GANS POPULARTY Monument Shows Falling Off in Number of Visitors in 2 Months. An appurent inerease in the popu- larity of the Lincoln Memorial as a shrine for visitors to the National Capi- tal at the expense of the Washington ‘Monument is indicated by a count kept for the past two months During January and February the Lincoln Memorial attracted more visi- tors phan in the same period last year. ‘The Teverse is true for the Washington Monument, which suffered a falling off in numbers of sightseers. Officials in charge of the countifk of visitors were at a loss to explain the reason, pointing out that admission to both memorials is free. It is thought the construction of the Arlingtom Me- | - morial Bridge and the water gate and plaza adjacent to the Lincoln Memorial may have something to do with the increased interest in the shrine to Lincoln. ‘The Monument remains far in_ the lead in total numbers of visitors. - Last month the Lincoln Memorial at- tracted a total of 3,451 visitors between 4:30 and 9:30 pm. as it is only be- tween these hours that a_count is kept there, Inspector Willlam Wright of the ctive division of the Office of Pub- K?Buuamn and Public Farks explain- ed today. The Washington Monument last month drew a total of 12,842, mak- ing a grand total for both shrines in January of 16,293. This month the total number of visitors at the Lincoln Memorial has reached 4,893, while at the Washington Monument, where an all-day count is kept, the aggregate is 15,375, making a total of 20,268. ‘These figures compare with a total of 2,606 for January, 1930, for the Lin- coln Memorial and 16,444 for the Wash- ington Monument. For February, 1930, the figures are: Lincoln Memorial, 4,024; Washington Monument, 19,491. LIQUOR CACHE RAIDED Vacant Garage Near Police Station Yields 100 Pints of Whisky.
