the Congress Organization Commit

Hotel and then at Aeolian Hall,
chapter in the history of the Congress
Movement has been closed For near
ly two consecutive years the struggle
between the two factions has been
going on. The fight was over the
scope of the Congress and it's sover-
eighty. The one faction advocated
Congress of unlimited scope and with
full sovereignty that its power of ac
ton should not be crippled. The
Congress should be the highest Jewish
body in this country and should stand
above every other organization. The
other faction refused to recognize
supreme Jewish representative body
unless this body was declared to be
of a temporary character and estab-
lished only with the object of demand
ing equal rights for the Jews, in the
lands where they are oppressed. There
were differences of opinion as to the
time when the Congress should con-
vene. But these differences of opin-
ion are of minor consideration in
comparison to the differences of prin-
ciple and other higher problems. To
the one faction the Congress was to
be a productive and fructifying ma
tional Jewish organization and to the
other faction meeting of Jewish del
egates to consider the question of
equal rights for the Jews, wherever
they are deprived of such.
It is said that the last meeting of
the Congress Organization Commit
tee has finally decided which faction
shall emerge victorious from this
struggle. The Congress Organization
Committee yielded to the opponent as
far as the question of principle is con-
cerned. The Congress according to
the latest arrangements will be tenn
porary meeting of delegates, elected
or selected from various organizations
and it will not have the power to
create permanent organization
which is to work for Jewish emanci-
patton. Its chief object will be to
elect or select representatives of
American Jews who will bring the
claim of the oppressed Jews to the
bar of humanity. If these represent
tatives of American Jews are success
full in their task, SO much the better
and if they are not, then nothing has
been lost and in that case every Jew
ish organization will again embark on
its old policy of medd1ing in Jewish
politics without system. The same

else. Browns have Just trimmed the
Macks five straight, and if our prides
have all the strength claimed for
them it should be no hard task to
land seven out of eight from the step
ping stones.
But neither should taking three in
four from the Yanks have been any
mastodonic task for the South Sid
'ers, and you know what happened.
They were against alright pitching
yesterday and had no excuses for
losing, but they should already have
had three victories.
jackson, Ed Collins, Murphy,
Weaver and Lapp hit singles in the
ninth for three runs, but John Collins
and Fournier failed in the pinch
when a tying rally was in sight.
Red Faber did his first pitching in
six weeks, going the last inning
against the Yanks and not being hit.
Faber is now ready to take his place
on the mound regularly, and that
means new strength. Besides pitch
ing his own games, he can help an
ailing mate, and a rescuer is badly
needed, for Reb Russell has been al
most worn out by too much service.
Miller, a new outfieloer, made three
hits for New York, stole a base and
walked. Donovan let Roy Hartze1
go to Baltimore in exchange for Mil
Ter, and also released Pitchers Mar
kle and Heating. MarkIe was a SEN
sation early in the season.
Put a Boston Brave uniform on
the punkest Ieft-hander in the world
and he would probably trim the Cubs
with ease. StaIlings has some good

have they gotten two runs. This
demonstrates the obstacles in the
paths of the Cub fingers. No mat
ter how good our people may be, the
other fellows win.
Tinker knows he hasn't any PEN
nant-winning ball team. He is
doubtful whether he even has a first
division club, so experiments are
daily affairs with the North Side
boss. His latest is to send Zeider to
the head Of the batting order again,
placing Workman sixth and Safer
seventh.
And on the way he has been going
this season that is exactly where
Safer belongs, if he stays in the game
at all Mollwitz would have been
used against the Brave Ieft-handers,
but ballplayers always seem to have
much important business when they
shift teams, so Fritz didn't report
when he was most needed.
Williams was hit on the wrist by a
pitched ball and quit in the first in
ming. That blow hurt Cy, but it did
the team no harm at the moment,
as he is woefuIly weak against the
sOuthpaws. It still looks like a gOOd
idea to bench Cy against the portsid-
ers and allow Schultz to play regular
ly. Frank didn't used to have an I'M
derstudy for the sOUthpaws.
Two doubles by Burns and triple
by Veach gave Detroit four straight

Cause of Serious Accidents.

