S2,059,0D0 GOAL
FOR CHEST DRIVE
Increase of $4,000 Over
1886 to Be Sought in
10th Campaign.

The Community Chest will seek 10
raise S2,059,000 in its tenth anniver-
sary campaign next month to finance
welfare work in Greater Washington
during 1888, it was announced yes
terday by Clarence Phelps Dodge
president of the Chest
Expressing determination to put
the campaign over the top" RAN
dolph G. Bishop. campaign director,
said: There is a spirit Of optimism,
in the ranks of the workers, a feeling
that they are going to succeed this
year, that is bound to make itself felt
throughout the community. I feel
that we are going to raise-nay ex-
ceed-this goal of S2,059.000.
The goal is approximately 500, 1000
higher than that of last year. due
largely to inclusion of the suburban
area in the forthcoming campaign.
However, a regular Suburban Unit has
been organized and given quota Of
$4,000 to raise in the drive.
Largest Unit Sum.
The Governmental Unit will at
tempt to raise the largest sum of any
of the campaign soliciting units. Its
quota has been fixed at SITS 900, with
approval of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Wayne Chatheld Taylor,
chairman of the unit.
Quotas for other units include:
Metropolitan Unit. headed by
Chauncey G. Parker. jr., which
handles the house-to-house solicita-
ton and also solicits the smaller busi-
ness firms, S201000
Group Solicitation Unit, headed by
John L. Vandegrift, which organizes
and solicits all firms employing more
than Is persons, s419,000.
Special Assignments Unit. headed
by Richard w. Hynson. which solicits
gifts of $500 or more, S579.0O0.
Capital Unit, headed by Col. West A.
Hamilton, which solicits colored resi-
dents in their homes, $4,000.
Suburban Unit, headed by Randolph
Leigh, organized to solicit residents of
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and
Alexandria in Virginia and Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges Counties in
Maryland. $4,000
Protection for Public.
Bishop pointed out the public will
be protected against any additional
for funds by agencies which
,ro ,,,oy, horc of tl,o Cboet Tho DoorJ
of Trustees of the Chest has ruled, he
said, that all member agencies
should throw the full weight of their
efforts into the united campaign; that
no request for supplementary appeal
by any agency for current expenses in
1888 shall be granted, and that no
agency shall undertake such a sep
arate appeal and remain an institu-
tional member of the Community
Chest"
This means. Bishop said, that any
agency which might undertake such
a separate campaign would thereby
automatically separate itself from af-
with the Chest
In connection with the united cam
paign, to begin next month, adult
Bible classes in churches of Washing
ton and vicinity will observe October
81 and November as Community
Chest Sundays" These days will be
set aside for discussion of the Chest
work and needs Speakers will urge
the class members to take as active
part in the campaipn as possible.

MEMORIAL SITE
CHANGE IS URGED
Thomas Would Put Jefferson
Structure on East Capt.
toI Street.
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Erection of the Thomas Jefferson
Memorial on a site away from the
Tidal Basin area was urged yesterday
by Senator Ebert D. Thomas, Demo-
crat, Of Utah on his return to the
Capitol from European trip
He is the second member of the
Jefferson Memorial Commission to
suggest recently that consideration be
given to a change in the proposed To-
cation following refusal of the House
to appropriate funds before adjourn
ment to start the project at the
Tidal Basin.
Senator Longergan, Democrat, of
Connecticut, also a commission MEM
Der, who made known his views q
week ago, did not mention a specific
choice elsewhere. He was confident
the project would be built, but said
different location probably would have
to be agreed upon
East Capitol Site Urged.
Senator Thomas, however. is con-
vinced the most appropriate site would
be at the end of East Capitol street.
He originally favored that location.
but found himself in the minority
when the commission deliberated on
a number of sites and agreed upon
the Tidal Basin.
He said yesterday his visit to Eu-
rope, which enabled him to give fur
ther study TO the layout of monu-
ments and public buildings in Paris
and London, strengthened his view
that the terminus of East Capitol
street is the best spot to dedicate to
the Jefferson project. BY placing it
there, he said. the Jefferson Memo
rial, bordering on the Anacostia River.
would balance the Lincoln Memorial
on the bank of the Potomac, at the
ends of the long axis extending
through the Mall and the Capitol
grounds.
II that were done, he argued, any
new Government buildings needed IN
future years could be erected along
this same axis. eastward from the
Capitol. The area westward from the
Capitol already has the Mall parkway
development, flanked by museum and
art gallery buildings.
Location Available.
Senator Thomas said the Jefferson
Memorial, as already designed. could
be constructed. on the East Capitol
street site. The Utah Senator has been
opposed to the Tidal Basin site be-
cause he regards it as an effort to
beautify spot that is already beau
tiful.
The action of the House in elimi-
mating from the last deficiency bill the
initial allotment of s500,000 to begin
work in the vicinity of the Tidal Basin
has put the question over for further
discussion when Congress reconvenes.
1t may be that the Memorial Com
mission will meet before the next ses-
sion starts. when all of its members
have returned to Washington, to con-
slider the situation in the House, where
a separate bill was reported out of
committee to prohibit use of the Tidal
Basin site, but leaving the commits
sion free to make another selection.

HIDDEN DOME
DEAL DROPPED

Due to very complicated legal
features, that are now in litigation
and to the refusal OF J w. Bales,
sole trustee for the Bales Oil Trust
to give a 60-day extension on their
option, f. A. Beeler and associates
have dropped the Hidden Dome oil
field negotiation on the Bales
properties in north central Wyom-
ing. 16 miles West of Worland. It
became necessary to gather all da-
ia pertaining to the whole opera
ton OF the Bales OIL Trust, which,
would necesttate at least another
80 days. before 1t could be deter
mined whether the case would merit
fighting a long, drawn-out law

by Mr.. Bales and the deal was
dropped. Worland is 100 miles

This well is in the neighborhoOd
of early wells which had consid-
cradle oil but there is question
whether those wells had oil in the
base of the Kootenai formation or
at the top of the lime. 1t now ap-
pears that the showings were in

Sunburst sand from 1855 to 1920
which was dry but carried a gas
flow sufficient to supply nearby
ranch buildings of a sheep ranch.
If the gas is not conserved, the well
win be plugged and abandoned.
A. c. Crumley is continuing his
well in the same district, in NV

up a flow Of water that rose 500

A we'll drilled by a Great Falls
group had several showings Of oil
but was determined to be off the

group proposes to drill another
wen, this time on the top of the
sharp-dip fold. It has been deter
mined that a road can be economic
ally built through low pass which
will make it possible to move a
rig into a deep basin that marks
the top of the small dome. The first
well was drilled outside of this
basin because 1t was thought Inn
possible to get rig In.
The first well had shale show
ings at $50 feet; then a good show
ing of free oil in a 12-foot sand at
$50, with a flow Of gas at 1901.
The gas is still active and can be
used in drilling the second well.

next showing was at the contact Of
