ALEXANDRIA,, Va, August "A, 1912.
The board of police commissioners at a
meeting tonight elected Policeman Will
liam j. Wilkinson and Wilmer Scott sec
ond and third sergeants of police, re-
spectively. They were chosen without op-
position. The new sergeants will at once
assume their respective stations under
the direction of Chief of Police Goods.
The first sergeant is g. Frank Belts,
formerly lieutenant of police, who was
elected by the commissioners at meet
ing Wednesday night. The commission
ers. however dead.ocked on the election
of second sergeant. hence the adjourn
ed meeting tonight. The deadlock was be-
tween Policeman Wilkinson and John T.
Roberts.
On motion of Commissioner Bryan it
was decided that the sergeants shall wear
the same uniforms as the privateS, except
that the coat shall have three chevrons
on each s.eeve, and the respective num-
Der of each sergeant shall be inscribed
in these cheyrons. The chevrons are to
be light blue. The caps will bear the
word sergeant on a metallic pate, to-
gether with the number.
The election of the sergeants is in con-
formity with recent change in the city
charter made by the state leg!sla ture.
which abolished the office of lieutenant of
police. The force will henceforth consist
of a chief, with three sergeants. The pay
of the first sergeant has been fixed at $40
a month and of the other two sergeants
at STD q month.

ANAC0STIA.

The erection of portable chapel by the
Baptist denomination of Congress
Heights is being strongly considered by
members of that congregation, and it is
more than likely that within few
months such a building will be placed
there. For number of years the town
hall on Alabama avenue has been used
for holding religious services, but the
membership has increased and it is now
considered necessary to have church.
Not long ago a building committee was
appointed, with c. F. Purdy as it's chair
man, and through the efforts of this
committee, piece Of ground was pur-
chased at Nichols avenue and Brothers
place. 1t was hoped that a permanent
structure could be erected there. and an
appeal was made to the Columbia AS
ISOLATION of Washington. Things did not
turn out as expected, and the committee
could not see it's way clear to placing a
permanent structure there The associa-
ton suggested a portable chapel. and
since then efforts have been turned in
that direction Rev. Quirof Harlan is
pastor of the congregation there.
Following an absence of nearly two
months, with the exception of one Sun
day. Rev. Willard G. Davenport, rector of
Emmanuel Episcopal Church, returned to
Anacostia the past week from Colonial
Beach, and will today resume his duties
at the church. Mrs. Davenport, his wife.
is still at the beach. in charge of the Ben
Home there but will return the early
part of next month.

ment, which is now well under way, for
securing relief for Charles fudge and
family, whose home in that community
just recently burned down. and every
thing they possessed was lost.
The Commissioners have notified Albert
+. Beck. secretary of the Anacostia Cit
liens Association. that its request for the
laying of granolithic sidewalks on botn
sides of w street, between Nichols and
Railroad avenues, had been granted, and
next list to be prepared by the surface
division.
Members of the Roman Catholic Church
residing on Congress Heights, are still
hopeful that they will have church of
their own in that suburb before many
more years. The community is directly
under st. Teresa's Church in Anacos:ia,
and few months ago. when the pastor,
Rev. Charles NJ. Bart, was out of the
city, a campaign was started to raise
funds for the erection of such building
with the hope that his consent might
have been gotten upon his return. How
ever, the desired consent was not given,
and the people were disappointed, al
though they have not given up hope that
believe that before many years Father
Bart will see that their request Is a
reasonable one and permit the church to
be erected. Ground upon which to erect
it has been donated.
The Suitland Improvement Association
has chosen it's officers for the ensuing
year as follows: Charles l.. Jenkins,
president: Judge Samuel E. Cox, vice
president; George Hess. secretary and
Owens, A. T. Scott, James Kerr and Ira
l.. Norton have been elected TO member
ship in the association.
