added that Maryland was having some
zoning troubles in Baltimore at this
time, where the zoning law has been
ruled unconstitutional by the State
courts. 1t is very likely that the
same problems would have to be faced
in the sanitary district should a zon-
ing law be passed there, but such
problems would have to be worked
out by the proposed regional com
mittee.
Gov. Ritchie was of the opinion that
IT would not be necessary to await
action of the Legislature for the ap-
pointment of a committee to represent
Maryland on the regional planning
board, and indicated that such a COM
mittee should be appointed promptly
SO that the work can go forward with
out delay. Such a committee, he said
he would be willing to appoint as soon
as the matter is taken up officially
with him by the people directly con
cerned in the matter. He indicated that
he would do anything that the people
wanted in order to foster the move
ment. If any new laws are required.
then the matter could go to the Legis-
lature for such action as 1t see fit.
Way for Project Clear.
This indication on the part Of Gov.
Ritchie to give his aid and official
support in the movement for plan
ming for the proposed metropolitan
area, with the National Capital as a
center. completes the way for the
project to move forward. Gov. z.
Lee Trinkle of Virginia several weeks
ago indicated that he was ready to
take action as soon as he was ap-
preached, and the Arlington County
Federation last week forwarded q pc
tition to him asking for the appoint
ment of the official committee to serve
on the regional planning board, and
action is expected shortly on this
petition. Following this it is expected
that the Maryland representatives,
headed by Maj f. Brooke Lee, Sec
retary of State of Maryland, and one
OF the big factors in the movement,
will seek an appointment of such a
committee by Gov. Ritchie.
1t is expected that this week the
special committee appointed at a
meeting several weeks ago to plan
for the central meeting to be held
in the Interior Department audi.
torium in Washington will hold
meeting to discuss the plans. This
committee consists of Maj. Z. Brooke
Lee of Silver Spring, Md: T. How
ard Duckett, Hyattsville, Md. chair
man of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission; r. Z. Plymale
and Arthur Orr, representing the Ar
lington County Civic Federation.

Except for a tall cross of wood, the
grave site remained unmarked until

MEMORY

Solemn tribute to the memory Of
Maj. Pierre Charles L'Enfant, city
planner of Washington, was paid by
present day city planners today on

Riggs, who now owns the estates and
arranged the ceremonies today. Fol
lowing the mass in the chapel, the
party inspected the site of the grave
of LEnfant, where his remains laid
until 1909, when they were removed
and reinterred in Arlington National
Cemetery.

Japanese in Harmony.

The Japanese, for their own reasons,
are working in harmony with the
United States and in favor of calling
the proposed commission into action.
1t is said the japanese would, in the
end, benefit commercially by a with
drawal of extraterritorial rights from
all powers, because If European and
American business men withdrew be.
cause of the risks involved. the
Japanese would be near enough to
reap the benefits thereof.
On the whole, the problem is going
to take several weeks, If not months,
to work out, but the assurance may
be given on the highest authority to-
day that Great Britain recognizes the
merit of the American contention. and
is prepared to appoint a member to
the commission, with the proviso, of
course, that she reserves decision as
to whether the recommendations
made will be accepted.
incidentally, the American Govern.
ment intends to appoint John ". A.
MacMurray, American Minister to
China, and Silas Strawn of Chicago
as members of the special customs
conference to be called at Peking as
well as of the proposed commission
to study extra .territoriality.

China Needed Delay.

China declared her willingness to CO.
operate, but found it necessary to ask
for delay In the meeting of the COM
mission for one year. This was grant
ed by all the powers, but when Rn
effort was made to fix another date
for a meeting France declined to act.
At that time the French had difficult
ties over the payment of the Boxer
indemnity in gold instead of paper
francs and the Paris government
would not cooperate till the contro-
versy was settled. When the French
cleared up the matter and went
ahead last week with the ratification
of pending Far Eastern treaties, the
way was paved for a conference.
Then it was Great Britain's turn
to express herself on the unwisdom
of calling the commission together.
1t was argued that such a move
might appear in the light Of existing
events in China as a step coercing the
powers into action. 1t was pointed
out also that a resolution Is simply a
declaration of purpose and not a bind
ing obligation.
The American Department of State
replied that the resolution was a SOL
emn pledge and that in treaties as
far back as 1902, other powers had
pledged themselves to consider the
withdrawal of extra-territorial rights.
The United States also took into con-
sideration that disturbed conditions in
China might make it necessary for the
withdrawal to be gradual, dependent
on the ability of the Chinese govern

Frank W. Carter was appointed to

There was some talk of lack of in.

hard work necessary on the part of
those in charge to put such an event
across. 1t was decided that now was
no time to stop when the Fair was
but a month off, so all agreed that
we should put full steam on and
make the FAIR a SUCCESS.

Farmers & Merchants
Bank Is Recognizing
UNLIMITED CONFIDENCE PLACED
IN oFFICIALS-EXPEcT TO
OPEN NEXT WEEK

At meeting Of the directors and
stockholders OF the Farmers 4 Mer
chants State Bank, held last Thursday
evening, a definite statement of the
condition Of the bank was given, show
ing it to be holding about $22 90
in what in banking terms, are known
as frozen assets" in loans, upon
which some return may reasonably
be expected in time. An apparent
shortage in cash and accounts, exists
of approximately, $27,OOO.OO, that may
when fully traced not prove total
loss. 1t was decided to reorganize the
bank with capitalization of $25 900
with shares selling at $4,000 each
and in that way fully protect all de
positors
Thursday morning it was stated by
bank officials that SAG, 100000 in new
shares had been sold and that I'M
doubtedly, the bank would reopen for
business before the end of next week.
Under this reorganization, the bank
will be on stronger basis than before
as the surplus will be greater. The
officials in charge, have in mind two
experienced cashiers, one of whom
will be engaged at the next meeting
OF the stockholders and can assume
his duties on "a hours notice.
A stockholders meeting will be call
ed Immediately as soon as all stock
is sold, for the purpose of electing a
new board of directors and making
plans for the resumption of business
1t may truthfully be said that al
though, the closing of the bank dur
ing the investigation caused consider
able Inconvenience to depositors and
others who transacted business thru
the bank, at no time, was it feared
that there would be any loss borne by
its patrons, or that it would not be
able to resume business, owing to the
confidence felt in the business men of
Eagle River who were on the board of
directors, and responsible above all
others for any losses that might be
sustained. The fact that less than
$5,OOOOO remains to be sold of new
stock after less than weeks canvas,
amply demonstrates the confidence
felt and is a guarantee of the bank
future success as a needed institution
of the village of Eagle River and Of
large radius of Villas county.

him as its standard bearer. He was
the choice of his party three times in

In 1912, he was credited with having
