FOR NEW PLAYGROUND
Southwest Citizens Told by Oyster to
Make Determined Fight for
Civic improvements.

That ir the Southwest Citizens AS
sociation would present the facts regard
ing the necessity for Fairgrounds for
white children in South Washington to
Congress, 1t would take some action to-
ward providing the necessary funds. was
the statement Wednesday night by f. w.
Oyster, assistant assessor Of the District.
in an address before the association at
the jefferson School.
Mr. Oyster said that unless the citi-
zens of Washington get busy and make
their needs known to Congress II is al
most an impossibility for that body to
understand conditions here.
He said that a closer investigation OF
the property values In southwest Wash
ington is being made this year than
for number Of years and that when
the rates of taxation are made known
the citizens of that section will have
reason to be pleased.
President Benjamin r. Lindas was
instructed to appoint committee to
appear before the House District Com
mittee and make q direct request for
the establishment of at least one play
ground for the white children in South
Washington.

ARE CROWDED
Large Number Of Prisoners
Shows Workhouse Facili-

SEEKS PAROLE POWERS
SEEKS PAROLE POWERS
Charities Body Asks Commissioners to
Request lndeterminate Sentences
and Direct Commitments.

The indetcrminate sentence and parole
OF prisoners sent to Occoquan is urged by
the Board OF Charities in it's annual re-
port to the Commissioners yesterday. The
report states that the present system of
short sentences is the greatest barrier to
the reformation of prisonefs in the Dis
trict
Under the boards plan. prisoners would
be given a maximum sentence OF two
years. subject to release by parole off,
GERS at any earlier date. These parole
officers would be called upon to keep
track Of the paroled prisoners until the
maximum sentence had expired.
In connection with this recommends.
to ask Congress to enact legislation de-
fining the work of Occoquan and the
powers OF its officials.
The workhouse has been established
by virtue of certain brief enactments in
appropriation bills. and no comprs hsnsiys
statute determining definitely the status
of the institution-setting forth its powers
and limitationS-has ever been enacted =
reads the report.
The board recommends that the round.
about manper" OF sending prisoners Il
OccoGusp via the washington Asylum
and District Jail be abolished. and thai
the courts be empowered to commit direc
to the workhouse.
There was practically no change. in tn,
number Of persons committed to Deco
guam during the year. according to tn,
report. which includes the following fig
ures: For the fiscal year 1913. the dali,
average population was $50; for 1914. /
was sH. while for 1915. II was s,2 TIL.
actual number of persons committed dur
ing the year was 6.472. as compared will
s,aoo the preceding year"
The report deplores the fact that tn
large number Of prisoners makes II neces
sary to have two prisoners in one cell.
Although the report shows a decided In
crease in the population at the Tuber
culosis Hospital during the past year. 1
states that this does not Indicate an In
crease in the disease in the District.

Power Company for monthly reports OF
the number of customers supplied. the
amount of current consumed, and the
amount of revenues collected from the

The commission has forwarded to Con-
gress a request that the law governing
car vestibules ."for the relief of street
car motormen" be repealed. The law
names specific dates within whic cars
without vestibules may not be operated
During certain seasons the weather is
such, the commission states. that open
cars can be operated without injury to
the health of the motormen and with
considerable benefit to the public; and
since other matters affecting street rail-
way operations are controlled by regu,
lations of the commission, II appears that
the matter of street car vestibules also
should be so regulated

erable ice as the pastor OF the Madi-

Good Wars and Bad.
There are good wars and bad wars.
Our Revolutionary War was a good
war, for II established civilization on

partly a good war. for IL abolished
slavery and Federal sovereignty and
the autonomy OF the States. 1t made
that condition possible in both Canada
and Australia I believe that one OF
the results of this war will be to
bring about much the same thing III
the British Empire"
DIR. Eaton has a sense Of humor as
well as a lot of red-blooded Ameri-
canism. The State of New Jersey nap
pened to be mentioned.

Merchants declare the volume of trade
Is unprecedented for this date of the

trade, which is Increasing with the ap-
proach of Christmas. Stocks Of mer-
chants are being drainsd to fill demands
and supplies are being rushed to WASH

One good result of early shopping, a
merchant said. is that the customer has
more time to inspect the display of goods
