We :ure an y way from the bridge to Fort Buffalo, at the inter- scetion of Wilson boulevard extended and the Leesburg pike, along a line which can be easily reached along ex- isti and streets by every com- Arlington County. “We have ed the boulevard to a point within a few hundred yards of Taylor avenue in Clarendon, and all that will be necessary for Clar- endon and Pallston to connect them- selves with the bridge will be to widen out Taylor avenue to 100 feet. “We thus assume we will have the united support of Arlington County to the full share of its interest in the quick development of the section from the bridge to the Porter Woods. The section from the Porter Woods to Fort Buffalo is located through a part of Arlington and Fairfax coun- ties, where, for lack of facilities of mmunication, there has been little development. It inight seem, there- fore, that the county’s interest in the development of this section of the boulevard would not be so great as in the section from the Porter Woods to the bridge. “It would, however, be an error to assume this to be a fact. It will be seen that, beginnifig in the very near future, development wil start in this undeveloped part of the county and this development will call for a class of residences involving considerable expenditure. A class of people will be attracted to Arlington who will be- come taxpayers and the increase in the assessable wealth of the county by the development of the more southerly route will be far in excess of the increase if the boulevard had been located through a section al- ready developed. “This increase in the assessable wealth will materially increase the funds with which to pave all the roads, of the county, install sewers, build schools, etc. 1 assume, therefore, that the county as a unit will co-operate with us in the realization of this project as rapidly as posstble.” The business interests of Washing- ton are “vitally concerned” in the project, Dr. Johnson said. The con- struction of the memorial bridge, the development of the Shenandoah Na- tional Park and the joining of the tw by “the finest boulevard in the world"” will result in a rapid increase in population and enlargement of bus ness in this city, he explained. To what extent and in what ways the bysiness interests of Washington will co-operate ‘with us will be mat ters for careful consideration on the part of all whose interests are il volved,” Dr. Johnson added, terminu SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and Sailings From New York, Daylight Saving Tithe.

NEW YORK, July 3.—The Ward collection of Revolutionary letters and documents, including a letter written by George Washington on July 4, 1776, passed out of the hands of descend- ants of Gen. Artemus Ward today. It was sold by Mrs. Albert B. White, wife of former Gov. White of West Virginia, to Thoma Madigan, New Y dealer in old manuscripts. The George Washington letter, ad- dressed to Gen. Ward, who was in command of the Continental troops at Boston, informed him of the land- ing of British troops on Staten Is. land and asked him to send all arms, “such as possibly can be spared,” to the Continental troops in New York. Also in the collection are Ictters bearing the signatures of John Han- cock, Robert Treat Paine and other Revolutionary figures. The letter by John Hancock was sent to Gen. Ward at Boston two days after the first Fourth of July and incinded a copy of the Declaration of Independ- el which the Boston commander directed to read to his troops.

