LOADING SPACE
LIMIT URGED

Restriction of street car loading
to one block on Fourteenth Street
Southwest during the rush hours
at the Bureau Of Engraving is
suggested in a letter forwarded
today to Maj. Gen. Herbert B.
Crosby by Secretary Edward D.
Shaw for the traffic committee
Of the Merchants and Manufac-
turerS Association.
Further relief, the letter sug-
gests, would be gained if auto
mobile traffic during the congest-
ed periods was diverted between
B and D Streets Southwest by
way Of Linworth Place which
would become a one-way street.
The change has been suggested
after careful study Of conditions,
Mr.. Shaw said. Trolley cars are
permitted to load on the two
blocks on Fourteenth Street now.

CAVERN ROADS
AID TRAFFIC

Solution of the traffic problem
in connection with the compile.
ton of the Municipal Center IS
one Of the most difficult pro-
blems faced by the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Colnmis-
sion.
Removal of street cars from
Pennsylvania Avenue is one Of
the issues to be confronted, and
as yet no solution has been
reached at the meetings Of the
commission and District officials.
Cost Held High .
The plan that seems to meet
with high favor is to remove
surface lines and build Subways
under the Municipal Center. The
chief objection to this however, is
the cost. .
While no definite sum has been
named, owing to the number Of
plans under consideration, it was
learned that the cost Of a subway
would be at least $4,000, 600.
The street car companies, it
was pointed out, are suffering
from falling off Of revenues and
could not afford to defray such
expense. The question as to who
would foot the bills would be
placed in the hands Of Congress,
and District officials fear that
the 100000 burden would be
shouldered by taxpayers Of the
District.
Plans Rejected
Other plans have called for
turning the street cars off Penn
sylvania Avenue at Third Street,
but these proposals have been
rejected by the commission.

Judge Adkins Denies Petition
To Prevent Action by U. ST.
Razing May Be Delayed

Theatrical interests today lost
their court fight to prevent the
razing o: Polls Theater, doomed
to demolition by the Govern
ment's triangle development plan.
But the immediate fate Of the
historic old pile is still in doubt.
Justice Jesse c. Adkins in the
District Supreme Court today de-
MED the petition Of Jacob and
Lee Shubert for an Injunction to
prevent Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon and H. Herfurth, Inc, q
contracting firm, from razing the
structure.
Provided In Lease
The Shuberts claimed that they
had q lease contract with the
Treasury Department which stop
ped the Government from tear
ing down the building, which is
on the site of a proposed park.
The Government contended that
the lease provided that 1t could
be terminated on 80 days notice,
and that such notice was given
when the Government decided to
clear the site for the park.
Treasury officials were graft
fled today at the action Of the
court in refusing the Injunction.
However, they declined to state
the plans Of the department on
proceeding with the demolition.
Still in Possession
It was pointed out that the
ShubertS still have possession If
the thaeter and that they still
have some Of their property in
the building. Two courses lie open
to the Government. Either it
can eject the property Of the Shu-
bertS by force or it can, institute
landlord and tenant proceedings
to ouSt the tenants.
The architects office Of the
Treasury Is anxious to proceed
with the razing of the building as
soon as possible, as this is the
only structure in the block which
remains standing in the way Of
the park development. Contract
for its demolition has already been
let to the Herfurth Company,
which tore down the other build.

However, future action will be
delayed for a while, at least. until

Foreign Rubber Growers Punched

Government legislation for the regulation Of prohi-
bition OF expectation Of rubber in all producing coun-
tries has been recommended by the British Rubber
Growers association in cooperation with Dutch rub
Der growers.
These foreign rubber growers say that only by gov
eminent Intervention can widespread distress in the
industry be averted. and that without a general plan
to regulate production the accumulation Of stocks
will threaten "the whole foundation Of the industry
This Is a reminder that while the war was on and
for nine years after the coming Of peace the foreign
rubber growers alright combination trimmed TO a
finish American buyers and American consumers Of
rubber goods. including the tire which makes the
motor car the swiftest running vehicle on wheels.
Now the foreign rubber trust is Crawling on its
belly and Is asking for governmental Intervention to
save the trust from extinction. This is a queer old
world, notwithstanding its new civilization.

The Once Over
MA popo INSECTS THE YACHTS
Hx n. I. PHILLIPS

Copyright, 1880. BY The Associated Newspapers)
Dear Editor-Wel, ! have been down to see those
yachts which will be in the international Cup race
and they were a big disappointment to me. ! don't
see what difference 1t will make which boat wins, as
they are all equally uncomfortable and ! wouldn't
give you a dime for the bunch. I am surprised that
the papers don't tell the people the truth about these
boats, which is that they lack all accommodations
you expects in ships these days and that they are
the last boats you would pick to go any place by water.
! saw the American defenders Cthe entire squad
ron), but I could not see any difference between the
Enterprise, the Weetamoe, the Whirlwind and the
Yankee. except that the Yankee is the most stationary
and the best boat to get on If you are not in any
hurry. Anyhow. these ships are mostly masts and
you get the same impression you would get If you
stuck an umbrella into q cake Of soap. It looks TO
me like II was really an international mast contest.
ss
AS I say. all the American yachts look alike, 50 I
will Just describe the Enterprise, because when you
have seen one Cup defender you have seen them al.
Well. she is Just a long. skinny boat that a girl could
have no fun on whatsoever If she was used to all the
comforts Of life. No rattan chairs are on the deck
and no a~sh-trays. and, what Is worse. there IS no iron
rail- to lean on, which is very important II you are
going TO be out in rough weather much or any.
1899.
There is no newsstand anywhere on the boat where
you can get magazines or chocolates, the staterooms
are little cubbyholes. with no light or air and, be-
lieve II or not. there is no ships orchestra. Imagine
going for a ride on a boat which did not even have a
violinist and accordion player!
Well. anyway. after seeing the American boats I
thought maybe Sir Thomas Upton would have some
thing better. but I found it the same thing. only 7
am fond Of green and liked the color better. The
deck Of the Shamrock is kept bare. too. SO nobody can
sit down or take a nap. and there are no quiet games
or SWITCHBOARD. You can get an idea what a smart
man Sir Thomas Is from the fact that while the
Shamrock crossed the ocean ne came over on a regu-
lar liner and will not even ride on the Shamrock ".
during the races. Ii is things like that that account
for his eighty years. and if he avoids travelling on Cup
racers he Should live to be a hundred.
Yours truly.

Dyer Law Covers Theft of Plane

II is well for crooks to remember that the Dyer
motor theft act applies to the theft Of airplanes
stolen in one state and transported to another as
well as automobiles. This is the decision Of the United
States circuit court OF appeals for the middle west
jurisdiction handed down in the city Of Denver. A
citizen Of Oklahoma made the test. He removed an
airpiane not his own from Oklahoma to Colorado.
He was captured. returned to Oklahoma, sentenced
70 three years in prison and $1,000 fine, and the fed
e-al court upheld the verdict OF the lower court. IN
the eyes OF the law. a thief appears to be a thief.
