ANACOSTIA.

A campaign is to be waged by citizens of
Anacbstia in an effort to induce the Com
missioners to provide alleys in all of the
large squares in Anacostia, and to open
and grade those that are now existing,
but which have been considered as pri-
vate property for a long time. A num-
ber of the squares were provided with
alleys in their original survey, and it was
not until an investigation was made that
this fact became known. Maurice Otter
back, chairman of the committee on
streets and highways of the citizens as
sociation, has been making an tnvesti-
cation Of the conditions, and finds this
can be done in a number OF instances.
without requiring the condemnation of
any land. He will submit a complete
report at the December meeting of the
association.
The November meeting of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association. to be
held on Tuesday evening next in the Bap-
tist church in Twenty-third street, will
probably be the most important in long
time. 1t is the time for the annual cleo
ton of officers, and the present officers
have much work to present before this
election is held.
Work was started yesterday by the w
L. Brennizer Company on the laying Of
streets in Anacostia. The most impor-
tant thoroughfares to receive this i'm
provement, are Minnesota avenue, Good
Hope road, and Thirteenth street, parts
of which have never had any sidewalk.

gas company made a thorough investiga-
ton of the conditions causing the defec-
tive supply, and a much better service is
now obtained.

holders Are Progressive.

The telephone operator in the Tennally-
town station house was kept busy last
night. Call after call kept coming in,
and each message told Of a negro who
was making his way along Cathedral
avenue, telling a different story at each
house. To some householders he said
that his mother was dead, to others that
his mother was sick, and to others that
his sister was dying. The point Of each
story was that he wanted money.
AS the man made his way along the
row of houses, the telephones recorded
his progress. With commendable prompt
ness Officer Donovan responded. and
scarcely had the last message reached
the station from the last house when
the man was in custody. He was taken
to the Georgetown station house, where
he gave the name of William Thomas,
but refused to tell his occupation or his
residence. He was locked up on a charge
of vagrancy.

REPRIEVE GRANTED
TO MATTE LOMAX
President ft'Giyes Woman
Ninety Days Stay.

President Taft yesterday granted a
ninety-day reprieve to Matte E. Lomax,
sentenced TO death for the murder of
her husband. The execution of the death
sentence was to have been carried out
November 20.
The colOred woman would have been
the first to suffer capital punishment in
the District since the execution of Mrs.
Surratt for completely in Lincoln's as
sassination.
The Presidents action gives the con-
demned woman a stay until next Febru-
ary, in which time she may be given ad-
ditiOnal opportunity to apply for Execu-
tive clemenCy. This is the second re-
prieve the woman has had.
When informed of the Presidents ac-
ton in her case, Matte LomaX at first
did not fully comprehend its significance.
But when it was explained to her that
the, ten days of life which still remained
to her under the sentence of the court
had been extended three months, she
smiled and expressed her appreciation of
the Presidents act.

Honest Medicines Versus Fakes.

President Taft's recent message sug-
costing an amendment to the pure food
and drugs law in its relation to pre-
pared medicines does not refer to such
standard medicines as E'oley's Honey
and Tar Compound and Foley Kidney
Pills. both of which are true medi-
cineS carefully compounded of ingredi-
entsST whose medicinal qualities are
recognized by the medical profession
itself as the best known remedial
agents for the diseases they are in
tended to counterfeit. For over three
decades F,Oley's Honey and Tar Com
pound has been standard remedy for
coughs, colds and affections of the
throat, chest and lungs for children
and for grown persons. and it retains
today its pre- eminence above all other
preparations of its kind. Foley Kidney
Pills are equally effective and me.ito-
