A movement to appeal to all finan- cial and commercial organizations in the United States to unite in making Washington the largest and most beau- tiful Capital of any nation as well as the financial, diplomatic, educational and social center of the world. is re- vealed in a petition sent to the Senate by Koma Nelson, chairman of the Greater Washington Committee. The committee’s petition was accom- panied by a copy of a speech made 30 years ago by Arthur E. Randle, founder ’or Congress Heights, D. C., at the Amer- ican dinner in London and entitled “The Future of Washington.” “We are told that Washington can never be as large as New York Ctiy,” Mr. Randle said in the speech, “because our port is not as good as that of the latter; but by precedent and logical de- ductions this idea is a most erroneous one. “I maintain,” the speaker continued, “that there is no question but that ‘Washington will, in time, be the largest city on the American Continent, if not in_the world.” Randle in his address pictured the position of prominence and the heights of glory to which the famous capital cities of European nations had climbed and asserted that “the rule that the capital city grows to be the largest and most important city of a nation holds good with even the almond-eyed Mon- golian as well as with his more enlight- ened Christian brother.” CLAIMS HUSBAND WAS “LED ASTRAY” Atlanta Woman Sues Noted Sports- man for $75,000, Alleging Mate Was Induced to Desert Her. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga:, February 12.—Charg- ing that Conkey P. Whitehead, Atlanta sportsman, had led astray her husband, his secretary, Samuel L. Jones, Mrs. Ruby S. Jones filed suit in Fulton Su- perior Court today, asking $75,000 damages. She alleged that Whitehead had en- couraged her husband to drink and as- sociate with questionable women and ultimately caused him to abandon her in October, 1928. Mrs. Jones has a suit for divorce pending. Whitehead recently was named de- fendant in a $250,000 suit for damages filed by Frances Porter, a dancer, who alleged humiliation and breach of promise, following charges of the sports- man in Havana that she struck him with a slipper heel and stuck him with pins aboard his yacht, the Malvern, then at anchor at the Cuban port.
