nom ic holdina ifa {orfu> sacnSad

TINE Society of Washington Artists
now is holding its forty second
annual exhibition in the Cor
i coran Gallery of Art. It opened
today, and will continue through
out the month of February.
One is thus reminded that for more
than two double decades this society,
made up of the practicing artists of
Washington, has not only been produc-
ing here in our midst but endeavoring
to advance the interests of art and its
development in the National CAPITAL.
Looking back over the years, those who
have followed the fortunes OF this local
association recall the enthusiasm which
has been brought to bear upon these
annual showings, and also from first to
last their excellent character.
At one time they were held in the
assembly hall of the Cosmos Club, then
for q season or two In an improvised
gallery at woodward & Lothrop's; for
q short time the society had gallery
Of its own on Connecticut avenue, but
from the time the Corcoran Qallery's
new building was erected en- its present
site, with but one exception, the society
has exhibited under its hospitable roof.
For a good many years these exhibitions
were held in what was known es the
hemicycle, originally intended for and
later converted into lecture hall. and
1t was undoubtedly through the excel
lence of the society's exhibitions and
the vision of its ofncers and directors
that the potentialities Of mt.re COM
prehensive display Of contemporary
paintings were brought to mind and
the Corcoran Gallery's biennial exhibi-
tions instituted.
For some seasons these exhibitions
have occupied two galleries of
the right and left Of the main stair
case. This year the Corcoran Gallery's
permanent collection having increased,
but one gallery was available. This Is
well filled-perhaps too we'll dlled-for
tie paintings, 80 in number, are Of
necessity hung frame to frame and in
q double row.
Years Work Shown.
A yearly exhibition set forth by a
group or association, as in this instance,
Of professional artists should invariably
be regarded as an annual report, the
purpose Of which is to acquaint the
public and each other with current
activities-progress presumably, though
not impossibly retrogression. As such,
the present display gives indication of
wide diversity both in viewpoint and
method. Perhaps never before has
there been a time when artists were so
far from single-minded in methods Of
pursuit and ideals Also 1t Is safe to
venture that never has there been a
time when criticism was more lenient,
opportunity for display 50 generously
accorded.
Among the figure paintings in this
current exhibition are three certainly
outstanding-Hattie E. Burdettes por-
trait Of Clifford K. Bergman, to which
q position of special honor has been
given; Mathilde M Leisenring's portrait,
head only, of Will Barnes and a por-
trait of little girl in white by Camelia
Whitehurst, entitled Summer" exc

mic Institute Adept at
Certain Jobs.

A determined drive to obtain more
work by which blind men and women
can earn their living has been under
taken by the Columbia Polytechnic In
stitute for the Blind. 1908 H street.
The drive has been started because Of
the reduced budget Of the institution
due to the failure Of the Community
Chest drive to reach It's goal.
The men who exc out their lneager
living through work secured for them
by the institution are adept at Gaming
chairs, and In the manufacture OF mops
and brushes. An appeal to the public
to have thetr furniture repair work done
by these men, and to buy other articles
made bv the blind men was made by
Ralph H. Campbell, executive secre-
tary Of the institution, yesterday.
Willing 10 Earn Money.
Mr.. Campbell said:
1.-The blind men who work at the
Columbia Polytechnic Institute for the
Blind would much rather earn addi-
tional money than to receive additional
money from the Community Chest.
The work they do Is equal IN quality
to that OF any sighted worker and our
only problem is to get the quality of this
work before the public OF Washington. In
competition with other manufacturers
cur workers won a contract from the
Government to supply the United
States Soldiers Home here with mops.
There were no tavors asked or chown
and the mops met Government specifi-
cations.

ELECTION PLAN

ANNAPOLIS, June 14.-Anna-
polls may not have an election
next month and if such is the
case the present council will re-
main in office until 1886, owing
to an oversight upon the part
of state legislature.
When the city'S election laws
were revised several months ago,
provisions for the naming of a
board Of election supervisors
were omitted. In ruling today
Judge William H. Forsythe de-
cided that there cannot be elec-
tions without supervisors.
Registration and a primary
election, which were to have been
held yesterday, have been can
ceIled and unless the entire new
law is found to be invalid the
present council will remain un-
changed for three more years.

