SO much satisfaction to his managing

PLANS FOR MAKING
CAPITAL HORSE MARKET
Melvin c. Hazen Has Scheme to
Hold Sales Here
Regularly.

Melvin {. HaZen. surveyor for the Dis
triCt who has been made manager OF
the years National Capital Horse Show
which is to be held May ;, ). 6, and Z
plans to make Washington the center
Of the American thoroughbred horse
trade.
In connection with his plans iur the
coming show. which he intends shall be
the largest and most representative horse
show ever held in the Capital. Mr.. Hasen
Is working on plans for making the Capt.
tai the center on which will focus the
showing and selling of the nations Dest
horsefleSh.
His plan is to make Washington a
continual strong market for blooded
horses, in which dealers OF the North,
South. and West will gather TO sec and
buy the best of the country's stock which
is in the market. 1t is further planned
to hold markets for thoroughbreds IN the
Capital at short intervals, monthly sales.
or even bimonthly. Mr.. Hazen has not
fully developed his plans yet. but ne
feels that the center of the nations
blooded horse trade can well be cstab-
lished in the Capital.
Along this line he has arranged that
an auction of such OF the horses shown
as are for sale shall be held on the Ia It
day of the show, under the auspices Of
the show. Here the horses will he led
out, put through their PAGES. and sold
to the highest bidders by the auctioncer.
Mr. Hazcns plans will have been def
nitely decided upon by the opening OF
the show, and announcement probably
will be made Of the methods by which
a permanent market of thoroughbI eG
horses is to be established in the Capital

PLANS FOR ALASKA.
Senator Pittman Would Lease the
Coal Fields.

Government ownership and operation
of railroads in Alaska, combined with
private lease and development of the
coal fields there. is the plan advanced
yesterday by Senator Pittman. Chairman
of the Senate Territories Committee.
Government operation of railroads. Sena- =
tor Pittman declared. is required to pre-
vent monopolization and to safeguard
competition in the working of the nd:u-
raj resources of the Territory
THE development of Alaska would be
facilitated he said. IF the government
undertakes TO build and operate the rail-
roads. 1t will be much easier to pre-
vent overcharses and discrimination in
rates if that is done. The natural r.
sources should be developed by individual
rather than government enterprise. be-
cause the former y method encourages
prospecting, benefits the residents of the
Territory who have spent years there,
and avoids the dangers of paternalism
These impressions NAV be modified by
further consideration with the commit
tee. We are receiving a great variety of
suggestions, and will doubtless hear from
men OF widely differing points of view"

THE FEAST OF LOTS
Special Services to Be Held in Syna.
sogues by Reading Book
of Either.

Special services will be held in all OF
the Jewish synagogues today in cele-
bration of Purim, the feast of Lots. a
half holiday in the Jewish calendar. The
synagogaI service for this festival is
limited to reading Of the Book of Esther,
upon which the story Is based.
Purim Is more a social festival than q
religious one. Rabbi Simon will lecture
this morning to the members Of the
Sunday school of the Eighth Street
Temple on the Book Of Ruth" On
Tuesday night the closing Of the festival
will be celebrated by a dance and en-
tertainment complimentary to the chill
dren of the Sunday school at the Arcade.
Purim il a time of general festivity
among the Jews. and like most Jewish
festivals Is a time for giving gifts to
the poor. Purim celebrates the victory
of Mordecai. the faithful Jew. over
Haman. the grand vizer of the King
Ahasuerus. who plotted to destroy the
Jew. Queen Esther had been elevated
TO the throne to succeed Vashti, who had
displeased the king.
