Washington Farewell
To His Troops Shown
In New Ar1iSS Drama

One of the most famous scenes in
early American history, Washinston's
farewell to his troops, is shown in
alexander Hamilton" the Warner
Bros. picture starring George Arliss,
now at the New Theatre, Sandstone.
Every detail of this historic Occa-
sion which took place, as every school
boy knows, at Rocky Hill on Novem-
Der 2, 1888, was considered to insure
the accuracy of the scene. Historians
have We'd with one another in des-
cribing it; artists of the time and of
later years have pictured it, yet it
has never been so graphically repro
duced.
Washington's farewell to his troops;
is the opening of the story of ALEX
ander Hamilton" Four hundred ex-
tras and bit players take part in the
scene as soldiers.
alexander Hamilton" which is
adapted from the stage play of the.
same name by George Arliss and Mary
Hamlin, provides this great actor with
one of his most colorful roles.
1t deals with a romantic, but dah
gerous incident in the life of the
first Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States and many famous fig
ures of Revolutionary days appear.
Doris Kenyon, June Collyer, Montague

Henry ST. George Tucker, a Democrat
from Lexington, Virginia. with the
declaration, Il have not voted for any
thing for several years-the rule Of

Constitution" The inquiry now turns
as to the thousands of bills passed
without st. George fuckers vote
does he regard them all as uncOnsti-
tutiOnal? Mr.. Tucker is 70 years of
age and has been in Congress several
terms.

same to discuss the subject of repara-

P. j. c. ORDERS
STEEL BUSES

Ths Public Utilities Commission
today began drafting an order pro
viding new regulations for bus
operations of the two local traction
companies.
The action is being taken as
the result of a recent public hear
ing into the collision Of two busses
at Seventeenth Street and Rhode
Island Avenue Northwest, on April
/ which resulted in the loss Of
three lives.
Among the new regulations will
be one requiring the companies to
obtain new buses of steel con-
struction equipped with non-shat-
terable glass. Requirements of
glass in all buses must also be of
the non-shatterahle type.
Another regulation will prevent
the companies from employing a
bus operate" longer than IL hours,
except in case Of emergency, and
give the operators eight consecu-
tive hours of rest a day.
The order will also require all
new busses to be equipped with air
brakes.

It's bad enough to have rail

aged by automobiles, but when a

makes the life of a policeman
tough, Private Thomas P. Fogarty,

Patroling his East Potomac Park
beat, Fogarty discovered a place
on the washington channel sea-
wall where so feet of iron railing
had been torn away. After con-
siderable sleuthing, he pinned the
accident upon the S. S. e. Mad
ison Hall.
Questioned after docking his YES
sci here Saturday night, Capt.
Mason Brown, colored, 2O7 P ST.
S. W., admitted his craft had
caused the damage. In backing
from her slip, the E. Madison

forward again quickly enough to
keep from backing into the sea-
wall. No charges of reckless driv-
ing were placed,
