CITIZENS OPPOSE
NEW GAS LAMPS
Piney Branch Association
Would Use Only Electric
Lighting.

SAVING SEEN IN LATTER

Opposition to the installation Of gas
territory in the District was voiced
by the Piney Branch Citizens Asso-
citation at a meeting held last night at
the Iowa Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal Church, Iowa avenue and Emerson
street northwest. The association will
urge the Commissioners to replace the
gas lamps on the streets in its terri
tory with electric lights.
Edgar B. Henderson, president of
the association. declared that he had
seen most of the large cities in the
Gnited States and had formed the
worst lighted city of them all. He
SAID that gas for street lighting was
archaic, and that it was an absurdity
TO light newly developed streets with
It, Mr. Henderson said that he was
heartily. in sympathy with the cam
paign for better lighting conducted
by The Star.
Points to Saving.
In pointing out tho saving of money
in the lighting of the streets by cleo
trictty. Mr.. Henderson said: THE
District pays $3.50 per annum for
each gas lamp where the gas COM
pany owns tho posts and SIS per an
the same rated candle power capacity
on poles owned by the electric light
company where supplied by overhead
wires. Although" he said, tho or
dinary street gas and electric lamps
are practically of the same rated ca
pacity, this Is misleading, because the
gas mantles deteriorate rapidly and
the average result is not more than
tWo-thirds OF the rated capacity"
Mr.. Henderson pointed out that IL
81 =
lamps it pays 316.75 per annum, and.
therefore. IL electric lights should be
substituted for gas the saving in the
first instance would be $3.40 per lamp
per annum, and in the second case
$1.75, and in sections where it would
be necessary to supply electric lights
by underground system the cost Of the
lamps would be $17.S5 each per annum.
which would amount to a saving of
s1.1O on each lamp yearly. and so per
cent better lights.
For Police Court Judge.
The association will urge Congress
to grant another Police Court Judge
handling more effectively the traffic
cases that are increasing rapidly in
the District. 1t was pointed out that
In spite of the tremendous increase
in this sort of cases tho Police Court
had the same number in it's personnel
as it did twenty years ago.
Opposition to the bill providing for
delegate from the District to Con-
gress will be actively taken by the
association. which is already on rec
ord as favoring the right on the part
of the citizens of the District to elect
senators and representatives..
Three new members were admitted
to the association. They are: Leroy
Whitman, G.. w. Barkman and G. NJ.
Campbell.
The association referred to its school
committee the proposed plan on the
part of the school authorities to elm
mate interscholastic athletic competi-
tions for two years.

"CIara Phillips" Says She'll

mia hammer murderess. with a wom-
an companion, arrested here on Sat-
urday are still held in the local Jail
awaiting full Identification and ex-
tradition papers. while the man who
accompanied her. under the name of
Carson. Is separately held in the pen
itentiary.
When seen at the tail the woman
known as Clara Phillips refused to
admit her identity. but discussed the
crime attributed to her and the es-
cape in such a way as to leave no
doubt of her identity among those
who saw her. She shows no evidence
of being downhearted and clings to
the hope of freedom. not so much on
the merits of the case, but mainly be-
cause of the technical difficulties at
tending extradition ana return 10 an
other country. She is we'll guarded
by the local police. 1t is evident,
however, that sympathy has been
aroused for her, because of the feel
ing she was betrayed by those who
promised to assist her, but who made
her victim. Because of this she
declares she VIII tell things that
will startle the California public. !"
but only when leaving Honduras and
after her identity has been legally
proven.
When the party arrived here last
week the woman accompanying her
claimed to be sister and the man
called himself Carson. They came
through Mexico, leaving a friend
named Jackson in Tampico.. They
then proceeded to Guatemala, where
Mrs. Phillips is said to have had a
Misunderstanding with Mexican
friend who had assisted her to cross
the border into Guatemala. To avoid
trouble with the. Guatemalan author
titles she left the Mexican friend and
came to Honduras
Here in Tegucigalpa the fugitive at
first thought of starting grocery bust
ness. Those who met her while she
was looking for house say that her
furtive ways aroused suspicion. Then
came a cablegram from Los Angeles
saying Clara Phillips was supposed to
have gone to Honduras: This gave
the key, and the arrest followed
| quickly.

Clay Smith, members of the joint leg

armed residents of Clara approached
them as they sought Tabert's grave.
The alleged threat was said to have
been aimed at Arthur Johnson, negro
