A STREET EXTENSION PLAN.
conference Between n Committee and
tin,. EnIn M I 81 iOners.


subcommittee Of the Committee on
Streets and Avenues Of the Washington
Board OF Trade called on the District Com
missioners this morning to talk over the
general features Of the street extension
plan.
II was stated by Commissioner Beach
that he had been approached by Reprasen-
tative Mercer in regard to the matter and
had been shown a bill which provided for
the aboIishing of Florida Avenue as the
city boundary and the opening of the
streets beyond in conformity to the street
and avenue plan of the city.
Anticipating that the question might
come before them for consideration, Com
missioner Wight had referred It 10 the
Attorney for the District to ascertain what
existing laws might be in conflict with the
scheme
Commissioner Ross stated that the sub
iect was not formulated as yet, and that
no definite proposition was before them
for consideration. He further stated that
the extension of streets beyond Florida
Avenue in conformity with the city plans
was a very complicated problem.
II would not only involve the closing Of
streets and the opening OF new ones. he
thought. but would involve the rights OF
electric lighting companies under the law
in changing conduits and telephone wires.
Il would besides call for revi sion OF the
laws governing police regulations, snd the
water and gas services
Commissioner Beach pointed out that
extensive changes would be required also
in appropriations, as they are now divided
between city and county.

tee from The Board of Trade for their call
and for the interest manifested in the
subject. They stated also that they would
be pleased to receive practical suggestion:
from the Board of Trade with reference
to the feasibility of the extension Of the
city in the way that is likely TO he pro-
posed.

than they were yesterday, but which the

the past few days were supported when
they reached levels approximately as low
as those OF yesterday. The railway secu-

held its own. What the outcome OF the
situation will be cannot be suTmised with
any hope OF certainty. The bull pools un-

THE "WHITE TRASH" DID 1T
Physician Investigated Matter and verl
ned Part of the Strange woman's
Jew story She Didn't Give Her ...
Name to Police.

A colored woman called at the police
station Saturday morning, and said an
attempt had been made by q white wo-
man to poison her. She carried n dingy
and dirty looking bucket in which there
was a quantity of coffee. She removed
the lid and displayed, to the officers,
the fluid inside. She also showed a
number of split match heads which had
been soaked in the stuff. She said she
didn't know who the party is that
wanted her to die. but she blamed the
matter on q white woman. She also
stated that she had been very i'll dur
ing, the night. which condition she at
tributed to the use of the poisoned cof-
fee at supper time Friday.
The woman was sent to the office OF
a local doctor for treatment. The ply
sieian stated that he found several
parts Of phosphorus, evidently match
heads. lying in the coffee; but as the
woman didn't require further medical
assistance she went away. The woman
failed to give her name or leave her ad-
dress with the physician or the police.
She thought that some one was angry
with her and that they sought revenge
in this manner. No affidavits were filed.
Therefore, no record of the case was
made by the police.
