sideration in the selections for commits
sions in the National Guard of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, under the terms of
the proposed Kahn act, which was re-
ported favorably in the form Of a bill
from the military affairs committee Of the

The legislation is desired by National

of the National Guard. It will in no
way interfere with regular promotione
from the ranks to second lieutenancies,
as provided under the present law.
Approved by Gen. Mills and Others.

Jones. secretary of the National Defense
League, of which Representative Kahn
is chairman, and has been indorsed by
Brig Gen. Albert L. Mills. chief of the
division of militia affairs of the War De-
partment; Brig. Gen. George H. Harries,
commanding the District Guard; Lieut..
jutant general. of the District Guard;

Washington. Gen. H. Oden Lake, COM
mander-in-chief of the Army and Navy
Union, and John Lewis Smith, command
er-in-chief Of the United Spanish War
Veterans, are urging its passage. Rep

"The Only Son"

A new play, THE Only Son." from the
pen of the man who wrote THE Fortune
Hunter" will be offered at Polls Thea
ter next week. 1t is drama in four acts
by Winchell Smith. and was produced
originally at the Gaiety Theater. in New
York, by a cast that included Wallace
Eddinger. Claude Gillingwater, Louis
Randolph and Olive Wyndham. 1t ran
for a season and half there.
Mr.. Smiths newer play possesses many
of the comedy elements that made his
earlier stage story a success. But 1t is
the human interest in the story rather
than its humorous qualities that makes
it appeal to theatergoers. In Its first
act there is very strong scene and the
interest and power of the story are cumu-
lative up to the last curtain.

Walk IN CITY LIMITS
IS H|KERS' NEW PLAN
Wanderlusters to Visit Several Parks
Tonight-Start From
Capitol.

Hikers Of Washington are to try out
new plan this evening. They plan to
make a walk within the city limits in
stead of on the outskirts. Several Of the
large parks are to be visited.
It was believed by some Of the leading
wanderlusters that a number Of persons
would go on such a walk who would not
go for a walk in the country. 1t was
thought many feared to mako night
hike because If they tired they would not
be able to make a short cut to the cars.
The route tonight is to lead from the
east front of the Capitol, through the
Capitol grounds. through the Botanical
gardens, then through the Mall and part
Of Potomac Park. From here the route
will lead through the Monument grounds
and the White Lot, ending probably at
Lafayette Square.
R. d. Oatman, who has been named to
lead the wanderlusters this evening, be-
lieves he can nearly lose a large number
of those who make the trip. right In the
heart of the city.
Similar Outings May Follow.
Some of the territory to be covered
this evening will be out of the usual line
Of travel for many. It has been sug-
gested that many beautiful as well as in
teresting walks are to be found within
the city proper.
It is possible, If the outing this even
ing proves successful. that other walks
will be taken within the city.
The start this evening is to be made
promptly at s o'clock, the rendezvous, as
has been stated, being the east front Of
the Capitol. 1t Is expected that If the
weather is good one of the largest crowds
ever making hike will turn out"
Frank C. Merritt is to lead the mixers
over the trail Sunday afternoon. The
route which he will follow has not been
announced as yet, but will be in abun-
dance Of time for those who plan to take
in this outing. Mr.. Merritt is one Of the
regulars and has been a walker for

Suggests Poll of D. c.

If your valuable paper could poll the
District of Columbia on the question of
the Newman case you could not find 1
per cent of the intelligent population of
the whole District of Columbia that
would approve him in his present atti-
tude or in any of his policies with re-
spect to the city of Washington as
emanating from the municipal building
since he assumed control.
The effect of this case will reach be-
yond the confines of the District Of Co
lumbia. and the injustice and iniquities
inflicted upon patient and helpless citi-
zenship will be echoed on many hustings
and will be just refutation of our hon
orable Presidents declaration of pas
sion for home rule.

arise en- masse and demand that New
man quit the office to which he has no
legal right, and quit at once.
