that he has little hereditary right to his

BOYS BLAMED FOR FIRES

One Tells How His Brother, Five
Years Old, Started Blaze in
Which Infant Burned.

NORFOLK, Va. November 20.-Three

are under arrest here charged with being
frebugs, and from their partial confess
sions they are known to have been con-
cerned in starting fires which have de-
stroyed property valued at thousands of
dollars, in which one life was lost. The
police believe that they and perhaps ac
completes are responsible for the numer-
Gus fires which have alarmed the city
since month ago.
The boys under arrest are Doc Baum,
son of Mrs. Rosa Baum; Samuel Epstein,
son of Morris Epstein, and Herman Ad-
Olson, son of Thomas Addison
Samuel Epstein, six years old, uncon-
cernediy told Capt. Ford and Fire Chief
Mclaughlin of the starting of a fire at
Washington street and Monticello avenue
October 10 and 70 by his brother Teddy
five years old, which resulted in the death
of an infant and destroyed a half dozen
buildings, with contents, valued al $34, $50
Addison and Epstein admitted that they
were present when match was touched
to a bundle of paper in the rear of the
commission house. Baum also admitted
to having been present at the starting Of
one of the fires, but each of the boys
in his confession has implicated the otn-
ers in other efforts to start nres. some of
which resulted disastrously. The boys
were arrested yesterday evening, imme-
diately following an attempt to burn Il
saloon at Cumberland and Washington
streets.
Outbreaks of fire occurred here with
alarming frequency for about ten days.
The police are convinced the children are
to blame for all.

Capt. Potter's Resolution.

The resolution prepared by Capt Potter
was shown a number of members of the
association, especially those who favored
the position he had taken. and it seemed
to meet with their approval. 1t reads:
Whereas 1t is one of the basic prin-
ciples upon which the Declaration of In
dependence was conceived. the ConStitu-
ton of the United States of America
written and adopted, that every citizen
of the United States shall enjoy equal
rights under a republican form of gov
eminent; and
Whereas the states and territories are
guaranteed the right to choose their rep
representatives in the councils of the ma
ton by the only true American method,
10 wit, the ballot; therefore, it is
Resolved. That it is the sense of the
members OF the East Washington Citi-
zens' Association that the present form
of government in the District of Column
bia is not i'm consonance with the prin
ciples of government contemplated by
the founders of the American republic:
THAT the East Washington Citizens
Association join with the other associa
lions of citizens of the District of Column
bia in asking Congress to enact such
legislation as shall obtain for the Citi-
zens OF the District of Columbia the
right of suffrage;
That we condemn the present form
of government by three commissioners,
and believe that the divided responsibility
of the administration of affairs OF the
District has retarded the transaction of
the business OF the said District, to the
detriment of the public. and we. there
fore feel warranted in asking for
change from the present form of govern
ment TO one having governor, to be
elected by the voters of the District of
Columbia
THAT every male citizen who has re-
sided in the said District for at least
one year who is a native-born citizen of

years of age and who is able to read
and write the English language, shall
have the right to vote for any and all
