season for students of Georgetown Uni

studies, athletics, and other duties and
diversions, injected itself precipitously
into the field OF the drama and organized
the first dramatic club In the history of
the univezity-the Clover Club.
In the organization OF this club was TO
be found the factor that threatened to de-
velop into a rock upon which the finances
OF the boys should be wrecked. A dra-
matte club necessitated a form of drama
for its activities-and "The Maid of
Marchfeld'' was written. The musical
comedy, for such II is, needed an expert
enced stage director. and Maitre de Ballet
Caruana was engaged.
With his coming the field broadened.

brought from New York, and a half
hundred gowns provided for the bevy of
girls who were 10 show their sisters

far from 5000 when the curtain rises at
the Columbia Theater Friday afternoon.
The play will be taken on tour during

the Eastern cities will be visited.

]. BARTON MILLER'S
LAST HOPE VANISHES
Petition Of Embezzler for Review Of
His Conviction Lost in the
Supreme Court.
PREVIOUS CONVICTIONS STAND

The petition for a writ OF certiorari
for the review OF the conviction Of John
Barton Miller, former secretary-treasurer
of the defunct First Cooperative Build
ing Association of Georgetown by the
District Court OF Appeals was refused
yesterday by the United States Supreme
Court, thus removing the last hope en-
tertained by Miller's counsel of saving
Miller from a term in the penitentiary.
The issuance Of the writ was opposed
on the ground that Miller had been three
times convicted and that the sentences
In each conviction were the same
twenty years imprisonment-and that no
new evidence and no evidence of irregu-
laritIes in the conduct of the previous
trials had been introduced or could be
shown.
Miller was first tried before Justice
Stafford, and a verdict of guilty on two
counts Of the Indictment involving mis-
application of about 1900 was returned
A sentence OF twenty years was imposed.
On taking the case to the District Court
OF Appeals, a new trial was ordered, in

NEW CIVIC BODY
WANTSFRANCHISE
Committee Of Forty Formed
to Wage Popular Gov
ernment Fight.
MEET TOMORROW NIGHT
Members Carefully State They Are
Not Connected with ''Home
Rule Committee"
MEET TOMORROW NIGHT

To support the movement for the re-
storation of popular government in the
/ District, forty citizens of Washington's 8
business, professional and labor circles
have united in a committee, and will
hold their first meeting at the Public
| Library tomorrow night They believe
| that District affairs have reached such
\ a crisis, that a non-partisan organization
would be able to obtain from Congress
restoration of the franchise to the resi-
dents here.
The intention of the committee is that
1t shall be the rallying center for all
local organizations which favor self-gov-
ernment for the District. 1t has been
careful to announce that II has no CON-
nection with the Home Rule Commit
tee" which is contesting the appoint
ment of one Of the Commissioners.
The following declaration Of principles
is included in the committees initial an
nouncement:
I'VE believe that the people of Wash
ington are as capable OF self-government
as those of other American cities.
I'VE believe the Federal government
should pay its just and proper share of
the expenses of the government Of the
District, and that there should be re-
tanned such measure of Federal control
as may be necessary for the city as the
national capital and for its development
on a national scale.
United states should Pay Part.
I'VE believe that the District needs
more than a delegate in Congress, even
though such delegate be elected by the
people.
I'VE believe municipal suffrage and
local self-government are the rights of
the District people as american citizens.
I'VE do not propose to go back to the
conditions or the form of government
which existed in the District forty years
ago.
We urge the adoption of an up-to-
date, efficient, democratic form of city
government, as a primary requisite to-
ward making Washington the model city
of the republic.
An elective charter convention or pop
ular vote is desirable to permit the Dis
trict to express its wishes regarding the
essential features of any new system of
municipal government"

Improvement Of the public roads Of
the United States is to be greater this
year than ever, according to the re.
ports received from all parts of the
country by ex-Secretary Wilson Of the
United States department Of agricul-
ture. A joint committee Of congress is
engaged In an investigation of the
Feasibility Of federal aid in the con-
struction. improvement and mainte-
nance Of public highways. and a num-
Der OF the state legislatures have con-
sldered good road legislation. In con-
nection with the general impetus that
the good road movement has recently
mad in all parts of the country. the
director Of the Office of public roads
says:
Too much stress cannot be laid
upon the Importance Of maintenance in
connection with the work of improving
the roads. The people in nearly all the
states are filled with enthusiasm for
road improvement and are spending
enormous sums Of money in the con-
struction of superb roads.
To maintain the roads in good con-
uitlon year after year requires a con-
SIDERABLE annual outlay. but this out
'ay Is indefinitely less than the loss
winch must fall upon the people even
.uaiiy II they allow their roads to go
10 utter ruin. The thing for all advo-
Gates Of good roads to do is to urge
continuous. systematic maintenance
ana setting aside every year Of an
amount per mile estimated by the en-
gineer IN charge to be sufficient for
'ne maintenance Of the road-a course
winch must make for economy and
efficiency"
