ASKSEARLY START ON BI-GENTENNIAL Five Years None Too Long for | Washington to Prepare, Says G. W. U. President. The National Capital should begin now to Jay plans for the ohservance of the 200th anniversarv of the bl of George Washington in 1932, so that the attention of the whole Nation wili be attructed to the event, Dr. William Mather Lewis, president of George Washington University, told members of the City Club at their second forum luncheon of the season this afternoon Washington does not need to stage an exposition to honor the Father of His Country on that anniversary, Dr. Lewis declared. pointinz vut that the parmanent architectural features of the cit s museums and art sal lerfes “equal those of any temporary exposition that could be organized “But the anniversary year must be en planped and featured that the at tention of the Nation is drawn fo it. the speaker continued. *“The Sesqui centennial Exposition officials in Phil adalphia counted on 25,000,600 visit ors. They fell far short. But it is not too much to expect that number to visit Washington in the 200th an niversary yvear if proper arrangements are made. “If by 1932 a great stadium were available, a series of toric pageants cturing tv= development of Wash- ington trom the Indian times down to the present would be of national in- terest and value. Likewise an exhibit of pictires showing the development of Washington: proper marking of all historic shrines and national me- morials: the proper featuring of Washington's educational institutions; proper arrangement for the care of A multitude of guests-—all these things can be provided by the proper fore sight, Other commuinities have learned that five vears is none too long a time to prepare for a great celebra- tio The President of the United States has appointed a distinguished com- mittee 1o consider the tha bl-centen- nial from a national standpoint. Or- ganizations of the City of Washington will do well to give careful and intel- ligent attention to an event which will mean much tothe Nation at large and which will be an epoch-making event in advancing the interesis of Wash- tngton.” Dr. Lewis was Gen. Anton Stephan, who p dent of the €ity Cluh. Dr. Lewis touched on some of the citv-planning problems large Ameri can cities are facing to meet modern conditions, such as tratfic. and sald that. thanks to the foresight of George Washington and Maj. L'En fant, Washington has less to discard than any other city, hecause the seat Government was laid out on a proper framework The conditions that do need atten tion to meet the growth of the Na tlonal Capital are now heing studied by the city-planning officials, he said.

This PEPCOFUND CASE REOPENING ARGUED Consumer and U. S. Claim Additional Sums—Company Sees Issue Closed. Justice Stafford of the Di Supreme Court today heard ments of counsel on the petition of Edwin W. Davis, a private consumer, and the United States of America to intervene in the valuation suit of the Potomae Electric Power against the Publle Utilities Commission. Mr. Davis and the controller general both ask the court to permit them to intervene and attack the validity of the consent decree under which the company divided with the consumers an impounded fund of $6.000,000. The court lacked power to give away their money to the company, say interveners. Davis wants an addition- al $39 as hix share of the fund allowed to be retained by the company and the Government says it is en titled to an additional $200,000. Attorneys John 8. Barbour and R. Bowen appeared for the Pepeo and filed objections to the granting of the requests to intervene. It is now too late to permit intervention, the com pany asserts, as the decree of Decem- ber 31, 1924, was final and the case re- tained on the docket only for further {orders no the footing of that decree. s except by virtue of the consent dec as the attempted reduction in r by the commission have never been in effect and were permanently enjoined by the court, leaving the only legal rate_collectible by the company the old 10-cent rate, which made the en- tire impounded fund the property of the company.

Gang May Be Responsible. The existénce of 4 gang at the fort which made a practice of preying ou spooniers near the southwest corner of Arlington Cemetery has been sus- pected for some time. ~Whether or not Miller was a member of this band, or Whether he stumbled onto them while taking the usual short cut from the fort to the road to Washington, js con: jecture. But there is a growing sus. picion that some member of this band for an undetermined reason, ma have shot him after the attack on Johnson. Officials who were examining the scene of the murder late vesterday aft- ernoon found Johnson's pocket book, containing a number of addresses. and the fragments of glass from the head- light of his motor cycle. One of these frugments was clearly plerced by a builet, thus substantiating that pha: of his story, tou. While they were there a sirange man approached and announced that he was Earl V. Betty, an evangelist and & close friend of both Johnson and Miss Gray. The peculiar manner in_which he answered questions re- sulted in his arrest temporarily. Later he was taken to the louse of Detention and was identified by Miss G as a friend and he was re leased.
