Anticipating enactment of a bill to provide control by the Fine Arts Com- mission over the character of private buildings erected on property adjoin- ing Government buildings or parks, owners of the old ¥ranklin Square Ho- tel property, Fourteenth and K streets, will submit to the Fine Arts body for approval plans for a large office building which shortly is to be erected on the site. The hotel property acquired sometime ago by a_group of local in- vestors, including Bates Warren and Maj. W. L. Browning. Plans for the new office building, which is to be 120 fect high with a setback above the 110-foot_height, have been drawn by Robert F. Beresford, president of the local chapter of the American Insti tute of Architects, Would Face Park. Due to the fact that this new build- ing would face Franklin Park, on the opposite corner of Fourteenth and K streets, and therefore would come within the provisions of the proposed law. the owners decided voluntarily to ask the Fine Arts Commission to view their plans and make sugg tions tor any change deemed advisa ble.

NEW ARMY AIR FIELD. $75,663 Port to Be Constructed on Long Island. An emergency landing field is to be constructed at once at Fort Tilden, near Rockaway Park, Long 1sland, at an estimated cost of $75.663. It is pointed out at the War Department that this field has several advantages, including that of belng on the air route between Bolling Field, at A costia, and Mitchel Field, Long Island. It is expected to make for safety along that route, as Fort Tilden is free from fog, whereas Mitchel Field is often covered with a dense ground fog dur- ing the Spring and Autumn. The new station will greatly facilitate anti-air- eraft practice and also aerial spotting for the cos E guns at Forts Tilden and Hancock. | watched Remus for da REMUS HYSTERICAL AS HE HEARS PLOT S*ory of Slain Wife’s Move to| Kill Him Brings Scene Forcing Recess.

CLASSIFICATION OF AIR SCHOOLS IS URGED HERE Aviation Conference Hears Plan for Code of Ethics and Is- suance of Certificates. Classification of flying schools as to their ability to turn out trained and experienced air pilots was proposed by W. B.

Credentials should be issued and a code of ethies for in- structors and pilots established, Mr. Robertson said Several speakers at the morning ses- sion today declared that progress of the art of flying is being held back by the jurisdictional restrictions that proclaim it to be difficult. Some said that flying is no more difficult than management of an automobile, and that 99 out of 100 fiyers of today would not have entered aviation had they been bound about by the restric- tions in effect today and those pro- posed. 5,000 would e | MEETING OF BRIAND AND DUCE DENIED French and Italians at Gene- va Indicate Conference May Come Later.

In Italian circles the view prevailed that the meeting would be useless un less Briand was ready to submit con- crete proposals to Mussolini, especially on an economic outlet for the in creasing Italian population The Italians were inclined to think that the meeting would not be ar ranged until Maurice de Beaumar- chais, the new French Ambassador, assumes his po Rome and gets in touch with Mussolini.
