Special Committee Looking for Suit
able Location for Proposed
New Hospital.

The site of the new Alexandria
Hosnital. which has been perpleA-
;np question to those interested IN
the new building, is once more unset
tied, although plans and specifications
have been prepared and accepted Ior
the building to be erected on the
north Columbus street site, ana the
hoard of trustees are prepared TO
receive bids for it's construction. The
columbus street site was only Sc
,ected after strenuous objection on
the part of the lady board OF mana-
oers and several members OF the
hoard of trustees who felt that 1t
was not the proper location for the
new hospital.
At a recent meeting of the commit
tees it was stated that property ad-
Joining the Columbus st. side would
in all.probability be used in the near
failure for industrial purposes, which
would seriously effect the patients o.
| the hospital in case the present plans
were carried out to build the hospital
there. For that reason subcom-
mittee of the building and site com"
!, ,mittee was appointed by Chairman
Robert s.. Jones'. This committee IS
composed of Carroll Pierce, W. A.
Smoot, Jr., and James K. Cation
They are now looking for new lcca-
ton for the hospital building and are
expected to report at an early date
! to the site and building committee
who will ask the board Ct trustees to
reconsider the question.
Many persons interested in the
| new hospital favor the location OF
the institution in George Washington
Park, and it is believed that the SUBJ
committee will recommend this site.
|! The City Council of Alexandria is
now considering proposition to take
over the park from the Washington
Monument Association, and in case
this is done the hospital management
| will ask the city to give them site
| for the new building. In addition to
the park proper the city will secure a
number of building lots from the
monument association in case their
proposition is accepted.

The members of the Phi Mu Sigma
Fraternity, Alpha Chapter of the
NJ. E. Church South, with many OF
their friends made arrangements
early yesterday to take moonlight
ride on the steamer st. Johns, which
makes runs down the Potomac Mon

steamer. The boat finally appeared.

ing. The greatest chagrin was ap-
parent when the steamer passed the
city without stopping. She was
crowded to her fullest capacity, and
it is said that about five hundred
Washingtonians were kept from go
ing aboard the boat after the num-
Der allowed by law had boarded her
Since the terrible disaster to ex-
cursionists in Chicago last Saturday
the officials are giving more atten-
ton to pleasure steamers in every
