Government Officials Feel That
Beauty of Street Is Marred
BY Machines.

Government employees and business
men who park their automobiles on
Pennsylvania avenue between Ninth
and Fourteenth street northwest, are
'marring the beauty OF the Avenue az
much. IL not more than the public
hackers. This Is tbs opinion of Dis
trict officials and police officers who
have been making an investigation
OF the traffic situation on the Ave-
nue..
1t is probable that In the near fu-
ture. the Commissioners Will desig-
nate a place below the Avenue for an
ali-day parking space for these auto
mobiles. and thus leave the Avenue
clear for traffic.
IT is realized that the order for
bidding parking on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. for several hours Will raise .
storm of protest from the business
men. but 1t is thought that IL they
can be shown that the walk OF
few blocks from the selected park
ing space will not Inconvenience
them very much and that IL will add
greatly to the beauty OF the Avenue
and help traffic conditions, they viii

Middleton. Sir Maurice Dockrell, Sir
Robert Henry Woods and Andrew
Jameson, conferred on the Irish situa-
ton with view to preparing the way
for possible negotiations with the Bri

mier.
Many Persons in Prayer.
Great crowds gathered outside the

took place. waving Aemrican flags,
many falling on their knees and recit-
ing prayers for the success of the con-
ference. The Unionist representatives
met cordial reception from those as

The members of the conference
were reticent regarding what took
place at the meeting, but points OF
agreement were reached on the finan-
cial question and the disadvantages of
partition.
Popular sentiment is hopeful of
peace.
Dublin Mayor Hopeful.
This was voiced by the lord mayor
in a speech at meeting of the Dub
lin corporation after the conference,
in which he said that he was break
ing no confidence in declaring that
much good would come of it.
In a statement to the Associated
Press, an important official, in touch
with all sides of the situation, asserted
that the government was prepared to
make large concessions, the farreach-

appreciate. He added that fears that
De Valera would be hampered by ply

| The view is entertained here that
Sir James Craig's absence from the

might easier be made by the Ulster
premier in London than Dublin. This
view, however, is not shared by the

be represented.
