CITIZENS DISCUSS MANY PROBLEMS Takoma Park Group Reit- erates Previous Stand on Car Routing. Street rcar transportation, better protection for pedestrians, traffic and welfare matters were featured at the meeting of the Takoma Park Citizens’ Association last night. The, association reiterated its pre- vious stand regarding the street rail- way situation for the Takoma Park area in a report presented by Chester C. Waters, chairman: of the Public Utilities Committee, favoring retention of the present trackage and the dou- ble-tracking of Kenredy street from Third street to Georgia avenue and installation of a curve at Georgia avenue and Kennedy street to permit a portion of the cars to operate over the Georgia avenue line to the cen- tral part of the city. The matter of better protection of pedestrians was also discussed and the dangerous condition at Georgia avenue and Piney Branch road re- sulted in a request !or/l traffic light at this point. Dr. Guy Clinton, chiarman of the Police and Fire Committee, presented a resolution favoring the restriction of parking on the principal thorough- fares at such time as is found neces- sary by District officials for removal of snow. Dr. Guy Clinton, chairman of the Laws and Legislation Committee, re- ported on the milk situation, pointing out the large profits of corporations, which he said in some instances reached over 30 per cent. Although the R. A. resulted in increased cost of production, he said, he predicted that the present rates would prevail. The association had as its guest speaker Paul Kirby, assistant director of public welfare, who outlined the history and activities of the Public Welfare Board of the District. He explained the methods of administer- ing welfare and said in his opinion the work was being done in a satis- factory manner. The care of tuber- culosis cases was also described, along with the treatment of juveniles and the caring for children in private homes. Mrs. Mary Lamond White presided with Walier Irey as secretary. SCOTSMAN LOSES CITIZENSHIP PLEA Court Upholds Action Denying Him Papers on Grounds He Had Committed Perjury. The District Court of Appeals yes- | use. terday declined to assist a Scotsman in his endeavors to become a citizen of the United States, and upheld the action of the commissidher general of immigration, which had refused him a certificate of entry on the ground the applicant had committed perjury several times. . Henry Dodd Linklater, the petitioner, said he entered the United States from British Columbia in Seattle July 4, 1907, and that there was no record of his entry, without which he cannot complete the process of becoming a citizen. ~The commissioner general charged Linklater with swearing vari- ously that he had entered at New York by the U. 8. 8. Celtic on July 5, 1907; that he was born in Toledo and that he was born in New York. In a habeas corpus proceeding, in New York the District Court there held that he had lawfully entered at Seattle in 1907, The opinion, written by Associate Justice Willlam Hitz, said: “The pe- titioner justifigs his perjuries and false statements by saying they were made in support of applications for natu- ralization or appointment to office, and, therefore, like the Scotch lassie’s the dereliction is de “While this view seems to have been shared to some extent by the district judge in New York, it got no coun- tenance from Mr. Commissioner General of Immigration, or from Ma- dame, the Secretary of Labor. But it is the commissioner general's view of the moralities that must be satisfied under the statute, and this must be done by Mr. Linklater and not the courts.” - NEW YORK BANK HEAD SAID TO HAVE RESIGNED Joseph A.
