DESCRIBES HUMBLE PLIGHT OF CITIZENS Suter Tells Stanton Park People They Must Keep Up Fight for Suffrage. “Humbled petitioners” was title ap- plied to citizens of the District of Columbla by Jesse C. Suter, president of the Federation of Citizens' Asso- ciations, at a meeting of the Stanton ciation in the Pea- , Fifth and C streets last night. Congress, the Commissioners, the Board of Educa- tion and the various commissions are constantly being petitioned by the citizens’ bodies for civic improve- ments, Mr. Suter sald, and he express- ed the beliof that these official bodi recognize the value of civic organi sations. More unsatisfactory method of par- ticipation In national and District government affairs cannot be conceived, he stated, and residents of Washing- ton will never receive a squar from Congress until they are recog- nized as Amerlcan citizens, with full entation in both the House and » Senate and in the electoral col- Greater opportunity exists now cer before, he declared, for ens to gain their rights, but the must be no abatement of activitles if this end s to be attained Using a_quetation from Lincoln, that “there cannot be free government without elections” Mr. Suter said the same thing applies to citizens here. A stone wall of indif- ference contronts the District on Cap- jtol Hill, he said. because sufficient time cannot be given to District af- | fairs by some of the legislators, who | are most earnest and sincere In thelr | to help here, but who are to consider their constituen- eles first Refers to Editorial, He referred to an editorial by Theo- dore W. Noves on election day which cited that day as one of thanksgiv- ing in other cities, but a day of sad- ness and gloom in the District. Au- tocracies have heen failures every where and autoeratic rule cannot suc- eced here, he declared. Every effort should be made to advertise “our votel plight” to the enfranchised citizenry of the States, he sald. He praised the efforts of the Commis- President sloners in Inviting the citizens to form a council to co-operate with them, expressing the belief that much benefit will be derived from the move. Approval was voted to the proposed snow-removal bill, provided sufficient personnel is available for its opera- tion, that streets on which caf lines operate are cleared first and that a few main arteries of travel and gut- ters are cleaned, and the remainder “be left to old Sol” Complaint was made about the odor and smoke from burning trash on the dumps along the Eastern Branch and the proper com- mitteo Instructed to take the neces- sary remedial steps. An effort will be made to have the lighting ar- rangements, on Massachusetts avenue from Sixth street to Lincoln Park sufficiently improved to preclude the possibility of street accidents from this cause. A survey of the damage done to the streets in this section by the recent snows will be made by the committee on streets and high- ways and an effort made to have them put in passable condition. The Jones Sunday closing bill was re- ferred to the committee on laws and legislation. Miss Mildred Boynton sang solos, accompanied by Miss Maude Boynton, and Nathan Clark sang, accompanied on the piano by Miss Elisabeth Wine. Joseph Cechlovsky was elected to membership. President S. B. Frantz presided. BID FOSDICK FAREWELL. 700 of Old Congregation Give Testimonial Banquet. NEW YORK, March 3.—Voicing the epinion that his experiment as special pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, from which he retired yes- terday, in accordance with the Gen- eral Assembly's reuest, had not been a failure, the Rev. Dr. Harry Emer- son Fosdick last night addressed 700 members of the cengregation who tendered him a testimonial dinner at the Hotel Astor. “Things aren’t going right with the churches of the United States," Dr. Wosdick said, “and nobody with his eyes open belleves so. There are & great many thin the churches are doling, are dickering for and Insisting upon that have nothing to do with dullding Christlike character.” ——— ‘Women of Paris are sald to be dis- osrding lipstick end rouge in favor of the cold bath and fruit diet.

By the Assoclated Press. SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 3.—~Tax- ation of solvent credits and various other kinds of intangible wealth at 7 per cent of its full cash value is provided for in a bill the State Senate passed yesterday. The measure will Eo to the Assembly. Civic organizations in California recently {ssued statements to coun- teract what is termed to have been false .reports circulated in Eastern States regarding the hill and the in- tention of the Btate in its proposed taxation policy change, These re- ports alleged that under the measure stocks, bords and mortgages owned by non-residents who visited the State and brought with them these securities would be subject to taxa- tion. The committes which consid- ered and reported the bill declared that the intangible property of non- residents would be excluded from the proyisions of the bill. The present law taxes intangible property at 100 per cent. e Just a Convenience, Anyhow. From the Florida Times-Unlon. She—Something seems to tell me that it is my money you are after, and pot me.

By the Associaied Press. PARIS, March 3.—The decree rul- ing thet all fereigners who ‘ntend to remain in France for a fortnight or more must apply for identity cards within 48 hours of their arrival went into effect theoretically ~Sunday. There has been no rush to the pre- fecture of police by foreigners, how- ever, and it is just as well, for the bureau charged with foreign identity card se e has made no preparation to receive them. Surprise was ex- pressed when the officials were in- formed that the rule voted last Octo- ber had become operative. “Foreigners need not worry about the new regulation for the time be- ing," the correspondents were told at police headquarters. It w, added that the rule, although. effective in law, was not being enforced in fact, and would not be until official noti- fication had been received from the ministry of interior, At the minlstry the correspondents were Informed that the officials failed to see why forelgners should be more eager to give up their money than the authorities were to ask them for it. Ample warning would be given to foreign residents before the decree was rigidly enforced, if ever, was the information imparted. Strong pressure is being brought to bear on the government to rescind the measure. Hotel men's associa- tions and the National Tourist Bureau of France are taking the lead in op- posing the decree. They hope that modifications by the Senate will make France “safe for tourists,” as in the past. —_—— President Lincoln, in his second in- sugural address, used the pronoun I only once, While Mr. Roosevelt avoided it entirely.
