Washington. although frequently re-
ferred to as the city which grew up
on a distinct plan. has no city plan,
Col. Bell declared. 1t has zoning, and
it has a park system, but city plan
as such it has not, he said. Con
demning the lack of foresight which
has retarded proper development of
the territory in Virginia and Mary
land contiguous to the District boun-
daries, Col. Bell said he hoped to see
the benefits of Zoning extended TO
nearby points in those States, to
which the city inevitably will spread.
Col Bell reviewed the history of Wash
ington briefly from the time of the in
ception of the L'Enfant plan for the
development Of the Capital.

beauty out of a fat country, Mr..
Payne told the association that they
would ruin the native charm of the
country In and about the District of
Columbia by leveling hills and bring
ing everything down to a fiat, uninter'
esting panorama. He pleaded with his
audience to get behind a movement
to ARREST the tide Of destruction
which threatens to engulf the Capt.

Mr.. Payne compared Washington
to Mexico City, where the palace OF
Chapultepec stands over the city on a
beautiful boulevard. IF these gentle,
men had their way" he said, I'VE
should find the hill on which Chapul-
tepec stands fiattened out and its
beauty ruined. His address was re-
cevied with enthusiasm.
The beauties of Tegucigalpa. capi-
tai of Honduras, and San Salvador,
capital of Salvador, were described
by Senior Latour, the Guatemalan Min
lister, while DR.. Scott told the associa-
ton of the fundamental principles un.
derlying the Pan-American Union,
holding it up as one of the possible
pointers to world peace.
Senior Don Manuel c. TelleZ. the

A rehearing of the appeal in the Booth Fisheries Company trap case has been denied the government by the Circuit Court of Appeals of San Francisco The original trial was had at Juneau last year. The Booth Fisheries. Companly was tried on the charge of violating the new Alaska fisheries law in that it maintained a trap within 500 yards of the. mouth
 of mall,. unnamed stream at Lucky Cove, near Ketehikan. The jury. found the company guilty, and
 the ease WAS taken on appeal to the
 Circuit Court of Appeals. Recently the judgment in the case was re-
 versed by, that body, which held that the court had erred in instructing the jury ax TO the method of determining the mouth of stream. The appellate court held, in effect, that fby law the Secretary, of Commerce.w was directed to mark the mouths of salmon streams around which it desired to establish prohibited fishing areas. The government then. petitioned the
 Circuit Court. for reheanng of the
 case, which petition has been denied
 by the court, according to adviees re- ceiyed at Juneau.
