NORTHEAST CITIZENS The Association Discusses Railroads, Lights and Schools. GETTING READY FOR CONGRESS The Use of Basements for Schools Denounced. A “PARK WANTED There was a hot-weather meeting of the Nertheast Washington Citizens’ Associa- tion heid last night at the hall 11th and H streets. The meeting of the association will be held throughout the summer, as it 1s the desire of the officers to keep the members together so that when Congress meets in December there will be a large membership, and believing as they do that “in union there is strength,” it is thought that a great amount of good will be ac- complished. New members of the association are being admitted at almost every meeting, and it {s thought that by the time Congress mects the membership will be so large that new quarters will have to be obtained. Committee Reports, Reports of committees were recelved last night. The chairmen” of several of the committees had no reports to make. Chatr- man Sowerbutts reported that his com- mittee, on water, lights and sewers, had not had a meeting. He called attention, however, to the fact that although there are underground electric wires on H street northeast there are no lights, and the ex- cuse given is that there is no money to pay for feeding them. “This may be true,” he said, “but while the lights on this line are cut off, the lights on some of the illegal overhead lines are not cut off.”” Chairman Dalrymple of the school com- mittee spoke of the necessity for more schools In the northeast section. He said that basement rooms in the Madison, Blair, Taylor and Pierce buildings have been fit- ted up, and about forty children will have to attend school in these rooms. This was done, he thought, for the pur- e of making places for the Normal School graduates. People, he said, often talk about the gas syndicate, but there is just as much syniicate In teachers as there fs In the gas business. The com- chairman dwelt at some length on t iestion of teaching and, charged that the minds of the children are terribly over- crowded “Is it for this member. “I'll leave that to you,” responded. He said that the school books are chang- ed from one year to another, and he thought there was the appearance of a Gincinnat! syndicate. He also said that there {s such a difference bettveen the teaching from year to year that it is hard to tell just what is wrong and what ts right. Mr. Dalrymple repeated his state- ment about the basement rooms, and said he thouxht it was about time that the schoo! offictals were studying hygiene. Mr Millard i he thought that base- ment rooms should not be used in this way, and he felt certain that the Commissioners had not sanctioned this move. Mr. C ll also spoke against the oc- cupation of these rooms, and Maj, Burke moved ‘that the association enter its sol- emn protest against the occupation of the rooms for such purposes. the teachers that are condition of affairs responsible asked a the chairman The motion was carried. Following the passage of this resolution there was a lengthy discussion on the «question of a new building wanted between the two lines of the railroad, so that chil- dren attendiz.g school shall not be required to eross the dangerous roads in going to and coming from schcol. Rellrond Matters. man Miller of the railroad commit- tee presented the committee's report. There is one recommendation that the railroad any be required to have a competent uman at each crossing. The commit- (0 recommended that the regulation requiring ilghts on the end of moving trains or engines be enforced. Frizzell told the members of the asso- won that since Its last meeting three gincers had heen fined, and he said that Mr. Pugh, the prosecuting attorney, had conducted the successful prosecution. Since these enginesrs were fined, eaid several members, there has been a’ great change in the rate of speed over the roads. President Tucker sald that a source of much annoyance to the people of Northeast Washington is the delay caused at the crossings. The conductors on the electric road, lve said, have to report all delays caused by the stopping of trains. Street Improvements. Chairman Johnston of the street com- mittee presented the following report: “The question of street Improvements is one that concerns every citizen of this Dis- and of Northeast ington, : © area of unim- reets. It is painfully appa vant men that Cha! equate to the needs of the section rowth is thereby greatly retarded that the residents of this sec- » best qualified to designate to the honorable Commissioners thos» streets that stand m in need of improvement, and we think that our recommendations as such should have the weight and effect to which we believe from loeation they are entitled to, as the only representative body of the northeast sect:on, “Bearing in mind our former declarations as to the wisdom of grading and regulating unopened streets in preference to the pay- tng of a few at a great expense and for t of a few to the detriment of the d, at the same time, realizing the difficulty in getting the Commissioners to consent to any radical