10 :¥ : s SUBURBAN NEWQ"« Ly COURTHOUSE PLAN 10 BE CARRIED 0UT Lee Declares Funds Are; Available Despite Senate’s | Defeat of Bond Bills. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md, April 5—Mont- gomery County’s enlarged courthouse | project, involving the purchase and use ! of the square west of the present site, is going to be built, despite the defeat in the State Senate of the bill providing | $175,000 in bonds for the acquisition of the souare, it was stated emphatical - 1y by Maj. E. Brooke Lee, county and State Democratic leader, today. This appeared to be possible, following & study of the measure affecting the courthouse and the widening of Mont- gomery avenue, and the county leaders say that they are going to carry out the program as originally intended. It was pointed out, however, that as | the bill authorizing the county com- missioners to condemn land for public purposes was killed in the Senate, the acquisition of the property will have to | be by purchase, which probably will be more expensive than under condemna- tion proceedings. Could Await Legislation. It was added, though, that if any of the owners seek exorbitant prices, such parcels will be left until the next ses- sion of the Legislature, when further efforts will be made to get the con- demnation bill through. The bill which originally passed the House of Delegates providing $150,000 additional for the courthouse construc- tion was amended in the Senate by providing only $130,000, but with al stipulation that $30,000 of this amount could be used for the purchase of a triangle of land in the square west of the courthouse and the removal of the line of Court street between the pres- ent court square and the proposed new site. On the other hand, one of the Yoad bills was amended so as to pro- vide $50,000 for the purchase or con- demnation of land necessary for the widening of Montgomery avenue 16 feet. ‘Would Remodel Buildings. Those familiar with the problem in- volved say that it will be necessary under this plan to take off the fronts of a number of the buildings in this area, and that the county will have to bear the expense of remodeling and moving the front walls back for the distance authorized. It was added that it will be cheaper to purchase the whole lot, and this they plan to do. These two funds give a total of $80,000 to acquire a portion of the land either by pur- chase or condemnation. ‘The bill designed to provide funds for the acquisition of the whole square would have authorized $175,000. Of this amount, it was said the two meas- yres provide nearly half and the re- mainder will be taken from the $200,000 af county emergency certificates of in- debtedness which the commissioners at the 1927 session of the Legislature were authorized to issue. Some of these were tied up in school and road bonds, but will be released by refunding bond bills @pproved by the session just closed. ; If the remaining $90,000 is taken from these emergency funds, then it was said further, it would leave $110,- | 000 for other purposes, including the building of needed schools and roads and the elimination of the Kensington grade crossing. ‘This, too, will be built, it was said, and at the site of the pres- t overhead bridge west of Connecticut venue, COLLECTION OF OVERDUE REALTY TAXES SOUGHT| Commonwealth's Attorney Files| Total of 200 Suits in Arling- ton County. )y a Staft Correspondent of The Star.

ANTHONY ARGUMENTS HEARD Mrs. Peters - Parkhurst| Charges Mrs. Adams With Fraud on :Petition. By the Associated Pres RICHMOND, Va., April 5.—Counsel representing that faction of the Susan | B.

The two factions are at odds for the control of the or- ganization, records of the commission show, one seeking to sustain the recent order of the commission dissolving the foundation and the other seeking to have that order set aside. | Elmer J. Binford of Washington, at- torney for those opposing Mrs. Adams, in his opening statement declared that he proposed to show that some of the signatures presented by Mrs. Adams were procured by “false and fraudulent | representation.” Mrs. Peters-Parkhurst, director of the Maryland - branch of the organization, took the stand to testify that four of those whose names appeared on the petition for disso- lution told her that the nature of the document which they signed was misrepresented to them by Mrs. Adams. ‘Testimony of wit- nesses in opposi- tion to Mrs. Adams occupied the ses- ion yesterday. 'R. Lynch Montague, counsel _for . the faction led by Mrs Adams, said that he expected to pre- sent testimony, and that he would take only an hour or two for his presentation of the case. Two groups of women, it was brought out, are claiming to be officers of the organization, and two groups likewise claim to be members of the board of di- | rectors. Witnesses testified that Mrs. Adams became presidenz of the foundation upon the gnatlan of a president, and, after g the unexpired term of the president, .she was not re-elected.

By the Assoclated Press. ‘Word from Ottawa that the Canadian government had decided to make the sinking of the Canadian rum runner I'm Alone the subject of formal repre- sentation to the American Government was interpreted by unofficial and diplo- matic circles here as a move on the part of the Canadians to bring the anti-rum smuggling treaty of 1924 up for formal discussion. \The treaty, made between the United States and Great Britain, is binding on Canada. A number of divergent views are held by officials of the two govern- ments on just what points the treaty covers and it has been known for some time that both the British and Canadian governments, in connection with pre- vious rum-running incidents, have been anxious to discuss the divergent points with the Americans.

The Canadian legllmn said that the only move it has made in the case was the Inquiry several days ago by the Canadian Minister, Vincent Massey, for information regarding the incident. ‘There has been an inclination, during the last few days in some quarters here to belleve that the Canadians might drop the case, hence no move in the way of an apology or steps to straighten out the tangle were made by the Amer- ican authorities. It is generally believed that the Ca- nadians are more interested in the prin- ciples of the case with regard to the treaty than they are with the actual sinking. ‘The 1924 treaty, while giving certain reciprocal rights to Great Britain for co-operation against the rum smug- | glers, is believed by the Canadians to hl:\'e been of little reciprocal value to them. ‘The unofficial Canadian view is that the case will be predicated on th!!e; points.
