RAND Y PROBE OFCAVEIN ASKED 5 Recommendation Made After - *Inquest Into Death of Laborer. Grand jury investigation of the cave- In at Fourteenth and K streets Thurs- day, which cost the lives of two colored laborers, was recommended by a cor- oner's jury which yesterday held an in- quest. “We recommend that the case be pre- sented to the grand jury for its ac- tion,” the verdict said, after a dozen | witnesses summoned from the office of | the District bulding inspector and the | Morris Cafritz Construction Co., which | is excavating for a hotel at the site, had been heard. & he L The testimony developed conflict as to proper precautionary measures hav- ing been taken, and it was said official- 1y that because of this the grand jury probe was deemed necessary. As a re- sult of the verdict the death certificates of Walter J. Thomas and Joseph Waters, the men killed, will bear the notation “homicide,” as differentiated from “ac- cidental,” it was announced by Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt, who conducted the est. m%e inquest was held in the case of Thomas and his death certificate was prepared at once by the coroner in ac- cordance with findings of the jury. The same verdict will be applied in Waters’ death and the certificate fixed today, Dr. Nevitt said. | The jury said Thomas came to his| death irom fractured ribs and suffo- | cation due to having been buried under the earth of the cave-in at the exca- | vation at Fourteenth and K streets| under operation. The verdict came after about a quar- ter of an hour’s deliberation, and after | Nefl P. Burkinshow, assistant United States attorney, who conducted the case for the District, had been called into the jurors’ room for consultation. Burk- inshaw was assisted in his examination of the witnesses by Walter Fowler, as- sistant corporation counsel. The coroner’s jury was composed of P. J. Barbour, Ernest R. Post, John D. McDuffle, Jaseph A. Nagel, sr.; George M. Yeatman and J. T.

Business men’s luncheons are advocated, with appro- priate speaking programs. Show-win- dow exhibitions should be arranged by local merchants. Handmade posters “showing the ter- rific and mounting costs of wars and graphically setting out what money thus used could do for constructive en- ter) , can be displayed in windows, ‘Talis, schools, churches, libraries, club- Tooms lecture halls.” Pacifists are urged to secure “page or half-page ad- vertisements in the local papers, paid for by local merchants and professional men, quoting statesmen who plead for support in building peace and giving facts and figures of the foolish- ness and waste and barbarity and evil | of war.” Public schools, Sunday schools and churches are invited to stage dem- zrmg: light-and. these communicate with either the National Oeuncil for Prevention of War at Wash- or _the Federal Council of hes, New York.

New Wing Also Viewed. At a suitable hour the new wing housing the splendid W. A. Clark art collection, whose formal opening oc- curred last Spring, was thrown open and those in attendance availed them- selves of the opportunity of viewing its varied treasures and of comparing artistic efforts of today with those of days and schools gone by. ‘The exhibition, which will be opened to the public today and will remain on view through Sunday, December 9, com- prises 347 paintings by 255 dIff:erent artists. A comprehensive technical re- view of the merits thereof by the art editor of The Star appears in another portion of today's issue, while repro- ductions of the prize pictures and of other noteworthy items will be found in its rotogravure section. Without un- dertaking in the slightest degree any critique of the display, it may safely be said that, in the opinion of those directly concerned with its assemblage, it is, as a whole, undoubtedly the strongest, the most vital and the most colorful of any biennial held so far. It is admittedly more modern in char- acter and in spirit; on the other hand, while painters who are young in years and young in spirit have strong repre- sentation, all the older and more con- servative artists also are thoroughly rep- resented, and at their best. Younger Men Recognized. Many of the younger men are found to be working in new fields and the great strides they have made in recent years have obtained a recognition not unexpected. That a display of this diversified excellence makes for success was apparent through the obvious in- terest of last night's guest list, which included directors of galleries and of art museums, artists, critics, con- noisseurs, writers on art, art collectors and lovers of art generally. Special interest, as usual, centered on entries of the Clark prize winners, s m A.

Y., on his painting, “Landscape.” Included in the exhibition are more than a dozen paintings of great merit by members of the jury on award which were, on that account, ineligible to re- ceive prizes. Others present the work of first prize winners at former bien- nials which, because of the rule that an artist may obtain a higher but not a lower award, are likewise ineligible. These include a score of works by such eminent men as Davis, Hassam, Ben- son, Redfield, Garber and Hawthorne, Mr. and Mrs. Clark’s Benefactions. Since the last exhibition of this series Mrs. William A. Clark, widow of the donor of the Clark prizes and herself in other ways a generous benefactor to the Corcoran Gallery, and thereby to the furtherance of American art, has estab- lished an endowment fund of $100,000, the income from which is to be used for meeting the ever-growing expenses ‘Ater” roviding for these, 4y surphi T provi or , any income may be appropriated in the dis- cretion of the gallery trustees for the purchase of works bv American artists, Seven years ago Mr. Clark provided an endowment fund of identical amount, income from which perpetuates the ardently sought William A.

A photograph of Mr. Welker’s Residence, 4220 Nebraska Avenue N.W. We consider the experience of Mr. Welker is a most excellent test of the efficiency of the Bryant GAS-Heating Plant. ~ The location of this house on Nebraska Avenue, completely surrounded by open country, is such as to demand the utmost from any form of heating, There is NO GUESSING about the installation and operating (gas consumption) cost of a Bryant GAS-Heating Plant. And that you may visualize the COMPLETE COST for YOUR PARTICULAR HOME, we have made six classifications, or divisions, into which we have grouped homes of various sizes and exposures, based upon a given number of square feet of radiation. Your home is probably in one of these six classifications. If not, we shall be pleased to call and give you a special estimate.
