WANT CROSS-ToWN LINE.
Southeast Citizens Forced to Walk
Ten Blocks.

Unless the Capital Traction Company
agrees to run a cross-town line from
Eighth street southeast to Seventh
street southwest an effort will be made
to induce outside capital to establish
street carl Line for the benefit of the
residents of the southeast. These senti-
ments were expressed last night at
meeting of the Southeast Washington
Citizens Association, held in Donohue's
Hall, 314 Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
A. G. Hermann, president of the as
sociation, said residents now have to
walk ten or more blocks to get a street
car. It voted to ask the Capital Trac-
ton Company how they stood on the
matter, and if the company could not
guarantee an immediate relief to interest
outside capital
On the motion of Lemuel Fugitt, the
association reaffirmed its stand in favor
of universal transfers. President Parker,
Of the East Washington Citizens Asso-
citation. was a guest of the association.
He bitterly denounced the Commission

The following officers were reelected
for the ensuing year: A. G1 Hermann,
president; H. c. Emerich, D. P. Ryon,
and Andrew Johnson. Jr., vice presi-
dents; L. r. Brook, secretary; r. H.
Bagly, treasurer, and Louis Rosenberg.

elected delegate to the Federation of

BIRTH OF FRIENDSHIP

Through the examination of Michael
J. Keane, general counsel for the Alb
ner-Drury Brewing Company, Mr. Ho-
gan, attorney for Samuel T. Kalbfus,
member of the excise board, attempted
to show yesterday afternoon, at the
hearing by the District Commissioners
to investigate the charges preferred by
F. Oden Horstmann, former saloon in
spector, against Mr. Kalbfus, that Kalb-
fus is no more deserving OF criticism
because some of his friends appear be-
fore the excise board than are justices

ing cases pleaded by their friends Mr.
Hogan took up the name of each JUS
tice separately, and Mr. Keane at once

said, are required frequently to appear

He is a man of the highest integrity.
No one questions his uprightness and
ability"
.Is il not true" continued Mr.. Hogan,
that the best friend Of Justice Gould

.'Of course" answered Mr.. Keane. THE
same is true of all Of the justices.

Clenbsne is a great friend Of Justice

Then Mr.. Hogan questioned Mr.. Keane
respecting the other justices, ana in
each case the witness testified that the
best friends of the jurists frequently ap-
pear before them in various cases.
.,Did you ever hear any comment about
this?'' asked Mr.. Hogan.
Never"
"And is there anything in the ethics Of
YOUR profession which would prevent
you from appearing before the excise |
board, notwithstanding the fact that
Kalbfus is a close friend Of yours?"
Absolutely nothing" replied Mr..
Keane.
Mr.. Hogan seemed much pleased over
the responses Of the witness.

A TOAST: THE QUEEN,

I have read in the books, and Ite
seen on the stage
Many women of every degree,
But somehow or other there's only
one type
That is really appealing 10 me.
She is not the proud queen Of the
puppets that kneel
AT the foot of make believe
throne
She's the woman who reisns without
Sceptre or crown
In kingdom that's wholly her
own.
She wears en- her head, in the morn
ing a cloth
To keep out the dust as she sweeps.
She raises her hand with a whispered
command
To be still, for the little boy sleeps
She pours out the tea with a hand
that's as soft
AS the tint of a delicate rose
And she smiles with content when l
give her a kiss
On the tip of her dear little nose
When company comes-Lord. tha
things she can do,
Why. the table fair shriells with de-
light,
The things she can bake and the stuff
She can make
Put all our dyspepSiaS TO flight
And the way she presidcs at the head
of the board
Is too indescribably sweet
She is tickled to death when the din
ner goes right,
For she loves to see company eat,
Go, take all your queens of the stories
and stage
Your DANES who've made history
ring!
Tis not Of the proud, of the mighty
and great.
OF the woman of state I would
sing!
l m twanging my Tyre to one VINO
ranks higher
Than all who have played the great
part
In history's changes: / toast her. my
friend:
Drink the Queen Of the Family
Heart!

large well-equipped brick buildings, one

two large wooden dormitories, one for
boys and one for girls-both now flied
to overfowing: and another good wooden
building also used for recitation rooms.
Il was much pleased at the economical
administration Of the institution. 1t is
hard to understand how they have man
aged to get such excellent buildings for
so little money. They made their own
brick and had the buildings erected un-
der their own supervision instead OF
building them by contract They have
managed to keep board for the students
down to S6 month. Some Of the stu
dents are renting rooms and doing their

How Indians Are Named.
(BOston AdvertiSer.)

fBoston AdvertiSer.)
Relief is shown by those who love the
picturesque in Indian names that these are
still found to the fore with old time weird
ness in nearly all cases where Indian
nomenclature figures in public prints.
There some new men the Carlisle
Indian football teams and some of the
new Indian pigskin warriors are She Bear,
Big Bear, Wounded Eye, and Long Roach.
Recently a long list of Indian names
published at the Shoshone Indian reser
vation disclosed that there exist among
them Dirty Face, Touch on the Ground
One Toe Gone, Mrs. Silk Underwear, Mrs
Shakespeare. and on.
1t is general assumption that the In
dans are themselves responsible for these
names, whereas matter of fact the
names given them by white officers
on the reservation.
1t is not always easy to ascertain what
the Indian is called in his own language
and especially SO when a recording clerk
is in a hurry SO he puts down Indian
names by an idea that comes to his mine
and usually from some characteristic con
spiciousness in the Indian in mind, and
the more absurd the characteristic the
more available it seems. And the Indian
is absolutely content. He has no sense
of humor anyway and SO be goes on
living out his life under the nomenclature
the whites have provided for him.
