C. his hotel and re- even his A definite step in the 25.yearold campaign of public-spirited Washing nians to have erected here the finest stadium in the country sultabie for national and international athletic will be taken tomorrow Representative Elliott of In- diana, chairman of the House com- mittee on public buildings and zrounds, introduces a bill authorizing the selection of an appropriate Fed- eral site for the project. Mr. Elliott announced last night he is introducing the billl as one of the final requests of Col. C. O. Sherrill, former director of public buildings and public parks, who during his term of office consistently worked to xive substance to a need which was contests when ‘."I[ in 1901 and contained In a plan | adopted at that time for the conver- | slon of East Potomac Park into a huge playground and improved by a stadium.” The bill provides that prise would receive no financial aid from the Government and would be directed by the Washington Stadium Association under the supervision of | the director of public buildings and | public parks. Maj. Grant a Booster. Maj. Ulysses S. Grant, 3d, who suc- ceeded Col. Sherrill, declared last night that he is determined the im- petus recently given the construction of the model stadium, when Col.

They conferred with Col. Sherrill in his office at the Navy Build- ing and voiced approval of the bill which Mr. Ellfott will introduce to- morrow It was pointed actual formation out last night that of the Washington adium Association and determina tion of the manner of financing it must await passage of the Elliott bill. Public Is Encouraged. Introduction of the Elliott measure ind assurances made by Maj. last night have set aside the fears felt by many that erection of the sta- dium would be seriously handicapped through Col. Sherrill's absence. That the project was one close to the heart | of the former public parks director is well known and best evidenced by the fact he requested that the bill he sent on its legislative journey on the eve of his departure for Cincinnati. Ambitious plans are held by supporters of the stadium, and they visualize it as the destined scene of the Army and Navy foot ball games and perhaps the Olympic games. While the site has not been select- ed, one sald to be favored by Col. Sherrill was what is known as section D of Anacostia Park across the Penn- sylvania Avenue Bridge. The problem in the selection of the site Is to obtain land yielding abundant parking space, s well as railroad sidings and bus terminals o accom modate the huge throngs which would attend games plaved at the stadium. In the plan of 1901 it was sug- gested that the stadium be erected on camp in Potomac Park, but the fact that considerable money would be necessary for treating the foundation, (Continued on Page 2, Column 4.)

George H. Wil- kins, leader of the venture, upon his arrival here today. “If we start in the morning from Point Barrow and keep on flying we should reach the zeographic pole at midnight. The sun at that time will just about touch the horizon, and immediately begin to rise again. We will lose 12 hours in that instant when we cross the North Pole. In other words. it will be both morn- ing and afterncon, The sun at that 3 Flyers Plan to Chase Sun Across Pole From Alaska to Spitzbergen in Daylight time of the year will never be higher than 12 degrees.” Under present plans, the take-off from Point Barrow is scheduled for March 21. Capt. Wilkins said he had every reason to believe land will be discovered in the unexplored region between Point Barrow and the ice pole. Should this prove true, he said, he would return to Point Barrow without landing on the initial flight, report the discovery, and, accom. panied by a second plane, g6 back to explore’ and map the new territory. If no land is sighted, he said, he would endeavor on the initial flight to fly over the top of the world to Spitz- bergen, approximately 2,100 miles from Point Barrow. Capt. Wilkins announced today that Ben Eielson, formerly a mafl pilot in Alaska. will he in charge of one of the two Fokker planes of the expedition, passed the House.
