EcKINGToN CITIZENS MEET.
The Needs OF the City Discussed and
improvements Suggested.

The North Capitol and Eckington Citi-
zens' Association, at meeting held last
night at the Church of the United Breth-
ren. corner of North Capitol and r
Streets, determined that the community
required better rapid transit facilities and
that this subject should be considered in
the proposed scheme for a system of pub
lie parks The question Of better school
facilities for white children was also dis
cussed.
In the matter of rapid transit nearly
every member of the association had some
personal complaint TO voice. After con-
siderable discussion a resolution was
adopted conveying the demand of the as
sociation for better service and threaten
ing to request Congress to place the ar
rangement of service schedules in the
hands OF the District Commissioners with
power TO impose penalties for non-com-
pliance. In the discussion which preceded
the adoption Of the resolution, municipal
ownership of the electric lines of the city
was generally advocated.
A report of the committee on schools
and schOOlhouSes was made and the atten-
ton Of the association was drawn to the
proposed erection of another COlOred
schoolhouse near lexington. The assO-
citation directed the committee TO ascer-
tain the centre of the cOiOred population
with a view of having the proposed school
building located convenient 70 the chill

sioners to complete the school for white
children at Lincoln Avenue above 4
Street in time for the fail school term was
next under discussion. The fact was
brought out that at present eight of the
schools in this section of the city have
halliday closes, and that the facilities for
the white children are entirely Inadequate.

parks were discussed, and the following
resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the Parking Commission
be requested 10 include in the proposed
system of parks for this city some of the
vacant lands in the vicinity of lexington.
notably the natural parks between Third
Street lexington Place. New York Ave

southern portion Of the Patterson estate
adjoining KenGall Green
The Executive Committee and the Com
mittee on Parks and Parking were direct

A Special Bulletin Issued by the

slowly, but not sufficiently to check the
fall in the Ohio, which should continue
to fall unless another heavy rain occurs
during the next few days. an event not
now probable. At Parkersburg the stage
was AS feet, rise of 0S foot since a.
m and 5.S feet above the danger line. 1t
is still rising slowly. but the additional
rise will probably not exceed l foot At
Point Pleasant, w. Va, the stage was 50
feet. Ii feet above the danger line, and
at Cincinnati 81 feet, / foot above the
danger line. Between the two places the
river is still rising at the rate of % foot
an hour, and the rise viii probably con-
tinue during Tuesday. There is no ocCa-
sion for serious alarm at Cincinnati. but
preparations have been made for crest
Of 81 feet.
AT Madison Ind, the stage was 80
feet and at Louisville 1873 feet rise at
the latter place since a. m. of 81 feet.
and S5 feet below the danger line. The
Kentucky River is also very high and the
danger line of % feet will probably be
reached at Louisville on Wednesday
morning, with an expected crest of about
30 feet a short time later AT Evansville
the stage at 7 p. m. was 27.1 feet a rise of
"a feet since a. m, and 15 feet below
the danger line. The danger line Will
probably be reached during the next two

FALK'S APPEAL REFUSED.
The United States supreme Court
Sustains Judge Cole.

The Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday affirmed the judgment of the
Supreme Court of the District in the case
of Maxilimilian w. Falk, who was con-
victed of violation of the Edmunds act in
January, 1899, and was sentenced to inn
prisonment in the penitentiary for a pc
riod of six months.
During his trial in Criminal Court No.
L Falk created a sensation by jumping
his bail the night of the first day of the
proceedings The testimony wasS very
strong against him and he showed a great
deal of uneasiness during the day On
the morning following Charles Bendheim,
his counsel, stated that an hour before
court convened he received note from
Falk stating that he would not appear
that day for trial. Justice Cole, who was
on the bench. ordered the trial to be pro-
ceeded with and Mr.. Bendheim asked the
permission of the court to withdraw as
counsel for the defendant The request
was granted and the taking of testimony
continued. The case was submitted to the
jury and a verdict of guilty WIS returned
against the absent defendant.
Some days afterward Falk's wife em-
ployed other counsel and a motion for
new trial and arrest of judgment was
filed. on the ground that F'alk had been
convicted in his absence. The motion was
oyerruled by Justice Cole and an appeal
WAS taken to the Court of Appeals for
the District After argument by District
Attorney Anderson and Assistant District
Attorney Gould for the Government and
AIessrs. Padgett * Forrest for the de-
fendant the Court of Appeals affirmed the
Judgment of the trial court.
An appeal was then taken to the Su-
preme Court of the United States, raising
the question of the jurisdiction of the
| local court. the contention being that
the Edmunds act was not in force in the
District of Columbia This appeal was
dismissed by the Supreme Court of the
United States and then the case was
a gain taken up on a petition asking that
| a writ of ceriorari be issued compelling
the lower court to send up a transcript
of the record in the case. This petition
was also denied.
| At the time Falk was indicted by the
! grand jury of the District he conducted a
confectionery business on Eleventh
Street, between e and F northwest. He
gave bond for his appearance for trial,
but Immediately left this jurisdiction and
went to New York. He was brought back
for trial and. as stated. on the second day
of the proceedings failed to appear and
his bond was forfeited.
He gave new bond for his appearance
~ await the result of his appeal to the
higher court and was released. 1t is stated
that he is now in Philadelphia, where he
is carrying on a confectionery business.

Thieves Enter - House Through "a

Mrs J. y. Deil0nau. Of 9i3 J. Street
northwest. reported to Policeman McCort,
Of the Second precinct. about O'Clock
last night that her house had been en-
tered by thieves. She stated that she had
been absent from her home for a short
time. and upon her return heard a noise
while ascending the stairs rs though some
person was running across the floor. Has
teuiug up stairs Mrs. Deikmau says she
found some money lying about the floor,
which had been taken from the bureau
drawer, whore it had been pIaced by her
husband 4 jimmy or some other sharp
instrument had been used To open the
bureau drawers.
Bicycle Policemen b,cGrath and Van
Horn were Immediately despatched to the
Deikman. residence by Sergeant Duvall
and made "A thorough examination of the
dwelling and all alleys ia that vicinity
but could obtain no Information regard
ing the matter. The police are OF the
opinion that the robbery is the work OF
some person who knew the place.
In order to gain entrance the burglar
took a ladder from one Of the back yards
in the vicinity and placed il against the
shed in the rear of the house. Ii is thought
that the sudden appearance of Mrs. Dek-
man startled him 50 that in running
across the room TO reach place OF safety

1t was stated at the War Department
vest erday that this Government will not
take any steps to prevent the construc-
ton of Il railroad across Cuba by the Van
norne syndicate. IT is held that the prop
osition does not come within the lines of
the Foraker amendment prohibiting the
granting OF franchises in Cuba as the
promoters intend TO purchase the land
upon which the line is To be constructed.
AS TO the progress of the line through
provinces and municipalities IL is said
that the right TO build through them rests
with the municipalities themselves. al
though it is possible that grants 10y the
municipal authorities will have to be ap-
proved by the Governor General of the
island Although it was stated that there
might arise in the future some question
whether the building of the road WAS in
conflict with the Foraker amendment it
was intimated that this Government does
not feel bound to interfere with the build
ing of such line
