IN THE NORTHEAST.
Citizens Association Decides to Inves-
tigate the Committee of One Hundred.

The business of the Northeast Washington
clilzens association at its meeting at the Pea
body school building last night, went quietly
and smoothly along. until Mr.. LOring Chapel
offered a series of resolutions in the nature of
declaration Of independence of the Citizens
Representative Committee Of One Hundred.
The vhereases set ont that the association, in
the hope that the Committee of One Hundred
would in time secure the recognition of ali por-
tons of the District. and be in fact what its
name imports. has continued until this time
to send delegates TO represent it; that
in fact that the committee was in
fragmentary condition and many portions
of the District are unrepresented; that the
committee under unsatisfactory manage
ment, ana was permitted to be controlled I'M
cOnstitutiOnally both for and against certain
persons in connection with District Offices and
the character of worthy and respected citizens
unjustly assailed without their being gwen any
opportunity whatever for defense. the matters
beng entirely beyond the purposes for which
said committee was originally organized. and
calculated to work injury to many District i'll
terestS. and 20 be of no benefit to the North
east Washington Citizens association. The
resolutions declared thai the association would
not appoint delegates to the committee of one
hundred for the ensuing year.
REFERRED To COMMITTEE.
Mr.. De Land. who opposed the resolution.
sought to have the association proceed to the
election of delegates to the committee. Mr..
Jones moved to refer Mr. ChappeI's resolution
to the executive committee to inquire into the
facts alleged in the preamble and report to the
association. Mr.. De Land said that the COM
mIttee was about to be recognized and new
members would be elected from different Asso-
Citations. He thought the Committee of One
Hundred could accomplish great deal of good.
He urged that they should send delegates, who
should go IN a proper spirit. with the pur-
pose Of cooperating with and helping the Dis
trlct Commissioners.
Nr. 5. II. Walker said it was known to every
body in the District that there had not been
third Of a hundred present at any meeting of
the Committee OF One Hundred for year

After some discussion the resolutions were
referred to the executive committee to investi-
gate the Committee of One Hundred The
election OF delegates was postponed until after
the report made by the executive committee.
