It was impossible to tell whether
Dean had been drowned from h
condition of his clothes, as they had
been nearly torn from him by frantic
playmate. placed alive in the crypt
with the dead body. Dean had been
dead for some time when discovered
by senrchers, and Dickey. whose
pulse stir beat feebly. died two hour
after being rushed to a hospital.
Authorities expressed tho belief
that Dlckey had bee % . a power
full drug before beil ed in the
case in a comatose .ition. and
that he did not revive /, some hours
later. Evidence indicated that the
drug had caused him to have several
tpasms.
While preparations are going for
ward for the Minerals. which VIII DO
held Immediately after the inquest
Monday. the parents Of both ads are
close to prostration from grief and
exhaustion after the week of frantic
search.
TT is a relief even TO know that
he is dead said Mrs. Rose Meecham,
Deans mother, between dry sobs.
AT least he is out of danger now"
Mrs. Jensen. already III. became
hysterical when the word was taken
to her. but later became quieter when
comforted by her husband with the
thought that her lad could no longer
suffer.
In reconstructing the crime tonight
police worked on the theory that the
abductor, whose motive is still a mys-
terry. became harmed at the extent
OF the search, in which more than
500 school children on vacation and
1000 armed citizens took part.
Previously. they believe. he had
the boys in hiding somewhere in the
outskirts of town. They believe he
drugsed both the boys hoping that
they would stay under the influence
Of the narcotic until he could escape.
They believe that while he was TAX
ing them. probably by machine. TO
somewhere where he could conceal
them, Dean did not remain under the
influence OF the drug, and perhaps
began to cry.
Becoming alarmed, they think the
kidnapper plunged his body into n
creek, sitting his cries until he
stopped breathing, and then took
Dickey IN an unconscious state, and
the other lad dead, or nearly so. and
stuffed their bodies through the snap
latch siding panel into the peculiar
showcase in the store building. whic!

"Be Sure and Then Go
Ahead,' Motto of This
Progressive Group.

With the rapid development of the
northwest section of the city came
the opening up OF the Woodley Park,
Richmond Park and Cleveland Park
sections. The inhabitants filling the
new dwellings had many things TO
consider in order to complete the au-
vantages to be enjoyed in their COM
munity There was the necessity or
adequate street car service. proper
telephone system, the establishment
of an improved lighting system ana
many other details. With these IDEAS
In view number of citizens in 1917
gathered and formed the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association.
The newly formed organization
soon decided that there was larger
field to work for than mere local I'M
provements, and began TO take active
interest in the problems that anected
the city at large. The Connectlcut
avenue association was one or the
first civic bodies of its kind to begin
this active interest in city wide prom
lens. as we'll as caring for its par
ttCular section.
Gives Away Territory.
In order to prove that the associa-
tion "practiced what ii preached, ana
that 1t stood for the general good OF
the city rather than the seinsn inter
,.sts of a section. it voluntarily gave
up over half of its territory. includ-
ing a large part of its membership 10

Perhaps what reflects the spirit OF
this organization more than anything
else is it's able committee on coop

tive committee in spirit, as we'll as in

Never In Dispute.
The Connecticut avenue organiza-
ton has taken very active interest in
the local street car and telephone
rates. and, while they are constantly
looking for improved transportation.
II IL their boast that they have never
been in dispute with the Capital Trac-
tfon which serves their territory
The one great aim Of the associa-
tion is the establishment OF Connecti-
cut avenue as n boulevard of beauty.
To this end the association has con-
Stantly urged the removal of the
street car poles from the center of the
avenue. and has approached the Capt.
tai Traction company, requesting that
they make Il general survey of Con-
necticut avenue traffic conditions, with
the view Of eliminating the street car
system and installing a bus route.

to- eliminate the passing of reSolu

at, the same time has always urged
that when question has been acted
upon by the association, the associa-

followed up. Due to the fact that
probably more people of individual
influence live within its territory than
in any other organization, the asso-
