ed by the secretary. Among those who
have sent in their applications are some
of the most prominent citizens OF the
District a meeting of the board OF direc-

are of the opinion that within the next
three or four months the membership
of the association will increase TO thou
sand members. No organization of a SIM

met with such decided success and proved
so popular from the start as the Business

Took Prominent Part i'm the Con-
sIruction of the CanaI-tsumane
Society Causes Arrests.

James II. Payne died this morning at g
O'Clock at his home. 1906 ThiIty-s -conl
Street, after a long Illness. He was in
his eightieth year. and death was due TO
a general breaking down of the system.
He was born in Virginia, but had been a
citizen OF the District for the Iast fifty
years. During the construction OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal he was super
intendent of the masonry work for the en-
tire length of the waterway. He also had
charge of the building of the b idge
across the Potomac at Cabin John. For
many years he was a member Of the
Dumbarton Avenue NJ. z. Church. The
funeral will take place from the church
next Friday afternoon at 2:30 oc ock. Dr.
Stitt, the pastor of the church, Will Off
ciate. Interment will be made in Oak Hill
Cemetery.
Edward Massey, Berry Broadus, and
Jacob Terrell were arrested yesterday af-
ternoon by officer Lohman near the Ten
leytoWn power house and charged with
cruelty 10 animals. For some time past
the citizens in the vicinity have complained
TO the police that the drivers of several
brick wagons engaged in hauling from the
yards near Rosslyn to Chevy Chase were
abusing their hOrs S by attempting TO make
them maui more than they are able Up
the steep hill just beyond the power house.
At this season of the year the roads are
very muddy and the hauling is especially
hard. The drivers have been in the habit
of beating and kicking their horses in or
der TO stimulate them to further effort.
Some time ago officers were stationed 10
watch them, but while the officers were
present the men treated their horses in a
humane way. Yesterday two agents from
the Humane Society went TO the scene CT
the trouble and watched the drivers for
a little while and during that time Sc
cured sufficient evidence 10 make good
case against them
Attention has been called to the bad
condition of the concrete pavement in the
vicinity CT Thirty-fifth and Streets. The
pavement for some distance is apparently
undermined and in its present condition
is exceedingly dangerous TO horses and
pedestrians. This is due TO the bursting
of the water mains and the consequent
tearing up of the street for the purpose
Of making repairs. A prominent citizen
remarked this morning that had the re-
pairs been made in some section of the
city where there is a citizens association
the streets would have been repaired long
ago.
