cut avenue northwest with view
to removing center trolley poles
to the sides of the avenue.

Commissioners, to make q study
Of the situation on the avenue and
to confer with officials Of the
Capital Traction Company.
The company has indicated its
willingness to remove the center
poles.
Cost PrOhibitive
Commissioner Bell expressed the
hope today that in the near future
there would be underground SON
struction on Connecticut avenue.
He does not think it possible now
because of the cost.

Reverend John Callaghan. Of st.

for Mr.. Macias.
The exact cause OF the accident
is still unknown. The theory that
the steering wheel on Thayer's car
bucEled was not borne out by an
investigation, which showed the
steering apparatus intact.
The Connecticut Avenue Citizens
Association passed a resolution
last night declaring that If its plea
for a new bridge had been needed,
the tragedy might have been
averted.
Replacement of the bridge was
again urged last night. The asso-
citation also advocated removal of
trolley poles from the center of
Connecticut avenue.

Since the beginning we have had
numerous reasons to grieve at the ur-
hesitating procedure of time. Too Of

tom death and too often it leaves us
with a vacancy almost impossible to
fill.

Until the time of his death his wife
and son were at his bedside.
Born in Mississippi he has made
his life most colorful as a politician.
He was educated in the public schools
and later moved to Chicago. He
Travelled extensively from this point
and finally settled down in Cincinnati
where he became identified with
George 3. Cox, prominent Republi-
can.
He has always been an ardent stu
dent end many Of his leisure hours
he spent in the study Of the Bible.
His offices and appointments havs
been responsible and numerous and
to all these he gave the best that
was in him to an advantageous end.
In 1918, Mr.. Hamilton was elected
clerk of city council and in this office
he was active until 1921 when he re-
signed to accept the position of clerk
of county commissioners which office
he held until his death.
The immediate cause of his death
was diabetis, a sickness he has felt
