FAIRGROUNDS
More Apparatus, Directors, and
Pay Also Demanded in Mrs.
Rhodes Report.

Washington needs at least 100 more
Fairgrounds. nifty of them In school
yards and the remaining number on
vacant lots and In parks throughout
the city. Additional playground APP
paratus. higher pay for playground
directors and more of them are also
needed.
This Is what Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes, supervisor OF Fairgrounds,
told the District Commissioners to-
day when she submitted her annual
report for the fiscal year ending June
| 80 last.
| "Our playground facilities are far
below the standard of needs" says
Mrs. Rhodes. I'VE need more grounds.
We need permanent grounds. those
| from which we shall not have to
move. We need more money for the
1 maintenance of the grounds we al
ready have. We need more directors
| and assistants than we now have and
we need larger salaries for those al
! ready in our employ"
| WANT As MUCH As TEACHERS.
Mrs. Rhodes declares playground
worker should receive a salary at
least equal to that paid school
teacher. She states a playground
! teacher cares for from 100 to 1000
| children each day and that she must
/ be able to interest and instruct them
| all.
| It is recommended that the play
| grounds run by the various public
| schools about the city be put under
the direction OF the playground de-
partment. 1t il also asked that these
school Fairgrounds be thrown open
both summer and winter, instead OF
only winter.
Mrs. Rhodes, in pointing out the
need for AFOREMENTIONED play
grounds. declares four loaned grounds
were taken away from the depart
ment in the past year. She recon-
mends the purchase of the Columbia
Heights, Park View, Logan, Rose
Park, Gallinger and Wilcox play
grounds.
ASKS LAND GIFTS.
"As final, would suggest that pub
c-spirited citizens might well be re-
minded by the Commissioners that
there is no gift that can be made to
the city of greater use and enjoy
ment with more lasting honor to the
name of the donor than the gift OF
land for a public playground says
Mrs. Rhodes.
Statistics of the department show
an average daily playground attend
ance of 1900.
Mrs. Rhodes points out that the in
, crease in the number OF Fairgrounds
will be a means of decreasing juvenile
delinquency.

ment in Auto, Cut Glass, and

A gang of 'fur robbers. operating
In the principal cities of the coun-
try, are responsible for the theft OF
, furs valued at approximately $4,000
from the store of w. Rosendorf, 1918
G street northwest, early this morn
ing, in the belief of the police Of this
city.
RATTLE WITH OFFICER.
Similar methods of entering the
stores In the other cities were used In
this mornings robbery. Five men are
said to have participated in It.. Ac-
cording to the police. the men drove
up in the front OF the building In
a large touring car at about $3.50
o'clock. used a glass cutter, and took
all of the fur coats in the window
and in the front part of the store.
Charles 8. Bose, special police
man, arrived on the scene just az the
thieves were leaving. He exchanged
several shots with them. one OF which
he believes took effect.
Bose arrived at the store following
I the ringing of the burglar alarm. Mr..
: Rose ndorf. who lives at 1902 Eighth
street northwest, was notified imme-
diately, and hurried to his place Of
business in an automobile.
COAT OWNERS WORRIED.
washingtonians who had left their
fur coats at Rosendorrs to have them
repaired, have been telephoning to-
day to inquire IL their coats were
stolen. Mr.. Rosendorf said all coats
left at his establishment are insured.
and in the event the burglars did get
some Of them, they would be replaced.
Last nights robbery was the third
time thieves have attempted to enter
Rosendorf's store. Several months
ago, a man tried to enter through the
rear windows, but the burglar alarm
warned detectives Of his intention.
and he was apprehended.
sAKy STORE WAS ROBBED.
1t is believed the I'VE men who en-
tered Rosendorfs this morning also
were responsible for the breaking
into Saks Fur Company. Of this city
several months ago, and the theft OF
goods valued at approximately $4,000.
The sale of some of the stock of
'furs stolen from a manufacturer last
April in New York city has been
traced here. Men who participated In
that theft are said to be members or
fur ring" operating in New York,
Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and this
city. 1t Is believed the men who took
part in this mornings theft are con-
nected with that ring. The arrest OF
several men in New York in connec-
ton with nationwide fur thefts
may aid in the capture of those re-
,sponsible for the theft at Rosendorfs.

ned some time ago.

STRIKING EMPLOYEES OF MILL

ABOUT Is HOUSES OCCUPIED
Company Maintains 1t Does Not Rent
Dwellings for Profit but Merely
to Facilitate Its Business.

Misunderstanding operatives OF the
Pilot Cotton Mills were ordered to va
cate the houses that they occupy in
the mill village at once, or be prepar-
ed to return to work early in the new
year. Any operative who wishes to
return to work on the same conditions
already announced, may have his job
back, according to statement by Mr..
A. Y. Kelley, general manager Of the
company.
It was rumored that the strikers
had employed counsel to resist the or
der for eviction, but leaders Of the
union would neither confirm or deny
the report. A meeting OF all the
strikers has been called, at which, 1t
is stated, the matter will be discussed
fully.
There are about Is of the company's
houses occupied at present by strik-
ers who refuse to return to work I'M
til their union has been recognized.
Just what steps they may take to re.
tain possession of the houses is not
known unless they seek an injunction
against the eviction order and put up
a bond for the payment Of the rent.
The company will very probably fight
the injunction, if asked for, on the
houses for profit. but maintains them
for the facilitation of the operation OF
their plant here.
