\ ASK GATES GUARD GRADE CROSSINGS Bommissioners Requested to 1/ Act Until Money Is Avail- able for Elimination. A recommendation that gates be erected at three of the remaining ®rade crossings in Washington until funds can be obtained to eliminate these danger points was made to the Commissioners yesterday by Roland Brennan, chief clerk of the engincer department. Mr. Bernnan's report to Engineer Commissioner Bell stated the follow- ing conditions exist at five crossing: At Chestnut street in Takoma Park, a watchman is kept part of the time. At Blalr road, or the Lamond cross- ing, a warning bell rings. At Michigan avenue, gates, watch- man and warning device. At Bates road there is nothing. At Quarles street, Kenilworth, there are two bells, gates, watchman and a signal tower. Calls Attention to Raule. The chief clerk's report calls at- tention to a police regulation re- quiring that all grade crossings be protected by bells and gates or other warning devices, He suggested that under that ulation the Commis- sloners take up with railroad officlals the erection of gates at Chestnut street, Bates road and Blair road. These would be temporary expedi- ents pending the preparation of the proposed bill to provide for the elimi- nation of the crossings by erection of or_viaduets.

Mrs. Catherine Everett, Mrs. E. | Snowden Bell and E. Francls Riggs were the incorporators of the Wash- ington Home for Incurables. Mrs, {Catherine Everett was president of the organlzation, Mrs. E. Snowden Bell, vice president; Mrs. J. Corson, secretary, and Mrs. E. Phillips, cor- responding secretary and treasurer. Francis Riggs and Thomas Hyde were named the trustees. | After five years at its Merldian | street quarters a moVe to its present site, 32d and R streets was made pos- sible by the donation of $50,000 by | Miss Bessie J. Kibbey. This bought the present site, and a home was built leaving a lien for $10,000. Miss Kibbey later donated the $10,000. For twenty-five years this last dona- {tion on the part of Miss Kibber was kept at her request a secret. Built Wing With Gift. Later Mrs. Laird of Georgetown left a bequest of $6,000 which built the Laird wing cf the present build- ing.

Not knowing where to leave his money Mr. Hopkins prevailed | upon the man.to donate his $6,000 to ! the Washington Home for Incurables, thus making an old soldler the plo- ' neer donor of the present day maint- enance fund which provides for civil- ians what the government provided | for the soldier. | In 1894 Mrs. Archibald Hopkins be- | came president of the institution and bas since held that position almost, continuously. Assisted by other prominent Washingtonians she suc- | ceeded in getting Congress to grant ! a small yearly appropriation and an appropriation for the Installation of an elevator in the building. In 1910 Congress raised its appropriation to $5,000 yearly. - Merchants Give Food.
