CITIZENS TO OPPOSE
DRAW BRIDGE PLANS
Minnesota Avenue Improvement Asso-

About Reclaiming Lands.

A resolution opposing an appropriation
OF 200 for placing a draw in the Penn
sylvania Avenue bridge has been sent to
the District committees OF Congress by

sociation. This association feels that this
sum is entirely toe large to spend for
n temporary Improvement when tho only
reason given is for the purpose OF get

purpose OF continuing the reclamation
| work. Il Is believed that II would be q
much cheaper proposition to dismantls
the small number OF dredges that will
be required to reach the work beyond
this bridge, and it has been SO recon-
mended by the association.
The young men connected with En-
manuel Episcopal Church are at present
engaged in soliciting funds for the pur-
pose Of purchasing athletic apparatus to
be installed in the parish hall Of the
church in V Street. and already have
been successful in securing a large sum.

HUMANE EXPERIMENT
WILL BE TRIED HERE
Combination of Business and Philan-
thropy May Result in Better
Housing Conditions.

An experiment. which is an interesting
combination of business and philanthropy,
Is soon to be undertaken in Washington.
The housing committee of the Woman's s
Welfare Department, National Civic Fed
Grafton, has organized along the lines of
the Octavia Hill Association, in Philadel-
phia, in an attempt to improve alley
homes of Washington.
A well-known social worker is to be en-
ployed who, with two reliable volunteers,
will collect tent weekly or bi-weekly and
will act as friendly visitors to the various
families, noting the needs OF the houses
at the time of the rent collections and also
the needs of the fanatics themselves.
A number of houses have already been
turned over to the welfare committee for
the collection of rents at the regular COM
mission. and these houses, which are oc-
cupied by colored people, will serve as a
basis for the experiment.
This work is not to take the place of
any permanent improvement OF alleys,
but is an attempt to make conditions
there more livable, while awaiting leg
islation, by bringing landlords and ten
ants into closer cooperation and SYM
pathy, by raising standards of house
keeping by securing general cleanliness
and even beauty in the immediate sur
roundings.

agement of the Society of the Daughters
OF the American Revolution at the hall
yesterday.
The bill. which was introduced in the
House by Representative Towner at the
request OF Mrs. Matthew T. Scott. the
president general Of the society. names
the Secretary of War as one of a COM
mission to supervise the expenditure OF
the money appropriated. and this pro-
vision, with the fact that the Federal
government would provide funds for the
new building. would give the government
a Jurisdiction over the Memorial Conti-
mental Hall, some members of the So
ciety contended. The resolution to pro-
vide changes was accordingly adopted.
In order that only such news OF the
ID. A r. gets into the public press. the
board voted yesterday to establish a cen.
sorship of the press during the session:

The Washington herald., 1913-02-06

Citizens opposed to the District traffic
regulations as they stand are confident
of victory in their campaign to have the
regulations reduced TO understandable
form. In fact
"The regulations cannot stand-they
will fall OF their own weight" II was
predicted last night.
The Washington Board OF Trade COM
mittee, of which Leroy Mark is chair
man, will not wait. however. for the
regulations TO prove their own need of
simplifcation, but through n subcom-
mittee will present to the Commission
ers an amended form OF the new rules
and ask that the less involved and less
intricate system under which the wagon
and automobile drivers and the riders
and the pedestrians OF the Capital are
to be governed be adopted.
Upon a main contention that educa-
ton OF the drivers is the chief pur-
pose of traffic regulations OF any sort,
the advocates Of simple rules expect to
base most of their arguments Mr.. Mark
and the members of his committee as
sert that the rules adopted by the Com
missioners cannot be understood by most
drivers, and that. therefore, the reGula-
tions fail to accomplish anything except
confusion.
Calls Regulation Unreasonable.
Until the subcommittee is appointed by
Mr.. Mark TO simplify the traffic reSula-
tions, it Is expected that no action will
be taken by the Board of Trades repre-
sentatives. Roy c. Mcdonald was taken
to the Police Court yesterday on a charge
of violating a part Of the new regula-
tions, designated Section - of Article l.,
which is as follows:
"A driver passing into a circle or inter-
section of more than two streets shall,
in his progress. follow the right curbs
nearest the building lines. and at a speed
not exceeding eight miles per hour"
Mr.. Mcdonald was charged with having
driven an automobile northward in Yer
mont Avenue into Thomas Circle. and
then turned directly to the left into NJ
Street, on which he proceeded west.
Mr.. McDonaId's attorney moved that
the Information against his client be
quashed on the ground that the regula-
ton is unreasonable. The court, Judge
Pugh presiding, had not been supplied
with an of1cial copy OF the new traffic
regulations, and, therefore. did not go
into the merits of the case, hearing OF
which was postponed.
The regulations relating to traffic in
the circles had already been pointed
out by members of the Board OF Trede
committee as not being properly drawn.
By compelling all traffic to keep to the
outside curb of the circles, and move
in the same direction, IL Is contended.
the regulations will prevent the utiliza-
ton of a large part of the circles.
Decision to BE Delayed.
1t would seem. however, from the
Mcdonald yesterday. that. court pro-
