Personal NeUs Notes

A special meeting of the executive
committee of the Anacostia Citizens
Association was held last night with
President William ]. Lstimer presid-
Ing. the object beng to promote in
terest in the work OF the association
among the present members and alse
to secure new members for this body.
During the past few months, II swas
stated. interest I'm the work of the
association had been falling of. and
the reason for this was given as an
apparent lack OF civic pride Presi-
dent Latimer stated that he thought
that every citizen of the community
should belong to the association, when
it was considered what the associa-
tion had done. He called attention
to the fact that there had been much
adverse criticism of the work being
done, but he believed those critics
could not substantiate their fault
finding. 1t was decided that special
letter of appeal would be sent to every
business man within the boundaries
of the association and the question
put squarely up to him. as to whether
he did not consider IL his duty to be-
long to this civic body. Unless pres
ent membtrs do take more interest
and more members are secured 1t is
feared that the future of the associa-
tion will be retarded.
John Mathews has completed the
erection of a modern home on Ala
bsma avenue southeast, which he
Will occupy. He is now making
plans for the erection of at least
two more homes in that vicinitp.
The vestry of Christ Episcopal
Church in G street southeast will
issue a call shortly for a minister
to take charge there. Since the
transfer of the Rev. David r. Covell
to Trinity Church. this parish has
been without a permanent minister.
Thomas ]. Brooke died on Monday
last at the home of his brother, L.
b. Brooke, 14S Thirteenth street
southeast, and funeral services are
to be held this afternoon at 3
O'Clock. He had resided in the
Southeast for a long time.

STEEL RUMORS
JOLT MARKET
Possibilities Of Price-Fixiing
Makes for Irregularity.
Firm Undertone.
by BROADAN WALL.

New York, March l9.-Because the
financial world was discussing all dur
ing today's session the possibilities OF
steel price fixing at Washington. the
stock market was irregular. 1t had a
hrm tone, however, and in several de-
partments there was distinct vitality
shown, notably in Marine, in the food,
chemical and electric stocks. Oil
stocks were reactionary but for pure
ly technical reasons.
The buying of American Can, which
seemed rather mysterious several
days ago, is now explained on the
theory that the heavy exports of food
to Germany will be made in the shape
of canned goods. AS the American
Can Company is well supplied with
tin and recently bought up a surplus
from another company which was not
so optimistic as to outlook, it is ex-
pected It will reap the advantage Of
this foreign business. Not only will
the can company profit. but such
companies as American Linseed, Cot
ton Oil and National Biscuit will
be able to sell all they can spare for
export at their own prices.
All these stocks were higher today,
as were also the sugar stocks under
the leadership of American Sugar.
which scored a gross advance of five
points.
Doubling of the United Cigar Stores
capital stock as authorized today by
the board of directors is in anticipa-
tion OF important developments
Buying of tobacco products was un-
usually good today, e new interest
having made its appearance in that
issue.
Malt common was dealt in heavily
on the Stock Exchange today. rising
to 80 a share.
Texas and Pacific Oil continued its
upward movement. but reacted with
the other oil stocks. although there is
less cause for reaction in this issue
than in the REGULAR oil comna mics