Al the point referred to the trolley
poles are located in the center of the
highway and have already been the
cause Of numerous serious accidents
to motoring parties. With the removal
OF tn poles the remainder Of the dis

the car tracks, there would be provided
a good, broad roadway. worthy of the
name boulevard. Where the macadam
road from the city terminates and con-
meets with the Maryland road, 2.5 miles
being measured between 18th and II
streets and the District line, the road
way was found to be in excellent con-
dltion. The improvement to the space
between the car tracks the entire dis
lance from the city TO the Maryland
line and the removal of all trolley
poles from the center Of the road. in
the opinion of the committee, are es-
sential in order to make the new
boulevard d credit to the National Cap
ital.
A similar visit was paid to the old
18th street road or Georgia avenue ex-
tended. to the District line and also
Wisconsin avenue from Massachusetts

to the District line. The two cross
walks for pedestrians in Tenleytowu

Bad Stretch Encountered.

At the point where the road from Ben
nings connects with the Maryland state
road going to Upper Marlboro, or in other
words the junction Of the Bowen and
Benning roads. the survey committee
returned to the city, making the de-
scent over probably the worst stretch
of roadway in that section of the Dis
trict The long grade from Central
avenue southeast to the junction of
the Bowen and Bennng roads was in
Il treacherous condition, very rutty,
full of holes. with deep gullies on the
sides. This road is Of the gravel type
and is probably in worse need of repair
than any of the other roads. In the
winter time it is almost impossible for
either horse drawn or motor vehicles
to negotiate the grade. while in dry
length of this stretch of road is 1.3
miles.
At the junction Of the Benning road
with Central avenue there had been
spread for distance of several hun
dred yards crushed material for the
foundation Of a macadam road. From
the junction of these two roads the
trip was made eastward over Central
avenue as far as Capitol Heights. This
road was found in very bad shape also,
being rutty and amply supplied with
mudholes. The road at the Maryland
line is an ideal one. being Of concrete
trail avenue and Benning road to the
District line measured IL miles. This
road provides gateway to the farm
ers and residents to the east of the
National Capital and is another one of
the important thoroughfares connect

Bowen Road Followed.

Retracng the route as far as Good
Hope the Bowen road was followed
and measurements taken of the Penn
sylvania avenue road and the Marl-
boro roads. The macadam road from
the District extends southeast from
Pennsylvania avenue to point five
tenths of a mile from the junction Of
Pennsylvania avenue with Alabama
avenue. From this point to where it
connects with the macadam road on
the Maryland side, via Alabama avenue
and Bowen road. the distance is IL
miles This road is also Of the gravel
type and in good condition, especially
that portion between the ~erminus Of

Condition of the Walker Road.

Despite the cold snap which struck
the National Capital last Wednesday,
the survey committee motored over the
various roads leading out Of the Dis
trict and connecting up with the
MARYLAND system of highways and
noted the condition of the roads. The
first one visited was the Walker road,
which extends from Good Hope, j.. G.,
to the District line, where il connects
with a splendid macada mixed roadway
on tie Maryland side. The road in
the District is of the gravel type, con-
siderably worn, with numerous holes
and ruts. The distance from the viii
lage of Good Hope measured exactly
seyen-tenths of a mile. After leaving
Good Hope the road bears to the left
at Hamilton road and is known as the
Walker road.
This road is the main feeder for
farmers and motorists into Maryland
providing gateway for the following
towns on the main highway into
southern Maryland: Silver Hill, Camp
Springs. Clinton. T. B., Brandywine.

committed suicide today by jumping
from the gallery to the stone paved
first floor of the Federal building, in
sight of scores of persons in the post

married q New Orleans man last month,
it was admitted.
With her mother, Mrs. A. T. Richard
son, she was walking along the gallery
of the federal building when she sud
denly handed her mother the packages
she had been carrying, climbed to the
railing and jumped. Her body turned
in mid-air and she tumbled, screaming
TO the floor.
Miss Richardson was studying music

Kansas City Fed Them.

Kansas City, Mo-, July S.-When 600
Pennsylvania militiamen arrived in
Kansas City today without food for
nearly "a hours and without money to
buy it, Kansas City gave the famished
troops enough supplies to last until the
border was reached.
The hungry men composed the Second
and Third battalions of the First in

known us the "dandy guard" be-
cause of their splendid equipment.
Riding three to seat in straight
back day coaches, the Pennsylvania
troops began shouting for something
to eat as soon as they arrived. Lieu
tenant Colonel Hunt explained to May
or Edwards that his men were nearly
famished and the mayor promised i'm
mediate relief.
Hunt declared the regiment had been
ordered to entrain much earlier than
expected and there was no time to pro-
cure rations. Only half enough rations
