C, MONDAY, THREE 0 TO AL AFTERLONG AT Convicted in Oyster House Liquor Raid, They Must Serve Terms. ‘The long legal fight to keep William Deegan, '28; Francis Deegan, 21, and Clarence Myers, 35, out of prisop ended today when the three men, who were arrested on charges of illegal sale and possession of liquor after a raid last August on the Ambassador Oyster House, 2100 block of Eighteenth street, were ordered to jail. ‘The raid on the oyster house attract- ed wide attention because of charges made by a bystander that he was dragged into the house while ‘watching the raid and beaten by a dry officer. Judge John P. McMahon, presiding in Police Court last February, when the three were found guilty by a jury, sen- tenced illlam Deegan and Myers to serve 180 days in jail and pay a fine of $500, and Francis Deegan to serve 360 days in addition to a $500 fine. Francis Deegan received the more severe sen- tence because there were two counts of sale and possession against him.

E, Church of Falls CI Gardiner Boothe of Alexandria, the presidents of the two roads, and by Mr. Embhardt, the auditor of the two roads. These gentlemen last week appeared be- fore the corporation commission in Richmond, asking for a rehearing of | the assessment on the rails and ties of the two roadbeds. Y At present the rails and ties of the Arlington-Fairfax Railway are assessed at $90.000, or practically $3,000 per mil The directors of the company are ask- ing the corporation commission to cut this assessment to $1,000 per mile, which would still be in excess of what wgs paid for the road. ‘When the citizens of Fairfax and Ar- lington County got together to save this public utility to the community they paid $125,000 in 5 per cent bonds, issu- ing stock in the road to the amount of $80,000. The road at present is merely paying operating expenses, the interest on the bond issue being met out of the fund arising from the sale of stock. The company is being taxed $10,000 a year, | and directors claim that they are as- sessed on & basis of a valuation of $500,000 rather than the $125,000 which they actually paid. ‘The State Corporation Commission | last year, and again this year, accepted the railroad’s figures on all assessments except that of ties and rails, which they fixed at three times the amount set by the company. Mr. Church and Mr. Booth were given very sympathetic hearing last Wednesday before the com- mission, and are hopeful that following the personal inspection to be made to- dey by Mr. Eppes the commission will gramt their plea for a revaluation, SHOW LABOR DAY.
