THOUSANDS STORM
C|TY'S Y'SRESTAURANTS
Eating and Drinking Places
Do Land Office Business
Among Visiting Throng.

Two hundred thousand hungry
folks, far from their usual eating
places. are in Washington this week.
This means that Wasnington's eating
places are crowded to the limit, and
are working overtime-and inciden-
tally reaping a harvest.
The big hotel restaurants are
crowded to capacity. Their dining
room and kitchen forces are increased
three or fourfold to meet the de-
miands. In the smaller restaurants
and cafes, where tables are usually
provided, these are taken out and
the guests are getting their meals
on the catch-as-catch-can basis. And
it will be land office business until
Thursday at least.
For those fortunate enough to have
relatives or friends here, the problem
is solved. Such guests need not
worry about the source of the next
meal-the price wherewith to pay
for 1t.

in charge.
Another feature of the feeding ar
rangements for the week is the plan OF
the District temperance organizations to
distribute free coffee to marchers In
the inaugural parade. This is to pre-
vent them from indulging in any alco-
holic stimulant while waiting for the
parade to form tomorrow morning
Women of the w. c. 7. u, will be in
charge of the distribution.
Along the streets, sandwich and not
dog men will vend their steamins
wares.
Every quick lurch in the city has laid
in an enormous supply of wheat and
Duckwheat. also sausages, for the
hordes of hungry visitors. Wheat cakes
and sausage form regular staple II
diet in the Washington ham-and-egg-
cries. Visitors with a penchant for
these typical country dishes will find
that Washington has not been lax In
her preparations.
Saloons Prove Popular.
In the places where the doors swing
easily each way the white coated men
behind the bars are more numerous
than on other days. II inauguration

HORSE MARKET OF
CAPITAL CORNERED
Chairman Harper Secured Early
Options on Mounts for the
Inaugural Parade.

The horse market in Washington
Alexandria, Va. and other nearby
places was cornered for the use Of In
augural parade riders. The man re-
sponsible for the corner was Chairman
R N. Harper. Of the civic organizations
committee. Early In the preparations
for the Inauguration. he declared thai
mouts must be cheaper than In previous
horses cornered by himself rather than
to await the speculation Of the horse
traders.
with one or two trusted agents and
a veterinarian. Mr.. Harper secured the
city and the suburbs to get all the suit
able mounts. He managed to get sew
eral hundred horses which would pas
the tests. All were good ones. but q
few were extra fine. These were saved
out for governors and their stafSs.
Saved Riders Experience.
By his early corner ON the market.
Mr.. Harper saved all Of the riders an
expense Of 80 or SIS. Then he hit upon
the plan Of obtaining saddles and
brides from the War Department. This
branch of the Government loaned him
200 equipments which were turned over
to WASHINGTON riders and others at q
nominal sum.
Mr.. Harper's foresight IN this direc-
tion characterised his entire work for
the celebration. His task was perhaps
the most difficult Of any of the inau-
gural committee members. He could
only request that civic bodies enter the
parade. The military leaders,. Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood. Lieutenant Colonel Al
len, and Lieutenant Lee could command
the troops and sailors to participate.
They could likewise command them to
stand as long today waiting for parade
formation as they desired Mr.. Harper
had to take the chance Of desertions
from the civic branches at the eleventh
hour.

For two weeks past. his duties have
kept him busy all day and late into the
night. This organization of the civic
divisions INTO the best section ever seen
here was undertaken by Mr.. Harper
in addition to his duties as president Of
the District National Bank
He has been known as the "chief i've

out such a reputation.

"The Best Suburb of the National Capita"
A Community Representing
a High Order of Citizenship

THE population of Chevy Chase is made up
L of high grade business and professional
men-the kind of men you want as your
neiohbors. The car service is second to none
in the world-the Capital Traction Company
standing ready to increase the service when
ever the growth of the section demands it.
Reasonable building restrictions have been
established with the result that nothing but
high grade houses are found anywhere in the
section.
Very shortly Nature will be at her best.
To appreciate the beauties of Chevy Chase,
you simply must see it.
Special prices will be made to purchasers
who make deposits during the month OF March,
In addition any purchaser who desires to build
will receive the assistance of this office in

gural date before the next President IN
inducted into office.
This subject has been under discussion
more or less seriously for many years.
and the sentiment In favor Of later
date has been particularly striking
since the memorable blizzard with which
the Taft Inauguration was accompanies

guration day for many years back has

The suggestion il made In many quar-.
tiers that the actual business Of the
Government should begin az at present
ON March 4, when the new President
could be sworn In without elabcrste
ceremony, but that in April or early
May the usual round of events should

