Mr. Koaner's bill, now before the
Legislature to provide lady plnysi-
clans for the female wards OF the E
State Hospital, is the source OF
much talk through the press and
otherwise. The bill will certainly
become law if outside pressure
counts for anything. 1t is the
great wonder Of many that such an
arrangement was not thought Of
before. Unfortunate women have
been denied the care and sympathy
which could be given by none but
her own sex. Their class of suffer
ers should reeeise the tsa@erest and
State, and this blh should pass
without dissenting voice.

President Frizzell stated that since the
last meeting of the association he has re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. w. X. Stevens,
superintendent of the bathing beach, in
which the latter asked for his signature to
a memorial to Congress asking for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the purpose of
improving the beach. He said the presi-
dents of other associations had signed the
memorial, but no action was taken.
Mr.. Davis said he had noticed in The
Star, some days ago. an interview with
Commissioner Powell concerning parks in
Northeast Washington. The only public
park north of East Capitol street and east
of North Capitol street, he said, is Stanton
Park. He said he had spoken to Commits
sioner Powell on the question, and the latter,
he thought, was willing to help the north
east section and would gladly receive sug-
gestionS from the association. Mr.. Davis
suggested that the hill near Trinidad was
a. natural park and would need but little
changes in order to make it one Of the best
parks in the District. He also mentioned
other locations south of Florida avenue.
The question will be brought up again at
the next meeting. There being no further
business to transact, the association ad-
journed.

TO BLOCK LEGISLATION.
silver Men Determined That the Blan'
Bill Shall BE Voted On.

Representative Fithian Of Illinois, one of
the active lieutenants Of Represent dive
Bland in the silver debate, says that the
silver men will block the appropriation bills
and bring every class of legislation to a
halt until the opposition to the pending sill
yer bill consents to let a vote be taken.
Mr.. Fithian said, in a speech yesterday.
that the silver men would be justified in
such a course, but today he went further
and said they would actually carry out the
plan. He says it applies to all of the great
appropriation bills for carrying on the gov
eminent and the local measures for public
buildings, rivers and harbors and general
improvements. 1t will apply also to gen
eral measures OF legislation, such as the
bankruptcy bill or banking measures now
on the calendar and awaiting hearing.
Mr.. Fithian was asked If the committee
on rules could not bring in a special rule
giving the appropriation bills the right of
way. He said that the rule would have TO
be passed by the House, and he intimated
that the silver men Were strong enough to
defeat such a plan. He is confident that
they can bring all legislation to a standstill
until the silver bill is voted on.
