Citizens Plan to Raise Funds
to Make Fight on Pro-
posed Change.
DIVERSION OF TRAFFIC
HELD SCHOOL DANGER
Committee, With Members From
Each Street in Vicinity,
Is Being Named.

Determined to oppose vigorously a
proposal that has been put forward to
close Michigan avenue at the grade
crossing near Catholic University, resi-
dents of the surrounding section met
last night at 1912 Twelfth street north
east and authorized the appointment Of
special committee to draw up resoIu-
lions protesting against such action
and to raise funds to combat this pro-
gram.
William NJ Deviny, president of the
Michigan Park Citizens Association,
presided at the gathering, at which
about sc interested property owners at
tended. He insisted that one of the
most vital reasons why Michigan avenue
should not be closed and traffic should
not be diverted around by way of Nom
roe street and Tenth street is that
there are three schools and an orphan
asylum at Tenth and Monroe streets.
The throwing of additional traffic onto
Monroe street, by closing Michigan
avenue, will jeopardize the lives of the
children who attend the Brookland
Public School, St Anthony's Parochial
school, st. Anthonys High School and
the Baptist Home for Children, Mr..
Deviny said.
Other Arguments Used.
Addresses. setting forth various
phases OF the problem, were delivered
by E. j. Brennan, Charles Evans. w. D.
Barr, G. j. Hausler and j. J. DonnellaY1
included IN the arguments used against
the closing of Michigan avenue were
those that contended that Michigan
| avenue is boulevard, while Monroe
street is merely side street; that there
is ample room for traffic now on Michi-
gan avenue, while Monroe street is at
present heavily Travelled, and that the
(r0VnrnO ic
OF dollars to straighten and widen
M1ch1gan avenue near Trinity College
10 take two small kinks out, and If the
grade crossing is closed, then It will
| mean that traffic, travelling around BY
way OF Monroe and Tenth streets, will
have to execute 90-degree turn.
| The speakers made it clear that they
nave no objection to the widening of
the Monroe street viaduct over the BAL
timore & Ohio Railroad tracks. but
that they are insistent that Michigan
avenue be not closed.
Namin' Committee Today.
Mr.. Deviny, who was instrumental in
calling last nights meeting, at which
MI. Hausler acted as secretary proposes
| 70 appoint the personnel of the cof11.
| mtttee authorized last night. He ex-
poets to complete the list some time to-
day and desires to place on his BODY
women and men, two from each street
IN the interested region. There will be
about 80 on the committee.
The community will make an effort
to enlist the services of real estate men
ana institutions east of the railroad
tracks, in endeayoring to insure that
Michigan avenue shall remain open.
Among the organizations to be ap-
preached in this connection are St,
Gertrude's Home and the religious
orders OF the Carmelitess Benedictines
and Franciscans.

 What is wrong with that?
 $500,O00 is quite a sum of money.
 While John Rustgard was drawing his $5,O0O from the Ter ritorial Treasury, Paul proposed to bring $500,OO0 of real money into the Territory to benefit log gers and merchants alike. Paul got turned down while the For est Department is helping MT. Rustgard transfer from his pre- sent job to a better paying one.

 Ask any logger and he will tell you that if he could find a mar ket for the hemlock, he could make money logging. The For est Department compells the loggers to log it, and yet the mills won't buy it. These log gers have told Paul that if he could find a market for it, it would be a great blessing.
 The proposition Paul put up to the Forest Department was this-that the Department give him a permit to export the logs for just one year, after which time, the matter could be recon sis!ered.

you think it's best?"

Dale had gone to a telephone
In the corner Of the room and
called Ebert Bailey. He made
arrangements for the letters to
be picked up and said he would

Of action.

"It's that fascnlatin' I'd even

The body of the unfortunate
victim was undisturbed. It was
slouched down behind the steer

death was quickly obvious. A
bullet hole directly through the
head. Death must have been
instantaneous. The pockets Of
this victim had also been ram

left. 1t was a small notebook
with q number of names and
addresses. This book was Inn

About a hundred yards south
of Briar Road was another

The crime, it developed, had
been discovered by q young
lad, Tim Scott. He resided in
one Of the three houses on
