The Arlington Memorial Bridge
Commission, of which President Cool
idge is chairman, will shortly deter
mine what use shall be made of the
historic block of stone cut and de-
signed by the StonecutterS of this
city as the corner stone of the Airing
ton Memorial Bridge and dedicated to
that use at the thirty-sixth annual
encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic, held in this city October
2, 1902. The memorial bridge project
was indorsed with greath enthusiasm
at that time and Congress authorized
a survey of the proposed site, but it
was not until this year that actual
construction of the bridge itself was
authorized.
Uneventful Career.
During the intervening period the
old corner stone has had an unevent-
full career. From the year 1902 until
the Spring Of 1913 it occupied a
somewhat conspicuous position at the
northeast corner of Pennsylvania
avenue and Madison place, directly op-
posite the more ornate statue of Gen.
Lafayette. Its former site now IS oc-
cupied by the Treasury Annex. 1t
was the construction of that big
granite building that caused the trans
fer of the humble bridge corner stone
in April, 1918. to a remote section of
West Potomac Park, where it has re-
posed in solitary grandeur ever since.
It stands at the extreme northern
edge of the park. just off what former
ly was Water street, and on the un-
opened line of Twenty-f1fth street. a
little to the south and west Of the
Naval Medical Hospital, on what for
merly was Observatory Hill. 1t is a
most secluded place off the regular
line Of heavy traffic on B and Twenty
sixth streets nearby. Its presence is
practically unknown except to the
men employed in the frame wards
south of the main Naval Hospital
Building. 1t stands in plain view,
however, from Water street, in a fine
grove Of Carolina poplars. partly
surrounded bv the ruins of what once
was an ornamental iron post-and-chain
fence.
The corner stone itself is a square
block of the finest sandstone, about
6 feet in diameter. 1t was specially
cut and inscribed by expert stone
cutters in this city for the purpose to
which it was formally dedicated %
years ago. Notwithstanding it's long
exposure to the elements it is still

Ingram said:

running faster than the submarine.
The S-51 started to swing to starboard
and before she was well started, the
City of Rome swung hard starboard
and struck her slapping blow"
William c. Wilson, another Navy
diver, corroborated Ingram's testi-
mony. He was unable to say how the
collision occurred, he testified, because
he had not inspected the hole made
by the steamer in the submarine S

buckled place on the starboard side

vessels crashed. The inquiry was then

DURANT REPORTED
BUYING IN G. M. c.
Seeking to Regain Control of
Corporation, Wall Street
Brokers Say.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 17.-The New
York Herald-Tribune will say tomor-
row that William c. Durant is at
tempting to buy his way back into
control of General Motors Corpora
ton. according to Wall Street reports.
Brokers who professed some knowl-
edge of the Durant operations are
quoted as saying that he has been a
steady buyer of General Motors stocks
for more than six months, during
which time It's price has advanced
from low for the year of CAS- to to-
days high mark of 1877.
Durant began life as a grocery clerk,
but five years ago his net worth was
estimated at 100000. 900.
In his early years he came into
the control of a wagon manufactur-
ing enterprise. which later turned to
the manufacture of automobiles, and
which formed the nucleus of the cor
poration now called the General Mo.
tors Corporation.
Fifteen years ago General Motors
was pressed for cash, and this was
only through REIMBURSEMENT of con-
troll to the bankers who supplied it.
Durant left the organization then and
started the Chevrolet Company. Five
years later, by a financial coup, he
regained control of General Motors,
but lost it again through financial
difficulties in 1920, when control
passed to j. p. Morgan & Co.
and the Dupont family, where 1t has
remained until the present.
The last five years have been de-
voted by Durant to rehabilitating his
fortune.

An organized campaign to take the
Government out of the hotel busi-

For some months past the proposal
