Though the town is quiet and REVEAL SYNDICATE though so far no serious incidents have occurred, the feeling of inse- curity, is growing daily and all who are able to leave, native Christians as well as Europeans, are departing hurriedly. Americans not connected with the naval detachments or the embassy are gone. Rafet Pasha blames the Brit- ish for causing the panic, but the truth is that nobody believes that the Lausanne conference will be success- ful, and that the allies will either have to fight or evacuate Constanti- nople. In either case Christian na- tives and foreigners feel that life will be, If not unsafe, at least, disagree- able. Deportations Under Way. No further information has been re- ceived regarding the forced expatria- tion of the Anatolian Christians. The official newspapers of the Angora gov ernment in Anatolia deny the deporta- tion charge, declaring that the Chris- tlons in Anatolla are safe and that those who leave do so of their own accord. The announcement should be received with caution. Information recelved from reliable French and American sources, together with the statements made wecks ago by re- sponsible nationalists, leave no ddubt that deportations are taking place.

Sherrill Indicated. { would be Broad branch which extends toward Chevy Chase. The tributary along Blagden avenue, he said, had almost been destroyed by extensive improvements. A littl> tributary leading toward and through the Walter Reed Gen- eral Hospital grounds was another which might be considered in the mnear future. Tuking the drainage basin of Rock Creek 23 a whole, he pointed out that the stream draws its flow from an extending through the District ‘olumbia, out into Maryland, to the north and east of Rockville.

Bullding operations seem still to be gaining In the general di- rectlon of the basin of Rock creek, with a distinctly perceptible influ- ence on the amount of water through Rock creek. A scjentific survey of the situation will be pursued, it was indicated, and as fast as the govern- ment can be persuaded to purchase vita] tracts such purchase will be recommended. One of the great advantages of having the permanent commission for the purchase of park and playground iand In the city of Washington, Col. Sherrill polnted out, would be that the commission couid buy the land much more cheaply than it could be procured under the present system.

Mr. Stoke said the answer letter was in to one he had written to victory in New Jersey. PUBLICATION NOT INTENDED. BINGHAMTON, N.

BOARD OF TEMPERANCE BEGINS NEW BUILDING Ground Broken for Five-Story Structure at 1st and Mary- land Avenue Northeast. Ground was broken this morning for the erection of a building on the northwest corner of Maryland avenue and 1st street northeast by the board of temperance, prohibition and pub- 1lic morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Washington. The struc- wide advertisement In advance of the purpose of the government to buy the land. By this means the owners are notified, he explained. and by the time the government is Teady to buy the land is priced about “three times” what it should be. The permanent commission would not be obliged to advertise in ad- vance for such purchases, atcording to the proposal bill. Advantages of such improved methods of purchase were exemplified, Col. Sherrill ex- plained, in the recent purchase of property north of B street and west of 18th street northwest. Where the money was made avallable at once, the authorities were able, he sald, to Buy at less than option: where the option had been $3 to $3.50. per square foot, the rnment was enabled to buy for $1.50 to $2.50 a square foot. e commission would be composed of the SBecretary of War, Secretary of the Treasury, chairmen of the Senate and House committces on public duildings and grounds, the Engineer Commissioner of the District of Co- lumbdia, with the officer in charge of pubdlic buildings and grounds as ex scutive officer. SUIT FOLLOWS COLLISION. The collision of two automobiles on Cedar avenuae, In Takoma Park, Sep- tember 35 last, forms the basis of a suit to recover $10,000 damages filed - yeste! in the District S8uprsme Court ture is to cost approximately $500,000. The building is to be shaped and five storfes high, with basement, and will be built on the Italian Rennaissance style. The main en- trance will be located at the corner and will give access to both an in- terior and exterior vestibule, on each side of which will be located cloak and information rooms. The upper floors will be built into apartments. ‘When completed the building will be used .primarily by the board of temperance, but will also function as the center ‘of Methodist interests in the city, it is said. Among those present =t the ground- breaking were: Dr. R. J. Wade, cor- responding secretary of the commit- tee of conservation and advance; Miss Ina L. Bates, office secretary; Rev. R. B. Johnson, fleld secretary of the board; D. 8B, Paterson, and E. A. Grant, assistant research secretaries, and C. H. Moore, Miss Anna M.

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD i iBishop Harding Officiates at Rites. Twenty Clergymen in Procession. Funeral services for Rev. W. A. Mitchell, who died Wednesday morn- ing, were held at 10 o'clock this morn- ing in St. John's Churgh, Georgetown. Rev. Mitchell was the ranking clergy. man of the Washington diocese in point of date of ordination, and up until the time of his deatii was minor canon_of the cathedral. Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding, Blshop of Washington: Rev. John S. Moses, rec- {tor of St. John's Church, and Rev. Charles T. Warner officiated at the services, prior to which Bishop Har- ding celebrated holy communion. The | Vestea choir led the procession. and {over the casket was a pall, first used at the burial of Bishop Satterlee, about twenty vears ago. Twenty clergymen aiso were in the proces. ton. The honorary pallbearers were: Rev C. Ernest:Smith, Rev. J. W. Austin, Rev. J. W. Clark, Rev. J. H. W. Blake. The active pall bearers were: Revs. E. S. Dunlap, Joscph Fletcher, W. W. Shearer, Edward Douse and two nephews of the late Rev. Mitchell. After the services the body was sent to Mechanicsville, Md., where it will be buried In the yard of All Faith's Church.

