Hotel-Statemcnt by Eldridge
Jordan Regarding Project.

AS announced exclusively in The Star
several weeks ago. Quantico. the little
village OF about $50 population thirty
three miles south of Washington on
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Poto-
mac railroad, is about to awake from
its century-long sleep and get itself on
the map. Work has been begun on the
establishment at Quantico of Dig IN
dustrial city. and with the coming OF
spring the village will be one of the
busiest places in this part of the coun-
try.
Contracts have been made for the
erection at Quantico of an electric
lighting plant and system; for hotel
to cost approximately 100000; FOR
large number of cottages and resi-
dcnces, and for building for a new
national bank. Application has been
filed with the controller of the Treas
ury for a charter for the new bank,
Washington interests being the organ
izers and projectors of the institution.
Articles of Incorporation Filed.

in the project. The articles set forth
that the incorporators, under the style
of the Quantico Company. purpose the
establishment of an industrial city at
Ouantico, and also provide for extern
SiVe real estate operations. the carry
ing on of various municipal activities,
etc. Mr.. Jordan is the principal incor-
pora tor.
At his office in the Real Estate Trust
Company building today Mr.. Jordan
stated positively that the du Pont
Powder Company is not connected with
the Quantico project in any way. He
said the Quantico Company plans the
esta blishment OF big steel plant, and
that other industrial and manufacture
ing establishments are also to be To-
Gated at Quantico, though no definite
information was given as to the ma
ture of these additional plants.
From various sources, however.
rumors have gained currency that the
American agricultural Chemical Com
pany plans the location of a chemical
plant at Quantico. Mir. Jordan today
stated that he had no knowledge of the
companys plans for locating such a
plant at Quantico.

CHARLES STRONY FREED
BY POLICE Of WINDSOR
Musical Director Was Suspected of
Completely in Parliament
Building Fire.

WINDSOR, Ont, February 5.-Charles
Strony, a musical director. was ar
rested here last night on suspicion of
having been connected with the fire in
the parliament houses. at Ottawa
Thursday night. He was released to-
day from Jail here on orders from the
Dominion government. Strony said
he expected to leave for Chicago
early this afternoon.
Photographs of the Ottawa parlia-
ment building were found in the pos
session of Strony, according to a state
ment made by the police today. Strony
described himself as a Belgian violin
list.
Acting on instructions from Col. ]. f.
Sherwood, chief of the dominion police,
local officers took Strony from a Cana
dian Pacific train Strony character
Tres the charge as ridiculous. He said
he had played musical engagement
before the Duke of Connaught and his
staff Thursday afternoon, and was on
his way to Chicago.
According to the message received
from Col. Sherwood, Strony left Ottawa
two hours after the fire started.

Soon to Be Acted On.

At the District building it is stated
that there has been no time yet since
it's receipt for the consideration of the
resolution. but that it will soon be
taken in hand for action.
Commiss oner Newman said today
that neither he nor his colleagues had
yet given consideration to the measure.
Since Congress convened los bills re-
lating to the District have been intro
duced and referred to the Commission
ers for report. About twenty-five of
these have been considered and report
ed upon by the District heads. AS the
Chamberlain joint resolution is consd-
cred about the most important one that
has come to the District building this
session of Congress the Commissioners
intend to study its provisions carefully
before submitting their recommends
lions. Commissioner Newman said it
was unlikely that hearings on the reso-
luton would be held at the District
building.

of the village of Quantico and all of
the wharf and desirable water front:
ut is the belief of those financially
interested in the project that Quantico
offers an ideal loca ton for the estao-
lishment of big industrial city. 1t has
deep-water transportation and in on the
best railroad in Virginia.
Aside from the development opera
mite has been done toward the develop
ment of the projected industrial city
although proposals have been made by
several concerns, including steel com
pany. for the esta blishment of plants at
Quantico."
Mr.. Jordan stated that development
has not proceeded to such point as
to afford opportunities for employ
ment of any large number of men.
though he intimated that such oppor-
tunities would undoubtedly develop in
the immediate future. He insisted.
however, that Ouantico is not to be
another Hopewell. though several OF
the persons interested in the projected
sted in the development of the powder
city.
Bids Solicited for Material.
According to reports. local brick
making concerns have been asked to
submit bids on several million bricks
to be delivered at the new wharf at
Quantico for use in the various build
ing operations to be begun there as
soon as weather conditions permit.
Residents of Quantico report that
since the publication in The Star of the
projected development at the little
down-river village much of the land
in and adjoining the town has changed
hands at enormously enhanced prices.
One man. it is stated, who owned two
lots which. together, cost him less than
$500 a year or so ago, within the last
few weeks disposed of the lots for ST.
600. and other sales at similar prices
also have been reported.
Mr.. Jordan stated today that the in
dustrial feature of the new projec.
is to be incidental to the building of
city at Quantico. in other words, &C
cording to Mr.. Jordan. the city is to be
built, and it is thought the natural
consequence, in view of the many adj
vantages possessed by the location, will
be that number of big manufacturing
concerns will establish plants there.
