Locating the Market Center.

Consideration is being given at
present TO the question of the site
for the public market center. which
is to be established in replacement OF
that now located in the heart OF the
city, bordering on the Mall. Several
locations have been proposed, one of
them being the area known as the
Patterson tract in the northeast Sec
ton.
In support of this proposal it
is urged that a large area is avail.
able lying adjacent to tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Against
it is urged the consideration that this
tract of land is held in contemplation
as a public park of the future. Fur
thermore, the proposed market would
adjoin the Columbia Institution for
the Deaf and constitute a nuisance
to that establishment. But another
and practical consideration has not
been particularly noted, and deserves
to be weighed. 1t Is doubtful whether
the supposed contiguity to the rail-
road tracks would be of any value.
The land lies to the southeast of the
railroad terminal "Y." The line on
that side adjacent to the terminal con-
sists of the passenger tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsyl-
vania railroads, which are not used
for freight. The freight tracks of
the Baltimore and Ohio lie beyond
the passenger tracks. There Is no way
short of the construction of spurs
from far beyond the city for freight
cars to be brought into or upon the
borders of the proposed market Gen.
ter.
If the Patterson tract is ever to be
used for a park, and there is reason
to believe that it will eventually be
so taken, to give that section of the
city a recreation space, which it now
lacks and needs, it must not be &C.
cupied for market purposes. To use
it at present as a market center
would destroy its value as a future
park. 1t could never be transformed,
save into bare stretch with newly
planted foliage, whereas now it pos
sesses natural attractions.
The primary consideration in the
establishment of a market center Is
public convenience. At what point
will the people who use it be most
generally accommodated? Is it de.
sirable or necessary that 1t should
be within the business section? The
majority of those using public
market such as that centering around
Ninth street and Louisiana avenue,
the area that is now or soon to be
swept clear of all food vending es-
adjustments, employ vehicles for the
transport of their purchases. Deliver
les are made by most of the retailers
and all the wholesalers, save the
farmers, whose market is to be the
first to go from its present location.
No matter where the location, there
will be objections, both from neigh
bors and from users. The pub
lie convenience Is mainly to be con-
suited. Considerations Of access by
farmers, by shippers and by custom.
ers are to be of primary Importance.
But as in the case Of the Patterson
tract, as already noted, the matter of
rail transportation should be most
carefully studied, with view to ex-
listing conditions that cannot be al
tered.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

Why Wonder at Crime?
The crime that made us grimly gasp
With feelings very queer,
Ere long is dropped from memory's
grasp
AS other crimes appear.
A safe is robbed. A gun man kills.
Absconders go their way
WHY do such old events bring thrills?
They happen every day!
They tell us life's fieeting show.
The crooks bad actors are,
Who struggle for the spotlight glow.
Each wants to be star.
The same old scenes they play. as
when
The heather first did rage,
It's old material by new men
On life's eternal stage.

Ethereal Speculation.

While journeying through the clouds

And hitch our wagon to a star.

Harris Testifies
Ed Harris, former part owner of
the ranch adjoining that of Fall at
Three Rivers, New Mexico, testi-
fled that Fall bought the ranch in
December, 1921, paying $4,000 cash
to bind the bargain. The payment
was made in 800 bills in two $1,000
packets The remainder of the $4,000
purchase price was paid in checks.
Defense attorney Hogan said yes
terday that Fall wanted TO get a
water supply source which was not
taken by the Harris ranch, and not
having the money, borrowed it from
Doheny, writing out demand note
and asked for cash because the
banks in that section were not large
enough to handle large sums When
the money was brought to Fall by
Doheny's son, in a black satchel, the
latter said Mr. Secretary, you have
not fixed the interest rate"
Fall replied: Ed. your father did
not state the interest rate and ] do
not want to dictate but if there is
none in this state. | will bear any

The application to the Power Com
mission covers virtually every size

5ucluded in it are eight creeks and
lakes Oh Revillagigedo Island and

small projects already exist on one
unit of this consolidation both on
Beaver Falls Creek and Silvis Lake

other by f. w. Silvis for the opera

are minor projects, Mr.. Flory said,
and would be taken care Of admins

The consolidation of this group Of
