CAPITAL PLANS TO WELCOME.
HUGE THRONG OF ''LTNDY" FANS

would be good for five days, enabling
many to remain in Washington over
the week end.
Considering the fine condition of
highways leading into the Capital
from Maryland and Virginia. it is ex-
pected the automobile traffic will be
unusually heavy. The number OF per-
sons who can and will spin into the
city for the day and return home after
the evening fireworks display will run
into the thousands. The tourist camp
in Potomac Park. increased in size
this Spring to accommodate 400 cars,
with a number of tents and bunga-
lows, can provide facilities for at least
. 800 persons.
BY far the greater proportion OF
the auto tourists, however, will drive
home Saturday night and revisit the
city Sunday in the hope OF catching
another glimpse or a first glimpse of
Lindbergh, as the case may be. While
no excursion will be run here from
New York. which is preparing its own
welcome to the hero of the day.
large number of visitors will come
from Gotham and from upstate, never
theless. Reports from New England
indicate that some are even coming
from Boston and Providence, making
the occasion of the Lindbergh Celebra-
ton an opportunity to do some sight
seeing in Washington.
Local hotels are busy making prep
arations to handle what their man.
ayers believe will be the largest
crowd of visitors Washington has
welcomed in many years. They point
out that the number will far exceed
the last inaugural crowd, which was
disappointingly small.
Hotels to Meet Demands.
Despite the huge army about to de-
scend upon the Capital 1t was said
that visitors need not be alarmed for
fear the hotels will be unable to &C.
commodate them. Washington is the
fourth largest hotel city in the coun-
try, exceeded only by New YORK.
Atlantic City and Chicago. It's 81
sients without croWding, and apart
ments, boarding houses and lodging
houses can accommodate nearly as
many.
In this connection it was pointed
out that last Easter. when there were
fully 100000 visitors over the week
end, there was no apparent conges-
ton in the hotels. All who wish to
remain over Saturday and Sunday.
during the welcoming of Lindbergh,
it is believed, will be able to do so
with a minimum of discomfort.
Special arrangements are being
made by the police to handle the in
creased traffic on the streets during
this period and many improvised
parking spaces will spring up over
night throughout the city and on its
outskirts. With the crowd reaching
it's peak Saturday afternoon, the
Monument grounds will be packed
with humanity and practically every
man on the police and traffic force
will be mustered into service on that
day.

AVENUE WILL BE R0PED
FOR LlNDBERGH PARADE
Loading Platforms from First to
Fifteenth Streets Also to
Be Removed.

Anticipating an immense crowd of
spectators along the route of the well
come-home parade for Col. Lindbergh
Saturday, the District Commissioners
yesterday afternoon ordered the cree
ton of rope barricades and the re-
mova1 of all street car loading plat
forms along Pennsylvania avenue
from First to Fifteenth streets. The
Sanitary Engineer of the District was
directed to have the ropes in place by
IL o'clock, an hour before the arrival
of the cruiser Memphis with it's hon
cred passenger.
The cost of the work will be charged
to the emergency fund for the current
fiscal year, as no other appropriation
is available.
The Commissioners also issued an
order directing Maj. Edwin B. Hesse,
superintendent of police, to suspend
the granting of days off to members
of the force on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday.

across the ATLANTIC, and then be
ready for an almost indefinite amount
of further use, is equivalent to the
passage of the airplane from the
state of a scientific phenomenon OF
limited practical use to an ordinary
and fully recognized commercial and
naval utility.
The production of instruments
which make it possible even for one
endowed with a most extraordinary
natural genius for navigation to take
departure from Newfoundland and to
make a landfall on the Irish coast
within two minutes flight of the point
aimed at is indicative of the success
that has been gained during the last
decade and a half In transmitting
aerial navigation from a process of
"guess and hope" to a science nearly
as exact as that of determining posi-
ton upon the surface of the sea.
Lindbergh's Way Praised.
The very way in which the flight
was carried out, the lack Of prelim-
mary fuss and disturbance and excite
ment, the matter-of-fact manner OF a
man who had set himself straight
forward task and went about 1t with
out delay or divergence, is symbolic OF
the departure of the airplane from
the class of stunt vehicles and its ac-
ceptance as a commonplace means or
getting from here to there.
The future of transatlantic flying
is hard to predict. Many problems
would remain to be solved before
there could be consideration Of reg
ular airplane service between Amer
lea and Europe, but the favorable in
fiuence of Col. Iindbergh's flight,
and now the Chamberlin and Levine
flight, upon the development of avia-
ton does not depend upon the inaugu-
ration of such service. Any art, any
piece of machinery, any field of appli-
cation of human skill benefits from
occasional submission to an extreme
test. The accomplishment Of the
pioneer is an inspiration and bea-
con light to many whose channels of
procedure do not follow his in detail.
IAN Himself Great.
We may Justly do honor to Col.
Lindbergh's airplane and all its equip
ment. We may seek to appraiSe the
significance of his flight and it's pos
sible future consequences, yet, final
ly, we lay aside technical discus
sion to return to the greatness of the
achievement of the man himself, of
that modest youth, who has in very
real sense brought the heart of Amer
lea nearer to the heart of Europe.
Left alone at last, after designer and
builder of airplane, of engine and of
instruments had done all that they
might for him and had sent him forth
dependent upon his own resources, he
pursued his way unfailing over track
less seas to the goal that he had set.
None have a right to show more
heartfelt enthusiasm than the officers
and men of the Navy, who meet the
problems of navigation in their daily
life and who belong to service which
has given so many significant names
to the annals of discovery, in hailing
Col Charles A. Lindbergh as one of
the rare and select company Of the
great explorers of all time.

