WHAT WASHINGTON NEEDS.
Mrs. Nations Reply to an Important
Conundrum

Mrs. Carrie Nation says that if The Star
should ask her what is the greatest need
of the city?' she would ask that Washing
ton needs more Carrie Nations. She de-
clares that Carries" are needed more than
policemen, and she is sure they would be
more effective for the public good She
admitted that her doubles would have to
be prepared to face charges of diSorderly
conduct and have on hand some ready cash
to pay fines or have kind friends with the
necessary amounts, but such women as
herself, she claims, who would be willing
to sacrifice their lives and liberty to spend
their lives in a determined effort to wipe
out the saloons and cure cigarette smokers
of their habits. and occasionally pay visits
to the workhOuse, would be a blessing.
Mrs. Nation says there Is an awful lot
of work in her line to be done in Washing
tjn and she regrets that she has not
number of women of her own caliber and
fcarlessness to help her. She says she has
rev6r been disorde~ly on the streets al
though charges to that effect have been
bought against her, and that she has re-
solved never TO pay another fine, and viii
serve out her sentences in the event OF
her being arrested in the future She de-
cl.tTes every arrest will be a vindcation of
her cause. She SCOTS at the idea of giving
her personal Eond to keep the peace.

at Y M, G., A. Building.

None but favorable comments have been
heard relative to the opening of the library
station at the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation building on G street This depart
ure seems to have met with the approba-
ton of the public generally. 1t goes with

the members of the association appreciate
the benefit that will accrue to them in fav-
ing the library close at hand.

the Y. NJ. c. A. department of education.
1t is located in the east alcove of the
handsome lobby of the association building
it is well lighted, has large commodious
chairs and settees and is perfectly clean
The station Is to be conducted exactly is Is
the Public Library, with the exception that
children will not be served, there being
no books on the shelves for them nor any
place for their accommodation. Books of
all kinds and descriptions have been placed
there, however, so that any taste can be
satisfied, with the exception stated above.
One of the regular attendants of the Pub

Anniversary CELEBRATION
Northeast Association to Have a Spe-
cial Program

Members of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association will celebrate its If
teenth anniversary next month. President
Tucker has appointed a committee, COM
posed of William ]. Frizzell, DIR. L. d. Wal
tiers, DR.. Starr Parsons, w. @. Lang and
A. H. F. Holster, to arrange program,
the committee having been appointed at a
meeting of the executive committee Of the
association held Friday night at the res
idence of President Tucker, 100 A street
northeast.
Among the questions to be considered at
the anniversary meeting will be the rec
lamation of the Anacostia fats regarded
as of more Importance to the people of the
northeast section than any other improve
ment that Is in contemplation
Me mbers of the committee at the recent
meeting commented upon the interview with
Warden Harris of the District JAIL which
was printed In The Star, upon the question
of providing a penitentiary or reforma tory
for the District. 1t was agreed unanimously
that the present Jail should be removed, and
the members favor the erection of another
prison. Mr.. Frizzell suggested that such in
shtution should be called a reforma tory
and not a penitentiary, the trend of senti-
ment being along the lines of reform. The
question of a location for such an institu-
ton was discussed the sentiment of the
committee being in favor of erecting 1t in
the county between the Government Hos
pital for the Insane and the almshouse.
Another interesting question that is to be
discussed at the October meeting of the as
ISOLATION is that relating to a crosstown
electric line. Those present at the meeting
spoke favorably of the proposition to ex-
tend the line of the Capital Traction Com
pany along Sth street northeast from Penn
sylvania avenue to Florida avenue, the line
to be run along the latter thoroughfare to
18th street west. President Dunlop, it was
stated, is willing and anxious to build the
road. The members of the association ex-
pect to present memorial to Congress
praying that the Capital Traction Company
be given permission to do the work.
The closing of the shallow wells of the
city was declared by Mr.. Holster to be the
greatest outrage that has been perpetrated
upon the poor people of the city, and he
thought the association should take some
action to secure their restoration. He said
he would call the question to the attention
of the association and ask that Congress be
called upon for appropriation for deep
wells
The condition of some of the asphalt
streets in the northeast section of the city,
the removal of the railroad tracks and
school affairs are also to be considered.
Chairman Foster of the school committee
promised report at the next meeting.

