorman had not been killed, after hearing the crashing of the glass and the noise made by the wagon being thrown from the track. The car was not even de rafled, although there was a heavy load on the wagon. Queen was apparently not much hurt, though suffering from pain and shock. Tho Casualty Hospital Ambulance was summoned and he was removed to the hospital. Drs.
