|NDORSES THE PROGRAM
| OF CITIZENS COMMITTEE
Georgetown Association to Aid in
Presenting Districts Case at
Congressional Inquiry.

Approval of the plans OF the citizens
committee to present the claims of the
District before the joint select congress
sional committee which will examine
into the fiscal relations between ths
federal government and the District
was given in a resolution adopted last
night at the regular meeting OF the
Georgetown Citizens Association in
Potomac Savings Bank Hall.
After outlining the action of the citi-
zens' committee. the resolution says:
The Georgetown Citizens Association.
recognizing the wisdom oFcentralizing
the efforts of the citizens in upholding
their rights, hereby voices its approval
of the plan to present the claims of the
District through that committee, and
authorizes the officers and executive
committee of this association to CO.
operate with said committee. should
the occasion arise where they may be

executive committee, presented the
resolution in behalf of that committee.
In Interest of Health.
Complaint against the overlooking Of
ash carts to the extent that dust flies over
the street Of Georgetown. was made by
DR.. Howard E. Anes. u S. N, retired
chairman Of the public health committee
of the organization He also complained
against the wracking howls Of
night-prowling cats and suggested tax
for them; complained of the use of soft
coal. declaring there was an unenforced
law against its use, and protested against
the throwing of refuse on the streets, par
ticularly in front Of fruit stands Of
Georgetown.
B. A Bowles called attention to the un-
improved condition of W place and Hall
place, and asked that the attention Of the
Commissioners be called to It, In dry
weather, he said. the houses were filed
with red dust. while in wet weather there
was nothing but red clay all around ]
Holdsworth Gordon called attention to
tne PROBABILITY that If the improvement
was made the owners would have to nav
for 1t, but Mr.. Bowles said they were will
ing to do SO.
Waiting Station Refused.
Spencer Gordon, secretary Of the as
sociation, read a letter from the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Company,
declining to erect a waiting station at
Wisconsin avenue and P street,
transfer point. The letter sated that
the railroad had consistently refused
requests for permission to erect build
ings at this point because to do SO
would obstruct the view of motormen,
and would tend to cause accidents.
AS it Is now, the motormen have an
lnobstructed view Of the compound
curve which the railroad line makes
at this point The letter also stated
that the necessity of transferring at
this point now was not great in view
Of the through car service that had
been inaugurated.
The following new members were
elected: H. E. Holdridge, John D.
Donovan, ]. Arthur. Trunnell and Will
liam Price.

more than the usual amount of Vapor
for this early in the season.
Peace talk is being produced in lib
eral quantities, much along the plan
of last season. The old rumor that
five Federal magnates will be taken
care of by the National league and
three by the American assn and In
ternational league is still popular and
sounds more plausible than most
yarns.
There is only one hitch. Every ru-
NOR that puts Charley Weeghman at
the head of the Cubs moves the team
to the North Side and it is not be-
ieved Charley Murphy would accede
to such a plan. Murphy hold the
whip hand He has long lease on
Cub park and an agreement calls for
the team to play there. Charley nat
urally would hate to lose the rental
coin, and the only way he can be pla-
Gated is by lump sum.
The American league seems to
have little part in the negotiations,
but Ban Johnson and Comiskey may
have few words to say later Ban
doesn't like the idea of jumpers from
his league being reinstated, and
Commy may block the plan, now only
a dream, to have Fielder Jones re-
place Miller Higgins as manager of
the st. Louis Cardinals.
In all of these yarns great stress is
laid on the money dropped by the
Federal leaguers last season, but it
is cinch that the organized fellows
also suffered in the Season recently
ended.
When the Braves and Athletics
rang down the curtain on the 1914
season baseball magnates sent a
booming sigh heavenward and pri-
vately expressed the opinion that the
old game had gone through about as
lean a year financially as was posi-

baseball-very lean in spots.
Of the sixteen clubs in the Amer
lean and National circuits which
started in the annual derby last April
it is doubtful if more than half a
dozen can show balance on the
right side of the ledger today. Mag
mates, of course, are touchy on such
subjects and actual figures are not
obtainable, all of which, however,
does not alter the fact that they did
not spend any fortunes for oil to keep
their turnstiles from getting hot
boxes.
A close race saved the National
league from probably the worst sea-
son in its history Never in history
were eight clubs in the race after
July, as they were this year. Yet,
Notwithstanding all this, four of the
clubs Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, st.
Louis and Chicago-lost money, if
the truth were known.
The Braves pulled through mainly
because of their prestige as cham
pions, and because of the possibility
of their staging another famous
squirt. The Giants always have
certain prestige on the road, and
this, with the huge rental exacted
from the Yanks for the Polo grounds,
enabled them to pull through by a
narrow margin. The Phillies as
champions made money, of course,
and the Dodgers, with a first division
club - the first in years = got by.
Charley Ebbets and W. F. Baker are
reported to have made neat sums
because their salary lists are the low
est in the league.
The profits of the Braves and
Giants were extremely thin. Nc
Graw, with a heavy salary list which
he couldn't get rid of because of long
term contracts, skated on thin ice

him some clothes. asked him IL he

one son, who was bank cashier but

his name was never spoken in the house

and said: I've found your father. Send
me some money to help him" He wrote
back and said for me never to mention
his fathers name to him again, that Il
wasn't ever spoken around the house and
that his father was forgotten. / replied:
You miserable, low-down wretch. You
can't disown your father and refuse to
help him because he is down and out

And when I had finished and had given
the invitation seven or eight OF those
that heard me came forward and said
they wanted to live for Christ. 1 asked
the superintendent why they couldn't
learn to talk. and he said because they
were deaf. II someone had plugged up
your ears when you were born you
couldn't have talked. They had never
heard a word and didn't know what IL
sounded like. and although they had Just
as good threats as some OF you they
couldn't say a word
