NYE MAKES PLEA
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
Stresses Particular Need in Chevy
Chase in Address Before Home
and School Association.

Senator Nye of North Dakota entered
plea for better school facilities in the
District of Columbia, particularly in
the vicinity of Chevy Chase, in an adj
dress before the Home and School As
ISOLATION in the assembly room of the
Methodist Home, Connecticut avenue
and Elliott street, last night.
The Senator pointed out that It was
doubtful whether any city in the United
States had fallen so far behind in ade-
quate school facilities and equipment as
Washington, due to inadequate appro-
priations. He suggested as a remedy
that the association send a committee
before Congress at the regular session
this Fall to point out the existing def
ciencies and ask for better school facili-
ties in the vicinity of Chevy Chase. He
also advocated the abolition of portable
schoolhouses as being both impractical
and unsafe.

GAS STATION OWNER
ENDS LIFE WITH GUN
Financial Difficulties Are Blamed
for Suicide of Edward A.
Creecy, So.

A shot from a 32-caliber revolver
ended the life of Edward A. Creecy,
SO, of 760 Newton place, who committed
suicide early this morning in the Office
of the Liberty Gasoline Station at 200
Florida avenue, which he owned.
Dependent over financial difficulties,
Creecy ended his life shortly after
o'clock, after telephoning his son, Jud-
son r. Creecy, 1890 Minnesota avenue
southeast to come to the gasoline
station Immediately.
Judson Creecy declared his father had
worked in his Office all night. The son
discovered his fathers body on the
cement floor, the revolver in his hand
and a note nearby. A shot from the
gun had pierced the right temple,
causing instant death.
Have been going backward for eight
months. I am worried and all my
money is gone" was the message Creecy
left.
DR.. H. M. Lowden Of Emergency Hos
pital, summoned to the scene, pro-
nounced the man dead and notified the
coroner, DR.. j. Ramsay hewitt, who
rendered a verdict of suicide.
A plasterer, William Adams, colored,
Of the 400 block of Neal street, who
had been temporarily employed at the
gasoline station, informed police he was
on his way to the office early today
and heard shot, but, believed it to be
the backfire of an automobile, paid
little attention to it. Arriving at the
station at approximately the same time
as the son, he observed Judson Creecy
enter the Office to discover the body of
his father.
The body was removed to the Hysong
funeral parlors to await interment.
Mr.. Creecy is survived by two sons.

CAPPER PROPOSES
NEW ALLEY LAW
Would Prohibit Dwellings
Where PassageWay Is Less
Than 80 Feet Wide.

A bill to provide new alley closing
law for the District has been introduced
in the Senate by Chairman Capper of
the District committee. Similar legis-
lation was considered but not acted
upon in the last Congress. 1t is prob
able this bill will be taken up at the
regular session in December.
The Capper bill would prohibit
dwellings in any alley which is less
than 80 feet wide and which does not
run straight through and opens on two
of the surrounding streets. 1t further
provides that dwellings erected in flu
tute on any alley or minor street must
set back far enough to allow for 30
foot roadway and 5 feet of sidewalk
on each side.
Congress passed an alley-closing law
for the District number of years ago,
but it became the subject of litigation
regarding the exact meaning of its
term. The original law contained re-
quirements regarding sewer, water and
lights, in addition to providing for a
minimum width and the requirement
that the alley be straight.

strange cacti, among them one new
species which is about feet in diam
eter at the base and grows from 35 to
40 feet At the top the branches of
these giants droop over, giving pic
turesque effect. There are also masses
of the organ pipe cacti, growing about
IL feet high and adjacent to each other,
so that they look like the pipes of a
cathedral organ. One of the commonest
varieties is the snake cactus, which coils
around the trunks of trees like mon
ster serpent.
Between the coastal downs and the
mountain slopes, says Mr.. Leonard, is-a
desert of barren rock, which for months
will remain lifeleSs and colorless. But
in cups and cracks of the rock are bits
of soil capable of supporting vegetation.
So, following one of the rare showers at
night, literal miracle takes place. The
traveller wakes to find a great mass of
color as far as the eye can see, with the
brown bushes covered with blossoms.
Conspicuous among these are bushes of
the lantana family, about a foot high,
which grow in long lines, so that when
the wind strikes them after shower
1t seems like an ocean of gorgeously col
ored wave crests.
Practically Uninhabited.
The desert region is practically unin-
tabited, except by few fishermen who
dwell near the coast. The explorers
were treated with the utmost courtesy,
but one day some native saw Mrs. Leon
ard combing her hair and was so i'm
pressed that all the neighbors were
called to watch the sight. From that
time on considerable audiences would
gather whenever she was combing her
hair outside the tent, and they some
times would beg her to repeat the
process.
The jungle country offered difficulties
of its own. Practically the only trails
we're those made by wild goats, and
these were arched with vegetation. so
that the explorers pursued their studies
by moving through vast green tunnels
The chief fauna of the island consisted
of domestic animals run wild, including
goats, dogs, cats and pigs.
