Was it possible that Lieut..
Gov. O'Hara really had meant

The society women, the re-

the sensation seekers, gave queer,
gasping little indrawn breaths.
The reporters around the press
tables looked at each other blank

O'Hara's clean crazy. If he goes
after Marshall Field & Co. like
he did Rosenwald. and Mandel,

out of existencep'
Even two members of the COM
mission-Senators Tossle and
Woodard-looked at each other
with raised eyebrows.
Out in the corridor, the voice of
a blue-robed woman missionary

raised barshly.

The sweat stood on his fore

bit his lower lip; he fidgeted in
his chair; he became defiant; then
sullen; then defiant again

And the very atmosphere of the
room breathed of new and won
derful things; of the dawning of
a new day for all womankind; of
a new liberty rising from the
depths. ........
You could see it in the faces of
the people. You could see it in
Barratt O'Hara's grave, young
face, that makes you think at
times of Altgeldt; at times of
Lincoln. You could see it in Vir-

forward in her seat, listening
tensely, eagerly, while her face

WOULD ARM CITIZENS
Proposition to the Northeast
Washington Association.
SAFER STREETS DEMANDED
Claimed That Increased Hold Ups
Call for Radical Action-Matter
Referred to Committee.

The question of allowing citizens to
arm themselves at night. so that they
can protect themselves from footpads.
was warmly discussed last night at a
meeting of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association. but the matter was
referred to a committee
w. S. Bransom caused the discussion
by proposing that the association favor
the granting of permits to citizens of
good standing and known probity and
discretion to carry firearms for their pro-
lection when they are compelled to be
upon the streets at night. He also urged
that the association request Congress to
increase the police force as soon as pos
sible He explained that he submitted his
resolution in view Of the alarming in
crease in the reported number Of hold
ups.
II am told" continued Mr. Bransom,
that part of the resolution is not ethical,
but what We want to do is to start some
thing, and l think the resolution will
do it..
Mr.. Bransom said the police depart
ment might swear in a great many spe-
cial policemen. giving them the right to
carry weapons.
Time for Citizens to Act.
W. J. Frizzell said it is we'll known that
it is dangerous to venture out at night on
certain thoroughfares.
I'VE have little protection and few po-
licemen.'' he said, "and some of the lights
we had have been taken from us. and
now it is about time for us to take the
matter in hand 1t is time to have bet
ter police protection or be permitted to
carry arms.
And" he added, every woman should
be permitted to carry a revolver in her
muff SO she can protect herself If at
tackled.
Congress ought to grant the police
force a substantial Increase One of the
greatest abuses in connection with the
police force is the detailing of many
of its members to guard legations and
residences of federal officials Congress
should devise some means to protect such
places, but it should be done by special
force"
