PLAN BEING DRAWN
Harbor Project Does Not Pro-
vide for Great CONNER
ciaI Expansion.

Although terminal and transfer
facilities along Washington's water
front are considered inadequate by
Army engineers, there is not now a
commercial justification for great ex-
pansion, and d waterfront plan en-
barked upon at present should be con-
fined almost solely to cleaning up and
identifying the city's harbor.
Holding these opinions. surveyors
and craftsmen in the Office of the Dis.
tr1ct engineer are now at work on
plans which will not provide for great
commercial expansion, but will out
line co-ordinated plan which will
tie In, west and north, with the Po-
tomac Park development and on the
east and south with the proposed ex-
tension of the Capitol grounds down

ferences with civic leaders interested

NEW YORK SOCIETY
HERE FL0UR|SHES
Empire State Group, Among
Youngest, Includes Many
Notable Members.
BY MARGARET Il. DOWNING.

The Empire State has in the local
sense a society entirely comparable
to its fame in every activity, and as
this organization is one OF the most
recently formed of the Al bodies or a
similar character. il is also one of the
most compact and highly successful OF
the group New York. one OF the 10
original States, which has been rep
resented in the Federal territory ana
in the most important sense ever
since it was the Capital, has mad
many different organized bodies,
mostly political in nature, ana some
times literary and social. The pres
ent flourishing state society dates
from May 5. 1920, when more than
100 loyal and enthusiastic New
Workers gathered in the Wilson Nor
NAL School and effected an organlza-
ton.
OF so recent an origin. the New
York society had the advantage OF
studying older State groups and OF
embodying their best points. Inc
result is eminentlY satisfactory. FOR
instance, the New Workers hold their
annual meeting in April after their
seasons activities are ended and
thus they do not break into the
amenities of the Winter with
change of horses while crossing the
stream, so TO speak. The officers
elected in April conduct all the func-
lions of the following season and the
program is carefully prepared in the
early Autumn. all dates are an
nounced and details are given.
Three Meetings Held.
Three meetings have been already
held under brilliant conditions, the
first being a merry Allhallow eve
party given in the large ballroom of
the New Willard on october 81, at
which there was a general reunion OF
old and new members, and the young
people were principally considered.
On October I members of the con-
gressional delegation were the guests
and the newly elected Representa-
tives in the House We're presented for
the first time to resident New York
ers. These were Andrew L. Somers of
Brooklyn, Frederick NJ. Davenport of
Clinton, Marcourt ]. Pratt of High
land ThaddeuS G. Sweet of Phoenix
and Harold S. Tolley of Binghampton.
The event on January ID had ASSo-
ciate Justice Harlan Fiske Stone as
guest of honor.
There will be a reception followed by
a buffet supper and dancing In the
large ballroom of the New Willard on
February r. which is Lincoln's birth
day and a holiday in New York State.
This will be the most imposing func-
ton of the present season, and Will be
attended by the scores of distinguished

Miss Black was of the original group

Every one recalls that the New York
State Society lost its first president.
A. G.. Buchler Of Ithaca, in the Knick-
erbocker disaster. He had served for
two years. and had entered on his
third term when he became a victim
in Washington's most appalling
catastrophe.
Besides these officers. the society
elects annually a board of trustees,
which supervises all its activities.
The present members are George II.

ization, the New Workers have care
fully refrained from any sort of activ

complexion and they have taken no
part in the general movement among
the State societies in behalf of the ab-
sentee voters. But they have a well
fare department and one of their
chief labors is in behalf Of the invalid

The Washington channel is the one
on which the Army engineers are
working at present, preparing plans
for consideration of the Fine Arts
Commission at it's meeting on Feb

along South Capitol street, forming
part of the great boulevard system
Of the Capital. The engineers point
out that If ever Washington develops
