The death of 14-year-old Al
bert M. Loman possibly was
caused by a boyish curiosity
about the sensation of hanging
by the neck, it was theorized
today.
Albert was found last evening
by his mother, Mrs. Katharine
Loman, hanging by a plastic
clothesline in the attic of their
home, 1918 Mckinley place NV
Mrs. Loman and Albert were
alone at the time. The husband
and father, William Loman, serv-
ice director of the Hecht Co.,
had left yesterday morning with
another son, Robert, %, for a

the years, the best examples Of
the work of native painters and
Isculptors were displayed in the
old gallery. as we'll as in the
present one.
SIG Million Gift
The old gallery, its contents,
the ground and the endowment
fund were Mr.. Corcoran's SIG
million gift to the public. BY
deed of May 10, 1869, he gave
them all to Washington. He
started the gallery in 1859, but
the Civil War ensued and the
'Quartermaster Generals Office
occupied the building.
The Corcoran Gallery was
chartered by Congress on May
"a. 1870. For many years, the
old building was a cultural GEN.
ter of Washington. But it be-
came apparent in a compare
lively short time that it would be
inadequate to meet the growing
needs of the gallery.
In 1891 the trustees bought
the present site of the Corcoran
Gallery at Seventeenth street,
New York avenue and E street
NV. Ground was broken on
June &c, 1893, for the new build
ing designed by Ernest Flagg,
New York architect. The build
ing was completed January 8,
1897, and formally opened to the
public on February % of that
year.
100000 Purchase Price
Meanwhile, the old building
was vacated. The United States
Court of Claims, created by Con-
gress in 1855, was for many
years housed in the Capitol. The
old art gallery building was first
occupied by the court in 1899,
but the Architect of the Capitol
has continued responsible for its
upkeep.
At first. the court rented the
old gallery, but in 1901. Con-
gress authorized the Secretary
of the Treasury to buy it for the
court for 100000.
Under the legislation pending
before the Senate and House
Public Works Committees,
Architect of the Capitol j.
George Stewart would be en-
powered to construct a $3.5 mil
lion modern courthouse for the
court. Tentative plans call for
a flve-story building with the
exterior of limestone. The Fine
Arts Commission would pass on
the exterior design.
Senator johnson, Democrat of
Texas, and Representative Jones,
Democrat of Alabama, spon-
sored the bills.

AZALEAS have been getting
more attention from the park
people, too. New groups of
bushes are due to blossom late
this month in Montrose Park
and State Department Park,
adding to the established clus-
tiers along the Mount Vernon
Parkway and in Meridian Hill
and Franklin Parks.
The dogwood and the red
bud will soon be in their glory
These also are along Mount
Vernon Parkway and in Rock
Creek Park.
Next month come the noun
tain laurel, the rhododen-
dronS, the Scotch broom and
some of the roses. The Caro-
lima rhododendrons will bloom
in Meridian Hill Park and the
native variety in Dumbarton
Oaks Park.
The big rose show, in the
West Potomac Park Rose Gar
den, will be here in early
June.
One of the most beautiful
of all the shows begins in June
at the Kenilworth Aquatic
Gardens. Its 40 pools, scat
tered over nearly nine acres,
contain more than 100000
Towering water plants.
900 Towering water plants.
The hardy ones begin flow

varieties in mid-July. There
are lilies, lotus and water iris

The
Rambler
Spring Breaking
Out All Over
By JACK JONAS

This is the time of year that
makes newcomers to Washing
ton marvel at the variety Of
the city'S flowers.
Washington's big shows
among the spring flowers-the
single cherry blossoms and the
forsythia = are past their
prime.
But there will be enough of
the less-touted blooms of
other kinds to brighten this
city of parks for a long time.
Something of a neophyte
among the blossoms is the
unspectacular pansy, growing
close to the ground and in
such an array of colors that it
would be impossible to list
them all.
The park people have been
developing the panSy beds in
recent years. This year, 10000
plants have been set in the
display gardens near the
Fourteenth Street Bridge. Be-
fore their season ends in July,
there will have been 100000
blooms.
The pansies have been grad
ually replacing the more ex-
pensive Dutch tulips. Holland
is no longer donating the
tulips. and their cost is too
high for planting.
There still is a goodly dis
play of the Breeder, Cottage
and Darwin tulips, however,
at the Custis-Lee Mansion in
Arlington National Cemetery,
and some around the pansy
beds in West Potomac Park.

