TIDAL BASIN PICKED
AS MEMORIAL SITE
Location Is Chosen Tenta-
lively by Roosevelt
Association.

Although the exact spot where the
proposed Roosevelt Memorial cannot
of course, be determined until the
plans and specifications of it are sub
mitted to Congress, the tentative site
that is being reserved for one year
under act of Congress is at a spot
on the Tidal Basin where the bath
ing beach was located. The center
Is where a line drawn extending
sixteenth street south would inter
sect line continuing Maryland
avenue in a southwestern direction.
The plans of 1901 for the treatment
or the section south of the White
House provided for elaborate changes
or the Tidal Basin, or Twining Lake,
as IL IS also known. A part of the
bas1n was to be filled in, and its
present shore line changed materially
by dredging.
There are Ill acres of water sur
face in the Tidal Basin, and this is
considered necessary, for sanitary
reasons, for flushing out the Wash
lngton harbor and channel where
the docks are located. Any filing in
or the basin incident to the conStruc-
tion of the Roosevelt Memorial, ac-
cording to those informed on the sub
Ject, will necessarily involve further
dredging and cutting away of the
shore line SO that an equal amount
OF water may be impounded every IL
hours, or on each flood tide.
While nothing seems to be known
vet just what form the memorial
viii take, nevertheless that it is to
pe OF gigantic proportions may be
adJudged from the fact that the
Roosevelt Memorial Association has
asked for architects, sculptors and
Landscape designers to participate in
the competition for the work.
According to the act reserving the
site, the plans and specifications must
be submitted to Congress by January
l next.

NEW SALEM
MAN TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE

"Melancholia" was found to have
prompted the suicide Of Otto Sorge,
SO, pioneer farmer living l2 miles
north of New Salem in the Blue
Grass district, by drinking deadly
potion of formaldehyde.
Sorge had been subject to fits Of
melancholia for several months past.
Although he had an excellent crop on
his fine farm and was not in finan-
cial difficulties, his health had not
been of the best. Sunday morning he
left his farm home and failed to re-
turn for four or five hours. When
he did stagger to the farm house he
was in a critical condition and could
not talk to members of his family.
DR.. Gaebe was summoned from
New Salem, but the man was beyond
help. He had taken an unusually
large amount of formaldehyde, it
was indicated by mute evidenccs-a
broken package, water, etc, left in
the granary where he had mixed the
potion and taken it.
Mr.. Sorge died at 10 o'clock yes
terday morning after intense suffer
ing since Sunday.
Coroner John X. Kennedy of Nor
ton county investigated the case and
issued !; death certificate of death
due to suicide.
Mr.. Sorge had been a resident OF
the New Salem district for nearly 20
years. His wife and number Of
children survive. Funeral services
will be held Thursday.

Agnes Ayres, motion picture star, in
suit for $4,000 for asserted breach
of contract started by the actress
against the Producers Distributing
Corporation.
She declares that company obtained
n assignment Of her services from
the Peninsula studios and has failed
to avail itself of them, greatly to
her damage.
The contract was made last Sep
tember and was for three pictures,
Miss Ayres declares. The first was
finished early in March and March
IS, she said, she was ready to start
the second. On March 20, she said,
the contract was assigned to the
w. w. Hodkinson Company, now
known as the Producers Distriout-
ing Corporation, but neither of the
other pictures has been started.
To get her to consent to the trans
fer. she asserts, Cecil b. De Mile
and F. C. Monroe of the Producers
concern, promised to star her in a
better grade of pictures, but instead
have kept her idle.
Miss Ayres was to receive $1O,-
600 for each picture. She has re-
ceived $4,000 on account of the sec
ond, she says, and nothing for the
third. Because she has not been
kept before the public she has suffer-
ed $4,000 damages, she contends, a
total of $4,000. Miss Ayres also
complains that instead of starring
her alone. as the contract called for,
they have cofeatured her name with
an "actor of no prominence"

task Of preparing the record of the
conviction Of the "a year old school

ed to pay a fine Of 500 the scene
shifted from Dayton to Knoxville

POWERS REACH
AGREEMENT ON
CHINA PROBLEM

Washington, July 22.-tP)-Sub-
stantial accord has been reached by
the powers on formula to deal with
the whole Chinese problem. Formal
acquiesence in some elements of the
program still is lacking but the
Peking diplomats are expected to be
in a position to submit the formula
to the provisional government of
China at an early date.
The settlement to be proposed will
include the Washington conference
plan for revision of Chinese customs
and creation Of commission of in
quiry into extra territorial questions; !;
and also the British proposal for a
new judicial inquiry into the respon-
sibility for loss of lives in the recent
Shanghai rioting.
The plan for dealing with the
Shanghai incident, is expected to be
contingent upon participation by the
Peking government in the extra ter
ritorial inquiry, and agreement by
that government to be bound by the
findings of the investigation.

other month before the plan. which
it was at first hoped could be put
in operation by August /. can be fair

porting this prediction is the fact
that the several hundred employees at
prohibition headquarters who are to
lose their jobs in the reorganization
have not as yet received the required

Selection of the federal admins
traitors apparently was the one big
task confronting officials today, for
announcement was made that the re-

alcohol had been completed. The de-

was working to determine the exact
