RAPID DEVELOPMENT AND oP.
PORTUNiTIES OFFERED.

After an absence of two years from
the city, a prominent railroad contrac
tor said to the editor 81 have beer
in great many countries and cities
in my life, but never in all my ex
perience have / seen such a tremend
GUS transformation as has taken place
in Bryan in the last two years. Its
wonderful growth is of a most sub.
stantial nature too. | have been over
the city quite extensively in the last
three days and find vast sections in
every direction covered with beauti-
full homes where it was entirely va
cant two years ago. l saw at least
twenty-five new homes in course of
construction today. That splendid ice
plant, power plant, Parkers lumber
plant, Myers Hardware block, the
Bryan Hotel all of those brick build
ings on South Main street, the Edge
building on East Moseley street, the
Palermo building on North Main street,
the MOTTO Bros. building, and nearly
every building on Main street either
new or remodeled. l could not realize
that this was the Bryan that left two
years ago."
Well, it's fact absolutely beyond
belief But there is a dynamic force
behind it, That force is the naturally
advantageous location, the hub of a
great rich, producing territory, all con-
tiguous to Bryan as it's market and
supply station. The force was con-
nected up by the wire Of a united citi-
zenship. The connections were all |
welded by complete confidence
cemented by actual demonstration and
result. With all the advantages and
influences working for Bryan, the fu-
ture can but be foretold by the results
thus far observed. Bryan will maintain
its commercial, industrial and civic
supremacy.
With the interurban reaching out
bringing new territory, rich in COM
merce and cotton, to our door, extend
ing the fertile land production, increas.
ing the already superior school facil-
tiles, building new industrial plants,
encouraging the farmer in diversified
ton, nothing can stop that great en-
CINE of progress from spreading its
prosperity over the entire city and
county.
The private irrigating plants in the {
vicinity of Bryan are source of rich
return in the shape of garden truck
the year round. One of these farms, /
only mile from the city, which has
been in operation for two years, has
afforded its owner an average net q
profit of over fifteen dollars daily on
only thirty acres. These truck farms
produce proftably strawberries, canta Il
loupes, watermelons, asparagus, beans,
peas, cabbage, sweet and Irish pota-
toes, beets, carrots, parsnips, Ber- s
muda onions, tomatoes, celery, pep
pers, cauliflower, artichokes, cucum-
bers, eggplant, radishes, lettuce, mus. g
tard, okra, parsley, spinach, rhubarb,
squash, and other vegetables for man
and beast. Actual records OF recent

ing a block or more whose frontage Is
used for business purposes.
There are now in Washington about
seventy portions OF streets which are
classified as business streets. All the
streets in the District Of Columbia that
are not designated are considered resi-
dence streets There is. however. no stat
utory provision in the District which re-
stricts the development Of business

The beneficial effect OF these restriC-
tions In the National Capital is obvious.

disturbed by unsiGhtly skyscrapers and

The covered platform in the rear of the
structure where the mail wagons will
load and unload is nearly completed, and
so is the stone bridge connecting the
building with the Union station adjoin-
ing. This bridge is of the inclosed type

post Office and the government printing
Office one square TO the north is com

and seven feet in height. 1t will be used
To- convey printed matter from the big
printing establishment TO the post Office,
and thence to the trains. \ large per-
centage of the thousands of government
documents sent out from Washington
each year will be handled in this way.
The tunnel also is to be used to carry

have been greater changes in the world'
he declared. Everybody seems to be do
ing things in a different way than has
been the custom. People have begun to
appreciate that the way to handle out
lying districts is to develop them in some
comprehensive manner, instead OF simply
dividing the land into small lots and SELL
Ing them. People do not seem to get the
value they expect. buying land in this
way, and all over the country the de-
veloper's idea now Is to take large tracts
OF land. lay them out in a comprehensive
way as whole and make them look like
a community of friendly spirits The
houses should be designed to go with one
another and not to clash in their appear
ance, as SO many of our suburban houses
do"

Months.

The erection of the new city post office
at the northeast corner of North Capitol

than in any other section Here a force
of men is engaged in covering the walls
with TaverneIle marble, imported to this

FIRM PROVIDES LECTURES
Realty Concern Instructs
Clients in House-PIanninq
and Construction.

