EXTENSION Of CENTRAL
AVENUE HAS APPROVAL
Commissioners Report Adversely on
Bill Ordering Condemnation Pro-
ceedings Withdrawn.

An adverse report on the bill di-
rectine them to withdraw condemnation
proceedings for the extension of Cen
trail avenue. in accordance with the
highway plans, was sent to Congress
today by the District Commissioners.
verdict awarding damages for the
land taken for the proposed extension
was returned March 80, 1915, but the
Commissioners considered the amount
as excessive, and recently directed the
CORPORATION counsel to ask for new
jury trial.
In their report the Commissioners
say that the extension was requested
by the Langdon- Woodbridge Citizens
Association, and was deemed by the
District heads to be a matter of pub
lie interest.
Believe Majority Approves.
The Commissioners have endeavored
to look at the matter from the stand
point of the community as a whole"
they say. land, in ordering the ex-
tension of Central avenue, they feel
not only they are acting in the interest
of the community, but they are sup
ported in their action by a majority
of those who will have to bear the
burdens imposed by this action"
The bill now pending in Congress for
abandonment of Piney Branch road be-
tween Allison and Buchanan streets
northwest, received favorable report
from the Commissioners today. The
abandonment is proposed to take eff
feet when Buchanan street, between
Piney Branch road and 18th street. is
opened for traffic With the opening of
this portion of Buchanan street there
will be no necessity, say the Commits
sioners, for retaining as a public high
way that portion of Piney Branch road
referred to. The District, it is stated.

Piney Branch road proposed to be
abandoned, and if this. easement is
abandoned the fee would revert to the

building regulations by providing for
the better protection of persons en-
gagged in construction work in the Dis

PETR0GRAD FILLED
 WITH REFUGEES
Hardly Vacant Room Left in Rus

(Correspondence of the Asso. Press. )

Correspondence of the Asso. Press.)
 Petrograd, Oct. 17.-The housing problem in Petrograd has become more and more serious. as refugees have poured in. overcrowding the hotels, filling all available lodgings, and producing a state of congestion throughout the city. It has proved particularly perplexing to thousands of university students. At present there is harlJ an unoccupied apart ment in the city. nor vacant room ill any of the houses which ordinarily let rooms. Private families in com fortable circumstances without the slightest need of eking out an in come by taking in lodgers, have in many cases generously yielded to the tremendous demand for rooms. and disposed oc them at high prices to panicky P : ic which filled them with the celerity and eagerness of persons confronted with the prospect of sleeping in the parks.
 The predcanccnt of the student class which having little money to spend, has naturally been unable to compete in the scramble for rooms with doubled or trebled prices, had been the subject of several confer ences of the university faculties which have made appeals to the city authorities to take immediate meas ures to provide for the large number Of homeless students. Many of these students are now sleeping on park benches, or spending the night in walking the streets, while the more fortunate ones are sharing rooms which as many as five or six have taken together.
 One proposal is that hotel proprie- tors be compelled to give a certain humber or rooms at a low rate to students Another is that some of tEe moving picture theaters be con- verted into lodging houses, and that the idle steamboats on the Neva be requisitioned.
 Evidence of the present shortage cf lodgings occurs daily in the adver Using columns of the newspapers In some advertisements it is stated that as much as five hundred roubles two hundred and fifty dollars) will be paid as a bonus in addition to the regular rental merely for informa- ton leading to the lease of a desir- able apartm ent

GERMAN STEAMERS ESCAPE.

Rotterdam, Netherlands, Nov. 1.- Thirty -three German and Austrian steamships that had been laid up in Dutch harbors since the beginning of the war, have put to sea in the past seven month, IS Of them leaving in the month of Sept. alone. CHnging to the coast, all would seem to have got safely to home ports, and a num- Der of these ships have probably been placed in the German services to Scandinavian ports. Only twelve German and three Austrian steam ships now remain in Dutch harbors apart from four interned German ves- sells.

Manila, P. I. Nov. 1.-Allied war ships, believed to be British vessels, gre again active In territorial waters of the Philippines and half a dozen lnter-island vessels have been over- hauled, halted and examined during the past few days. The procedure is generally to halt ship, send an ermed landing party aboard, examine e the ships papers, ask for information Es to the nationality of the passen- gers and inquire whether the ship carried cargo or mail addresses to Teutonic subjects. So far there has been no interference either with pas Eengers, mail or cargo.

While New England Nu1aition Plants Prosper, Philippine Lace Shops Boom
 Manila Nov. 1.-The European war and the consequent closing of the European sources of produ ction of embroideries and faces has given a tremendous impetus to this industry in the Philippines. Before the war it had already reached large propOr- tiOns in Manila and the provinces, the public schools were giving it. their at tention in an effort to train girls in the art of producing fabrics which would meet commercial needs, and American comme mercial interests had established agencies here
 The war has increased this business to such an extent that it is seeming ly impossible to meet the demand At present more than 10000 women in Manila alone are employed in shops and homes on fine embroidery and laces and the monthly payroll is in excess of $100,00O a month.

THREE CITIES ARE INTERESTED

Rock Island, ILL.,, May l6.-The
Fort Armstrong centennial celebra-
ton to be staged on Rock island,
midway in the Mississippi river be-
tween Rock Island and Davenport,
June 1925, is expected to be one OF
the biggest events attempted in the
middle west by any community IN the
last quarter Of century The cele-
bration Is to commemorate the Tooth
anniversary OF the erection OF Fort
Armstrong by the early settlers and

section OF the Davenport Academy of
Science Irving c. Norwood of Dav-
export IL president Of the association
and Is assisted by X. II. cleveland
Of Rock Island and Elmer Z. Morgan
Of Moline as members OF the cxecu-
tive committee in absolute control OF
the management OF the celebration,

Battles with Indians.
Many of the hardest battles the
whites had during the period begin
ming in 1905 to suppress the Indians
and take possession OF the fertile Mis-
sissippi valley were fought within a
stones throw Of the imposing public
and business buildings OF the tri-
cities. II was in this vicinity that the
great Chief Black Hawk met with
the officers OF the United States army
and the representatives OF the gov
crnment at Washington and made the
treaty that established friendship be-
tween the whites and the Indians in
the Mississippi valley.
Legend of the Caves.
There is the legend OF the caves on
Rock island. These caves are three
In number and, according to the In
dians, great white bird, special
messenger of the Great Spirit, occu-
pied these caves and at various inter-
walls would come from the cave and
carry reports OF the tribes to the
happy hunting grounds. Around this
legend will be built beautiful floats
and spectaclcs 70 be used during tile

The battles Of Credit Island and OF
Campbell's Island will be reproduced
in detail during the celebration. Sew
eral regiments Of the National Guard
OF Illinois and Iowa will be stationed
in the tri-eities during the celebration
and they will participate in the mili-
tary maneuvers and sham battles that
will be made realistic part Of the
celebration.

steamship owners reap little or none
OF the profits Dividends OF French
navigation companies--such as de-
clared dividends-ran from 6 to Is
per cent, while British Dutch and
Scandinavian companies distributed
from 8 to 100 per cent among their
shareholders.
One English company declared
dividend OF 100 per cent, one so per
cent, one 40 per cent, seven from Is
TO 40 per. cent and twenty-nine COM
panies' dividends ran from 10 to 20
per cent Two Dutch companies di-
vided 100 per cent, two 50 per cent
and two 40 per cent and only one as
little as rs per cent.
The comparatively poor showing of
the French merchant fleet is ex-
planned partly by the considerable re-
quisitions made by the government
and other war disturbances that did
not affect neutral countries and were
felt far less proportonately in Eng
land, because British owners con-
