NORTHEAST CITIZENS
ASK MORE FUNDS
Claim Appropriations Fail to Com
pare With Taxes Paid and
Cite Needs.
STREETS LACK REPAIRS
Higher Pay for Janitors Urged.
Schoolgrounds Neglected.

The northeast section of Washing
ton has not received appropriations
proportionate to the e-amount of taxes
paid by citizens of that district, as
compared with other sections of the
city, 1t was charged at a meeting of
the Stanton Park Citizens Associa-
ton. in the Peabody School, last
night.
Harry N. stull, secretary, stated
that many streets in the Northeast
were badly in need of repairs, and,
considering the amount of taxes paid
by the residents Of Northeast Wash
ington, larger appropriations should
be made. The Northwest section has
been shown undue preference in the
matter of appropriations. he charged.
Mr.. Stull said that a chart showing
the area Of the section and indicating
the number of streets and the re-
pairs made on them would show that
the extent of work on the streets in
the Northeast is insignificant as COM
pared with that on those of the North
west.
school children was expressed in the
form Of a resolution. This, it was
pointed out, was a reiteration of similar
resolutions adopted by other citizens
associations and many were of the
opinion that such soliciting should
cease
A. H. Gregory, introduced a resolu-
tion requesting the reclassification
of school janftors in order that they
might receive more money. The
salaries that they receive are insuf-
ficient for a single person to live
on, and much less than would be
necessary for a man to take care OF
a family. 1t is necessary that their
salaries be increased in order to
keep competent and trustworthy
men in those positions" he said.
The resolution was referred TO the
committee on schools for an investi-
cation in order that it might report
at the next meeting what can be
done to secure an increase in the pay
School Fairgrounds in the north,
east were declared to be neglected
and an increase in playground space
and equipment was said to be urgent
1t was announced that the next
meeting will be in celebration or the
fourth anniversary of the associa-
ton. Members of other citizens as
sociations of the northeast Will be
invited to the mceting, and after q
short business session program OF
entertainment will Feature the occa-
sion.

SECRET, IS CHARGE
Mrs. Olga A. Cumberland Accused
of Misleading Hazel Johnson's
Parents Two Years.
FALSE BUYING rs ALLEGED
Arrest Follows 5000 Purchases in
Local Stores.

Olga Ann Cumberland. twenty five
years old, former resident of Garfield,
n. J., arrested yesterday by Detectives
Cox and King, unfolded a story of
how for two years she had kept
George o. Johnson, 2s11 Buddson
street. ST. Louis. Mo. in ignorance of
the death of his daughter, Miss Hazel
Johnson, twenty-three years old, who
died in a eth street. New York city,
apartment of double pneumonia.
Mrs. Cumberland. separated from
her husband. a former attendant at
ST. Elizabeth's Hospital, told of living
with Miss Johnson. who. just prior to
her death. she declared, requested her
not to tell her father and stepmother
of her death should she succumb TO
the attack of pneumonia. Since that
admitted she has corresponded with
Mr.. Johnson, having him mail an
swers in the name of the dead daugh-
ter in her care.
1t was when Mrs. Grace Harding,
1854 Columbia road. where Mrs. Cum
berland resided, told the detectives
she did not like the idea of her roomer
| receiving mail addressed to Miss
| Johnson that the detectives question
| ed her about the incident and learned
I or nef having kept lht secret VI net
chum's death.
1t is charged that Mrs. Cumberland
used Mrs. Harding's name in the pur-
chase of more than $500 worth OF
goods at two department stores, and
it was during the investigation of
Mrs. Harding's report Of her name
having been SO used that suspicion
fell upon Mrs. Cumberland and she
was arrested. Much of the goods al
legged to have been purchased by the
defendant was recovered.
Discussing the deather of her chum,
Mrs. Cumber rland said the latter car
ried life insurance of s1e5, which was
not enough to defray the funeral ex-
penses. She made up the sum out of
her own pocket, she declared. and
some time after the funeral she de-
cided to return to this city.
Inspector Clifford l.. Grant today
notified Mr.. Johnson of his daughters
death. Employees of the stores from
which the purchases were made to-
day examined the recovered property
and will be summoned to appear as
witnesses when the case is called in
Police Court. Unable to furnish bond
for her appearance last night. Mrs.
Cumberland was detained at the house

NEW YORK, March ,22-Irregu-
lar1ty, the chief characteristic of
price movements throughout this
week, again prevailed during the
abbreviated session on the stock ex.
change today.
Although professional pressure
was light except in a few cases like
Studebaker and U. s. Rubber com
mon and preferred, the greatest dis
elimination was exercised on the
buying side. The rather pessi-
mistic tenor Of the weekend trade
reviews, both Dun's and Brad
streets, stressing the willingness Of
sellers to make concessions and the
slowness Of the spring demand to
make its appearance combined with
the meager prospect for tax reduc-
ton before the congressional recess
in June, were by no means con-
ducive to q general resumption Of
buying.
On the other hand. the chances
for continued ease In money rates,
the already substantial depreciation
in values and the apparent oversold
condition Of the market were factors
which made for caution in the camp
Of the bears.
A sharp distinction was drawn
between stocks of companies whose
outlook was considered bright and
those which have proven vulnerable
in recent sessions because Of reports
Of overproduction, falling off in
sales and unfavorable dividend ru-
mors. In the latter class the mo-
tors and the tires were made the
chief sufferers, Studebaker drop.

Corn Products, General Electric,

Buying of railroad stocks was hased
on the belief that earning statements
which will be released in the next
ten days will make a favorable
showing.
The markets close was irregular.
The bond market was active and
strong. Buying Of the Treasury Ans
