ANAC0ST|ANS POSTPONE
ACTION ON PROHIBITION
Delay Ordered to Give Every Mem

The Anacostia Citizens Association
refrained from taking definite action on
the question of prohib bition In the Dis
trict at it's meeting last night on Mich
OILS avenue southeast. following dis
cussion of several Of the prominent cit
liens of the suburb. who opposed ac-
ton until notice was given every mem
Der that such an action would be taken.
Upon motion of William J. Latimer the
matter was laid on the table until the
next meeting of the association. and the
dry forces indicated that they would en-
deavor to secure a special meeting for
this purpose. Charles r. Burr, delega te
to the Federation of Citizens Associa- =
tions, asked for instructions as to how
he should vote when the matter was
presented before that body. This pre-
cipitated considerable discussion. some
claiming that the matter should not be
considered at all by the association nor
the federation, while others maintained
that it should.
William j. Latimer, chairman of the
special committee appointed to arrange
for a celebration to mark the compile
ton of the Nichols avenue improve
ment, made a report. which calls for
large meeting in the Masonic Hall,
when the District Commissioners, mem
bers of Congress, officials of the Dis
trict interested in the improvement, Of
ficials of the railway company and
members of various citizens organiZa-
tions will be invited. A band of music
will be in attendance and a buffet sup

thorized last night to solicit funds from
citizens of the community. The cele-
bration will likely he held the latter
part of December or early in January.
Indorse Examination Of Cooks.
The association gave it's unanimous
Endorsement to the proposition ad-
yanced by the Chamber of Commerce
requiring all cooks and handlers of
food in the District to submit to physi-
cal examination prior to their employ
1nent to prevent persons having COM
municable diseases froH occupying
these positions.
A letter was read from the Engineer
Commissioner Indicating that funds
were available for the improvement of
the r. B. road from Good Hope to the
District line and that condemnation
proceedings were now in progress to
acquire additional land for this i'm
proyement, and as soon as they were
completed the Improvement work
would be done. The road in question
is probably the worst stretch one en-
counters in leaving the District to go
to Maryland.
A letter was read from the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad in regard to secur-
ing a daily freight train to Anacostia
from Baltimore, which indicated that
the matter would be given considera-
ton at once and il conditions warrant
ed the action the service would be in
augurated.

MEASURES
FAVORED BY TAFT
Advocates "ReasonabIe Prep

Victory in 1916.

| CHICAGO. November II. National
preparedness for defense was advo-
| Gated by former President William H.
| Taft in an address here last night be-
fore the National Security League at a
banquet in a downtown hotel.
The present position of the nation
and its lack of adequate preparation
for defense. together with a review of
what additions to the army and navy
he considered advisable. were outlined
by Mr.. Taft. who said:
DO not let US sacrifice the national
security to an academic theory or the
wish to vindicate it.
Il find myself somewhere between
Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Roosevelt and others.
Utterly at variance with Mr.. Bryan's
view, but not going as far as Mr..
Roosevelt in the amount of preparation
needed or practicable said Mr.. Taft
For War Only to Stop Wrong.
Mr. Bryan says that no nation is
going to attack us, and that prepara-
ton makes us truculent and aggress-
i've Is it more likely that we shall
invite war because we are merely
ready to defend ourselves than that
nations will attack us because we are
helpleSSE lnefe is only one anSW ct 10
this question-our people are not for
war now or at any time except to stop
wrong. The assumption that all ma
tions will do us justice will not secure
Justice.
Speaking of the European war, Mr.
Taft outlined what he termed 'rea-
sonable preparation He said the
American navy should be equal to that
of Germany. Not the size of England's,
he said, because of Great Britains
60. ~ f~,,
years and because it has no standing
army"
He said American coast defenses were
as good as any in the world, but that
the navy needed a 80 per cent increase,
including $4,000 men and 900 officers
creased to 125,000 men and the stand
ing army to $4,000, with a volunteer
reserve of 100000 men.
Would Triple Mobile Army.
Mr.. Taft said that by a standing army
of $4,000 men he meant the mobile
forces in the United States proper. ex-
elusive of those used for coast defense
or in the various dependencies. He
said the mobile army in the United
States proper today was 5000 men.
Speaking of the administration de-
Tense plans. he said: The board of in
VentorS Is as impractical as q. board of
opera singers" board of naval ex-
perts was needed. He declared, how
ever. that the tchange of heart of the
administration as to defense is good
sign, and we should welcome it" The
Philippine policy of the administration
he termed misleading and foolish" ="
and Of the recognition of Carranza
said: I'VE hope Carranza will win--if
not we lose our bet and we shall be
nearer than ever to Intervention by
our policy
Says He Is Out of Politics
Former President Taft told news
paper men that he was out of politics,
and added:
las citizen, l may say without quail
iication that Elihu Root of New York
is the one man who answers the re-
quirements of the time for the presi-
dency."
Mr.. Taft said he looked for a repub-
lican victory in 1916. but that the
verdict would not be as decisive as it
would have been had not the European
war intervened. With the war there
had come a measure of prosperity.

There were rumors that the fire was
of incendiary origin due to the belief
that the company was engaged in
making material for war purposes. Off,
cials of the concern, however, do not
believe this, stating that because the
plant is working night and day there
would have been little opportunity for
setting the place on fire.
When the blaze was first discovered
some of the employees attempted to ex-
tinguish it, but were not successful.
There were about $50 men employed in

During the progress of the fre row

running back to the burned structure

in danger of destruction. The occu-

Craig rose and put on his hat and

Kennedy and I came at last to the
place on the West side where the
crooked streets curved of.
Instead Of keeping on until he came
to the place we sought, he turned OFF
and quickly slipped behind the shelter

in the fence and he bent down, gaz-

Across the lot was the new hang

could see an evil-countenanced crook
Sinking along. He mounted the steps
and rang the bell, turning as he
waited.

evil. Under cover, the crook made
the sign of the Clutching Hand twice

pered Kennedy with satisfaction. He
hurried to a telephone booth, where
he called several numbers. Then we
returned to the laboratory.

They fairly gasped and looked at 1t

placed a tiny drop in a receptacle
