Would Not Halt Work.

The use OF the rortunda would not in
terrupt work in the building, as has been
the case whenever the pension building
was used. The selection of the pension
building had no sentiment. 1t was the
only available building large enough to
hold q crowd. The rotunda. with it's
artistic wealth, is the property Of the ma
ton and, therefore, should be used when
1t Is the nation that Is being entertained.
1.-THE people of Washington will recall
two occasions when the rotunda was the
scene Of social gatherings. The first was
for Martha Washington tea and the Sec
Ond event a bazaar to start fund for
building a Garfield Memorial Hospital
IF the rOtunda could be used for such
purposes, how much more appropriate it
would be to use it for the highest social
function in the official life of the govern
ment.'

ing San Francisco's right to use the
Hetch Hetchy valley in Yosemite Nation
ali Park as a reservoir for its water
supply system.
The hearing in which the advisory
board of army engin GERS sat with Secre-
tary Fisher was based upon Secretary
BaIlinger order of almost three years
ago directing San francisco officials to
show cause why Secretary Garflelds per-
nit of 1908 should nos be revoked. The
Garfield permit was based on stipulations
to be agreed to by the city. that 1t
would first develop the Lake Eleanor
water supply before beginning in the
Hetch Hetchy valley

To the question of scenic preservation

ginning of the hearing by President Nc

ton, Secretary Fisher replied that there
was "a very natural feeling that the
camel ought not to be allowed to- put his
head in the tent"
Points at Issue.
Secretary Fisher defined the points at
issue as: Whether San Francisco had
another practicable source of water sup
ply: and whether. through giving the
use of the Hetch Hetchy valley, the gov
eminent would ultimately be compelled
TO give up other portions Of the Yosemite
National Park to protect the water sup
ply from contamination
City Attorney Long of San Francisco
declared the project would not interfere
with the scenic value of the park nor
with tourist privileges. Mayor Rolph and
others said the project would furnish
the water for all the communities on both
sides of San Francisco bay without spoil
ing the beauty of the national park

FOR J. BARTON MILLER
Takes the Stand at Trial After
Prosecution Closes
Its Case.

G. Donald Miller testified this after
noon in Criminal Court No. before
Justice Gould and a jury In defense of
his brother, John Barton Miller. former
secretary treasurer of the defunct First
Cooperative Building Association of
Georgetown, who is being tried on
charges of embezzling funds and destroy
ing the books of the association.
United State Attorney Wilson and AS
sistant United States Attorney Proctor
closed the case for the prosecution at the
noon recess. and. without outlinging a
defense, Attorneys Henry E. Davis and
John E. Laskey proceeded to offer testi-
mony in favor of Miller. The evidence
for the defense will occupy the attention
of the court all day Tuesday. The case
will go to the jury by Wednesday after
noon.
g. Donald Miller was the first witness
offered by the defense. He testified as
to the method of keeping books by the
association and told of the custom long In
vogue there of cashing checks out of the
money drawer in the office and AFTER
ward depositing the checks as cash. Thls
latter, the defense claims. accounts for
the failure Of the deposit slips to show
deSpOSit of the exact sums realized from
settlements of loans.
DetenSe'S mOC1On OeQ1eO.
The defense moved an acquittal on the
charge of destroying the books. claiming
that no evidence had been adduced by
the prosecution to sustain the charge. The
testimony left the matter as an inference
only that the defendant had Cancelled the
books, Mr.. Davis urged. The government
opposed the motion. which was denied.
Attorney William +. Ambrose, receiver
of the association, and his counsel, At
iorney ]. S. Easby-Smith. testified Tor the
government this morning. Mr.. Ambrose
told of the records which came into his
hands as received, which consisted of a
cash book found in the office when the
receiver was appointed.
Mr. Easoy-Smith said no securities
were found in the Office of the assocta-
ton, although the last annual report Of
Miller as treasurer showed assets OF
$4,000.
Mr. Easby-Smith stated he expected to
find bonds or notes representing the debts
due the association from borrowers, but
found none. A search of the land records
deeds of trust securing loans made by
the association was conducted by him,
the witness said. In this manner, sew
eral debts were discovered unpaid and
unreleased. Some Of these had been set
tied and not released and others were
collected.
The first report of the receiver in 1909
showed a collection of about $4,000 Of
the assets. Other payments have been
made to the receiver on loans. the wit
ness stated. but was not prepared to tell
the total assets so far collected.
On cross-examination witness said the
advances shown in the unreleased loans
found by him total 95,3OO The total Of
bonds secured hereunder. he said, would
have been twice that amount.

IN CAPITOL, He SUGGESTS
James D. Preston Would
Utilize Rotunda and Stat

That the rotunda and statuary halls OF
the United States Capitol be used for the
inaugural ball in connection with the
swearing in of Woodrow Wilson as Presi-
dent, March next, is a suggestion made
to several members of Congress today by
James D. Preston. superintendent of the
Senate press gallery.
Those who heard of the plan considered
it too radical to discuss for publication al
once. but agreed it was worthy of care
full consideration.
1T seems queer that it has never ap-
pealed to the public that the rotunda OF
the Capitol was the logical and absolutely
proper place for the inaugut al ball." said
Mr.. Preston today. in outlining the plan
IF the question of expense alone were
considered, the public would not have the
right to complain, because it can imme-
diately be seen that the outlay of money
and labor would be less here than in
any other place where such a ball has
heretofore been held.
