like to reside there, but for several reasons
he did not take up his residence in that
section. He stated that he was glad that
within the last year he had become resi-
dent of the Heights. Il have been con-
tent to be a listener like young member of
Congress" continued Rabbi Stern, and the
meetings have been enjoyable. We l
like to say the word-we should all work
for the betterment of the heights. | have
citizen in name only, but tonight as I look
into your faces l feel that | am an Ameri-
can citizen in every sense of the word.
Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker the president of
the Brightwood Citizens Association made
an interesting talk. Mr.. Shoemaker said:
The Evening Star is the most potent fac
tor in the District today. What we need
in the District is to put things a bust
ness basis. We should have a bond issue
and pay off all the debts and make the
necessary Improvements. The municipal
hospital. as spoken of by Mr.. Noyes should
be built. Bridges should also be erected
and many of the streets should be extended
so that the city may grow larger and more
valuable. l believe in current revenue for
current expenses. Congress should allow
the bond issue. Washington would go on.
Mr. Shoemaker called attention to street
extensions and spoke of the work on 18th,
18th and 10th streets. The meeting then
adjourned, after which refreshments were
served and the meeting resolved itself into
a social hour, at which the various mat
terS before the association were discussed
by those in attendance.

STRANDED AT DEPOT.
Mother and Four Children Arrived
Here Without Funds.

woman and four children who spent
several hours in the Baltimore and Potomac
depot Monday attracted the attention of
Policeman Walsh of the sixth precinct.
When they had remained there so long a
time without making much inquiry about
the arrival or departure of trains the po-
liceman thought it was about time for him
to make an investigation. The children
had played about the railroad station, had
eaten lunch that their mother had brought
with her and seemed perfectly contented
until night came on. Then they became
sleepy and restless and wanted to leave the
station When questioned by the police
man the woman said her name was Flora
Levin and that she had come here from
Lynchburg. Va, en- route to the home of
her brother in Homestead, Pa. She was
without funds and asked If the city would
not provide her transportation to her
there would be no trouble in getting trans
portatton for her and the children and
sent them to the house of detention where
they were made comfortable for the night.
Mrs. Levin told the policeman that her
youngest child was five years old and that
the eldest was eleven years of age She
said Inat her husband was fairly we'll off
few years ago and that he lost most of
his money and then, she said, he disap-
peared from Lynchburg and has not COM
muniCated with her. When the case was
referred to the board of charities Mrs
Levin and her children were advised to
make request of the local Hebrew Char
tiles organization. Mr.. Blout, president of
that organization, promptly consented to
assist the stranded family and made them
happy by giving them transportation.

CHAN Of the Department of Commerce and
Labor, who made an address This Is a
Land of Unlimited Opportunity" being his

upon his subject calling attention to the
golden opportunities of this land Of the

address were chiefly directed toward the
early development of the country and the
colonists of that period The speakers por-
travail of the early colonial life in this
country was most interesting. He made a
comparison between the old stone tower
of Newport and the round towers of the
Celtic race in ireland. by these old stone
towers the early settlers of this country
declared Prof. Monaghan, ARE linked in
some mysterious way with the Irish race
At the conclusion of the address the So

for the arrest of nine of the young men
engaged in this inappropriate celebration of
Christmas, and the trial resulted in fine
being imposed upon seven Of the offenders,
the charge against one being dismissed and
another being granted a rehearing. APP
pealS were taken by those upon whom
fine was imposed, and the mayor fixed the
bond in each case at $50.
An incident of the trial of these cases
was the irrelevant interruption of the pro-
ceedngs by ]. A. Lumkins. who, although
warned by Deputy Sergeant Cross. per
sisted in such interruption and was fined
$40 for contempt. 1t is said that other
warrants have been issued, and, as II Is
believed to be the intention of Mayor Col
Inns to prosecute any person who violates
the laws of the corporation, much de-
sired improvement in the morale of Vienna
will without doubt soon be noticeable.
