Briehtwood Citizens Association
DenouRces the Highway Law


A regular meeting of the Brightwood
Citizens Association was held at Bright
wood Hall last night. There was a
large attendance, owing 10 the fact that it
was understood the question of highway
extension would be brought up for consid-
Grafton. President n E. Robinson occu-
pied the chair, with Messrs. Bates and
Saul as secretaries. Among those who
were present and participated in the dis
cussion which followed were Blair Lee
L. P. Shoemaker, Wilton J. Lambert W.
E. Nalley. Claude F. King, William ].
Saul, George Field, Thomas Blagden,
Frederick Bex, James IT. Hays John A.
Saul and Albert Schafer.
After the routine work of minute-read-
ing roll-call, etc, and the passage of a
resolution deprecating any effort to com
pei or allow the Brightwood Railway
Company to abandon the use of its Mount
Pleasant branch on Marshall and Kenyon
Streets, as tending to deprive the citizens
of valuable privilege. the question of
highway extension was introduced by the
submission by Mr.. Shoemaker of the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved That this association believes that it
is for the best interest OF the District of Column
bia that the highway act of 1898 should be repealed
in toto as provided by House bill 0,209
Resolved That the representatives of this as
sociation in the central committee are directed
TO procure, if possible, the amendment OF the
House bill for repeal Oh. r. 10000, by striking
( out the words in lines IA and Is, in page ?,
land upon which public moneys were expended
| prior to said year. and also by the insertion OF
| the words and devoted to the use of the public
! after the word Established in line 13, said
! page.
! Resolved, That this association indorse the
action OF the Citizens Association Central Com
mittee in advocating the total repeal of the high
I way act of 1898, and that copy of this reeolu-
| tion be furnished the press, committees of Con-
gress, and the Citizens Association Central Com
mittee.
Addresse were delivered upon the gen.
! eral subject of highway extension by
Messrs. Shoemaker, Lee, Lambert and
/ others, and, upon the resolutions being
| put to vote, they were carried almost
unanimously, there appearing TO be but
one dissenting vote.
A resolution introduced by Mr.. Lee in
| dorsing the proposed opening of Eleventh
Street from Florida Avenue was unani-
mously adopted it being the consensus
of opinion that such opening would tend
toward the solution of the important queS
ton of through transit and furnish en-

When the decision was announced PAN

Judge Cole had warned the bailiffs to
keep order, the 200 hundred or more who
were present passed beyond control and
expressed their approval Of the verdict in
cheers.
The jury, It IS understood, arrived at
a conclusion al $50 O'Clock, but as Judge
Cole was not present, the announcement
could not be made until the hour named.

The scene during the closing moments
Of the trial yesterday afternoon was pain

Miss Andrews will hereafter give two

large to be properly seated at one demon
stration Beginning Monday, there will
be two sessions daily, from 1890 to 1:30

Andrews has won the hearts of almost
every housekeeper and chef in Washing

derful cooking, and it is safe to predict
that her two sessions daily next week will
both beas largely attended as has been the
one during the past week The program
given out for Monday by Miss Andrews
includes the preparation of steak in two
ways, corn mullins and snow pudding,
from 10:30 TO 11:30, and roast chicken and
rice croquettes from 2:30 to $3.50. A gas
range is used exclusively in all of Miss

use one in a very economical way, so
as to make the smallest possible gas bills.
