what is known as an outside man"
selling jewelry on the installment plan.
He has been employed by several local
houses
Sunday Lydick disappeared. Prior to
his sudden departure. he pawned nearly
all OF the Jewelry he carried as sam
pies, amounting to the sum named Some
$500 worth has been recovered.
That the missing man was able to pawn
so large an amount of jewelry without
exciting suspicion is explained by the
pawnbrokers in this way. 1t is said TO
have been a custom OF his to assist his
customers. who had bought on the in
stallmcnt plan. and were unable to meet
a payment. by pawning their goods for
them until such time as they were able
to redeem them, meeting their payments
from thessum thus obtained.
In this way he was we'll known to the
pawnbrokers, and enjoyed their conf
dence. When, therefore, on Saturday
he pawned larger amount than usual.
nothing was thought of It.
Lydick was married, and lived with
Charles LYDIA, at 1916 North Capitol
Street.

Georgetown Citizens AS
sOciatiOn's Meeting.
WANT ROCK CREEK FILLED
Then Would Have 1t Tunneled-Reso.
luton to Convert Carnegie Library
Into Technical School.

An interesting meeting was held last
night at Cooperative Hall, on Thirty
second Street northwest. by the George
town Citizens Association. Owing to
President Janney's illness, George W.
King. vice president of the association,

Col. Henry +. Blount, of the commit
tee on legislation, offered a resolution
asking the District Commissioners for
q bridge across Rock Creek at Q Street,
and the purchase of the Boyce tract on
Georgetown Heights, as a site for a
public park. The resolution was so
strenuously objected to. however. that
IT was withdrawn by the author.
Smith Thompson, jr.. referring to
Colonel Blounts resolution, said If a
bridge across Rock Greek were asked for.
it would completely defeat the project.
which has long been on foot, Of having
Rock Creek filled in and tunneled, thus
making Georgetown and Washington one.
and not separated by this filthy little
stream.
Park Wanted Elsewhere.
Mr.. Thompson also said relative to the
purchase of the Boyce tract, as a site
for a park, that If this were asked of
the Commissioners. Georgetown would
never have a park in the square bounded
by Thirty-third rty-fourth, Q and r
Streets northwest, for which a special
committee. consisting of Messrs. Thomp-
son and 2. H. Copp. have been so ar
IDENTIFY working the past year.
After lively discussion as TO the ad-
/ visibility of having Rock Creek filed in
and tunneled, DR.. George w. Wood Of
fered the following resolution. which
was carried;
Resolved, That the committee on pub
lie improvements determine the advisa-
bility of employing some one to see all
persons owning property AUDITING OF
Rock Creek, and ascertain their senti-
ments relative to filling in and tunnelins
| the creek, from Lyons Mill to the Ches-
apeake and Ohio Canal. and If they are
in favor of same. to hold a mass meet
\ ing to accomplish that purpose.
Demand for Public Night School.
The following resolution was offere,
and unanimously carried: Resolved
That the Honorable Commissioners b.
respectfully requested to provide Thu
section with a public night school"
A night school in Georgetown is ur

George W. King offered two resolu
tions. one regarding the high rate o
