PLAN OF DRIVEWAY ON POTOMAC CLIFF NEARING FRUITION (Cont Page.) rom_Fir is approximately 14,000,000 square feet. The land is not expected to prove very expensive as it is low land, subject to inundation in case of flood as it was several years ago, but for park purposes because of the virgin condition. But it will be a matter of some 15 years, it is esti- mated before this part of the river- side project could be finished if work is started immediately, and because of the posibility of long delax the Plan- ning Commission will be asked to re- quest the Department of Justice to assign immediately a special attor: ney to the task of getting the neces- sary legal data together looking to its acquisition. There are many entanglements to be straightened out, and one of them is the matter of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. There arc some cases pending in the local courts now in which these land rights are involved, nd when the Government starts the work of looking into the ownerships of the proposed parkway, it was pointed out, this will come up again. The canal will run right through the proposed development. This water- way is being used now principally for supplying water power to certain in- dustries in Georgetown and there has not been any extensive navigation on it for a long time. In the legal study of the situation some attention will he ziven to the canal question, par- ticularly the requirements under the canal grants for navigation purposes. Keeping Canal Sought. Even those having the proposed park project in charge say that it would not be desirable, under any conditions, to close the section of the canal where it runs through George- town, in the lock sections, as it pre- sents such a quaint picture, not to be found anywhere else in this part of the country. 'y adfhit that it could stand a good deal of cleaning up, lined as it is with rubbish, junk and other materials, but in the end it should be retained as one of the beauty spots left over from old Wash- ington. With the acquisition of the land be- tween the canal and the cliff drive wilk come a fulfillment of the plans to connect the Canal road with Po- tomac avenue and Conduit road by 2 road up the cliff side from the Chain Bridge. At present time those driv- ing along the d either mus turn across Chain Bridge at its end turn back. To provide for a con- nuation of the drive up the Potomac it is proposed to extend a connection from Ctunal road at the Chain Rridge to the higher level cliff drive and thence onto Conduit road. Coming almost simultanepusly with the start of the cliff drive project is the proposal, to be considered by the trict_ Commissioners tomorrow, to widen Couduit road between Foxhall road and the District line to a mag- nificent 120-foot boulevard, with a 19-foot parkway in the center. The plan also allows for wide walks, with parkings on either side of the boule- d, which the Conduit road section lacked hecause of Federal juris- diction over the road. A recent act of Congress placed control of the road In the hands of the Commis- sioners. Conduit road is now of* irregular width. Five Other Proposals. Five other important changes in the highway plan ef the District will be considered by the Commiss at the same ®ime. One widening project provides for making Blair road from Oglethorpe to Underwood streets a 90-foot boulevard. It is now 33 feet wide. The pls 0 contem- plate making all property between Blair road and the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Ruilroad free of streets so that it may be developed commercially.

Tn commemoration of the anniver- gary of the Ku Klux Klan parade here August 8, 1925, Klansmen and Klans- women from Washington, estimated by officials as numbering about 3,500, staged a carnival at the Arlington Horse Show Grounds yesterday after- noon and last night. The final number on the anniver- (prompter. sary program will'be held tonight at 7:30 o'clock in the form of religious services at the show grounds. The carpival opened yesterday afterncon with a serles of athletic events and a competition between a Washington drill team and a Hyatts- ville team, both composed of women. The local organization was selected as the winner and received a silver lov- ing cup. Although the storm halted the pro- gram for more than an hour and drenched many of those present, the schedule was resumed with a three- ct play entitled, “The Martyred dansman.” It was written by G. F. rr, a_Klan official in Ohio, who later addressed the gathering. The celebration was brought to a close last night with the initiation of 93 male candidates, The ceremony was conducted by L. A. Muller, im- perial representative of the Klan in the District. A stage had been improvised for the drama and ceremonies and was equipped with a drop curtain and footlights. Seats were provided for about 2,000, it was declared, while 1,500 Klansmen and women were forced to stand. Two red illuminated crosses, symbolic of the fiery cross, weré mounted high above the assem- blage. Man Sues Alleged Captor. Mary M. Nolan, trading as the Aero Taxi Co., and her manager, Thomas M.

