CITY CLUB URGES
CAPITAL MUSEUM
Past, Present and Future of
Washington Would Be
Shown in Collection.

Creation of an exhibit showing the
National Capital of the past, present and
future by means of models, photographs
maps and other records, in connection
with the celebration of the washington
bicentennial in 1892, is urged in a reso-
luton adopted by the women's City
| Club, it was announced last night. The
club will invite all organizations and
| individuals known to be interested in
formulation of plans for the exhibit.
The club in its resolution declares
that such an assembly of records and
material would form a background OF
| interest to visitors and be invaluable
as a guide to the constantly changing
Government officials. whose duty Is to
plan for the future needs OF modern
city.
Paris has long maintained city mu-
se,lm for such records and New York
recently has founded such museum.
"It is obvious" the resolution states,
that the Importance Of such an IN
stitution In the National Capital Is
greater than in the case Of any other
American city"
No Permanent Display.
It is pointed out in the resolution that
the recent exhibition of models OF the
future Mall triangle buildings, on view
in the windows of Woodward & Lothrop
for many weeks, has been removed to
dead storage for lack OF permanent ex-
hibition space and that the collection
of models and drawings OF the WASH
inotnn MANNED for the future by the
MCMILLAN commission Is inaccessible TO
he YoYIh1ir for similar reasons.
''The carving out OF the authorized
n,,blic DEVELOPMENTS shown in these col
iections." the club said, will mean the
destruction of many features Of wash
ineton of the past while private building
is no less surely removing more, as Ior
example the famous Six Dwellings,
built before the white House. nov half
DESTROYED to make way for apartment
houses.
"In cases where the historic features
of the Capital City must be destroyed IN
the interest of its future development,
it Is desirable to preserve a true record
of them by means of drawings, photo
graphs and models.
Epitome Of Nation.
"rnasmuch as the site abounds in In
dian remains of the civilization before
14Q2," the resolution continues, in rec
ords of the Colonial estates Of the origi-
nal proprietors in evidence of Presi-
dent Washington's versatility and genius
In every step of It's founding and origi-
nal plan, etc, the growth and Develop
niert of the city form an epitome OF
the history Of the Nation"
Records of all periods Of the citys
development which exist today. it was
stated, are widely scattered in different
departments of the Government and
in the hands of private citizens. There
is pressing need, it is said, that the
material be assembled, arranged and
preserved.
1.-THE occasion of the washington BIZ
centennial in 1882" 1t is stated, seems
a peculiarly fitting time to assemble
these records for the benefit of the visi-
tors who will throng the city, and it is
believed that, once assembled, the in
estimable value of such an exhibit would
be so apparent that means could then
be found to make it permanent"

MEXICO City, April 19.~-Mexico City
readers were without foreign news to-
day as a result of a strike of the cable
editors Of the newspapers Ell Universal
and Excelsior The strike was called
by the newspaper union because the
publishers refused to obey an order to
cancel their membership in the Asso-
ciated press.
The union had called a strike be-
cause the Associated Press declined to
continue in its employ two Mexican
translators no longer needed because
of a decision to transmit its news to
Mexico in Spanish in accordance with
Mexican law. The Associated Press Of
fered these employees salary for three
months but 1t was refused.
The situation was aggravated by the
appearance Thursday In both FL Uni

patch, credited to the Associated Press,
alleging that revolution had broken out
in Spain. The cable editors were still
