BALLSARESTOLE AT CO0KESGAOL [Thieves Enter by Window. | Five Were Broken Into in ‘. ' Northeast Lately. Informed that the H. D. Cooke School, Seventeenth and Euclid streets, had been broken into and a number of base balls, tennis bells and volley balls stolen, Supt. of Police Hesse today wrote Harry O. Hing, secretary of the Board of Edu- cation, that he will make every effort to apprehend the latest school thieves and put an end to the series of depre- dations which have been perpetrated at public school buildings. The news of the breaking into of the H. D. Cooke School comes on the heels of the vandalism by three youths at five northeast schools. Mrs. Stella 1. Willlams, in advising Becretary Hine of the robberies at the Cooke School, informed him that en- trance was gained through a window. The thefts at the Cooke School would indicate that they were com- mitted by youths in the neighborhood, but school officlals are loath to assume this theory. In the case of the Madison, Taylor Ludlow, Peabody and Hilton Schools, all within a few blocks of one another in the region of Sixth and G streets northeast, nothing was found to have been stolen, but quantities of school supplies were thrown over the floor and the wood trimming damaged.

Special Dispatch to The Star, CLARENDON, Va., July 21.—Feel- ing that the Washington and Vir- ginia Railway Co. has been of in- calculable value in the development of Arlington County, and its discon- tinuance would work irreparable dam- age, the board of directors of the Ar- lington County Chamber of Commerce, meeting yesterday, went on record fa- voring a movement aimed to keep the road in operation. The action of the meeting favoi the stand taken by the Fairfax Cham. ber of Commerce looking to continu- ance of the service, and authorizes the apointment of a committee to co- operate with the neighbo: body in working out a plan that will have that effect. Aid to Development. Since its inauguration in 1892, it was pointed out, the rallway has proved a great inducement ta_home ‘seekers, both in Arlington and™ Fair- fax Counties, and i the credit for the two communities, Ashton C. Jones, in urging some- :m:ing ‘to be done to save the road, “Should the service be discontinued, the loss in property values in Arling- ton and Fairfax Counties would be hard to -estimate. While there are sections of Arlington County that have good bus service, there are hun- dreds of citizens further in the county and extending to Fairfax that would be greatly affected, not only in prop- erty values, but they would have no means of transportation to and from Washington. There is no question but where there is a good car service that section is bound to be benefited. Take the road away and the citizens of both Arlington and Fairfax Coun- g&“ will soon see the effect it will ve.” All-Time Secretary Needed. Clarence R. Ahalt, president of the chamber, who presided, called atten- tion to the urgent need of an all-time secretary for the organization, follow- ing which a committee, consisting of Ashton C. Jones and K. A. Brumback, was appointed to consider a number of applications that had been made for the place and to make recom- mendations to the next meeting of the board. A man of wide business ability, with strong personality and abllity to di- rect, is thie man who should be en- gaged, Mr. Ahalt declared.

UTILITIES BOARD AGTION DEFERRED|™ Legal Adviser Will Not Be Named at This Time, Bell Announces. Appointment of a/legal adviser to the Public Utilities Commission, a new office created in the appropria- tion act for the current fiscal year, will not be made by the Commissioners because of the temporary tenure of the office and the lack of need of that officer at the present time, it was an- nounced today by Engineer Commis- sioner J. Franklin Bell, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission. A salary of $5,800 a year is pro- vided for the attorney for the com- mission in the current appropriatign act. “Such an attorney has been urgent- 1y needed, and considerable attention has been devoted recently to the sele tion of a suitabl man,” said a state- ment issued by Commissioner Bell. “The Commissioners have decided, however, not to make the appoin ment for the following reasons: “I. The probability that a new Pub- lic Utilities Commission will be func- tioning in about six months makes the proposed position a temporary one and several of the best prospective appointees would not be willing to ac- cept this temporary position without some assurance of subsequent ap- pointment on the new commission or as people's counsel. Such assurance cannot be given. 2, It is manifest that the public interest would not be greatly bene- fited by a temporary employment, es- pecially as Congress is not in session, some of the courts are not in session, and the present commission will not initiate matters of major importance which cannot be completed before the new commissoners are appointed.” The bill providing for a separate Public Utilities Commission passed by Congress at its last session, but not signed by President Coolidge, also cre- ates the position of people’s counsel for the commission at a salary of $7.500 g year R VSR RS Grimsby and Skegness stations, London, erected for wireless commu- nication with India and Australia, are to be opened in August.
