LOOK AHEAD INLAND
BUYING, URGES BELL
Says City Should Purchase
Park Property Before Sec
tions Are Built Up.

A far-siehted policy in buying land
for park extensions and school sites
is not only essential to good city
planning, but is a. move toward econ
omy also, Maj. ]. Fraklin Bell, En-
gineer Commissioner, told the Society
OF American Military Engineers at a
meeting in the District building last
night.
Maj. Bell declared that IL Congress
had carried out the Mcmillan Park
plan when it was proposed twenty
years ago the necessary land could
have been acquired at a reasonable
figure.
Today, he said, the land not only
has taken on higher value, but Is
rapidly being taken up for private
building operations.
Had the government bought the
land years ago and later decided not
to utilize II there would have been
no loss. for it could have been dis
posed of without difficulty," he said.
Maj. Bell is OF the opinion that this
policy of looking far ahead in the ac-
QUESTION of land should be followed
now In selecting sites to be used for
school buildings in future years.
A Few days ago the Engineer Com
missioner. in buying land authorized
in the current appropriation act for
new schools, had brought to his
attention the handicap of trying to
purchase property after a neigh bor-
hood has become closely built up.

STIFF PENAL TIES, GIVEN ;
TWO DRY.LAW Vl0LATORS
Fine of $500 Each or -12o Days in
Jail--Neither Able to Pay
Assessment.

Jerome o'Jeary and Jerry Griffin
were tried in the United States
branch of Police Court yesterday be-
fore Judge Schuldt and convicted of
possession and transportation in vio-
lation of the national prohibition
law and sentenced to pay q fine of
S300 each and in default to serve 120
days in Jail They did not have the
cash and were committed.
Policeman Guy Rome sighted the
two men Juggling heavy suit cases.
He started after them, and, the men
dropped the suit cases and ran. The
officer took the abandoned grips and
placed them in his car. Later the
men returned and asked what he in
tended to do with their property.
Rome, who was in civilian clothing.
told them that he was going to. take
them and the suit cases to the sta
ton house, and he did.
The officer told the court that the
defendants had told him that they
brought the whisky with them from
out of town to sell and thereby make
their expenses while here. They had
return tickets to New York, but
when they set out of jail four months
hence the tickets will have expired.

PRELATES ARRIVE
FOR SESSION HERE
Members of Catholic Her
archy to Discuss Issues
Affecting Church.

Large numbers of the Catholic
hierarchy of America are arriving in
Washington to attend their annual
meeting at the Catholic University
tomorrow and Thursday.
Two cardinals, eleven archbishops
and forty-two bishops will attend the
conference. They will represent every
section of the country. Topics of i'm
portance to the Catholic Church of
America will be discussed at the Sc
cret sessions of the conference.
Questions dealing with education
will have the first place on the con-
ference program, and, such matters as
the Oregon schools cause.-the Sterling
Towner bill and other legislation af-
fecting Catholic interests and Catho-
lie teachers. Uniform divorce laws.
laws in respect to Catholic immi-
grants and methods for strengthen
ing Catholic lay organizations will
be discussed. +.-s
Each Of the bishops is at liberty to
propose questions for discussion at
the conference dealing with problems
in their own diocese which may seem
of sufficient Importance for national
discussion.
