PLAN UNIQUE TYPE
/. FOR NEW TECH HIGH
Group of Four Buildings Pro-
posed Rather Than Usual
Single Structure.

The new Mckinley High School, to
be erected at I'd and " streets north
east, will be unique in local school
house architecture if present plans
Of Municipal Architect A. l.. Harris
are carried out.
Instead of erecting one large struc-
ture, as has been done in the past,
Architect Harris is tentatively con-
sidering group arrangement of
four buildings, mainly because, he
says, the topography of the site
lends itself better to such a scheme.
The auditorium would be a separate
structure, flanked by the academic
building on one side and the mechan-
ical shops on the other, all connected
by covered archways. The fourth
building would be the power plant.
The Mckinley site adjoinS the new
Langley Junior High School. and is
within stones throw of the Emery
Grade School There will be an ath-
letic field in connection with the new
Mckinley, making the entire tract
an elaborate school reservation.
The new appropriation act makes
$4,000 available for the preparation
of plans for the new Mckinley, and
Mr. Harris will start soon on the pre-
liminary drawings. The initial ar-
preparation to begin construction Will
be asked for in the next estimates
of the Commissioners and board of
education.

The secretary of the Smithsonian
Institution. DR.. Charles ID. Walcott,
and Mrs. Walcott leave Washington
today for a season of geological field
work in the Canadian Rocky Noun
tains, where DR. Walcott has carried
on his scientific researches for the
last ten summers. The first stop Will
be Lake Louise station on the Cana
dian Pacific railway, where the camp
outfit and pack horses will be waiting.
The plan is to work in the noun
tains north and northeast of Lake
Louise in quest of further informa-
ton on the complicated geological
formations of this region, and or
collections of fossils to ship back to
Washington for laboratory study dur
ing the winter.
The first camp will be at Baker
Lake. where the close Of last seasons
work found DIR. Walcotts party.
Here a heavy snowfall last Septembe
effectively stopped all geologlcal
work and drove the party back TO
the railroad Near this camp last
wear Mrs. Walcott found eighty-two
different species of wild flowers, many
of which she sketched in water col
ors to add to her collection at the

reason the locality was named the

THREAT OF ALLY RIOT
AVERTED BY POLICE
Jam of Angry Crowd Believed Due
to Attack on Greek
Girl.

Speedy response of police to a call
for reserves today checked what
promised to be a serious riot in Jack
son Hall alley, near John Marshall
place and Pennsylvania avenue. Sew
eral hundred Greeks and colored per-
sons were jammed in the court, which
is at the corner of the seven en-
frances to Jackson Hall alley. There
was a tumult of voices, but very lit
tie damaging action. A few bricks
were hurled. Headquarters detec-
tives and squad of reserves, with
Capt. Reilly of the sixth precinct, ar
rived in time to check more serious
trouble
After the congestion and confusion
died away, it was discovered that
three colored men had come to the
home of William Kalla, 226 Jackson
Hall alley, and asked him to come

Want Buses Rerouted.

Residents of Buchanan street be-

queSted the District Commissioners to
reroute Washington Rapid Transit
motor buSses so that they will go only
one way, preferably east bound, on
that street. They point out that the

Chicago Produce Market

Chicago, Dec. %.
Wheat scored some brisk upturns
IN price today chiefly as result OF
the better buying support and owing to
decrease of selling pressure. Much
of the buying came from houses that
were conspicuous yesterday as sellers.
Closing quotations on wheat were firm
to IL higher. with May $l.133 to 1.73E
and July 1.4S2 to 1.4Ss. Corn finished
IL to - cents up. oats to CSC gain,
and provisions unchanged to l. down.
Unexpected relative stcadiness Of
wheat quotations at Liverpool had
stimulating effect on the market here
and with strong interests absorbing
the surplus offerings an upward trend
was quickly i'll violence. Meanwhile
the general trade, although of al pre-
holiday character, seemed responsive
TO talk which was current that liberal
European buying would soon develop
again with the new year and was like
~ to increase to a notable extent dur
ing the early spring. Besides, snow
falls over the domestic winter wheat
telt We're Offset by assertions that
benefits had been precluded by Arctic
weather of late.
Reports that only II to 20 por cent.
of the domestic wheat crop in the
northwest remains to be marketed were
something of a factor encouraging to
buyers. Partly in this connection de-
mand from speculative short sellers ill

Notice was also taken that primary
receipts as a whole were smaller and
that some western points had eX-
tremeiy Scant arrivals.
Reinstatement of recently sold ont
holdings gave independent strength to
the corn market. In addition weather
conditions thai would tend to enlarge
feeding demands were prevalent. Oats
followed corn.
Packers selling weakened the pro-
visions market.