ANOTHER relative new
conner inNpark planting plans
is the natcissus family-the
daffodils and jounquils, which
are easy to plant, grow and
maintain.
These have been around for
years, notably in Dumbarton
Oaks Park, Montrose Park,
Franklin Park and Chevy
Chase Circle. But this year an
ambitious planting program
for the narcissi is beginning
to show results along Rock
Greek and Potomac Parkway.
In the past week, beds all
along the parkway, from Taft
Bridge south, have been pro-
viding splashes of color for
work-b bound and home-going
motorists.
About due to replace the
fading single cherry blossoms
are the double oriental blooms
around Hams Point.
Also coming on are the
Towering crabapples, their
blossoms as delicate as the
cherries. These provide an
nual shows along Anacostia
Parkway between the Eleventh
Street and Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. Bridges, in Franklin Park
and Lafayette Park, in Grant
Circle and on a short stretch
Of Pennsylvania avenue be-
tween Twentieth and Twenty
first streets NV.
The lilacs along Maine ave-
nue., south of the Independ-
ence Avenue Bridge, should be
in full splendor by the end of
this week.

Florida Rail
Fight Pushed

WEST PALM BEACH. Fla,
Nov. Z R.-The Florida Rail-
road and Public Utilities Com
mission today planned to con-
tinue its efforts to get into the
record a report of Atlantic Coast
Line Railroad Co. operations in
Florida.
Lewis w. Petteway, commits
sion attorney, said he would
tender as offer of proof certain
material concerning activities
and holdings of the ACL and its
81 million subsidiary, the At
lantic Land and Improvement
leo.
The Florida commission is
opposing ACL efforts to absorb
the Florida East Coast Railway
Co.
st. Joe Paper Co., Alfred I.
dupont estate subsidiary which
owns 81 per cent of FEES $45
million in first and refund
ing bonds, also wants control of
the 571-mile railroad that
operates between Jacksonville
and Miami and into the Ever
glades farming district.
Edward w. Bourne, ACL coun-
sci, objected to Mr.. Petteway's
attempts to bring in the Atlantic
Land and Improvement Co.
Operations and ICC Examiner
Homer H. Kirby upheld Mr..
Bourne's objection.
Mr.. Bourne said it would
broaden the case and delay COM
pletion Of the hearings If such
exhibits were offered.
Mf. Petteway said he wanted
to show to what extent ACL had
broadened its land operations In
Florida and to bring out that
shippers could be Influenced to
route via ACL.
Mr.. Petteway was supported by
John r. Turney, st. Joe counsel
who said II ACL disclosed the ma
ture Of It's holdings 1t would
show many thousands of acres
in pasture and production and
would make ACL's control of the
FEC incompatible with the pub
lie interest"
Among material offered by Mr..
Petteway was an ACL booklet
entitled "More Pay Dirt" which
described the ACL as owner of
leasable lands and packing
houses, and a list of ACL hold
ings in several counties totaling
$4,000 and having an assessed
valuation of $2,977,5S4.

ALASKAN SHEEPMEN TO RECEIVE
 INCENTIVE PAYMENTS

Alaskan sheepmen will re ceive substantial incentive pay ments on their 1855 clip soon, Philip R. Johnson, chairman of the Alaska Agricultural Stabili- zation and Conservation (ACS) committee said this week.
 The incentive payments am. ount to 449h of the net sales proceeds received by the sheep men. These payments will be made under the National Wool Act of 1854. This is the one agri- cultural price support program that has been extended to Alas ka.
 Most of the sheep in Alaska are on Umnak and Unalaska Is. lands in the Aleutians, Johnson explained. While there are small flocks in the Fairbanks and Homer areas, the islands without a predator problem and with year-around grazing are the DO tential wool producing areas in Alaska. Wool is relatively non. perishabie and compact product that can be easily transported, A ready market already exists

WHAT IS A All LEADER?

Somewhere between the sterness of parent and the comradeship of pal is that mysterious call a All leader These leaders in all shapes and sizes and may be female But they all thing in commons glorious twinkle in their eyes
 Four-H leaders are found everywhere-at judging contests junior fairs square dances talent shows and always preparing for sitting through partcipat ing in or recuperating from meeting Of kind They are of mullins expert taking knots thread peerless basketball coaches and spend hours the telephone.
