MEXICAN OFFICIAL ENTERS BOMB CASE Consul General at New York Will Defend Four Accused Fellow- Countrymen. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 10.—New York State in its prosecution of four men for the bombing of the Brooklyn Supreme Court House early Monday morning has run into an interna- tion snag. When the quartet was arraigned counsel for the Mexi- can consulate appeared and an- nounced that none other than the Mexican consul general would defend them, as they are citizens of that republic. This led Department of Labor offi- clals to institute an investigation to determine whether they had entered the United States legatly. It is “to prevent a possible repeti- tion of the Sacco-Vanzetti case,” said Robert Wilson, representing the Mexi- can consulate, that Mexico is taking & hand. Sacco and Vanzetti were avowed Anarchists and the defend- ants in the bombing case have been accused of exploding the bomb in an anarchistic demonstration. The execution of Sacco and Van- zetti was regarded in many circles in Mexico as growing out of anti- radical prejudice. It was in Mexico }hl!

Development Where Converge All Main Arteries of Travel Northward from the Nation’s Capital OME is where the Heart is. And here is the natural heart of “ashmgton s future home development. Here is the logical place in which to build for posterity—the safest place to invest for prosperity. The Northern Portal of Washington is the converging point of all arterial highways leading northward from the Capital. From this gateway radiate the important motor roads through Maryland—spreading fanwise to include the rapidly developing communities known as Maryland-North-of-Washington. The trend of Washington for many years has been towards the North. Re- cently, the enormous growth of the Nation’s Capital has been in- creasingly rapid. Now the future of Maryland-North-of-Washing- ton is upon the threshold of unprecedented development. With its strategic location; with its proposed surrounding parks and excel- lent boulevards; its high elevation and natural scenic beauty; with its already incorporated urban conveniences—the immediate future of Marvland-North-of-Washington is inevitably one of progress. Consider these facts: Running north out of the District of Columbia, there are no streets between Chevy Chase and Hyattsville, six miles east and west, that do not go through Maryland-North-of-Washington. The North Portal to the District, at Sixteenth Street and the District Line, is within a mile of all the communities comprising Maryland-North-of Washington. Another gateway of traffic for one of the main entrances to the Capital City is pro- posed by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission at the intersection of Alaska and Georgia Avenues, Kalmia Road and Eastern Avenue at the District Line. This gateway will be the entrance to the business section of Mary- land-North-of-Washington. A Thronged Boulevard This portal will be a circular treatment into which eight streets and highways will converge traffic through Maryland-North-of-Washington into and out of the District. It will make the broad parking and Boulevarded business section of Silver Spring the major approach. This 100 to 140 foot wide paved plaza with its three-fourths of a mile stretch will be a thronged thoroughfare, brilliantly illumined in more effective manner than any similar Washington avenue. It will be the center of commercialized activity for this entire section. Two Parks The proposed extension of Rock Creek Park forms the western boundary of this territory, as Rock Creek Valley must be included in the Mary- ashi; 'ons E \ Outstandi 3 Suburbanu" j Communities Silver Spring Blair-Takoma East Silver Spring Woodside Woodside Park North Woodside Seven Oaks Wynnewood Park Indian Spring Terrace Blair Four Corners 2 land park district. Another park proposed is Sligo Valley where most of the needed land has been dedicated—second in beauty only to Rock Creek Valley—will form a central parkway. And the valley of the Northwest Branch, including the famous scenic section of Burnt Mill, will comprise the Eastern Boundary of this district. Through these important parkways, the available property in the beautiful Maryland-North-of-Washington has its values protected and assured. This unusual beautification will afford the advantages of recrea- tional facilities, athletic fields, swimming pools, etc. Four country clubs—Indian Spring, Montgomery Country Club, Argyle and the Manor Club, have recognized the potentialities of this section by loca- ting in Maryland-North-of-Washington. You can buy property in this desirable territory as reasonably as you can buy in the poorest, unde- sirable, row-house sections of Washington. The average lot price in Maryland-North-of-Washing- ton communities is 30 cents a square foot. In any corresponding first-class location the average price is $1.00 a square foot! The fact that this is the bottle neck of traffic through which 16th Street, Georgia Avenue and 14th Street enter, the only direct highways leading northward from downtown, makes the rapid upward progress of values certain. Six Miles From Downtown Maryland - North - of - Washington is the only moderately priced territory within six miles of the downtown section of the Capital that has an eleva- tion of 300 feet over the center of the city. On 16th Street, Massachusetts Avenue, Connecticut Avenue, there is no available moderate priced property. Yet here, as near as any of those desirable locations, is the opportunity for the modest home investor. Its -approach through the 16th Street Boulevard, the residential section, or through the business high- way, Georgia Avenue, with ample bus and trolley facilities, gives Maryland-North-of-Washington an immediate accessibility. The greatest insurance companies in the coun- try and the Washington and Baltimore banks have recognized the desirability of this Maryland-North- of-Washington location and homes may be financed at the lowest procurable rates. No interest rate exceeds 6% in Maryland-North-of-Washington. The Silver Spring Chamber of Commerce will prepare information concerning the advantages of the section for home builders and the opportunities for business enterprises. 3 E\TVRDAY SEPTEMBER 10. 1927.0 o oee \ /i’roposad)?qwk Creek Park extanded Golé ' Ct 5 e |ndu\\5pr|n9 Golf CQb ¢ INDIAN SPRING \ H TERRACE WOO0DSIDE g G \ WOODSIDE PARK W SEVEN 1> /AN WYNNEWOOD Monlgomery ® Colntry Sciaon C.