A Section Comprising
Homes of Distinct individuality

\ SECTION that is built up entirely by one
n builder under the supervision of one
architect, is bound to have sameness of arch
itectural lines. No matter how versatile man
may be-either artist or artisan-his work is
sure to bear certain distinguishing marks. In
Chevy Chase. this condition is not found.
Practically every home was built under the
personal supervision of the owner and bears
the touch of that owners individuality.
The purchaser in Chevy Chase does not
have to take prophecy as to what he is going
to get, because the kind of development is
already fixed. Every convenience of the city
is installed and every lot is made usable before
it is offered for SALE In all of the Chevy Chase
Land Company's properties nothing but de-
tached houses are built, thus insuring sunlight
and air. Broad frontages and beautiful lawns
are everywhere.

Enjoys the Advantages of
Enforced, Normal Growth

DACK of every successful venture is defin-
ite plan. This is true Of Chevy Chase.
More than twenty years ago, it was believed
that there was a demand for high grade
suburb, designed primarily for the home owner.
Chevy Chase has been, is, and always will be,
essentially a section for home owners. The
speculator is not encouraged. The man who
intends to use his lot as site for his own home
is given every assistance.
That this plan is a wise one needs no
argument. Chevy Chase, as it is today, is
proof positive of the wisdom of such Course.-
As result of this plan, Chevy Chase has ai
an unforced and normal growth. Only as an
actual demand exists for lots as home sites is
a new section placed on the market.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Oondemnation
of activities of state insurance commis-
sioners in the internal affairs of fra
ternal insurance orders was expressed
in resolutions adopted here today by
the executive board of the National
Fraternal congress.
The action resulted from the charge
of the fraternal order OF Foresters Of

had demanded q change in plans for e
special assessment of $4,000 members,
which the orders constitution does not
call for.

sued will be destructive to tho frater-

SYSTEM NOT FOR SALE

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-One prosperous
independent telephone company was
represented today by witness for the
government in the hearing here in the
government s antitrust suit against the
American Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany. Edwin D. Schade, general man.
ager of the Johnstown (Pa.) Telephone
company and vice president of the
Independent Telephone association, tes'
titled that his company had forced the
Bell system to the wall in his terri
tory.
Mr.. Schade said that he had urged a
few persons, including one OF his own
directors, to subscribe for the Bell SER
vice in order not to have the "trust -
business reduced so far that it would
be driven out of the western Pennsyl
vania field altogether.
Compares Rates.
The telephone rate between Johns
town and Pittsburg is 40 cents for
three minutes, said Mr.. Schade, Be
tween McConnellsburg and Pittsburg,
over which the Bell lines have no com
petition, the rate. ne said, is SLAB for
three minutes The distance, he said,
was about sevcnty-five miles in each
case. Mr.. Schade complained of "de-
st-uctive competition by the Bell sys~
TEN, charging that the "trust" offered
free service on some local lines and
had reduced tolls to f'almost nothing" "
He was cross-examined by Z. S. Pills
bury of San Francisco, representing the
Bell system.
'fYour company gets about S5 year
more from each subscriber than the
Bell does. Your rates are higher than
Bell rates. You have 7778 Subscribers
where the Bell has only 2I00 in your
territory. You pay a l2 per cent divi-
dend and have large sinking fund
and frst-class equipment. In other
condition, said Mr.. Pillsbury.
"We are" replied Mr.. Schade
"Then what do you complain OFF,
Unfair Competition.
"We object to unfair competition"
said Mr.. Schadc. He said that his COM
pany was operated moro proftably than
the American Telephone & Telegraph
company because of the complicated ma
ture OF the American company g busi-
ness which made its operating expenses
unduly heavy.
Mr. Schade said that his company
was not in the market for merger or
sale to the American company.
Schade testified that in Johnstown
the Bell company during eighteen
months offered free telephone service, |
He said that during one period half the
Bell telephones in the city were being |
operated without charge to the users. |
4 : considerable number of them still |
were being operated without charge, he
said.
John z. Miller, manager OF the Erie
Telephone company of Erie, Pa, testi~ |
fed that the American company gave |
free telephone service in Erie in an at
tempt to crush competition.
