CHANBER T0 URGE K STREETWIENIG Will Send Spokesman to Zon- ing Hearing—Praise for Ball Club. Widening of K street from Four- teenth to Sixteenth will be urged by the Washington Chamber of Com- merce at a hearing before the Zoning Commission at the District Building Friday. This was decided at a meet- ing of the chamber's board of direct- ors last night The chamber feels that widening would be an improve- ment in the growing business section and a remedy for the traffic situation. The Washington ball team came in for praise, and the meeting grew enthusiastio over the prospects for having the world series played here. A letter of congratulation was sent to Clark C. Grifith, president, and Stanley Harris, manager, of the Nationals. Praise for Players. “The board of directors of the ‘Washington Chamber of Commerce have watched with deep interest the progress of the struggle being made by our team.” the letter said. "It would be improper to single out any individual member as a special sub- Ject of praise. “We do, however, wish to congratu- iate the owners, the manager and the individual players upon the gallant efforts being put forth and the won- derful team spirit manifested. ‘One for all and all for one’ is the motto of the team. No matter what may be the outcome, we are with you and for you, and wish to offer every possible encouragement for your continued and final success.” An appropriation of $50 was voted for the fund being raised for the widow and children of Raymond C. Lelsinger, police officer of No. 2 pre- cinct, who was shot and killed last week. PARK AND RADIO MEN AID LEISINGER FUND Patrolmen and Naval Opera- tors Add to Relief of Slain Man's Widow. The fund that is being raised for the benefit of the widow of Policeman Raymond C. Leisinger, who was mur- dered last week as he attempted to halt an automobile he believed to contain bootleggers, was swelled by | $60 today, with the receipt of a con- tribution from the park police force. In a letter inclosing the check to Maj. Daniel Suliivan, superintendent of police, Capt. W. L. of the park police, said: “This contri- bution, while comparatively small, carries with it a feeling of friendly interest and helpfulness from all members of the United States park police, ranging from the officer in charge to the newest recruit. It is hoped that the perpetrators of this cowardly act will be apprehended and adequately punished, and 1 wish to assure you of the earnest co-op- eration of this organization to as- complishing same.” at the Naval Radio Station, Radio, Va., also sent their check to the police chief today, with the comment: “The amount is not large; there are but a few men at this station, and it represents a 100 per cent spirit. The boys here are fairly well acquainted with the force in Washington and it is the respect this acquaintance has brought that fathers this move.” Plans for Raising Fund. ' Announcement was made today of a series of dances, the entire pro- ceeds of which will be presented to the widow of the murdered police- man. Proprietor Sam Steinberger has donated the Arlington Hotel roof for the dances, which are sched- uled for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday cvenings, September 16, 17 and 18, at the time of the Holy Name Society convention here.
