UNDER NEW LAWS Meeting of the South Washington Citizens’ Association. A REVISED CONSTITUTION ADOPTED The Disease-Breeding James Creek Canal Discussed. NO CREMATORY WANTED Judging from the enthusiasm and deter- mination displayed at the regular meet- ing of the South Washington Citizens’ As- sociation, held last evening in the gym- nasium of the Washington Athletic Club, the proposed garbage crematory in that section of the city will fail to become a reality; the obnoxious James Creek canal fs to be wiped out of existence; much- needed improvements, such as a new sys- tem of sewerage and paved streets, are soon to materialize with refreshing rapidity, and the region south of the Capitol will develop fhto as desirable a residence locality as any in the District. New Constitution Adopted. The meeting was callzd to order by the president, Dr. E. C. C. Winter, and, after the reading by Secretary Henry Storey of the minutes of the previous meeting, it was an- nounced by the chair that action on the) new constitution of the association was in order. The constitution was read and adopted by unanimous vote. It sets forth the objects of the association to be the consideration of and action upon matters relating to the commerce, prosperity and advancement of the materixl interests of South Washington, and states that the or- .| ganization shall give special attention to the promotion of public improvements. It is provided that any reputable citizen or property owner of South Washington May become a member of the association. Regular meetings are to be held on the first Monday of each month at 8 p.m. The an- nua, election of officers and additional members of the executive committee, it is stipulated, shall take place on the first Monday in November in each year. Some Stirring Speeches. Mr. Maurice Fitzgerald pointed out the Prospects for a successful future for the association, and then Mr. Shea, a new member, made a brief but stirring address. Mr. Shea declared that the remainder of the city must be given to distinctJy under- stand that the southwestern section is not to be used as the dumping ground for the entire District. The association, urged Mr. Shea, must insist on the abolition of the James Creek canal and en its share of street improvements. He referred to the great work that has been accomplished by the citizens’ associations of other sections, and added that the southwest citizens can certainly do as much. Mr. Shea, in closing, suggested that the association endeavor to aid the beard of trade in the removal of the present Long bridge, which ne charac- terized as a nuisance, and also in wiping out the evils of Jaekson City. “Of course,” concluded Mr. Shea, ‘‘all this cannot be ac- complished in a moment, but it can be done gradually.” In an enthusiastic speech Mr. Edwards, ene of the younger members, urged that circulars be issued or a committee appoint- ed to canvass the business men of <outh- west Washington with a view of enlisting them as members of the association. Mr. R. J. Collins expressed the hope that when the city is bonded in the sum of $7,000,000, if it ever is, for new system of sewerage, the southwest section will make a strong effort to overcome its native mod- esty and be sufficiently wideawake to de- mand its share. Mr. David Murphy remarked that as a constitution had been adopted, the associa- tion would now certainly make creditahle strides forward, after which, on motion of Mr. Edwards, it was voted that every member present at the meeting exert him- self to secure new members before the next meeting—in short, make a race of it. Milk or the Canal. ‘The following letter from the Washington Athletic Club, headed “Is it Milk or James Creek Canal?” was then read by the secre- tary of the club, Mr. Charles Howison: “In a report of the investigating commit- tee, appointed to look after the causes of so much sickness and typhoid fever in the city, especially in the southwestern section, it appears that the committee in almost every instance have wanted to know where the water and milk come from which the patient or patents had been using. Now, it 1s very evident that in nearly every case of fever the physicians recommend milk as a food alone, until the fever has subsided. And it is hardly reasonable that a cow giv- ing forth germs of typhoid fever in her milk would be very healthy or live very long, according to the statement of several dairymen. And as for the water—Potomac water has always been considered very healthy, and has stood remarkable analy- ses, and the Commissioners have had nearly every well in the city filled, so we can hardly attribute the causes to pump wa- ter. “But we can find causes, and very prob- able ones, if we only look at the terrible sewerage system of the city; for instance, the James Creek canal, where one of the main sewers of the entire city empties its filthy mouth at Virginia avenue and South Capitol street; and this enormous body of filth flows, or rather drifts, slowly through the southwestern section of the city, and empties finally into the Eastern branch at the terminus of the arsenal grounds, thus infecting more than a mile of the city, with its deadly odors and thickened waters con- tinually boiling from the bottom of this death trap. If any of our good citizens care to know whether or not this be true, just let them stand for a few min- utes on either M or N street bridges in the morning or evening, and they will soon sce and smell what the citizens of this section have had to endure for years, though