tttion was unanimously adopted and sent
to President Mckinley urging the appoint
ment of Commissioner John w. Ross to
membership in the peace commission
The petition in substance as follows:
ITO the President of the United States:
I'VE, the Congress Heights Citizens As
sociation, composed of men whose hearts
throb with pride at your conservative, wise
and brave course in the Spanish-American
war, appeal to you by the sacred right of
petition 1--WE being deprived of the right of
suffrage) to appoint John w. Ross of the
city of Washington on the peace commits
sion. He is a man of the highest sense of
horOr, and has honored the high position
he holds, never once using il for his own
aegrandiZement, nor has he used the great
lcwer granted him under our peculiar
form Of government to Interfere with pri-
Vate interests or to dictate 70 any of our
fellow ctizans how they should conduct
their business in the interest of friends
who would be benefited by such use OF
power.
The District of Colum ola, in popuiat ton,
is larger than the states of Delaware,
South Dakota, Wyoming and Nevada, mich
states have eight United States senat tors,
besides their members in the House of Rep
res entatives We are orphans of the ma
ton, and we do rot believe that our petit
ton will fail of it's purpose TO reach your
ear in behalf Of fellow citizen.
I'VE beg to add to our appeal tat after
Mr.. Ross fulfills the duties of the peace
the honorable position he now holds on the
District board.

and at the present time the station Is SO
crowded that two men are required to use
the sama bed, which is constantly occu-
pied by one of the day or night watch.
With the additional story the men will
have excellent quarters, and each will have
a bed TO himself There will be a dorm-.
tory on both upper floors; lockers and toilet
rooms VIII be placed on the second floor,
and the sergeants room will be on the

The innocence of Charles Johnson col
ored, who was arrested on the charge of
being connected with the theft of clothing
from the country home of Leroy NJ. Taylor
in Virginia, as well as that of his mother
has been clearly shown, and the boy, who
is being held by the police, will be released
today. Johnson was arrested Thursday by
detectives here because of his trying to sell
some clothing. which he claimed had been
sent him by his mother, who worked on the

from letters from Mr.. Leroy Taylor in Vir-
ginia and statements from DR.. L. NJ. TAYLOR
of this city, that Johnson's possession of
the clothes was legitimate, they having
been purchased by his mother and sent
here to him by her.

Chesapeake Beach to the Front.

In real estate circles one of the most i'm
portant events of the past week was the
selection and appointment made by the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company of
Mr.. Washington Danenhower as their real
estate broker and agent for the sale of
their lots at Chesapeake Beach. Mr.. Dan
enhower is an expert in real estate mat
ters, and especially in this particular bUsi-
ness. and with his experience during the
past twenty years the company could not
have made d better choice. Mr. Dancn-
hover says the railroad is completed and
in running order S far as Marlboro, and
will be opened to the public very soon; and
that while he has already booked over
four hundred buyers for lots, none will be
sold or put on the market for about a
month. when every one interested will be
given an opportunity to inspect the prem
ises before buying and making their own
selection.