WORKERS
KEEP JOBS

Employees of the Office of Pub
lie Buildings and Parks needn't
fear immediate dismissal from
consolidation with the National
Parks Service under President
Roosevelt's reorganization plan.
Horace M. Albright, director of
the national parks office gave
that assurance today, saying:
eff Congress approves Presi-
dent RoOSevelt'S plan for unit
ing the Office of Public Build
ings and Parks with the Ma
tiOnal Parks Service economies
will come from elimination Of
duplicating chiefs and overhead
rather than from reduction Of
personnel.
Colonel Grants office is Op-
Grating on an efficient and
economical basis. If we have
to take over his duties we have
to take also his personnel, since
We are already OverwOrked in
our own field"
Director Albright conferred
with Colonel Grant late yester'
day and planned to discuss the
new parks organization with
Secretary Of Interior Ickes some
time today.

Ends Double Liability.
The bank bill as passed also
removes the double liability of
stockholders in national banking
associations licensed after passage
of the act.
This will not have any effect,
it was said, on leVying assessments
on stockholders of banks already
in difficulties.
1t is expected however, to have
a stimulating effect on the sale
of stock in the new Hamilton Ma
tional Bank. 1t is also expected
to make it easier for officials of
the Franklin National Bank to
secure agreements from depositors
for reorganization of that institu-
ton.
Possibility that the District
Grand Jury will probe the af"
fairs of the Park Savings Bank
looms following filing of a report
with United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover by Department of JUS
tice agents who have been in
vestigating the affairs Of the bank
since Robert S. StunZ, executive
vice president, shot and killed
himself just prior to the closing
of the bank.
Rover said it would take several
days to study the voluminous re-
port which is said to recount in
detail alleged looting of the bank.
wildcat Loans"
The report is said to contain in
formation regarding alleged wild
cat loans to privileged borrowers
and the covering up of these deals
through use of money left with
him by customers for investment
or safe keeping.
It also said that the report re-
veals that inside borrowers" con-
spired with persons whose identity
is as yet unknown to steal money
from the bank, through borrowing
of money on worthless collateral.
The actual shortage, it is said,
will reach $1,200,00O. Prediction
was made at a meeting of the
banks depostiors Monday night
that only about is cents on the
dollar would be repaid.
The campaign to raise $1,250,.
600 capital stock and surplus for
the proposed new Hamilton Ma.
tional Bank, to be formed through
merger of seven of the restricted
banks, continues with about
100000 still needed.

critics Up to $4,000

Operations under the new
home owners loan act, signed
yesterday by President Roosevelt,
are expected to get under way
within a seek or 10 days, accord
ing to William F. Stevenson,
chairman Of the Federal Home
Loan Bank Board.
Managers and agents will be
appointed in every State, the
names to be announced later.
1t is expected that the District
Of Columbia will have its own
home loan agency. instead of be-
ing merged with Maryland or
Virginia.
The law empowers the Home
Owners Loan Corporation to
deal with home owners, the as
Sessed values Of whose homes do
not exceed $4,000. Homes built
for more than four families are
not eligible.
Mortgage Refunds
The chief purpose of the law
is the refunding of mortgages at
lower interest rates, not their
liquidation in cash. Only mort
cages Of record at the time the
act is signed will be considered.
Under the procedure authorized
by the act, mortgages on homes
will be taken up by exchanging
them for bonds Of the corpora
tion. The United States Govern
ment guarantees interest on these
bonds, at the rate Of 4 per cent,
over a period of 18 years. Mr..
Stevenson explains:
"TheSe bonds will cover the
mortgage due, and the act per-
mitS payment in cash of any
accrued taxes, assessments,
necessary repairs and mainte-
nance, and the incidental costs
Of the transaction; provided,
the total amount does not ex-
ceed $4,000, or 80 per cent Of

tereSt, over a period of Is years.
Gan interest rate of S per cent
is charged, and the owner may
have an extension on the prin-
cipal loan for . three-year
period"
To make this refunding pos
sible, the lender must accept
bonds in place of his mortgage.
If he is unwilling to do so, the
corporation may make loans to
take up mortgages in cash, if such
loans cannot be obtained else
where in ordinary lending chan,
nels. Such loans, which will be
at per cent, must be paid off
in IS years, and must not exceed
40 per cent of the value Of the
property. This limitation will pre-.
vent liquidation in cash of an
unduly large amount Of mort.
cages, for most houses are
mortgaged for considerably more
than 40 per cent.
Some Loans 5U Fer Cent
Besides refunding mortgages,
the corporation may loan cash on
homes not otherwise encountered
up to SO per cent of their value,
The capital stock of the cor.
poration will be 5000, ,OO0, 900, and
it may issue, all told, $4,000,
100000 in bonds, the interest but
not the principal being guaran'
teed by the Government.
Localities which have no such
institutions will be aided in form
ing Federal savings and loan as
sociations. 1t is expected that the
mechanism for this will be avail
able in three or four weeks.
