zONTA DELEGATES
VISIT WHITE HOUSE
Commissioner Dougherty Ex-
tends Official Welcome at
Opening Session.

Delegates to the Seventh Annual
Grafton of Zonta Clubs-representing
about 1000 woman members through
out the United States-were received
by President Coolidge at the White
House today at 1890 o'clock. They
were headed by Miss Louise c. Gerry
of Buffalo, president.
The delegates were welcomed Off
cially to Washington by Commissioner
Proctor +. Dougherty at the opening
business session in the Raleigh Hotel
today, beginning at $50 o'clock.
He recounted in part the history of
the DEVELOPMENT of Washington and
urged the delegates to remember the
celebration of National Flag week IN
June and the observance of the 200th
anniversary of the birth of George
WASHINGTON to be held in 1882.
Miss Jane Bartlett, president of the
Zonta Club of Washington. also de-
livered an address of welcome, in
which she emphasized the lack of the
vote here. Speaking directly to the
out-of-town delegates, she declared
that Washington as the Capital City
really belongs more to them than II
does to the members of the local club'
because non.residents of this city have
the right to vote.
Miss Harriet G. Richards, executive
secretary of the organization, reported
that six new Zonta clubs have been
formed in the past year, bringing the
total number up to Al. Mrs. kath'
crime B. Sears of Glen Falls, n. T.,
chairman of section A of the confeder-
alton: Mrs. Helen Innis Donnelly. New
York, chairman section B. and Miss
Nell G. Walrad of jamestown reported
general progress in their sections.
Others reporting were Mrs. Edlth =.
Salisbury of Washington, chairman OF
the credentials committee; Miss Lucy
r. Sheridan of Rochester, who pre-
sented the convention program; Miss
Eleanor Kerr of New York, chairman
of the finance committee, and Miss
Anna c. Grouse of Watertown, n. y,
treasurer.
Following the trip to the White
House, the delegates held luncheon
in the Willard Hotel, featured by a
program of music.
Reports of committee chairmen and
nomination of officers are features of
a business session being held in the
Willard Hotel this afternoon. A din
ner is to be held in the Raleigh Hotel
tonight at $50 o'clock. while at 8
o'clock tonight a reception will be
held in the Grace Dodge Hotel in
honor of the national officers and new
candidates for office.

they have eaten only bamboo leaves
and shoots out of DR.. Mann's hand,
but later on will be introduced to
other food.
Turtle Ugliest Animal.
A mata-mata turtle from the tropi-
cal jungles of Brazil. This creature
is described as the ugliest of all liv-
ing animals 1t is a true turtle, but
has all the wierd appearance of a
survival out of the age of reptiles
which has changed little. It's shell is
fringed with fearful and repulsive de
signs. 1t has a Snout nearly an inch
long which it sticks out of the water
to obtain air. This turtle lives a very
secluded life and seldom is captured.
A Blandings turtle from Missouri
one of the rarest of all North Ameri
can turtles There are now 40 species
of turtles at the Zoo, but lacks of a
reptile house make it impossible tt
put them on general exhibition. The
Zoo also is unable to exhibit with good
effect the valuable specimens oi
snakes, monitors and lizards which
recently have been added to the col
lection.
Besides these additions by purchase
and gift the following additions have
been made by birth:
A pelican, absolutely naked, be-
lieved to be one of the first of these
birds Matched in captivity.
A brood of Australian silver gulls
which are among the most valuable
birds in the Zoo.
Swan Hatching Expected.
The Australian black swan hen has
laid four eggs and now is setting on
them. The pair at the Zoo are the
only specimens of this bird in the
East.
Within the next few days a pair
of Galapagos turtles, ordered from
Holland, are expected. There are
four of similar species at the park
already, but these two probably are
the last which ever will be placed on
the market. These are the longest
lived of all animals. Marked speci-
mems are known to have survived 400
years and it is believed that even a
lifetime of a thousand years would
not be impossible. They also are the
largest of the turtle family. They are
confined to the desolate Galapagos
Islands off the coast of Ecuador, but
rapidly are becoming extinct.
DIR. William NJ. Mann, director of
the Zoo. believes that under proper
is, in house with a
quartz glass roof-these creatures
may be induced to breed in captivity
and thus preserve one of the most
curious of all the animal families.
There have been some suggestions for
establishing giant turtle breeding
station in Florida in the hope of pre-
serving the species.

