CITIZENS LOSE PLEA
TO HALT BUILDING
Zoning Commission Votes to Allow
Apartment Erection on
Harvard Street.

The zoning commission today, after
reconsidering for the second time the
question of whether the height regu-
lations should be amended to permit
William S. Phillips to erect a five
story apartment on the ground bor-
dered by Argonne place, Harvard
street and Lanier, voted to adhere to
the decision reached last week per-
mitting the erection of the building.
Although the commission. following
hearing last week granted Mr.
Phillips application IN Friday. resi-
dents of Argonne place and the Mount
Pleasant Citizens Association. con
tinued to protest. and it was decided
to again hear the case this morning
Charles +. Consaul and Fred g.
Coldren, spokesman for the protest
ants. centered their objections on the
point that a large apartment house
on that site would mar the Harvard
entrance to the Zoo.
Mr.. Coleman told the Commission
ers they should not close the alleys
necessary to permit the large apart
ment house unless they believe such
action would be in the public interest.
W. G. Sullivan. attorney for Mr..
Phillips, explained that If the alleys
are not closed Mr.. Phillips would
still have the right to build three
separate small apartments which, he
declared. would be far less attract
i've at the entrance to the park than
one large building.
In answer to questions from Chair
man Besson, Mr.. Phillips testified
that both the Argonne and Harvard
streets fronts of the building would
be attractively finished in press
brio and limestone, with wide park
ings between the structure and the
street.
Maj. W. r. Scott presented the
special objections of the Argenne
place residents. Attorney Sullivan
told the commission that a number
Of the original Argonne place pro-
testants had withdrawn their OBJ
jcctions.

Wallace Reid Dies.

Los Angeles. Wallace Reid, motion
picture actor died at Hollywood.
The end came In the sanitarium
where the actor was taken about a
month ago after nervous breakdown,
said by his family to have been due
to his fight against the narcotic habit.
Relds wife and children were with
him when he died.
Reid, at the height of his career as
motion picture actor, collapsed sew
eral months ago, and after two
months absence from the studio, on
what was reported to be nervous
breakdown and eye trouble, the family
made a sensational announcement Just
before Christmas that he was vic
tim Of drugs and under treatment In
private sanitarium.
The announcement, made by his

Ing In studios In New York under a
strain Of illness, he used drugs for
stimulant to hold him up through pro-
duction Of picture which later gain
ed fame as one Of his best. This was
revealed later to have set the drug
habit upon him, and finally last fall
he broke down at the Hollywood stu
dos and went under a physicians
care.
1t was fight to the finish to con-
quer the drug habit, his family made
known, and during the past month he
was close to death on several occa-
sions. At Christmas he rallied and
indications were that he was on the
road to c0nvalescence. Only few
days ago his condition was reported
showing such signs of Improvement
that his return to the screen was set
for next July. IN an.

CENTRAL COMPETITIVE
FIELD is ABOLISHED

NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-The old
central competitive field" basis, upon
which wages and wording conditions
in the bituminous coal industry have
been determined almost continuously
since 1898, was scrapped today by
operators and union officials conferr-
ing on 1928 wage contracts.
In its stead new "tri-strate" COM
petitive field was mapped out, con-
sisting of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio,
and eliminating Pennsylvania. Upon
this tri-tsate basis the conferees
now hope to proceed with the estab-
lishment of standard wage rates
which operators and miners through
out the United States may use as a
guide in peaceably working out con-
tracts this spring.
Miners and employers declared at
the close of today's sessions that they
were reasonably certain to complete
their work within week. The in
term of April l then would remain
for the negotiation of new wage
scales throughout the industry, ex-
listing contracts expiring on that date.
Agreement Of both parties to the
negotiations to proceed on a tristate
basis was looked upon as big strike
toward the elimination of all POSSIBLE
ity of strike this season.
1t was the problem over which OPP
orators and miners split this year
the bituminous strike resulting The
former demanded elimination of the
old central competitive field" in ia
vor Of contracts between owners and
workers in less all-embracing dis
tricts between owners and workers in
less all-embracing districts. Their
refusal to deal with the United Mine
Workers of America was attributed
to the instance of John l. Lewis, pre-
sident of the organization, upon re-
tention of the four-state method.

New Good Road Bond Issue for s15,.

CHARLESTON w. VA, Jan. %.
"A road bond bill with $4,000, 900
total instead Of the contemplated
100000, and IL per cent rate
instead of per cent, was ready for
the governor tonight after tenn
pestuous day in house and senate dur
ing which its passage was completed.
In the course of the journey it under
went the two amendments, avoided
several others, including proposed adj
ition of a gasoline tax rider, and fin
ally went through conference COM
mite to procure agreement of the
two chambers.
The opening prayer of the house
was scarcely ended this morning be-
fore the bond battle began, with a
report of the bill and proposed amend
ments by M. Page Aleshire, chairman
of the house committe on taxation an
finance committee. The only COM
mittee amendments were those reduc-
ing the amount of the issue and the
interest rate, and guided BY ]. S. Zim-
norman, Democratic floor lealer, with
some aid from E. F. Moore, the min
ority leader the bill passed through
a fire of amendments from the floor
without any further change. The
final vote on it's passage, 81 to a, with
Delegates Davission, Miller, Patton,
Sutton and Underwood casting the
negative votes, was well above the
four-fifths majority necessary to pass
an emergency measure.
The senate readily accepted the a.
mendment changing the $40, 100000
with which it had originally passed
the bill to SIS 100000 but baked at
the interest change. Senator Cohen
C. Arnold led the opposition to this
amendment, and after some quoting
of bond prices from the daily papers
a vote was put by the upper body on
record as refusing to concur in the
second amendment. When this was
reported to the house that brach in
sisted on its amendment and confer
~ence committee, consisting of Senat-
ors Arnold, McClaren (author of the
measure) and johnson the Delegates
Zimmerman, Aleshire and Willis met
at once to iron out the differences.
The committee reported urging the
senate to recede from its objection to
the amendment and the recommends
ton was followed.
