Mr.. NEWMAN'S HOPES
FOR THE NEW YEAR
BY OLIVER r. NEWMAN,
President Board Of CommissiOn-
ers OF the District Of Columbia.

If the progress indicated as prob
able and possible for the District OF
Columbia during the new year Is
achieved, or if substantial begin
ming toward such progress is made.
nineteen-fourteen should be
happy new year in Washington.
Events of great import to all of
the people Of the city-reforms that
will. it is hoped, make easier, hap
pier and fuller the life OF every
individual-are In prospect of ac-
complishment, and I feel confident
that the most important, at least,
will be realized before the year Is
closed.
Among the things to which I look
forward in the hope of seeing them
arrive in actual fact are the follow
ing:
/. Free, universal. interchange
able transfers among the street
railway lines.
2. Passage Of the alley slum bill.
which will wipe out the inhabited
alleys in ten years.
s. Valuation of the street rail-
way, light and telephone companies
by the public utilities commission.
f. Reform in assessment and
taxation methods that will dis
tribute taxes fairly. requiring each
person to pay in just proportion to
his means.
8. Passage of bill for the har-
Messing of Great Falls so that the
power now going to waste there
may be used to bring lower rates
for street car transportation, light
and power.
On this first day Of the new year
it is well for us to remember. too.
that there probably is not city Of
the size of Washington in the coun-
~ that is in as magnificent finan-
cial condition. Every other city /
know of has a big load of debt.
Washington has practically none.
Nearly all other cities are ham,
pered in great undertakings be-
cause they have already mortgaged
the future heavily. Washington
practically has paid as it went
along.
If Washington were a private
corporation it. could easily borrow
on the value represented by its
property, a hundred million dollars.
1t has an enormous credit that it
has not attempted to use, but
which is available at any moment
if needed. Its possibilities for
municipal achievements, therefore,
are almost unlimited.

Garrison and Daniels

For the first time in more than GEN.
fury officers OF the Army and Navy and

tunity today to greet their commander

ficers marching from the State, War and
Navy building across Executive avenue

Washington. The officers Of the nation $
defense thus came to be the observed of
all observers to the thousands of every
day citizens who formed outside the
westerly gate of the White House grounds
to wait their turn in the long line of the
presidential guests.

CASE OF ARSON.
Fire in Hoquiam Believed to Have
Been Incendiary. Woman Occu-
pant Has Narrow Escape.

HOQUIAM, July 23.-A mysterious
fire of undoubted incendiary origin
which has been a puzzle to the citys
police force, broke out shortly before
3 o'clock yesterday morning in a pile
of kindling which some party, whose
identity is unknown, placed on the
back porch of the home of Mrs. An.
drew Nielsen at 924 First street. The
barking of her pet Spitz dog awoke
Mrs. Nelson and she communicated
the alarm to male boarder in the
house, who put out the fire.
The kindling had obviously been
carried up from the dock and some
of it was under barrel, while the
rest was piled around the barrel. The
barrel was not near the wall of the
house. and there was no trace of Oil
The wall was not damaged.
The theory of the police is that
some one wished to frighten Mrs. Mel
son and adopted this criminal method
of making his point.

LAW
WELL RECEIVED
Convention Of State Bankers
of the Union Enthusiastic
Over the New Law

OLYMPIA, July 23.-State lnk Elk.
aminer w. e. Hanson, who has re-
turned from attendance at the meeting
of state bankers at Atlantic City, is
enthusiastic over the attitude taken by
bankers throughout the country on the
new currency law providing for a Sc
ries of reserve banks. Examiner Han
son declares the sentiment is growing
rapidly in favor Of the system among
all classes of bankers, partisan opposi-
tion that was manifested to some de-
gree during the consideration and i'm
mediately following the passage of the
measure disappearing. At the conven-
ton of state bankers Examiner Han.
son said the sentiment was strongly
in favor of the reserve system, not
withstanding the fact that probably
three-quarters of the bankers present
were republicans
Examiner Hanson expresses conf
dence that the reserve system will re.
suit in a benefit both to the large
banks and the smaller ones that do
business with the large. The class
of paper that can be handled by the
members of the reserve system is
such, he declares, as to make it pos
sible to accommodate the smaller
banks throughout the country with
larger amounts of ready money for
special needs such as the handling
of crops.
While there has been an agreement
entered into by the state banking de-
partment that state banks of Wash
ington may, if they DESIRE enter the
reserve system, it is expected that
the next legislature will be asked to
amend the present banking law so as
to remove any, doubt as to the legal
ity of such membership on the part
of state bank. The present law pro-
vides that no state bank shall own
any stock in any other bank or bank
ing association which might be inter-
preted as prohibiting the joining of
the reserve system and taking stock
in the reserve bank. 1t is agreed by
all banking authorities, however, that
this is not the intent of the law.