the horrible stench and sickly odors increase in this sewer as the city grows. There is also another diseased hole emptying into the Eastern branch near the south end of New Jersey avenue southeast, and this, together with James Creek canal, keeps the waters of the Eastern branch almost thick with night soll and diseased matter from the navy yard to the arsenal. There has been so little rain during the past two months that these sewers, which are never in the best of condition, have become gorged with filth, and thus arise the causes of so much sickness this season, for heavy rains do make a vast improvement in the sewers, as we have noted in the past. There have been four cases of typhoid fever in our immediate neighborhood in the past two months, and three of the four have proved fatal. So please give us a bet- ter sewerage system. Arch over the James Creek canal, and the health of the entire sity’ will be greatly benefited.” ‘The letter was approved and ordered in- corporated into the minutes of the meeting. Proposed Garbage Crematory. Considerable discussion then ensued re- garding the proposed garbage crematory, during which Mr. Black related that early in the evening he had entered the inclosure to observe what was taking place at the site for the furnace, but was promptly “hustled” out and told to “get & move on” in a manner far from gentle. Mr. Benjamin Kidd caused much amuse- ment by a short story, the gist of which was that the water of the James Creek canal is so dense that ordinary loosely construct- ed boats cease leaking as soon as they enter the canal from the eastern branch. Some one in the rear of the room next inquired !f ee water in question would stop a leaky roe. Fitzgerald outlined the system upon which the association will in the future proceed with its work. He was followed by Mr. George Martin, who cautioned the as- sociation to.be careful in approaching Ccn- gress with Its woes. “If we describe too graphically the odors adjacent to it,” Mr. Black, “the Maryland delegation in Congress is apt to remove the Capitol and leave the garbage crematory with us.” “aA long-drawn-out discussion followed as to the method of notifying membezs of meetings, the final decision being to adver- tise the announcement in the daily papers, and to address 4 postal card to each mem- ber. No agreement was reached on a proposi- tion for securing new members and raising funds, so after remarks by Rev. Mr. Dent and Mr. Cross, colored, the association ad- journed to meet the first Monday In Novem- ber, unless sooner called together by the . Each of those present was urged to have at least five new members and as rag ladies as possible at the next meet- Ladies will be welcomed as members and be entitled to full suffrage rights. es MIXED-UP CASE. Edward Flemming, a Blonde Actress and n Complicated Plot. Edward Flemming, a steam fitter, who de- clined to state whether or not he has a wife, was a defendant in the Police Court yesterday, in a case in which women and strong drink seem to have caused the trou- ble. “A good looking young “blonde, Mrs. Anderson, who is known on the stage as Sadie Winston, appeared as the prosecuting witness. She was not seriously hurt, but she claimed that she was the victim of a censpiracy, and she wanted the court to de- cide the disputed questions. Joseph B. Flemming, the defendant's brother? played ‘an interesting part in the transaction, and then went on the witness stand and told of his conduct-with the blonde. ‘The trouble all happened in house No. 1314 Pennsylvania avenue, where Mrs. Roubles has an umbrella store. She rents rooms in the house, and among the roomers was a Mr. Fenton and his family. The blonde, who plays minor parts on the stage, occupies the top floor. She told Judge Miller that Mrs. Roubles’ husband 1s in Europe, and that Edward Flemming has been visiting her (Mrs. Rou- Eles). This Flemming did not deny, and he also said they went car riding and drank beer together. On the evening. of the trouble in Mrs. Roubles’ kitchen Edward Flemming and Mrs. Roubles were out car riding. “I don’t remember whether we only went to Schiadt’s summer garden in George- town,” hé said, “or whether we went to Glen Echo.” At any rate they returned too soon for Joseph Flemming, and the blonde, for when Mrs. Roubles went in the room, where they were, she called to Edward Flemming, “Come in here and see what's going on.” “It's the plot of a bold, bad woman,” shouted the actress, so she told Judge Mil- ler. She charged that Edward Flemming then assaulted her. In telling the court of the occurrence, she said she sat on the steps with Joseph Flem- ming. He went out and bought mixed drinks. She took one of them and threw away the others. Mrs. Anderson, or Miss Winston, told the court of the alleged conduct of Edward Flemming, who has visited Mrs. Roubles, and Mr. Fenten was examined. He had made complaint about the alleged bad conduct of the blonde, and said that on the occasion charged the young woman complained that she had been assaulted. It was such a mixed up mess, the judge said, that he could hardly tell anything about the case. The charge against Ed- ward Flemming was dismissed. —_—_—_—_ RELEASED ON BAIL. The Man Accused of Kicking a Boy to Death. John A. Culp, who was committed to jail several days ago by 8rder of the coroner, to answer che charge of kicking a small boy, one Dougherty, to death, was released on bail today in the sum of $5,000, Andrew Oehmann, S. J. Block and John and Fred- erick Blumer qualifying as sureties.

