CLEARING THE DIVISION. No Steps Will Be Taken by the Police Until Farther Notice. Several weeks ago the authorities de- cided to cause the removal of keepers of bawdy houses from the immediate vicinity of the Emergency Hospital because of the fact that so many respectable persons have occasion to go to the hospital day and night. Lieut. Amiss served notice on the keepers of these places and gave them un- til January 1 to move, but thus far they have paid not the slightest attention to the order and the matter will be reported to the Commissioners. Until further orders are received the police will take no steps in the matter. Some months ago the question of clear- ing the disreputable houses from 13th street was discussed. This move was desired by the many persons who are employed in the Agricultural Department because it is the airect route from the department to that part of the city north of Pennsylvania ave- nue, and a large majority of the employes reside north of the avenue mentioned. About three years ago these houses on 12th street were vacated because of an order from the police, and withcut much trouble. —— WANTED TO DIC. The Efforts of a Woman to Take Her Own Life.

Besides all this, the officers had received information that she was go- ing to leave the gity, and so the combine- tion of causes resulted in her arrest and detention. She was not put in an ordinary cell when first locked up, but was put in one of the witness rooms on the second floor. recms, though small, are comfortably fur- nished, and, with the exception of the iron bars covering the windows, there is not ing about them to indicate that they other than small hotel rooms.

SS Generous Gifts to a College. President Seth Low announced at the regu- lar meeting of the trustees of Columbia College at New York yesterday that two princely gifts had been made to the college of physicians and surgeons. One was of $350,000 from Cornelius, Wm. K., Fred. W. and George W. Vanderbilt, who contributed an equal amount each. The other was in the form of a resolve from Wm. D. Sloane to erect a new maternity hospital to con- nect with the present One and to form a part of it, the whole to be known as the Sloane Maternity Hospital. It is estimated that it will cost Mr. Sloane about $260,000 to carry out his intention, Mrs. Sloane, who is a sister of the Vanderbilts named, agrees to furnish funds for the mainten- ance of this new hospital after it has been erected, equipped and furnished by her 1920 N st.

The Sccond Methodist Church in This Conference to Adopt the Prac- tice—Other Items. An innovation in the District Methodist churches will be introduced here on next communion Sunday. The new feature will consist of the use of individual chalices at the communion service, instead of the one large silver goblet that has heretofore been exclusively used. Dumbarton is the second church in the whole Baltimore conference to adopt the individual cups. The service, which has already arrived from Rochester, N. ¥., is made up of five mahogany trays, about eleven inches in diameter, and twelve and a half dozen of small, plain but fine imported glasses. There will be thirty glasses to the tray. The first church in the Baltimore confer- ence to use the individual service was Grace of Baltimore. Theve it was intro- duced only about one week ago. The adop- tion of the cups by the church was made through its official board. The substitution of individual cups for the one now used by all communicants is spreading largely. It is commended on the grounds of health and propriety. Revival services will be begun at the Dumbarton Avenue Church next Sunday evening. It is expected that they will con- tinue for three weeks and even longer. The interest manifested will govern their duration. The arrangements already made provide for three weeks of services. Metho- dist pastors from all over the District will preside. On Saturday evening there will Bel no service. ‘The literary circle of the Dumbarton Church will hold its meeting tonight at 6:30, instead of 8 o'clock, so as not to inter- fere with the attendance at the united prayer services. On Friday next the meeting of the Sunday school board, for the purpese of electing Officers of the school, will be held. Golden Eagle Installation. At Dunlap’s Hall last night the installa- tion of the newly elected cfficers of Poto- mac Castle, No. 6, Knights of*the Golden Eagle, took place. The ceremony was 1m- pressively conducted by Grand Chief Wim. H. Signor, assisted by Grand Master of Records Geo. A. Warren, Deputy Grand Vice Chief Julius Schoenthal, Deputy Grand High Priest W. E.