It was a treat. Not only were the dances of days gone by an enjoyment in them- selves, but there were the interesting and picturesque characters frollick- ing about the crowded room, and, possibly most interesting of all, the dance music and the dance calls of the Herb Moore, who is one of the President’s kin in this section, was prompter tonight. He also presided as master of ceremonies, floor man- ager and collector of the money charged for the fun. Herb has served in these capacities on such occasions many times before, and his part of performance was beyond reproach. In fact he was one of the stars of the fun-making. Second honors probably should go to the music. It was just what one would expect of such an occasion and was typical of the dances of the Ver- mont Hill, Lady and Gentlemen in Orchestra. Lew Carpenter, who drives the mail wagon betveen Bridgewater and the Notch, played first violin; Mrs. Cassie Cady, wife of Lin Cady, who is farm- ing the old Coolidge place, presided over the piano; Clarence Blgnchard, a cousin of the President. hanfiled the clarinet, and “Uncle John” Wilder, over 80, who married the President's Annt Sarah, took an occasional hand as second violin. “Uncle” John says he is getting too old to play through- out a dance now, and besides he sings tenor in the choir of the church at the Notch, and he wanted to get to bed early tonight to be in good voice tomorrow when the President and Mrs. Coolldge attend service. Herb Moore made out the program to be followed by the dancers. e spent the greater part of yesterday at the task, and he had every reason to express his pride in it. Here it is as Herb ‘wrote it: Waltz, quadrille, one step; Hull's Victory, fox trot, quadrille; Paul Jones, Lady Washing- ton reel, waltz, quadrille, fox trot, morning star, Virginia reel, Portland fancy and a waltz to the tune of “Home, Sweet Home.” Herb Keeps Hjs Head. As might be expected the dancers’ interpretations of these dances were quite varled. Necessarily there was some confusion and bumping. but Herb never lost his head once and his prompting very readily straightened things out. Many of the hill boys, and some of the girls, too, insisted on injecting something that strongly re- sembled a “horn-pipe” every time the quadrille or the other square dances were in order. There were others who displayed steps suggesting the Irish jig and the old-time Southern buck dance. Of the tunes played by Notch Or- chestra “Pop Goes the Weasel,” and “Listen to the Mocking Bird,” seemed to be the most popular, at least these provoked the most merriment and energy among the happy dancers. These two tunes were played many times, but there was some excuse for this apparent repetition. This orches- tra does not get together aften and its repetoire IS necessarily limited. Moreover, Clarence Blanchard is new at the clarinet and has not learned many pleces, at least not well enough to play at dances. At any rate the orchestra had any amount of volume and en@urance. And, when all is said that's what the dancers in the hills like most of all. Herb Moore liked it, too. But never once did he 18t the noise drown his voice in_calling the figures of the dancers. Herb has a really remarkably strong voice. It is of the Mangus Johnson kind. All the while his heavy shoes beat a perfect tattoo on the floor. When his trumpet-like voice called out *‘swing partners,” there was some real swing- ing. Frequently the .girls' feet left the floor. Although dancing has ever been a favorite amusement hereabouts, di- $14 with tilet 3'in room. 50 % MT. VERNON STEAMER Charles Macalester Leaves “th St. Whart Dally 10 A.M. and 2:30 P.M.

