STRONG PROTEST
AGAINST REMOVAL
Venerable North Texas Preacher Says
Southwestern Must Stay at
Georgetown.

In the debate at Wichita Falls,
Texas, on the proposed formation of
an educational commission by the
Methodist conferences of Texas, Rev.
Mr.. Binkley said:
81 am the only living member of the
board or commission that located
Southwestern university at George.
town. In doing so we made for the
church a solemn contract that South
western should be the great central
university of our Texas conferences,
and that it should forever be located
at Georgetown. Georgetown has met
every obligation demanded Of ii.
Georgetown has local option and an
abundance of water in the Gabriel to
water every Methodist west of the
Mississippi, while Dallas has brothels
and saloons and would have to water
them with water mixed with drugs.
We once had female college at Dal-
las. and the people there let 1t be sac
rificed for the want of $4,000. Peter
son thinks Dallas is the center of the
sun, moon and stars. think it is the
center of devilment. Offer Dallas the
university and local option or the open
saloon and see which she will take.
We made our contract with George
town in good faith. Young men, be
careful how you put strings to your
moral consciences! l would not be
willing to see the church violate its
moral obligation for s450,000 000l"

NO COASTING IN TAKOMA PARK.
Appeal for Privilege to Use Blind
Street Denied.

The youngsters of Takoma Park. Md,
have been denied by the town fathers
the privilege of coasting on Holly avenue.
and will be so advised by Town Clerk
Ben G. Davis today.
This action was taken at meeting of
the council last night, when a petition
signed by thirty-nine residents of this
avenue, or. in the language of the COM
munication, ''S7 per cent of the people
on this street, was presented, request
ing that they be allowed to coast on
Holly avenue extended, northwestward of
the intersection of Tulip avenue It was
explained in the petition that it is prac-
tically a blind street" and pedestrians
traversing it are for the most part resi-
dents of this street.
The letter further stated that the hills
or grad on this portion of the street are
short gradual slopes, and the danger to
the children i'm their use for coasting is
practically none.
The members of the council called at
tention to the ordinance on the subject
which prohibits coasting Of any charac-
ter. The ordinance was adopted several
months ago as result of a general COM
plant against coasting on the pavements
of the town.
After elaboration the council arrived
at the conclusion that it would not be
consistent to make a concession in this
instance. The petition was dismissed and
the town clerk requested to notify the
petitioners.

REPRESENTATIVES TO HOLD
AN INDIGNATION MEETING
Angry Because Secretary MacVeagh
Omitted Estimates for Construc-
ton Of Public Buildings.

meeting Of those members of the
House of Representatives who are red
hot as a result Of Secretary MacVeagh's
failure to include in his annual estimate
between twenty and thirty million dol
lars authorized at the last session of
Congress for the construction of public
buildings will be held in the House
Office building the latter part Of this
week.
We've got to do something" said
Representative Rodenberg Of Illinois,
one Of the indignant ones, today.
When his attention was called to the
fact that Secretary MacVeagh was ap-
parently standing pat and that Chair
man Tawney Of the appropriations
committee declined to sanction the
expenditure of a dollar for public
buildings unless the Secretary changed
his mind and submitted the necessary
estimate, MIR. Rodenberg remarked
that he thought Tawney would bow
to the will of a majority Of the
House"
One of the complaints is that Secretary
MacVeagh includes in his estimates enc
million dollars for the new city post Of
fice here in Washington, although, they
insist. it will be impossible to spend a
fraction Of that money during the next
fiscal year.
