PROMISE OF OPEN CARS
FOR SUMMER SEASON
Improvement in View for Con-
gress MISREPRESENTATION
Holds Business Session.

Citizens of Congress Heights are to
| have a number of large open cars operat-
ed to the suburb this summer, according
to Information conveyed to the Public I'm
provement Association last evening by
Edward Blaine. chairman of the railroad
committee He reported that these cars
were now being equipped with airbrakes
so that they may be operated to the SUBJ
urb.
Discussion followed regarding the prop
osition Of inducing the railway company
to operate all of its cars on the Anacostia
stopping them in Anacostia. Upon mo-
ton of A. E. Mckay committee was
| appointed to place this matter before the
utilities commission within the next week.
This committee will be composed of Ed
| ward Blaine. chairman; A. e. Mckay.
Milton J. F'illius. Edward ]. Newcomb
| and Francis Waller.
Regret for Oysters Retirement.
Much regret was expressed over the
| resignation of James F. Oyster as presi-
| dent of the board 81 education. and reso-
lutions to that effect were adopted. The
association feels, it was stated. that Mr.
Oyster has been more than liberal in his
dealings with the school in their suburb
and believes that the present structure
and the fact that an appropriation is now
available for an addition to the school
are largely due to his efforts
An effort will be made to secure al
least portion of old Fort Carroll In Con-
gress Heights for use as public park
Gustave Bender. chairman of the special
committee appointed to investigate this
matter, submitted a report, in pursuance
of which request is to be made to ac-
quire ground west of Nichols avenue. II
is the desire of the association to have
the bill introduced at the special session
| of Congress.
The association declined to take any
action relative to indorsing any one for
| the position as Commissioner of the Dis
trict, the general expression being that
| 1t will be satisfied with President Will
sons selections.
The members of the association were
much disappointed over the report made
| last night that the automobile fire engine
| which is to be installed in the house a,
| Congress Heights to supplant some Of the
chemical apparatus will not be placed In
! service until the late spring: 1t is stated
the engine is being used in another su-
burb until certain repairs can be made
| The members seemed to feel that as long
as the apparatus was purchased for the
Heights 1t should have been placed there
| as soon as it was received.

Interest in Cleanup Week.

The members were urged to take an
interest in the clean-up-week which is
being SO generally undertaken at the
present time, and efforts are to be made
to have the property owners keep their
yards in as good condition as possible.
1t was the general opinion that this alone
would have more weight on the future
development of the suburb than would
anything else, as it would tend to attract
persons to the. vicinity.
Work has been begun on the erection
of the water tower at 10th street and
Alabama avenue, and 1t Is stated 1t will
be completed within about a month. This
tower will serve water to all Of the sur
rounding territory not now covered by
the city system. Work will also be start
ed, it was stated, on the tower at Good
Hope in the next few days.
The association felt that more members
could attend the meetings II the date were
changed, and after g. general dircussion
it was decided that meetings hereafter
would be held on the second Wednesday
in each month. At the meeting next
month a smoker and entertainment Is to
be held and committee consisting OF
Milton J. Fillius. A. Z. Mckay ana
Charles F. Purdy was appointed to ar
range for it. An auditing committee was
also appointed, consisting of Messrs.
Purdy, James and Weber, to audit the
books of the association.

BuIIish Manipulation Fails to
Sustain Market Dur
ing Morning.
LOSSES ARE RETRIEVED
WHEN SELLING CEASES
Profit Taking in Many Important Is
sues Follows Rise of Last
Ten Days.

NEW YORK, April Publish manipu-
lation failed to sustain the market dur
ing the morning in the face Of profit
taking sales. The extent of the rise
during the last ten days, reaching five
to ten points among many important is
sues. was sufficient to invite realizing.
Foreign news was less cheerful than
during the previous days on heavy buy
ing for European account The collapse
of various German banking institutions
and intimations that the Balkan allies
and the powers might conflict over the
terms of peace reminded spectators that
the foreign situation was still to be reck-
oned with.
Declines ran to the extent of a point
in some Of the important issues. Rumely
lost nearly five points on reiteration or
reports that the dividend was likely to be
passed. Bonds were irregular.
Trading Active at Opening.
Trading was active at the opening. and
price changes were irregular. Union Pa
cific and Steel were heavy. Gains of about
a point were made by Lehigh Valley, In
terborough preferred. Beet Sugar, Chicago
Great Western and General Electric.
The opening uncertainty was succeeded
by a general decline in prices. in which
most of the list sold substantially below
yesterday close. Union Pacific and Ches-
apeake and Ohio gave way one and Ca
madam Pacific two points.
Nearly all of the forenoon declines
were retrieved when the market start
ed up sharply on the cessation Of trad
ers' selling. Several SpecialtieS made
handsome advances to the accOmpant-
ment of rumors of possible dividend
increases. Lehigh Valley gained l and
Rubber = points.
Prices held we'll in midafternoon despite
q considerable falling off In demand.
