Speed Is Necessary. Advices received here last nigl e to the effect that Delegate Jesse ced to arrange a_ hearing tor the county delegation, but that such a hearing he reserved the right to make it plain to his colleagues in the House that he does not want the Arlington City bill to be passed at this session. The committee hearing prob- ably will be held Monday afternoon. | Speed is necessary, in the event the bill pass, as the Legislature is planning to adjourn by Wednesday. The group from the county will be fully representative of the Arlington County Civic Federation, the Arling- ton County Chamber of Commerce, the Arlington District Council of Citi zens’ Associations, the Better Govern- ment Commission and other civic bodies, it is understood. The pilgrim- age will be made by automobile, weather permitting. The House committee will have be- fore it, also, three other Arlington County bills which have received Sen ate approval. These are the “twin” loan bills, for the benefit of the schools and the water system, and the county franchise amendment, all sponsored by Senator Ball. May Oppose Water Loan. The school bill authorizes the Board of Education to borrow $85,000, at the discretion of the county supervisors, for the purpose of meeting expenses of the remainder of the present school torm and the beginning of the next term. If the authorization is not ob- tained at this session the county schools must close on May 1, and re- main so until next December. This bill 18 sure of enactment. The proposed water loan of $100,000 s for the purpose of installing fire hydrants and paying interest charges on the bond issue of $750,000. Dele- gate Jesse is known to be “curious” over the necessity for this bill, and he has indicated that he may decide to oppose it. He said he was surprised to learn that so much money is need- | ed by the Water Board this early in its career, and he has not been in- formed of the need for it. | The franchise bill, which seeks to ,Eive to Arlington County the same control over public service corpora- tions as the statutes now give to cities and towns, is reasonably certain of adoption in the House, it is said.

By & Staff Correspondent of The Sta ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 2—The rie for President™ boom was offi cially launched tonight by the Mary land General Assembly, which is clof ing 90-day session here on Mon- day, when the House of Delegates adopted a joint resolution introduced in the upper house by Senator Walter J. Mitchel! of La Plata, Charles Coun questing that Aibert C. Ritchie, Governor of Maryland, become a can: didate for President. The resolution does not have to be signed by the governor. When the r the House by I lution was laid befora Brooke Lee of Silver Spring, Democratic floor leader, James J. Lindsay of Baltimore County promptly moved that the rules be sus- pended and the resolution put on its Delegate Paul U. Berman, Republican, fourth Baltimore district, seconded the reso lution. Delegate Joseph Allison Wil- mer, Republican, of Faulkner, Charles County, moved that the date on the resolution be changed from April 1, as some one might ke 1t for a fools’ day resolution. § r Lee responded that the House wus passing the reso- lution on April 2. Wilmer sat down, saying, “Well, that may cure the de- Speaker for Governor. Joseph E. Joy, Republican delegate from Olivet, Caivert County, in sec- onding the motion to suspend the rule, said that the moving up of the gov- ernor would provide an opportunity for the speaker of the House to- be moved up to the chief executive's chair. Then Mr. Wilmer offered an amendment to_the resolution which sald that E. Brooke Lee of Silver Spring should be promoted to- the United States Senate, David G. Mc- Intosh, jr., of Baltimore Coun president of the Maryland Senate, to governor, and that during the McIn- tosh gubernatorial regime, Senator Walter J. Mitchell should be named lleutenant governor. Lee Indicates Wishes. Delegate ¥ opposed the amendment, saying that such a reso- lution should not be colored in any way by the nddition of other names, to which Speaker Lee of Montgom- ery County added: *“The chair does not want to leave the State and go to Washington,” in- dicating that his eyes are directed toward the State executive mansion should Gov. Ritchie be promoted to be the Nation's Chief Executive. The amendment was lost and Dele- gate Lindsay then moved that the rules be suspended and the resolution be put on {ts third reading and final passage, which was done, on a second to_the motion by Delegate Wilmer. The adoption of the resolution w greeted by prolonged applause by members of the Lower House. $500,000 WATER PLANT ASSURED Will Be Constructed to Supply Maryland Suburban District By a Staff Correspondent of T} ta; ANNAPOLIS, Ma April struction of a large filtration plant ion at Burnt Mills, purpose of providing an P er supply for the metro- politan distric hington, is pro vided for in bill which passed the senate of the Maryland General As.