On the other side Of the music con-

laid out what will be known as the

be developed with informal walks and
rambles, with spaces for sand boxes and

hood.
What is considered the principal fea-
ture Of the design will be the grand
terrace. This will be just at the brow
Of the hill, utilizing the highest area,
which in turn will be raised several
the south and west sides to support 1t.
The grand terrace will be sixty feet wide
and will reach across the entire park
from 18th to 10th street. On three
pet. The north side will be backed up
with dense hedge Of trees trimmed to
make q thick background thirty feet
high-an innovation in this country.
There will be arches cut through this
hedge connecting the terrace with the
concert garden. The view from this ter
race will be one Of the very finest in
the city. That undoubtedly will make 1t
a great visiting point for all tourists
and out-of-town visitors. as well as
favorite gathering point for Washing
tonians on hot summer evenings.
The southern slope has been featured
with cascade treatment, starting with q
fall Of water issuing from a fountain
ing through a series Of small pools to
three basins on lower level. On each
side OF the cascade q balustraded walk
descends to the water garden below. The
remainder Of the hillside will be given q
thick tree plantation through which
winding walks with seats and various
features Of interest will connect the up
per and lower levels.
Plans for Water Garden.
An area will be leveied at the foot Of
the hill for water garden. This Will
have three great basins with many play
Ing fountains. The entire garden IL In
closed with formal trimmed trees similar
to those used in European gardens. A
space 10 left at the south side opposite the
cascade terminal for some memorial
statue commanding enough to hold the
position.
With the exception Of the open view
from the grand terrace and from prom
enade terrace along 18th street. which
will be part Of the concert garden. the
park will be practically all inclosed with
boundaries in q way to give q private
sylvan character to the interior.
The main entrance to the park will be
from along 10th street, nearly opposite
terrace, which viii be reached BY stairs
within the terrace itself at the west end.
There will be a secondary entrance, un-
covered. leading from 10th street at
rama road. The entrance for vehicles
will be from Euclid street, though in this
part earriageways will be kept subordi-
mated to walks and promenades. The
idea is merely to provide parking space
for those wishing to visit the park from
a distance. rather than opportunity for
driving. There will also be an entrance
on 18th street, and two entrances from
w street. Tho park will be designed
way that it can be closed at night Il
found necessary.
Detailed perspective drawings rendered
by Jules Guerin and a model Of the park
will soon be ready for exhibition.

Bill Laid Aside for Vote.

The Covington interstate trade commits
sion bill was finished in committee Of the
whole in the House yesterday afternoon
and laid aside for q vote at the end Of the
consideration of the remaining two anti
trust measures. Attempts to amend the
bill failed. Representative Murdock OF
Kansas used the reports Of the Mellen
testimony in regard to the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad as an
evidence Of the truth Of the progressive
claim that mere publicity in corporation
sired in restraining unfair practices. He
introduced an amendment which would
give the interstate trade commission
power to prohibit unfair practices, but
the advocates of the Covington bill re-
Piled that the commission was to be an
adjunct to legislation-to give evidence
and not to make regulations.
The bill as adopted last night would
create an interstate trade commission of
three members, not more than two to be
of the same party. all eventually to serve
six-year terms, at salaries of $4,000 a
year. The commission would absorb the
bureau Of corporations. and have head
quarters In Washington, though 1t could
hold special sessions anywhere. 1t would
receive reports from all industrial cor
porations capitalized at 5000 900 or more,
as well as from certain others that may
be designated. The commission, upon re-
quest Of the President. Attorney General
or Congress. would Investigate and re-
port as to antitrust law violations. in
Guiding recommendations for readjust-
ment Of business.
Night sessions of the House on the
Clayton anti-injunction bill began last
night. Representative Webb Of North
Carolina, in opening the debate. told of
the various provisions of the bill, which
affect interlocking directorates. holding
companies, injunctions and contempt pro-
cedure. Many members participated in
the speechmaking today and will con-
tinue tonight.
