PROPOSED PARKING
BAN DRAWS FIRE
Merchants Representative
Says Downtown Streets Are
Too Restricted Now.

Opposition to the proposal of Mai
Edwin B. HesSe, police superintendent
for abolition Of parking on downtown
r and G streets between and pm
was voiced today by Edward D. Shaw
secretary Of the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, in a letter to
Commissioner Dougherty.
ION behalf of members of the asso-
citation who have places of business
along these Streets" Mr.. Shaw de-
clared. 81 wish again to go on record
opposing the elimination Of parking at
any time on these streets.
"A few people who violate the law
by parking longer than one hour should
not cause parking to be eliminated en-
tirely during the rush-hour period on
these important business streets, and
thus cause much inconvenience TO the
patrons of the stores in the downtown
business area
The solution of the problem seems
to me 10 be to strictly enforce the one
hour parking provision now In ex-
istence.
THE amount of parking space in the
downtown area Is being gradually elm
mated for street car stops, bus stops
entrances to public buildings. banks
ETC., which together with the elimina-
ton Of parking for large number OF
cars which was made some months age
by the change from angle to parallel
parking on Thirteenth street has great.
~ reduced the parking space available
In the business district. Business has
been severely affected IN this area as
the result of such parking elimination. y
The parking problem In Washington
Is not nearly so acute as 1t Is In many
other more congested cities where In a
very few cases they found 1t necessary
to eliminate parking entirely, Mr.. Shaw
said.

 The meeting last night was featur- ed by an address. "The Common Sense Of Music." by Dr. Sigmund Spaeth. famed musicologist and erst- while New York music critic, who i spokesman for the Community Concerts corporation, the combine of concert managers who are mak- ing it possible for smaller cities to compete with big ones in acquiring concert courses at reasonable rates. Dr. Spaeth included much of what he had been telling luncheon clubs throughout the week and added much which lack of time at his pre- viouS appearances prevented him from including. The address was brmful of humor and traced the percentage of much modern popular music to tunes from the classics. Dr. Spaeth will be in the city again Thursday, at which time he will ad- dress the teachers.
 The music last night was also a feature. The High school orchestra. under the leadership of George E. Matthews. supervisor of music. aroused favorable comment for its playing. gaining high commentators from Dr. Spaeth. The Mendelssohn Trio consisting of Herbert Anderson. violinist: Roy Futile. 'cellist, and Theron w. Hart, pianist, played two selections by Mendelssohn. the An dante and Finale from the compos- CTS c minor trio. and was heartily arplauded. Dr. Spaeth likewise con- graduated them upon their artistic distinction. After the crowd had de- parted young Walter Arbour. pianist, played several piano selections for Dr. Spaeth and received encourag ging comments.

POLICE FIND BUT
 A MEAGER CLUE
Endeay0r to Locate BomberS Of
 Elliott Home

New York. May 1a jP,-A dark red touring car. a description of it's four occupants and a jack knife. were the only clues upon which po- lice had 10 work today in searching out the homb.rS of the home of Robert Elliot. official oN,cuiioner for four states and the man who put Sacco and Nanz"t'i to death.
 The jack knife was found in front of the bombed home of Elliott on Long Island. q short time after the bomb had exploded. Neighbors re- ported seeing the touring car and it's four occupants speeding away short ly after the explosion. A milkman was held up by four men in sim liar ear three miles away 45 min uteS later.
 On East Side
 The car was believed to have been seen on the East Side in Manhattan q half hour after the holdup A motorcycle patrolman said that he pursued such q car. firing one shot into if, when the driver refused 10 halt at his summons.
 Officials were divided over the identity of the bomhers, some bel llevlng II to be the work of Sacco- Nanzetti sympa'hi2ers while others thought it the work of cranks brood ing over recent executions at which Elliott has officiatod. such as those of Mrs. Ruth snyder and Henry Judd Gray.
 The possibilities of suspicion were recognized as limited only by the number of persons Elliott has put to death. or who are now in prison awaiting execution. He has execut- cd more than loo persons in the past two years in the states where he IS official eXecutioner - New York. New Jersey, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
 The police guard maintained over islliott's home during the closing days Of the Sacco-N -NanzetN case and from May 1 to May ,, in fear of May Day disorders, was placed again after the shooting, Guards were also placed over the homes of Queens county officials