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., April Nearl score of bills affecting Prince Georges County were sent to the gov- ernor for his signature before be- coming laws, when the Senate to- day passed on House bills without amendment. The most important of these was the measure creating a uniformed police force for this county, patterned somewhat after " its sister county, Montgomery. The measure, how- ever, puts the control of the uni- formed police under the county sheriff, an_ elective officer, who Is to be the chief of police. The deputy sheriff is to be the lieutenant of police and they are to receive the salaries now provided for them by law. This measure also cuts out the fee ystem and prohibits the police from | accepting any remuneration except the salarles provided. The force is to consist of three to six men, to be appointed for a period of two years one of whom is to be sargeant, at a salary of $1,800. The privates are to | receive $1,500 cach. The new force 18 to begin operation at once. The Senate also passed the bill pro- viding for control of building construc- tion within the county, and for the is- suance of permits for buildings costing 200 or more, and for remodeling at $500 or more. It prohibits incorporat- ed towns within the area, and which have a permit system, from giving au- thority until after the county permit has been issued. The bill carries a penalty of $10 to $50 fine for its vio- lation. The Senate also passed the bill re ducing the number of constables in Prince Georges County from two to one for each election’ district. This measure was made necessary by the creation of the new police force. Fund for Firemen. Another House bill approved by the Senate directs the county commission- ers to appropriate annually $5,000 to be turned over to the Prince Georges Volunteer Firemen's Association. This fund is to be used for the purchase| and repair of fire apparatus of those | volunteer fire companies within the area which have not passed resolutions limiting their radius of action. The House bill excluding from local | and county taxes, including front- | faot benefit and water service charges of the sanitary district, all property of volunteer fire companies, was passed by the Senate. It fs now ready for executive approval. | A dog licensing law for Prince Georges County is provided in the | House bill, also passed by the Sen- ate. It provides a fee of $1 a year for male dogs; $2 for females; $10| for kennels having 25 dogs or less, | and $25 for more than 25 dogs. It | provides for the appointment of a | dog tax collector in each election district and authorizes the police of | the county to kill dogs that are un- tagge dafter the Ist of October of each year. The Senate also passed the House bill which gives the members of the Board of Education of Prince Georges County $400 a year for traveling and other expenses. The salary of the deputy clerk of Prince Georges County is increased trom $800 to $1,200 in another House bill which passed the Senate. This measure also provides that the | clerk may be county road clerk and may accept a total salary of $1,800. All of the five commissioners of Prince Georges County are authorized to recefve $5 a day each for assess- ing property, in another House bill which passed the Senate. The present law limits this fee to three of the commissioners The county treasurer of Prince rges County is authorized to add 000 a year to clerk hire in a House bill which passed the Senate.

MARYLAND ACTION INSURES GREATER NATIONAL CAPITAL municipal quarters at Silver Spring and Bethesda also was approved by the Senate without amendment. These bulldings are to be the police sub- stations incidental to the policing of the metropolitan area and are to pro- vide officers for the commissioners of the suburban district, the Park and Planning Commission, and the Wash- ington-Suburban Sanitary ~Commis- sion. All County Bills to Pass. The completion of these legislative steps practically clears up Montgom- ery County legislation and the ses- sion will adjourn on Monday night with every bill of interest to Mont gomery County enucted into law. It 18 about certain that there will be no veto to any of the Montgomery County measures, as practically all of them are strictly local bills. The few measures which might be sald to affect the State as a whole are those dealing with the metropoli- tan area, the one creating it and the | other the State debt bill carrying the $100,000 appropriation of the purchase of parks and playgrounds in the area. It is known that these will receive the executive approval. The park and planning measure has received Gov. Ritchie's support from the beginning, and he has many times voiced his sentiment in favor of it, having appointed the first unofficial commission to deal with the matter until the present legislature couid meet. He personally sent to the as- sembly the recommendation for the $100,000 State contribution towards the development of the area adjacent to the National Capital. School Program Approved. The Montgomery County school pro- gram, carrying 16 distinct projects and a bond issue of $450,000, was approved by the Senate tonight. This measure was passed without amendment. and now goes to the governor for signa- tuge Another bond issue affecting the schools of the county is for $150,000 for the construction of gymnasia at the Montgomery County High School at Rockville, the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, at Bethesda, and the Sil- ver Spring-Takoma High School at Takoma. The efforts of certaln resi- dents of the vicinity of Glen Echo to get the school bill amended so as to locate the project in that section nearer to them failed. It was decided at the last minute to leave the measure in- tact as regularly introduced. The other bills which passed the Senate tonight and which go to the D. C., APRIL 3, SPAIN TO PURCHASE HENDERSON HOUSE Mansion at Sixteenth and Fuller Streets Soon to Become Embassy. The Spanish Ambassador has just received authorization from Madrid to complete the purchase for an embassy of the stone mansion on the northeast corner of Sixteenth and Fuller streets owned by Mrs. John B. Henderson and built by her five years ago as a home for the Vice President. Papers will be passed in a few days, it is expected. The purchase of an embassy, for which money was appro- priated several months ago, has been one of the first activities of