THE SILENT CITY

A worthy project was undertaken
by the Redmen's lodge this week
when it voted to start a special
fund for the upkeep of the ceme-
terry.
Chamber of Commerce members
have expressed their willingness to
cooperate with the lodge in its
effort to give the cemetery better
care. The cemetery fund is in charge
of the lodge trustees who are au-
thorized to accept contributions to-
ward the care of the grounds from
organizations and interested per-
sons, and doubtless, the fund will
grow to sizable amount. If per-
sons having deeds to cemetery lots
would comply with the agreement
to care for the lot attached to the
deeds, state the trustees, it would
be of very great help toward in
surfing the grounds against neglect.
1t is the hope of those who are
back of the movement that suffi-
cient funds may be secured to pay
a caretaker who would work about
the grounds for at least part of
each week from early spring until
late fall.
The cemetery at Wrangell lies in
a beautiful location with glimpses
of the bay showing half around
through the rim of forest trees, and
with but little care it can be kept
in harmony with the natural beauty
by which it is surrounded 1t is
matter of reproach to the living
to neglect the last resting place of
those who have gone before.
Many who sleep at Wrangell are
separated by great distances from
family or kinsfolk and there are
none here who are directly inter
ested in the appearance of the GEM
etery for their sake; nevertheless.
these men were once a part of our
community and the citizen of to-
day should feel the responsibility
of keeping attractive and orderly
for them, as we'll as for the mem
bers of his own family, or for close
friends, the silent city where they
now repose.

Cost account figures furnished
by a local bakery in connection
with the bread price increase in
vestigation being conducted by
Assistant Corporation Council
Robert E. Lynch were being
checked by the Agricultural Ad'
justment Administration today.
Meanwhile, Lynch was expect
ing from several other baking con-

books show regarding production
costs. He said he will turn these
over to the A. A. A. for a check-up.
The A. A. A. will check the
figures submitted by these ba-
keries as composing the total cost
in the making of bread.
Lynch hopes to have sufficient
data studied by early next week
to make partial report on the
probe to Senator King, chairman
Of the Senate District Committee,
who requested the investigation
be made to determine if the 1-cent
increase in bread prices is JUS

SUIT On BEER

An institution which teaches
the English language to a stu
dent body of aliens is not a
school when viewed through the
eyes of the laW-especially the
eyes of the Districts beer law
Justice Jesse c. Adkins ruled
today in District Supreme Court.
Consequently the District Com
missioners lost another fight at
tempting to uphold their beer
regulations. The justice granted
a writ of mandamus compelling
the city heads to grant an ION
sale" license to William A. Rowe,
proprietor of a restaurant in the
800 block Tenth st. N. w.
Rowe obtained a temporary
permit last April but this was
Cancelled by the Commissioners
in July on the ground that
Rowe's place was within 200 feet
of the Webster School. which is
now used as an Americanization
school.
Fighting the cancellation of
the license through Attorneys
Conrad and Sam A. Syme, the
restaurant proprietor contended
that the student body was COM
posed of 875 students, $40 of
whom we're 18, or the legal beer
drinking age, and since the insti-
tuition merely taught the English
language it was not a school
within contemplation of the law.

6. v. MEMORIAL
FUND REQUEST
REFUSED
Auditorium Project Not Public
Works Job, According to
Administration

A request for $5,O00,0oO for con-
struction of a huge auditorium as
a memorial to George washington
on Pennsylvania Avenue was re-
jected today by the Federal Board
Of Public Works.
Application for the loan was
filed recently through Mrs. Susan
w. Dimock, president of the
George Washington Memorial AS
sociation.
Not Public Works
In rejecting plans for the audi
torium, officials declined to COM
ment on their action but it was
indicated from a reliable source
the project failed because it could
not be construed as a public
works project.
The building was to have been
built at Seventh Street and Penn
sylvania Avenue and was to have
been an American Westminster
Abbey. It was to contain a Ii
brary of Washingtoniana, con-
vention hall capable of seating
1000 persons and headquarters
for various patriotic organizations.
100000 Collected
The project was begun in 1898
and although land was purchased
and the foundation laid it has met
with constant rebuffs ever since.
Donations have been collected for
the children'S wing of the me-
mortal totaling 100000.

KING PUSHES
CITY CENTER

Senator William H. King, chair
man of the District Committee,
today asserted that since the Fed
eral Government increased the
cost of the proposed Municipal
Center for Washington above the
amount requested for its construc-
ton by the District Commis-
sioners, it is incumbent upon Fed
eral authorities to make the funds
available at the earliest oppor-
tunity.
Pointing to the crowded quar-
ters in which several of the NUM-
cipal agencies are housed, the
Senator asserted the need for con-
struction of the first units of the
building is great.
Congress, he said, insisted on
expanding the project above what
the Commissioners planned. He
said this tends to obligate the
Federal Government to finance
the building.

ASKS EVIDENCE
Of BENEFITS
To PUBLIC
Justice Bailey Says He Will Be
"SIoW to Approve" Inclusion
Of U. S. Savings

Counsel for the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank and for the Treasury
Department must show incon-
trovertible evidence that the pro-
posed Hamilton merger is in the
best interests of the public, JUS
tice Jennings Bailey warned to-
day or he will not approve par
ticipation of the United States
Savings Bank in the merger.
Justice Bailey's warning came
as a stunning surprise near the
close of the testimony of Wilbur
H. Zepp, vice president of the
United States Savings Bank, who
is to be branch manager of that
bank if it comes into the Ham
ilton system.
Warning Stops Case
The announcement brought
counsel to the bench for a secret
conference which lasted for more
than Is minutes. At the conclu-
sion of the conference, Justice
Bailey ordered a continuance of
the hearing until tomorrow morn
ing during which time counsel
will seek points and authorities in
opposition to the courts stand.
Zepp, as conservator of the
bank, testified that he had pur-
chased stock for cash in the
Hamilton Bank, had been prom
ised the branch managership in
the Hamilton, and had signed the
contract for the transfer of United
States Savings Bank assets to the
Hamilton system.
Demands Witnesses
Warning Treasury and Hamil-
ton Bank counsel that they should
be prepared to present witnesses
in support of their petition for
court approval of the contract,
Justice Bailey said:
81 have before me two suits,
one calling for an injunction to
restrain the United States Saw
ingS Bank from participating in
the merger, and another that Of

to approve the contract in which
he sells the entrusted property
to a corporation in which he is
a stakeholder and of which he
is now, or is about to be,
salaried emplOye. The court will
be slow to approve such a con-
tract"
MAY GRANT INJUNCTION
This statement was generally
construed to mean that unless the
defendants are able to present in
court overwhelming evidence of
the necessity of the banks partici-
patton in the merger in the public
interest the bill of injunction will
be granted.
The granting of the Injunction
will not necessarily halt the Ham
ilton merger, according to Treas
ury officials. but merely means
withdrawal of the United States
Savings Bank from the proposed
merger. 1t will temporarily delay
the opening of the bank, it was
admitted.