change of the sched- ule as adopted by them, we have concluded to adopt the present schedule as framed by the Commissioners as the same stands to- day, and would at the same time respect- fully call their attention to the contemplat- ed improvement of 18th street from East Capitol to Emerson street, which now stands at the head of the'r list to be graded and regulated, and would show to them that said street is populated with only a few houses and little in need of the con- templated improvement at the estimated cost of $9,000 (as per schedule), while there are other streets In this section largely populated and in constant use, and badly in need of grading and regulating, and we would therefore respeetfully request that the said item of improvement be stricken out and placed at t! jot of the list and the amount estimated therefor be used In the Improvement of some other street or streets more needful of said improvement and which would better serve the welfare of this whole section. Having adopted the present schedule of the Commissioner: h the exception of the contempiated im. provement of 13th street from East Cap‘tol to Emerson street as hereinbefore set out, we would respectfully present to the hon- orable Commissioners the urgent necessity for the improvement of the following streets in the order as named, suggesting that they be added to the foot of the pres- ent schedule and that they be graded and macadamized instead of graded and regu- lated. The lst is as follows: “Tenth street, from I to Florida avenue; grade and macadamize. “Fifth street, from F to H; grade and Jamize. rth street, from F to G; grade and ize. h street, from H to K; grade and damize. “L street, from Ist to 5th, and 6th to Florida avenue; grade and macadamize. “K street, from 8th to 12th; grade and macadamiz Jallan street, from 6th to 7th; grade and macadam‘ze. “We would also at this time call attention to the urgent necessity for the iraprove- ment of the following suburban streets by grading and regulating, viz.: Gales street, from 15th to 16th, and Trinidad avenue, from Florida avenue to M street. There are many other streets in this section need- ing improvement, but your committee deem it unwise at this time to name any other streets until the presont schedule Is nearly exhausted, including the additions as above state: ‘There was a lively discussion engaged in by a number of members and the report yas adopted.

Follewing the discussion on the subject of street improvement, a resolution con- cerning the establishment of parks was of- fered, as follows: “Whereas there is an imperative and an increasing demand in the ncrtheast section of the city for more public parks and spaces for the comfort and convenience of its rapidly growing population, and where- as the piece of land fn said section known as ‘Graceland cemetery’ has been con- demned for cemetery purposes and is be- ing aoandoned for same, and whereas said piece of land ts admirably adapted for a Public park, be it “Resolved, That by and through its prop- er committee the Northeast Washington Citizers’ Association urge upon the author- itles of the District of Columbia the pro- priety of setting aside said piece of land as a@ public park. / “And be it further Resolved, That it fs the sense of this association that another park should be laid out in that section of the city bounded by Florida avenue on the north, 6th street on the east, K street on the south and North Capitol street on the wes The resolution was adopted and the Meeting adjourned. i READY FOR ATLANTA. Women’s Relief Corps and Its Pro- posed Exhibit. At the council meeting of the Woman’s Relief Corps of the Department of the Po- tomac, held recently in its headquarters, room 8, 612 F street northwest, a commit- tee on transportation to Louisville was appointed, to consist of Mrs. Montis, chair- man; Mrs. North of Anacostia, and Mrs. Martha Burgess of Burnside Corps. These ladles will be assisted by members of the department who have votes in the con- vention, Mrs. Ruth Roberts of Lincoln Corps and Mrs. Fuller of Farragut Corps. It is certain that a goodly number of tick- ets will be disposed of by the ladies what- ever route they decide to take. They will take action on Saturday of this week as to whether they go by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad or Chesapeake and Ohio. No woman's organization will have a finer display at the Atlanta exposition than the Woman's Rellef Corps. They will have literary work, consisting of a book compiled by Mrs. Hamilton and Mrs. Ball, leaflets for distribution, telling of the work of the national organization and its many auxiliaries, especially dwelling upon the result of efforts in patriotic teaching. It seems to be the general idea that the relief corps is purely a charitable order, but { should be known that one of the promises made upon joining the member- ship is ‘‘to inculcate lessons of patriot- ism.” One ‘of the past national presidents was the first to raise a flag over a school house. She was principal of a district school in Illinois, and with appropriate ex- ercises