This means that with the amount now appropriated the division of trees and parkings Is not even able to re- place the number of trees removed. much less plant new ones as the city develops. | The startling prediction appears | on the chart that during the current fiscal year there will be a loss of 2,000 trees from various causes. As replacements will increase to 3,500, it is revealed. = : On that basis it is estimated that 5000 trees should be planted each year, of which number 1,500 would be at new locations and the balance to fill gaps in the existing system. To carry out such a program, the chart shows, the annual appropriation for trees and parkings should be in- creased from $50.000 to $85,000. 1f that plan is made possible by the granting of the needed funds Washington in 1932 would have 120. 000 trees. On the other hand, if the present inadequate _ appropriation continues the tree system will have dropped back to 55,889 at the end of he next decade. : Another striking fact revealed by the drawing is that during the past five vears the city has gained only 1,010 new trees. 40,000 Trees im 1877. Beginning with 1877, as ghe chart shows, the National Capital had 40,000 chade trees. The system grew as follows : 57,000 trees; 1887, 63,000 ; 1892, 72, 1897, 76,000; 1902, 84,000; -1907, 1912, 99.000; 1917, 104,00 000; 93,000; 1922, 106,000. Lifelong residents of Washington become so ac-ustemed to the attrac- tion the stat: shade trees have added to thei: city that they may not at all times appreciate what the loss of these natural ornaments would mean. 2 But to the thousands of Americans who come here every year the trees are one of the many features for which they naturally look in the cap- ital of the nation. To some it might seem that the work of Supt. Clifford Lanham ends when he digs a hole and plants the tree. _But shade trees are living things, and when they are taken from the fertile soil of the nursery and stationed like sentinels in a small Bquare of earth surrounded by con- crete pavements they have to battle for life. Not only are they blown down fn storms, but the roots have to wind their way around gas mains and other obstructions under the city streets. With the surface paved, ex- cept for a few feet around the trunk, the city shade tree does not enjoy the natural nourishment that is avail- able in the forest. { gust 31, 1912, the North American Company reported gross earnings of $46.975,670; net after taxes, $16,059,- 777; balance available for dividends, etc., $9.338,662. At the ciose of 1921 the company reported a profit and loss surplus of $12,776,357. Much importance is naturally at- tached to the chief interests of four of the five reported purchasers of the big block of local stock. Even though they have looked {nto the local situa- tion and, being business men, mus’ be thoroughly posted on Washington in general and.the Washington Rallway and Electric Company speciffically, and have bought the stock as investors, there Is always the possibility that this big block of stock may sooner or later be listed as among the holdings of the North American Company. See Future Here. Mr. Thompson stated a week ago that “his clients were attracted to Washington because of the great possibilities in its future development. in which the Washington Railway and Electric Company would share.” Washington, not being a commercial center, is not affected by changed business conditions, %o that it may be said to be, commerclally, the most normal city in the country, and sure to prosper. It is common talk on 15th street that several large utility operators have been looking over the local fleld and have highly complimented the management of the Washington Rail- way and Electric Company. Fellowing are the officers of the North American Company Harrison Willlams, chairman of the board and executive committee; F. L. Dame, president; Edwin Gruhi, vice president and = general manager; James F. Fogarty, secretary and as- sistant treasurer; Robert Sealy, as- sistant treasurer; F. H. Piske and Robert Randall, assistant secretaries. —_—— ASH REMOVAL RULING. Ashes will not be cqllected by the District this winter from apartment houses occupled by three or more families, Engineer Commissioner Kel- ler announced yesterday. The current appropriation law con- tains a provision that the money ap- propriated for disposal of refuse shall not be used for the removal of trash or ashes from apartments and hotel In seeking to define the meaning o apartment houses as used in the law the Commissioners were guided by the building regulations, which state that an apartment is a building housing three or more families in suites of rooms. —_— ACTRESS PUT ON PROBATION.

An organization similar to the one proposed by Col. Craizie was organ- ized recently at Business High School. The personnel is composed of present and fcrmer cadet officers, and its ob- ject is to perpetuate the cadet spirit. The alumni association planned by Col. Craigie, however, will not limit its membership to former officers, but will include privates as well as non- commissioned officer: The newly organized Business High School Cadet Officers’ Association will award three medals annually to the military company at the school which makes the best showing in a competi- tion manual of arms drill. The first prize will be a gold medal, the sec- ond a silver medal, and the third a bronze medal. —_—— MONGIGNOR LEE'S WILL LISTS $20,000 ESTA Books Left to C. U. and Mount St. Mary’s College; Nephew Is Named Executor. The wiil of Rt. Rev. Mgr. Thomas; Sims Lee, pastor of St. Matthew's Catholic Church and former Tector of | the cathedral at Baltimore, who died August 11 last, was offered today for probate. The document is dated Au- gust 17, 1921, and disposes of an es- tate valued at $20,000. Dr. Thomas Sims Lee, a nephew, is named as ex- ecutor. Dr. Lee said today that the part of the estate left for his nephews would be devoted to the decoration of ISL Matthew's Church. Mgr. Lee leaves his altar service and ecclesiastical vestments for the use of St. Matthew's Church.
