Der OF his surplus millions to establish
n permanent home for peace at The
Hague. and the Efforts OF statesmen
was being directed to bringing about n
condition that will make war practical
ly an impossibility. Uncle Sam.
through his War Department officials.
is proposing to establish target room
in the kindergarten and eventually
make every schoolboy in the nation an
expert marksman. This is one of the
developments OF the Dick militia bill
passed by the last Congress. The plan
has been recommended by a board OF
army officers, and 1t is understood that
Mr.. Root, the secretary of war. most
heartily approves OF 1t.
The army board. which has made
this recommendation to the War De-
partment. does not expect 1t to be put
into effect for sine time. but is has
recommended n number of other mat
tiers along this general line that will
be taken up at once. 1t is proposed to
stimulate interest in Workmanship out
side Of the regular militia organiza
tons. One item of the militia bill pro-
vided for an appropriation of $500 for
the purchase of a national trophy and
hleuuls anu o'hei pli1es ioi maj hhuh-
ship. The board has voted an appro-
priation of $1,000 for the purchase of
a national trophy which is to be hung
up every year for competition by any
and all rifle teams Of the country,
whether picked from the government
or state troops. or from private mill
tary organizations. The balance of the
appropriation will be used for the pur-
chase of medals and for cash prizes.
The first shoot under these arrange
ments will be at Sea Girt. in September
next. In addition to the national tro-
ply. a number Of other prizes will be
hung up for the meet.
The board has also recommended
that gun clubs be established all
over the country. to be supplied with
rifles and ammunition by the govern
ment. This is for the purpose of TAX
ing in men who do not wish to join
the state militia.

LABOR COMMITTEE REPLIES TO
STATEMENT OF THE ALLIANCE

The sole reason for the present DIM
cutIes is the fact that the Citizens Al
lance denies the right OF organized
employers to treat or sign agreements
with their employees. How can there be
arbitration between organized labor
and organized employers IN the ab-
sence OF agreements or contracts TO
carry out such decisions OF arbitration!
The differences between the central
body OF organized labor and the CEN
tral body of organized employers Is the
fact that the latter denies the employ
ers the privilege and right TO treat and
sign agreements with employees. while
the central body OF labor assumes no
such authority and each local union
treats with its employers as II sees nj.
We are not opposed to organization
OF employers. and we welcome their
existence to treat with organized labor
to assure the stability of Industrial
peace. The Citizens Alliance. however.
is an organization made up OF both en-
ployers and employees. the latter mem
bers TO be used In taking the places OF
union workmen who may strike be-
cause OF Differences with employers,
and II further denies the right OF or
ganized labor to use ,ne strike and boy
colt. the only effective means Mt the
command OF labor. to better it's condi-
tIon.
Our position is fully set forth in our
acceptance OF thy order OF the State
Board OF Arbitration TO allow that body
to arbltrate the present differences.
and TO which We refer TO the general
public for careful consideration. Re
spec,fully submitted.

Military Poll Tax.

Steps to enforce the collection of the
military poll tax will be taken immedi-
ately by Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell, who
says that the military fund should re-
seiye $4,000. instead OF the paltry sum
that is regularly turned over to the
state treasurer. II necessary. the adju-
tant general will invoke the law
against county treasurers who fail 10
collect the tax.
Within n few days every county
treasurer will be notified by the adju-
tant general that he is expected to col
leet 81 for the military fund from ey-
cry le-bodied man in the state of
military age and not exempt, The law
bearing on the question will be quoted
and the treasurers informed that they
must do their duty or suffer the con-
sequences.
Under the law governing the poll tax
all OF the money should be paid by

The law provides that the adJutant
general may proceed to attend to the
collection himself. II he finds that the
county trcasurers are not doing their

way In which the state Is given proper

The regular monthly meeting OF the
GEORGETOWN Citizens Association was held
last evening at the offices Of the First Co.
operatiye Building Association at sd street,
President B. T. Janney presiding. The hrst
business transacted was the adoption OF
resolution asking that the attention OF the
Commissioners Of the District of Columbia
be directed to the continual flling-in OF the
bed Of Rock creek through the careless
manner in which refuse is dumped, and also
requesting that the rules governing the
| dumping ground be made more rigid, with
| q view to preventing such flling-ln.
lit was also decided to tender reception
and buffet lunch to Mr.. Henry Lftchfleld

was instructed to make the necessary az
rangements.
During the evening President Janney adj
dressed the meeting relative to the proposed
organization of a central body of all the
citizens associations in the District. 1t was
agreed unanimously that the proposition Is
good one, but no definite action was
taken.
Mr. John Hadley Doyle, chairman of the
legislative committee, was instructed to
urge the Commissioners of the District to
expend the $4,000 claimed to be due the
Georgetown section of the city in improve
ments. This money is said to be due George
town as it's share of appropriations made

improvements in the District. 1t is alleged
that the amount remains unexpended.

OPPOSE GENERAL COMMITTEE.
Bloomingdale and LIE Droit Park Asso-
citation Expresses Adverse Views.

The regular monthly meeting Of the
Bleomingdale and LIE Droit Park Citizens
Association was held last night. During the
course of the meeting the question of the
formation of committee of the presidents
Of citizens associations for united action
was discussed and many adverse COM
ments were made regarding the scheme.
The association took no action, however,
preferring to lay the matter over until
the next meeting. After routine business
had been disposed Of, Judge Charles F..
Bundy of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association was introduced to make a short
address. Judge Bundy spoke of the great
good done by the citizens associations and
of their work for the particular section in
which they were located rather than for
the District as a whole He said there had
always been a certain amount of sectional
jealousy, but that it was not real Jealousy,
only friendly competition. Each section de-
sired to see the improvements made which
1t most needed and worked with all its
might to attain this end. Judge Bundy gave
1t his opinion that the influential citizens
Of the District were scattered through all
sections and that the people of the north
east had as great voice in Congress as
those fsthe northwest.
DIR. William Tindall. secretary to the Dis
trict Commissioners, made a short address
on the question of District Improvements in
which he praised the citizens associations
for their progress and the work they We're
doing.
A resolution was introduced and adopted
declaring it to be the sense of the meeting
that the new school building to be erected
in that section should not be placed on LIST
street. The resolution was introduced by
DR.. Jesse B. Schafhirt, who stated that he
thought it would be dangerous to locate a
school building on the main thoroughfare
to Soldiers Home. The constant passing
of the teams, he said made it extremely
dangerous for the children to play in the
streets as they were sure to DO.
The association was informed that Con-
gress has appropriated $4,000 for the pay
ing of Rhode Island avenue from Florida
avenue northeast. A resolution of thanks
to Senator McComas for securing the pas
sage of the bill with this amendment was
agreed to, after which resolution OF con-
graduation to Commissioner mcfarland on
his reappointment was adopted
An invitation was extended Mr. Macfar-
land to address the association at some
future time, after which the meeting was
adjourned.

ing at her home, 914 LIST street southwest.
George Mason, the woman's husband, works
In brick yard. He returned home this
morning about $50 o'clock and was unable
to understand why his house had not been
opened. He went from door to door and
knocked. but received no response. He was
certain that his wife had not gone out. The
house was SO securely fastened that Mason
found it necessary to use force In order to
effect an entrance. When he reached the
sleeping chamber he was Mortified at finding
his wife dead. She was apparently well
palms. Coroner hewitt viewed the body
later in the day. The woman's death was
due to natural causes, and an inquest will
