Repeal of the Jaw limiting the pur chase price of school and park sites to 25 per cent above the assessed value| was urged by Charles H. Galliher and Rufus Lusk, testifying before the Sen- ate District committee yesterday aft- ernoon on a bill relating to the ac- quisition of park areas. The purpose of the bill was to give the National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission a means of prevent- {ing owners of prospective park lands from building or-otherwise rendering the land unfit for park purposes be: tween the time a condemnation pro- ceeding is begun and an award made. Requests Further Study. After discussing the problem for an hour the committee, through Chair- man Capper, requested Engineer Com- missioner Bell and Lieut. Col. Grant, director of public buildings and parks, to make a further study of the que tion. Fred G. Coldren, secretary of the Park Commission, explained that the pending bill would require the value of the land to be fixed as of the date of filing the condemnation petition and that no allowance would be made for any construction or grading done after the filing. On the other hand, de- duction would be made for any dam- {age done to therland for park pur- poses, such as cutting of trees or grad- ing. A monthly compensation would be paid to the property owner for re- stricting his use of the property dur- ing the period of the condemnation|, proceeding, whether the land was finally taken or not. Senators Bruce of Maryland and Sackett of Kentucky suggested this might place the property owner too much at the mercy of the Government by restricting the use of the property without giving definite assurance the land would be taken at the end of the proceeding. Senator Sackett said that in some States the authorities in condemning land for public pur- poses post & bond in court to insure final payment for the ground and then take full control of the land imme- diately. He advised the park officials to consider proposing such a bill for the Distriot. Government Should Buy Privately. Mr. Galliher told the committee the 25 per cent lmitation on purchases has practically eliminated direct pur- chase and is resulting in all cases going to condemnation. Mr. Lusk said the Government should buy land Just as private individuals buy— namely, by taking it immediately when they decide they want it. The committee voted a favorable report on the bill for the widening of C street northeast from North Caro- lina avenue to Twenty-first street. The committee also approved a bill introduced by Senator Willis of Ohio to correct a legal technicality neces- sary to enable Sibley Hospital to ac- cept bequests made to the institution. DOG MAY PAY COST OF MAN’S TOMBSTONE Sale of Herself and Puppies Ex- peoted to Realize Enough Money to Mark Grave. By the Associated Prees. MINEAPOLIS, Minn.,, February 4. —Malda, & police dog, may pay for a_tombstone at the grave of her master, “Old George” Barth, as well as his burial expenses with money realized from her sale. For pupples are expected soon in Malida’s kennel, and from the sale of the mother and puppies enough may be left for a tombstone after burial expenses are paid. “Old Barth” was killed by an auto- mobile 10 days ago and Maida, stand- ing guard over his body, at first would not permit any one to ap- proach. To save the man from the potter’s fleld it was decided to sell the dog, valued at more than $200. Then came a cable from Barth's brother in Norway, agreeing to pay funeral ex- penses if funds received from sale of the dog are not ample. The offer from representatives of Mrs. Marshall Field to purchase the dog has been withdrawn, PRAYERS FOR WILSON. Memorial Services Held at Wash- ington Cathedral.

Solving the Problem. “The pending resolution (S 133), solves this problem powering Congress not to admit the District to ‘statehood, which would destroy its power of exclusive legislu- tion, but to grant to District residents representation like that of citizens of a State in Congress and the electo college (with access to the Fede courts) and no other powers and tributes of statehood than those specifically enumerated. This solution of the problem harmonizes two gre American principles: First, ‘that in our representative Republic, subject to limitations and conditions uni- formly applied, all national Americans ought to have the opportunity to par- ticipate in their National Government, and, second, the principle laid down by the forefathers as a national neces sity that the Nation through Congre should have exclusive control of the Nation's Capital. “No reason appears why Congre: should not approve the proposition to grant itself this new, wholesome power, logically and equitably round- | ing out the existing corresponding constitutional power which it now possesses in respect to every foot of territory belonging to the United | States ‘except the district constitut ing the seat of Government of the United States, the District of Co- lumbia. “Adoption of the constitutional | amendment while it arms Congress | with a new power does not commit | Congress as to when it shall exer this power, and the amendment may thus be favored both by those who urge immediate exercise of the power as soon as the constitutional amend- ment is ratified and also by those who wish to relleve Congress from the shame of this peculiar impotency but desire to postpone exercise of the power until the District is betfer fitted, in their opinion, to enjoy na- tional representation.” Not Proposed by Orgauized D. C. Evidence that .the proponents of the constitutional amendment giving Congress the power to enfranchise the citizens of the District through na tional representation recognize the paramount and inalienable Tight of Congress to exclusive legislation over the District is afforded by certain por- tions of the Washingtonian Amer- icanization Catechism,” in which, in the form of question and answer the scope, purpose and significance of the amendment are discussed.