An interesting paper on this subject was read by Mrs. Mary Ste- vens bell, which threw con: light on the life of the first President of the United States. His relations to tho: who worked clcse to him after he became such a prominent figure in the making of the nation furnished the topic for the pa per, which was made more interesting by the exhibition of many original documents cad papers, as well as cilicial copies made fore, during and after the war of the revolution, ‘The secretaries who a hington were referred to as com- three classes; private, 1 and some Vewe rs of y or more, al- effort though from the list all those whose relations with Washington were not of an intimate char- an acter. rst regular secretary wa Indian appointed during the French and in the spring of 1736.

A recording secretary cf his by the name of Varrick or Van Varrick, who was em- yed for the most part in copy: uments, was an intimate friend of nold’s, and as a result charges of dup! were brought dgainst him. Washington made a thorough examination of the mat- ter and all these charges were disproved. More than forty volumes of camp records are in the handwriting of Varrick or of eral's fir men who were employed by him as assist- | ants. Dr. Gallaudet followed the reading of the paper with a few remarks upon it, and the balance of the evening was devoted to a consideration of the origin of the false name of Stoughton street for Staughton | street in this city. ———— Stornge Company Election.

Business Transacted at Their First Meeting in the New Year. The board of directors of the board of trade held their first meeting after the holiday season in the rooms of the board, Ames building, yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. A number of the chairmen of the standing committces of the board of trade were also present, by invitation, to take part in the consideration of the special business of the meeting—the work of the board during the current year and the best methods of accomplishing it. The president, Mr. B. H. Warner, occu- pied the chair, Mr. John B. Wight per- forming the duties of secretary. ‘he members present then indulged in an informal discussion of the District's inter- ests in Congress during the present ses- sion. It was the unanimeus opinion that the bill providing for an issue of bonds for sewer and street extension should be ur cn the attention of our lawmakers as a matter of vital public importance tor the public health and the material prosperity of the District, and that its speedy pa sage would be the means of saving a large number of the lives of our citizens as well as a large amount of money. In view of these facts the board felt that no oppor- tunity should be lost for securing the pas- sage of the bill with the least possible delay. On recommendation of the committee on membership the following named gentlemen were elected members of the board of ! trade: br. Wm. W. Johnston, Rev. George William Douglas and Messrs. Wm. A. Me- loy, barr & Sanner, J. C. Dowell and Jonn B. Lord. After action had been taken defining the duties of the committees on insurance, uni- versities, sewerage and public library, the secretary brought to the notice of the board the coming convention of the national board of trade, to be held in this city be- ginning the 20:h instant. The officers of the board of trade were instructed to ex- tend the proper courtesies to the delegates to the convention. The president was fur- ther authorized to appoint four delegates to the convention on the part of the board. The secretary was then authorized to select a suitable date for the next meeting of the board of trade, about the 2ist or “2d of the present month. The committee on trade organizations was requested to confer with the labor organiza- tions in regard to the proposed bond issue — BY INVISIBLE Rops.

Two well-dressed young men, Charles McKinley and Charles Everett, were locked up last evening by the detectives on va- rious charges of swindling, and tomorrow they will be tried in the Police Court. It is charged that they have been using bo- gus checks, which, the police say, are as plentiful now as snow flakes were only a few days ago.

Three small boys—thirteen, ten years, respectively—left their homes in the vicinity of 2d and C streets northeast, Sinday afternoon, and start- ed in the direction of J. H. Flanna- gan's Jewelry store, on 7th street, because they had been told that they would have no trouble to rob the window. Several weeks ago the window was smashed and rcbbed, and’ there had been a box put against the opening to protect the articles in the window from thieves. These young beys waited until after sundown, and then they committed the robbery without much trouble, getting about $30 worth of combs and various small articles, such as weuld be found in such an establishment. On their way home the boys stopped at Scott’s cigar store, corner of Pennsyivania avenue and 41-2 street, and robbed the shew case. Two of the boys did not re- turn home Sunday night, and yesterday morning Policemen Barney and Elisworth twelve and to dispose of the plunder.
