HGH TAX OPPOSED;
$3.50 IS UPHELD
Citizens of RandIe Highlands
Denounce "Disastrous
Step Backward"

Declaring that any increase in taxes

work an unnecessary hardship on the

step backward. members Of the Ran
die Highlands Citizens Association, In
meeting last evening. went on record
a. as vigorously opposed to any change
from the present plan or any increase.
The secretary was directed imme-
diately to inform the committees of
Congress to this effect, and the ex-
ecuttve committee will do personal
work In an effort to prevent the pas
sage OF the proposed change.
Charles A. Stevens, superintendent
OF the house Of detention, and for
more than twenty-five years a MEM
ber of the police department, was
indorsed by the association for the
post OF major and superintendent Of
police. Attention was called to the
feet that because of Sergt. Stevens

approved by q majority of the resi-
dents sf the District.
An, attempt will be made to secure
some Improvement to LEnfant Circle,
sy1vania avenues. This tract of
ground was dedicated in 1883 to the
District for use as public space. but

improving it,. 1t was reported that it
is now in bad condition, and the
Office of public buildings and grounds
will be asked to have the space
graded at this time. if nothing else.
C. A. Barker, recently elected presi-
dent. conducted the meeting, which
was largely attended, and committees
for the ensuing year were named.

CommOdated at one time shall be lin

Joy all the conveniences to which they
were accustomed in their brighter
days" He writes that This statement
Is made with a view to exhibiting the
profound interest ! nave ever felt In
the cherished institution. over which
you have with commendable fidelity
exercised supervision"
The letter continues at some length
TO outline the aims of tho home and
10 relate the founders interest in 1t
very much as set forth in Mr.. Cor
coran's first letter to the men chosen
ny him rs the original board of trus-
tees' and also in the deed to those
trustees, both of which papers tho
Rambler copied in the first INSTALL
ment of this series.
"hIle the Rambler stood making
mis- notes Of the black framed letter
on the wall, and with two or three
iao'es or the homo watching this lit
erary mechanical process and telling
MIN about the letter at the same
time' there entered the room a frail
Httle woman to whom the other ladies
introduced the Rambler. They said:
Inns is her room and We knew she
would be glad II we brought YOU in
mere TO see this letter Of Mr., Cor
coran." And the frail little woman
SAID: Yes, ] am very proud Of that
letter and you can take all the time
you want to copy 1t, and I am very
eiad TO be able to help you in your
work" She said more than that along
the same line. but the Rambler does
not recall all her words. although he
does remember that she seemed very
IRAN and weak. and that he cut short
the work Of copying that long letter
on the wall because he thought this
little woman wanted to be alone and
rest, and that perhaps she wanted to
lie down. She appeared to be tired.
Her name was Miss Jeanie Jones,
and one OF the ladies told the writer
that Miss Jones was particular, that
II her baptismal name We're used at
all 1t should be spelled Jeanne" and
not Jennie" Her earlier home was
on the eastern shore of Maryland.
Even before the Rambler wrote the
story of his visit to the home the
spirit Of that frail little woman took
it's flight. A fellow-worker on The
Star showed the Rambler the death
notice of Miss Jennie" Jones. and, he
corrected the baptismal name to
"Jeanie." and a few minutes later the
following was in type:
Miss Jeanie lockwood Jones, resident Of the
eastern shore, died Tuesday at the Loniss
Home, where she had lived since 1905. she
was seventy years old and had been In III
health for several years. Miss Jones was q
dsushtsr Of the late Charles Brown an1 Ara.
minta lockwood Jones Of Caroline county.
Nd. A sister. Mrs. BENJAMIN Allen Of wa.
mington, Del. survives her. Funeral servfces
were held this morning at II o'clock at the
home. Intermsnt was IN Oak Hill eemetesy,
brother. Richard lockwood Jones, was taken
critically Ill Saturday aud died in BaitinSYe
less than an hour after his sister succs1Ssd
here. =
A shade of sorrow passed ever the
Rambier's mind as he read that paya.
graph. Not many hours before, the
frail little woman told him Of her
pride In the black. framed letter which
