REORGANIZATION Is PLANNED.
AntiSaloon League to Become
Branch Of National Organization.

The Anti-Saloon League of the District
o. Columbia is to be reorganized so that
1t will be operated like a state branch of
the national organization.
This plan was decided upon at a special
meeting of the league held last night. 1t
means that the present society will go out
of existence within short time and will
be succeeded by a new organization with
the same objects, but operated as
branch of the national league.
The resolution adopted at the meeting
provides that a committee of three be ap-
pointed from the Washington league to
confer with officers of the national league
to effect reorganization after the plan in
the states and that when the new or
ganization is effected the old organizati ton
shall cease to exist.
Under the proposed plan the District
branch will be controlled by board of
trustees composed of representatives OF
religious denominations.
The committee appointed to carry out
the project is composed Of Rev. Donald
c. Macleod, president of the league; A.
Z. Shoemaker, its attorney. and Rev. G.
z. Guthrie, pastor of Hamline NJ. E.
Church.

POTOMAC PARK IMPROVED.
Grass Grows on High Ground Form
erly Below Surrounding Grade.

Col. Cromwell. superintendent of public
buildings and grounds, who has Potomac
Park improvements in charge. has recent
ly had the big oval between the tracks Of
the Washington. Alexandria and Mount
Vernon railway and the tidal basin plowed
up and sown with grass seed. Now a
fine crop of new grass covers the entire
area.
This oval. when the park was first laid
out. was considerably lower than the sur
rounding portions of the park. In winter
it became a regular mire of soft mud from
water that collected in it from melting
SHOWS and the rain.
When the tidal basin was dredged out
a large quantity of the excavated ma
terial was pumped upon the oval It's
level was raised a little above that OF the
surrounding land.
This will make it dry in all weathers
and an ideal playground for the children
of Washington, for which purpose it is to
be used
The plans Of the park Improvement call
for base ball and foot ball grounds, ten
mis- courts and provisions for other out
door sports in this part Of the park. 1t
may be year or two before this work
can be done.

NO WILD DUCKS HERE.
Hunters Have No Hopes of Game
Until Cold Weather.

The recent cold wave from the north
west, according to the duck hunters. did
not last loDg enough to bring wild ducks
to the Potomac. Hunters are not looking
for birds until cool weather comes to
stay.
Some few ducks have been seen on
the river in the vicinity of this city. They
had no sooner appeared than hunters
were after them in numbers. The birds
were driven away before they had an
opportunity to get a good square meal
on their feeding grounds on the Potomac
flats and marshes about this city.
Last year a favorte feeding ground
was in the wild oats and other grasses
growing in the vicinity of Shepherds
Landing. on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. opposite Alexandria. Unfortunately
for the hunters. this patch of wild oats
is forbidden grounds for hunting.
Last year the harbor police made sew
eral arrests of persons found hunting
in the marsh. The hunters in most in
stances were violating the law unwit-
tingly.
The harbor police officials expect to
watch this spot closely during the COM
ing season.

Coroner to Investigate Death o
Lucian G. O'Connor.

Coroner hewitt will hold an inquest at
the morgue tomorrow morning at IL
o'clock in connection with the death Of
Lucian G. O'Connor. Who was a foreman
for the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone Company. OConnor was working
on a pole near 18th and Garfield streets,
Anacostia. yesterday afternoon. when he
fell and sustained a severe injury to his
head. The patient was hurried to the
Casualty Hospital but death occurred be-
fore the surgeons could perform an
operation to relieve the pressure on the
brain.
1t Is stated that OConnor fell a dis
tance of about twenty feet. The sug-
gestion was made that ne may have come
in contact with an electric light wire. but
the autopsy failed to disclose any evil
dence of shock. AS soon as the members
of the coroner's jury are impaneled and
view the body it will be turned over to
the family for burial. 1t is probable that
the funeral will take place Monday morn
ing from the late home of the deceased,
1919 9th street.

MACHINE OPERATOR IS TITLE
NEW DESIGNATION FOR G. p. O..
TYPESETTERS.
Ability May Yet Be Qualification for
Increased Pay il Public Printer
Has His Way.

Typesetting machine operators in the
government printing office appointed since
the new examinations of the civil service
commission became effective were notified
yesterday evening that they would here
after be designated as machine operators.
at a compensation of 60 cents per hour.
The rate of pay for operators has been
in force since the first of the month and
includes the large force Of compositors
who have been handling machines since
installation several years ago.
On the time slips and pay rolls these
employees have been carried as "operat-
ors," although graded as "compositors'
by the civil service commission. Hereaf-
ter they will be carried on the office rolls
at their true rating. but will draw in
creased pay when detailed to machine.
Public Printer Leech has under consid-
Grafton a plan for changing the rating of
compositors who have demonstrated their
ability to handle a typesetting machine.
The civil service commission would &C
cept an official statement of efficiency In
lieu Of an examination. This will prob
ably be the procedure.
Whatever Is done in the matter will be
carried forward in the interest of every
employe who has demonstrated capacity
for the work and will not require individ-
ual initiative.
The last copy for the annual report of
the chief of engineers was placed in the
hands Of the printers yesterday afternoon.
Officials of the office are pleased with the
progress made with this job. which is

ing to the proposition of 1.-The Corpora
lions Auxiliary Company of the Cham
Der of Commerce building. Cleveland,
o." to furnish a complete report of the
entire proceedings of the convention. in
Guiding secret sessions of the Fedora
ton of Labor to be held in Denver in

Complete Report Offered.
LAS usual we expect to have several
delegates present and will be in position
to furnish you, as the convention pro-
ceeds with a complete report of the en-
tire proceedings, including secret ses-
sions. In view of the fact that the A.
F. of L. made demands this year upon

mating conventions and Is actively enter
ing into politics. and has put into the
field an increased force of secret organ
iZerS, covering almost every branch OF

In his letter to D. A. Reynolds Mr.
Gornpers says: For the past few years
about the LIST of October. the Corpora
lions Auxiliary Company has sent out a
letter similar in character to the one you
sent me. 1t might not be amiss to call
your attention to the fact that the con-
ventions of the American Federation OF

facilities are always provided for the
press representatives; that a number OF
the. large city daily papers have repre-
sentatives regularly in attendance at the
conventions. and that the printed official
proceedings of each days session are
given to any one who care to have them"

POLITICAL APATHY IN OHIO.
Cleveland Registration This Year
Shows a Notable Falling Off,

CLEVELAND. Ohio. October 9.-The
second days registration in Cleveland
shows much apathy. Approximately the
number was 23.54O. making a grand to-
tai for the first two days of this year of
At. 1888. The total registr ration for the
first two days last year was IS, 391. The
registration on the second day last year
was 3O.941. Two days yet remain in
which voters have the right to register.
Politicians say that no effort was made
to get out registration and that the low
figures on the first two days merely
mean that it will be heavy next Friday
and Saturday But the election officials
assert this morning that the entire total
this year will not run over IS. 600 or 49,
600. The grand total two years ago was
03, 32l, and In 1904 1t was $3.50.
