Alice Sculley's troubles are about over,
for the police Of Berkeley, Va. who

When she gave herself UP to the po-
lice of the Second precinct last night,
she said she had left the Virginia city
because she feared the result of charges
which she said she had brought against
a sailor there. The message from the

Expressions from citizens of Anacos-
tia today make 1t plain that the cam
paign of the Anacostia Citizens Asso-
ciation for the placing Of trolley wires
underground, and improving Nichols
avenue, will be kept up. notwithstand-
ing unfavorable reports on both projects
by the District Commissioners as trans
mitted to the association at its meeting
last evening.
The Commissioners take the position
that the abutment built at the south
end of the new Anacostia bridge has
not yet settled TO such an extent as to
justify them in directing the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company to
put its wires underground. The bill
providing for the construction Of the
bridge placed with the Commissioners
the responsibility of determining when
this fill is In a condition to receive the
underground Installation. The letter
from the Commissioners read last night,
stated that they do not think. Judging
from the reports made to their office,
that the abutment has settled sufficient
ly to order that the work may be done.
The proposition advanced by the asso-
citation to have the Commissioners in
clude an item in their forthcoming esti-
mates for grading and paving Nichols
avenue from the new bridge to Tai
burtt street, the same distance covered
by the request for underground installa-
tion, appears to be contingent upon the
completion Of this latter project, for the
association was advised by the Com

missionsrs that the paving Of the ave.
nue. between the points named should
not be undertaken, even IL authority
and funds could be secured, until such
time as the present surface tracks of
the street car company shall be con-
verted into an underground system,
which conversion is authorized by law,
but is not to be executed until the COM
missioners order II, when they are satis-
fed that the physical conditions at the
south end of the bridge shall justify
such action. 1t was added that the de-
sired conditions do not yet exist at the
bridge
The District officials promised to
make frequent observation Of the fill
from time to time.
DR.. James A. Watson expressed dis
satisfaction with the report relative to
the proposed Nichols avenue paving and
grading. Maurice Otterback advocated
going before the Commissioners with a
committee Of fifty in advocacy Of both
projects. President Charles r. Burr de-
sired that the association call upon the
Commissioners for the last two reports
cf the Engineer of Bridges concerning
the south abutment Of the bridge In
order to find out Just what amount Of
settling has been going on. This was
agreed to. Mr.. Otterback pointed out
that at least Congress ought to be asked
by the Commissioners for an approprta-
tion for the street Improvement now.
He stated 1t would probably be 1913 be-
fore the money would be available, by
which time the citizens will undoubted-

Aside from this. measles may result in

1.-The infection is often conveyed from

is perhaps the most dangerous period
for infection, although the latter erup-

"The mortality caused by measles Is
not due altogether to the disease itself,
but to certain complications generally
connected with the respiratory system.

the liability to any Of these Complica-

WOMEN Of BUREAU
Of ENGRAVING AND
PRINTING ASK AID
Unless Ralph Gives Them
Increase They Will Ap-
peal to Congress.

The woman employees Of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing will appeal
to Congress for higher wages If Direc-
tor Ralph can do nothing for them.
They will make one more plea to him.
and, that failing, they will apply to tie
men behind the bills s"-appropriations
included.
The women determined upon their
plan Of action after they had heard the
speeches and advice of their own lead
ers and of several Congressman and
labor leaders at Typographical Temple
last night. They are going to make
fight against any increases of pay for
clerks that do not benefit the women
at the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing. All the campaign for betterment or
Government clerks has SO far. they de-
clare, been directed for the beneft OF
the men.
Not Enough.
They declared that conditions at the
bureau now make it practically impos-
sible for many Of the women to live.
and that something must be done for
them.
Representative Buchanan said he b.
lieved the women were inadequately
paid, and If Congress realized they were
getting only 25 cents a day from the
Government and only $50 a day as
whole days wage, Congress would
speedily help them.
Secretary John colpoys, of the Central
Labor Union, urged the women TO keep
up the fight. He suggested that the
business committee of the union be EN-
powered TO appear before Director
Ralph and ask him to recommend to
Congress an increase of the wages of
the women. The suggestion was adopt
ed.
Favors Increase.
President Milton Smelling. Of the Gen.
trail Labor Union, said he favored in
creases of wages for all Government
employees, but thought the women of
the bureau ought TO be the first bene-
fited. He said all the money subscribed
for the clerks campaign was being used
TO further legislation which does not
affect the women in tire bureau.
A representative of the Central Labor
Union will be sent to confer with James
B. Reynolds, in New York. on the sit
uation at the bureau. Mr.. Reynolds,
who is member of the tariff board.
has hitherto taken an active interest in
the increase OF wages of governmental
employees. and II is hoped that his SYM
pathies can be enlisted with the cause
Of the women at the bureau.
