says that they feel that the area
around the Tidal Basin, with its in
formal treatment, has an esthetic
value in its contrast with the formal
treatment of the rest Of the city that
should not be lost.
Frederic Law Olmstead, who was a
member of the Mcmillan Commission
wired the House Library Committee
last April emphasizing that the pro-
posed jefferson Memorial would be so
stupendous in appearance that in his
opinion, an adequate setting could
probably never be created in the Tidal
Basin locet ton
Inc fourth point in the report is a
discussion in favor of leaving the
Ildal Basin as it is on account of its
esthetic value. 1t also argues that
"nile the cherry trees may die. some
might be moved and new ones planted,
YET the committee questions where

otner such setting for the cherry
trees, which attract so manv peonle

IL points out also that this area has
become a playground and recreation
center, handy for Government en-
ployes on account of its proximity to

In its fifth section, the report calls
attention to the laws enacted in tho
SeVenty-third and Seventv-fourtb

Jefferson Memorial Commission was
created and operates. II said that
tne Library Committee has no dispo-

IL is not proposing any other Site but
Is registering objection to the Tidal

tentlon that the commission is required
under the law to make an annual
report to Congress and that the clerk
mas advised that he has not received
the third annual report which was

ton Johannes Van Steck, a French
prospector, reported Van Steck was
found mortally wounded in the tunnel
where he had said the bullion was
cached.
No Sign Of Gold.
There was no sign of gold in the
tunnel.
President Arosemena also ordered
an inquiry Ito establish the cause" Of
Van Steck's death.
Sagel said he went to the aban-
doned mine with Van Steck and two
others on Tuesday. When they
reached the tunnel the Frenchman
said, I'VE will now 20 to see where
the gold is"
However, the prospector entered
alone while Sagel, the Governor of
Chiriqui Province and Van Steck's
helper waited at the mouth Of the
mine.
Found Fatally Shot.
Presently, Sagel related, they heard
sound like q stick breaking. The
three ran in and found Van Steck
with bullet wound in his right tenn
pie and a revolver at his side. He
died three hours later at his camp
three miles from the mine.
Sagel searched the tunnel fors gold
but found none. A corroborating
statement was given by Alfred Veser,