REVISION OF ZONING RULES !.
URGED TO MOLD CAPITAL
HarIand Bartholomew Holds
Present Regulations
Are Inadequate.
Proposes Population Density
Restriction Instead of
Lot Area Curb.

A general revision of the coming
regulations in order more definitely
to mold the future city of Washing
ton was urged by Harland Bartholo-
NEW. nationally known city-planning
expert of St. Louis, at special meet
ing of the ZOning commission today
in the office Of Commissioner Proctor
l.. Doueherty.
Mr.. Bartholomew based his recon-
mendations on the results of com
prehensive study and analysis of the
effects Of seven years of coming in
the District.
Citing certain structural weaknesses S
in the present regulations, Mr.. Bar
:holomew made suggestions for REM
edying them, and pointed out that
steps TO apply these remedies should
be undertaken at once in view of the
close relation of Zoning to the
regional studies and other active city
planning work now under way in the
National Capital.
Five Recommendations Made.
Five outstanding recommendations
were made by the city planning eX-
pert They are:
1-Exclusion of semi-detached houses
from "A" restricted areas.
2-EXclusion of apartment houses
from "a" areas.
3-Creation of n new district for
modified form of row house.
Adoption of population density
regulation.
5-Creation of a zoning board of ap-
peals independent of the Zoning Com
mission.
The coming ordinance, Mr.. Barthol-
omew explained, has actually done
much to direct the growth of Wash
ington, but it is now about to face
the test as to whether it can and viii
actually mold the future city or de-
volve into an instrument of more or
less ineffective neighborhood regula-
ton, ignoring the larger aspects OF a
city-wide plan.
Calls Ordinance Weak.
"The sudden invasion of the "A re-
stricted areas by the Objectionable
type of i-detached house is an indi-
cation of structural weakness In the
Zoning ordinance" said Mr.. Bartholo-
NEW. 'It must be remembered that
the Washington zoning regulation is
similar 20 that of New York and was
adopted for the same reason, l.e., fear
that the courts would not sustain
single family or two-family residence
districts. There is but one residence
use district, which is divided into
numerous area districts.
"A second structural weakness of
the ordinance is it's dependence upon
a percentage of lot area regulation
in place of population density to pro-
vide adequate open space as in the
New York ordinance. Experience has
shown the weakness of this percent
age regulation. In Washington it has
had the surprising result of actually
reducing lot sizes. Where lots were
generally 50x120 formerly, they have
been reduced to 35 and 40 feet by 50
and 100 feet. A population density
regulation would remedy this situa-
ton. 1t would probably forestall an
other form of speculative activity
that has even worse potentialities for
injury to established detached houses,
Evening star., 1927-05-13

I. E., apartment houses in A area dis
tricts. A density regulation could
not be enacted, however, unless there
be an amendment of the act of Con.
gress."
Statistics recited by Mr.. Bartholo
new showed some significant facts
about the growth of Washington, due
to the effect of the Zoning ordnance
Chief among them were that row
house construction has been reduced
by more than half, detached house
construction has more than doubled
semi-detached house construction has
very nearly doubled and apartment
house construction has more than
trebled due probably he said more to
economic causes than to zoning.
The present population of Wash
ington. according to the city planner
actually occupies $500 acres for dwell
ing purposes. An interesting fact
brought out in this connection was
that the entire apartment house popu.
lation of $4,000 uses only .23S acres.
Mr.. Bartholomew also pointed out
that there are $500 acres of vacant
land in Washington. most of which
can be used for dwelling purposes. Of
this 5000 acres lie east of the Ana.
costa River. This land he said can
accommodate approximately 100000
additional population distributed ac
cording to the type of dwelling as per-
mitted under the coming ordinance.
Would Push East.
''The growth of Washington has
unbalanced the city because of the
pressure north and northwest" said
Mr.. Bartholomew. 1T is believed that
the time has come when better balanc-
ing of growth should be forced by
zoning. This means in fact the re.
striction of speculative building of
the multi-family type north and north.
west and its facilitatipn and en-
couragement eastward. The area
east of the Anacostia River is the
largest available area for the row.
house type of building. 1t has not
come strongly into the market, partly
because it has not the 'bon-ton' char.
acter of the north and northwest
partly because of lack of transporta.
ton. partly because of poor soil and
party because it is somewhat rugged
in character and does not lend itself
readily to speculative building of the
row-house type.
There should be decision at this
time on this large question of policy.
VIII the great volume of speculative
building be directed to the East or
are there more compelling reasons
Tor directing 1t to the Virginia areas
or possibly to the Northeast?
AS to the question regarding n
new district for a new type Of row
houses there is much to be said In
it's favor. If such building, say in
units of not to exceed eight single
family dwellings In a row with wider
side yards at the ends can be made
to supplant the row house it will be
a decidedly advantageous undertak.
ing. It's initiation, even as an expert.
ment, in the North or Northwest, is
questioned at this time, however,
until the larger questions Of policy
are decided"