TUCKER AGAIN: PRESIDENT Sharp Talk Betwon Members Who} Disagree, THE “GRADE CROSSINGS Last night the annual meeting of the Northeast Washington Citizens’ Association was held at Lipp’s Hall,corner of 11th and H streets,and as the meeting was the occasion for the election of officers, there was evi- dence of considerable electloneering before the meeting was called to order. In opening the meeting, President Tucker sald that since the last meeting of the 1sso- elation he had noticed accounts in the news: papers of numerous grade-crossing accl- dents. He said that not only in this city but in all other parts of the country these accidents were troubling people. He re- ferred to the crossing at 7th street south- west, where there was a serious accident last week caused by the parking of cars. This dangerous practice, he said, is indulged in every day in the northeast section, and only a few days ago, he said, a member of the as- sociation came near losing his Ife. He thopent the time had come when the rail- road companies should 2 cars. The attorney for the District, he sald, had stated that there is no law covering the perking & car and he thought a law cov- eune th of the case should be Chairman W. A. Johnson of the street com- mittee tendered his resignation as such, for the reason that he had disposed of his prop- erty interests and had moved to another arte iresigeat ion was thanks of the association (eadered ‘hisn fer his services while holding this position. Electing Officers. President Tucker announced that the election of officers was in order, and re- tired from the room, leaving Maj. Burke, vice president, in the chair. Mr. Millard, in nominating Maj. Burke for the position of president, said that Maj. Burke was the association’s vice president, and he believed in civil service. In making the nomination, he said that Mr. Tucker seemed to have only one idea, and that was about the question of rail- roads and railroad crossings. Every night the association meets, he said, Mr, Tucker makes a railroad speech. “And,” said Mr. Millard, “I, for one, am getting tired of it.” Mr. Donaldson raised a point of order, aud Mr. Millard said he was only giving his reasons for making the nomination. “Then,” said Mr. Donaldson, “you should have made your remarks when he (Tucker) was present.” “I certainly should have made them,” re- torted Mr. Millard, “fn his presence, but he left the room of his own accord.” Mr. Chappell arose to seeond the nomina- tion of Maj. Burke, and in so doing fol- lowed in the line of the remarks made by Mr. Millard. He dwelt, upon the fact that the association is no tonger an anti-grade crossing association, but ‘that it is a citi- zens’ association. Mr. King interrupted, saying he did not come to the meeting to be talked to death. The chair, however, decided that the speaker was out of arder. Mr. Millard, during the course of his re- marks, said that reports were spread abroad that people in Northeast Washing- ton are constantly being killed, and are in danger, and these widespread reports have the effect of deteriorating the value of property. He had heard: these reports in other cities, and he thought it about time that an end was put to this. Mr. Tucker Elected. Mr, Tucker was renominated, and after considerable wrangling as to the eligibility of voters a vote was taken, which resulted in the choice of Mr. Tucker, and on mo- tion of Maj. Burke the election was made unanimous. Several persons were nominated for the position of secr.tary, among them the pres- ent incumbent, Mr. Flanagan. Mr. Martin in making a speech in favor of Mr. Sowerbutts said that Mr. Flanagan had been sick and he thcvght he also lived some distance from Mr. Tucker, the presi- dent, and this, he said, was an inconve- nience. When he had concluded his remarks, Messrs. Millard and Chappell arose to champion the. cause of Mr. Flanagan, charging that he had been attacked and complained against by Mr, Martin. This Mr. Martin denied, and Mr. Flana- gan said he needed nobody to fight his bat- tles. Lively Talk. Mr. Martin regained the floor and charged that Mr. Millard and Mr. Chap- pell were always ready to complain when things did not go their way. He denied that he hai attacked Mr. Flanagan and said that Mr. Millard had said ungentle- manly things about members and had not been man enough to apologize. “What's that?” shouted Mr. Millard, ex- citedly. ‘What's that?” he repeated as he advanced toward Mr. Martin. There was a dead silence, and watchers expected to see a personal encounter. But Mr. Martin refrained from repeating what he said, and Mr. Millard returned to his chair. Mr. Flanagan declined to be a candidate and Mr. Sowerbutts was elected secretary. Mr. A. H. F. Holsten was elected treas- urer and Mr. John R. Colvin was cHosen financial secretary. Members of the executive committee were elected as follows: W. J. Frizzell, J. ROYAL BAKING POWDER. Absolutely Pure. A cream of tartar baking! powder.

When the election was over Mr. Tucker returned, and in his speech of thanks told the members that the presidency of the association was no “snap.” He told of the responsibility of the office, and he felt that his election at this time was a great honor, as it was at least an approval of his course during the past year. In conclusion, he promised to do all in his power for the gcod of the people of the northeast. os far as the association is concerned he said its deeds were great and numerous, and he had heard from persons in other sections that the association, although young,was very influential. The work of the associaticn, he said, has had a good moral effect on the people. The population has increased, and this increase, he thought, Was, in a measure, due to the association’s efforts to-get that to which the section is justly entitled. “We must get rid of grade crossings,” he said. “We must get rid of the surface tracks and then we will get the improve- ments. So far as he was concerned he wanted it to go forth that the association ‘would fight the Baltimore and Ohio railroad until it modernizes its road. The transaction of business of minor im- Fertance followed, and the association ad- journed. ———= deooee: Tainted Blood Poisoned my whole system, local troubles being the origin of my suffering.
