Lecal Needs Brought te the Attention of the Senate Subcom- mittee. ° The subcommittee of the Senate commit- tee on appropriations in charge of the District appropriation bill gave a hearing this morning to a number of citizens in- terested in having the bill before them amended. Mrs. E. 8. Mussey, chairman of the com- mittee on legislation of the District Feder- ation of Women’s Clubs; Mrs. J. Ellen Foster and Mrs. Murray, who represented tho Colored Women’s League, appeared in behalf of an appropriation of $12,000 to es- tablish kindergartens as a part of the pub- lic school system, this amount having been asked for by the Commissioners in their estimates. Gen. Geo. H. Harries, commanding the District of Columbia National Guard, ap- peared in behalf of appropriations for the local militia and also for public schools. *Gen. Ellis Spear called the attention of the committee to a number of needed in- creases in the appropriations for the pub- lic_schcols. Mr. Theodore W. Noyes, president of the board of trustees of the Free Library, talk- ed to the subcommittee in favor of an ap- prepriation for the library. William G. Henderson, president of the North Capitol and Eckington Citizens’ Association, asked that $1,000 be allowed to pave the west half of North Capitol street between P and Q streets. Gen. William Birney objected to that par- egraph of the bill whicn authorizes the Commissioners to turnish Potomac water to churches without charge. He said there was no more reaton for furnishing the churches water free of cost than there would be for furnishing them gas without charge. Rev. P. J. Garrigan, vice rector of the Catholic University, asked for an appro- Ppriation of $15,000 for purchasing land and improving Michigan avenue from North Capitol street to Lincoin avenue. He said the building of Trinity College for women on that avenue was being delayed because of the unimproved condition of the thor- oughfare, and represented the great con- venience such an improvement would be for the Catholic University, o. AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN. News Items Gathered West of Rock Creek. There was some commotion Thursday night in the vicinity of the country resi- dence of Major George A. Armes, at the junction of the Grant road and Connecticut avenue extended, caused by a woman, formerely in the employ of Major Armes, who secured an entrance te the house early in the evening and alarmed the female in- mates, who were then the only occupants. Word was sent for policemen, and Mounted Officers Law and Easley responded. The wo- man was taken out of the house.She claimed that Major Armes owed her a bill for por- trait painting, and also something like $100 for dressing a wound on his leg, payabie according to an agreement at the rate of $1 per dressing. After being removed, the wo- man remained in the vicinity. When Major Armes returnéd, about midnight, he passed in the house witnout being seen by her, but the ligh: in his room attracted her attention and she rapped on the window. She was ordered away, it is said, but refused to go. Major Armes. secured a shotgun and fired the weapon to frighten her, but this had no effect upon her, and she paced up and down the grounds about the house, and on the front porch, remaining until 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, during all of which time, i Is alleged, she had nothing to eat. Major Armes, it is understood; denies the woman's charges. The hours of Sunday service at Trinity Catholic Church have been changed the first time in many years. There will be no more 6 and 8 o’clock masses, and late mass will not begin at 10:30 as heretofore. The new schedule establishes masses at 7 and ¥ o'clock, with high mass at 11 o'clock. The Sunday school, instead of commencing at 9 o'clock, will in the future convene at 9:30. At the late mass tomorrow the sermon will be delivered by Rev. John F. Quirk, S. J., of Georgetown University, it being the finst of a series on the last words of the Savious on the cross. The text wili be, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Rev. Martin J. O'Donoghue, assistant pas- tor of St. Peter’s Church of Washington, will deliver the sermon tomorrow at the late mass at St. Stephen’s Church, corner 25th street and Pennsylvania avenue. Beginning Monday evening revival ser- vices will be held nightly during the week at the West Street Presbyterian Churcb, with preparatory service Saturday f munion. Able and distinguished revivai 5 have beeen invited to aid the pastor, Rev. W. C. Alexander, D. D. A change has been made in the program of the dedicatory services tomorrow at the Dumbarton Avenue M. E. Church. Bishop Hurst will not preach at 11 o'clock, his place being taken by Rev. George Elliott, D. D., a former pastor, who will also de- liver the sermon at 3 o’clock in the after- noon. The Junior Society of the Gay Street Bap- tist Church celebrated Washington's birth- day, an interesting program being arranged for the occasion, which opened with the singing of “My Country, "Tis of Thee. After prayer by the pastor, a dialogue was participated in by nine of the little girls of the society, followed by a recitation by Walter Miller. The program included a chorus, by society, “Onward Christian Sol- dier;” recitation, by seph Fowler; solo, by Lottie Kaldenbach; recitation, by Gracie Newman; chorus, by society, “Oh, To Be Something;” “A Few Facts About Wash- et by Flossie Hall.

The District Commissioners today sub- mitted to Senator McMillan, chairman of the Senate District committee, a report on the amendment intended to be proposed by Senator Penrose to House bill 6897, rela- five to public lamps equipped with the improved Welsbach incandescent burners. ‘The Commissioners state that for some years past they nave endeavored to obtain congressional authority to use improved burfners for street lighting, with a view to determining tne desirability for the use in the city of burners of the character of the Welsbach. The pending District appro- priation bill, as it passed the House, con- tains a provision by which $500 of the street lighting appropriation may be used for the maintenance of Welsbach or other improved form of lamps, provided, the Commissioners say, the provision is slight- ly amended so as to mean what was in- tended. A recommendation has been made by them to the Senate appropriations com- mittee, the Commissioners explain, for au- thority to use $3,000 of the street lighting appropriation, with a removal of the re- strect lighting, with ed burners, as desirable auring the next fiscal year. ——_-_— . 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st. 924, 926, 928 7th, running through to 704-706 K st. “The Dependable Store.” The greatest one-day specials ever gotten together by any store.
