HOPING For SOLUTION
OF RAILWAY PROBLEM
Extension of Line to East Wash
ington Heights Provided for
in Amended Bill.

Members of the East Washington
Heights Citizens Association are antfc-
ipating an early solution Of the railway
problem in their suburb. At the Feb
ruary meeting, held last evening in the
Baptist Church on the Bowen road, the
belief was expressed that the bill now
before Congress granting a charter for
the East Washington Suburban Railway
Company will be passed at this session
and permission given for the work to
proceed. 1t was reported the original bill
would have made the actual construction
of the road prohibitive, owing to stip-
ulation that the rail rout should not be
constructed on any county road not hav-
ing g. width of at least sixty feet.
Through the efforts of the members Of
the association and others interested in
the movement, a new bill has been pre-
pared and will be introduced in the near
future. The bill provides the railway
shall Ne constructed along Good Hope
road from its intersection with Nichols
avenue In Anacostia to the District line
at Suitland. Nd,

stove. Before the blaze was extinguished
about $50 damage had. been done. The
house was occupied by Charles Butler and
owned by Mrs Martha Edelin, and was
not insured. About $40 box No. 81 was
turned in for fire in the second story of
1909 Nichols avenue, occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. William McElheney, and owned by
John Appich. The latter blaze was
caused by defective electric wire ignit-
ing gas. The damage was about $50.

the two alarms. and before they had
completed their work here another call

STUDENTS I
WELCOME TO DISTRICT
Tak0ma Park Citizens ASso.
citation Not Against Grant
ing School Privileges.

At special meeting OF the Takoma
Park Citizens Association last night in
the Takoma Public Library, corner 5th
and Cedar streets, resolutions were unani-
mously adopted urging the enlargement
Of the present public school and con-
demning statements that the association
had gone on record as opposed to school
children residing on the Maryland side
attending public schools in the District.
The meeting was called to order by
President James w. Dyre, who explained
the object. He called on H. D. Lawson.
chairman of the committee on education.
who stated that the Takoma Public
School had at the present time an enroll
men far exceeding it's capacity. He urged
prompt congressional action in order to
start the movement for an enlargement
Of the present structure. In speaking Of
the use of District schools by Maryland
school children. he pointed out that a
large percentage Of the parents Of the
children attending the school were in the
employ Of the government. The approx
mate number of children attending was
about thirty-eight, or possibly forty-two
in all. Unless a four-room addition is Sc
cured at the present session of Congress
1t will be at least two years before O
buildings can be made use of, he said,
as 1t will take about one year to con-
struet one and another year to properly
equip a school of the necessary size.
Resolutions Adopted.
He presented a resolution, which was
unanimously adopted. urging that neces-
sary steps be taken to impress upon Con-
gress for immediate enlargement of the
present school building.
l.. z. Thompson called attention to the
fact that it would be a hardship to deprive
the children of the use of the schools, es-
pecially when the interests of their par
ents are in the District many of their
parents being engaged in general business
In Washington He said that citizens
from other states who spend the winters
IN Washington send their children to the
public schools Of Washington and that
there should be no distinction.
A resolution was unanimously adopted
stating that residents of Takoma Park;
whether or not engaged in public duties
or owners of property in the District, are
wholly dependent upon and necessarily
supporters Of the industries and inst tu-
of TakOma Park, Nd, are citizens of the
State Of Maryland and as such con-
tributors to the one-half Of the cost Of
education in the District borne by the
SoSei H!hSitt VI luo Chitou Oeates. nc
resolution concludes by stating that the
exclusion from the public schools of Ia
koma Park, d. c., of residents of Takoma
Park, Nd, is condemned by the Takoma
Park Citizens Association.
President Dyre announced that he was
awaiting reply to communication sent
to Senator Gallinger requesting hearing
before q committee before the matter
was taken up In the Senate for action.
He urged large attendance at the hear
ing, which is expected to be granted
during the present week.

Water Main Extension.

Regret was expressed, at the meeting
that the water supply will not be extend
ed to the suburb for lack of an appropri-
alton at this session of Congress, not
withstanding the efforts made by men,
bers of the association. 1t was decided,
however, to continue in the attempt and
try to induce the Senate committee to
include this item. 1t would require a
comparatively short extension from
Randle Highlands.

tendance from the time OF his entering the
death house.
on last Friday night soon after the news
OF the Governors decision had been con-
veyed TO him, Richeson collapsed. TIL.
nervous strain proved too much to with.
stand His collapse resembled attacks 10
which he had been subject at intervals for
years In a partly conscious state he rolled
about on his cot. delirious, moaning and
grooming. At times he raved against two
men who were watching him and follow
ing him. doubtless referring to the two
guards forming his death watch. The
prison physician administered sedatives ana
the prisoner fell into sleep for fourteen
hours.
When he awoke Richeson appeared re-
signed He chatted freely with his spirit
ual advisers and counsel regarding the dis
position of his affairs and events OF his
past life
In the following prelude TO an essay on
Tragic Love-" written by Richeson while
a student at William Jewell College, the
future seducer and murderer set an ideal
mark in strikingly ironical contrast to his
career Referring 10 the fate OF Romeo
and Juliet, he wrote:
4 double tragedy ends the worlds famous
romance, which standard is followed by
many thousands both old and young.
Again, just one word more. II you please.
and YOU may reflect in quietness. May no
one let the natural beauty OF woman ..
the conceited air OF man ever lead Nun
TO enter an eternal tragedy, because low
is not love that ends thus. Love is love
that loves always: love is love that lives 70
love; love is love that loves 10 live.
