President Tells Business Il
Has Nothing to Fear From
Government
81 GEORGE r. HOLMEs

Having assured organized bust
ness that. irrespective Of It's size,
lit has nothing to fear from his
administration so long as It travels
along the road Of public service,
President Coolidge returned to the
Capital today and started whipping
into shape the most important ad.
dress Of the year--his annual mes.
sage to Congress on the state OF the
nation.
The President came back from
New York well pleased with his
trip. His audience Of more than
d thousand leaders of so-called
big Business gave him an en-
thusiastic reception, and warmly
applauded his pledge to keep the
Government out of business so long
as business keeps out Of the Gov
eminent
THE present generation Of bust
ness has shown every disposition
to correct its own abuses with as
little intervention Of the Govern
ment as possible" said Mr.. Cool
idge.. This compliment to the
directing heads OF great industries
in his audience was enormously
applauded.
Mr.. Coolidge purpOsely refrained
from any extended review of ma.
tional or International questions in
his address, preferring to reserve
this for communication to Congress
two weeks hence.
He did, however, renew his en-
dorsement OF the world court, point
ing out that the rapid expansion
Of American financial interests
abroad constitute accommodating
reasons for our adherence to the
permanent court OF international
justice.
To the scores Of bankers in his
audience, the President delivered q
message of commentator and Of
warning. He commended their viii.

abroad, characterizing this az one

In his report, Mitchell also fatty
charged The navy actually tried
to prevent our sinking Of the Ost-
friedland."
The Ostfriedland, a captured Ger.
man cruiser, was used as a target.
Mitchell also set forth that the
pilots were ordered to bomb at

Mitchell's report was called for
when Patrick asked. for an ex-

Mitchell had said: 1.-THE army and

What is probably the finest collec-
ton of roses in Washington is bios
somlng today on two-aCre plot
which three years ago was a tangle
of locusts, blackberry bushes and
weeds.
On this ground, composed of sew
eral house lots, at Kirke street and
Brookville road, Chevy Chase, Whit
man Cross has planted 500 bushes,
comprising $50 varieties of roses
Some OF these bushes are rare and
new varieties not otherwise repre-
sented in Washington.
Mr.. Cross is experimenting. A rose
lover, he is seeking to determine just
what varieties do best in the climate
of Washington, and he already has
discarded more than 40 varieties
which did not come up to his ideals.
He is trying out here the best prod
ucts of the great European rose
hybridizers
In his collection are probably the
only specimens in Washington of the
new roses of Peter Lambert, the great
German specialist, as we'll as the
hybrid Sweetbriar roses produced by
Lord Penzance by crosses on the wild
eglantine of England. These latter
NIL the garden with fragrance from
leaves are wet with dew or rain.
Made in Two Years.
The garden, produced in little mora
than two years, is an artistic triumph
for Mr.. and Mrs. Cross Both have
spared no effort to make their grounds
one of the show places of Washington,
although there has been little attempt
at formal landscaping. They have
followed a pre-conceived plan.
The first year was spent almost en-
tirely in getting the ground in shape
It looked like a hopeless task when
he first looked upon the jungle-like
mass of unsightly bushes which he
must clear away, Mr.. Cross said. The
next year, however, the ground was
ready for planting and this Summer
represents the ideal well on the way
to its consumation.
Among the rare roses which Mr.
Cross has included in his collection
are: the xanthina, a Chinese wild
rose somewhat like well-known hug
onis, but which makes a more shapeIy
bush; The Marie-Jeanne, a hybrid
multifora; the Shiller, Schubert and
Lesstng, thick-growing bush roses
which bear throughout the Summer
clusters of small blossoms of differ
ent colors: the rugosa alba repens,
sport of the rugosa alba, which,
however, trails the ground and pro-
duces large, white single blooms;
bush of the original multif1ora, the
Japanese rose from which most of
the popular climbing roses are de-
Ecendants; the Pax and Thisbe roses,
originated in England by Rev. Joseph
PeInberton and very little known in
this country; four or five varieties
of hybrid .sweetbriars as we'll as
the original eglantine itself. Among
his roses are some which are not
yet in the hands of the dealers,
especially collection of a type just
originated by Capt. George H. Thorn