the new Spanish Ambassador, Senor Don Al ejandro Padilla y Bell, and the embas- sy establishment probably will be set up in its new home soon after the | purchase is completed. An Embassy Center. The building is surrounded by em essies. Mrs. Henderson said yester- day that the purchase is in line with her aspirations to make the Meridian Hill section an embassy center. She planned originally to make the building a permanent home for the Vice Presidents and a memorial to her husband and for that purpose had it| built and furnished. She had planned to place in it the library of her hus- band, who had served on the Senate finance and foreign relations commit- tees and collected a considerable num- ber of books on those subjects. President Coolidge at that time was Vice President and felt that he could not afford to increase living expenses, which would be necessary for so sumptuous an establishment. A bill in Congress to provide for the main- tenance of the building as a residence for Vice Presidents failed. Consequently, Mrs. Henderson's offer of the building to the Govern- ment for that purpose was not ac- cepted. Transaction Is Recent. Since then, she said, she has had several opportunities to dispose of the property advantageously, but has re- fused, waiting patiently until an offer was made by some ambassadorial establishment In her original plans for the build- ing as a residence of the Vice Presi- dents, Mrs. Henderson said yesterday, she had the idea that with a house | of his own, equipped with an attrac- tive dining room and pleasing acces- cories, the Vice President could straighten out over the dining room table many of the misunderstandings that arise between the White House and Congress. He would represent a llaison agent between the two estab- lishments. With ample space for entertaining, she felt, the Vice President’s house- hold could relieve the President of much time and energy in receiving the ever-increasing delegations which come to Washington. Also, she felt, without rent to pay the Vice Presi- dent could be relleved of living in a hotel.

Several other affiliated bodies will meet in con- junction with this convention, which is meeting in Washington for the first time in 43 years. Officers of the American Medical Society have written here that the convention will bring nearly 256000 persons to Wash- ington, as many of the delegates will be accompanied by their families Securing this convention for ‘Wash- ington is a_big feather in the cap of the ‘Washington Convention Bureau and meant many months of hard work. Many Conventions Listed. Warren M. Eaton, who has I»*ep acting secretary of the bureau until the recent arrival of Frank O. Foster, who is in charge, declared that the list of conventions during the Spring season forecasts an unusually active period in this connection. W'aphln_gv ton has about clinched a hold on its title as the ‘convention city.” More than ever, sclentific bodies are show- ing their preference for the Capital, with its governmental laboratories and the Bureau of Standards offering un- usual opportunities for study and in- vestigation. From a “‘show” viewpoint, the city will become a mecca for sightseers this Spring. The temporary White House on Dupont Circle, where Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge are residing during the repair work on the execu- tive mansion and until their departure from the city. is an additional induce- ment to thousands of the curious. Already the stream of visitors to the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington and the Government buildings is increasing rapidly. Delegations of school chil- dren from New York State, Pennsyl- vania, the Middle West and points East and South are beginning to put in their annual appearance, taking advantage of the special railroad rates. River steamboat travel to Mount Vernon is picking up, now that the Winter is over, and the Norfolk and Washington steamboats are bringing in hundreds of visitors each trip. The National Zoological Park, always an attraction for visitors, is preparing to handle a record-breaking crowd Easter Sunday. This park ranks among the foremost in the country and has been augmented this year by nearly 2,000 additional spaci- mens of birds and animals brought from the jungles of Africa by Dr. “Dot” and “High- boy,” the baby giraffes, which are growing taller and taller, will be the center of attraction. Last year 2,500,000 persons visited the Zoo and the majority were not Washing- tonians. " Associations on Record.

Since statisticians have figured that the average daily expenditure of each convention visitor is $17, including hotel accommodations, the officers of the Washington Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants and Manufacturers' Association and other are viewing with unconcealed s faction the increasing growth Washington as a convention city. Merchants Preparing. Now that the Spring season is at hand. the merchants of Washington are vieing with each other in offering their most attractive window displays and putting on the shelves the stocks of Spring goods. Despite the great influx of visitors, however, it is to the 548,000 residents of Washington and the 700,000 in the trading area of the District, that local merchants cater to please. of SAVE ON NEW BUILDING MATERIALS l Tempting‘ Topcoats 319.75 Smart Spring Shades Silk Trimmed Every Blue Has 2 Pairs of Pants 325 Values Charge Accounts el justified in having the |of $500,000 to be floated b > Wash. | increased from $1,5 ) to the expense and trouble | ington Suburban Sanitary ( {on | bill which now goes to the governor of holding an election on a question | for the purpose of erecting this plant. | for his signature.
