he bought the frontage for three blocks on
each side Of the avenue in the neighbor-
hood of his own house and from time to
time has erected beautiful homes costing
from $4,000 to $4,000 each, which he has
leased to his friends. He still owns all this
property, and in that way has been able to
select his neighbors and insure the main
tenance Of that section in first-class order.
Those blocks perhaps more attractive
and are kept in better condition than any
other part of the residence section, thereby
setting an example and furnishing an in

"a characteristic method Of Mr.. Cole was
the manner in which he handled 4O0-acre
tract Of land. called Lester Park. 1t was
really the last large tract of land available
for park purposes within the city limits
but the municipal treasury was not in a
condition at that time to indulge in such a
luxury. Mr. Cole was approached, and
while he. no doubt had many other uses for
his funds. he agreed to buy the tract and
carry it until the city government was
able to take 1t off his hands at the price he
paid for 1t. He was the only man in Du-
spirit to do patriotic act like that, but he
is always ready to back any enterprise
worthy with his name and his money. He
has taken shares in nearly every new enter
prise that was worthy of recognition. He
is our most liberal contributor to benevo-
lent objects. He subscribed $4,000 last
year for new Y M. c. A building, and
this year subscribed a similar amount for
building for the Young Womens Chris

Some dizzy rah-rah got up large yellow
and green poster. which placarded all
over the scenery in the vicinity of George
Washington University yesterday.
Here it is as addressed to the poor fresh
les:
Your measly, cantankerous infantile
apologies, whose parents have consigned
you to the tender mercies of the glorious
class of 1910, you, we repeat, scarcely grad
uated from kits and curls, forever attempt
ing to ride your inseparable ponies, pre-
pare to bow down and worship the source
of your existence in this college-those
shining stars SO far above you-you d-n
measly pups, that the reflection of their
light cannot penetrate your hardened
numskulls. You are green. so green the
fuzz is yet clinging to your ears; realize.
nuts. that you do not exist and read care
fully these warnings conveyed to you by
the mighty hand of the KUKLOS."
That's enough of the placard. As much
more language is devoted to warning the
freshie how to behave. He Is told among
other things, not to flirt with Lady Nico-
tine, to keep his think tank bare except

speech along similar lines was made by
Frank p. Walsh of Missouri. Both the old
parties represented the money power he
said.
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa. who used to be
a democratic national committeeman, but
has been working in the cause of Hearst
for some years, proposed that two commit
tees be appointed. one to draw up plan of
national organization and the other to pre-
pare declaration of principles. This was
decided upon. The committee on plan,
which will form the nucleus of a national
committee. as appointed by Mr.. Hearst con-
sisted of Walsh of Iowa, Fagood of Massa-
chusetts, Nathan Vidaver of New York
Nelson of Illinois. Smith Of New Jersey and
Scarborough of Texas. This committee is
to be added to until 1t includes member
for each state.
No Mention of Bryan.
The committee on the declaration of prin-
clpleS, winch was headed by Clarence
Shearn, drew up form of address similar
to that issued at the beginning of other
Hearst campaigns 1t was decided, how
ever. to make some changes in this, and 1t
will be issued next week.
There was no mention of Mr.. Bryan as a
possible candidate. Most of the delegates
who were interviewed said that Mr.. Bryan
would not do at all for the league.
AS for Mr.. Hearst, they said there was
in which he could dodge "a nonina
ton by the new party. once 1t got going
Some of them said that they had had pri-
vate talks with Mr. Hearst In which he had
said that he did not want to be a candidate,
but that there was no way out of 1t for
him.
"One thing is certain" said one of the
delegates, land that is that there will be
no more fusion. We will name our own
candidates and stick by them. The other
parties can indorse them l. they want to.
The coming national campaign will see the
Independence League as third party with
Its own ticket and platform that won't be
borrowed from anybody"

Want Asphalt Paving.

The property owners and residents on P
street west of Dupont Circle are urging
the Commissioners TO remove the granite
blocks on that street and pave the surface
with asphalt. This Improvement has been
sought for six years. it is stated. and last
year in answer to their request they were
told by the Commissioners that Congress
has prohibited the paving with asphalt
any street already paved with Belgian block
or granite.
A. K Paris of 1922 P street. in a letter
to the Commissioners, in which he said he
voiced the sentiments of more than 100
property owners, declared that he cannot
understand why the streets around the
new Congressional office buildings can be

paved with Belgian block. "Our comfort
Is material and our blocks can be used as

WILL SCORN OLD PARTIES
INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE TO GO 1T
ALONE.
With Hearst as Chairman of Its Ma
tional Communicable Says He
Won't Head the Ticket.

NEW YORK, September 2s.-At a series
of conferences in Carnegie Hall yesterday
among William X. Hearst and his friends,
who were said to represent thirty-nine
states it was decided to form national
party out OF the Independence League and
with its own ticket and platform to wage a
campaign for the presidency next year.
With this in view the formation of a ma
tionaI committee was undertaken yester-
day, Mr.. Hearst is to be the chairman.
All mention OF Mr.. Hearst as the candi-
date of the Independence League in the
presidential campaign was studiously
avoided. Mr.. Hearst himself made a speech
In which he reiterated his announcement
that he was not candidate. Yet the men
who were at this conference said privately
that under the circumstances there could
BE- and would be only one possible candi-
dat and standard bearer for such a third
party and that would be Mr.. Hearst.
No More Alliances.
Although the meetings yesterday were
supposed to have TO do exclusively with
Che national situation. the future OF the
Independence League as 1t exists in several
states where Mr.. Hearst has his news
papers was generally discussed For one
'shing it was decided that hereafter the
league will have nothing to do with the
two older parties There VIII be no in
GOTSemGut or Other Candidates by the
league in this state in the coming cam
paign. 1t was said, and this will apply to
tire local campaign as well.
In pursuance of this policy there will be
nominated at the state convention which
the league is to hold today at Carnegie
Hall It's own ticket for the court OF APP
peals. one of the two men To be named,
Il said. would be Reuben X. Lyon of
Bath. The name of the other man was
being kept in the dark last night. Some of
the Hearst men said his name would cause
q surprise. John T. McDonough has been
mentioned as one Of the two men the con-
yention would nominate. He Is q repub-
licau.
There were about 200 men at the corf-
ference OF the Hearst men at Carnegie
Hall which was held behind closed doors
Mr.. Hearst was made chairman at the
start. Then q lot OF those present made
speeches. The keynote OF these seemed to
be that the time was ripe for II third party
movement and that with an Independence
League movement already In several states
there was need of some central body like
national committee.
Strength of the League.
8 Melvin G. Pallser said that the last cam
paign in this state not a democratic
campaign. but an Independent League
i. campaign; that the votes under the scales
had been classified. showing that 2OO, 900
votes had been so cast and that that repre-
scented an active organization in this state.

that the league in that state would nomi-
nate ticket OF its own and expected to