With Lindbergh as the magnet to
draw thousands of admirers from all
points along the Atlantic seaboard
and as far West as Ohio, the National
Capital is preparing to welcome Sat
urday a host of visitors eclipslng in
numbers any inaugural crowd In re-
cent years.
Ultra conservative estimates by
traffic experts indicate that Washing
tons population will be increased by
fully 100000 tourists and excursion
lists who are eager to be among the
first to hail the returning hero on
that day. Other Lindbergh fore
casters" enthusiastically claim the
army of visitors will approach l50.-
600, including thousands who VIII
come for the weekend to take in all
the festivities. From Baltimore
alone, railway officials say, more than
$4,000 are expected.
Every railway leading into WASH
ington from this section of the coun-
try will have as many Llndbergh
specials" as the traffic Will pear.
These excursion trains will come
from Philadelphia and from as FAR
West as Cleveland, and as far South
as Greenville, S. c., and Ashe-
vile, N. c.
Traffic Experts Puzzled.
When it is realized that there is
a population of 100000 potential
visitors living within a radius of 100
miles from Washington, it is diff
cult for traffic experts to estimate
the number of automobile tourists
who will invade the Capital for the
Lindbergh celebration. Whatever the
number, whether $4,000 or $4,000, as
some believe, next Saturday will test
thoroughly the traffic facilities of the
city.
There Is intense rivalry between
competitive railways and the Penn
sylvania and Baltimore e. Ohio are
making special efforts to take adj
vantage Of the popular desire on the
part of Fasteners to make day of
it in Washington. The Pennsylvania
will run excursions from Phila-
delphia, Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Bal
timore, Harrisburg and Cleveland.
All trains will arrive here early Sat
urday morning and the eXcurSionists
will have an opportunity to spend
all day and most of the night here
The Baltimore & Ohio will run
specials into the city early Saturday
from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Wheeling and Parkersburg, w. Va,
and all intermediate points between
here and Pittsburgh.
From the South a great host of
Lindbergh admirers are engaging
passage to Washington. Specials
will be run by the Southern Rail-
way over it's main line from Green
Vile and Columbia, S. c., and all
intermediate points to Danville and
Harrisonburg, as well as special ex-
cursions from Asheville and cities in
that section of North Carolina.
Other railways operating in Virginia
will bring thousands from Richmond,
Petersburg and Norfolk. Tickets on

|. TO PAUSE FOR HERO
Mayor Requests" Holiday in
New York Upon Lind
bergh's Arrival.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 8.-The day
that Col Charles Lindbergh returns
to New York will be a holiday, by re-
quest of the mayor, though not by his
proclamation.
A week ago the board of aldermen
petitioned the mayor to proclaim the
day a legal holiday, but found that
the mayor had no such power. A
new resolution was prepared and pre-
scented at yesterdays meeting, which
read:
Whereas, the recent flight by
Charles A. Lindbergh from New York
to Paris has shed lustre on American
brains, courage and aviation skill and
brought world wide fame to that lion
headed citizen; Therefore be it
Mayor Issues Request.
Resolved, That his honor the mayor
be and he is hereby requested to issue
proclamation calling upon the. people
of this city to do honor to this phe-
nomenally gifted youth on the day of
his return to New York"
Shortly afterward the mayors Sec
rotary announced that a proclamation
was being drawn up requesting the
people of the city to honor Lindbergh
on the day of his arrival. The mayor
also requested the Board of Educa-
ton to permit school children to par
ticipate in the celebration, requested
city departments to release their en-
ployes for the day, and requested
business men to close their places for
the day.