STILL SEEKING KEMP.
New Circular May Be Issued in Hope
of Hurryinr Capture,

OF durTy1nS capture.
Many Westinghouse seem to think that
the police are not making much of an eff
fort to capture James Arthur Kemp, for
mer chief clerk in the police department,
who disappeared from his desk July 3,
leaving a shortage of several thousand
dollars. Persons who are in a position
to know, however. understand that Maj.
Sylvester and Inspector Boardman are
making great efforts to find the fugitive
Circulars have been sent to every part of
the world. Not since the case of Frank
Funk. who was captured at Columbia Mo-,
brought back here and executed, have the
police taken such extraordinary steps.
While perhaps a majority of the members
Of the police force think Kemp has left this
country there are others who think he is
in disguise and working at a telegraph in
strument in New York or somewhere in the
United States.
What is there to prevent him from
Disgusting himself and remaining just
where he thinks not much of a search will
be made for him. was the question asked
last night. He was a good telegrapher
and an expert stenographer and type
writer, and he would have no trouble in
getting a situation"
Inspector Boardman is becoming i'm
patient over the delay in experimenting
Kemp. and, it is said, he is considering the
advisability of issuing another circular,
more attractive than those already issued.
The money for which Kemp was bonded
who succeeded him, and the latter is paying
off those whose money was taken by Kemp
and spent upon women and horses. Sew
eral of those who were robbed were per-
sons who had been arrested as insane and
several of them, 1t is said, have recovered
and appeared at police headquarters to
demand their money. Their claims are be-
ing settled as fast as they are presented.

the Masonic Temple Initiative.

In this jurisdiction. As matter of fact
1t makes very little difference but we
might better be correct than otherwise
The record follows:

"OPEN SHOP ESTABLISHED"
DECLARATION MADE BY EN-
PLoYERs' ASSOCIATION.
Instances of Union and Non-Union
Men Working Together Cited
in Statement

The union labor leaders are straining
every effort to re-estabish the closed shop
in Washington
The foregoing is the opening paragraph
OF statement issued last night by an
ofncer of the Employers Association. Then
II is asserted that the union leaders are
employing every method to regain control
OF the situation which they have lost. Their
international officers have been here con-
centrating their efforts for the last strug-
gle before giving up.
The open shop is here to stay" con-
tinues the statement The number of firms
now operating on the open shop plan Is 1871
a gain of IL in the past two weeks. The
growth of the movement for the open
shop has been strong and steady and the
open shop sentiment is increasing. We
are receiving many encouraging letters
from owners, investors and architects. who
now know that open shop builders can
and do execute their contracts on time
without fear OF strikes or hold-ups.
The unions went into this struggle with
the closed shop cry and universal union
cards on every job. That they are abandon
Ing their position is shown every day
Since the famous exception made on the
municipal building. where the labor unions
officially acknowledged the open shop pol
Icy by allowing non-union plumbers to go
on the job, exceptions have been multi
union bricklayers are backing up stone
cut and set by the Miller opp Company,
an open shop concern. on Mr.. Millions job,
at 4th and Randolph streets northeast,
where non-union brickayers, carpenters
plumbers, painters and galvanized workers
are at work. stone Is being furnished that
was cut by union men, some even being
done by the stonecutters who were pulled
from the Miller-kopp work.
Open Shop Conditions.
1T has been questioned whether Mr.
Freund the plumber, was employing union
men. Whether he is not, he is working
under open shop conditions upon Mr. Mil
ler's job at Petworth for his men are work
ing side by side with non-union plasterers
carpenters, painters and other craftsmen.
On Monroe street non-union bricklayers
are laying brick, while all the other trades
are union At 18th and Grard streets non
union bricklayers and union carpenters
plasterers and others are at work together,
and there are numerous other jobs going
on under the same conditions.
"Of course, do not expect the labor
unions to admit publicly that they have
lost control of the situation, and that the
open shop is firmly established in the Dis
trict. To do this would mean that a hun
dred or more pckets and large number
Of walking delegates would be compelled to
go to work, and earn the money they are
now receiving for doing nothing"
