Association Adopts Resolution Against
RELIGION in Schools.

Resolutions of vigorous protest against
the proposed introduction Of religious train
ing into the public schools of the District
were adopted at the monthly meeting of the
Brookland Citizens Association, held last
evening. Copies of the resolutions signed
by the president and the secretary of the
association will be sent to the Commission
ers and to the board of education. Discus
sion of this subject occupied much of the
time of the meeting.
In the course of the routine business
President Kinnan called upon DIR. NJ. j.
Holmes as chairman of the committee on
schools, for fis report He presented the
public schools, opening up the discussion
of the matter. The views were nearly all
one way. One member said that once the
system had been started it could not be
told where ii would stop. Another member
pointed out that the schools should keep
within their proper bounds, making the pu-
pills proficient along those lines. leaving
other instruction to the home influence or
to other means. M. NJ. Mclean was in ia
vor of moral instruction in the schools, but
was opposed 10 anything approaching sec
tarianism, That, however, is the lurking
danger in the adoption of religious training
in the public schools.
The Importance of grading and paving
Bunker Hill road so that it would pass I'M
der the railroad was touched on briefly.

For engaging in fishing in the Potomac
river with dip net, contrary to the stat
ute of the District, Arthur Hazelock was
yesterday sentenced to pay fines of $40 in
each of two cases tried in the Police Court
before Judge Scott According to the testi-
mony of officer Preston of the seventh pre-
cinct station, who made the arrest, a war
rant was sworn out about a year ago for
five fishermen for fishing with dip nets, and
all except the defendant in this case was
arrested and convicted. On last Tuesday
this defendant was caught with about l. 200
herring in his boat, caught by dip net. He
was brought up in the Police Court on the
old charge and a new charge in accord
ance with the discovery on Tuesday.
Counsel for the defendant pleaded that
the man made his living by fishing and
knew no other business, and that the law
against dip-net fishing was passed some
time ago in the interest of sportsnen to
keep the fishing good for their sport and
threatening the livelihood of the fishermen
or the river

the law to fish with dip nets. and imposed
the penalties provided for such violations.

CAUSED By DISAPPOINTMENT.
Suicide Of Henry 0'Neil Follows Re-
fusal Of Immediate Marriage.

The account of the suicide of Henry
O'Neil, the young sailor, at the home of his
father. John O'Neil, at 1917 West Lanvale
street, Baltimore, develops that the young
woman mentioned as having disappointed
him in love affair was Miss Grace ONeil,
who lives at 1912 street southeast, this
city. O'Neil had been employed about a
training ship in the navy for some time.
and after paying visit to his sweetheart
Thursday evening of this week he left for
his home in Baltimore, where he arrived
early Friday morning. His mother and sis
ter were up stairs in the house sewing at
the time he arrived and short time later
heard the report of a pistol shot. They
hurried down, stairs and found the young
man in an unconscious condition, the bullet
having pierced his heart.
The reports from Baltimore stated that
Miss O'Neil had Tilted him, and this was
ascrbed as the reason for his rash act. AT
the home of the young woman it was stated
that ONeil had called upon her Thursday
evening and asked her to marry him the
following day. She refused, and he left for
his home in Baltimore. 1t is said that ar
rangements had been made for the wedding
September 3 of this year, but O'Neil wanted
the young woman to consent to an earlier
marriage, which she would not do.
Miss O'Neil read the news yesterday af-
ternoon, but could not believe 1t was her
intended husband. Her doubts were later
dispelled when a letter was delivered to her
which had been written by young O'Nei
before he committed the rash act which
resulted in his death.
The letter read as follows:
Dear Grace: Why didn't you consent last
night? When you receive this 1 will either
be dead or badly wounded that won't
be worth marrying. I am disappointed, and
after finishing this letter and mailing it to
you, will shoot myself Yours. lovingly,
HARRY"