unfurled the stars and stripes. Ever since then the Woman's Relief Corps hi been instrumental in haying the children, all over the land, see “old glory” and know the meaning thereof. Mrs. Alice Burgess of Potomac Corps has been elected chairman of the executive board in place of Mrs. Mary Rose, who re- signed on account of her husband's con- tinued {l health and consequent removal of her fami‘ly to Ohio. 1 rgess has faith in the department president, being from the same corps, and will show by her activity that she has lost none of her interest in the good of tle order. EXCURSION Capt. Randal! announces a grand triple bill of amusement at River View for next Sunday. Minerva, the wondrous strong woman, and Herr Blatt will make their farewell appearance in two free perform- ances. The daring high-tower diver “Speedy” will make his first appearance on Sunday at River View, jumping from a tower eighty feet higk which ts now be- ing erected at River View into three and a half feet of water. The thousands of spec- tators who have been thrilled with sus- pense when viewing the unprecedented dive of Speedy from a platform to a tink of water eighty feet below have wondered at his challenge of fate as he speeds like an arrow from on high and haye for one brief moment held their breath, and then, seeing him emerge safely from the tank, break out in cheers and applause. It is not only a daring act, but one of the most beautiful exhibitions of athletics ever seen anywhere. Speedy is apparently unconcerned, but his feat is none the less thrilling, and ranks above anything of the kind ever before at- tempted. It has proved the act par ex- cellence among a score of wonderful fea- tures seen every day at the circus. Wednesday at River View is the popular day at this beautiful resort. There will be dancing all day and evening, with Chris. Arth, Jr.'s, superb orchestra in attendance. To make it doubly attractive Capt. Randall will present the marvelous Minerva and Herr Blatt in two free performances at 3 and 8 p.

Baltimore Union Carpenters Quit the Catholic University Work. MAY BECOME A NATIONAL QUESTION Action Taken Last Night by the Local Brotherhdod. CITIES TO BE AVOIDED The important announcement was made at the meeting last night of Local Union, No. 190, National Brotherhood of Carpen- ters and Joiners, that in compliance with the request of the union, sent, as was stated In The Star of Tuesday last, by the union here to Local Union No. 20 of Baltimore, all the members of the latter body who had been at work at the Catho- lic University have been called off and have already ceased working there. The meeting was interesting tn many ways, and several important matters were discussed. President W. E. Burner pre- sided and Mr. C. E. Sherer was secretary. After the minutes of the last meeting had been read and approved, the subject of the report of that meeting, as published in The Star, was brought up and speeches were made by Messrs, J. M. Heisley, Burner, Rose, and, tn fact, nearly or quite all pres- ent, with the result that by an unanimous vote Mr. Helsley, who is one of the vet- erans of the organization, was requested to prepare a resolufion of thanks, to be for- mally adopted at the next meeting of the union, and duly forwarded to the propri- etors of The Star for the fairness and cor- rectness of the report of the proceedings of the meeting, and its truthful and correct presentation of the points at Issue between the carpenters who belong to organized labor and some of the officials in charge of the work at the university. It was also determined to send a copy of The Star containing the article to the headquarters of the execut: board of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners at Philadelphia, with the understanding that the article will be published in the next number of the Carpenter, the offi- elal journal of the brotherhood, in order that the members of the brotherhood, who now number 00, throughout the United States, may be fully advfsed as to the status of the question at issue at the uni- versity. National Importance. Preliminzry steps were also taken to bring the question before the American Federation of Labor at the coming national convention of that body, and those who spoke in reference to the matter said that unless the question is speedily settled by Superintendent Brady granting the re- quests of the union as to pay of carpenters, the affair here will assume a national {m- portance. It was also stated that a rumor had reached some of the members that a friend of Bishop Keane has written to the bishop, who is now at the seashore, from Washington, acquaiating him with the fact that a storm is brewing here in reference to labor matters at the university, and re- questing his intervention before the trouble spreads to other organizatio In reference to the matter of . Local Union No, 29 of Baltimore calling off their members who were employed at the university at the request of the local union of Washington, !t was stated that no other course could have been pursu by the Baltimore union, as had any mem- ber of the