sioners to Buy Prop

The hitch in the negotiations follow
ed the report of title company that
there was a lease on the property Tor
seven years and two months from NO

Henry I. Quinn the owner claims that
the lease has a provision that 1t is null
and void If during its terms the GOV.

and that this should be read to include
the District government, which has the
right of eminent domain to condemn

wealth should forget the spiritual and
moral welfare of America was urged

H. CoWles at the opening session of the
Supreme Council, Ancient and Accepted
Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdic-
ton, in the Scottish Rite Temple today.
The occasion is the biennial meeting Of
the council.
Much progress toward establishment
of the department has been made dur
ing the last year, the grand commander
declared. He said: II believe that the
personnel of the education committees
in the present Congress are more
favorably inclined than heretofore.
Hoover on Record.
"Mr. Hoover, in prediction days" Mr.,
CowleS added, lis on record as favorlng
a department of education and welfare.
There are more newspapers, especially
of the big dailies, now openly advocat-
ing the cause. What Is also to the
point, and greatly to be reckoned with,
Is the determination Of certain men IN
Congress, both Democrats and Repub-
licans, to push and fight for the Rooi-
son bill"
This afternoon at 1870 o'clock Mr..
Cowles. accompanied by members OF the
council, visited Mount Vernon and
placed a wreath on the tomb of George
Washington, who was member OF the
Masonic fraternity.
In his address at the temple Mr..
CoWles also had stated that a great
part of the work of the Scottish Rite
lay in aiding the enlightment OF the
citizenry of the country" Later in his
address he declared Masonry and
patriotism are synonymous"
Awakening to Dangers"
I believe there is an awakening anent
some of the dangers which threaten the
Nation" he said AT least the restric-
tive immigration laws enacted within
recent years so indicate. While not
perfect, they are a long step forward"
The Supreme Council will entertain
at a reception in the temple this eve
ming at o'clock. All Masons are in
vited.
Tomorrow morning there will be
nominations of those to receive the de-
grees of Knight Commander of the

his contributions to the rituals of Scot
fish Rite. were held yesterday afternoon
at meeting preliminary to the formal
session opening.
The principal address was delivered
by Walter r. Reed, thirty third degree
Mason of North Dakota.
1.-The principles and teachings of our
order" he said, "obscured sometime in
our wanderings among the hills OF pres
ent day cults, emerge like great
mountain peaks when we study them
in the writings of Albert Pike; endur-
ing, majestic, satisfying, bringing to US
a rational and reasonable basis for an
unchanging faith and hope"

CHANGE IN coming
CODE OF DISTRICT
WILL Be TAKEN UP
Amendment Would Grant Re-
lief to Owners of .Non-
Conforming" Structures.
COMMISSION WILL HOLD
PUBLIC HEARING OCT. 80
Five Petitions for New Classifca-
tions Also Will Be Con.
sidered by Body.

An amendment to the District coming
code which would grant a measure OF
relief to owners of mon conforming
structures from literal interpretations
of the coming regulations will be con-
sidered at a public hearing before the
Zoning Commission october 30, &C
cording to an announcement today by
Maj. Donald A. Dawson, executive OF
the commission.
The commission will consider the fol-
lowing proposed amendment:
structural alterations made wholly
within the outside walls of a non-con-
forming dwelling, or an addition to such
dwelling of a porch, or the inclos-
ing of porch may be permitted; pro-
vided. that such dwelling be used ex-
clusively for residential purposes, that
the permitted percentage of lot occu-
pancy be not exceeded thereby, and
that such alterations or additions be
approved by the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia"
Parallel Case Taken Up.
At the past coming hearing the Com
mission had before it tust such case
as would come under the proposed
amendment. The owner of a semi-de-
tached house, located in an area which
was zoned "A" restricted after the house
was erected, thereby making 1t mon
conforming" structure, asked a change
in the coming of her dwelling so as to
permit the incloSing of rear porches.
The application was refused because the
Commission felt that lower residential
area should not be created in the "a
restricted area. No objection was raised
to the incloSing of the porches as such,
but under existing coming regulations
this could not be done unless the coming
classification were changed.
Under the proposed amendment, such
alterations to non-conforming" struc-
lures could be permitted by the District
Commissioners without a change in the
coming classif1cations on property.
Five Petitions to Come Up.
At the hearing October 80 the Com
mission also will consider the follow
ing five petitions for changes in coming
classifications:
Change from first commercial, 60-foot
c area to second commercial, 60-foot C
