WOULD REPLACE POLICE
WITH MILITARY GUARDS
Congress Heights Suggests
That Soldiers Be Stationed
at White House.

The Congress Heights Citizens Associa-
ton wants all the policemen detailed Tor
duty at the White House and other pub
lie buildings withdrawn and in their
place military guards from Fort Myer or
Washington barracks stationed.
Resolutions to that effect were adopted
at the January meeting Of the association
last evening.
last evening, presented a resolution re-
questing the women of Congress Heights
to form an auxiliary to the association
for the purpose of melting a greater in
terest in the work and to provide social
features for the citizens. The member
ship will be general.
The members Of the association are not
satisfied with the condition of Nichols
avenue. and on the recommendation OF
Victor Boyer will urge that this roadway
be placed in a good condition as soon as
the weather will permit.
Need Of Nearby Hospital.
The death of Theodore Michaels, due to
the cold Sunday night, also was before
the association. The report of the per-
son who found Michaels stated that his
body was warm at that time. The asso-
citation contends that If a hospital had
been near. with physicians in attendance.
life might have been restored.
Owing to the long distance that section
is from the hospitals in the city, the Sec
rotary Of the Interior is to be requested
to allow the use Of ward at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane for such
urgent cases. and to permit the patients
to occupy the ward until such time as
they are able either to return to their
homes or be moved to one of the hospi-
tails in the city. A number of cases were
cited where the long delay in getting pa
tient to a Washington hospital was in
furious to the injured person. while if
there had been nearer hospital better
results would have been obtained. The
association does not expect that 1t will
encounter any difficulty in having the re-
quest granted.
President Emmons is hopeful of estab-
fishing branch public library In Anacos-
east of the Anacostia river. A special
committee has been appointed to take
care Of the matter, and the Anacostia
association has been asked to appoint a
like committee to cooperate. 1t has been
found that there would be no trouble In
obtaining the land necessary for such a
building.
East Side Parks.
A resolution favoring the purchase OF
Forts Davis and Dupont for a public
park was presented, but no definite action
| was taken on the matter. In its place
the association will suggest that the
ground around the old almshouse and jail
| would provide a suitable park and the
buildings could be used for gymnasium
| and for other purposes. The association
H4vs ~ nd <hA lv,xSo
presented was because of the location OF
! the tracts. 1t was also brought out that

provide a suitable park with driveways

MOVE FOR PUBLIC PARK
ENDORSED BY CITIZENS
Randle Highlands Association IMAM
imously Approves Proposed Pur-
chase by Commissioners.

At the January meeting of the Randle
Highlands Citizens Association last
evening in the Baptist Church on 23d
street unanimous Endorsement was given
to the proposal of the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia to purchase
Forts Davis and Dupont, both located in
that section Of the District, to be con-
verified into a public park, in line with
the proposed Mcmillan park system.
Qualification was expressed regarding a
letter from the East Washington Heights
Traction Company to the effect that it
would provide walk at the transfer
point, at 18th and Pennsylvania avenue,
for the accommodation of it's patrons,
and also that the company stood ready
at any time to extend its lines along
Pennsylvania avenue to the District line
should a permit for the work be issued
by the Commissioners. The special COM
mittee having in charge the question Of
erecting a shelter at the transfer point
named is still at work. but up to the
present time 1t has been impossible to
ascertain the ownership Of the land re-
quired. Neither the federal nor local gov
eminent will claim ownership.

request has been forwarded to the
Anacostia Citizens Association request
Ing the cooperation of that body in Sc
curing an appropriation from Congress
for the macadamizing of Minnesota ave-
nue. from Pennsylvania avenue to Good
Hope road. and also the laying of a
granolithic sidewalk between 18th and 23d
streets, the only portion now without a
walk.
The Commissioners, it was announced,
hoS, al Al
association relative to the grade of the
streets since the recent laying of side
walks In the suburb. and have stated
that the present conditions will be reme-
died in the near future. In some places
the roadways are several feet above the
sidewalks.
1t was reported that fire hydrants have
been established on both sides of the Ana
costa branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad tracks. During recent fire west
water from a hydrant east Of the track,
causing delay In the movement of the
trains. The establishing of the new n.y.
drants eliminates this condition.
Wants Wider Avenue.
An effort is to be made by the associa-
ton to have the Commissioners authorize
the widening of Pennsylvania avenue just
east of the bridge to it's proper width. 1t
Is at the present time about sixty feet
narrower than the plat calls for, due ia
the presence of high board fence which
was erected long ago. The owners of the
property, the association was told, are
willing to move the fence back. provided
some means can be provided for filling in
the low land which is at present behind it.
Resolutions of sympathy. were directed
to be forwarded to the family Of George
r. Crosen, druggist of Randle Highlands
whose death occurred Monday evening.
Mr. Crosen had been an active member
of the association since his residence
there. His body has been sent to his for
mer home In Leesburg, Va, for burial.
