AN INVESTIGATION
Members of First Cooperative
Builders Association File Suit
for Adjustment.

Suit for the purpose Of adjusting the
affairs of the First Cooperative Build
ing Association, Of Georgetown, was
fled Ia the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict today by a number OF the stock
holders who declared that the assO-
citation is insolvent, and that the officers
have borrowed large sums of money
with which to pay of certain other
stockholders who have withdrawn from
the association.
In the bill in equity filed To-Day by
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert, Burton
Macafee, and r. H Yeatman, it is al
legged that a general distrust seems TO
have seized these members causing a
run on the assets which the association
has been unable TO meet 1t is further
stated that the association has not
maintained any equitable system OF
payments. and that at the meeting oS
abe company, held on Thursday, no
definite system to meet this condition

A similar proceeding was filed by
Margaret KOpp and others a month ago
but the claims were subsequently settled
by the association. and the suit was

White House JubiLaIlt
Oper Chicago Reports

There was great jubilatiOn at the
White House today. as a result OF the
eminently satisfactory information re-
ceived from Chicago regarding the Taft
victory In the fight for contested dele
gates. Secretary Tat was at the Execu-
tive offices early, AID Joined Secretary
Metcaf and Senator Carter. Borah, and
Warren. When the President arrived
he greeted the Secretary OF War enthu-
sIastically, and the party then entered
into an animated discussion of the sit
uation at Chicago. Secretary Taft was
so happy that, Sc one Of his friends re-
marked, he forgot for the moment the
criticisms which have been pouring in
on him since his utterances on the oc-
casion Of the Memorial Day exercises Ut

The Administration exporters were
all in a happy frame g mind, as they
left the White House.

WASHINGTON COUPLE
KILLED IN WRECK
MIR. and Mrs. Greene Die In
Ball Clothes on Way to
Annapolis Ball.

Mr.. and Mrs. George W. Greene, OF
1886 oregon avenue northwest, are dead.
victims of the Annapolis wreck.
Yesterday afternoon a young couple,
the man wearing evening dress and the
woman, beautiful in a gown meant for
the, ballroom at Annapolis, walked
down the steps leading to the front
door Of the house numbered 1886 on
Oregon avenue northwest
The woman was laughing at some
thing the man had said, and the last
the neighbOrs saw OF them was her
smile as he helped her TO board the
street car that was TO take them event
ually 10 the ill-fated car on the electric
road leading to Annapolis.
Today the house is locked up. as its
occupants left II when they started out
for a god time at the commencement
exercises Of the midshipmen. On the
front steps are the bottles OF milk which
were left there this morning before the
sun rose. To the door bell there is no
answer and the telephone call brings no
response.
The neighbOrs Of the young couple.
who lived in that vicinity only a short
time, said this afternoon:
"No one has been 10 he house, none
OF their friends. none OF their relatives.
We saw them go yesterday afternoon.
We had often been struck by the
vivacity and beauty OF the young wife.
and we had all taken an interest In
them because they were so evidently
devoted couple. They had no children.
There can be no doubt that they
were killed IN the wreck. He wore
evening dress and she a ball gown when
they passed here yesterday afternoon.
And since their names have been teie-
graphd to The Times Office II seems
certain that they were the Inflated
couple"
Without warning. the two were hurled
into eternity and almost twenty-four
hours have elapsed without any one
appearing at the house in which they
had spent part OF their happy life.

ORDER VIOLATION
SAYS SHANNAHAN
Vice President of W., B. & A. Rv.
Issues Statement After In
vestigation of Accident.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June 6.-J. n.
Shannahan, vice president and general
manager of the Washington, Baltimore
and Annapolis railroad, last night went
10 the scene Of the accident, near Camp
Parole, and after doing everything pos
sible to relieve the suffering OF those
injured. spent the balance Of the night
making rigid investigation as TO the
cause Of the accident. On his return this
morning he issued the following state
meut,
a careful investigation as to the
cause of the accident near Camp Parole
last night has been made by the officials
Of this company. The investigation
shows clearly that the accident was due
to a simple violation Of a written order
which amply provided for the safe run
ming Of these cars. The ARRANGEMENTS
for the handling Of trains on this d.
vision Of our road are precisely identi-
cal with the system which is in use
on practically 70 per cent of the
railway mileage IN this country. and
which have been adopted as a result Of
long years OF experience. Every svs-
tenn, however. is of course based lipon
obedience to orders by the operators
and II does not seem possible TO devise
a system which will fully provide
against such a violation or orders as
IN this case. It is just another case
which proves the falllbility of the
human agency in the operation of a
railroad.
The owners of the property have
spent several million dollars in building
the highest type OF interurNan railway
now in operation in this country. haV-
ing eliminated all grade CROSSINGS
where most accidents occur, and in
every way have sought u safeguard
the travelling public We have endeav-
ored 10 give the best possible service
to the patrons Of the road and have
felt highly gratified by the results thus
far attained -

four men and injuring ten.
After communicating with the first
division. United States Pacific fleet, and
receiving additional dressing for the

room the call fer fire vas sounded and
all the crew went 10 their stations in
