The Washington herald., 1911-08-10

The persistent efforts made by The
Washington Herald to obtain faif treat
ment for all of the citizens OF the Dis
trict by the public carriers were crowned
with success yesterday when an agree
ment was reached between the Western
Union and the Postal Telegraph COM
panies and Charles f. Burr. president of
the Anacostia Citizens Association, re-
garding the delivery of telegraph mes
sages in that part of the city.
BY this agreement, the telegram COM
panies agree to deliver messages free to
all citizens Of the District who live within
radius of three miles from the offices.
For the first third of a mile beyond this
distance a charge of 10 cents is to be
made, and for each ado MI third OF a
mile a charge of cen The effect of
this, measured in money, is that instead
Of every message costing p cents extra to
any point in Anacostia, the fee will be
not less than 10 cents nor more than 20
cents to the most remote part of that
section.
Victory for Anacostia.
But the great victory that The
Washington Herald has won for the
Burr last night, lis the removal of
the stigma of discrimination that rest
ed upon us. Formerly we paid .
cents because we lived in Anacostia.
Now We pay from 10 to 30 cents be-
cause we live beyond the three-mile
limit from the telegraph office Every
one in the District who lives beyond
that limit pays the same as we do;
and We are content to have this equi-
table arrangement made and to abide
by it.
Il have no hesitation is saying that
we would never have won this point
had it not been for the support that
We have received from The Washing
ton Herald. Now, we are waiting for
the result OF our negotiations with the
express companies and the transfer
companies. We are confident that
within a few days we will have seen
the last Of the dumping of our trunks
at the northern end of the bridge and
the leaving of the express packages
at stores to be gotten home as we
best can.
Concession Made Willingly.
The concession made so willingly
and promptly by the telegraph compa-
MES makes it plain that our conten-
tion is a just one, and that the dis
elimination practiced by the other
public services will be stopped within
a very few days. A principle has been
established and has been recognized
by the telegraph companies. Now the
other services cannot consistently dis
pute the precedent that has been set.
There is more satisfaction in the
recognition of our rights as citizens
of the District than there is in the
saving of extra fees, considerable as
that will be, apd the members Of the
association feel deeply indebted to
The Washington Herald for the great
part it has played in the winning of
this victory"

Trips by Sen.

The all-water trips to New York and
Boston are proving very popular this
summer to washingtonians. The novelty
is added to these trips by the sailing or

the Old Dominion and Merchants and
Miners lines plying between Norfolk and
New York and Boston are modern ocean

Crowds at Chevy Chase Lake.

The open-air concerts at Chevy Chase
Lake are features whose popularity never
appears to diminish. The music shell
housing the players from the Marine
Band is surrounded every evening by en-
thusiastic crowds, many of whom make
a point of being out at 'the lake" several
evenings each week. Programmes are
arranged anew for every performance,
that on Sunday night always occupying
a longer time than on week nights. when
the band supplies music for dancing.
The latter begins few minutes after
9 and continues until the closing hour.
At the motion picture theater new reels
are shown every night. this feature and
the swings being especially popular with
the Juvenile element. The bowling alley
and shooting gallery attract their devo-
tees nightly. The artistic illuminations at
Chevy Chase Lake always command COM
pliments from patrons, and are well
worth the ride out to the lake to see.

Victory for The Herald.

The Washington Herald took
up the injustice and unfairness
of the discrimination that the
public service corporations were
practicing on the residents of
remote sections, and through its
efforts the matter was carried to

the Western Union and the
Postal Telegraph companies have
rearranged their schedules so
as to treat all Of the people of
the District fairly. Negotiations
pending with other public utili-
ties point to satisfactory adjust
ment.