brotherhood continued to work under the circumstances he would have been sithject to a fine of $25, and in the event of a refusal to pay the fine he would haye been Hable to expulsion from the local union, : question of the strike of the em- s of the Anacostia railroad m cussed, and much sympathy d for the men, and a pledge was 1 into that noe of the members of the union shall patronize the offending line un- til It concedes the demand for increase of pay asked for. Consolidating Unions. Mr. J. M. Heisley brought up the ques- tlon of “The Work of Consolidation Going on in Many Lo and after referring to what is taking place in this direction in Washington, submitted the following as his report: nce the advent of hard times, two ye ago, many impressive lessons haye been taught our local unions and members. The policy of economy in management and retrenchment of expenses was forced on many of them. And with it has come the adoption of the plan of consolidation in many localities, as was advised by our general secretary in his re- port to the United Brotherhood conyen- ton last Septemh: Chicago is making quite an Innovation in this direction, and, when completed, in- stead of thirty-two unions in that district, we will have them consolidated into about ten or twelve good, strong unions, at most. Indianapolis and a number of citles now see the adwantage of, the change since they adopted it. They find it is a saving of ex- pense for hall rent, officers’ salaries, dele- gates to rict councils, ete. It brings the members more closely together and leads to a better understanding, and far more effective work and harmony of action results in every way. Columbus, Ohio, proposes next to try it, and there is every reason to believe that the idea will be carried out by the local untons in Cleve- land, Ohio; Cincinnat!, St. Louis, New Or- leans, Milwaukee, Louisville, Omaha, New York and Brooklyn. Its adoption will lead to better attended meetings, a livelier in- terest in the organization and be an at- traction to new members. Places to Avoid. Attention was also called to the fact that while business has quite generally a more encouraging outlook in all parts of the country, still there are a number of cities overcrowded with carpenters. “This con- dition,” said the speaker, “has been brought about by ‘fake’ stories of real es- tate speculations ard canards of interested cheap labor schemes and fictitious news- paper booms. It is best for traveling chips not to touch such places or go near them, as it will injure both the resident carpen- ters ani rewcomers alike. Here are the places to be avoided for some time to come: Chicago, St. Louis, New York, Brooklyn, the whole Pacific.const, Kansas City, Win- nipeg, Lafayette, Ind.; Kalispell, "Mon.; Atlanta, Ga.; Pittsburg, Pa.; Williamsport, Pa.; Denver, New Oricans, Montreal, To- peka, Kan.; Milwaukee, Wis.; New Haven, Cenn.; Wheeling, W.

The play is a comedy, of cou , but there is in it a vein above the comedy iine, which calls for more seri- ous work than usually attempted during the heated term. Three acts of the play are in Paris, at the British ambassador's, and the Iast is at his Erglish home, where everything ends happily, after much in- trigue, treachery, misdirected love, suspi- cion awd all the other elements which go to make up a play. Mr. Bowser made a very distinguished ambassador,whose son Lionel (Mr. Coote) was a graceless scamp during thre2 acts and a hero in the fourth, while his flippant French frou frou of a wife (Miss Lawrence) was a hercine in disguise all the time. By the way, Miss Lawrence in this character took a higher range than ordinarily, and maifitained it well. Miss Sanders as a sweet sixteener was most re- freshingly so, end never was cuter in her life. Mr. Wheelock, her lover, completed an attractive duo. Mr. Mackay’s Guy Dun- bar wis handsome and serious, and Mr. Winter's Gervals Dupuis was quite foreign Miss Stevens, the good angel of the play, looked it and did it. Miss Didben won a round of applause as the maid, and Mr. Brooke as old servant to the ambassador was good. The settings of the play were better than usual, and the electric fans were favorites all the time. ee A Plena for Woman's Education. At the recent commencement of Howard School, at Wilmington, Del., the feature of the evening’s exercise was the address to the graduating class by Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of the Washington school board. Mrs. Terrell made a plea for the education of woman, while at the same time remind- ing woman of her responsibilitles. She spoke to her sex as the educators of the children of the future, and said, ‘Let me train the children of a people, and I care not who rules that people.” Mrs. Terrell entreated her hearers to lose no opportu- nity to educate themselves. In.these days of cheap books, she said, all that 1s neces- sary to secure a good library is taste and inclination. The cpportuniti¢s for the im- provement of the intellect are unlimited. — The Dental Examiners. The board of dental examiners for the District of Columbia has elected Dr. H. B.
