CITIZENS LAUNCH
SECESSION EFFORT
Group Would Leave Central Asso-
citation to Get Results Through
Smaller Body.

New York avenue residents living be-
tween North Capitol and First streets
northwest have launched a movement
to organize a new citizens associa-
ton to protect their personal inter
ests and to secede from the Central
Citizens Association, it was learned
last night
Francis De Sales Ryan, former pres
ident of the Central Citizens Associa-
tion resigned that position last night
to head the new movement. The
plans are to gather residents living
in the territory extending from New
York avenue to Truxton Circle and
from North Capitol street TO New Jer-
sey avenue northwest into the pro-
posed organization.
According to Ryan, those fostering
the plan are of the opinion that the
citizens living in the proposed terri
tory could obtain more satisfactory
legislation through a smaller associa-
ton than through the Central Citi-
zens' Association, to which they now
are attached.
The residents point out that the
present organization is much too large
TO care for the individual interests
of the group to residents living in the
proposed territory. Although the resi-
dents have not yet organized, Ryan
hopes to call a meeting of the citi-
zens about the middle of this week to
discuss the plans.

ink, at the submarine base at New
London, Conn.
The court-martial papers charge
Comdr. HUFF, according to Secretary
Wilbur. with conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman. The charges
grow out of the failure of Comdr.
Huff to pay his divorced wife $145 a
month alimony in accordance with a
decree in a California court.
Secretary Wilbur said that this was
a radical departure in naval pro-
cedure, and gave indications that
others might be subjected to the same
disciplinary action. So far as Ii Is
known at the department. the action
is without precedent. and shows a
disposition of Secretary Wilbur to as

in Connecticut, there was said TO be

the airplane carrier Langley, and put
her out of action before the fleet can
launch the proposed gigantic air at.
