This calls for an appropriation next year of $300.000 to start a $3,500.000 project to be completed in | five years, covering the entire stretch of water front from the railroad at Fourteenth _street to Washington ‘Barracks. This has been urged by The Star and by the Washington Board of Trade for more than a quar- ter of a century. The improvement is provided for In the rivers and harbors bill. In the regular routine procedure it would take three years to get this started, but In view of the fact that some of the wharves are now in a bad state of disrepair, it is felt that the absolutely necessary repairs should fit in with the permanent develop- ment program. All of the property is owned by the United States, though some of it is under the jurisdiction of the Treasury, the District Com- missioners and the Chief of Engineers. this development should equitably in the minds of the engineer officers and city planners, who have been working on the project. The only conclusion thus far is that the cost should not be paid entirely from Federal funds. The contemplated development calls for the construction of bulkhead. piers and wharves and provides for the ir provement of Water street and its connection with the Speedway. the Potomac Park drive and the pavk- way houlevard entirely encircling the Capital. The question first to be decided in regard to finances is how much the Federal Government should be called upon to contribute to the construction of the wharves. Two Views Expressed. Two views have been expressed: First—It is Government property and Government improvement, and the Government should bear the en- tire expense and then lease out the wharves at a return that would in- clude as much interest as the Gov- ernment pays. Second—That the Federal Govern- ment cught to put up the wharves for strictly commercial use and leave the two vacht basins and the wharves for the District Government—to be used for sand and gravel, police, morgue and fire—to be otherwise financed. The District activities should —be ix argued, and the vacht harbor costs could be included in park appropria- ions : The recommendations to be made to Congress regarding financing have not vet been definitely decided. According to the rivers and ha hot plan. an examination is first made and a survey is authorized. then the district engineer makes up a project and reports on that improve ment. Then Congress acts in author- izing the profect. with the money carried in the rivers and harbots <ection of the Army appropriation The rivers and harbors act provides for this Washington City water-front survey as regards facili- ties, highway connection and in line with plans for beautfication of the Capital. The present report therefore. has two phases—for adequate provision for commercial requirements. and for harmonizing # with the Capital em- bellishment program. Report Will Go To Congress. The report which will go to Con- ress as soon as it assembles, has to Re passed upon by the engineer officer in New York and then by the Rive and Harbors Board of Engineers.

Between Fourteenth and Twelfth streets (up to the municipal fish wharf) would be provided berthing space for 15 large vachts. to Washington@in increasing numbers. Between I and G streets, where | they cut diagonally into Water street, is the municipal fish wharf, which would not be disturbed. Between G street and H street is space reserved for two future com- merclal wharves, which are not vet needed. It will be recommended that the Capital Yacht Club be allowed to keep the present location, as the at- tractiv® clubhouse will fit nicely into the picture as planned. Between H street and where I street and Ninth. street run together at Water streBt is to be a large pier- head, one half of which will be used by the District government for un- loading sand and gravel and the other half the District workhouse yard. Provisions for Yachts. Between ‘Ninth street and Sixth street will be eight other piers. which will group all the other steamboat business, including the Norfolk and Washington, Mt. Vernon and other down-rivep lines: one for the District of Columbla morgue, harbor precinct and fire station, between M and N streets: one for the U. S. Navy and Lighthouse Service at the foot of N street, and for a small marine rail- way and repair plant between Sixth and N streets. Between Sixth street and P street is to be a vacht basin for small boats adjacent to the Washington Barracks grounds. In this scheme care has been exer- cised to provide space for people who own yachts and have no ciub affilia- tions. Provision is made for berthing large yachts, with opportunities for repairs and with agfuel station. Emphasis must be given to the fact that an increasing number of large vachts ,visit \Washington each year and as'adequate berthing and repair facilities are provided, the number will constantly increase. The thought is that as we provide at the Union Sta- tion for rail visitors, and in our high- way swstem and the tourist's camp for motor visitors, it is only logical also to afford adequate accommodation for people who come by water. Raised Street Abandoned. Water street is to be improved as a regular city street on the shore side for trucking. Then there will be a par- allel boulevard for pleasure motorists, separated from the truck and business vehicles, by a grass and shrubber parkway. Heretofore it has been pla ned that the boulevard drive would be terraced above the business roadway. but this is now abandoned and it is planned that they will be on the same level. A careful study has shown that there i{s no necessity for a raised street To secure harmonious car of the beautification scheme. ticular application to the piers, houses, transit sheds and warehouses, careful - study has heen directed. The engineer officer in conferences with the city planners is trying to se- cure a pleasing appearance by regular and harmonious treatment of all struc- tures in keeping with others already built, including the Washington Bar- racke, the new offices of the .\'orfo“é an the Municipal Fish Market. They have adopted a conventionalized colonial design for these structures, which they think will give the whole area a pleasing appearance. As people look across the channel from Potomac Park, they will see these structures banked against green. ery and chrubbery, which will hide any unsightly warehouses and dwell ings on private property.

