T THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D _C, MAY 26 STAR MODEL HOME ON DISPLAY TODAY Kenwood Exhibit Prepared, for Crowds With Staff to Greet Visitors. Every preparation has been made for the accommodation of crowds of visi- | tors at the Kenwood model home, the first of the serles of six sponsored by The | Star and Operative Builders' Associa- tion, which goes on exhibition today. This dwelling, specially constructed | and furnished so as to be an exemplar for prospective builders or buyers of homes, is to be open to the public for a month. At the end of that time the activity of The Star in connection with | this house will cease and the builders, the Kennedy-Chamberlin Development | Co., will take it over and dispose of it | as they see fit, ! Located on Kennedy drive in Ken- | wood, Md., it is easily accessible over | good roads by two Toutes. The first leads out Wisconsin avenue across the | District line to Dorset avenue, west on Dorset avenue to Kennedy drive, which is marked by an arrow pointing the way, and then north to the house. The other approach is by way of Con- necticut avenue and Bradley lane. Turning west at the intersection of | these two thoroughfares, one proceeds | along Bradley lane, across Wisconsin | avenue to Kennedy drive and then south | to the demonstration house. { | Staff to Be On Hand. A staff of six persons will be there to | conduct those interested in better | homes through this modified French | provincial style dwelling. In addition | a limited number of pamphlets descrip- | tive of the house will be distributed. The hooklet explains all the features of the | home and contains as well pictures and directions for reaching the other model | homes sponsored by The Star. | Previous to placing it on exhibit and after completion, the demonstration | dwelling was carefully inspected by The Star model homes committee, whe found | that it met the rigid requirements laid | down before its construction. The com- | mittee is composed of Monroe Warren, president of the Operative Builders’ As- sociation; W. J. Waller, vice president of the District of Columbia Bankers’ Association: Horace Peaslee, president of the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects; Ben T. Webster, president of the Washington Real Estate Board; Maj. Donald A. Davidson, as- sistant Engineer Commissioner of the District, and Rufus S. Lusk, executive secretary of the Operative Builders’ Association. Eighteenth Century Style. The house is furnished throughout by W. B. Moses & Sons' department store in eighteenth century style with rticular emphasis placed on Shera- gn and Duncan Phyfe pieces. ‘The construction is of brick and the roof is slate. The interior of the first fioor is unpapered, the walls and ceilings having a decorative finish trowled on and covered with a delicate apricot laze.

On the second floor are a master bedroom, a smaller bed- room, & guest room and a den. Every modern convenience has been installed and besides this there are many unusual features not to be found elsewhere.

NEW HEARING SOUGHT IN DE KING SLAYING Tllinois Legislators, Closing Their Inquiry, Favor Selection of New Prosecutor. By the Asgociated Press. AURORA, Ill, Msy 25—The State legislative investigation into the slaying of Mrs. Lillian De King by a dry raider, two months ago, was completed today. Several members of the committee said emphatically that conditions in the county, as revealed by their inquiry, needed changing. It appeared that an immediate result of the legislative inquiry would be the filing of a petition in Circuit Court for | the appointment of a special prosecutor to reopen the grand jury investigation. Attorney Albert J. Kelly, representing the De King family, was advised to file such a petition and said he planned to do 80 next week. The first grand jury returned only | one indictment, one for perjury against Eugene Boyd Fairchild, the investigator | who swore falsely to the warrant on which the raid was based. | ‘The committee learned that Carbary's | investigators had spent $12,000 since he took office last December 4. Their ex- penses, as itemized for the county | suditor, included horse racing bets, | arettes and cigars and incidental items | which the committee inferred might in- | clude the entertainment of Women. Auditor Fred Butke, however, said Car- | bary's office had collected $32,000 in| fines and forfeitures since he took charge. “Toronto, Canada, is to have a new | subway under the heart of the cit STAR MODEL HOME MOTHER SLAYS THREE CHILDREN; SUICIDES Financial Worries Drive Woman to Take Lives of Three of Seven Offspring. By the Associated Press. LEBANON, Ky., May 25.—Apparently worried over finAncial troubles, a mother who Thursday said she “would net go through another day likd this,” yester- day kept her word, taking three of her children in death. ‘The mother, Mrs. Mamie Shey Shoaf, was found dying in a cemetery here to- day, and near her were the bodies of Tom, 2; Ina, 7, and Catherine, 11, her children, all with throats slashed. The mother apparently had killed the chil- dren, then cut her own throat. She died soon after being found. Groans coming from under a tar- paulin In the cemetery led two colored youths to find the dying woman. She pointed weakly to a fleld nearby, where the bodfes of the children weré found.

By the Associated Press. BUFFALO, N. Y, May 25.—A Cana- dian customs collector, whose letter, written a year ago, criticizing American officials as lax in checking rum running on the Niagara River, was read recently in the House of Commons, declared to- day he referred not to American cus- toms men, but to the Coast Guard. This statement led Lieut. Martin W. Rasmussen, in command of the Coast Guard in this district, to issue a denial of the charges. In answer to Frank T. Pattison, col- lector of customs of Bridgeburg, Ont., Lieut. Rasmussen said the patrolling of Niagara River was not handled by his men. Asked as to the charge in his letter | that a bootlegger had told members of his staff that members of the American “dry squad” had helped him unload his | boat, Pattison said he had been told the officers referred to were Coast Guards- men. | _“All T can say is that Mr. Pattison is |1l informed,” Lieut. Rasmussen said. “The Coast Guard has nothing to do with enforcement of liquor laws on the | Niagara,” Rasmussen continued. “We work only on Lake Erie and in Buffalo Harbor. Nor were we working the Ni- agara a year ago.” Mr. Pattison sald today he had the highest regard for American customs officials and that they were “doing their best to enforce the law.” .
