the Public Utilities Commission for the
evacuation of street interstate bus
terminals in the downtown area, tempo
rary facilities for the off-street ter

Reported Fallen Through.
1t has been said at the office of the
secretary of the commission that ne
gotiations with the Co-ordinating Com
mittee Of bus lines for the acquisition
OF the Annapolis Hotel site had fallen
through. Word to this effect was said
to have been brought to the commits
sion by Edward j. Smith, Washington
superintendent of the Short Lines. Mr..
Smith said today he was speaking only
in SO far as his company was concern
ed and not for the co-ordinating group.
Mr.. Scarr, as president of the new
terminal corporation, will have con-
trolling interest, having 35 and rs per
cent of the stock. Under the contract
with the Riggs Bank subsidiary, drawn
up by lawyers for both the bank and
the terminal interests, the hotel will be
purchased on an installment plan from
the bank, which foreclosed on a second
trust mortgage last March and assumed
first mortgage of $4,000 held by the
Prudence Co. of New York.
The contract provides that ultimately
the hotel and terminal will be operated
as separate units, with the Annapolis
Hotel Management Corporation buying
the hotel from the terminal corpor-
alton. A. c. Torgeson is president of
this group, and H. F. NeaSon Is man
ager of the hotel. J, M. Seward is Sec
retary-treasurer Of the terminal group.
The remodeling of the lower floor of
the hotel to provide for the bus term
inal will involve cutting through an 81"
wing at the northeast corner of the
building and cutting the Eleventh
street bus exit through this portion Of
the structure.
hotel will be converted into a large
waiting room, and passenger entrance
will be made on Eleventh. H and
Twelfth streets. Other facilities, such
as check room. fountain, newsstands,
will be incorporated in the plan, to be
operated by conceSsionaires.
Under original plans, there was to be
a single bus lane through from Twelfth
to Eleventh street, with room for ad-
ditional parking of the vehicles abreast
of this lane. With the completion of
the negotiations with the w. B. & A.
Railroad, however, it will be possible
to have three direct lanes from one
street to the other. The location Is
just outside the zone from which the
Utilities Commission barred the buses,
which is bounded by H street.
Scarr plans to operate the terminal
under the supervision of the F. j. Scarr
Transportation Co.

Cause for CurtaiIing of
Stay at Camp.

President Hoover returned to his desk
at 9:30 o'clock this morning after a
week end Of rest at his camp on the
Rapidan River in Virginia. Mrs. Hoo
yer, who has been at the camp for the
past two weeks, did not return with
him. but expects to remain throughout
this week at least.
The President abandoned his plan to
prolong his stay until tomorrow. 1t was
said that matters here required his at
tention today. He hopes to get back to
the Rapidan camp next Friday, how
ever, end remain two or three days.
Left About 6 O'Clock.
The President arose shortly after 5
am. and left his camp few minutes
past am.
Mr.. Hoover has net yet completed the
draft Of his acceptance speech to be
delivered at his notification ceremonies
on the night of August II. This is
understood to have been one reason fcl
returning to his desk today. Besides
this. the President Is casting about fol
available material from which to select
men Of the proper experience and back
ground to name to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation. Also he must very
soon decide upon whom he will select
for the five places on the Home Loan
Bank board. In addition to this, the
Gen. Charles Saltzman, who last week
resigned as chairman OF the Federal
Radio Commission.
On his early ride back from camp, the
President had the company OF Edgar

mer business associate. Mrs. Rickard,
who has been with Mrs. Hoover at the
camp for more than q week, remained
with her.
ENLARGEMENT with Jones.
Mr.. Hoover made his only engage
ment for today with Senator Jones, Re-
publican, of Washington. It vas the
Presidents desire to see as few people
as possible in order to be able to give
his undivided attention to the writing
of hts acceptance speech and to other
important business.
The President on his ride back to
Washington was again met at the Dis
trict side of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge by three motor cycle policemen,
who acted as an escort on the remainder
of the ride to the White House. This
extra precaution, which was inaugu-
rated upon the Presidents return from
camp last week, was taken because OF
the reports that some of the bonus
campers in Washington were contem-
plating demonstrations in the vicinity
of the White House for the Presidents
benefit. The ride was without incident.
Instead of motoring to the front en-
trance of the White House upon his
arrival, the President had the car
stopped on West Executive avenue, in
front of the side entrance to the execu-
tive off1ce.