SEATTLE, sh., July 3 (£).—Su- RHODE ISLANDERS SOCIETY IS ACTIVE Group, Specializing in State’s History, Holds Many So- cial Events. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. As one of the 13 original States, Rhode Island, the colony founded by Roger Willlams, will, in a special man- ner, commemorate the 160th anniver- sary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the State soclety founded in Washington about two and a half years ago will be among those for whom a place will be re- served on the Mall at the great cele- bration. Rhode Island has, in addition to celebrating the independence of all the colonies on July 4, a day of its own, May 4, when, two months in advance of the action taken by the Continental Congress in Carpenters’ Hall in Phila- delphia, the Colontal Assembly passed |l a resolution calling for complete po- Mtical separation from Great Britain. ‘When the local soclety of the in- trepid little State was formed it was determined to make a special feature of State day, May 4, and these cele- brations have proved the most inter esting and important of the year. In a particular manner does the meet- ing of May 4, 1924, stand out in the annals, for it was attended by practi- cally the entire group of Rhode Is- landers in Washington, and the bril- liant ceremonles held around the Lin- coln Memorial terminated in the plant- Ing of a little elm brought from the State and which grows apace south of the Monument. Or. J. Franklin Jameson, formerly professor of his: tory in Brown University, now the head of the historic investigation and research work in the Carnegie Insti- tution in this city, made the principal address, and other speakers were Rep- resentatives Burdick, Aldrich and O’Connell. History Is Main Goal. Rhode Islanders {n Kashington had, however, before the formation of the present 'soclety in February, 1924, celebrated thefr State day, and had given all due attention to other out- standing events in their history. Citi- zens of the State have been numerous in Washington, and always outstand- ing in its activities. The State soclety therefore took up the work already well begun and made a study of his- tory, one of the leading reasons for forming the organization, with the usual soclal and helpful aspects which mark all the similar organiza- tions in the Capital. The first presi- dent was Willlam J. Crane, an officer in the World War. He had alded Representative Burdick in centralizing interest in forming a_society which would compare to others in_active existence of the Capital. Mr. Burdick called tho first meeting in the audi- torfum of the Interfor Department and he presided over the first sessions. However, he declined to accept the presidency, which was urged upon him, and his alde, Mr. Crane, was honored. A few months later Mr. Crane presided over the 148th anniversary of Rhode Island's declaration of independence. Perhaps no member of the local State societies lays greater emphasis on the non-political aspect of the club. Though there s no definite prohibition in the constitution or by-laws, it is under- stood that Senators, Representatives and others holding important political posts at the Capftal will not fit so well into the scheme of things as presi- dent and other officers of the State soclety as those Rhode Islanders who are less conspicuous in public office. Since the main purpose of the or- ganization is to study the history of the Commonwealth, and to examine its archives systematically with a view to developing their meaning and useful- ness, lterary and historical criticism have been a prominent feature of the soclal meetings, and the speakers have been among the most scholarly resi- dents of Washington. Dr. Jameson has been among those who presented several phases of the little State's story, which, as early as 1654, had, in in the opinion of its royal governor, perior Judge Jones announced today p he would set July 19 for the trial of Wallace C. Gaines, charged with the murder of his daughter, Sylvia. The body of Miss Gaines, Smith College graduate, was found June 17 near Green Lake here. She had been beaten to death.

Mr. Crane had especlal charge of this affair and the newly elected Senator Jesse H. Metcalf had a witty address at the last celebration, whilst Senator Colt addressed the mgmbers the year before. The State congres- sional delegation, with their wives and daughter§ and all their juvenile friends, made a merry addition to the 300 and more guests. Rhode Islanders in Washington at the present time include one lineal descendant of Roger Willlams and vho also bears the historic name of ark, Charles B. Stark, 3d, son of Lieut. Col. Stark, U A., who traces descent from the founder of the Rhode Island plantations and one of its fa- vorite revolutionary celebrities. Davis G. Arnold, who was among the first members, has been concerned with the question of Rhode Island's absentee voters and has done excel- lent work, quite apart of the political preferences of those who wished to send their ballots by mall. It was mainly through his efforts, fully in- dorsed by the society, that the Rhode Island Legislature recently amended its laws along the lines now in use in many other States. The first meeting of the Rhode Is- land soclety was In_ February, 1924, held at the Interior Department audi- torium. Other places designated by the president were used for subse- quent meetings in that year. The dates of meetings were also an- nounced at the proper time and were not definitely fixed. Recently nearly all the purely soclal affairs, like card parties and dances, have been given at the Washington Club. The first officers. were, in addition to the presi- dent, William J. Crane; Edward Flanagan, vice president; Mrs, Irene Gladding Lyddane, recording secre- tary; Miss Lilllan McMahon, corre- sponding secretary; Willlam J, Ma- loney, treasurer; Danlel J. Heffernan, historian. At the next annual elec- tion, held in MarcH, 1925, practically the same officers were held over, ex- cept that ldward McAiser was named vice president and Arthur Donnelly treasurer. At the last annual meet- ing, in March of this year, some dif- ferences arose at the construction of the constitution and there has been rather an inactive season in conse- quence. The same officers hold their posts and all is in readiness to start the usual program this coming sea- ;Lm, reinforced by many new mem- ers. R He Had His Nerve.
