POTOMAG CLAIMS - ANNEXATION RIGHT Benefits From Taxes . Paid Arlington County Held, Insufficient. Speaial Tusgipicl to The Star ALEXANDRIA, Va. April 23—The towmr.gf Potomac teday opened its. case in the annexation proceedings which the city of Alexi Arll and Fairfax Counties, when it Court reconvened here for con- tinuation of the trial started in Arling: ton County. ¥ ’ An objection to Potomac’s claim of the right to file an answer in the gn- nexation pi ing was raised by, John S. Barbour, attorney for Arlings ton County and sustained, but later overruled. A resolution setting forth six reasons why desires to be annexed to the City of Alexandria was introduced as evidence, by William Snow, counsel for Potomac. Barbour raised an objec- tion to this being recorded as such, but the objection was overruled.

The losses from the | delay everywhere will be enormous and | it i unnecessary. and, therefore, of | course, inexcusable.” Mr. Dempsey contended that Canada | would suffer no loss from delaying deepening of the Great Lakes' channels | and could afford to await, since that | country already has an oversupply | of transportation facilities while the United States is short of such agencies.” “Wd do not believe that Canada will herself be ready for a long time, If | ever, to negotiate a treaty for the faint | improvement by the Dominion and the United States of the St. Lawrence River for the reasons stated by her in this correspondence,” he said. “The St. Lawrence, when deepened, would take commerce from Canada' government operated railways to their | | loss and at the cost of the Canadian taxpayer.

O. Hul- ‘burt of the naval research laboratory At Anacostia. This layer, resulting from free electrons disassoclated from their | gas atoms, Dr. Hulburt said, could be explained entirely as due to the ultra- violet rays of the sun. Such an explanation was supported, | he said, by measures of the ionization of the upper atmosphere by night and day. Winter and Summer, showing a regular variation with the variation of the amount of ultra-violet rays in sun- light which strike the surface of the | atmosphere. The measurements, he | sald, do away with any need to ex-| plain the electron layer by assuming such things as charged particles from the sun. They fit in with the observed facts of radlo transmission, Mr, Hul- bert sald, such as skip distances, over- head absorption, limiting waves, ranges, :I’:‘d the apparent heights reached by | e waves, Night Sky Light Explained. ‘This also will explain, he said, an | obscure phenomenon of nature which | has puzzled scientists for a long time- | the light of the night sky or nonpolar | aurora, which results from the amount | of energy liberated by the bombaro- ment of the atmospheric atoms by the ultra-violet rays, about 1 per cent of which is transformed into light.

DEATH CARDRVER [SHELD FOR JURY | Police Unable to Set Speed of Nuckols’ Auto When It Hit Abutment. A coroner's jury today held Carroll P. Nuckols of the National Hotel, driver of an automobile in which Mrs. Mamie the annual two-day meeting of the Na- | Cogper was killed early last Friday, | for action of the grand fury. A decided lack of details regarding the accident at the Rhode Island avenue viaduct resulted in a recom- mendation by the jury that the Dis- trict Commissioners appoint officers of the Traffic Bureau to immediately in- vestigate all traffic fatalities from a traffic angle. During the inquest the police seemed | unable to determine the approximate rate of speed at which Nuckols was traveling when he first collided with the automoblle of E. C. Stewart, 20 Charles street, Hyattsville, and then crashed into a pillar of the viaduct. Nuckols is recovering in Sibley Hospital and was unable to appear. Edward J. Beck, 1238 Irving street northeast, night foreman of a garage near the accident, sald that he did not think Nuckols was traveling more than 40 miles an hour. The police previous- 1y reported that he estimated the speed at 70 miles. £ A. Clayton, a grocer, 3301 Twelfth street northeast. who took Nuckols to the hospital. also said that when the car passed him a short distance from the accident, it was not traveling over 40 miles an hour. Stewar!, under examination, denied that he had started to make a left- hand wrn at the time his car was struck. He was questioned very closely by Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt concern- ing the fact that he had anticipated making a left-hand turn, having placed his hand out of the window when the Nuckols car struck the left front wheel of Stewart’s car and then crashed into the abutment.

NEW YORK, April 23.—The mem- bers of the Associated Press, gathered for their annual luncheon and meeting. were told today how their organization and their profession appeared to a noted clergyman and to the head of the world's greatest broadcasting chain and listened to a brief word of approbation from their president. The Assoclated Press at its annual| meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria unani- mously adopted the report ol a special | committee authorizing a bond issue, to | be allocated to all members of the or- ganization. The amount of the issue was fixed at $500,000. | The association also unanimously adopted the report of the special com- | mittee that the right of protest over | the election of new men be extended | to all members who have been in good standing for five years. | Directors Re-elected.

Milton H. Aylesworth, president of the Natfonal Broadcasting Co., told the assembled publishers and editors his ideas of the relation of radio broadcast- in> to the gathering and distribution of news. Tribute by Dr. Cadman. Rev. Dr. 8. Parkes Cadman, prtn-f dent of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, told the members that the Assoclated Press by a blending of sound business sense with unseifish aims and integrity and efficiency in administration had achleved “an unprecedented procedure in the an- nals of your profession and one not often equaled by organizations avowedly altruistic.” Prank B. Noyes, president of The Evening Star Newspaper Co. of Wash- ington, D. C. and president of the Assoclated Press, spoke briefly in com- mendation of the purpose and methods | of the organization. Dr. Cadman said that the record of the Associated Press “offers mo apolo- gles and requires no defense.” “It 1s im| ble to sever the news of the day from the sovereignty of the people or from their lawful freedom,™ he said. “Hence the conviction that rightly understood, freedom as an essen- tial of everything worth while has not lacked resonant press. Susceptible to Abuse. “So long as news was bought and sold like any other commodity, it remained susceptible to abuse and corruption. * + ¢ The newspaper world was threatened by an irresponsible oligarchy sntranced with momentary gain, and the republic was fed on concocted stuff seasoned to the tastes and demands of the caterers and detrimental to pub- lic welfare, ¢ ¢ * “The wisdom of the plan of the Asso- clated Press to band together its Nation- wide membership ¢ *. ¢ is now openly demonstrated. Its refusal to traffic with tributary or sectional organ-~ izations has been amply justified.

No Communists were elected on first ballot, however. 8till, one of the significant facts was their enormous lead over the Socialists in the Paris suburbs and even in some country dis- tricts which had heretofore been re- garded as Socialist strongholds. In the suburbs of Paris the Communistx polled 233,000 votes to the Socielists’ 157.000. In the department of the Loire, an agricultural district, the Communists polled 19,000 to 14,000 for the Socialists. They sprung another ~surprise when they prevented the election of Social- ists in the Nord and Pas de Co- to retain their seats on the first vote and must go before the electorate again. All the other deputies who are mem- bers of the cabinet were re-elected. The cabinet members who failed to ob- tain a majority were Paul Painleve, minister of war: Andre Fallieres. minis- ter of labor, and Henri Queuille. min- ister of agriculture. Their chances on the second ballot were regarded as good. Henry Pranklin-Bouillon. radical So- cialist, also failed of election. Maurice Bokanowski, minister of com- merce, was elected on the first ballot. This came as a surprise. since one of the hardest campaigns had waged against him. - o‘nu Hm;flgmb;n retainedl his seat.

The old Herriot cabinet fared rather badly on the first ballot on the whale, as five of them failed to obtain a ma- jority. Herriot. who is serving as min- ister of public instruction. was elected.
