The heavily timbered section of this
first rise Of the heights of the Virginia
hills Is succeeded by a broad and breezy
plateau. where now some of the cult
waited fields are occupied by the homes of
people who live in Livingston Heights.
The houses have been built near the troll
ley line for the convenience of the COM
muters, and the enterprise of the promot-
ers Of the town site has provided an ar

Just beyond is Lyonhurst, with a road
bordered by good-looking country homes
and the attractive country house of Frank
Lyon in the distance. It is only a short
distance farther along to the clubhouse
in IA wide sweep of lawn and with view
able. The suburban influence of the city
goes beyond this point, as is sufficiently
indicated by the homes that are found at
Jewell, Franklin Park and other points
along the line and in some cases already
forming settlements. The trolley line
ends at Freat Falls. some fifteen miles
from the city. which gives some notion
Of the tendency Of growth in that direc-
ton.

What practically will be an addition
to the establishment of the National Elec

at 1928 New York avenue which has just
been purchased by that company, and

has a frontage of 90 feet. with an aver

HEADS OF DEPARTMENTS TO TALK
OVER MATTERS WITH COM
MIssIONERs.

Mem bers of the administrative board
Yesterday held an informal conference
with heads of the city departments.
Various matters were discussed, and in
a general way the light situation was
talked over.
The idea of the board is to place
lights in every hole and corner or
the city. The police department. has
asked for a large number OF such
lights, and the heads OF the gas and
electrical departments were directed to
supply these lights as soon as practic-
able There are probably more than
one hundred and nifty lights to be
placed at once.
Lights keep out crime said a
member of the board. THE police are
asking for lights IN many alleys and
side streets. where criminals are won't
to gather. Dark spots will be scarce,
II the departments are able TO supply
the demand"
Future dates were fixed for confer
enees with heads of the various de-
partments. ON next Saturday the
board will confer with Superintendents
Knowles and Traffor.i, concerning the
light departments. on Tuesday after
noon at $50 o'clock superintendent
Cohn will appear before the board to
present statement concerning the
condition of his department.
Following the conference next Satur-
day. on successive Saturdays other de-
partments will be heard In this order ::

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Demo-

agreed that no bill having reference
to the Sherman antitrust law shall
receive consideration during the re-

extending over the past year, and will
make such recommendations along
general lines as the fun committee
may be able to agree upon. Beyond
that it will not go.
Whatever action the committee will
take after the senate is reorganized
depends upon the views of President
Wilson. His views on the trust ques-
ton are yet unknown to members OF
the committee. Senator Newlands. OF
Nevada, 81 Progressive, will be chair
man of the committee under the same
reorganization by the Democrats.
