CAPE TOWN, April 27.-Life
boats containing 237 passengers and
seamen from the abandoned Portu-

securing the coast line in all direc-
lions from Cape Frio where the
Mossamedes went aground in a
gale on Wednesday.
The South African government
is considering sending an expedition
to search uninhabitated and isolated
regions in the possibility that the
small boats containing the fugitives
put ashore in one Of these districts
where there is no Geographic com
munication with the outside world.
Search has been stimulated by
the fact that there are twenty-nine
women and twenty-five children
among the missing passengers.

BROOKLAND HAS
LIVE CITIZEN
GROUP
Association Is Trying to Make
Section Leader Of Capital
Suburbs.
BY GEORGE FRANKLIN.

Neighborhood improvements ac-
curately measure the degree of
public spirit animating local resi-.
dents. Brookland is a good ex-
ample of what can be accomplish
ed when citizens organize and CO.
operate to secure for their section
of the city those DEVELOPMENTS
which go to make a neighborhood
an ideal residence and business sec.
ton.
What has been accomplished
there through the activities of the
Brookland Citizens Association
since its organization in 1893, is an
inspirational illustration of what
such organizations can accomplish
through intelligantly directed eff
forts and consistent devotion to the
attainment of desirable ends.
When the association was form
ed thirty years ago the Brookland
district was little less than a
rural section. Few improvements
had been made that appealed tc
the homemaker. Yet those who
moved into the section had faith ir
| its possibilities and. following the
! formation of the citizens associa
ton, started out to obtain such i'm
provements as were necessary to g
proper and permanent development
of the location.
Many Accomplishments.
Among the achievements to be
| credited to the association is the
development of a street car service
| To secure this it was necessary tC
obtain the passage of a law by
Congress authorizing the necessary
LII a IfAE
succeeded in obtaining. Fire pro
lection was also sought by the as
ISOLATION with the result that the
District Commissioners erected
| fire engine house in the district
Street paving then became the great
objective. with the result that hun
dreds Of yards Of the finest paving
in the district has been laid IN
Brookland.
But the paving question has not
been settled to the entire satisfac
ton of the association. Twelfth
street, it is insisted, must be com
pletely paved between Rhode island
and Michigan avenues. At present
eleven blocks within this stretch re
main to be paved before the street
which is the thoroughfare of the
section, can be considered an idea
highway.
According to the paving practice
followed by the commissioners at
present, before a block can be paved
it must be built up along either side
This is to prevent the opening OF
pavements to permit the making OF
| water connections after the pave
ment has been laid. The association
now proposes to take such action as
will relieve the commissioners from
| further enforcement of this practice
which, it is declared, holds back paw
ing of long stretches of streets
where paving is needed. What the
association proposes is this:
The commissioners should be auth
oriZed to make the necessary water
connections in each block where un
improved properties are owned by
non-residents, the cost to be as
sessed against the property and add
ed to it's value. Then on petition by
other residents along the block the
| paving is to be laid. The result OF
| paving the street and having the
water connections made. it" is said
will increase the selling value of un
| improved lots, resulting in the own
er realizing q higher profit on his
! investment than If sold under other

HOPE Of

Formal call for bids on the
United States Governments mer-
chant feet will be made tomor-
row by Chairman A. D. Lasker,
Of the Shipping Board, it was
learned today.
Lasker today had practically
completed the consolidation of
the various transportation routes
into groupings, which it is be-
lieved may be operated with a
fair assurance Of profit.
Expect Sale to Fail.

not anticipate adequate bids on the

fort will be made by the Govern
ment to get out of the shipping
business.
Failing, the merchant fleet will be
directly operated by the Govern
ment and an effort will be made to
build it up to paying business
which later may be disposed Of to
private corporations without loss to
the public, officials of the board
said.
The formal application for bids

upon which the Government ships
will be sold Certain guarantees as
to the maintenance of the routes
on which ships are to be operated,
as to the financial standing of bid.
ders and other details are required.
Hope for Quick Action.
It was confidently expected that,
should no satisfactory bids be re-
ceived within period of sixty days
or less, the Shipping Board will con-
clude American ship owners are not
interested in the Governments offer.
whereupon immediate steps will be
taken to put the Presidents ag-
gressiye operation" of the fleet into
effect.
Chairman LaSlxer hopes to see
definite step taken either in dis.
posal Of the fleet or launching of
direct Government operation before
he retires from office June 90. The
chairman is opposed to Government
operation, but has declared he ia
vors resorting to it, If necessary, to
keep the American merchant ma
rine on the Seven Seas
Reports to the Shipping Board
from steamship owners and opera
tors indicate opposition to the Gov
ernment's operation plan. They in
sisted 1t was simply q bluff on the
part of the Government to force
steamship owners to buy the fleet.
However, officials declared if it is
q bluff, the Government is ready to
go through with the proposition to
save the American merchant ma

Plan Fete July Fourth.
Just now the association is work
ing to insure the coming Fourth
of July celebration at Brookland
outclassing anything of the kind
organized in that section in the
past. In connection with the cele-
bration it has been decided to
make a membership drive, with
/ 900 members as the goal. The
present membership of the associa-
ton is somewhat in excess OF 300
active members. With more than
1000 residents in the section. asso-
citation members say there should
be no difficulty in securing enough
new members to make the organi-
cation one of the strongest citizens
associations of the District.
"Brookland is building up rapid
ly," said E. w. Turner. president
of the citizens association. today.
1.-The growth is remarkable. The
association is exerting every effort
to make the section the most de-
sirable residential suburb of Wash
ington l believe it is succeeding.
We will bring our membership up
to the thousand mark and we can
be depended upon to join in all
movements for the betterment Of
the District If we have to go to
Congress to secure legislation re-
lieving the paving situation, we
will do So"
