Senator Mark Smith of Arizona has
shown defiance of that ancient, and hon
orable rule of the United States Senate

recognition.

BANNERS OVER STREETS
DECLARED A MENACE
Matter Brought Before Board
of Directors of the Cham
Der of Commerce.

The stretching Of political banners over
the streets of Washington is a menace to
life and property, according to a state
ment made by Joseph Strasburger at a
meeting Of the board of directors Of the
Chamber of Commerce last night. Mr..
Strasburger referred to the fact that
Tuesday night banner was blown down
in F street and smashed the plate glass
show window of store Had the ban
ner fallen on any one, serious injury
would have been done undoubtedly, said
Mr.. Strasburger. He urged the board to
enter a protest to the Commissioners
against this practice.
II. c. G. Stiles suggested that this was
a matter which should be passed upon by
the whole chamber rather than the di-
rectors, and in this he was sustained by
President Oyster. Mr.. Strasburger gave
notice that he would call it up at the
meeting of the chamber next week.
Proposed Highway to Richmond.
The board authorized President Oyster
to appoint committee to look into the
advisability of the chambers taking a
hand in the formation of the proposed
Richmond to- Washington Memorial High
way Corporation, which was strongly ad-
vocated by delegation from Richmond
that came here to lay it's plans before
the Washington business men.
The president was authorized also to
appoint committee Of five to act with
a committee from the Board of Trade in
urging merchants to have their places of
business decorated during the week of
the unwilling Of the Columbus memorial
statue, when about $1,000 visitors are eX-
pected in the city.
