Residents Adopt Resolutions
Condemning the Man.
agement.

Resolutions condemning the manage
ment Of the Great Falls and Old Domin-
ion railway were adopted by the men,
bers Of the Cherrydale, Va. Citizens AS
ISOLATION, at mass meeting held at the
district schoolhouse last night. Copies Of
the resolutions will be sent to John r.
Mclean, whom the citizens believe to be
in control Of the road; to the interstate
commerce commission and to the cor
poratfon commission. Members declared,
however, that a noticeable improvement
had been made in the service of the road
since similar meeting recently held. and
that if what the patrons consider rea-
sOnable improvements are made before
September 15, the time asked by Presi-
dent Wright of the road, the agitation
would probably cease.
Eleven Complaints.
The resolutions make eleven different
complaints against the road-that
trains do not run on any branch Of the
road; that trains are allowed to become
overcrowded to the point of danger to
the passengers; that many cars which
stop and take up passengers are re-
quired by the management to pass the
stations without stopping, although
often empty; that many times this
has happened to the extent of six cars
leaving passengers waiting at the sta
tiOns. and that the people have been
compelled to walk to Washington; that
passengers who have paid their fares
have been compelled to get off cars in
front of the brewery at Rosslyn at
midnight and walk across fields and
the Aqueduct bridge to Washington;
H. I-;l 1oo cn6
terminal station by the company,
endangering the lives and limbs of pas
sengers; that as many as four heavily
loaded cars have been banked together
on the bridge at one time, thus en-
dangering passengers lives; that the
police regulation of the District of CO.
lumbia ordering that cars shall not be
run within one hundred feet of each
other has been repeatedly violated; ;
that the management of the company
has failed to light properly its stations
and platforms, and to keep the same in
repair; that loaded trains have carried
unlighted cars filled with passengers
on the Bluemont branch of the line.
and that the station maintained at
Georgetown is inadequately lighted
and without enough seating facilities
for women.

Mackey offered the resolutions. following
an address, and they were adopted by
big vote. Mr.. Mackey acted as spokes-
man for the people, while Judge c. E.
Nicol of Alexandra was present as the
representative of the railroad.
Judge Nicol declared that the railroad
had been overwhelmed with work by
being obliged to take over the Bluemont
branch of the Southern railway three
months before it had expected to. He
directed attention to the previous good
record of the line, which, he said, had
attracted to it's line some of those COM

To Keep Up Conventions Fund.

John Dolph, chairman OF the conventions
committee, reported the work OF that
committee and urged that some plan be
adopted to keep up the conventions fund.
He told the board that the fund had been
reduced by various appropriations to a
few hundred dollars. He emphasized the
need of such a fund to be used in bring
ing to Washington many of the great
conventions held in this country. The
fund is controlled by the conventions
finance committee, and Mr.. Dolph urged
that the members Of this committee con-
slider means of replenishing the fund. NJ.
A. Leese moved that fund be raised.
d. J. Callahan and II. b. F. Macfar-
land members of the finance committee,
both commended the work of the conven-
tions committee and asserted that the
conventions fund should be kept up.

committee plans for keeping up the
fund.

Infant Mortality Reduced.

Closely associated with the increase in
the life Of the average Washingtonian is
the reduction in the Districts infant NOR
tality rate. which is shown in special
charts prepared by Dr. Murray. Some in
teresting studies, involving the respective
merits Of natural and artificial feeding of
infants, are set forth.
In 1890 the death rate of infants un-
der one year of age per LOCO inhabitants
was 6.3S. This rate was reduced to 20
by 1911. At the beginning of the same
period the percentage of deaths Of in
fantS under one year of age to reported
births was 3l.9. At the end of the period
this percentage had been reduced to 1876.
These figures prOportioned to the white
and colored races are as follows: In
1880 the rate for colored infants was 1O.71
and in 1911 it was 4.75. The percentage
Of deaths to births was Az in 1890 and
20.6 in 1911.
For white infants under one year of
age, the rate in 1880 was 423, in 1911 it
births in 1880 was 27.5 and in 1911 it was
10.2.

OF infants during the first year of life
is i'm favor OF natural, instead of bottle

cases of natural-fed and 1.1C cases of
bottle-fed infants Investigated, the per-
centage of deaths of the former was 40,
while that of the latter was 13.

Seven states have again combined to
hold a great exposition to show the
products of their soil. mines, lakes

harvests are over and the state and
county fairs have made the collection
of the finest products in the world

as it will be called. will be held in
Minneapolis. November IL to %. The
seven states which will participate are
Minnesota. North and South Dakota,
Montana, Idaho. Washington and Oregon.
To make this exposition possible the
business men of Minneapolis will erect
building of solid steel. brick and con-
