The claim of discrimination made by
the Anacostia Citizens Association
against the railway and express COM
panies in the District of Columbia was
presented to the interstate commerce
commission today, through Attorneys
Frank 5. Bright and A. Z. Beck. The
papers cover in detail the claims of the
association. showing that express COM
panies deliver packages to persons in
the city but in Anacostia the packages
are left at a central station and it is
necessary to remove them from that one
place: that the Union Traesier Com
pany delivers trunks and baggage free
10 points in the city, and at distances
further from the Union station than Ana
costa. but an additional charge is re-
guired for deliveries in Anacostia and
that the freight agents will not deliver
freight in Anacostia without extra
charge. The association holds that this
is directly contrary to the rules Of the
commission. and asks that early consid-
Grafton be given the petition. President
Burr signed the petition for the asso-
citation.

vention Of Infant Mortality" The SYM
postum consisted Of ten-minute papers of
several Washington physicians and sur
tally were discussed from birth or before
to the time the infant completes cutting
its first teeth.
Some of the Causes.
It was shown that a large proper
ton of infant mortality occurs within
twenty-four hours after the birth of the
child. due to ill-advised operations, care
less methods, failure to observe proper
precautions as to antiseptics. etc. Liquor
drinking as prolific cause of infant NOR
tally was brought out strongly in the
statistics presented. it being shown that
the children of drinking mothers furnish
more than so per cent of the mortality
figures. This condition, it was shown, is
increasing with the number
Of children.

DISTRICT STABLE TOPIC
OF CITIZENS MEETING
East Washington Association
Thinks Proposed Assess
ment Plan Unjust.

Capt. w NJ. Potter, president Of the
East Washington Citizens Association,
presented lengthy statement to the as
sociation at last nights meeting, dealing
with the building of the District stable
Commissioners in the matter of paving
the alleys in the square. Commissioner
Judson. he said, had stated the construc-
pave the alley.
An appropriation of $500 has been
asked to be used in paving the entrances
to the alley. Capt. Potter stated, and the
Commissioners propose to assess one-half
the cost of the rest Of the paving against
the property owners. Such assessment
he thought unjust. as the alley will be OF
benefit to the District and not of much
value to the property owners.
Capt. Potter termed the proposed as
sessment an unjust burden on the tax
payers. His statement was followed by
the adoption of a resolution providing
for the appointment Of a committee to
urge on Congress the injustice of such
an assessment, and ask that an appro-
priauon be made from the general fund
to pay for the work.
Improvement Of Avenue.
Another resolution introduced by Capt.
Potter and adopted by the association
asked that the Commissioners seek to
secure an appropriation by Congress of
$4,000 to improve Pennsylvania avenue
southeast from 18th street to the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge. The founders of
the city. he said. contemplated improve
ments going eastward, and consequently
had the Capitol face that way. The city
had been built westward, however. and
the eastern section was neglected.
A resolution offered by Thomas Delcher
opposed the proposed increase in the
salaries of the Commissioners and other
off1cials receiving as much as $1,000 until
the salaries Of janitors, laborers and
telephone operators are increased.
A communication from Commissioner
Rudolph asking for assistance in the mat.
ter OF making May II, Mothers day. .
success was read. Capt Potter was
named committee of one to communi.
cate with clergymen and others in East
Washington.
James M. Wood asked the association
to indorse the bill that provides for thu
elimination Of the property yard on Wes
virginia avenue northeast. He also dis
cussed the question of the extension Of
the tracks OF the Washington Railway
and Electric Company on 14th and l5tf
streets northeast.
Favorable action also was taken on III.
