Residents Seek Betterment
of District and Plan Action
to Obtain improvements
on Streets.
MEET AGAIN APRIL 8
Political Discussions to Be
Eliminated and Growth of
Suburb to Be Sole Aim of
Club.

Cooperative organization among
residents of Richmond again found ex-
preston last night This time it was
in Fairview Although only a few
residents of that district attended an
organization session in the Sebastapol
school house, the spirit of "get-togeth-
er" for FairvieW's improvement pre-
vailed.
The matter of electing officers and
ratifying a constitution was deferred
until the next meeting, set for We'd
nesday night, April 8. Owing to the
fact that few were in attendance, the
forming of an organization was set
aside so that more might participate.
To take charge of the canvass of
every home in the surburb a commit
tee of five. F. A. Brown, J. P. Evans,
John Snyder, Frank Haller and Geo.
Meyers, was appointed. This CON-
mittee will also formulate constitu-
ton and write bylaws. These will be
ratified at the next session.
Many Improvements Needed.
At this time many improvements
lighting system. Ed Wilkins, chair
ence with the president of the board
he was informed that by next fall the
city would re-arrange the lighting sys-
TENS and at that time more lights
would be installed.
Councilman Burdsall urged the for
nation of the organization to benefit
the suburb. He said that when i'm
provements were needed in other
parts Of the city some organization
in that part would appear before coun-
Gil, but that the Fairview people never
asked for improvements and were not
represented by delegation Of men
taxpayers when matters were present
ed to council.
1t was decided to conduct the asso-
citation, which probably will be known
as the Fairview Improvement Asso-
citation, on non-partizan lines with the
elimination Of political discussion. A
similar organization existed some six
or seven years ago, but it was split
owing to a supposed rivalry between
the residents on the hill district and
those in the hollow.
Pleads for Harmony. .-..,
- This rfES3xy succeeded hseakfng
the club and since that time there
had been no concerted efforts for the
two district residents were always in

F. D. Grant in speaking on the or
ganization told the men that such riv
airy should not exist and that in CO
| operation only could improvements be
accomplished.
It was first debated whether or not
to limit the membership to property
holders only, or to include freeholders
and property holders. After few
minutes spirited discussion it was
agreed that any one who owned prop
erty or had any interests whatever ir
Fairview, even If a resident Of othe,
parts Of Richmond, would be granted
membership.
A small yearly assessment was sug
gested, but the matter was left to the
constitution committee.
The organization will be conducted
on similar lines as the South Side I'm
provement association and it is pro
posed to enter into cooperation with
other civic associations.

Apparently none the worse from the
rioting escapade engaged in last Sat

ans, Albert Arday Of Dayton, who
was laid up in the hospital with stom-

Robbins today in police court to an

Many Senators Favor POin-
dexter Resolution Calling
Upon President for Rea-
sons Favoring Legislation.
POSSIBLE FILIBUSTER
WORRY TO WILSON
Efforts to Discharge Inter-
Oceanic Canals Committee
May Strike Unexpected
Snag if Move Is Made.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Factdonal
lines were closely drawn in the senate
today in preparation for the fight over
repeating the free tolls clause OF the
Panama canal act.
The administrator ultimatum from
Senator Owen that only one week
should be taken by the committee on
inter-oceanic canals, and that longer
delay would be followed by a dis
scharge of the committee from consid-
Grafton OF the measure, was accepted
by opponents Of the repeal as a chal-
lenge.
Opponents of the measure asserted
today that before a wheel turns in the
repeal legislation they will attempt
to force president Wilson to give his
reasons for Wishing to nullify the free
tolls clause.
FiIibuster Threatened.
This was taken as threat to con-
duct a long filibuster. A strong ma
|jority Of the senate favors the Poin-
dexter resolution, calling upon the
president for his reasons. and by
working together, these foes Of the
administration could conduct fill
buster that would delay consideration
OF the actual measure for some time
to come.
A poll of the senate bears out the
claim that President Wilson has a ma
tority to support his demand for re-
peal. The majority. however, includes
several senators who want to amend
the Sims bill so that the United
States will not surrender its rights
over coastwise trade passing through
the canal
Senators Undecided.
There is evidence Of waver1ng IN
both lines. and polls are said to be
more or less inaccurate until after de-
bate on the floor has progressed a
considerable time.
Administration senators are not
mot sanguine over any proposed ef-
foft to discharge the inter-oceanic ca
sIuAls committee from consideration Of
fthe repeal bill. In the event the com
|mittee is deliberate in It's considera-
tion Of the measure. Such move, il
is predicted, will tend to retard pro
tgress of the measure.

