FAvORS PARKS FOR OUTSKIRTS
COMMISSIONER MACFARLAND
WANTS CONGRESS TO ACT.
Purchase of Land Needed for Cen
tury Advocated by Him-Ap-
proves Petworth's Plea.

With the object OF extending the park
system to newer sections of the National
Capital Commissioner Macfarland this
morning declared that he was in favor
of prompt legislation by Congress au-
trict Commissioners a special commits
in the next century.
W. NJ. Cromwell, president. and +. w.
oyster Of the Petworth Citizens Asso-
citation called upon Commissioner Mac
farland this morning and asked his in
terest in the project for public park
in PetWorth the land for which, they
said. ought to be bought now, in order
to provide for the future.
Commissioner Macfarland heartily ia
vored a public park for that neighbor-
hood and also one for every other sec
ton of the suburbs, believing there
should be at least as many parks out
side of the old city limits as within.
Not a New Idea.
Commissioner Macfarland explained fur
ther that j he had been advocating for
several years comprehensive treatment of
this matter by one act of Congress. au-
thorizing the purchase of park lands
wherever needed throughout the District
of Columbia, either by the Commission
ers a special commission of which the
Commissioners should be members, and
under total limit of cost that would
enable the commission to get all the
lands necessary for all the future.
He said he believed that such a plan
would commend itself to Congress as a
businesslike method of dealing with the
subject, preferable to the presentation of
separate bills by the advocates of partic-
ular parks. which thus far had come to
nothing. and in some cases at least one
bill had killed off another. Congress
seemed to feel. he said. that it could not
deal with the matter satisfactorily
through separate bills.
MIR. Macfarland said the time had come
in his judgment. for systematic acqui-
sition of lands required for parks for the
next century and that they could be had
now, of course, for much less than in the
future. They need not all be bought at
one time but rather gradually. as good
bargains could be made through the
competition of different owners but they
ought to be acquired within a compare
lively few years.
Government Should Hold Title.
The commission ought to be given au-
thority to make expenditures for this
purpose. he declared. up to the limit of
from two to five million dollars. The
purchases should be made preferably as

national government matter out of the

national government matter out of the
national Treasury, just as the national
government owned the parks of the old
city although they were given to it by
the original proprietors.
But whatever form the details might
take, he believed that the provision
should be made for all parkland pur-
chases in one act. which should have the
united support of all the citizens asso-
Citations and of all the citizens Of the Dis
trict of Columbia. He said that the COM
mission authorized for the purpose would.
Of course, seek the advice of experts as
to where parks should be provided and as
TO their size and character and thus
work out harmonious system for the
suburban districts similar to that within
the old city limits.
He said the principles of the George
Washington plan for the parks of the city
of Washington ought to be applied to the
territory outside of the old city and that
this was what was recommended by the
Senate park commission.

Mr.. Russell resides at Fort Collins

"wHlskeY" DEFINED
Solicitor General Lloyd w. Bow
ers Gives Opinion on Legal Mean
Ing of the Term.

Washington, June 8. - Lloyd W..
Bowers, solicitor general of the Unit
ed States, Monday submitted to Presi
dent Taft his opinion as to what the
term whisky" means in law. He
holds, In effect, that the public does
not consider that added coloring
or flavoring matter can make whis-
ky out of what otherwise is not whis-
ky. Whisky is regarded generally
and naturally as having flavor and
properties OF its own.
whisky having been in all its
history extensively and variously col
ored and Favored by additions of ex-
traneous matter such coloring and
flavoring cannot be considered illegit-
innate or incompatible with the name
whisky" says the solicitor. "The
United States pure food law also pro-
vides in terms that the addition OF
harmless coloring or flavoring in
gradients used for the purpose Of
coloring and flavoring only, is con-
sistent with the term blend and
therefore, of course, may be done
without creating a compound article" +"
President Taft authorized that the
opinion of Solicitor Gen'l Bowers be
made public, but announced no opin-
ion himself because it was his desire
to hear further testimony taken from
what are known as straight whis-
ky distillers.
