COL. HANDLES PLAN

1t is learned that Col Arthur r.
Randle is negotiating 10 lease the Alex-

Ohio railroad. Should the matter be
settled tisfactorily, it is intended to
extend the line of the East Washington
Heights traction railroad, which crosses
the Baltimore and Ohio branch on
Pennsylvania avenue, near Randle High
lands. over that line. This would make
connection with the Firth-Sterling
steel works, and would make a new con-
Meeting link between the Capital Trac-
ton and Renning. and would also give
Anacostia a new road into the city.
Colonel Randle was unwilling to he

EPOCH OF CONCRETE
RAPIDLY APPROACHES

We are rapidly. approaching the age
of concrete. The life of the forests is
limited. Another generation and the
iTon-ore fields in the Lake Superior re-
gion will be virtually exhausted.
Already Europe has met the timber
famine and the high price of steel and
iron by building its cities Of concrete.
The modern parts Of Milan. Berlin. Blu
dapest. and other cities growing at a
tremendous rate are being constructed
of concrete.
One Of the finest bridges in the United
States has just been completed at great
cost across the Rock creek ravine here
There is not a bit Of iron In the whole
gigantic structure. It was constructed
OF concrete blocks, and these were made
out OF gravel gathered from the bed of
the gorge.
The Importance Of the use of concrete
Is that the supply is inexheustible, and
many contractors are Convinced that
this manufactured stone will prove as
durable as granite
The practicability of substituting this
artificial stone for steel and wood IS
Sufficiently reassuring so far as tbr
problem of the future housing OF man
kind is considered. 1t does not minimize
the danger OF destroying the forest ~,
the watersheds. The crusade for tn.
preservation Of these woods that former

CRY ABOUT OVERBUILDING
UNJUSTIFIED BY OUTLOOK.
SAYS JAMES J. HAMPTON

Are we overbuilding!" This is a
question that has been yariously stated
and frequently replied TO. Those who
are pessimistic and are always inclined
70 believe that the limit OF our pros
perity has been reached are prone to
answer in the affirmative. while those
who have watched the growth OF Wash
ngton and noted the many changes
that have come TO the Capital City are
firmly of the opinion that the era OF
our prosperity has just set in and that
the future has even greater triumphs in
store than ever.

COURT DECISIONS
 CIVIL AND CRIMINAL Lathrop Divorce Case Trans ferred from Waterbury
 Court. FOR MANSLAUGHTER Burglars Left Large Booty -Wm. Keahrle Leaves
 $6O, 900.
FOR MANsLAUGHTER

The divorce case of Elizabeth L. La throp against Edwin U. Lathrop, both of Waterbury, has been transferred from the Waterbury docket of the su- preme court to the New Haven docket.
 The differences between the Lathrops have furnished a good deal of gossip for three years, and constant litigation. It is one of the ramifications of the casegwhich reached out and resulted in the, disbarment of Attorney H. R. Du- rant, who was a friend of Mrs. Lathrop, and it was alleged, one of her counsel.
 Mrs. Lathrop first sued her husband for support and afterward for divorce. The divorce suit was returned to the Waterbury court in September 1906, subsequently, it was placed in the ex- parte list as no answer had been filed as ordered by the court,
 In her suit Mrs. Lathrop states that she married Edwin U. Lathrop on No vember 26, 1890. She alleges desertion as grounds for divorce It is also al- legged that MT Lathrop is worth s1OO,- 900 and substantial aliinony is claimed.
 o'Neil, o'Neil and o'Neil of Water bury are counsel for the plaintiff and Burpee and Carmody appear for the defendant.

Lively Probate Hearing.

There was lively hearing before Judge Studley in the Probate court yesterday when application was made by Burton G. Andrew, oneof the admin Iistrators of the estate of the late eBt- sey G. Andrew of Orange, to sell part of the estate. as there was no funds to pay the debts. Burton c. and Leon ard F., both sons of the deceased, were named as executors in her will, and Burton c. Andrew is left the majority of the estate.
 Attorney Goodhart, counsel for Bur ton c. Andrews wife, appeared and told the court that he had brought suit against him to secure divorce for Mrs. Andrew. and had attached his property. Attorney Goodhart had op- posed the application on the grounds that Mrs. Andrew had asked for ali- mony and that Andrew desired to get this property into cash. Several other attorneys who have suits against An drews also objected, and it was claim ed that he already owed his mothers estate some $S,50o. The estate amounts to about $4,000.
 Judge Studley granted an order to sell twelve acres in Orange in order to get money to pay some of the debts.