DEEGAN AT LAST Man Shot in Baltimore Will Be Turned Over on Leav- ing Hospital. Local police learned yesterday that Willilam T. Deegan, who was shot five times. Thursday in Baltimore, Md, will be turned’ over to the District authorities upon his release from hospital. Deegan is wanted here on a warrant charging assault, sworn out last January following a fight in the third precinct. He was wanted a hort time, ago for questioning by apt. Burlingame of the eleventh ecinct, then in charge of the flying ry squadron, it was stated by police, but the warrant, 50 far as is known, is the only claim District authorities have on him. Benny Sudano, who was with Deegan at the time of the shooting and who said he was kidnaped, has admitted to police in Baltimore that his story was false, it was announced. He is said to have admitted jumping into the machine of Deegan's assail- ants when they drove off, but denies knowing the names of the men who did the shooting. Man Regains Ring Lost in 1894. Special Dispatch to The Star, COZAD, Nebr., August 7.—A gold Masonic ring lost here in the Fall of 1894 has been found and returned to its owner, W. R. Sinks of Chicago. It was forwarded to the Masonic grand secretary at Washington and finally to Sinks, who said he lost it whilé on a wild goose hunt in Cozad. Will Put Tags on Whales. Tngland is trying to enlist a special sea army, for service in putting tags on whales, so the travels of these big fellows may be better known. No defi- nite plan for ‘putting the tags on has been devised, England assuming some wise man of the sea will come in with a practical plan and want the job. The breeding places of the whales never have been known to man, British authorities clalm, and they are anxious to learn that and many other facts. viding with the quilting parties, the husking bees, sleighing parties. the county fair and the annual Fourth of July celebrations the interest of the young people, it is not recorded that Calvin Coolidge as a boy or young man entered into these sports with any enthusiasm, if at all. Indeed one of his old friends up here says that on one occasion the President’s grand- mother gave him a dollar for not joining in the dance and that as he did not care for dancing in any case, the dollar was money easily earned. But he was not unfamillar with, the simple recreations of his contempo- raries and the music of tonight's dance undoubtedly revived long forgotten and youthful memories. President Coolidge assumed the role of the country squire yesterday and made a thorough inspection of his arm and other properties in this sec- tion. Accompanied by Lin Cady, he walked about the fields of the farm and took an inventory of the crops in the making and of the implements and the stock. The day was humid and the President went collarless and wearing an old slouch hat. Later he and Mrs. Coolidge took a drive through the mountains in an effort to cool off and enjoy the scenery. Their ride took them as far as White River Junction, 25 miles distant, and through the beautiful village of Wood- stock. Tomorrow afternoon the President and Mrs. Coolidge will attend services at the Union Church across the road from his house. The minister on this occasion will be Rev. Albert E.

SIOUX CITY, August 7.—Reyersible collars, vests, ties and shirts not unknown to the present generation, but a Sfoux Cityan believes he has a monopoly, at least in this vicinity, on a_“reversible name.”. The man is E. H. Planalp of 1918 Jones street, man ager of the Barkalow Bros. cigar store at 505 4th stret. " The name “Planalp” is spelled the same way, forward or backward. Like Hannah, Anna and Otto, it “works both ways.” “I've met lots of people during my 15 years in this store, and I've been in quite a few towns and cities of the United States, byt I've never yet met any one, with the exception of mem- hers of my own family, who can spell the surname backward and forward with the same result,” Mr. Planalp commented. Planalp explained that his grand- father came to this country from Switzerland under the name of Aub- alp, but this was so unwieldy that he severed the first three letters, the result producing a “name in a mil- lion.” Are Cougars Friendly? From the Adventure Magazine The cougar {s, next to the wolverine, the oddest jigger among the wild think- ers, bayring human savages, of course. A ‘quirk is characteristic of the cougars (pumas, panthers, mountain lions, all one). They walk alone and alarm countless humans out of sheer companfonableness, with no least In- tention to harm. Thera are records of hungry cougars attacking and badly wounding children and men. In | northern California a local doctor tells | me he was nearby when a boy was | badly clawed and a woman who went to his rescue was injured to the death. But these hunger (probably) attacks are balanced against many times more demonstrations of friendliness, like the cats that walk with late pas- | sers-by In silent, dark hours of metr politan nights. We have been so eager to butcher wild life, especially the nobles of the forest, that we have only the faintest understanding of the mental processes of the creatures.

PADUCAH, Ky., August 7.—Grim- 1y determined, rescue crews tonight continued their efforts to penetrate the mass of rock and mud that pored into the drift of the Hudson Zinc and Spar Co.’s mine near Salem in Livingstone County Thursday night, entombing five miners. A crew began work of sinking a dlamond drill through the roof of the tunnel today, through which it is hoped food and alr may be piped into the shaft to sustain the miners until the main tunnel can be reopened. While this work goes forward, doubts are being expressed as to whether or not the air line can be completed in time to be of assistance to the men, as the depths of the drift in the main tunnel has made com- munication with the men impossible. Special sinking pumpers, that force sand and mud, as well as water, were installed at the mine today to speed the work of driving through the slide to the entombed men. Work of clear- ing the main shaft is continualiy hampered by fresh slides and the emergency pump s continually clogged with mud, forcing delays in pumping water from the mine. If the specfal pumpers function con- tinually, engineers directing the res- cue hope to have the shaft clear of water some time tomorrow, when work of clearing the shaft will go forward more rapidly. ‘Throughout the day and tonight, relatives and friends of the men trapped by the slide stood be- side the shaft. Some of the watchers whose loved ones are trapped have not left the vicinity of the pit, where rescuers are laboring, some, when exhausted, have gone a few steps away and slept on the ground, others have slept on piles of lumber close by the opening.
