THEY "GOT TOGETHER,
Advertising Men Enjoy Feast at
Villa Flora Club House.

At the Villa Flora Club house last evening
the advertising men of Washington enjoy
a banquet. Men who disport the wares of
manufacturers and business houses for the
delectation of the readers of the daily news
papers, or who perchance evolve the gro
tesque figures and workings that are seen
on the billboards of the city got togeth-
err They forgot competition for the time
being and mingled in absolute harmony and
happiness.
There was shop talk galore-but it was
of the humorous phase. The man who dis
sertates on clothing insisted that his col
league who plugs for soap or the latest
panacea for Group was not in it, while the
author of the proposition was combatted
for all there is out
Among those who attended the feast war,,
Mr.. George Lewis, advertising manager for
Saks & Co; Mr.. w. G. Kent, advertising
manager for the Palais Royal; Messrs
Louis Darrell C. c. Archibald and R. W.
Cox of the l.. p. Darrell advertising
agency; Mr. Arthur D. Marks advertising
manager for The Times; Mr. George P. Mil
Ter of the Miller advertising bureau; Mr.
5. Hart, advertising manager for Lans-
burgh & Bro; Mr.. Charles l.. Finney, ad-
Vertising manager for the Goldenberg
stores, and Mr.. w. L. Tenney.
Speeches. wit and goodfellowshiD were the
Characteristic features of the evening.
1t was readily seen that the men who COM
posed the gathering could do better work
with their pencils than with their voices
Jokes were told; there were knocks" but
not of the character to mar the happiness
of the evening.

HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Alice Arthur Said She Found q Roll of
Bills,

After having preliminary hearing in
the Police Court today on a charge of grand
larceny Alice Arthur, colored, was held for
the action Of the grand jury under bonds
of $500.
Alice was walking through Vests alley
one evening last week and happened to be
the finder of a roll of bills amounting to
$50, and because she kept it a secret she
was arrested by Detectives Father, Par
ham and Tyser. who had learned that Alice
had bought herself an outfit of summer
clothing besides making a friend a present
of a IS bill. When Alice was first arrested
she denied that she had found any money.
but finally she decided that honesty was
the best policy and admitted that she found
a roll of bills. but did not know the amount.
She gave the officers $176, saying that was
what she had left.
E. G. Kehlert 1912 9th street northwest
appeared in the Police Court today and told
Judge Kimball that he lost the money in
the alley the day it was found by Alice
and that he had acquainted a number of
persons in the alley of his loss
Alice claimed that she never heard any
thing about the money, and after keeping
it two or three days made the purchases
The court thought the grand jury ought to
decide the question raised by Attorney
Jones. counsel for the woman, as to intent
Of appropriating the money to her own use
and held her for that body.

SYSTEM OF CoNDUITs
PLANS OF THE c. AND p. TELE-
PHONE COMPANY.
Preparing to Comply With Law Re-
quiring Wires to Be Put
Underground.

The District Commissioners have receiv-
ed word from the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company that work is progress
ing rapidly on the plans for a system of
conduits to comply with the law approved
the 10th instant, providing for the placing
of all telephone wires under ground within
limits described in the act. This section
covers practically the entire northwest ter
ritory of the city proper, including Wash
ington and Columbia Heights. This is the
territory in which the greatest number of
telephones Is located, and where naturally
the greatest number of wires exists. The
law requires the work to be done as ex-
peditiously as possible, and the Commits
sioners will press the matter.
The company Is also preparing list of
places where it desires to run overhead
wires to remain in position during the time
the condufts are under construction. The
company has stated to the Commissioners
there are 200 persons who have desired to
have telephone service, but who have baen
deprived of it on account of the laws
against Stringing wires. The conduit act
permits the stringing of wires during the
time the work of underground construc
ton is in progress, and through this pro =
vision the company intends to connect the
various premises at once, or as soon as the
commissioners approve the plans.
Mr.. Mcfarland, who has supervision of
INC eiectlIcdi department, says lie hopes
to have the plans Of the telephone COM
pany before the board of Commissioners
within weeks time The electrical de-
partment of the District is meantime dra w-
ing up plans for placing the District lire
and police wires under ground, as the tete-
phone company is required to furnish con-
duit space to the District free of charge.
The telephone company has agreed to
the request of Commissioner Mcfarland
that conduit up 18th street be the first
built. Then will follow a cross-town corr
duit on r street and later second north
and south one the lengths of 18th street
The 18th street ducts will supply Column
bia Heights with phones.
