NATURAL GASS FOUND

Natural gas has been found and

to the present time no large flow

This is undoubtedly due to the fact
that no deep wells have been drilled
on promising structures. AS far as
the writer knows only two deep tests
for gas or oil have been attempted
in the state. One Is the Des Lacs
well near Minot, now ut Il depth of
approximately 1000 feet. This we'll

Virginia Rivers at Flood Height.

Floods in our part of the country
take a prominent place in the news.
It is extraordinary that two floods
have occurred in the Potomac Valley
this spring, and it is unusual that sew
eral Virginia rivers are out Of their
banks. For years Potomac tributaries
in West Virginia and western Mary
land have destroyed life and property,
and South Branch of the Potomac and
Wills Creek have generally been bad
actors in time of heavy rain or melt
ing snow. Flood-loss news comes from
a number of places in Virginia. By
late reports the Shenandoah has risen
higher than at any other time in fifty
years, and land that has not been
flooded within the memory Of most
men is under water. AT points along

Hylan Wants a Third Term.

Mayor Hylan has caused a wrinkle
to furrow Tammany's brow by open
ing a campaign for a third term as
mayor. He wrote a letter to the heads
Of city departments which was taken
to indicate the opening Of a deter
mined drive for reelection to Office. In
it he commanded all officials to accept
invitations to address the people Of
the city at meetings of district clubs,
taxpayers and civic organizations.
The officials are admonished that at
these meetings the people must be
"apprised of what we have done and
are doing in their behalf" and told of
the fight against special interests"
by the Hylan administration.
The prospect of having to boost the
mayor for a third term does not suit
Tammany. Many Tammany men are
holding Office under Mayor Hylan, and
will have to choose between support
ing his third-term ambitions OF being
violently separated from their jobs.
A fight with the mayor would be de-
plored by Tammany for another rea-
son. 1t might complicate Gov. Alfred
E. Smiths presidential contest. Tam
many is trying to iron out possible
and prospective wrinkles in the Smith
campaign for the presidential nomina-
ton. Mayor Hylan and Mr.. Hearst are
not very strong for the Smith candi-
dacy, and are not particular if few
brickbats do fall in Gov. Smiths back
yard.

New Boulevard.

Infog ogmation is given by the District
surveyor that the extension Of Massa
chusetts avenue from its western end
in the valley Of Powder Mill Branch
and its conversion into an automobile
drive may be carried forward as fast
as road builders with the aid of public
money can do the work. Masacht-
setts avenue, passing through the site
of Fort Gaines at the junction with
Nebraska avenue, descends into the
valley of Powder Mill Branch and
crosses that valley to intersect West
ern avenue, which is planned as
boulevard along the west boundary of
the District. The south end of West
ern avenue is at the Dalecarlia reser-
voir reservation, and it leads north.
east across the line of Massachusetts
avenue and intersects the River road,
avenue at Chevy Chase Circle. On the
plat of the District Western avenue
continues northeast from Chevy Chase
Circle to Rock Creek Park. When put
in condition for travel the Powder
Mill Branch section of Massachusetts
avenue and Western avenue will be
one of the long fine links in Wash
ington's boulevard system. Near the
reservoir Western avenue passes close
to the sites and ruins of the civil war
Forts Simmons, Mansfield, Sumner,
Kirby and Cross and Batteries Bailey
and Benson. 1t would be feasible to
convert the land occupied by the
group of old defenses into a public
reservation. Western avenue, at it's
intersection with the River road, also
crosses the site Of Fort Bayard. The
proposed additions to the Capitals
boulevard system pass through a
region of scenic charm and historic
association.

A Favored Convict.

A proceeding before New York
commissioner of accounts relative to
the degree to which a man convicted
of crookedness in conducting broker
age business served his term of i'm
prisonment is arousing keen interest
in New York despite the distractions
of politics. This broker was sentenced
for an indeterminate term in the peni-
tentiary upon pleading guilty to the
charge of defrauding customers, who
lost, it is believed, about 100000. He
was paroled after ninety days, but it
is now charged that he actually served
only a few hours in prison, having
been granted liberty by special dis
pensation and the generosity of the
warden. Witnesses have testified to
seeing him in well known resorts in
New York during the time he was
supposed to be confined. The judge
who sentenced him explains that he
granted him only a few hours of lib
erty to enable him to arrange certain
business matters. Evidently somebody
became very kind, so that the actual
Imprisonment was a farce. Now it is
proposed to re-indict this man and re-
try him, and if he is again convicted,
to resentence him, with assurances
that his sentence will be carried into
full effect.
1t is important that this case be
followed through. A public feeling
prevails that some Of those convicted
of crimes are not adequately punished
and that the larger their means the
less they suffer. Their resources en-
able them to fight off conviction and
final disposition of their cases, through
appeals and protracted technicalities.
They often gain pardons or paroles,
while offenders of less prominence,
humble lawbreakers, are receiving the
maximum terms allowed by the law,
with no chance for remission.
Partially breeds contempt for the
law. This New York broker, who was
caught in a wicked swindle, which he
confessed, should not be permitted to
go so nearly free through favoritism
or by means of influence or possibly
corruption.

rights to the Great Falls Power Com
pany, which was chartered by Vir-
ginia March 8, 1894. It's charter au-
thorized it to acquire, hold, improve
and use water power at or near Great
Falls, to construct dams, canals and
hydraulic and auxiliary steam works,
to generate and sell electric power
and to do many other things. On April
6, 1894, the Maryland Legislature gave
the company ihe same rights named

right to run electric railways in Mont
gomery County and build transmits
sion lines for electric power to con-
meet with manufacturing plants and
railway lines in the District. The
Potomac Electric Power Company
succeeded to the charters Of the Great

The Federation of Arts.

The annual convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Arts begins today
in Washington. This organization has
been meeting here for a number of
years, having its headquarters in
historic building in this city. The ap-
propriateness of this selection of the
National Capital as the central point
and meeting place Of the federation
becomes more apparent annually. For
this is growing to be more and more
distinctly the art center of the coun-
try.
Here are not only three notable pub
lie art galleries, the National, the Cor
coran and the Freer, but several large
and important private galleries. Here
are examples of architecture un-
equaled anywhere else in the United
States. Here are murals of the high
est merit and wide fame. Here are
sculptures and monuments of rare
beauty. Here also are park settings
for these works of art. features OF the
Capital equipment that have no rivals
elsewhere.
But it is not alone in these physical
manifestations that Washington is the
center of the art life of the American
people. Here originate most of the
new great works of public art that
go to vitalize the cultural spirit of
the nation.
The American Federation of Arts is
a national clearing house of the in
fluences that make for the higher ad-
vancement Of the people. 1t brings
together into an organic unit the men
and women who are unselfishly and
sacrificingly striving for the express
sion of the highest thought through
various forms. 1t enables them to re-
port their progress, to note the needs
Of the country, to set forth their plans
and projects for further advances.
Art has become civic necessity.
City planning, so long neglected that
our American municipalities became
mere congeries of streets and build
ings without regulation or relation
save in respect to congestion, has been
made a matter of careful study, and
many serious faults have been correct
ed. Broader visions have been grant
ed the people through persistent effort
by those who see the actual need of
wider spaces.
Through the schools art is being
shown and taught to the children. In
the legislatures art is being enacted
L. -
ern life are being met and checked in
large measure by this infusion of
higher influences. In this work the
American Federation Of Arts has
been major influence, and Washing
ton welcomes it as it meets once more
for it's annual session to survey the
country and report upon the progress
that has been made toward the ideal
of national life.
