PEOPLE HOLD JUBILEE;
OPTIMISM As KEYNOTE
Congress Heights Celebrates
Completion of Public I'M
provements.

The '.jubilation" celebration of the peo-
pie of Congress Heights, held in the town
hall last night under the auspices of the
Congress Heights Public Improvement AS
ISOLATION. was attended by several hun
bred persons, and optimism was the key
note of the speeches and of the general
sentiment.
The meeting was held to celebrate the
completion of over 100000 worth of pub
lie improvements in the suburb during the
past year. including the extension of the
double tracks for the street. railway line
to Congress Heights. thus making pos
sible through service from the heart of
WashingtOn: the extension of the water
and sewer mains. and the extension of
gas mains. 1t was entirely a local cele-
bration.
Milton j. Fillius, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, presided, and the
president of the association, w. w. Price,
was introduced as the first speaker. Mr.
Price voiced welcome with an urging
for more civic spirit among the people Of
the suburb.
Randle the Principal Speaker.
Arthur E. Randle, founder Of Congress
Heights, was the principal speaker. He
reviewed the growth of the suburb from
a wilderness to a community of about
1000 inha bitants. Touching upon the
proposals for changing the half-and-half
principle in the organic law. he said:
THE District of Columbia includes the
Capital city of over 90,O0o.Gp0 people. and
they all claim it as their city and should
be required to bear portion of it's ex-
penses The 100000 people who dwell in
this city should not be expected to stand
the entire expense.
Mr.. Randle seemed to strike a popular
chord in reference to w. w. Price. Re
ferring to the fact that Mr.. Prices home
is just across the District line in Mary
land Col. Randle said:
ut will not be long. and probably with
in the next twelve months, when Mr..
Price will be nominated for Congress
from the fifth district of Maryland. and
everybody who knows him will vote for
him.
Mr. Randle's suggestion that Police
NOTED to lieutenant was received with
applause.

PLANNING
TO ASCERTAIN VALUES

Following preliminary meeting this
morning Of the commission. appointed by
the District Supreme Court to appraise
the value of the twelve squares of ground
between Union station and the Capitol
which is to be condemned by the govern
ment and added to the Capitol grounds,
timony will be commenced next Monday
afternoon, following an examination of
witnesses tomorrow.
The commission is composed of George
TruesdelI, NJ /. Weller and Thomas H.
Mckee, and will hold it's sessions in room
800 of the District building. A arge num-
erty holders.
But Two Squares Considered.
Appraisal of the value of the ground in
only two of the twelve squares will be
commenced at this time, but 100000 be-
ing available annually with which to
carry on the work There is, however, a
total of s1,OO0,OH on hand with which to
begin the appraisais, as that amount has
accrued since the passage of the act by
Congress authorizing the condemnation of
the property.
Attorneys Stanton G. Peelle and r. T..
in the proceedings. Among the attorneys
for the property holders will be A. Left
witch Sinclair, formerly assistant corpora
ton counsel for the District, who repre-
scented the local government in the grade
damage cases resulting from the building
of Union station.
One of the larger interests in the area
to be condemned is the estate of the late
Joseph W. Babcock, formerly chairman
of the House District committee in Con-
gress. Attorney A. B. Browne will ap-
pear for the American Security and Trust
Company, trustees for the Babcock
estate.
George Washington House Included.
Included in the structures to be con-
demned is the old George Washington
house, now known as the Kenmore To-
Gated on North Capitol street between Il
and G. streets. This building is one of
the historic sites of the capital.
When all the land to he condemned has
finally been acquired by the government
the Capitol grounds will extend all the
way to Union station. Several years will
elapse, however, before the project can
be completed.

not meant for the public, nor for the

families of their own. Notice has been
received from some who reside at
great distances TO the effect that they
will be present-some who have never
heretofore been at the annual reunion.

each other, some of them for possibly
twenty years or more.

FADS AND FASHIONS
BY FLORENCE FAIRBANKS.

New York, Oct 13.-The tailored
frock of today is in many respects en-.
tirely different from the tailored frock
of last spring. The absolutely plain,
nd-a-halfyard-wide trotter skirt
OF the present day, of silk. cashmere
or fine vale serge in taupe, sage
green or slate blue, has no visible
opening and its normally placed belt
is attached to blouse of taffeta
striped in two tones and trimmed with
a shoulder collar of the same material
as the skirt. The sewed-in conven-
tonally shaped sleeves are absolutely
plain, fit closely about the wrists and
cover almost half of the hands; they
are an excellent type of the sleeve to
be generally worn in the very near
future.
Often it is the girdle which fur
nishes smartness to the midautumn
tailored frock of cashmere or serge.

NEGOTIATING CADETS
AGAINST TYPHOID FEVER

incubation against typhoid fever
has been given some of the students
of Az M. college, the treatment in
each case being at the request of the
individual.
When 1t was announced some time
ago that the United States army now
required every officer and soldier in
the service to be inoculated with the
anti-typhoid virus, DR.. Otto II. Ehl.
niger, surgeon OF the college, began
a study of the system that was adopt
ed by the army. During the past sum-
mer he visited the army hospitals in
the East, saw the work done, had the
entire incubation process explained
by the surgeons of the army and at
tended number of lectures on the
subject. He was so we'll pleased with
the treatment that he procured some
of the serum for use at-the college,
and the students were told of the
treatment. A number OF them have
made request that they be inocu-
lated, and in each instance the re.
quest has been granted No effort has
been made to make the treatment gen.
eral in the cadet corps. but there. is
sufficient pressure brought to bear on
DR.. Ehlinger to indicate that the stu
dents desire it,
Lieut. C. L. Fenton, U. S. A., who is
commandant of cadets, said Il am
glad to see the cadets taking an inter
est in this anti-typhoid incubation. l
have taken the treatment in the army,
as l am required to do, and ] believe
it is a fine thing It would please me
very much to have all the cadets sig
Nifty a desire to be inoculated, and If
this is done | will endorse an appli-
cation to the war department for
quantity of the serum"
Commandant Fenton and DR.. Ehl
niger are keeping a close watch over
the health of the cadet corps. Santa
lion is being looked after and three
times a day these two officers make
an inspection of the mess hall and

GENTRY BROS. SHOW
Hampered by Rain and Mud, but Gave
Fine Parade and Good
Show.

In the wake of blaze of advertis-

in the city this morning. Gentry Bros.
Shows are too well known in this
community to require an expensive in
PRODUCTION.
They are the same shows that you
saw in childhood in name only. Tn~
fact of the matter is, they are many
times larger than when they made
their first appearance here An ex-
ample of this is the fact that 107
ponies constitute the opening number
of the show.
At o'clock this afternoon the pa
rade made its way from the. field of
the tented colseums to the business
district and thence back to the lot. 1t
was of such quality that it whetted
the appetite for more, and this after
noon there was a steady stream of
people to the show grounds.
The performance was of such
pleasing nature that the audience fire.
quently broke into rounds of hearty
applause. There are just enough hui
man performers with the show to
break most pleasantly the routine
There will be another performance
this evening, and if the criticisms o.
the crowds that attended this after
noon count for anything there will be
many reepaters as well as new hordes
to visit the show.

ABOUT THE RAILROAD SHOPS

The Eagle was informed today that
encouraging news had been received
from the railroad officials relative to
the removal of the shops and division
terminals from Hearne to Bryan
From the information received, the
railroad officials appear to be in dead
earnest about the matter and the ques
ton of removal will rest largely with
the people of Bryan.
The committee to be named by
President McInnis of the Commercial
Club will likely visit Houston on next
Monday.
