Declines Proposed Honor.

Il doubt very much if there is any
one here this evening who recalls the
fact that the trustees at one time de-
sired to change the name of the col
lege from Columbian to Corcoran
University and that Mr.. Corcoran
declined the honor and suggested the
name of Columbian University This
suggestion was later carried out by
an act of Congress-
THE trustees We're of one mind,
therefore, when the time arrived to
give this building it's name. The
name of 'Corcoran Hall was unani-
mously selected and that name it now
bears and for all time will bear in
honor of Washington's greatest phil
anthropiSt and the benefactor OF
George Washington University.
This building represents, as | ver-
ilN believe, the highest standard in
architecture and arrangement 1t is
Solidly built and tireproof in every
detail. For the first time in the his
tory of the university the trustees
have been able to provide for the use
Of its thousands of students build
ing which will meet their needs in
every particular.
BY authority and on behalf Of the
board of trustees, l hereby dedicate
this building to the uses and purposes
of the Department of Arts and
Sciences of the George Washington
University and give to it the name
of CorcOran Hail.

cestor, Says Scientist

TORONTO, Ontario, Aug. 13.--That
the anthropoid apes have departed
farther than man from the skull
form Of the type that was the an.
cestor Of both was the conclusion
advanced before the British Associa-
ton for the Advancement of Science
by Doctor G. Hill.Tout. He said:
1.-The elder conceptions which
considered man to have evolved
from the ape were based upon err
roneous comparisons of the skull
character of primeval man with
skulls of mature anthropoids, when
the comparison should properly
have been made with the skulls Of
immature apes.
Man himself, recent investiga.
tons have shown, retains very
closely the skull form of the ances-
tor common to both man and the
apes, while the anthropoids, the
Ares which most closely resemble
DAan, have departed farthest from
this type,"

RICH 7 Of
CLAYTON
FOUGHT
Allegation Made at Hearing
for Ten-Cent Bus
Fare

Charge that the Washington
Rapid Transit Company has
loaned $4,000 to the Independent
Oil Company without the consent
Of the Public Utilities Commission
and in direct violation of the pub
lie utilities law was made today
by William Nick. Clayton at the
hearing held by the Utilities Com
mission for a 10-cent bus fare
held in the board room Of the Dis
trict Building.
Prior to- the development of this
charge by Mr.. Clayton, his right to
fight the petition Of the Transit
Company on behalf of the Fedora
ton of Citizens Association was
challenged by Leon Arnold, pres
ident of the bus company and H.
w. Lynn, representing the South
east Citizens Association.
Mr.. Clayton however. satisfied the
commission that he was directed
by the federation to oppose rate
increase.
President Arnold declined during
the hearing to answer any OF Nj.
Clayton's questions on the grounds
that he was not properly author
lied to represent the federation at
the hearing.
Mr.. Clayton, however, satisfied the
there was q movement on loot 10
eliminate him from participating
in the fight against the Increased
fare. He said the federation, by
unanimous vote, had directed him
to appear at the bus hearing.
COmpany's Earnings Cited.
Earl V. Fisher, executive secre-
tarv of the Public Utilities Com
mission, testified that during the
first seven months of this year the
bus company's total operative IN
come was $2O1, O91.38. He said the
expenses were $196,159.56, net cor.
porate income $17,596, which is a
raAurn of 1886 per cent on the
cNa.pany's investment of $223,949.
NJ. Fisher said that If straight
1O,~nt fare had been in effect dur
ing these seven months the COM
pany would have made a return of
% per cent on it's investment.
Company officials presented fig.
ures showing that the present fare
of three tickets for a quarter was
inadequate and urged straight
decent fare.
The company presented cards
signed by hundreds of its patrons
who approved the company's re.
quest for a higher fare.
