SMALL (Copyright, 1925, by Casper Tribune) WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. — A young man who left England some twenty-five years ago with little more in his gripsack than a prayer and a hope, has returned to the Brit- ish Isles to finance and construct what promises to be one of the most luxurious hotels in.all Europe. In the years that have elapsed ‘| between a dream and its fruition this same young man has virtually carried the capital city of the United States through a great crisis. Harry Wardman, almost alone, has solved the housing problem in Washington after carrying the capi- tal through the period of war expan- sion. It was estimated here today that between 50,000 and 60,000 persons— oOne-elghth the total population of the city—are housed in apartments and dwellings constructed by the yaung Yorkshireman, who ventured forth to the new world a quarter of a century ago and picked upon the then quiscent Washington as the scene of his endeavors, Some idea of the Wardman “dreams” which constantly. have caused his friends, his associates and the public in general to gasp, can be had from the fact that in one apartment house built by him there are residing today 4,000 per- sons—a community twice the size of the entire town of Dayton, Tenn., where the Scopes_trial was held a month ago. Each morning the man- ager of this apartment sends forth a Cleaning brigade to mop up five miles of hallways. Wardman has financed and con- structed in Washington something Uke 400 apartment buildings and more than 5,000 dwellings. While he has been in England the past several months, his organization here has been going forward with its construction program, for Wasiting ton today has a permanent popula- tion as large as its transient maxi- mum during the world war effort. Harry Wardman is a‘sentimental- ist as well as a financial and build- ing wizard. One of his pet projects recently was wrecked on the rock of sentimentalism. Wardman had dreamed of constructing a hotel looking out over the White House grounds. After long negotiation, he obtained an option on the old John Hay property at the corner of Six- teenth street and Lafayette park, directly opposite the White House. Plans for the hotel were drawn. One sweeping side of it would look directly into the president's front door. Then word came to Ward- man's ears that some of the Hay heirs had regretted their decision to let the old place go and wanted to keep {t intact. The decision meant a lot to Wardman, but without hesi- tation he offered the contract back. The deal was ended. The hotel project was moved two blocks up | the street. Through all the years of his suce cess in Washington, Harry Ward- man has wanted to go back and do something on a big scale tn England, right in the heart of London.

Now there {s to be an American ho- tel in Piccadilly. with Wardman as its sponsor, The poor boy who .uled away from his native shores all but penniless will on Christmas day, 1926, open the Park Lane ho- tel in London and every room in the structure will have a bath at- tached. This is a decided departure in European hotel construction. And each room will be steam he: ed, although Mr. Wardman will have to cofmsider the traditions of his’ country and provide fireplaces for the burning of soft coal fires, which seem to warm the cockles of the British heart. Harry Wardman has two pas- sions—one is golf and the other is building, and he is admitted expert at both games. He also is a speed king. He can reach a decision and translate it Into action quicker than any other man in the country, A year or two ago some of the young spirits of Washington got together and wanted to start a racquet club. Within six months Wardman had financed and erected the big yclub in Sixteenth street. The artistic colony of Washing- ton organized some months ago a club known as the Ramshead Play- ers. Their improvised playhouse was too small. They took their troubles to Wardman. he said Change Daily BILL Also Comedy—“Big RIALTO fled Ad. ————_—_—SSSESES Continuous Shows 1 to 11 10c and 20c A Bishop-Cass Theater TODAY ONLY “BORDER JUSTICE” An outdoor drama sparkling with punch and pep Some three or four months later the players were in a beautiful and completely equipped playhouse.

Phone Company Is Accused In Radio Control WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—(By Associated Press).—Senator Brook- heart’s office has asked the depart- ment of justice for information as to practices of the American Tele- phone and Telegraph company in » the radio broadcasting field. Norman Baker, proprietor of a broadcasting station at Muscatine, Iowa, complained to the senator that the company refused him a license, although such a license would have been granted had he purchased his equipment from the company’s sub sidiaries. He charged the company with violating the anti-trust law, and was operating in restraint of trade, Senator Brookheart forwarded Ba: ker's letter to the attorney general.
