the medal of the royal institute OF
architecture, Hardy's attention
turned to literature before he was
fully launched on his career as an
architect.
He began with the writing of
poetry and then took up prose.
During his last years he has again
been writing poetry. He leaves be-
hind him an imposing list OF works
in both poetry and prose. He did
not give up all Of his, interest in
architecture for literature, however,
and he was FREQUENTLY concerned in
the rebuilding, restoration or copy
ing Of many of England's most ia.
nous churches.
During recent years Hardy has
devoted much time to opposing
''blood sports and to supporting
movements for humane treatment of
animals. Perhaps the best known
OF Hardy's works are Tess of the
d. Urbevilles," Jude the Obscure, .

THOMAS HARDY,
AUTHOR, DEAD

DORCHESTER, Eng. Jan. 12.-I
Thomas Hardy, noted English
novelist. who died last night, will
be buried in the family vault at
Stinsford, little village near Dor
chester. it was understood today. 1t
is known that the writer had ex-
pressed the wish that his body be
Inferred there amid the scenes he
loved so well.
Hardy, who was one of the few
remaining great Victorians, was re-
garded by many as the most famous
English writer of his time. He was
81 and had spent his entire life in
Wessex. His illness dated from
December IL, when he caught cold.
Throughout his illness he was
nursed by his wife and her sister.
The death Of Thomas Hardy re-
moTes from English public life one
OF the best beloved men OF letters
portant figures in contemporary
literature.
Hardy and George Bernard Shaw
have long stood out as the two
greatest British writer's, and no two
men have ever stood out in sharper
contrast While Shaw has chosen
to live in the hustle and hustle OF
London and to enter into every sort
of controversy on the slightest
provocation, Hardy has dwelt in re.
mote Dorsetshire and lived life OF
seclusion and quiet.
Hardy's works have probably done
more to bring out the charm OF
English country life and have done
more truly to depict the English
country folk than any other recent
contribution to English literature.
!. Born in Dorsetshire on June 2,
1870, Thomas Hardy started to win
recognition as an architect, ana
after securing an excellent education
he took up the study OF ecclesiastl-
cal architecture and studied under
England's finest architects. Al
though he had won recognition az
an architect and had been awarded

The Gibson subcommittee held .

to clear up a few loose ends in its
investigation OF the District gov.

Harry N. Luckett. chief clerk Of
the Police Department, was called
to testify in regard to the practice
of the department OF parking seized
and abandoned automobiles in the
streets.
Luckett told the subcommittee
that the cars are now being moved
off the streets onto a vacant space
near the wharves. and that within
two weeks there will be no more

Representatives of the Bureau OF

that the District government could

own paint for the interior of the
building, as the Federal government
does.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-04-19

The hearings will be before a sub
committee of the House District
Committee, according to Chairman
Frederick N. Zihlman.
The commissioners are in the
dark as to what queries may be
put to them by the House COM
mittee. but they plan to carry with
them a complete set of the hear
ings and other evidence they have
gathered on the subject of a
merger.
Members of the subcommittee
who will conduct the hearings are:
sentatives Mcleod. of Michigan;
Reid. of Illinois; Bowman, of West
Virginia; Blanton, of Texas: Lam.
pert, Of Wisconsin,; Hammer, of
North Carolina; Whitehead, of Nir-
ginia. and Cole, of Maryland.
The merger testimony before the
Public Utilities Commission is in
such form as to be virtually I'M
available for the use of Congress.
Only six stenographic copies of the
hearings are in existence. and of
these, one each has been sent to the
two District committees, two are the
property of Chairman Childress, of
the commission, and Col. w. b.
Ladue, and the remaining two are
on file at the Public Utilities Com
mission offices.
Hearings Not Printed
The hearings have not been
printed, and it is admitted that a
detailed examination of the testi-
mony given to the Public Utilities
Commission is impracticable under
the circumstances. Only one copy
is available for the use of the SEN
ate District Committee, which has
dozen members.
The Senate hearings probably will
get under way next week. It APP
pears probable that the District
Committee will issue a subpoena for
William A. Roberts, valuation expert
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and opponent of the merger.
Without such a subpoena Roberts
would be forced to take more IAN
nual leave" from his work out of
his month set aside for vacation
purposes, and committee members
do not believe he should be penal
lied in this way for his public
service.
Whatever the duration of the
hearings, however, it is certain
that they will develop some facts in
connection with the + Ian which have
not been brought out heretofore
