ice cream was served.
Commissioner Newman said the Dis
trict Commissioners. realizing that the
citizens Of the District had no voice in
their government, were endeavoring to
do things just as they would do them
if the people governed themselves.
Refers to Loan Shark Legislation.
AS an Illustration, he told what had
been done in connection with the loan
shark legislation, under which, with
the assistance of the corporation coun-
sci, he said, $4,000 had been restored
also referred to the request of the as
ISOLATION for needed street improve

had been made, II he would drop in
at his office this morning or any day
during the week."
Chairman Fernald Of the committee
on streets reported as to needed i'm
provements to the streets and public
reservations at Petworth, and later
spoke with reference to the women's
civic organization of Petworth, dis
claiming that the association had re-
buffed it. but stating that 1t simply de-

Of WHISKY
KILLS ONE, INJURIES TWO.
Blast Causes Barrel Of Gin Also to
Let Go and Saloon Is Set
on Fire.

An investigation is being conducted by
the fire department to determine the
cause Of an explosion Of a barrel Of
whisky, in the saloon Of Mrs. Anna
Baker, e35 I'd street southwest, yester-
day afternoon. Frank Lawson. colored.
whose home was on Delaware avenue
southwest, was killed as q result Of the
explosion, and Festus Croxton, colored,
121 K street southwest, received severe
burns. Samuel Springmann, % K street
southwest went to the assistance Of the
victims and was slightly burned.
Frank Lawson was standing near the
barrel in which the explosion occurred.
and before he could be dragged from
the blaze an explosion occurred in a
barrel Of gin. The fire spread through the
room and threatened the destruction of
the building. Noise Of the explosion was
heard a long distance from the saloon,
and Mr.. Springmann was the first to re-
spond and make an effort to rescue Law
son.
AT the time of the explosion Festus
Croxton was standing in front OF the bar
tender, and Lawson. it is said. was the
only other person in the room. Mrs.
Baker was in another part Of the house.
Think Lawson Was Smoking.
The cause of the explosion probably
will not be determined, but 1t was sug-
,eested that Lawson may have been
smoking and that sparks from his sigar
were responsible for what happened.
When the explosion occurred in the
whisky barrel, it is said, the head Of the
barrel was blown against the ceiling. and
a few seconds later the second explo-
sion occurred.
An alarm of fire brought several COM
panies of firemen to the scene and the
fire was soon under control. Lawson and
Croxton were hurried to Emergency Hos
pital. while Springmann. who was only
slightly burned, went home. Lawson died
about three hours after he was burned.
Mrs. Baker. whose husband, BENJAMIN
B. Baker died a few weeks ago, suffered
a severe nervous attack. She was taken
to the house of neighbors and attended
by a physician. An investigation of the
affair was made by the acting coroner
and a certificate of accidental death
given. It is thought that Croxton will
recover.
Damage to the building and stock, it is
thought, will amount to fully $500. The
building is owned by Bernard Leonard.
