New Hotel in Nassau
For Burned Colonial

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
BosTon, Mass. May 20.-Allen II.
Wood of Boston and Winchester, who
has just returned from Nassau, Bahia
mas, says that with the erection OF a
new hotel by the Government to replace
the burned Colonial the isle OF June
will enter on a period of still greater
prosperity.
And on top of that" he said. they
are planning a. zoo room house-the
Nassau Bahamian Club--on the Hobby
horse Hall West property. This VIII be
an elaborate affair, eighteen hole golf
course and all.'
Mr. Wood pictures Nassau with the
enthusiasm born of seven years ab-
sence from that land of midwinter de-
light. Its beauties were familiar to him,
but it's prosperity was new.
Not only has the Bahamian Cow
ernment attained the unique distinction
among nations of the earth Of being a
government practically without any
debts" he said. but that the Bahamier
treasury has over quarter OF million
pounds of surplus funds deposited IN
English banks and with the Royal Bank
of Canada. a monthly revenue or E5O.ODO,
and practically no taxes except the low
import duty of Pa per cent. Both tie
Munson and Ward lines send their larg-
er steamers there each week during the
season and there are two direct freight
lines to England.
las a city Nassau has been wonder
fully improved-new sidewalks and new
ly widened roads extending into the
country opening up the lakes and hills
to tourist travel by motor and other
vehicles. A new park. electric light
plant. warehouses, new residences for
winter vacationists, the new law courts
and the Royal Bank of Canada have
transformed the city within few years.
And even greater improvements are be-
ing planned by the progressive people
of the city under the leadership of the
Nassau Development Board and MEM
bers of the House.
while I was there" concluded Mr..
Wood. II had the pleasure of meeting
and talking with Maurice Clave, known
to every tourist as the man who created
the famous Colonial Gardens, fully half
of which were spared by the fire, be-
ginning his work In 1898. He is already
looking forward to the recreation of the
section that was burned. The Develop
ment Board, under the leadership of
temporary chairman. Frank Holmes,
has enlisted many prominent residents
and business men Of the city In conf
prehensive campaign to make Nassau
even more delightful next season than
1t has ever been in its endless years OF
June weather-weather which always
brings its old friends back when winter

bassador Hotel courts even now are
well patronized and will feature some

Major Unmoved
 Over Tragedy Of Wife s Death
Shell Shocked Doctor Is Solicitous for Welfare of His Pet Dogs, As He Reposes in Jail Cell.

Huntington, Penn, April 1O-Dr. Herbert Bryson; 4S, member of a prominent Washington, D. C., family and shell shocked Major in the Medi- cal Corps of the Rainbow Division during the World War, was in the county jail here today awaiting the result of a coroner's inquest at two this afternoon which is to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Helen Kirkby Bryson and her death at Cassville, Penn, late Saturday.
 Bryson apparently is unmoved over the death of his wife. When inter- viewed in his cell he refused to talk about his wife, but was solicitous con corning his two pet dogs. "I hope the neighbors will feed them,'' he said.
 The dying woman in her statement to the District Attorney said that after a quarrel she went to her dressing room, following the taking of a bath, that the doctor burst into the door and then shot her with his .45 calibre revolver. The couple came to Cass- vile, near here, about year ago. Cassvil1e is a small town and Dr. Bryson hoped to secure rest and re- cover from his shell shocked condi- tiOn.
