BRIaHTWooD PARK CITIZENS.
Present School Organization Endorsed
and Plea for More Buildings Made

A meeting of the Brightwood Park Citi-
zens Association, held Monday night at
the office Of William Thomas, was the
most largely attended and the most inter-
esting session Of the season. The street
railroads were discussed, Mr.. Clayton Civ
ing a full report of the meeting that was
held last week. The association indorsed
the project of the Baltimore and Wash
ington railroad, which proposes to enter
Washington by way of Brghtwood, and
the hope was expressed that 1t would
not fail of completion in the near future,
as it would give the residents of this sec
ton another route to the city, in connec-
ton with the extended line of the Capt. al
Traction Company on 14th street.
A resolution was adopted indorsing the
action of the Commissioners in their OPP
position to the bills introduced into the
present session Of Congress intended to
change the school board, and 1t was the
sense of the membership that what the
schools of Washington need most is not
change in administration, but more build
ings, more teachers and better salaries
Report was also made on the subject of
the school building for Brightwood Park.
The action OF the House committee on
this item is being watched and should any
effort be made to cut out this appropria-
ton opposition will be encountered.
DR.. Heinecke offered a motion that re-
quest should be made for steam fire
engine TO be located at Brightwood in
place of the chemical engine, and attention
was called to the rapid growth of the sec
ton and the necessity for better fire pro-
lection.
Work on the extension of 14th street
called attention to the need of another
street to make the car line on that street
accessible, and Mr.. Thomas introduced a
resolution to the effect that the Commits
sioners place in their estimates for the
next fiscal year an item for the grading
and improving of Longfelow street west
ward from Brightwood avenue. With this
street cut through it would be easy to
reach the cars of the Capital Traction
Company. Two new members were elected,
Mr.. w. Charles Heitmuller and Mr.. Brunck-
ennoefer.

companied Mr.. Miersch. was efficient, and
also did especially well in his solos, partic-
ularly in his arrangement Of Siegmund's
Love Song" ard the scherzo from Brahm' 8
sorata. Near the close of the concert Mrs.
Bischon sang with pleasing effect three
new songs that have lately been composed
by DR.. Bischoff. Her rendering of the aria
from Verdis Ia Traviata.'' in which she
was accompanied upon the organ by DR.
Bischoff. showed q vel cultivated voice.

and Rev. Francis j. Grimke, at the semi
annual meeting of the trustees of Howard
University late yesterday. We're appointed

not be definitely made prior to the annual
meeting of the trustees next May.
Some time before DR. Gordons Tesigna-
ton as president of Howard University the
students of the institution, most of whom
are colored, made a noisy demonstration
in chapel one day in protest against the
discipline enforced by the president. The
report that a committee had been called to
investigate the trouble among the students
preceding the withdrawal of DR. Gordon
positively denied this morning
At the Office of the school this morning
1t was stated that no special time had been
set for a report from the committee. When
the body has made a selection a statement
to that effect will be made to the trustees.
So far as is known no name has yet been
considered.

EDUCATING NEGRORACE
ADDRESS BEFORE MEMS CLUB OF
UNIvERsALIsT CHURCH.

Rev. DR.. John Gordon, formerly presi-
dent of Howard University, delivered an adj
dress last evening before the Mems Club OF
the Universalist Church on the subject Of
education for the negro race. He discussed
the theme in a general way, making no
reference to Howard University or the
causes which led to his resignation the
head of that institution. Negroes need
leadership and the leaders must be edu-
cated,'' said DR.. Gordon. There must be
colleges and universities before there are
negro Schools" he continued. Highest
education for the leaders will swing the
ignorant classes into line and serve to up
lift the race. Where there are smart. WELL
educated negroes there is noticeable trend
toward them. There must be an example.
One of the greatest fields for work along
the line of civilization is in the education Of
the negro, especially the southern negro.
Colleges of the highest standard" he
said, and universities equal to those of the
white race must come to the rescue of the
negro. There must be perfect education
before there is perfect success. We are
taught 20 believe this when we observe the
conditions from an everyday standpoint

TIE OLD LONG BRIDGE
BILL AUTHORIZING ITS TEN
PoRARY RETENTION.

The proposition to postpone demolition
Of the old Long bridge. recently agitated
earnestly by manufacturing interests in
Alexandria county. has reached the
stage OF proposed legislation by Con-
gress. and the draft of bill to-
day< was reported upon by the Com
missioners. Favorable action is rec
commended by the local authorities but
they suggest. inasmuoh as previous legis-
lation placed the construction of the new
Highway bridge and the removal of the
old Long bridge under the Secretary of
War; that the bill be referred to Secretary
Taft for further report.
In preparing their findings on the pro-
posed measure the Commissioners give
brief resume of previous legislation with
reference to the old and new bridges, and
cite reasons why the old bridge should be
retained at least for time, in the FOL
lowing language:
."The object OF this bill is to extend the
time for the removal of the old Long bridge
for one year from the last-named date; that
is until February IL, 1907, and It directs inst
during the period Of extension the said
bridge shall be maintained by the railroad
company or it's successors in good and serv-
iceable condition for land and water franc.
Reasons for Extension.
1.-THE reason for the extension of time
proposed for the removal Of the Old Long
bridge is, that the law requiring such re-
movaI contemplated the demolition of the
bridge upon the completion of the new
Highway bridge, and this bridge has now
been completed, and the street cars are
either running or about to run over 1t in
accordance with existing law. In order to
keep the old Long bridge open a certain
amount Of expenditure will be necesstated.

There be no question that within
very short time this roadway would be-

sired to keep that bridge open for the time
