stepped TO the platform and called the

the chairman and the delegates felt the
chilliness OF the atmosphere and were
fearful lest the blood would not be stir
red or not could not be learned. but
they kept on rain coats and overcoats.
1t was well they did, for It seemed like
an effort to work up enthusiasm among

NAVY IS INSTRUCTED
TO ECONOMIC FUEL
Lack of Funds and Prospective Rise in
Price of Coal Incentive for
Order.

Exhaustion OF funds for the purchase
of fuel. the failure OF Congress to ap4
propriate a sufficient amount 20 buy
all that would be required during the
year. and the prospective increase in the
price of coal because OF the strike stu
alton, have resulted in orders being is
sued for q marked curtailment in the
amount used by the vessels of the Navy
and alterations Of the plans OF move
ment of the different warships during
the coming summer.
II there has been a reason hitherto
in the Navy Department for Precau-
tionary measures against extravaganza
in the use of fuel aboard vessels. there
is in the lack of coal and the higher
price Of that material additional occa,
sion for economy in this direction Spec
ial instructions accordingly have been
issued TO fleet and squadron command
ers, and through them TO those in conl-
mand of the vessels, calling for the
exercise OF unusual care and economy in
the use of coal.
An immediate effect Of the lack Of
action by Congress is the limitation Of
cruises. Only such trips by the men
of war as are deemed absolutely es-
sential for the performance OF duties
devolving upon the service and TO pre-
serve the efficiency OF the force afioat,

Northeast Citizens to Fight
Commissioners Bill.
COMMITTEE TO PROTEST
Association Takes Drastic Action to
Block Legislation to Enlarge
Present Powers.

Decisive action was taken by the
Northeast Washington Citizens As
Sociation last night by the adoption Of
plan to block the District Commits
sioners' move to get Congress to invest
them with discretionary powers in the
matter Of narrowing and widening
streets TO suit what they regard as pub
hc convenience Recently, DR.. L. d.
Walter, as the associations representa-
tive. succeeded in getting the Court Of
Appeals to issue an Injunction to pre-
vent the Commissioners from narrow
ing G street northwest Last night he
introduced a resolution to appoint a
committee of five TO appear before the
subcommittee of the District Appropria-
tons Committee to protest against any
legislation looking to enlarge the Com
inlssioners' powers in the matter OF
street supervision, and it was passed
unanimously. President Evan II
Tucker Will appoint this COMMITTEES later
IN the week. and they will be instructed
70 press their contention vigorously be-
fore the subcommittee.
Says It's Ridiculous.
In the general discussion over the
fight which the association has waged
to maintain the present width OF c.
street from Fourth TO Fourteenth street
northeast, President Tucker said that it
was ridiculous for the Commissioners
10 ask the Court of Appeals to reverse
its verdict by Withdrawing the injunc-
tion. 1t was the associations duty. he
said. to prevent the Commissioners get
unS from Congress any legislation
which would give them power tc die
tate the width of streets, notwithstand-
ing protests by citizens
Secretary SOwerbutts revived the re-
cent agitation over the question of bet
ter car service in the city by q resolu-
ton to investigate into the action of a
general committee appointed from mem
be-s of various citizens associations
throughout the city at a big mass
meeting held some time ago at the Ma
sonic Temple. This committee was ap-
pointed, he stated, TO petition the car
companies for better schedules partic-
ularly into the suburbs, and il was a
matter OF interest as 10 what the com
mittee had accomplished.
Car Service Again Bad.
DR. Starr Parsons stated that there
had been n noticeable improvement in
the car service Immediately following
the mass meeting. but that lately the
car companies have lapsed into their
indifference of public needs. and the
Electric Railway lines. was as bad
as ever.
DR. L. d. Walter recommended that
temporary sidewalks be laid under the
II street subway TO insure safety to
pedestrians. Ths matter will be taken
UP with the Commissioners at once.
A resolution Ct regret at the death of
J. w. BabsoE. late president of the
East Washington Citizens Association,
was adopted.

Light receipts Of cattle have been
the rule this week, the supply each
day being short Of demand. Killers
were able to get. only small part of
what they needed. This had the effect
of holding values firm here in the face
Of declines in the east. There was some
tendency towards lower level on steer
stuff, but buyers were unable to do
much in the way Of forcing decline.
Some stuff moved a little lower, but
towards the close of the week every
thing taken off was recovered. Butcher
cows were not affected at all, and
to 15c higher than the preceding week.
Quality was about the same, averaging
fair to good, with choice grades scarce.
Veal calves declined Csc. Butcher and
bologna bulls gained about 25c.
The stocker and feeder market had
an excellent tone this week, the only
feature causing complaint. being the
very light receipts. Trade opened with
fewer cattle in the yards than at any
time this year, and with limited fresh
offerings the supply was small. Demand
was very strong and the attendance of
buyers considerable, and yard dealers
had orders which they were unable to
fill. Under the influence of this demand
prices advanced Zoe to 15c on the me-
dunn grades, and choice kinds would
