Urged Her to Wed
To Share His Wealth

LEESBURG, Va. June G.-Members
OF Miss Rogers family decline TO dis
cuss her disappearance.
Everyone in the village has known OF
the attentions of Willoughby n. Smith,
of Baltimore, to Miss Rogers. He has
made frequent visits here in the years
that Miss Rogers has been H.
Her condition often showed improves
ment during this period, but when It
was believed she was almost fully re-
covered she<w would suffer a relapse.
With continued i'll health her nervous
system collapsed and her mind became
slightly affected.
She spent a short time about one year
ago in sanitaritlm IN Washington and
that time she has gradually grown
worse.
Finally 1t was decided that she must
have absolute quiet and rest. and her
relatives consented that Mr.. Smith and
a nurse should accompany her to Sar-
anac Lake.
Friends of the Rogers family say that
Smith was the accepted slitor OF Miss
Rogers, and that their wedding date
had frequently been set but that each
time It was postponed by Miss Rogers.
until her health was completely re-
stored.
During Miss Rogers most serious in-
nesses Mr. Smith would close his offices
I'll Baltimore and spend weeks at a time
a her bedside. He urged that she mar
ry him at once so that his wealth might
be used In her behalf.

building of the pyramids alone.
1t is too early to judge the situation
on the isthmus and in the ranks of

Shall the canal be built with locks or

Rich Paris Poor Washington


For the adornment of
Paris UP to 1915. ....... $3.50, ,2o0, 900
For the adornment of
Washington up to f945.. 000, ,000. 900
In these terse figures the American
Institute of Architects reveals the
security of Paris and the danger OF
Washington. The French have safe
guarded the development OF their
capital by aliotting more than $685.
100000 to be spent in the coarse Of
the ensuing forty years on such units
of city ornament as new avenues and
new bridges. The Americans have
safeguarded nothing by allotting
nothing.
Architecture is rising these days to
the position of public leadership 1t
should have held in America from the
organization OF the hrst government.
With this rise American architects
are assuming unostentatiously the
directorship OF public adornment. It
may be, then, that The showing of
these figures in publication design
ed especially for architects shall
prove the best means of advancing
the American Capital
But the American way is to appeal
to the citizen. And of all citizens
who should be interested in this sub
jeet those of the District are the
first. Yet:
How many Washingtonians have
really definite idea OF the L'Enfant
plan of the American Capital?
How many Washingtonians really
understand the Park Commission
plans for the fulfllment of the LEN
FAINT design?
How many Washingtonians have
taken single step to impress their
interest in these plans upon their
fellow-citizens, the members of Con-
gress?
The most personal selfshness and
the most patriotic pride both urge
the people of the District-you who
read these columns and We who fill
thenl-to uphold the future of Wash
ington with might and main. Are
we doing it? Not by whole lot. If
we were every member of both houses
Of Congress would feel the force of
this contrast the American Institute
Of Architects has set forth
