FOES OF ROW HOUSES
FIGHT ZONE CHANGES
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Adopt Resolution-New
School Urged.

Opposition to any change in the
coming of streets bordering on upper
Rhode Island avenue northeast so as
to permit the building of so-called
row houses was voiced in a resolution
adopted by the Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Association at a meeting in
the Sherwood Presbyterian Church
Sunday School Hall last night. 1t
was pointed out that a. large tract of
land recently had been purchased in
the vicinity by real estate company
and fear was expressed that the COM
pany might be contemplating the
erection of row houses.
A resolution. calling for the replace
ment of the Langdon School with a
more modern and fireproof structure
was referred to the school committee.
The resolution was introduced by Mrs.
]. w. Byler.
Dissatisfaction was expressed by
several members of the association
over receiving communications from
the District engineers office calling
upon the former to plug up their rear
area drains leading into the main
sewer
The rear area drains. it was pointed
out at the meeting, are for draining
the cellars, and, in some cases.. the
back yards of houses, and were de-
clared to be essential. The request
to have them plugged up was due to
the main sewers being overtaxed be-
cause of the water coming from the
former, 1t was stated. The matter
was referred to the committee on
sewers and water for investigation.

DR.. Yam Fleets Cro,oning Success
In Rose Culture Named for WidO,U
Pink RugOSd, Immune to Disease and Hardy in
Northern Sections, Finally Developed, But
Originator Failed to Lire to See 1t.

The Department of Agriculture
will deliver to the American Rose So
ciety for distribution this Fall one of
the most remarkable new roses yet
developed. 1t has been rescued from
the considerable assortment of hybrids
left at the Bell, Nd, experimental
farm by DIR. w. Van Fleet at the
time of his death four years ago.

The new rose is a pink rugosa, a
Japanese bush rose type, many mem
bers of which now are planted in
patches about the Speedway. But it
bears a double blossom and blooms
through the entire Summer very
freely, making 1t probably the only
truly everblooming tall bush rose. 1t
grows about seven feet high and has
a 10-foot spread .-.-
The rugosa type Is practically i'm
mune to disease and is hardy in the
most northern locations in the United
states. Thus 1t practically assures
cut flowers for the garden even in
northern New England and Minnesota

A caravan of. sorrow, laden with
floral tribute, moved beneath the
shadow of the Alleghenies bearing the
body of William Jennings Bryan to
Washington.
Although the early morning hours
had th:nned the ranks of those who
the iron wheels clicked dim forms of
reverent silent admirers whisked past
as the train rumbled through small
Virginia towns.
These faithful few through the long
hours of the night had awaited the
distant whistle of the locomotive,
braveipg the chill of the mountains to
catch but a fleeting glimpse of the OBJ
servation coach as it whirled onward
with the remains of him who to them
was the modern defender of the faith.
They strained eagerly forward to
receive only a vision of the mass of
flowers which concealed the bronze
casket. Save for the one lighted
coach with it's significant burden, the
train was in darkness.
At Roanoke several hundred per-
sons waited to see the car. Lateness
of the hour prevented them from
coming aboard, although several

At Pulaski hundreds grouped in the
neighborhood of the station and stood
with uncovered heads as the train
rumbled past, while each small vii
lage through the Aileghenies brought
it's quota to watch through the night
for the passage of the caravan.
Mrs. Bryan retired shortly after 8
o'clock, worn with the strenuous ac-
tivities Of the past several days. Last
night she signified her approval of
plans for the body to lie in state here
at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church from noon today to noon Fri
day.
Hundreds of persons were admitted
to the coach at Chattanooga and
Knoxville.
AS the train rolled through the
mountains into Virginia the tracks
were lined with hatless hundreds.
