Washington, 1t is claimed, is becoming
more and more every year shopping CEN

which cater exclusively to this trade is the

Mr.. Adkins thought 1t would be we'll to
strike out the word three" suggesting that
the justices Of the Supreme Court might
possibly take ofense at such a request.
He thought the association should ask
for but the one vacancy at this time.
Mr.. Weller said he objected to such a
change being made. He thought 1t was
the duty of the association to protest
against the gross injustice that had been
perpetrated upon the citizens of East Wash
ington and other sections, and it was prop
er that the justices should be censured for
what they had done. They took all the
members of the board from the section
of the city which sends only about 40
per cent of the children to the schools
thereby ignoring the 60 per cent

treatment is unfair; it is not American"
The resolution was adopted without being

Residents Of Georgia avenue turned out
! in full force last night and attended the
meeting of the East Washington Citizens
Association. Some of them carried with
them samples of the Georgia avenue mud
upon their shoes, SO much that the ALI
r-five-cents would have raised his
price had they called upon him to render
service. But they could not help taking
the mud with them, and it was used as an
object lesson during the discussion of their
grievances. Georgia avenue, 1t was stated,
Is one of the original avenues Of the city,
and despite the fact that it has been i'm
proved by the erection of homes ana that
1t Is considered the most important thor
oughfare in that section, its roadway is
impossible, and the greater part of 1t is
without even a sidewalk.
Last winter 1t was stated children
were compelled to remain home from school
because of the depth of the mud
To add insult to injury" said one of the
complaining residents "the Commissioners
even went far as to take up a plank
walk that was in use and throw 1t to one
side. When the planks were removed we
thought a new sidewalk was to be laid,
but we were greatly disappointed"
Mr.. Weller's Protest.
Mr.. M. l. Weller entered a vigorous pro-
test against the effort that is being made
by senator from Georgia to change the
name of the avenue. He suggested that
the matter should be called to the atten-
ton Of the Columbia Historical Society and
every effort should be made to preserve
the Original plan of the city. Should the
effort to change the name succeed, he
stated, there is no telling what other names
will be changed. The matter was referred
to the executive committee with power to
take the necessary action.
Street Committees Report.
Following the discussion about the con-
dition of Georgia avenue Chairman Gil
rouard submitted his report, which reads:
Whereas certain avenues in the city, on
which handsome rows of residences have
been erected or are now in progress of
erection, which avenues are more particu-
larly mentioned in the report of the chair
man of the committee on streets and al
leys. dated March %, 1905, are greatly in
need of improvements, as they are thor
oughfares: and whereas these improve
ments have been recommended by this as

without relief;
Therefore, inasmuch as numerous i'm
provements have been made and are going
to be made in Georgia avenue the COM
m1ttee recommends that Georgia avenue
be paved from 18th to 18th streets. and
that item of paving be placed at the head
OF the list for Improvements in the south
east section"

The association elected officers to serve
during the coming year, the incumbents
being selected with the exception of Mr.
B. w Clarke. who has held the position
of treasurer for a number of years. He
declined another election because of hav-
ing changed his place of residence. While
ne is now resident of Virginia he stated
he desires to retain his membership in the
association. His position was filed by the
unanimous selection of Mr. w. Mosby

members of the association Mr.. Thomas

Mr.. Smith also stated:

dition of Georgia avenue that he desired
to repudiate and to take away its name
and give the name of Georgia to some other
but greater thoroughfare in this district.
This ought not to be done and will not be

duty, and am assured that that duty will

More and larger schools are needed on

they are playing upon the streets. This
subject is now being considered by COM

officials Have Ordered Changes Made In Present Buildings.

Chicago, June 9.-Rumors to the ef- Thomas J. Lipton of London as it's chief packer is to be established near Gary, Ind, adjacent to the property of the United States Steel corporation, were in circulation Friday. Several of the best known real estate men in Chicago were named among those said to be acquiring land for the purpose.
 Although the story generally was discredited among the packers, it was declared that at least six plants are to be removed from Chicago to In- diana. It is said the plans include the digging of canal to the little Calumet river for the purpose of carrying of refuse.
 The building commissioner, Peter Bartzen, and the sanitary commission CT, Perry l.. Hedrick, served notice Friday on the packers to make i'm provements which it is estimated by Bartzen will cost close to $1,000,000.
 Bartzen declared that practically all the buildings In the stock yards were erected without city building permits. He said he will ask the city council to give him fifteen special inspectors for term of thirty days. The sani- tary commissioner said the packers are willing to adopt all suggestions made by his department.
 Mayor Dunne sent letter to the Secretary of Agriculture, James Will son, urging him to give his views in reference to the joint appointment of a committee of high grade pathologists and experts to pass on the purity of meats sent out from the stock yards June 2 the mayor sent MT. Wilson telegram in regard to the matter, but he received only brief telegraphic reply. s,.n s..rv

The chief clerk of the general superintendent of the Pennsylvania has testified that, as the purchaser of coal supplies for acertain division of that system, he received an average of four cents per ton for all fuel bought. And this, too, in ad- dition to generous gifts of stock in the various coal companies with which he did business. He thought these perquistes belonged to the office and that they had been en- joyed by his predecessor. Yet great strikes have been ordered and main- tained and thousands of workmen and their families have suffered the severest hardships because of differ ences of not more than four cents per ton on coal. Graft is something more than robbery it is often op- pression. Kansas City Star.
