CITY BEAUTIFUL IS AIM _OF WASHINGTON PLANS Long Streiches of Restful Green, Winding Washington has poessibilitics which if worked out along right lines will place the capital of the United States among the fiuest of capitals. and in order to realize those possibil- ftles it is indispensable that the peo- Ple of Washington, the senators and Tepresentatives and the exccutive of- ficers of the government shall make | themselves acquainted with the plan for the development of this city, and that they each and all take direct, personal interest in the protection and promotion of that plan. : This was the concluding statement of an fllustrated lecture given by Charles Moore, ch of the Com mission of Fin ing chief of the divisi pts of the Library of Congre “The Plan of Wmshington, the regular monthly meeting of the Art and Ar- chdological League at the Corcoran Art Gallery late vesterday afternoon.

How Come? How Come? Then the geologists, backed with a store of knowledge and a deep reserve of skepticism, began to cast doubt. ‘“How come?’ they asked.

Then newspaper men, who first had wrestled with the scientific polysyllable, focused their atten- tion on the trilobite. They came to the conclusion that he never was a resident of Connecticut, but was entitled to vote in Indiana. In this manner they came to their conclusion: A few months ago there lived in Norwalk a man who once had his residence near the Bedford lime- stone quarries in Indlana. He | also was known to have had sev- erul specimens of trilobites. - When he moved away from Nor- | walk he left a_number of his be- | longings behind him. These later were thrown on a dump near the | spot where the trilobite waved a merry claw. ; 600,000 MINERS BLOWS THIS WEEK' WILL QUIT APRI Diplomats Enjoy Private View |Lewis Says Plans Already Under Way—Few to Stay to Protect Mines.

The liquor was taken away to a ware- house and will remain here pending turther action in the case. Edwin S. Shewan, brother of the yacht's owner, who was aboard it when the raiders swooped down, hur- ried at once to a telegraph office and wired Attorney General Daugherty that the craft was under British rcg- istry and the liquor had been proper- ly sealed before it cntered an Ameri- can port and therefore was exemp! from interference.

This carpet of green extends from the pitol to the monument. “Standing_on the west terrace of the Capitol,” he continued, “one sees Letween Washington Monument. Those smoke- stacks belong to the heating plant of the temporary war buildings located in the Mall. The stacks were delib- erately so placed in order to mark the Mall axis. So, too, the temporary war buildings have been located so that the roadways and walks ex- tending east and west shall coincide with those in the Mall plan. As these buildings _disappear, the roads -and walks will be made permanent and the new planting of trees in the va- cant spaces will conform to the plan— that is to say, four rows of American elms, lined by driveways, with walks under the trees.

CLASS OF THE Western Presbyterian Church, H st. between 19th and mflwflm ‘the ages of l:‘ll eighty-eight vears old, a ward of the county, will be buried today in the shadow of a tombstone for ‘which he paid $2,000 eleven years ago. In 1911 he purchased in Rosedale cemetery here a lot valued at $135 and erected upon it an imposing granite monument fifteen feet high, with a marble base five feet square. He paid $10 to have a marble worker cut his name upon it. It consti- tyted one of the most expensive monuments in the cemetery. Once each month since then he has visited the cemetery and in- spected the monument. For hours he would set in its shadow and read. Sometimes he polished it. Then his plans enlarged. He went to an undertaker and bought a costly casket, with instructions it be held for his body. Next he had a steel vault embedded beside the monu- ment in what was to be his grave. ‘Then he drew up agreements with the cemetery officials and the under- taker, arranging for his burial. March 8 he became ill. His money was gone. He was taken to the. county hospital. Knowing he was to dle, he told where his agreements | with the undertaker and cemetery officials were. L $ According to Crawford’s wishes there will be no funeral service; His body, in the casket he bought so long ago, will'be lowered into the steel vault beside the granite piliar ‘where he used to sit and dreame sheriff” wording in the original draft of the bill, in indicating that Mr. Focht is not famillar with the District situation; for the regulations of the Commissioners under the present law forbid Joans to persons under twenty- one. Mr. Focht's bill would, there- fore, permit an open season of five vears as compared with the present jaw, and this could not be changed without an act of Congress. The regulations also forbid loans to a_person who is intoxicated, but Mr. Focht's bill omits this, It sadly weakens the penalties. Its enactment would be regarded by Mr. Marshall, who knows the present law by ex- perience in enforcing it, 2s “unnec- essary, unwise and -unfortunate, An injustice was done the District when the law was passed fixing the rate which has been sending people to Virginia ever since. Why not remedy this now in the only sensible way, by passing the Commissioners’ bill making the rate what it ought to have been in the first place, instead of proposing a new law with a ratio which is unnecessarily high?
