CAPITAL STADIUM PROGRAM SPEEDED Trade Board Group to Confer ' With Memorial Foundation- in Gotham. A definite step in the campaign to bring the $5,000,000 stadium, designed as a memorial to Theodore Roosevelt, to Washington was taken yesterday by the executive committee of the Washington Board of Trade at its meeting in the organization’s office, in The Star Build- ing, with the appointment of a special committee to confer with the Roosevelt Memorial Foundation in New York the latter part of next month. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks of the National Capital. will go with the Board of Trade committee to New York. Efforts will be made to obtain the co- operation of all interested bodies in Washington to secure the stadium for the citys The special committee, headed by Claude W. Owen, chairman of the organization's committee on community affairs, consists of Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan and Robert J. Cottrell, esecu- tive secretary. The stadium would cover some 75 acres, it was explained, and would be a welcome addition to the city. Trip Is Delayed. The trip of the committee to New York is to be delayed to give other civic organizations here an opportun.ty to voice their approval of the plan and to send letters to this effect to the Board of Trade. The board last March began consid- eration of the Roosevelt Memorial, when a survey was made showing that there is no memorial here of any con- sequence to Roosevelt, though all other outstanding Presidents have been hon- ored here with suitable memorials. In urging this type of Roosevelt me- morial members of the Board of Trade point out that such a stadium would serve not only as a municipal facility, but as a place where outstanding events of national or even international im- portance could be held, such as the wel- come that was given here to Col Charles A. Lindbergh, addresses by the President, great athletic programs or military reviews. % At a meeting of the community af- fairs committee of the board in March Maj. Carey Brown, engineer of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning-Com- mission, spoke in favor of the plan and listed a number of possible sites, the most attractive of which. he said, would be a large tract on the axis of East Capitol street, near the Anacostia | | Parkway, now being developed. Here, he said, would be available 50 or more acres of land having adequate parking space, good street car and railroad transportation facilities and the asset of Jocation near a beautiful Government | arkway. The Patterson tract and other Yocations alsa were suggested as pos- sibilities, such as near the Washington Base Ball Park and in nearby Virginia. Col. Grant to Go. Col. Grant is to accompany the spe- | slal committee of the board to New York in an advisory capacity, to explain to members of the foundation features of |/ various locations, how the stadium ‘would be managed by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission and || other phases of the question. Mr. Owen is to go member of the Foundation. This trip is to pave the way “or the later visit of the full special committee, when the matter formally will be laid before the foundation. Officials of the board feel that Con- will-be willing to provide the| necessary land for the memorial to} ‘Roosevelt in the event that the founda- tion decides to erect the memorial here. |/ Members of the Board of Trade say that many more people would visit the Roosevelt Memorial, should it take the form of a mammoth stadium in Wash- ington, than were it given another form and erected in another city. They emphasize the national and interna- tional prominence as a city and point to the fact that many thousands come here annually to visit the National g its attention to the carfare controversy, the executive committee set it down as its opinion that Wash- ington should have a uniform street railway fare and recorded it as the sense of the body that “we believe that all public utilities in the District of Columbia are entitled to a fair return on their approved valuaion. Adkins Makes Report. “Any increase in carfare, if granted, should apply to all street railways car- g passengers in the District of Co- Ilumbia,” the committee declared. This action of the executive committee will come up for action before the full membership of the Board of Trade at a meeting to be held October 17.

CHICAGO, September 25.—The deep- digging spade of the special grand jury probing for politico-criminal dirt in Chicago elections struck today for the first time into the City Hall. Samuel Ettelson, corporation coun- sel, and James W. Breen, his first assistant, were called before the jury to discuss reported pay roll padding in the city legal department. Frank J. Loesch, directing the inquiry, said Ettelson and Breen would be ques- tioned concerning the testimony of several score witnesses who said they received pay from Ettelson's office, al- though they did “little or no work.” Fifteen persons whose names appear on the corporation counsel’s pay roll testified yesterday. Loesch said they were questioned as to the nature of the work they did, and that in most cases the testimony indicated that while the witnesses had been active in the April primary campaign for candidates favored by the city admini- stration, their duties with the legal de- partment were negligible. Loesch said the pay roll investigation would be finished today, so that the jury, in its few remaining days, may | concentrate on vice and gambling con- | ditions. ALUMINUM GROUP FAGES NEW PROBE Government Moves to Broad- en Scope of Inquiry Into Company’s Transactions. Motion of Government counsel to broaden the charges of monopoly and unfair trade practices against the Aluminum Co. of America has been taken under advisement by the Fed- eral Trade Commission, following pro- tests by defense attorneys that the Government’s move is a final effort to revive a collapsed case. The motion for the amendment of the complaint, which was_originally filed in 1925, W made by Richard P. Whitely, commission counsel, during a hearing yesterday on the case. Outlines Scope of New Charges. The amended complaint would i clude charges that the Aluminum com- pany seeks to acquire bauxite deposits to prevent competition and to purchase waterpower sites which might be used by competitors in the manufacture of aluminum; that the company endeav- ors to control the market for foreign aluminum within this country, thereby restricting substantial competition in the foreign product, and that the com- pany sells its products to subsidiaries at a price below the cost of production and that this practice is for the pur- pose of harassing competitors, with the resultant effect of gaining and maintaining a monopoly of aluminum raw material, ingots and sheets.