In' connection with the proposed modern airport. to accommodate the present needs and anticipated conges tion as the volume of private, civic and commercial flying increases, It i considered the area should be at lcast 3,000 feet square, and, above all, close to the business center of a city. A fileld 3,000 feet square: would en able ‘“four-way landings” or make it possible for an incoming pilot to obey the laws of flying, which specify a plane in coming to rest or taking oft always should head straight into the wind. Two-way fields are not satis- factory, although experienced pilote have little difficulty in taking off or alighting. The necessity for the airport being in close proximity to the citv is not to lose any of the time gained by air travel. Airplanes coming to Washing- ton from the West have about a 10 hour advantage over the fastest traine because of the mountains, but there is not so very much time to be gained in short airplane flights from nearby points The War Department owns Bolling Field, which it _shares with the land planes at the Naval Air Station. Thie field already is crowded, but as therc is little hope of establishing a larger military airdrome near Washington the Air Corps has decided to make the best of its present equipment. Civilian and military airplanes can- not mix on the same field experience in other parts of the country has borne out. At an alrport, individual owners may obtain hangar space, fuel, spare parts, mechanical service. metereological advice, maps and other forms of assistance for flying. The airport also would be the grand central terminal for all .cémmercial lines operating in, out or through Washington. Civilian aviation there- fore would be centralized on one broad area, unlike Chicago which now has three or four municipal airports scattered thyoughout its limits, and which are not working to advantage because of the lack of centralization. Coming Air Hub. The Department of Commerce's bureau of civil aviation sees the neces- sity for Washington having a model airport, as in a few short years this city will he in every Eastern and Southern air route afid will continue to be the mecca for air travel. The hill rising immediately behind Bolling Field, and on which St. Eliz- abeth’s Hospital is situated. also is scheduled for beautification in the fu- ture. It is the hope of the War De- partment. although not the an- nounced policy. to abolish the tem- porary wooden structures which house a small nurhber of the officers, and locate permanent quarters mid- way to the top of the elevation. When this is accomplished it would resemble to a great degree, the arrangement of officer quarters at Crissey Feld, Presidio. San Francisco, which _also is backed by an abrupt hill. The uniform buildings are neatly arranged along the side and viewed from a distance enhance the spectacle presented by the wooded hill. Those who have been in conference on all these plans are enthusiastic as never before of the early development of a most beautiful waterway ap- proach to the Capital. They are con- sidered unrivaled and exclusive, for mo water-side citv in the world has anything approaching the same set- ting. These plans have resulted from extensive world-wide study and in- spection. Maj. Somerville, who draft- ed the plans. has personally studied the entgre area from the Black Sea to (Continued from First Page.) came up against another difficulty in attempting to piece together the mur- der theory. At first observation it was taken | for granted that the necktie found in Scrivener’s hand had been pulled trom thé neck of his assailant. By prying under the surface, however. this element bhecame an important consideration, since the actual break- ing of such a tie was far more diffi cult than might be supposed. Some Facts Shielded. Thus, two secondary facts crop up as obstacles to investigators on a murder theory. In connection with the pistol and the tie, the police are in possession of :dditional important facts which they decline to make public. Physicians who have examined the body of Scrivener contend that he had a *‘death grip” on the tle. This fact makes more difficult an answer to the question as to how Scrivener could have fallen up grade, if he were extended, off balance and down grade when a bullet, which physiclans say naralyzed faculties when® it entered his heart. made his body a literal dead weight. Another fact, built up from an examination of the pistol. is that numerals identifying the weapon had been filed off, leaving the serial num- ber indecipherable. This has pre- vented police from tracing the course of that pistol from factory to last holder, but factory experts now work- ing on this angle have not finally re- ported on the sucdess or failure of their attempts to bring out the serial number. This leaves one angle still a problem. An