Among the recent innovations estab.
llshed by prominent New York realty
concern is series of lectures on matters
pertaining to suburban building All diff
ferent styles of architecture, the various
methods of construction. such as wood
hollow tile and stucco. are fully explained
by experts in their respective lines, and
the difference in cost is fully and thor
oughly considered.
The architectural possibilities Of each
method are shown by means of plans and
diagrams and just what can be accom-
plished is fully demonstrated.
This idea has proven a big success. For
the uninitiated homeSeeker it solves a
problem of the utmost Importance, and in
formation of wonderful practical value
can be secured. The construction of a
suburban home has been always more or
less shrouded in mystery, and this idea Of
clearing the atmosphere was strongly in
mind when these lectures were started.
Those contemplating the erection Of a
suburban home are invited to bring their
plans and specifications to the realty
office, when the best mode of construction
can be determined. Many novel ideas as
to just what can be accomplished with
certain materials have been submitted,
and the result is a collection of designs
and floor plans seldom brought together.

FAULTY ARRANGEMENT
CAUSES MANY FAILURES
Chicago Manager Points Out
Mistakes in Planning
Hotels.

One of the principal reasons why so
many new hotels fail to make money dur
ing the first two or three years, and why
some of them are never big money max
ers, is because they are defectively plan
ned. according to the manager of one of
the large Chicago hotels.
He says the architect usually chosen to
design a fine hotel is the best to be had
in his locality. but probably he has never
planned a big hotel and is unfamiliar with
the practical needs of an operating COM
pany. He gets out plans for a magnificent
building, elegant restaurants and parlors,
a beautiful lobby, fine large rooms with
plenty Of private baths, and from appear
ances the plans look perfect. But when
the building is completed and an operat-
ing company takes possession IL is found
that good service cannot be given with
out making a lot of expensive changes.
and the guests who try the new hotel
become dissatisfied with the service and
go back to the hotels where they former
ly stopped.

Alterations Are Necessary.

II can name a dozen hotels built in the
last ten years" said the hotel manager,
(which have had to be altered to obtain
good service, and the changes have cost
from $4,000 to 500, ,OOO according to the
defects in the building, due to the fact
that the architect was inexperienced in
hotel designing"
Among some of the mistakes which the
hotel man has come in contact with in
the past ten years are these, but he says
they are but few of many:
Using over eighty feet of valuable street
frontage for the hotel bar when only the
lobby entrance of the bar was used.
Placing the main dining room facing an
alley, while the lobby, barroom and cigar
stand took up all the street frontage.
Placing bathrooms on the outside with
windows the same size as those in ad-
joining rooms. allowing only one window
for each of the latter.

LONDON. June IA demonstra-
ton, unparalleled in size since the

augurated, took place here to-day in
connection with the funeral Of Emily
Wilding Dawson, the Derby victim
and the first martyr Of the cause.
A funeral procession nearly a mile
long and containing nearly $4,000
women, according to the estimates Of

held.
Fifteen Bands in Cortege.
There were fifteen bands in the
procession. All the women wore
mourning and many carried banners
or flowers.

most peaceful suffragettes. Hundreds
Of foot and mounted police guarded
the route and soldiers were held ready
TO curb any outbreak
Scotland Yard delegated hundreds
Of foot and mounted police to guard
the route Of march and to accom-
pany the women to protect them from
offensive actions on the part OF the
spectators The women were warned
that they must choose route which

would abide by their original plans,

might.
Actual Boodshed Is Feared.

would lead to actual bloodshed

CITIZENS INSIST
On DEEP VICE
INQUIRY
Grand Jury to Go Into Charge
Again tuesday, Taking Up
DictOgraph Records.

It was practically certain Satur-
day the Grand Jury had determined
to investigate the vice and dicto-
graph charges when it met again
Tuesday.
Foreman L. H. Beck Saturday
morning said every mail brought him
numerous communications touching
on some phase of the vice or dicto-
graph question and that every oIfe
urged a thorough investigation. He
said if the routine cases could be dis
posed of, or put aside, the probe
would begin in earnest next week.
I'VE would have taken this matter
up long ago had it not been for the
criminal cases presented by the So,-
Hcitor," said Mr. Beck. When we
meet, and the witnesses in the
cases have been summoned, it
would be unjust not to dis
pose of the cases and let them
go. If the calendar is light next week
in all probability we will go into the
general investigation"
While names of witnesses have
been furnished in anonymous COM
munications, almost every person
who has testified before the Grand
Jury in it's investigation thus far has
furnished the names Of persons who
would testify to substantiate one or
the other side in the controversy,
Some Of the witnesses say they can
tell of the existence of wholesale vice,
while others state the conditions are
better in Atlanta than they have ever
been.
Colonel Thomas 3. Fielder, Mayor
James G. Woodward, Chief of Police
James L. Beavers and Detective Chief
Newport LanfOrd have each regis
tered a request with the Grand Jury
that the photograph incident and the
counter charges Of vice be investi-
gated
