The proposal is now before the Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, of the House. 1t was made
in the form of a recommendation from
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, as
chairman OF the commission created
by Congress to acquire the ROCK
Creek valley land.
This discovery caused even more
CONSERVATION than the finding of &
neat joker in the authorization for
the park. The act apparently proVid-
ing for the park was complete In
penditure of sI,30o,o00 for the acqui-
sition of the land and caring for all
details, except that of making the
necessary appropriation. Consequent

The failure to appropriate was de-
liberately calculated, according TO
President Frank T. Leetch, OF the
Georgetown Association, who made an
Investigation after discovering that
there was no appropriation and no i'm

finding that once il was done under
secretary McAdoo's recommendation

those having adjacent property on the

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.
UPON BRINK OF WAR


LONDON. Oct. ,20.-Advices from
Rome indicate that the friction. be-
tween Italy and Austria is constant
ly increasing. The bitter feeling has
been greatly added to by the declara-
ton of Prince Won Hohenlohe. gov
ernor Of Trieste. that he is convinced
the fire in the Monfalcone dockyard
more than week ago was the result
of an italian conspiracy.
Frequent conferences are being held
by the Italian cabinet, it is stated,
and there is growing belief that
Italy soon will throw her forces into
the field on the side Of the allies
1t Is believed certain here that if
Italy takes this action Turkey will
attack Russia Up to the present the
Turkish government has refrained
from any active participation, despite
the urgent representations by Ger

CONTEST EVERY ADVANCE.

The French stubbornly contest every
attempt on part of the Germans to ad-
vance. Lines Of trenches are extended
foot at time. The thousands on
each side dig themselves in like field
moles. They cover their every move
ment. Even the guns are hidden, and
their location can not be ascertained by
the opposing forces as their smokeless
powder leaves no trace.
And in the open country the trenches
are so constructed as to be invisible to
an aviator unless he flies very low.
When he does fly low he seldom returns
to report. But there are always volun-
teers on both sides to attempt it, They
go out. and most of them are killed. A
few are captured alive, and they are
treated with the consideration their dar-
ing demands.
The hills and valleys constantly rever-
berate with the booming Of hidden can
non. u y of the shells are wasted be-
cause the target Is, Of necessity,
guess.
Yet many fall true and kill the forces
hidden in the wooded country or buried
in the trenches. There is only scatter
ing rifle fire. The troops have no tar
gets at which to aim from the trenches,
and they leave the fighting to the big
guns.
1t is when attempted sorties and
charges are made that the infantry
gets into action. Most Of those as
saults are made at night. and it was
as a result of one of those that the
present position was taken, Then the
Germans advance in closed mass for

SEARS MYSTERY
 ]. NOT YET SOLVED
How Travelling Man Met Death Thanksgiving Eve
 Still Puzzles People.

Ten days have elapsed since the body of E. P. Sears, travelling man, was found under a cotton scales plat form in West Barraque street on Thanksgiving morning, bullet hole in the head showing the cause of death. yet the mystery seems no near CT soluption now than then.
 That a man could suicide or be shot down at o'clock in the even. ing in the neighborhood where Sears body was found without some light being shed or the manner in which he met death seems impossible, yet that is the situation in this mystery.
 The county nor city authorities have, uncovered no clue that might lead to the solution. The murdered mans son-in-law has come and gone without being able to pick up any thing like thread of the skein of circumstances that would lead to a disclosure of the manner of Sears death.
 That Sears committed suicide may be the truth, but it is regarded as peculiar that he, should have made away with his watch, tdrned his pock- cts wrong side out and crawled under the platform to do so.
 All that is really known is that Sears left his hotel, presumably to mail a letter; that he was disap- pionted at the failure of some person to meet him here: that shot was fired near the spot where the body was found a few minutes after he left the hotel; that pistol was be- side the body; that the victims watch was missing, his pockets turned out and a few pieces of silver scattered about the ground near the body. A letter to his wife said he was enclos- ing $2O.
 There are many in Pine Bluff who fail to find in these circumstances anything to indicate suicide, and these arc anxiously awaiting the results of the authorities efforts to dispel the mystery.
