some strange happenings in the Ward

TRUNKS DISAPPEAR
FROM THE DEPOT
WERE LEFT THERE BY VISITING
YOUNG LADIES AND WERE
CLAIMED BY STRANGER.

The mysterious disappearance o
two trunks, the property of the Mise,
McCarty, sisters of r. S. McCarty, O
this city, has aroused the local rail
road officials to unusual activity, but
has not so far resulted in the discovery
of their whereabouts.
The trunks were carried to the I'm
ion station and left in the waiting
room. 1t was the intention of their
owners to take the next train, and
they thought the trunks would be safe
until they could be checked. Howev-
er, they concluded later not to take
the next train, and as consequence
the trunks were left at the station for
some hours unchecked.
When the Misses McCarty arrived
at the station and called for their
trunks, with the intention of checking
them, they found to their dismay that
they were gone. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the trunks had
been claimed by stranger, and had
been checked through as his property
to Birmingham. The wires were
worked, but the trunks were not
'ound.
The Misses McCarty had been Wis
ting relatives here, and were en-
cute to Birmingham, Alabama, 10
'isit a sister. The trunks contained
heir winter wardrobes, and were very

HOME FROM LONG TOUR.
Secretary Shipp Tells Of Interest in
Conservation.

The secretary Of the conservation COM
mission. Thomas R. Ship, has just re-
turned to this city after a tour from Bos-
ton to San Francisco and return. He
says that the general principle of con-
servation has been accepted by forty-two
states and fifty-one conservation commits
sions. THE states which l visited he
explained. ARE deeply interested in con-
servation work, both locally and national
ly. They are standing by their state con-
servation commissions and the epoch fol-
the specific application of conservation
principles will have their heartiest sup
port.
He says that of course there are num-
Der of powerful interests. principally the
lumber and water-power companies. which
are opposed TO the application of con-
servation principles, but in all the states
visited. If the issue should be left to a
popular vote, conservation would win BY
an overwhelming majority.
The commissions OF the several states
visited are making a study of the subjec,
of conservation applied to water power
and are getting ready for good work In
this connection.

REClA|MING ANACOSTIA FLATS
NORTHEAST CITIZENS HOPEFUL
OF NEAR RESULTS.
President Tucker Enthusiastic Over
Prospect of Early Action by
Congress-United Campaign.

Evan H. Tucker. president of the North.
east Washington Citizens Association, is
enthusiastic over the future as regards
the Anacostia flats. He thinks if all the
associations In the eastern section of the
city would get together and unite upor
some definite plan in connection with the
proposed improvement good results would
follow
United action on part of the people is
what is necessary to secure results" Mr.
tucker said today. THE reclamation OF
the flats is the paramount question to
come before the associations of the east
ern section this winter, and strenuous
efforts will be made to get a substantial
appropriation for the work at the ap-
preaching session of Congress-
Congress has made several appropria-
lions for the improvement of the river
from its mouth to the Anacostia bridge
Mr. Tucker continued. Surveys have
been made as far the District line. and
recently an appropriation was made for
the examination of titles to land bordering
on the river. AS soon as the report OF
counsel in charge of the examination OF
title is made there is no reason why ap.
propriatiOn to acquire the necessary land
and proceed with the improvements should
not be made
Jail and Workhouse.
Another question of vast Importance is
that involving the removal of the jail
and workhouse and other undesirable
buildings from reservation 49, said Mr.
Tucker. and the people will not be sat
istied until they are removed and the
reservation converted into park.
1T Is likely" he added, that the as
ISOLATION this winter will continue its eff
forts to get an appropriation for the
purchase of the Graceland cemetery prop
erty, the esta Enlistment of proper high
school facilities for the eastern section
and the removal of the property yard
from square S57. 1t is also proba BILE. that
the association will continue it's work
relative to the local gas supply"
