W.C. BRUCE ENTERS SENATORIAL RACE Maryland Democrats Facing’ Three-Cornered Contest in September Primaries. G. 0. P. SEEKING UNITY Withdrawal of Garrett Suggested at Conference of Leaders—France Confident of Renomination. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, August 1! democrats will have a three-cornered primary fight next month was made certain this week with the flling of papers of his candidacy for the democratic nomination for United States senator by Willlam Cabell Bruce. Mr. Bruce is regarded gen- erally as the candidate of the or- ganization and it is expected he will recelve the support of both the state and ci leaders, who have been with- holding support from William I. Nor- ris and David J. Lewis, the other two candidates dy in the fleld. seems certain, all three candidates remain will be a pra in the fleld there cal application of the n of the Mary- land senatorial primary law, which, although on the statute_ books since 1914, never has been employ ation which may > future effectivene: ticak hine w connection with reported the en- in trance into the primary fight of Mr. Bruce.

Hence, the city leaders ain that they will be able the city for Mr. Bruce. o it is understood that Mr. Bruce will. no doubt, be more accapt ble to the state wing of the democ- racy than either Norris or Lawis, triends of former Senator John Wal- ter Smith, the acknowledged leader of the state organization, declared they do not believe the former sena- fluen tor will take wny active part in the campaign Gov. Ritchle Neutral. Gov. Ritchie is understood to have ided to maintain a strictly neutral itude on the candidacy of all three indidates, but it is a well known ¢ that the governor is very favor- i 4 ion not to run for the United States Senate. In re- affirming his decision not candidate the governor said: “I have never been a candidate for the Senate. more and more convinced that 1 was right hand and that 1 ought to stick to it and do_what the people elected mo for.

That the drys are iook- ing for a candidate in the senatorial primary is an understood fact, neither of the two candidates either the democratic or republican ranks is satisfactory from a ary standpoint. Suggests Garrett Quit Race. On the republican side the week was featured the conference in Philadelphia on _Thursday between Senator France, W. Bladen Lowndes and Roland Marchant with the na- tional committeemen, William P, Jackson, Marion A. Humphreys and Amos W. W. Woodcock, Mr. Jack- son’s chief licutenant on’the eastern j shore. Mr. Jackson, who has been supporting Senator France openly for some time, is understood to have taken the position that Mr. Garrett should withdraw from the primary in the interest of party harmony in order to avoid a split that may en- danger party success in the general election. Mr. Lowndes, it is reported, was brought into the conference in order that he mzy use his good offices to try to persuade Mr. Garrett to with- draw. Senator -France, who spent several days this week at his head- quarters in this city, is quoted as be- ing very well pleased with the prog- ress being made and feels that al- ready he has the nomination as good as won. Gossip in Congress Districts. The congressionall situation re- mains practically the same as last week, with’the exception that Judge Briscoe, who was offered the demo- cratic nomination in the fifth dis- trict to oppose Representative Mudd, declined, and the democrats are now casting about for another candidate. Clarence M. Roberts, member of the house of delegates from Prince Georges county, is reported as being the latest candidate centered upon. It also is reported on good au- thority that the Anti-Saloon League has finally decided to enter the fight in the fifth district and has centered upon a bone-dry candidate whose identity as yet has not been disclosed to make the fight, claiming that the sentiment in the fifth district is dry. The republicans are having a hard time to get a candidate to oppose Representative J. Charles Linthicum in the fourth ddistrict, none of the republicans so far approached being enxious to enter the fight, and it be- gins to look like the G. O. P. com- mittee will have to resort to the draft in order to keep Mr. Linthicum from being re-elected unopposed. CITY NEWS IN BREF.

Special Dispateh to The Star. FALLS CHURCH, Va., August 12— As a result of a conference arranged iby a spec of the Falls I committee Church Citizens' Association and held in Washington Friday at headquar- ters of the Lee Highway Association, prospects are bright for completion this year of the mile and a quarter of road between the end of the con- crete payement at Halls hill and the macadam at East Falls Church. Attending the conference, in addi- tion to the Falls Church committee, were President Henry Roberts and other officers of the Lee Highway As- sociation. Thomas J. De T and Walter Weaver, supervisers of Arlington_count ipervisor Harri- son of Falrfax county, and repre- sentatives of Les highway units from points st of Falls urch. Now a State Road. The Lee highway, having by act of the legislature been tak over as a ¢ e road, is to be completed and | maintained from state funds, but no money will be a ilable for the work before next y At a number of places along ute money has been loaned to the state without in- terest for the work, to be repaid when state and federal funds become available. At a special meeting of the F: !sl Church Citizens’ Association Monday ight the Arlington sors agreed way departmen payment next year they would bo row the money for immediate build- ing of am 15x-foot concrete roadway from Halls hill to East Falls Church. | The meeting in Washington Friday was to get this proposal in definite form. Repayment in Two Years. 1 Mr. Roberts, who had just come from Richmond, where he conferred with the state highway commission, said that if a special session of the | legistature is called and the pro- posed bond issue of $12,000,000 voted, the money could be repaid next venr, but that otherwise the only guar- antee that could be siven would be repayment within two vears. The Arlington county supervisors agreed to the two-year repayment period, and it only remalns now to get the proposal and the guarantee in formal shape. Under the practice of tha state| commission it will be necessary to| have a survey of the road by a state| engineer, and while this may entail some glelay it Is believed bids can be | askea’and a contract let in time to compiste the work before winter. The estimated cest of the work is about $40.000 and there remains to be adjusted the pavment of interest s to be loaned to the state, but it is not thought this will present any serious difficulties. Falls Church to Fairfax. In addition to_the stretch from Halls Hill to Falls Church, the question of completing the road from Falls Church to Fairfax came up for consideration at the Friday confer- ence, and as a result there will be held’ Tuesday evening at Merrifield conference of intekested parties, ich will be attended by the com- mittee from the Falls Chlurh Cit zen's Association. The question to be| considered will be whether therei shall be submitted to the voters of Fairfax county at the November elec- tion a proposal to issue bonds, the! money derived to be loaned to the| state to build the eight miles of road | from Falls Church to Fairfax, the| money to be repaid when state and) federal funds become available. The estimated cost of the work is from $250.000 to $300,000. Supervisor Harrison declared himself in favor of the project. 1f pul through at the November election work could begin eatly in the spring and the road com- pleted two or three years sooner than | “wquld be the case if it awaited the regular allogation of funds’ and the only cost to the county would be the interest charges on the bonds pend- ing repayment by the state.

Trapping “Mike,” a vigilant and vicious airedalg dog, in the bathroom, a thief rifled the home of Karl F. Jorss, 2756 Macomb street northwest, yesterday afternoon and made away with $3,600 worth of jewelry. One of nine articles taken from with two large diamgonds and sur- rounded by numerous smaller dia- monds, valued at $1,500. Other pleces included a princess diamond ring containing twenty-five diamonds worth $400, a gold ring incrusted with diamonds valued at $500, and an aqua marine pendant set in platinum. The Jorss family, according to the police, suspect some one robbed their home who was familiar with it, inas- much as the various pieces of jewelry were quickly taken from several dif- fegent parts of the house. Another reason for this bellef is that they must have known “Mike” and his prowess as a watch dog. The burglar entered the home through breaking a glass in a rear window. The' robbery occurred be- tween 12 and 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon while Mr. and Mrs. Jorss were’ dining downtown with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. F.
