ly was adopted permitting the associations

vidual bodies and not as federation.

gress but likewise would aid the asso-

CITIZENS WILL FIGHT
TRANSFER MEASURE
See Danger of Adjustment of
Six-Ticket
Rate.

Congress Heights Citizens Association,
dissatisfied with the universal transfer
bill as passed by the Senate, will register
objection at the conference to be held
Monday next. The bill was thoroughly
discussed at the March meeting OF the
association last evening at the home of
President o. A. Emmons, on Nichols ave-
nue.. Should the present bill become a
law it was consensus Of opinion that the
traction companies would have authority
to abolish the rate Of six tickets for o
cents and charge straight five-cent fare,
and also that the original purpose Of the
bill was entirely lost in the amended
language.
The association framed a bill, which 1t
will urge, calling for issuance Of two-cent
transfers at all intersections where one
company's line runs within 200 feet of
another. The bill also would require con-
unuance OF the sale OF six tickets for 25
cents and issuance of free transfers as
at present.
Situation Disclosed.
Julian Marceron. chairman Of the rail-
road committee, reported q canvass Of
car patrons and declared the majority
not IN favor Of universal transfers. He
also said that the bulk of those using the
cars live in localities available to their
work by payment Of one fare. If neces-
sary to change to the cars of another
line no objection could be raised to pay
ing an additional cents.
Endeavor is to be made to induce the
railway to operate all cars on the 18th
instead Of stopping a majority Of them in
Anacostta, as at present. II this were
done it would eliminate the necessity of
transfer to the Union station or points
In the northeast section.
Acquisition Of Forts Davis and Dupont
for park purposes is opposed by the as
ISOLATION, which will so inform the Senate
subcommittee. With the reclamation of
the Anacostta fats well under way, ample
and accessible parking facilities will be
provided. in the opinion Of the associa-
ton, while the two fort sites would be
rarely used.
The bill to acquire strip OF land along
the Anacostia river from the new bridge

acquired by appropriation from the gen.
eral fund, and not by assessing q few
who happen to live within q certain
radius of the land to be obtained.

ans auxiliary reported progress. A num-
Der of women have expressed q desire

The Secretary of the Interior has ad-
vised the association that he can see no
objection to carrying injured persons into
the hospital on the grounds of the Gov
eminent Hospital for the Insane, in cases
Of emergency. The superintendent of the
asylum also has given his consent to the
treatment of such cases.
An accident a few months ago. when
a man was carried the long distance to
one of the city hospitals and expired on
the way, was the cause for the request
The Secretary states that there is no law
on the subject, either in favor or against
the proposition. but he believes the re-
quest to be a worthy one.

LINCOLN PARK MEN
TAKE LEAD To GET
!. IMPROVED STREETS
Association Will Urge Co.
operation to Get 100000
/. g.. Appropriation.

A special meeting of the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association was held In the
Ingram Memorial Church last night to
consider resolution asking the Dis
trict Commissioners to urge Congress
to materially increase the appropria-
ton for street paving in Washington.
d. A. Edwards. president of the asso-
ciation, pointed out that a few years
ago more than half a. million dollars
was appropriated yearly for paving
streets. but that last year only T1,0OO
was set aside for this purpose.
All of the other citizens associations
win be urged to hold special meetings
to ask the Commissioners to insist
on more money this year for
paving purposes. The Lincoln Park
Citizens Association believes that by
getting all of the associations lined up
for a greater appropriation Congress
will be more apt to grant the amount
asked.
1t Is probable that the. Federation of
Ctizens' Associations will meet Satur-
! ty night to consider this matter. 1t
q understood that the Commissioners
are to make up their estimates during
this month, ready to be presented when
Congress convenes In Dece mber
Ray l.. Smith, at the meeting of the
Lincoln Park Citizens Association, last
night, offered the following resolutions
on the street paving question:
BE II resolved by the Lincoln Park
Citizens Association. That we request
the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia to include in their estimates
for the next fiscal year the sum OF $780,
900 for street paving.
he 1t further resolved That we pledge
this association to support such esti-
mate before the committees of Congress
and to. join with the other civic or
ganisations of the District to aid In
having II enacted as part Of the Dis
trict appropriation BILL"
The association went on record as fav-
oring the establishment Of a bathing

TRIAL OF ANGLER
Z. OWNERS ON LIQUOR
CASE POSTPONED
Action Will Determine Right
to Grant Licenses for
District Waters.

~ Trial Of Gilbert Bensinger, Louis JEFF
ferson, Elijah Sanders, James oliver,
and Andrew Jackson, copartners in the
ownership Of the excursion steamer An
gler. charged with selling Intoxicating
liquors on the vessel without a license,
which was scheduled to take place In
the District branch of Police Court to-
day has been postponed until September
II.
Much interest centers in the trial Of
the case, which will determine whether
or not owners Of excursion steamers
plying between Washington and the
river resorts can sell fntoxicants with
out a license while In District waters.
II is the policy of owners Of certain
river craft, Prosecuting Attorney
Schuldt declares. to open the saloons
ID soon as the vessels leave the wharf.
In doing this these owners have econo-
mized by not having to pay a saloon
license. In the majority of instances,
however, vessel owners prefer to keep
their bars closed until they pass in
the waters of Virginia and Maryland.
IN this event they are exempt from pay
ing a District license.
The Angler case will in a way test
the right Of the District to demand
license money from boat owners who
sell liquors while running in District
waters. p
