CHARGE Of BAD FAITH
AGAINST MR.. KELLEY
John F. Costello Says National
Committees Headquarters
Are Ignored.

John r. Costello. democratic ma
tional committeeman for the District
OF Columbia, in an interview with a
Star reporter today charged J. Fred
Kelley and the democrats affiliated
with him with bad faith in attempting
to solicit subscriptions and to plan a
ratification meeting and at the same
time ignore the national committees
headquarters in this city.
"The official headquarters for the re-
ceiving of subscriptions to help the
cause of Wilson and Marshall In this
city is in the Riggs building. and is a
branch Of the national committee" he
said.
THE attempt by the Kelley Cla yton
so-called central committee is nothing
more or less than a movement to be-
cloud the issue and to undermine my
work as national committeeman. 1t is
a dog-inthe manager attitude. and !
am sorry to see 1t. as l have been
working for harmony.
This office in the Riggs building is
not my personal office. but an authorized
branch of the national committee. 1t is
the official Office for the receipt of SUBJ
scriptions. 1t is the only place in the
District of Columbia where the official
certificate of the national committee may
be obtained for subscriptions. For every
cOntr1DutlOn turned In 10 the HeduQudT-
ters of the national committee the con-
tributor receives here a certificate of
acknowledgment from Rolla Wells, ma
tionai treasurer of the national COM
mittee.
"The democrat or republican who be-
lieves in the cause OF Wilson and Mar
shall will do best to make his subscr1p-
ton to the headquarters Of the national
committee in this city, in the Riggs build
ing.
Will Name Five.
give prominent men. residents Of
Washington, will be appointed from the
headquarters in New York to act as a
finance committee, and these names will
be announced in New York within a few
days. They. in turn, will select an aux
iliary committee to help them"
The national committeeman's criticism
of the Kelley-Clayton central committee
came about primarily because OF the
statement that the faction of the local
democracy mentioned had attempted to
solicit funds for the national cause. but
Mr. Costello was asked about the pro-
posed ratification meeting.
The Kelley-Clayton committee at a
meeting held last night Endorsed the
idea of q big ratification meeting to be
held presumably by the united de-
mocracy of the District. Mr.. Costello
said today he personally was not work
ing for this meeting, but that the VIII
SON Marshall Democratic Association
of the District of Columbia was plan
ming it, and that he hoped 1t would be
q success.

Would Annex 866 Acres.

The city would annex s66 acres of Alex
andria county. with a population of about
1000 and a valuation estimated by Alex
andria county authorities as between five
and six million dollars. There are $50
acres of Fairfax county that the city
would take in. Prediction is made by
lawyers ana others who are in touch
with the cause that the court will con-
sent to the acquisition by Alexandria
city of a good part but not all of the
land involved in her demand.
The corporate limits of the present city
or Alexandria cover an area OF about 113
acres, with a population of slightly more
than $4,000. as estimated by opponents
to the plan for annexation. The same
authorities declare the city has increased
in population only by 800 souls in ten
years, and has gained only 2,OoO inhabit-
ants in forty years; while it is claimed
that Alexandria county has made gain
of $500 in the last decade.
Samuel Fisher, city attorney for Alex
andria, with John NJ. Johnson and Sam
uel G. Brent, both of Alexandria, as
ISOLATED with him, were counsel for the
city. Alexandria county was represent
ed by Commonwealth's Attorney Crandal
Mackey, assisted by Montague & Mon
Der of the latter firm is Andrew Jack
son Montague, former Governor Of Vir-
ginia, and recently nominated for Con-
greSS.
He was present at the opening proceed
ings. c. Vernon Ford, commonwealth s
attorney, assisted by Attorneys Moore,
Barbour, Kiets and McCandish, appeared
for Fairfax county. The hearing will
consume the greater part, if not all. OF
the week.
Mr.. Johnson in his opening argument
cited the needs of Alexandria city for ex-
pansiOn and the benefits to accrue to the
territory taken in. He also recited the
commercial history of the community OF
Alexandria, presumably as a sentimenta
plea for consideration in favor of its
present efforts toward greater develop
ment of its resources and importance.

to be brought before the convention.
One of the most important questions.
perhaps. which will come before the
delegates is that Of the establishment
Of an annuity fund, from which dis
abled members may be paid about $3.50
q year. This plan. it Is believed by
many. will be better than the estab
lishment of home for the disabled,
as the beneficiary would be able to re-
main at home with his family by this
means, whereas If sent to home he
would be separated from them.
Teaching Trades in Schools.
The project Of teaching trades as a reg
ular part of the public school education
will also be considered. 1t is pointed out
in this connection that only about 10
per cent Of the children are able to go
through high school and college and learn
profession. yet the school system In
vogue in the United States favors these
few. Fully 30 per cent of the children
leave the schools and go to work before
attaining the eighth grade it is claimed.
