TO GREET HARDING
Citizens Association To Be Host
to Engineer Commissioner at
Session on May 13.

Col. Chester Harding, Engineer Com
missioner, will be the guest of the Ran
die Highlands Citizens Association on
the evening Of May 13. His acceptance
Of the invitation extended by the as
sociation was read at a special meeting
last night Of the Citizens Association.
An elaborate entertainment will Be pro-
vided by George v. Blakeney, chairman
of the committee on arrangements. and
his assistants. The reception will take
place in the Baptist Church in Nay
,or road. 1t is proposed to let the Com
missioner know what the needs Of the
community are, and how they have
been provided for heretofore.
The association last night considered
Endorsements for candidates for ap-
pointment to the new excise board to
be named in the District. The matter
was not acted upon.
II is probable the association will ask
the District Commissioners to transfer
the reservation known as LEnfant Cir
Gle. at Minnesota and Pennsylvania ave-
uues. to the care of the United States.
C. A, Barker reported having visited
the office of Colonel Cosby for the pur-
pose of suggesting improvements to the
circle. but he was informed the land Is
under the jurisdiction Of the Commits
sioners. At the Municipal building he
learned there is no fund for its main
tenance and that the best course to take
will be to have It transferred to the list
of reservations maintained by the
United States, This can be done on the
Initiative of the Commissioners, with
the concurrepce Of Colonel Cosby's Of
fee. Similar action was taken in the
case of Logan Park, Anacostia. on
which the United States has expended
a large sum of money. The circle has
been in a state Of neglect for a number
of years.

 The legislative district fights where the democratic legislators who voted for the trolley merger bill in violation of the party platform sought re-elec- ton were the object of much interest. Early returns indicated the defeat of eight of these representatives and one of the senators. Thomas M. Jcyce of Boston. was showed under by Joseph Leonard
 Others of the pledge breakers who were defeated yesterday were: James
  Huckely. of Dorchester: Geo. T. Daly. ot Ward 12. Boston; John J. Doug lass. of East Boston; William J. Gra- lam, of Lawrence (withdrawn); Michael A. Henneberry, of Worcester; John r. Mccarthy, of Ward Is, Bos- ton. and Eugene r. Toomy. of Lowell. The vote was the lightest cast since the passage of the direct primary law in 1911. While nearly 100 900 demo- crats and an almost equal number of republicans voted last year in the primaries, the returns received up to late hour this morning shows a falling off of 50 per cent in both parties
 In Boston the contest on the demo- cratic side between Barry and Long brought out only fair vote, while in the rest of the state the lack of in terest was great.
