Presi- | ond administration, however. an- nounced that the purposes of the oc- cupation had been substantially achieved. and officials of the present administration, soon after the inau- guration of President Harding, said their intention was to withdraw the iilitary government at an early date. The proclamation was issued after a serfes of conferences between Presi- dent_Harding, Secretary Hughes and Secrbtary Denby extending over sev- eral weeks. After setting forth the necessity of establishing a “duly constituted, £o' ernment of the Dominican republic before the withdrawal may become ef- fective, the proclamation outlines in detail the method in which, under the constitution of that country, such a government shall be elected. Election Rules Prescribed. Primary assemblies will be convened in one month to hold elections for elec- tors, who, in turn, will elect senators and deputies and prepare lists for jus- tices of the supreme court, of the ap- pellate court and the tribunals and courts of the first instance. The military governor will, upon, name certain citizens to nego- tiate a “convention of evacuation,” the more important features of which will include ratification of all acts of the military government; validation of the final loan of $2,500,000 to complete pub- street at its point of contact with the reservation. To enact the proposed le; is claimed, would jeave Georgia ave- nue as the only rapid transit street leading morth out of Washington, be- tween 1st and 16th streets northwest, and would produce such traffic con- sestion on that thoroughfare as to make it the most overcrowded high- way in the District. The District Comimissioners May 19 reported favorably on the bill in question, but with the provise that 14th street be excepted. Last night, the Citizens' Association of Takoma Park, Md., adopted unani- mously a resolution stating that the permanent closing of 14th street would be a serious setback to the town of Takoma and to that entire section of Maryland and the District of Columbia. 4,000 Sign Petition. More than 4,000 persons living in that section have signed petitions fa- voring the extension of 14th street, which will be presented tomorrew morning to Senator Weller and Rep- jresentative Zihlman of Maryland. Aid It is expected that the bill will be reported to the Senate following a meet- ing of the committee next Monday. It had been supposed that the bill weuld be reported today, but some meribers of the committee expressed a desire te examine the measure as finally drafted Py _the subcommittee.

He wants every parcy worker to be stimulated to keep on working. $o he has placed the whole responsibility for appointments on the local republican organizations, which in turn must co-operate with the na- tional republican organization of which John T, Adams is the chief executive. If the local republicans make a poor recommendation or if the man they 1ecommend turns out poorly it will be a reflection on the local organization Constant Demand for Trees. ‘With the city growing steadily and new streets being built upon, there is, he said, a constant demand for more shade trees. In a tree nursery, Mr. Lanham pointed out, plans must be laid to meet the need for trees for eight and ten years ahead. The Commissioners probably will take up this question for considera- tion in the near future in an effort to find another location for a nursery, where there will be ample room to grow a sufficient number of young trees. Supt. Lanham stated today that he obtained another supply yesterday of the solution needed to stop the blight now attacking the Norway maple trees, and his men resumed spraying activities -today. The aphids, the insects that have infested the maples this year, also are rapidly being destroyed by lady bugs and other enemy insects, he said. Plans Fight;on Caterpillars.

The proposed Walter Reed extension plan, recently on file with the War Depart- ment, contemplated the erection of a medical school, museum, officers’ quar- ters and similar buildings on and near the line of 14th street extended.
