Staft Correspondent of The Star, COTTAGE CITY, Md, April. 23— Despite the fact that the town com- missioners of Cottage City have refused to grant them a permit to establish an orphan asylum within the corporate limits of that town, and that the school authorities of Prince Georges County are opposing their project, officials of the American Children's Aid Society, 315 John Marshall place, are renovat- ing the old Friend's Hotel, 4217 Varney street, Cottage City, with the intention of occupying the premises without a permit, it was learned today. A permit was refused the society by the town leaders at a special meeting iwo weeks ago, when they are said to have failed to obtain the signatures of 75 per cent of the land owners within a distance of 500 feet of the proposed orphanage as required by the town ordinances. Two Petitions Presented. Two petitions were presented at that time. According to Town Treasurer H. M. Johnson, one of these, which had been circulated by the society, con- tained about 30 signatures of persons eapproving the idea of an orphan asylum on Varney street, and the other, pre- sented by persons living close to that locality, carried the names of approx- imately 75 who opposed it. Nearly 90 per cent of the signers of the society’s petition which was first circulated, also signed the other one, Johnson declares. Opposition to the project was based on the theory that the proposed orphanage, an old structure, is unsuit- able for such us nd that an institu- tion of that ki would be undesirable in the community, according to Alan Leighton, town health officer. Officials of the society told the town commissioners they were motivated only by a desire to obtain a permanent home, where the children would have some ground for pl The Varney street property has 2 acres of land, It has already been purchased by the society, the first payment having been made, the town commissioners were advised. Stand of School Officials, County school officials see in the proposition the possibility of having to care for 25 or 30 more children at the Cottage City School. They take the position that the county schools are already overcrowded and that it is an imposition to ask the taxpayers of the county to educate children from the outside. Children at present in the society’s home attend the public schools of the District of Columbia. Work of installing lighting and plumbing fixtures in the former hotel is being carried on at present, and when this is completed it is expected the children will be moved into the building. In taking this step in de- fiance of the town, the society is acting on advice of its counsel, Charles Calvert. Although they refuse to disclose just what steps they plan to take, it is known that the town officials will not let this move go uncontested, and a legal battle over the entire matter seems imminent. v ‘The West Virginia Society will hold & reception in honor of the Govern- or, the Senators and Representatives in Congress from West Virginia at the Willard Hotel Friday evening, April 26, at 9 o'clock.

The county commissioners at their regularly weekly meeting today were informed by Berry E.

A study of the area shows that there are 70,785 square feet to be purchased, and the majority of the holders have been sent letters containing copies of the resolution and asking them to in- form the county authorities of the price at which they will sell. There is only one complication in the matter, and that is the Presbyterian Church, on Court street. A search of the land rec- ords as far back as the establishment of the county in 1776 has been made, but it was said that no deed has been found. Mr. Clark said that he had written to the chairman of the board of trustees_of the church and to the pastor, P. K. Pasma, informing them of the county commissioners’ action. He also is continuing his search to establ a basis for the title, and in this connection is seeking information ifrom Judge Joseph G.

S e {MAN SAVES BOY, 5, FROM POTOMAC RIVER IFather of Child’s Playmate Dives Into Water Fully Clothed to Make Rescue. Five-year-old Ernest Dorsey, 721 H street southwest, was saved from drown- ing yesterday evening by James Leo Dechard of 629 L street southwest, 32- year-old plumber, who dived into the ;chill waters of the Potomac River and brought the hoy to shore after he had almost lost consciousness. Revived by the efforts of Dechard, the child was taken home, given a hot bath and put to bed, but so great was the shock of his experience that it w: midnight before he was able to speak. This morning he was little the worse for the incident. Dechard returned home from work last evening and had prepared for din- ner when he was informed that his son, playing ball with other children on the wharves at Seventh and Water streets southwest, had not returned. He went for the boy, and when he approached the place he heard excited shouts of children. Dechard rushed to the wharf, where the water is about 20 feef deep, but at first could see nothing. Finally one of the little boy's playmates saw him come to the surface and pointed to his shadowy shape. Without stopping to take off his clothes, Dechard leaped into the water, and with a few strokes had reached the child’s side. He then swam with him to a nearby pole, to which he clung until a youth in a boat rowed out to them and- brought them to shore. Erpest is the son of Mr. and Mrs, Ernest Dorsey, who lost a son about {;vurt years ago in an automobile acci- ent. ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., April 23.— Following a trial that lasted the entire day, a jury last night returned a verdict of invol- untary manslaughter against Norwood Estes, 17 years old, of Ballston, Va. who was the driver of an automobile that on January 8 struck and killed Mrs. Frances Bowbeer, 17 years old, near her home, in Ballston. Jail Sentence Suspended. Acting upon the recommendation of the jury, Judge Howard W. Smith sus- pended a jail sentence of a year, but imposed a $500 fine. He has taken under advisement a request by former State Senator Walter T. Oliver, coun- sel for Estes, that the youth be given the opportunity to pay the fine in monthly installments. ‘The testimony showed that Estes and | his stepbrother, Ralph Stevens, 20 vears old, were the occupants of an| automobile that struck Mrs. Bowbeer, | Miss Pauline Newlon, 20 years old, and | James L.

BETHESDA, Md, April 23.—At a meeting of the Bethesda Chamber of Commerce last night' plans were pro- posed and resolutions adopted to com- pletely rehabilitate the organization and enlarge the scope of development. George P. Sacks, speaking in favor of the proposal, made a plea that the chamber enter into the spirit of. re- organization and that every member assist in the activities in which it is engaged. Paul A. Heideke, declared that a town without a Chamber of Commerce is no town at all. He gave two rea- sons for this, one, because every com- munity must have an organization in which its various opinions can be aired, and second, because it tends to make the residents of that community realize |more fully their own possibilities as units of an important civic section. Upon motion of Walter K. Bachrach, seconded by B. W. Parker, the president of the organization, Col. Wallace M.

Special Dispateh to The BALTIMORE, April 23.—Reduction in the fare between Baltimore and Wash- ington is the latest move in the motor bus transportation fight now being waged between lines owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Nevin Bus Line, an independent company. The latter group began service Sat- urday, announcing the one-way fare to ‘Wasliington as $1.25 and the round-trip tarifft as $2.25, the prevailing rates, The opposition’s rates, in addition to reducing the round-trip fare to $1.75, made the one-way price $1. Joseph L. Wickes, transportation en~ gineer of the Public Servise Commis- sion, said the Nevin organization had secured permits from the commission to operate interstate service, but that neither the Pennsylvania, in its own name or in the name of the Philadel- phia Rapid Transit Co, had secured such permits. ‘The Pennsylvania Railroad recently took over the Washington Motor Coach Co. and is operating these busses be- tween here and the Capital.
