Interest in the public investigation of the Knickerbocker Theater disas- ter by Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt, District coroner, was shown last night at a meeting of the East Washington Citi- zens' Association, held in East Wash- ington Hall. Dr. Charles M. Emmons, president, said he thought the coroner should be commended for his fair and impartial investigation of the disa: ter, and suggested that the Distri Commissioners tender him the use of the boardroom in the Distfict building for the holding of the more important investigations. . The coroner, Dr. Emmons asserted, is_one of the poorest-paid District officials. His pay, it was added, should be equal to that of the health officer, his duties being of so much importance. Charles S. Zurhorst also paid the coroner a high compliment for the manner in_which he conducted the Knickerbocker disaster investigation and said he thought the District morgue, where bodies are kept, is not always a fit place for the holding of inquests. The morgue should be properly built and equipped, he said, and centrally located. Dr. Emmons’ suggestions were put in the form of a motion and adopted. The question of street improve- ments was brought to the attention of the association by President Em- mons and_discussed by C. Howard Buckler and Charles . Grose. Dr. Emmons said the several snowsorms had affected many of the streets, leav- ing holes in asphalt and macadamized streets. Mr. Zurhorst called attention to the situation at the navy vard,and ex- pressed the hope that Congress would find a way to relieve the men af- fected. 3 The assoclation passed a resolution deploring the death of Samuel W. Curriden, one of its oldest members, who died in Florida recently. Se retary Buckler was directed to trans- mit a copy. of the resolution to the daughter of the deceased. URGES MORE ADEQUATE D. C. LIBRARY FACILITIES Correspondent Also Cites Need of Better Pay for Members of the Profession. To the Editor of The Star: Every one in Washington who makes use of the Public Library or books and other forms of literature in general ought to come out with an urgent plea for abundant pro- vision for adequate library facilities. To round out its educational advan- tages and make it the greatest of all centers of learning, Washington needs a plentiful supply of branch libraries and well paid librarians. As a former humble librarian draw- ing one of the humble salaries that are paid to librarians, the writer is able to speak on this subject out of the fullness of her heart and bitter experience. Library salaries are still so insignificant that they do not cov- er the necessities of decent living, and the recipients of them could not possibly stay in the service if they did not live at home. Many members of the profession have been compelled to desert for that reason, after they have invested money and time in ex- pensive training, such as library standards require. My latest visit paid to the Wash- ington Public Library, Saturday aft: ernoon at 5 o'clock, revealed a full attendance in every division which I entered, only a chair here and there being vacant. The usual throng was gathered about the card catalog cab- inets and the front doors were in- o cessantly swinging In and out with ;ha throng that was coming and go- ng. Because of the high value which T place upon library work and the pride which I have in Washington, I have suffered a good many pangs at the adverse remarks made about the Public Library, but it is deeply dis- ! appointing to fill out book slips and, after awaiting one’s turn at the delivery desk, to receive the information, “That book is out”; but this happens over and over,- ani some other book must be supstituted. One book was waited for for weeks, even after putting in a request to be notified of its return, and it was a book on a popular enterprise that is y THERE'S CERTAINLY A THRILL A GOLF cLuB AFTER You HAVENT PLAYED : E toR' A couPLE . of MOMTHI! 1N SWINGING .

FoR THE LOVE ofF MKE, URGESLUMP SUM FORARMY NEEDS Secretary Wgeks Promises Record for Economy if Request Is Granted. Secretary Weeks promised that the War Department will make a record for economy during the next fiscal year if given a lump sum appropria- tion when he appeared yesterday be- fore the subcommittee of the House appropriations committee now fram- ing the Army supply bill. Discussing In executive, session the financial needs of the Army as repre- sented by the budget bureau estimates submitted to Congress, Secretary Weeks was understood to have ex- pressed the beNef that the expendi- tures of certain bureaus could be de- creased considerably. He took the po- sition that it should be left to the de- partment executives to determine what savings could be made without decreasing efficiency. Protests “Ruthless Slashing.” Ruthless slashing by Congress of allowances for various actlvities, with stipulations that certain sums should be used for specified Durposes, the Secretary was said to have told the committee, might prove so restrictive as to hamper economical administra- tion of the Army. While Mr. Weeks was sald to have expressed the positive belief that a formidable saving could be made by his department, it was declared that ho refrained from specifying any amount. He reiterated his bellet that pro- vision should be made for an enlisted strength of 150,000 men, and expressed vigorous opposition to suggestions that the number be scaled down to 100,000 or 125,000. 14,000 Officers Needed. He was also said to have contended that an officer strength of 14,000 was needed, to be reached during the com- ing fiscal year by the discharge of in- eflicient officers and the commission- ing of a number of officers in the lower ranks. One of the possibilities of reducing expenditures during the coming year, it wae sald, wae that of curtalling the mounted unit activities of the National Guard. A big saving could be ‘made, according to members of the committee, if expenditures for mounted units were - limited to & low figure. —_— D. C. HEADS FAVOR BILL.

One swelters in wraps while waiting and wearily stands about because there is no place for seats. For- getting about the Wednesday after- noon closing and walking all the ‘way there with an armful of books only to come up against barricaded doors impresses one with the lamentable fact that the appropriation is too small to pay a sufficient number of librarians to keep the library open all of every day until 10 pm. Certain kinds of library work can merely be started in two hours. Going in at 7 and being turned out at 9 p.m. may chop one off in the middle of an im- | portant’ operation. e of the remarkable things about the modern library is that cataloging has been o 50 simple and practi- cable and intelligible that even the smaller school chiliren are able to make good use of the indexes, and| they swarm all around the cabinets in the school season. Surely the least that can be done for the education of the people is to put withig their reach all.the literature they need.

EDMONSTON’S WORK OF A. P. DESCRIBED. Chief of Washington Bureau Ad- dresses G. W. U. Journalism Class. The Associated Press was described as “the most successful example of a community effort in existence,” by L. C. Probert, chief of the Washington bureau of that organization, in an address before the class in journal- ism at George Washington University, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Probert told of the many mil- lions of dollars that were spent an- 'nually by this co-operative system of | gathering and distributing news, an all without conducting the business for profit, but merely to serve the 1,300 papers that made up the mem- bership. He described the way in iwhich it was organized and the method of electing directors and gen- eral officers. B The speaker alsp briefly sketched the history of news publications and the final development of systems for the exchange of news, the latter first being conducted for profit and later found to be more efficient on the co- operative basis. Contracts with for- eign press assoclations also were de- scribed, and It was explained that in handling political questions the As- sociated Press found it more satis " Not Wolf!

He criticised the obsolete “hat in hand’ method of gathering information, and con- demned those who referred contempt- uously to the workers as “just re- porters.” No higher compliment could be paid than to call a man just a re- porter, he said, if he was a good one “Such men were the torchbearers of the ‘lerce light of publicity’ that brought benefit to the world. They were the men who went into it as & lifework and regarded it as a pro- fession,” he declared. HARDINGS TO ATTEND. Ohio State Society Will Have Re- ception on April 10.
