CITIZENS UPBRA|D
COLONEL KELLER
Northeast Association Mem
bers Rebuke Him for Re-
cent Criticism.

The Northeast Washington Citi
zens' Association yesterday un,
braided Col. Charles Keller, Dis
trict Engineer Commissioner, and
the Public Utilities Commission.
In q letter replete with irony
they answered recent letter made
public by Colonel Keller to Evan
H. Tucker, president of the organi
zation, in which he condemned their
recommendations for motor bus de-
Velopment and the abolition of the
Public Utilities Commission, By
stating that he never received 3
helpful suggestion from members oil
q citizens association
The citizens, many Of them beins
able to recall the chartering Of the
first street railway company In
Washington and quite familiar with
the conditions surrounding the
Public Utilities of the District
congratulate" Colonel Keller foI
having ''familiarized himself %
thoroughly with these conditions II
the short duration of his ircum
bency as Commissioner"
The Public Utilities Commission
is characterized as 1.-THE fiscal man
ayers of the Public Utilities cor
porations" leaving the companies
free of responsibility to manage
their own properties efficiently and
economically.
Because of this, they state, and
since the Commissioner himself
said il IL an added responsibility
imposed upon the Commissioners
and often OF ga disagreeable ma
ture" for which there is no thanks
and for which the residents OF the
District are taxed, 1--WE believe thai
it il q waste of time and money
to continue the existence of the
Commission. @
The letter condemns the admins
tration OF the Public Utilities Com
mission and points out the lack Of
Improvement in the service Of the
public utility corporations despite in
creased rates.
Referring to Colonel Keller's com
munication to President Tucker, the
citizens make the following com
ment:
In making this reply, the COM
mIttee is mindful Of the fact that
the resolutions of which you COM
plain were adopted by the asso-
citation and not by Mr.. Tucker, or
at any instigation or suggestion
from him. and 1t is at a loss to
understand why he should be re.
buked.
The letter, signed by Roscoe Jen-
kins, chairman OF the public utilities
committee Of the association, has
been approved by the entire member
ship of the organization

Ireland Holds
Hope Peaceful Days

London. April 1o-Clearer skies
and happier days seem in prospect
for Ireland. Events of the past few
weeks. including the arrest or killing
of some of the rebellion's ringlead-
sioners. the decrease of incendiarism
the restoration of rail traffic almost
to normal. and a general relief in
the tension among the people both
north and south. have encouraged
the friends of Ireland to believe that
at last she is on the threshold of
peace and order.
Nothing has hurt the rebellion so
much as the admission by the Ir-
regular cheiftain that he is ''con-
demned to view the tragedy through
a wall of glass. powerless to inter-
vene effectively" The Iri esulars
have also admitted their inability
to continue operations on a large
scale.
Another hopeful sign is the fact
that public crime in the Free State
shows a distinct elimination in
Ulster. too. conditions have i'm
proved amazingly

Christians and jews consolidate &C.
liciouSlT"""
"Why the an'o@onism TO each
other" asked Dr. Grant because
wo have differences of opinion;
, There is ono thing the Christian re
liGion did: it br.ucht the spiritual
attention of mankind out Of he SLY,
out of the great unknown and con
centrated this attention on a human
life. on tie soul. The way of the
religion of the future is to look at
human life.
There was no written record Of
the cruCifiXion until years after it
occurred The fact has some OBJ
security about it. We don't know
whether the Jews did it or not. There
is such uncertainty that | think VIC
can say theologicaly that it may be
passed over.
There is no reason why Christians
should make a fuss about this oc-
ago. If an organized attempt is
made. there is no reason why the
clminatiCl of this responsibility
could not be brought about.
"W-o have to read the Jewish bible
as we'll as the Christian bible. The
services in the church. l am told,
take largely from synagogue ser
vice. If we are going to take the
Jewish religion. why not take the
Jews themselves? When we pay
such homo to a young man of their
race and to his omther. looking to
them as the great source of our re-
