stations The health officer, the board of

stations. The health officer, the board OF
charities, the plumbing inspector and other
District authorities have made various rec
concentrations of this sort. The Commits
sioners found that Congress thought that
this was matter that could be deferred
until others that seemed of more pressing
necessity were attended to. During the
past seven years SO many important I'M
provements have been made or begun that
Congress has postponed others. including
the public bath project Now that some OF
the most important projects have been COM
pleted, or practically completed, am nope
full that others, including the pubic-baths
proposition, will be taken up by the COM
ing Congress.
"If we could get one model system OF
public baths in any of the forms suggested
1t would serve as an example which, after
successful experiment. would bring about
the construction Of others. For this rea-
son l suggested some years ago that some
public spirited citizen or group of citizens
could not do a better civic act than 10
present to the city model bathhouse. This
has been done by public-spirited men in
other cties-for example, in our neighbor
Baltimore-with the result that the mat
ter has been taken up by the municipality
after the need and the value of public baths
had been demonstrated practically by pri-
vate benefcence.
ut is not too late for such a gift now
Twenty-Five thousand dollars, exclusive of
the cost of the site, might furnish a
building and equipment suitable for such a
gift and such an experiment..

Husband Drops in on Family, Who
Got on Well Without Him.

NEW HAVEN, September 12.-EdWin l..
Pierce, a former Methodist preacher, Tues
day made a visit to his wife in New Brit
ain, whom he(had not seen since he left her
and his three small children in Long Is
land village thirty-one years ago.
Dressed in ministerial garb, he called at
the home of his family, but Mrs Pierce
failed to recognize her recreant spouse.
When he told her who he was she was still
somewhat skeptical, but invited him in to
prove his identity.
When she was convinced that it was in
deed her husband neither she nor her chill
dren had very enthusiastic welcome for
the wanderer, but after some discussion ii
was decided to patch up their differences
and Pierce Is the guest of his family.
He left his family to make a fortune,
and three times has accumulated large
sum only to lose 1t again. His last fortune
was swept away by the San Francisco fire
lust as he was about to return to hts family.
In her husbands absence Mrs. Pierce has
supported her children and has sent her two
boys through college without any aid from
him.

GEORGIA TO FIGHT.
Will Attack the Validity of the Four
teenth Amendment.

ATLANTA, September 12.-The state OF
Georgia will attack the validity Of the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution OF the
United States in the pending railroad rate
litigation that has been instituted in both
the state and federal courts. The state
will also make the point that the defend
ants in the suits have nothing to do with
the enforceme of the reduced passenger
rates. The two issues will be raised through
demurrers now being prepared.
The Central of Georgia railroad suit to
prevent the enforcement of the new rates
Is set for hearing September 16 before
Judge Newman or some other United
States Judge, and that of the Atlanta and
West Point has been set for the same
date in the Fulton county superior court.
Although questioned by many, the valid
ity Of the fourteenth amendment has never
been attacked in court. In the pending
rate litigation the railroads seek protection
of the federal government under the four
teenth amendment alleging that the order
of the Georgia railroad commission is con-
ftscatory because it denies them equal rights
under the law.

BETTER CAR SERVICE
ANACoSTIA ASSOCIATION DIS
CUssEs IMPROVEMENTS.

The Anacostia Citizens Association last
evening held its first meeting following the
summer recess. DR.. James A. Watson, the
president, was In the chair. Charles D.
Burr, acting for the street railroad COM
mittee, reviewed the Anacosta bridge trans
pOrtation difficulties growing out of re-
strictions of the Commissioners upon the
number Of passengers per carload. He
read from correspondence with Gen. Har-
ries indicating that the railroad was anx-
ious to do everything possible to relieve the
congestion. Several members declared that
there has been a noticeable improvement in
the operation of the cars.
One of Gen. Harries' letters stated that
the underground system will not be ex-
tended to the switch at Franklin street at
the time the bridge is opened for traffic,
nor for some years to come, owing to inse-
curity of foundation, and that the plow pit
will be located on the south end of the
bridge as near as possible to the structure.
George o. Watson could not conceive how
it possible to locate a plow pit on or
near the bridge and not hinder traffic. Pres
dent Watson explained that the enactment
providing for the building of the bridge
contains a clause making 1t compulsory
upon the railroad company to extend the
underground system along Monroe street.
After several others had expressed similar
Views it was voted, on motion Of Mr.. OF
terback, to refer that portion of Gen. Har-
ries letter relating to the underground ex-
tension to the District Commissioners, with
the request that the southern causeway
of the new bridge be constructed with
trestlewOrk like that installed at the foot
of 18th street southeast 1t was decided
to ask the Commissioners to urge appro-
priations for the following improveme nts
Arc lamps on Monroe street and on Har-
rison street; large sewer on Mape avenue;
paving with asphalt of Jackson, Washing
ton and Jefferson streets as far as Pierce
street; purchase of a playground for Ana
Costa and the purchase of the Christie
place, fronting on Harrison street, for
public park.
George o. Watson, chairman of the COM
mittee on police and fire departments, re-
ported that plans for a precinct station
house at Nichols avenue and Chicago street.

vester. The building will cost $4,000.

Approved by MI. Macfarland.

Commits sioner Mcfarland is also of the
opinion that these laundries will serve a
good puTposS, and he will lend his support
TO their naturalization. He said they are
common in Europe. He pointed out, how
ever, that there is not as great a need for
such a public charity in this country as in
Europe because there is not the same
amount of absolute poverty here.
Capt William Kelly, acting Engineer Com
missioner in the absence of Commissioner
Morrow, refrained from giving his opinions
upon these public conveniences and bene-
factions, but stated he favored teaching
children how to swim
When asked for an expression of opin-
ion upon public baths in the District, Com
missioner Macfarland said:
Certainly We should have pubic baths
like other cities, and the Commissioners
have been recommending them to Congress
for at least seven years. Without doubt
we shall recommend them to Congress
again at the coming session. We have pre-
sented the proposition in different forms, as
| for example. two years ago we recommend
ed public baths in a building to be related
| to the playground near the navy yard.
Other suggestions were that public baths
| should be constructed in connection with
school grounds. and also that public baths
! should be constructed in needy neighbor-
| Fairgrounds nor public schools.
| Another Suggestion.
Still another suggestion was that they
| should be connected with public comfort
