OPPOSEGAS RAISE
Association Contends In
crease in Rate Granted
Year Ago Was Ample.
FOR BRANCH POST OFFICE
Strong opposition to the petition of
tli? Washington Gas Light Company
to charge $1.10 per thousand cubic
feet was voiced at a meeting of the
Mid-City Citizens' Association at 1009
7th street last night.
A. J. Driscoll, president, and several
members took the position that the
increase which the Public Utilities
Commission granted the gas company
about a year ago was ample. The as
sociation will oppose the company's
request when it comes up before the
Commissioners.
The association again went on rec
ord in favor of the immediate passage
by Congress of a law to prevent the
indiscriminate sale of firearms in the
District. The action was taken after
a lively discussion of the number of
murders and serious assaults which
have occurred in the District in recent
months. Members attributed these
crimes both to bootlegging and to the
fact that pistols are so easily pur
chased here.
Sales Restricted in New York. j
President Driscoll told the associa
tion that while he was in New York
recently he went into? -a store and
asked for a revolver to see if it was
easy to purchase one there. He said
the clerk informed him that he could
not buy a firearm there without a permit
from the police.
The association appointed a com
mittee to ask Postmaster Chance to
establish a branch post office in the
vicinity of 7th street. The commit
tee is composed of Thomas Sergeon,
Joseph Berberich, Somerset Waters,
Howard Moran, Charles S. Shreve and
A. J. Driscoll.

Joe Washington, colored, and Frank

day evening. The white man wagered
the black that the latter did not have
$20. When Washington produced $20
the white man grabbed the coin.
Washington grabbed an ax and struck
West twice over the head with it. It
was a pretty severe but proved an
efficacious way to recover the money.
West was not seriously hurt. Wash
ington was locked up in Hyattsville by
Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison,
and later released upon bond furnish
ed by John Finn of Lanham for his
appearance before Justice of the Peace
A. H. Dahler in Bladensburg.
ELMEB WASHBURN IS DEAD.
Helped Foil Plot to Steal Lincoln's
Body in 1879.
CHICAGO, November 26.?The story 1
of the plot to steal the body of Abra
ham Lincoln from Oak Ridge ceme
tery, at Springfield, was revived to
day following the announcement of
the death of Elmer Washburn, former
chief of police of Chicago. Accord
ing to the story suppressed on request
of relatives, the attempt was made
in the fall of 1879, and the plan was
to convey the body of the martyred'
President to Canada, from where ne
' gotiations lor it3 return would be
conducted.
Mr. Washburn was head of the gov
ernment secret service here at the
time, and, with eight federal agents, ,
was hidden in the cemetery when the j
four ghouls pried open the iron door
j of the mausoleum. Alarmed by the
accidental discharge of a revolver, the
four fled, but were arrested three j
days later They were convicted and
j sent to prison for a year.
Try Making Your Own
Cough Remedy
You can save about $2 aad haro a
bettor remedy than the ready
made kind. Easily done.
If you combined the curative prop
erties of every known "ready-made"
cough remedy, you probably could
not get as much real curative power I
as there is in this simple home
made cough syrup, which is easily
prepared in a few minutes.
Get from any druggist 2% ounces
of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain granulated sugar syrup,
clarified molasses, honey or corn
syrup, as desired. The result is a
full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready i
made for three times the money.
Tastes pleasant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause of a cough
and gives almost immediate relief.
It loosens the phlegm, stops the
nasty throat tickle and heals the j
sore, irritated membranes so gently
and easily that it is really astonish
ing.
A day's use will usually overcome :
the ordinary cough, and for bron- ;
chitis, croup, whooping cough and |
bronchial asthma, there is nothing i
better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen- 1
trated compound of genuine Nor-!
way pine extract, and has been used j
for generations to break up severe
coughs.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "2*4 ounces of Pinex"!
with full directions, and don't ac
cept anything else. Guaranteed to
give absolute satisfaction or money
promptly refunded.
