THE EVENING STAR. WETHODITS MEET DE. 90N ADDTON Board Official Says He Has ‘Not Heard of U. S. Plans _ to Use Site. Blocked by two municipal regulations g Wi the proposed $500,000 addition to the Methodist as originally planned, the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Epis- copal Church will meet Decemb.r 9 to decide the future of the ject, it was announced today by Deels Pickett, re- search secretary of the board. Speaking in the absence from the office of Dr. -Clarence True Wilson, eral secrctary of the board, Mr. ickett said that he had heard nothing of a report published today that a movement was being started to provide for the condemnation of the Methodist Building and its adjoining site to pro- vide for expansion of the Federal build- ing program about.the grounds of the Capitol. Zone Change Needed. ‘The proposed addition to the Matho- dist Building, which stands at the northeast corner of Maryland avenue and First street northeast, overlooking the grounds of the Capitol, has be2n held up due to failure of the board to obtain approval of a requested change in zoning. The original plans also could not be carried to completion due to a limit on the maximum heights of build- ings there, adopted during the past year by _the District Commissioners. For these reasons, Mr. Pickett naid, the project now was in somewhat an uncertain state. ‘The original plans for the addition | to the Methodist Building, which has been planned for more than a year, called for a structure of the same cor- nice height as that of the Methodist Buil , which is 72 feet high. sought a change in the woning of the site of the addition, rais- ing the height limit from 60 to 90 feet, * explaining that it planned to erect a pullding of but 72 feet high, which could not be done under the 60-foot zoning. Petition Is Rejected. ‘The District Zoning Commission, , rejected this petition, on the ground that it would make possible the constructicn later, if the present or sub- sequent owners of the property desired, of additional stories to the height of 90 feet. This, it was argued by some objectors at the zoning hearing, would make possible a building high enough to overshadow the new United States Supreme Court Building to be erected to_the south of the Methodist Building. During the past year, also, the Dis- trict Commissioners adopted height limits cn various properties here near to Government areas. including the site of the Methodist Building addition, set- ting the limit at 60 feet. Thus the addition to the Methodist , 1t is explained, now is limited to 60 feet, a building of 72 feet height being barred. o s SR e COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK, December 2.—Hunting @8 a form of farm relief was described by conservationists yesterday at the Begnuenth American Game Confer- Ross L. Leffler of McKeesport, Pa., chairman of the conference and presi- dent of Pennsylvania's Board of Game joners, said: “There are any number of farmers in Pennsylvania ‘who make more money out of game than they do from their crops.” This statement was echoed by J. G. Burr, research director of the Texas Game, Fich and Oyster Commission, and Seth E. Gordon of Chicago, con- servation director of the Isaak Walton lc':l\lo of ’Amefla. who discussed the relations of s en and farmers in the West nnm. Texas landowners, he explained, make more money under a law in the State's 6-year-old hunting preserve system which provides that a farmer may charge up to a maximum of $4 a day for hunting privileges on land. In Pennsyivania, Leffler said, money is collected sportsmen by several methods. One plan was for hunters to pay farmers for “environmental con- trol,” which meant keeping sufficient covers and providing natural food and control of predatory birds and animals. Another system involved the sale of hunting pri , boarding sportsmen, acting as hi guides and boarding Famous Cotillion Held in Baltimore Marked by Color 62 Girls Make Debut in Bachelors’ Event 122 Years Old. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Md., December 2.— Social traditions 122 years old were carried out under more colorful cir- cumstances than ever before here last night as 62 debutantes from this and other cities made their formal bows to society at the season’s first bachlor's cotillion. Until recent years a rigld rule of the function, believed to be antedated only by the St. Cecelia ball at Charlestcn, S. C, and the Philadelphia assembly, was that the only color must come from the profution of flowers. But with the World War, evening gowns in colors made their appcarance, and last night they were more in evidence than_ ever. Numercus difiners at various Baltl- more homes preceded the affair at the old Lyric Theater. Each girl, approved officially by the cotillion board, arrived in company with one or more escorts and a chaperone. ‘The decorations included the same big candelabra and the same gold bro- caded drapes that have brightened cctillons for almost half a century. The footmen's liveries and the 600 gold- brecaded cushions that were put on the steps' leading up to the stage, where supper was served, have also seen a half century of service. In addition to the 62 debutantes for- mally presented, 12 others who have made their debut elsewhere were in- vited, but were considered to be guests. ‘The finishing touches to the decora- tions, widely famed because of the pro- fusion of flowers, were added this year by new hands. Gegyrge Black, the florist who for 46 years charge of deco- rations, died Friday night. TELEVISION ORDER HIT BY COLUMBIA Examiners’ Denial of Right to Experiment Is Held Con- trary to Freedom of Science. Contending that it “could not accept any intimaiton that a large broadcast- ing organization cannot contribute ma- terially tp the development of television simply ause it is not the primary Pmanufacturer of basic apparatus,” the Columbia Broadcasting System yester- day took exception to the report of one of the Federal Radio Commission’s ex- aminers recommending that the Co- lumbia system de'ay its plan to con- tribute to the development of television. “When the examiner’s decision comes before the commission for actiom, ‘t is _expected that proper consideration wili be given to the factor of strong competition that the Colldnbil system wishes to bring into televifion develop- ment, just as it has brought competi- tion into network broadcasting,” a state- ment from the Columbia system sald. “The Columbia system carcfully in- vestigated television apparatus of va- rious developers, both American and fofelgn. It wishes to begin its experi- mental work with the best available equipment. If this application is de- nied, the Columbia system might be forced to use equipment of foreign manufacture. It would prefer American television equipment rather than to turn to foreign devices, but obviously the Columbia system cannot altogether be deprived or deprive itself of the op- portunity to be ready to meet develop- ments in this new field. “To deny the American people the potential benefits of the Columbia sys- WASHINGTON, 4 DIE, 6 BURNED IN HUNTING BLAZE Survivors of Fire in Camp Wounded by Exploding Shotgun Shells. By the Associated Press. OTIS, Mass, December - 2. — Four hunters perished and six others were burned and wounded by exploding shells when a camp in which 14 men were housed was destroyed by fire near here carly this morning. ‘ The dead are Otto Rittner and Jo- seph Genniv of New Britain, Conn., and Thomas Hill and Daniel Reilly of Shelton, Conn. The hunters were awakened when a stove exploded. The fire gained great headway so rapidly that boxes of shot- gun shells soon began to discharge. Ten of the men, scantily clad, jumped through windows of the two-story cot- tage, but the other four were trapped by the flames. The weather was frigid, the mercury registering five degrees above zero. The camp was located half a mile from the nearest telephone and it was only after farmers noticed the flames that aid arrived. The injured men, suf- fering from burns and wounds, were rushed to a hospital in Winsted, Conn., when residents arrived in automobiles. Two of the four automobiles at the camp were burned, while the keys to the others were lost in the blaze, tem’s competitive energy and resources for the development of television would be contrary to the ugflnclple of free and unrestricted scientific investigation.” D.

DAYTON, Ky, December 2.—Rev.
