DESIRE OF PRESIDENT
/ FOR BEAUTIFUL CITY
D. A. Edwards Says Head of
Nation Advocates General
Betterment of Capital.

Betterment Of living conditions, sani-
tary, moral and intellectual, is the idea
of a beautiful Washington entertained
by President Wilson, asserted D. A. Ed
wards. president of the Federation Of
Citizens Associations. giving as his au-
thority the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia. Mr.. Edwards was
speaking at the annual meeting last
night of the MidcIty Citizens Asso-
citation, assembled at 1909 7th street.
This point of view, the Commission
ers informed Mr.. Edwards, was being
urged upon them by the President as
the keynote of their administration
and of their plans for the development
of the National Capital. Mr.. Edwards
said he found the Commissioners in full
sympathy with this idea, and he him.
self shared 1t.
AS an organization of citizens within
sections of the city that have little to
ask in the way Of locality benefits, Mr..
Edwards urged the association to con-
slider and stand for the general needs
of the community. The needs of the
poor, he insisted, while today regarded
as subjects for public administration,
are bound to be relieved by legislation
in the near future.
Dental Care of School Pupils.
He advocated dental care for school
children. a corps Of visiting nurses to the
poor, who can teach them flrst-aid meth
ods and other ways to care for che Ill and
injured; public laundries. where the poor
can find relief from overheated crowded
home conditions and perform their work
under the best environment: free shower
baths connected with such public laun-
dries: woman health inspectors, to inspect
the homes and to educate the housewives
| in housekeeping and cooking.
He congratulated the Midcity Citizens
Association upon its conservatism. declar-
| ing that only by conservatism could the
best results be attained. Citizens associa-
tions with radical views, he set forth,
have little influence, and finally lose by
shrinkage in membership what small i'm
portance they might have had
Officers Elected.
A. ]. Driscoll was unanimously re-elect-
ed president of the association.
The other incumbent officers were also
reelected without contest. They are:
Vice president. Dr. William T.. Gill; secre-
tary, Frank ]. Bresnahan, and treasurer,
Henry X. Behrens. Charles s. Shreve
was appointed delegate and Thomas Deg
nan alternate to the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations. -
Reply Of the Commissioners was read
to the request that the board inspect 7th
street from New York to Florida avenues,
with view to observation of its needs in
| the way of repaving. The Commission
ers regretted that the time needed for
the preparation of the budget prevented
their doing SO now, but promised
to inspect the street before the budget
was completed. The secretary, read his
acknowledgment of this letter, in which
he called attention to grass growing on
the streets, and the noisy conditions
which made the use of telephones almost
impossible. President Driscoll told of a
visit to the engineer department, where
he was informed that the Improvement
asked for would be embodied in the
budget.

Judicial Han8inSS
Assured By The
Supreme Court

Atlanta, Nov. 13-This appears
to.be q very unhealthy year for
murderers and homicides in Geor-
gia. Out of ten cases appealed
from the lower courts, the supreme
court of the state has just affirmed
nine convictions, and has granted
a new trial IN only ore case.
The docket this fall is unusually
heavy in homicide cases., and a
number of important murder cases
will still be heard. If the proper
ton Of affirmed convictions is kept
up the gallow trees in Georgia
will bear heavy fruit during the
1914 season.
In the case of Hall VS.. the state,
murder, the old rule against courts
of review interfering with the
trial Judge in the matter of de.
termining the alleged bias on the
part of jurors was reaffirmed. II

started no one seems to know, but
it was reported that a live wire
was the cause. The FIRE was soon
extinguished but after consider,

AIKEN, s. C.. Feb. 3.-Notwith-
standing the fact that a very strong
feeling pervades this town that Fred
erick o. Beach will be acquitted to-
morrow at his long deferred and twice
postponed trial for assault and battery
with intent to kill his wife. Mrs. Ca
milla Havemeyer Beach, on the night
OF February 20, 1912, County Prose
cutor Gunter declared tonight that he
had a prima facie case against the
New Yorker, supported by testimony
secured from witnesses during the
day, and that he proposed to put be-
fore the jury tomorrow the circum
stantial evidence he had collected, az
firm in the belief as when he obtain
ed an indictment from the grand jury
last April that he had good case.
He denied unequiyocaliy the state
ment attributed to him yesterday that
he did not expect to secure convtc-
ton.
In striking contrast tn the half
hearted way the prosecution faces to-
morrow's contest, implying. IL not ad-
hitting, the improbability OF convict
ing one of the wealthy winter colony,
whose presence means so much to the
material welfare of the town, Is the

the whole matter would be laughed

M'CURK. OWNER OF
SUICIDE HALL. DEAD

NEW YORK. Feb. 3.---The word
spread along the Bowery today that
John II. McGurk. former owner of
Suicide hall and other dives. which
once infested that highway. is dead
at Pasadena, California. and all such
members who survive were sad.
McGurk has many friends in the
days, despite the dive he kept, where
Knockout drops were administered to
sailors or any one worth robbing. and
where girls, who sickened of the hard
life, drank carbolic acid so frequent
ly that the place took the name from
this.
McGurk has had tuberculosis for
some years, and Elk years ago went
West TO Try to save himself.
McGurk once gave this 81 his
creed:
Most of the women who come into
my place have been on the down
grade too long to think OF reform
ing. I never pushed girl down
hill, nor did ever refuse helping
hand to one who wanted to climb"

J. Gallagher. the man who shot
Mayor Gaynor, OF New York, nearly
two years ago at Hoboken. N j..
died today at the New Jersey State
Hospital for the Insane IN TINS city;
Death was due to paresis. He had
been at the State hospital since June,
1912, having been transferred there
from the New Jersey State prison,
where he had been sentenced to serve
twelve years on charge OF assault
upon Street Commissioner William
Edwards. OF New York city, who was
with Mayor Gaynor at the time.
Gallagher was never prosecuted
for shooting the mayor. This was at
Mayor Gaynor's request.
Galiagher's act was prompted by
disappointment from having been dis
charged from municipal position in

may help sustain themselves as well
as others In the home, while the
present City home building may be
utilized as a city hospital
