BROWN DEFENDS
MEMORIAL PLAN
Secretary of American Institute Of
Architects Is Opposed to Pro-
posed Lincoln Highway.

That Representative Boreland's princl-
pal objection to the location Of the Lin
coin memorial-namely, the brewery and
other Industrial plants in the neighbor-
hood OF Potomac Park-will eventually
be removed is the belief of Glenn Brown,
secretary Of the American Institute OF
Architects. Mr.. Brown predicts that the
people of Washington will soon demand
OF Congress that that location be thor
oughly cleaned out and restored to them
for parking uses.
This prediction was made by Mr.. Brown
yesterday. At the same time he branded
Representative Boreland's statement rel
alive to the sentiments of the @. A. r.
against the memorial location as false,
and said that the movement for a high
way from Washington to Gettysburg had
been started and fostered by the auto
mobile interests OF the country solely
because II would provide a fine auto
speedway.
'In the first place" said Mr.. Brown,
'the 100000 would do no more than
build a good country road. II would take
at least 100000 to construct a monu-
mental highway to Gettysburg. When es-
Inmates were made several years ago for
a highway from Washington to Mount
Vernon the engineers decided on 5000, 00G
as the figure. and the distance to Mount
Vernon is only fifteen miles, while 1t is
eighty miles to Gettysburg
ut is misstatement to say that the
G. A. r. favors the highway over the
memorial plan. The G. A. r. at its last
convention I'm Los Angeles positively re-
futed that idea. and the sanction to the
roadway plan was given by about thirty
men after the convention had closed.
The section around Potomac Park is
the prettiest in the city. and I believe
that before long the people will demand
that IT be cleaned out and given back to
them.
THE roadway to Gettysburg would
mean that the memory OF Lincoln would
be perpetuated by roadway lined with
peanut stands, merry-go-rounds. ice
cream parlors, and disreputable places
unless the government purchased at lea at
a quarter OF a mile on both sides OF the
road"

that 1 was going down to run company
there.
Then the conspiracy was Matched.
Madeline's relatives believed she was
too delicate to go to British Honduras.
She told them she would go to the end
of the world as long as 1 wanted her
to go and she wouldn't consent to post
poning the ceremony. But her relatives
influenced half a dozen fellows who
know US both-good friends of mine all
right, but misguided in the head-and
the night Madeline and 1 were going 10
be married they got into my suite at
the Ansonia Hotel and took away the
ring and the license. 1 have never
found them.
I'VE could have been married without
the ring" said MIllward, but we could
not be married without the license"
The couple went to Washington, but
there plea from the young woman's
mother to the effect that her daughters
health would not permit her to go to
British Honduras interrupted the ro-
nance and sent young Mlllward on
