SOUTH WASHINGTON
CITIZENS MEET
Discuss Plans to Eliminate
Grade Crossings.
Freight Cars on CrossingS-Prot.st
Against Long Wnits-Commit-
tee to Investigate.

The South Washington Citizens Asso-
citation started upon permanent basis
last night when its Getting was held in
Parish Hail. corner OF Ninth and d Streets
southwest.
Mr.. VI. c. Hazen, chairman of the rail-
road committee, submitted an interesting
report upon the proposed elimination OF
grade crossings in South Washington. as
provided for in the recently revised ter
minal bill. exhibiting by a drawing the
effect upon the streets of that section by
the proposed structures in connection
with the new terminals.
Changes in Plan Suggested.
Mr.. Hazen criticised the plans to some
extent. offering certain suggestions which
traffic of the area affected by the rail-
road structures. For example, he sug-
gested that the depression of the tracks
begin at Seventh instead OF Ninth Street,
as proposed in the plans submitted with
the bill.
The subject was discussed at some
length, resulting in the committee being
instructed to press the consideration of
their ideas upon the attention of the
District Commissioners.
Freight Cars on Crossings.
The president of the association. Mr..
James F. Scaggs. called the attention of
the association to the standing of freight
cars upon the crossings leading from
South Washington to the centre of the
city. He stated that this was contrary
to law, that it was unreasonable and I'M
just to the residents of the section
He declared that many times it became
necessary for people going up town to
wait ten. fifteen, twenty minutes on
the convenience Of the train crews to get
their cars out of the way so that the
street cars or pedestrians could pass. Mr..
Scaggs advocated the appointment of
special committee Of public safety to &C
into this matter and to press it upon the
attention of the District Commissioners
with a view TO betterment of present con-
ditions.
Appointment of Committee.
This plan wa2 adopted. and the presi-
dent stated that he would take the ques-
tiOn Of the appointment of the committee
under advisement and inform the mem
bers of their appointment before the next
meeting.
DR.. NJ f. Thompson called the atten-
ton of the association to the manifest in
justice meted out to the southwest sec
ton of the city in the matter Of expendi-
ture for public Improvement. Dr. Thomp-
son had been 10 the District Building, and
had there been given access to figures
which went to show that the southwest
section receives annually a much less pro-
portion of the public money relative to
its taxable property than any other sec
ton.
a resolution was passed instructing the
secretary TO address letter to Mr.. John
X. Sutton. the Harbormaster. conveying
the thanks of the association for the ener-
getic manner in which he met the danger
from flood and gorging of the ice in the
river. The resolution also contained a
complimentary reference TO the general
efficiency of the work of the Harbormas-
ter.

ton man who knew him, and who hurried
over from Boston during the night in re-
Spouse to a telegram sent by Captain

tectives Immediately closed in upon him
and hustled him into Captain Titus Of

He will be arraigned in the Tombs Po-
lice Court this afternoon.
Yesterday n short. stocky man, with
great breadth of shoulders and very bow
legged. walked into police headquarters
with his coat collar turned up and muffied
to the chin. He made his way to the rear
of the building. where Sergeant Frank
Mangin has charge OF the office of boiler
inspectors.
Sergeant Mangin was out and the
stranger referred his request to Rounds
man Lusser. He said that he was living

the diplomats with whom he was

depend absolutely on his discretion. no
matter how great the temptation from
