!P. u. C. Repeats Demand For Street Cars
E&uberAnt Daisy Borden Hartman
Called n Democratic GRIND Dame
New Envoy to Norway
Gifted With Vast
Enthusiasm

Hers is an exuberant personality
! that bubbles over, embracing all
fortunate enough to come within
its range.
Gifted with a remarkable brain,
tremendous vitality and a vast en-
thuSiaSm for living, she is one of
those truly great souls who are
not afraid to unbend towards the
little fellow. Democracy is her
most outstanding characteristic.
AS result, her servants adore
her, her friends swear by her, and
her political cohorts listen to her
opinions with respect.
Such is Mrs. j. Borden Harri-
man, the newly appointed Minis
ter to Norway.
Born to Purple
Born to the purple, this lady
one of the few really grande danes
left in the world-has had all the
advantages that wealth, social po-
sition and a great name could be-
stow. Yet she is as simple and
unaffected in manner as only q
great lady can be.
On the morning of this inter-
view, which was set for II o'clock,
Mrs. Hartman was having break
fast in bed. She called her apol-
ogies over the baniSter Of her
lovely home in Foxhall Road, ex-
planning that she had been up late
the night before and had over
slept.
One caught glimpse of her in
an enhancing blue velvet negli-
gee that set off her white hair
and matched her eyes. She waved:
''NO, don't come up! Don't
come up! I shall be just a min
ute."'
The minute" heightened into a
half hour while Stone, the butler,
extolled the virtues of his mistress
and showed the reporter through
the lower floor filled with lovely
old French furniture, book-lined
walls, flowers and heavy brocaded
Grapes.
The big drawing room had two
fireplaces, one on either end, and
a grand piano on which stood a
bronze statue Of Mrs. Hartman.
Books Everywhere
There were books everywhere.
Mrs. Hartman began collecting
first editions when she was mar
ried and has been doing it ever
since.
The house Is set high up on a
hill and one can see for miles
around. The grounds are land
scaped and daffodils waved their
bright heads over the terraced
lawns.

man breezed into the room.
did Stone show you around?
That is good! How do you like
my old French barometer? I
picked it up while motoring
through the countryside one
day. Isn't that a wonderful
view? And did you see my dog?
Isn't he q IOve?"
she sank INTO deeply cuSn-
toned divan on one side Of the
fireplace.
"Have a cigarette? My dear
what a charming hat! Where
did you get it? I must have
one. Have they any more?
Oh, do you mind if I try it On?"
We proceeded to the mirror,
where Mrs. Hartman adjusted
the hat. It was becoming. She
turned her head this way and that
and finally with a sigh gave it
back.
"DO you really think 1 can
wear it? And you don't mind
if get one like it? How
sweet"

TECH SCHOOL
WALL UNSAFE
FIVE YEARS
Repair Item SIashed
From D. c. Budget
Repeatedly

With the coming of dusk each
evening, a Twelfth Precinct police
man shows up in the neighborhood
of Second and r Streets Northeast,
and places a string of red lanterns
half way along the retaining wall
of the Mckinley Manual Training
School.
This has been going on each day
for five years. It is public ad-
vertisement to the citizenry Of the
Capital that the District Govern
ment considers half of the wall
along Second Street unsafe.
There's only one answer as to
what will be done about it. Both
the District Commissioners and
the school authorities passed the
buck" back and forth when asked
their plans for repairing the wall.
Each side said repeated attempts
had been made to get an item in
past District budgets for the re-
pairs, but had been eliminated.
Cost Set At $4,000
There is no item in the 1888
budget now pending in Congress
for the work. It has been esti-
mated that this work will cost
close to $4,000.
The only answer as to what
will be done came from Capt. H.
s. Bishop, assistant engineer COM
missioner. He said today:
81 have determined that this
work is going to be done before
1 leave the District service. It's
unfortunate that it has been
delayed so long,"
Captain Bishop has about three
years left of his tour of duty in
the District Government. He re-
called pledging his word to the
principal of Tech School and Par
emit Teacher organizations of the
neighborhood that he would see
the repairs were made. He said:
This all happened before I
came on duty here. When /
first inspected the wall, q barri-
cade had been placed against it
about half wall and engineers
reported the lowest portion Of
the wall, running south toward
r Street, should be replaced"
CONDUITS BLAMED
Captain Bishop said the cause
of the wallis weakening was the
probable result of placing electric
conduits along Second Street. He
said the conduits were sunk under
the sidewalk near the wall for
half the length of the wall, and
from that point northward the
conduits were sunk in the street.
The sinking of these conduits
under the pavement, Captain
Bishops believes, caused the land
to shift, forcing additional weight
against the lower portion of the
wall and necessitating the barri-
cade.
Captain Bishop said his engi-
neers have assured him there is no
immediate danger of the wall en-
tirely giving away. He said the
wall is checked at intervals Of from
three to six weeks by staff Of
surveyors to make sure it is hold
ing its own.
