TAKE UP MANY MATTERS.
Topics Discussed by East End Citi-
zens' Association.

Several matters of interest to the Dis
trict were discussed at meeting Of the
East End Suburban Citizens Association,
held at 1896 H street, Thursday night.
Approval Of Several street extension bills
was given by the association. but the
members failed to approve the Works bill
to reduce the number of saloons in the
District and to regulate the liquor traffic.
The bill was termed an interference with
the rights of citizens.
The association declared against the
Commissioners charging the property
owners on the alley leading to the new
street cleaning department stables with
the cost Of paving the thoroughfare. A
discussion on the wages of street clean
ing department employees resulted in a
recommendation to the Commissioners
that the white wings be raised from
$1.5O to 50 day.
Other measures discussed were the I,o-
beck bill, dealing with the collection and
disposal of refuse. the gas appliance bill
and bills for the purchase Of Fort Du-
pOnt. Fort Davis and Mount Hamilton
for park purposes.

fore the society yesterday afternoon and

products-food fishes. corals and other
things taken from the waters for the
use of humanity-and showed in pictures
the work Of fishermen. sealers and others
whose field of labor is the deep sea.
Motion pictures showing salmon fishers
At work among the hundreds of threshins
squirming fish. held the attention and
interest Of the large audiences both aft
ernoon and night. The films were tinted
in way to render the pictures more
realistic. A large collection of cOlored
slides, illustrating the microscopic in
habitants of a drop of ditch water, and
from these to the little organisms that
build the coral reefs and islands, with
collections of sea anemones and other
strange Inhabitants of the ocean, that,
being animals, still bear close re-
semblance to flowers and plants, were
particularly interesting.

MAY Be GIVEN OVER
ENTIRELY TO OFFICES
Change Likely to Be Made at
Franklin School Building
in the Fall.

That the Franklin School building, 18th
and X streets northwest, will be USED
wholly for the administrative offices OF the
District public school system when Nor
NAL School No. ! moves into it's new
building at 18th and Harvard streets next
fall was the belief expressed by several
of the school chiefs today. Because the
normal school and its practice grades
occupy a large portion Of the building
many of the executive offices are in
other buildings. scattered throughout the
city.
Besides large number Of classrooms
occupied by the normal students and the
practice grades, all of which could prob
ably he converted into office rooms, there
Is assembly hall where teachers meet
ings and other conferences could be held.
The present offices contained in the build
ing are Office of the superintendent of
schools, assistant superintendent of white
schools assistant superintendent of color
ed schools, secretary of the board OF edu-
ca ion director Of intermediate instruc-
ton. director of primary instruction. SUI
pervisor of manual training. director OF
music, librarian, superintendent OF JAM
tors and examining Offices of the board of
education.
Offices That May Be Moved.
Executive offices situated in other
buildings which probably will be moved
to the Franklin in the fall are director Of
drawing, office at present in Berret
School; domestic science and domestic
art, both situated at present at COZ o
street northwest; physical training, at
present in Webster School; kindergartens,
at present in Berret School, and attend
ance Offices also in same school at pres
ent, and night schools. situated at present
in Dennison School. The supervising prin-
cfpal's offices are located in the respective
divisions. but these will not, Of course,
be changed.
Although the new building for the Nor
NAL School is under contract to be fin
ished by the middle of September next,
1t may not be possible to have the school
completed until later date. Also some
of the practice grade rooms may have to
be kept open for the children, as the
Thomson School, which is nearest the
Franklin, is crowded at present, and it is
expected will be even more SO next year
The Franklin building contains ten rooms
which could be used as classrooms for
children, but of these only six are used
at present.
Just what action the board of education
Will take in the matter is not yet known,
but 1t is understood many of the MEN,
bers are in favor Of the change.

warm WEATHER PERIOD
LIKELY TO Be BELATED.
Another Cold Wave Probable
Before Springtime, the
Forecaster Declares.

Spring is not with us vet. and will not
be for several days, at least. The gentle
season may be indefinitely delayed. as the
cold which now envelopes the entire
United States Of America shows no signs
of disappearing entirely before the influ-
ence of warm winds from the flower
laden countries to the south.
Spring isn't here, and we'll probably
have to undergo another storm before it
arrives said the forecaster at the wealth
err bureau today. This cold spell we had
last night was neither the advance guard
nor the rear guard Of a cold wave, but
seemed to be all there was to the change
1t grew cold all over the United States.
Local Temperature Tonight.
Tonight we will have temperature Of
from IS to Or 25 degrees. Tomorrow
will be cloudy. according to our present
outlook and the mercury will rise some
what-not enough to feel exactly Hike the
real spring, but enough to make heavy
overcoats uncomfortable.
We'll have to go through another
storm, probably, before spring arrives.

No Trouble From Rise in River.
The freshet from the upper Potomac
which began running down in a strong
current Tuesday last, has passed with
out causing much trouble. While it has
carried the ice from the upper river away
from this city, reports received from be-
low Alexandria state that the river was
filled with drift ice yesterday. making It
unsafe for unsheathed wooden hull ves-
sells to attempt passage. even behind q
tugboat, for fear of cutting the hull. The
tides and westerly winds are expected to
carry the ice ashore, and by the first
of the coming week 1t is thought that
there will be but little to be seen in the
river to remind one that for nearly two
months it was covered with ice from
eight to twelve inches thick. The thaw-
ing Of the ice came just right to prevent
any trouble from ice gorges about this
city.
