guest Of the Fraternal Jonadabs, and ne
was enthusiastically welcomed. worthy
Chief A. w. Brandt presided.
The regular order Of business was sus-
pended in order to give Mr.. Moore an OPP
portunity to state the terms upon which II
is proposed to cement the two bodies He
spoke for over an hour, during which time
he commented upon the good work now
being done by all of the temperance work
ers, and said in conclusion:
TT is time for us to get together IN the
beautiful city of Washingto the capital OF
this nation and form one grand body OF to-
tai abstainers. all to work in harmony IN
the reformation of the unfortunate Inc
briate. Such is the desire Of the Rechab bites

Tuesday, August 13 and IA, in editorial
comment, expressed sentiments which APP
TO al n
this community touching upon the untortu-
nate death in a police cell of this city of a
visitor to this city, 1t is ordered that the
editorials in question be spread upon the
minutes of the records Of the Fraternal
Sons of Jonadab.
I'VE, the members Of Washington Coun-
Gil No. I, heartily commend the editorials
mentioned. We believe that some regula-
ton should be devised by the Board OF
Commissioners of the District Of Columbia
by which the commanding officers of the
various police precincts should be required
to see that in future the unfortunate per-
sons brought In on charge Of intoxication
shall be given humane treatment.
I'VE desire to go on record as saying that
the recent death of human being in the
sixth precinct police station, apparently
through the inattenton of somebody, should
never have occurred in our fair city"
Every member of the council discussed
the resolution.
