Secretary Meyer Is
Due Here for Visit

George Won L. Meyer. secretary Of
the Navy. will come to Washington to-
morrow for the first time since July.
He will confer with the officers of the
bureaus. outline some of his reform
plans. and prepare the estimates Of his
Department for the Treasury. After
this he will go back to his summer
home in Massachusetts, until about the
middle Of October or the first of Mo-
vember, when he will return to Wash
ington.
Bureau heads and others in the Navy
Department are greatly interested in
the proposed changes in the organiza-
ton OF the Navy, and the reforms
which the Secretary will propose as a
result of his inspection Of the big navy
yards of Europe. Some of the ideas of
the Secretary have been given out by
him. but the officers on duty here sus-
pect there are many more ideas which
the head of the Navy has not discussed
with anyone.
Mr.. Meyer left Washington for his
European inspection trip before Con-
gress adjourned, and spent several
weeks going through the government
and private shipbuilding plants Of
Great Britain and other European
powers.

WitkoWSki Suit for
Fines Split Dubious

Former Mayor Louis Witkowski, Of
Glen Echo, may have a hard time win
ming his suit for half Of the 1915 in fines
collected by Justice Joseph Reading for
violations of the Sunday law at Glen
Echo Park two months ago. Mr.. Wit
kowsk filed suit yesterday at Rockville.
The statutes of Maryland said
Justice Reading today, provide that an
informer may collect one-half of the
fines assessed for violation of the Sun
dav law with respect to keeping stores
and shops open on Sunday, but there
is no provision for paying an informer
with respect to violations of the law by
working on Sunday.
Not only is Mr.. Witkowski likely to
lose out because of this fact, but 1t is
doubtful If he was an informer at all
in the eyes of the law. Violations of
the Sunday law at Glen Echo Park
were notoriosuly known, and. although
the former mayor formally filed the
complaint, he may have trouble con-
vincing any one that, legally, he was
an informer.''
The mayors suit is filed against the
board Of county commissioners. He first
sought to collect directly from the COM
missioners, but his claim was turned
down.

GIRL ACCUSED OF
Staying HER KIN
FOR INSURANCE
New Orleans Miss Charged
With Death of Parents
and Sisters.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. H.
Charged with the murder of her moth
er, her father, and her two sisters,
Miss Annie Crawford, twenty-five years
old, beautiful and prominent, was ar
rested here today. The latest victim
was Elsie Crawford, aged twenty
three. sister of Annie, who died on
Saturday. A postmortem examination
showed a large quantity Of opium In
the girls stomach.
When the accused girl was taken
into custody today, she faced her ac-
cusers calmly. merely remarking. with
a smile, VERY WELL
The police declare that Elsie told
them Annie Crawford killed her parents
to get life insurance.
Elsie told the police her sister had
poisoned her father and mother. The
frightened girl told the police that she
knew she would be the next to go, be-
cause she also had a life insurance pot
icy payable to her sister at death. She
asked II there was not some way by
which the beneficiary might be changed
in order to save her life.
1t was decided to exhume the bodies
of the others OF the family after hav-
ing found enough opium in the stomach
of Elsie to kill half dozen men.
A younger surviving sister Of the al
legged murderess Is under the protection
Of the police after Elsie died. She also
declared, the police say, that she knew
Annie intended to Kill the entire family
TO obtain the insurance.
The mother, father, and two sisters
Of Annie died within period of thlr-
teen months. 1t is believed that Mr..
and Mrs. Crawford and the sister were
killed by oxalic acid.
Elsie was taken I'll last week and
taken to A hospital, where she died.

De LACY'S ED|CT ON
SKATERS SCORED BY
SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Roller Sport of Children in
Evening Upheld If
Regulated.

Sharply criticising Judge William II.
De Lacy's declaration against roller
skating in the evening by the boys and
girls, the Southeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association has gone on record as
favcring protection and regulation of
this popular sport.
Principal Allan H. Davis. of the Busi-
ness High School. introduced the reso-
luton adopted o nthe subject and led
the attack on Judge De Lacy's edict
against allowing boys and girls to skate
A. G. Hermann presided at the meet
ing last night.
This Organization should protest
against the attitude of Judge De Lacy,
OF the Juvepile Court, with references
TO roller skating" said Principal Davis.
II read in the newspapers that Judg.
De Lacy says he has ordered the police
tC arrest, IL necessary, boys and girls
found skating on the streets after dark.
Such prohibition Is unreasonable and
unnecessary. The school children of the
city have q right to the opportunity to
skate. 1t is now dark by 7 o'clock.
The early evening is the time for the
children to study, and just before bed
time is the time for them to exercise.
This policy that Judge De Lacy in
tends to enforce would bar children
from sport that is healthful and one
that most OF US enjoyed when we were
young. Regulation Of the sport IS all
right and protecting the skaters, but It
Is going tCo far to prohibit Il. 1t eX-
ceeds the authority of Judge De Lacy
or any other man. To allow the chill
dren to skate until or o'clock can
do no harm
Judge De Lacy says the boys who
skate after dark are tempted to smoke
cigarettes, and to do other Objectionable
things. / watched the skaters as /
came along the street TO this meeting,
and the only cigarette smokers l saw
were among the spectators who were
watching the boys and girls Oh skates.
doubt If Judge De Lacy or anyone
else can find legal right to prohibit
the skating. Certainly no one can find
warrant in public sentiment and under
present precedents."
The resolution presented by Principal
Davis was unanimously adopted after
his remarks had been Endorsed by sew
eral other members of the association.
The resolution favors affording protec-
ton to the skaters and a reasonable
amount of regulation, but opposes the
placing of nightfall as the time limit of
the sport.
The fight of the East Washington
Citizens Association for the removal of
the Street Cleaning Department stables
from its present location between Thir-
teenth, Fourteenth. E and G streets
southeast, was unanimously indorsed.
A communication from the Suitland
(Md.) Citizens Association was received
requesting cooperation in an improved
approach from the city side to the
pennsylvania avenue bridge.

MARY AGAIN.

+ Mary had a little lamb, its fleece
was white as snow; it strayed away
one summer day where lambs should
never go. And Mary sat her quick
ly down and tears streamed from
her eyes, she never found the lamb
because she did not advertise. And
Mary had brother who kept a viii
lage store, he sat him down and
smoked pipe, and watched the open
door. And as the people passed
along but did not stop to buy, John
still sat and smoked his pipe, and
blinked his sleepy eye. And so
the sheriff closed him out, but still
h fingered near. and Mary came
along to drop a sympathetic tear.
How is it, sister, can you tell,
why other merchants here, sell all
their goods so readily and thrive
from year to year," Remembering
her own bad luck, the maiden then
replies: These other fellows got
there. John, because they advertise"

TOOK A TRIP SOUTH

Mr. Harry Kraack, the popular
head salesman at thu" Model Grocery,
left Sunday morning for st. George
or some place near there, the object
of his visit being shrouded in my
stery. His closest friends had been
keeping watch of his transactions for
some time and it all looked good to
them, especially the interest he took
in real estate, furniture and the like.
or course Harry has been specu-
lating IN real estate for some time,
and as all investors in Blackfoot lots
make money on them It shows how
safe and sane he is to be dealing IN
them. But just why he should ar
range to spend his short vacation In
southern Utah is what makes people
curious. Somebody tried to figure
out how many Miles in the trip, but
it isn't quite fair to mention the
Miles SO soon yet until his return al
