PARKING
SEEN BY HAZEN

Angle parking on Constitution
Avenue as a means to reduce
congestion is being studied by
District Commissioner Hazen who
will take up the subject with Of
ficials of the White House and
with Arnold B. Cammerer, direc-
tor of the Office of National
Parks, Buildings and Reserva-
tions.
Commissioner Hazen believes
that a third more automobiles
will find space for parking at an
angle in contrast with the pres
ent method of parallel parking.
In connection with this idea,
Commissioner Hazen is studying
the effect of a parking ban on
one side of Eleventh Street North
west from Florida Avenue to
Pennsylvania Avenue, Seventeenth
Street Northwest from Florida
Avenue south as far as Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, TWenty-second
Street Northwest for a distance

worked there for nine years
caneing chairs, told the commit
tee his employer. Mrs. E. N. con-
nell. told him he would get no

ton. 1t is endowed and operated

a group of more than so people,
many of them sightless, was favor

fore the House District Commit

Film Star Writing Her Memoirs in Cottage
Near Mount Vernon, But Won't
Print Them Now -

So charmed is Pola Negri, Pol,
ish film star, with the Potomac
and Mt. Vernon country that she
is planning to buy tract of
land along the river and build a
house in the colonial tradition.
Pola has been spending a few
days at a little cottage on the
Potomac, writing, she confesses,
her memoirs. The memoirs she
dismisses with a few words:
"They will be published after
l retire. BefOre-nO, l do not
want that the doors of Holly
wood be shut in my face. And
/ may still have interesting ad-
ventures that l will want TO in
clude. Who knows what fate
has in store for me!"
History, and especially Ameri
can history, is Pola'S passion. Mt.
Vernon she adoreS. 1t is:
$50 marveIOus-sO American"
TO FURNISH HOME
She was delighted to find at the
mansion house a duplicate of a
Louis vi cabinet she has in her
own chateau in France. This
cabinet, and a Shipload of orher
signed pieces, she will bring to
America when her house on the
Potomac is completed. To fill out
she will use colonial pieces, crigi'
mails when she can fino them,
duplicates when she can't.
Pola loves America, her second
country. Washington is one CT
her heroes, enshrined in her heart
with those of her own native Pc,

to discover, is filled with momen
tos of her countrymen, friends and
comrade-in-arms of the so great

those brave young Poles who gave
of their courage and skill to insure
the victory of American arms.
1t was, she thinks, partly this
feeling that Poland had a part in
the Mount Vernon tradition that

forging the stamps run as high
as $4,000 fine and two years i'm

During her stay at the Potomac
cottage Pola has worked six hours

loves, played a bit of tennis and
relaxed.
Back To Hollywood
Today she will fly to New York
and by the end of July, after a

bia, are not reappointed.
EIgen Term Ends Soon
Chairman Elgen's term on the
Public Utilities Commission ex-
pires June 80, and while there is
no intimation at the District
Building that the President will
not reappoint him, the lawyers in
the case, including Chairman
Elgen himself see the danger of a
new member of the commission
entirely unfamiliar with the vast
amount of testimoney already pre-.
sented in the gas valuations case.
Major Gotwals' term expires July
20. 1884.
Vice Chairman 'Keech refrained
from sitting in the case because
he was Peoples Counsel in pre-
vious hearings and was an ad.
vocate of one side of the case, in
which there was presented much
expert testimony from the Com.
mission which may be sharply
contested.
Hearing Is Delayed
The opening of the hearing was
delayed for nearly an hour today
while Chairman Elgen tried to
persuade Vice Chairman Keech
to change his mind and sit as a
member of the Utilities Commits
sion. Attorneys for the Washing
ton and Georgetown Gas Light
Companies expressed themselves
as entirely willing that Mr..
Keech take his place at the hear
ing table.
However, Mr.. Keech refused to
sit, and Chairman Elgen alone
opened the hearing, Major Got
walls being in attendance on a
session of the District CommiS-
Sioners.
Mass of Data Ready
The mass of intricate and tech
nical testimony to be presented
by B. M. Bachman, chief valu'
alton accountant for the Public
Utilities Commission, is expected
to occupy 10 days. This will be
followed by additional technical
matter from Thomas R. Tate.
former chief valuation engineer
of the commission, now an Off
cial of the Federal Power Com
mission.
1t is entirely possible that the
hearing will extend several days
and possibly several weeks beyond
the legal life of the commission
as constituted at present.