attempt to obtain this information before the inquest is or- dered will be made by the police. The fact that Scrivener was in the best of spirits when seen by news- paper friends only a few hours before he met death is used for the basis of the supposition that he walked to his death unsuspecting. ~This presents the strongest support to the murder theory and the strongest ohstacle to any other repellant theory. It will be another puzzle for the coroner’s jury. Fingerprints Obscure. Fingerprints were found on the pis- tol. They were obscured. But there were sufficient indications left to as- sure police they were placed there hy a person other than Scrivener. It may have been a murderer. It may have been some careless person early on the scene. They are strong obstacles to any theory other than murder thus far. Police still face the task of sur- mounting them. Yet. swinging the pendulum of con- sideration, came another set of sec- ondary facts. Scrivener, courageous and alert, met death without a strug- gle. with his right hand, greatest natural means of defense. grasping not the greatest menace, a pistol, but the necktie. Absence of marks or in- dications of a struggle build up still another puzzle for the coroner’'s jury. and it has seriously hindered in- yestigators working on a murder heory. Investigators have been informed, however, of matters which have not been ascertained to be facts. They learned Scrivener was evidently wor- rled and distraught during several periods immediately preceding the time of his death. They learned of debts; of other things surprising to them. Some of these have been veri- fled. Others have not. 'They remain more in the realm of theories than e i African ports, and nothing was found at all applicable to Washington, so a solution was worked out which repre- sents the best talent in the world and a waterfront beautification unsur- passed_elther in scope or detail to give Washington Beautiful, the fin- est city In all the world, an ideal de- Liverpool.

Her story s the strong: est indication that a murder was com- mitted. and contests any other theor The report is unsupported by any other, however. Taking these matters. together with other important facts believed to be in the hands 4f the police, and remembering that a detective quick and keen as Scrivener used his right hand to grab a necktie, and died without leaving a sign of a struggle, the coroner’s jury will be faced with weighing the scant facts so far un- covered in the case, and of choosing from these three verdicts: First—That Arthur B. Secrivener met his death at the hands of a mur- derer. i Second—That he died by his own hand. : Third—That the jury finds he met death in some manner unknown to the jury. The police will present the facts discovered by investigation and the Jury will base its judgment upon con- sideration of those facts.

By the Associated Press. | The Democratic party will win the approaching congressional elections | on the major issues of “honest elec. tions and honesty In government, tax reduction and a square deal for agri- | culture,” Chairman Oldfleld of the! Democtatic congressional campaign codnmittee, said in a radlo address here last night. A shifting of issues was charged against the Republicans. who, Mr. Oldfield said, had first tried econom then prosperity and then the Pres dent himself as talking poings. The prosperity, he asserted, had been shown to be a spotty issue, because neither the farmers nor the industrial workers had shared in it. Chairman Oldfield held that Labor Department figures showed that un- employment is 20 per cent greater this vear than it was in 1920, and that payrolls are 25 per cent lower. This proved, he contended, that whatever prosperity exists is relatively ) in the aggregate than under the Wilson administration. 1 “The other shibboleth of the G. O. P." he sald, “is ‘Stand by the Presi-| dent.” It means that if the Senate had ‘stood by the President’ there would have been no development of the Teapot Dome and Elk Hills oil scandals * * There would have been no need of the sensational dis- closures relating to Forbes, mow in the penitentiary, or to Harry Daugh- erty or Tom Miller. And if we are to ‘stand by the President’ now, we must ‘stand for' 'Bill' Vare and the three million-dollar primary scandals in Pennsylvania, and Frank Smith and the million-dollar slush fund in Ilii- nois. “] believe the decency of the great army of American voters, men and women, has felt a sense of outrage at these debaucheries, which have failed to evoke a single word of criticism at the White House, while on the other hand their candidates are being vigor- ously supported by men prominent in the councils of the Coolidge adminis- tration.” MW’ADOO DEFENDS TAX REDUCTION AS SOUND | Republicans Holding Back on Pro- | posal as 1928 Bait, He Writes Simmons.
