a pump of cool water near that point. With
barroom there It might be different. We
women Will work hard and add our mite in
the good cause"
q generous outburst of applause
Mr.. Benjamin Rush of North Takoma sug-
gested that Secretary Grabill communicate
with Vice President George H Harries OF
the Washington Railway and Electric Conn
pany and seek his assistance in preventing
the establishment Of such resort. The
suggestion was approved by the meeting
He also said he believed Gen. Harries was
in full sympathy with the movement and
would cooperate with the citizens.
Secretary Grabill said Cen Harries had
promised to attend public hearing be-
fore the excise board. IL such hearing Is
granted.
A great many people drive down in their
vehicles to the point where 1t is proposed
to establish the saloon, according to Mr..
Stewart. They come from Sandy Spring
and other points, and some Of them leave
their teams at the livery stable. If the
temptation is there for the drivers to
drink he thought, they will do so in
many instances
THAT was the case" he added, when
the notorious 'speak-easy' was In that
locality"
He spoke of the accidents that might
result because of Intoxicated drivers also
how Objectionable the proposed bar room
would be to the school children, who
would have to wait for cars in front of q
groggery."
Spontaneous Movement.
Mr. Wilson again urged that hearty.
spontaneous movement against the pro-
posed saloon be entered upon. In that
way I'VE can lay the ghost for while, at
least"
Mrs. Burkett was invited to circulate
another petition for signatures and the
chairman suggested that she had thus
gotten herself in trouble.
II came here looking for trouble" re-
piled Mrs Burkett. smilingly, her sally
being greeted with applause.
Another speaker said a fight had been
waged for fourteen years against either
saloon or speak-easy at the point named.
and he declared the people were now very
much in earnest In this matter.
Mr.. Jordan of Silver Springs informed the
meeting that the citizens Of that place were
opposed to saloon at the District line,
and were preparing a petition to be for
warded to the excise board
Some Signatures.
At the conclusion of the meeting the fol-
lowing signatures were appended to the
petition. which will be presented to the