whole plan and arrangement of the
| building will be changed, and, in ad-
dition, we will have some wonderful
opportunities in plain walls for archi-
tects to play with. Another influence
| is the discovery that the building OF
great overhanging cornices or terra
Gotta was a mistake. We now have
fiat bands Of ornamentation or re-
duced cornices as well as greater use
of stone. Still another factor is the
attitude of the press and the litera-
ture of the country, which is criti-
cising conventional work not only in
architecture but in the other arts and
is urging architects to create some
thing new. An outstanding example
of efforts in new design is the verti-
cality Of important buildings recently
erected"
Art Course Popular.
It was announced that art teachers
from a score of colleges will attend a
special intensive course in the fine
arts at Harvard University during the
coming year. The Harvard work will
be financed by grant of $4,000 from
the Carnegie Corporation, and will be
directed by William Emerson OF Bos-
ton, first vice president of the inst1-
tute. A gift of $4,000 to the Waid
educational fund of the institute, by
D. Everett Waid was also announced.
International activities of the insti-
tute are multiplying, according to a
report of the committee on foreign re-
lations, headed by William Emerson
of Boston. Cooperation has been ef-
fected with architectural exhibitions
in other countries, and the institute

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 13.-~The Russian
charge d'affaires. A. T.. Rosengloz,
and lodged a protest with the fore ign
Secretary. Sir Austen Chamberlain.
against the raid, based on incomplete
information, on ARGOS House, Soviet
foreign commissariat in London,
The Associated Press is authorita-
lively informed that the foreign of
flee was not connected with the raid
in any manner. but it is admitted that
clo-Russian diplomatic relations
may be affected in consequence of the
police action. Whether this effect
will be serious depends, first. upon
what the Scotland Yard search dis
closes and, second, how seriously the
Soviet government views the raid.
Foreign Office Statement.
The foreign office maintains that
the incident is not connected in any
manner with the raid on the Soviet
embassy compound in Peking and
was not based upon documents or in
formation found in the Pel<ing raid.
1t is insisted that the police action
was carried out in the ordinary man
ner; Scotland Yard, having certain in
formation in it's possession, asked for
a search warrant and obtained it.
The declaration is made at the for
eien office that ARGOS. Ltd, has no
diplomatic immunity or special priv
ileges in England. The head OF the
Soviet trade delegation, however, en-
ioys personal diplomatic immunity
Soviets Protest Quoted.
Charge Rosengolz's protest, which
was handed personally to Sir Austen
Chamberlain, asserts that the Scot
land Yard raiders violated the most
elemental guarantees and demands OF
common decency." The police are
alleged to have assaulted Soviet
employe, who refused to surrender
the key to the safe containing the
PERSONAL papers and cipher codes OF
M. Chinchuk, head of the Soviet
trade delegation.
The charge d'affaires protested that
woman as we'll as man employees
were subjected to personal search
among them his own wife, Nine
Rosengolz, and the wife of Flnanclal
Attache Shannin.
"The personal search of the women
was carried out by male police offl-
GERS" the protest said.
NJ. Rosengolz declared the raid be-
gan an hour before the search war
rant was presented and that nearly
the whole premises was searched in
the absence of representatives of the
institution raided.
Charges Against Police.
The police, he charged, seized and
carried off mail bag addressed to
the Soviet's official trade agent
which a courier had just brought
to ARGOS House.
The charge d'affaires characterized
the raid, which was still In progress
today, as fragrant violation of the
trade agreement of 1921" and main
tanned that NJ. Chinchuk, as official
agent of the Soviet Union, "enjoys
all the rights and immunities of the
official representatives of the other
foreign powers In Great Britain"
