it is not expected that the National
Press Club will move from its present
quarters in the Albee Building until
about October.
The hope for a great club quarters
was raised almost coincidently with
the organization of the club here in
1908, and with the growth of the
membership the idea took more def
mite form. Starting with a roster of
about so members. the club now has
on it's rolls nearly 1900, including
many national and international
figures, including Presidents and
other officials as well as newspaper

The Districts coming ordinance,
which has now been in effect for seven
years, has had tremendous and far
reaching influence in directing the de-
vclopment Of the National Capital, ac-
cording to 1Iarland Bartholomew, ma
tionally known city planner Of St.
Louis and coauthor OF the coming
law.
Mr.. BarthoIOmew's study of results
OF seven years Of coming has produced
some rather significant and interesting
facts about the growth of building ac-
cOmmodations. which are these:
Row house construction has been re-
duced by more than Onehalf
Detached house construction has
more than doubled.
detached house construction
has nearly doubled.
Apartment house construction has
more than trebled. This IS due, he be-
lieves. more to economic causes than
to coming.

City Unbalanced by Growth.

The growth of Washington in these
seven years of coming, in Mr.. Barth-
olomew's opinion. has unbalanced the
city because of the pressure north ana
northwest. He believes that the time
has come when better balancing OF
growth should be forced by coming.
This means, in fact, the restriction of
speculative building Of the multi-type
family type house in the north and
northwest and it's facilitation and en-
couragement eastward.
The area east of the Anacostia
River. Mr.. bartholomew points out.
is the largest available for the row
house type of building.
The sudden invasion of the areas
reserved for detached houses by what
he describes as the objectionable"
type of semi-detached house, Mr..
Bartholomew declared is an indication
of one of the structural weaknesses in
the coming ordinance.
A second structural weakness of the
present law, according to the city
planner, is it's dependence upon a
percentage of lot area regulation in
place of population density to pro-

GALES AGREES
 WITH COOLIDGE
Mexican President Encouraged
 by New York Speech

1 Mexico City. April 27 P,-Presi- dent Gales believes that "the road ! mas HOW been opened for q satis- factory settlement Of all difficult ties' between Mexico and the nited States. He emphasized this in commenting last night on Pres ident Coolidge's New York speech. The bottom of all the difficulties, there is nothing more than a mis-
 understanding or divergence Of
 judgment in appreciating a matter
 of legal order, which really had not
 affected the legitimate interests,
 nor. fortunately. injured the senti-
 m"nt of the nation, nor brought any injury 10 our decorum."
 General Gales has no desire that the MeXican-American controversy shall be settled by arbitration, say. ing. Tt appears to us perfectly satisfactorily that such settlement should be obtained by means Of negotiations, which would have the advantage of not injuring the sov- or"lGnty of the country, as it would by submitting to arbitration diff crltIcs cnlanating from our consti- tuition and our laws"

 where Hickman is employed on a farm. and brought him 10 the shirt

She said she had mem tioned 1t when she made the com plaint to the police soon after the incident.
 Judge Mangan told Judge Hunger ford the young man insists he is in 1 nocent. There is always the possi lility of mistaken identity, Judge Nanean said. even though the states their ground. Although 1t has no bearing on the guilt or innocence of he young man, Judge Mangan said his mother is suffering greatly as 'asult of his difficulty. and his 'ather. who's. health has not been good for two years, is also to be litied.
 Judge Hungerford said he believed Iolzmar guilty. He has been out 'f the reformatory only short ime and it appeared that he should ,a sent back. The fact that the snatcher mentioned to he young woman that he was re- 'cntly in the reformatory was sig lifican', Judge Hungerford said.
