Seay, fifteen years old. has fled suit
here against the American Security

a constant course OF mlstreatment
and abuse. He has been repeatedly
deprived of sufficient food, has sell
dom had enough to cat, to such an
extent that his school teacher of her
own accord inquired whether he was
getting sufficient to seat"
Young Seay was attending the
Hyde Park School, in Chicago. he
says, and is ambitious TO enter the
Naval Academy. but he says Seymour
did not approve and sent him TO an
other school.
The boy, whose next best friend IN
the proceedings is Clinton Y. Brands,
alleges that the mothers estate is
valued at about $4,000
The petition asks that the court
hear the boys story determine as TO
the right of his custody and the es-
tate of his mother, and appoint some
person other than Seymour as his
guardian.

COL. HARPER
TELLS IDEAS
FOR NEW D. c.

The opportunities for continued
progress and development now await
ing the National Capital are outlined
in a prosperity talk" to The Times
today by Col Robert N. Harpsr, presl-
dent OF the Chamber Of Commerce.
Colonel Harper said:
Washington today is OF such in
ternational importance and possesses
such increasing power as the Capital
City OF one Of the leading nations OF
the world that her residents cannos
permit the city to lag behind.
In my opinion the people Of Wash
ington realize their responsibility.
This city will never be composed only
Of the 35o.Ooo population Of before-the
var-days.
Influx Not Temporary.
The recent influx OF extra Govern
ment employees Is not temporary. ThE
Government has proven this by con.
tinuing to erect permanent Govern
ment buildings.
The building industry in Washing
ton must and will go ahead with
rapid strides.
II believe the Great Falls OF the
Potomac will be protected, harnessed.
and utilized. That the residents Of
the District will become citizens.
That the manufacturing not objec-
tionable to the Government and peo-
pie OF Washington viii develop. That
this will be city Of international
educational Importance. That the
tax on intangible personal property
being imperative of enforcement
will be abolished. That we will have
a civic central building to house our
Gemi-public and trade organizations
with an adequate hall for practical
purposes.
I'VE have deep water transporta-
ton; raw material and railroad ad-
vantages unsurpassed.
Rebuild on the Avenue.
The buildings on the entire south
side Of the Pennsylvania avenue
should be torn down to the Depart
ment of Agriculture and Smithsonian
Grounds. as well as the north side
from First street to Four-and-a-half
street and north to B. This space
should be devoted to exhibit buildings,
built under direction Of the Fine Arts
Commission.
Congress should build a national
arch Of triumph in commemoration Of
the allied victory and the heroism OF
the American troops.
"Our parking system should be
extended so that Potomac Park will,
by development through the pres
ent Rock Creek Park and the Zoo,
to the Soldiers Home and to Anacos-
tia Heights, serve to establish a new
parking system, encircling the city.
Bridge AnaeOstIa River.
The .Anacostia river schould be
spanned by a bridge from South Capt.
tol street to that undeveIoped section
west OF Anacostia and the Firth Stir
ling works opening up excellent
building sections.
Our warefage should be improved
to handle increased business through
the development OF agriculture along
the Potomac.
"If we keep up our campaign of
progress we shall meet success and
continue to make Washington in deed
as well as in name, the National
Capital Of the United States.

Two large dealers, W. A. Simpson

Simpson and Black, however. did
not bind the other dealers by their

was asked BY several dealers to call

situation.
"I cannot understand the motive n
the dealers In asking for q confer
ence," stated Dr. Fowler. 1T may be
their intention to pledge their CO.

in lowering the price Of milk, and Il
may be to declare their intention OF