HE LIKES CHICKENS
BUT GETS ARRESTED
Perry Wynn Stages "Chanti-
cleer Drama on Ft. Wayne
Avenue.

"Cockadoodle do, Cockadoodle do!"
in harsh clarion tones, the imitation
OF a barnyard king emulated noises
at the corner of FIT. Wayne avenue
and Sixth street, late yesterday after
noon.
Pedestrians halted and gazed all
around wondering just what was in
the air.
"Cockadoodle do, Cockadoodle do.''
again permeated the air.
Now make a noise like a rooster,
was the stern command heard.
For a minute the passersby looked
askance then located the source of the
sound.
On box at the side of a telephone
pole stood Perry Wynn, a laborer, at
tempting to relate to a pal of his
experiences as a chicken fancier and
giving, as he declared, correct i'm
initiation of his prize roosters.
When the pal refused to crow
like a rooster and tugged to get out
of Wynns grasp the fancier became
angry
But at this point of the "Chanti.
cleer" drama Patrol Chauffeur Wenger
interferred and after a few minutes
coaxing and telling Wynn where he
might see some more pet chickens,
the intoxicated man was placed into
the auto-patrol and taken to the city
Jail.
This morning he appeared before
Mayor Robbins and pleaded guilty to
the charge of ihtoxication and re-
ceived the 81 and costs fine. He went
to Jail.
John Zook, an Eastsider. who was
arrested on the corner of Sixteenth
and Main streets ON charges OF intoxi-
cation, pleaded guilty and went to
iail for eleven days.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

The honor system now being intro
duced in many prisons of the United
States is like the system necessarily
put into effect in Montenegro the
early part of last century. At that
time the adult male population, re-
member, was away fighting and
sometimes there was no one to spare
to guard the inmates of the prisons
when they were out for exercise.
One of them would then be given a
rifle and take over the duty of guard.
Messengers were also scarce and
prisoners were sent great distances
with messages.
So well could they be trusted that

Secretary Bryan. who is g. trustee Of
the university, in his address yesterday
emphasized the value of the union of
religion and learning toward universal
brotherhood and universal service. He
eulogized the men who have been in
strumental in the projection and even
tual Inauguration Of the university and
said the need voiced by George Washing
ton for a national seat of learning at
the National Capital had been filled. He
paid high tribute to President Wilson
in these words:
Mr.. Wilson represents as no other
President has done the union of learn
ing and religion. He was the first Presi-
dent to be taken from the higher edl-
cational system. He was the first chief
executive who in his lifework has been
the exponent of our educational system;
no President has brought more spiritual
conservation to his work than President
Wilson.
I'VE need education" he concluded
that will have a special impulse behind
it, and that will send out graduates not
to sit on the shoulders of the multitude,
but to get down by the multitude and
help to bear the burden"

The religion of humanity and the com

President Wilson's Address,

Scholarship, it seems to me-" said
President Wilson in his address, is the
mastery, the exact mastery and compre-
hension of great bodies of knowledge:
and the comprehension is more difficult
Tran the mastery. 1t is much easier to
acquire than it is to interpret, and yet
all knowledge is dead which is not in
terpreted. The vision of the scholar is
worth more to the world than his in
dustry. II is knowledge properly in
terpreted seen with vision of insight.
that is uniting the world, the spirits OF
the world"
The President told an anecdote of
Charles Lamb who said he was never
able to hate any man he knew. There
are races whom We despise' he added,
and ii generally turns out that We
despise them because do not know
them. We have not found the same COM
mon footing of humanity with which to
touch and deal with them.
The object of scholarship. the object
pf all knowledge. is to understand, is to
comprehend. is to know what the need of
mankind is. That is the reason. ladies
and gentlemen, why scholarship has
usually been more fruitful when asso-
ciated with religion. and scholarship has

Formal Opening.

With the American University. the
new national Methodist Episcopal School,
located on Potomac Heights commanding
view of the capital. now formally
opened by the President of the United
States, assisted by public officials,
church dignitaries and noted educators,
the board of trustees is busy arranging
details SO that the institution may begin
its actual work in September
Already there are more than 1900 ap-
plications for admission, from among
which careful selection is to be made.
One of the first efforts of the new uni
versity will be to send fellows to the
various institutions and state universities
throughout the country, in pursuance of
its object to make the scope of the insti-
tuition World-enfolding. Already a num-
Der of noted educators have been en-
rolled for these fellowships, and it is
proposed to send first into the field those
men and women most carefully trained
who will be on leave for the sabbatical
year from their regular chairs or pro-
fessorships The courses of the univer-
sity are TO be confined strictly to post
graduates.
