Objection to Method.

This association also desires to en-
phasize the fact that the proposed
legislation is particularly objectiona-
BILE to the people of the District of CO.
lumbia because of the manner III when
ii is presented. namely, by way OF
rider to an important appropriation
bill which method of legislation pre-
vents the measure from receiving that
careful study and investigation which
it's importance deserves. In view OF
the fact that the people of this Dis
trict have no representative or dele
gate in Congress to protect their inter
ests. it is respectfully submitted that
all legislation affecting the District
should be required by law to be intro
duced by bill i'll the regular way, so
that any such measure may be re-
ferred to the respective committees on
the District of Columbia of the House
and Senate for proper investigation.
and an opportunity afforded for the
pople of the District to be heard there
on before action is taken in either
house of Congress-.
A motion was adopted commencing
the District Commissioners for their
public spirited and efficient manner of
handling the street-car strike.
The association unanimously adopted
a report of the executive committee
protesting against the location of the
new Washington Asylum Hospital at
18th and Upshur streets northwest.

AGED TEACHERS DIE AS FLAMES : SWEEP COLLEGE Christian Brothers Perish and Nurse is Injured at
 St. Louis. MAIN BUILDINGS
 BURN TO GROUND Aged 93 and 72, Professors Are Trapped on Fifth
 Floor.

St. Louis, Oct. 5-Fire today de- stroyed the main building of Chris tian Brothers College here.
 Two aged members of the college faculty are missing and are believed to have perished and an assistant nurse who jumped from an upper win dow was seriously hurt.
 All members of the faculty save two and all students were accounted for. Most of the students had not reached the college when the fire started.
 The two missing faculty members are Brother Cormack, 93 years old, and Brother Clemens, 72 years old. Their room was on the fifth floor of the infirmary.
 The assistant nurse who was fn- jured is Louis Nolan, who jumped from a fifth story window in the in firmary, as f1remen were climbing ladders to rescue him. His injuries may prove fatal.
 The fire was discovered by the coll lege registrar as he was walking up to the room of Brothers Cormack and Clemens.
 About noon the fourth floor of the college building collapsed and many firemen plunged to the basement. Three were taken out badly injured. Others are in the wreckage.

SCHOOL GIRLS IN C0URT,SUMM0NED TO BE WITNESSES
Appear t o Testify Against corbin Womsn, But She
 Doesn't Come.

A bevy of school girls, whose pull chitrude excited the admiration of spectators, appeared in the local court this morning to testify against Ruth Corbin, alias Farrell, who was arrest ed last week, charged with being the mysterious "Woman in Black" who has been robbing school dressing rooms the last two years. q
 The Corbin girl, however, who re- sides at 476 Broad street, and gave her age as 2S years when arrested last week, failed to put in an appearance and her bond of $50 was rorre1reu.
 Accompanied by several school teachers and Principal s. P. Williams, of the Prospect street school, where the Corbin girl was arrested, the girls from whose coats money had been stolen, sat through them ornlng pro- ceedings, instead of returning to their studies.
 Few, if any, of them had ever cross- ed the threshold of a court room be- fore and they evinced great interest in the proceedings, following each case with rapt attention, The fact that they received 60 cents witness fees and were allowed to stay in the court by their teachers, seemed tc more than compensate them TOT the losses suffered as a result of the all legged activities of the Cerbin girl.

JUNIOR HIGH IS NECESSITY, SAYS
 SUPT. SLAWS0N
No Decision When Judge Hears Petitioners for Re-
 straining Injunction.

After Linwood avenue residents ap- peared this morning to protest against the building of the new Junior High school in their neighborhood, Judge Gager of the superior court reserved decision on the petition of the pro- perty owners asking for an injunc- tion. They seek to restrain the city from proceeding with the erection of the school.
 Supt. Slawson of the public schools told the court that the building was public necessity. Leonard Asheim, the architect, described to the court the plans for the school.
 Joseph Barratt, Jens Miller and Herman Passolt, property owners on Linwood avenue appeared in behalf of the injunction petition. They said that when they purchased lots they were told the deeds for other property on the street contained restriction clauses. They alleged that some of the lots bought by the city were re- stricted. The petitioners said the erection of a school would injure pro- perty values.
 City Attorney William H. Comley, Jr., argued against the granting of an injunction. Former City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan and Attorney Vincent Heating asked for the injunc- tion.

Judge Frederic Bartlett. this morn- ing held Joseph G.

A quantity of wire valued at like sum still is missing.
 Represented by Attorney A. J. Mer- ritt, the brothers stood in the hall outside the courtroom nervously pac- ing up and down the corridor, while their counsel conferred with Prosecu- tor Delaney, and Judge Bartlett was disposing of the case.
 Robert N. Davies, chief of the U. M. c. detective bureau, representing his concern, was also in court, ready to testify in case the brothers desired a hearing. They waived examination, however, and were immediately bound over to the higher court.
 It is understood that influential po- lfical friends of Joseph G. Wright, Have made every endeavor to have the officials of the U. M. c. Co. refuse to prosecute the brothers. Officers of the plant. however, have steadfastly maintained that an example must be made of the brothers, in view of past losses to the company, as a result of the dishonesty of employees.

Fire starting from an unknown cause in a paper-baling press in the
 basement of. the building occupied by
 the Bridgeport News Co.,. 244-25O Mid dle street this morning, did damage es timated at $50O,' drove clerks iron the building without their hats and coats and for a time checked all ef- forts of the firemen, who were partly overcome by the smoke, to reach tht seat of the flames.
 As a result of the fire, complaint is being made that the police telephone system is inadequate to cope with emergencies. Miss Katherine Kearns
 niece of Alderman W. R. Kearns, is being complimented on her pluck in remaining in the densely smoke filled office until she had gathered the books and cash of the company and removed it to a place of safety across the street, where she and the other clerks escap d without being able to get their hats and coats from the hooks in the office.
 The fire. which had gained consid- erable headway before discovery at $50 a. m., by Joseph Kiernan and AL NSAI o0SOpy, WIlO were hIlOChGu over by the back draft as they opened a doorway leading into the baling room located in the basement of the Middle street store of the News company, sent dense clouds of smoke throughout the building. Within a minute the of fees of the company on the ground floor and those of c. B. Flames & Co. plumbing supplies, adjoining, were .smoke-filled.

 The upper floors of the three story brick building were pouring employees = the A. & B. Machine shop, the Fell man Raincoat Co.,, and the Park City Engraving Co., into the street
 Bremen who attempted to. enter the basement were driven back by the smoke and it was only after oxygen smoke helmets were pressed into ser vice that the blaze was reached. The f1remen had to work in relays while their partly overcome members re- v1vesd in the outside air.
 An attempt to call police headouar- ters to get policemen to hold back the big crowds which interfered with the work of the fire department resulted In several waits while the lines were reported busy It is said that only three trunk lines reach headquarters and that these are far too few to han dle the business.
 Lieut.. Charles Wheeler, with several policemen who had been detailed to the North End, went to the scene in an automobile and immediately took charge.
