TESTIMONY BEEUN INRAL SOINE T Evidence Being Taken in Rockville Before Examiner in Chancery. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md,, July 16.—Takoma Park’s fight to oust the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad from the use of one of! the town's parks, alongside the railway right of way, as an unloading point for heavy freight, went into another stage esterday, when the taking of testimony {egnn before Kenneth Lyddane, ex- .aminer in chancery, here. Railroad officials, including several former agents of the company at Takoms Park, D. C., occupled the stand all day yesterday. ‘President Daniel Willard of the Balti- more & Ohio and W. I. Bishop, in- dustrial manager of the company, have been summoned to appear on Wednes- day, for examination in connection with ithe controversy. The rairoad presi- | dent, it is alleged, wrote a letter to the town officials saying that the company’s ractice was to be neighborly, and if he People did not want the siding steps would be taken to adjust the matter. However, he said, it is asserted that in view of the fact that an election, at which the siding was an issue, was to be held, action would be deferred to see the results. The siding opponents won, but the railroad still continues to use the siding. It is probable that he will be examined on this point. Admitted Town Ownership. Mr. Bishop, according to the record in the case, sent & letter to a Takoma Park institution as far back as 1923 asserting that the town of Takoma Park owned the property and that the rail- Yoad company had no authority to gram. a permit for the erection of a uilding on the park site. The testimony now being taken, and which is expected to require four dn{: {to present, will culminate on Friday in. Ithe presentation of arguments by both sides on the motion of the town to dis- miss the temporary injunction granted by the Montgomery County Circuit Court restraining the town or its of- ficlals from in any way interfering with the carrier in its use of the land, even restraining the municipal corporation |from enforeing a criminal ordinance <grombmng the use of the park lands y_vehicles. The siding is located in the midst of @ district zoned as residential, and dumping of heavy freight into steel- bottomed trucks from early morning until late at night and on Sundays, it s said, has so riled citizens that they \are up in arms, some of them even say- ing that they will be forced to sacrifice their homes if the practice is allowed to continue.

CTZENS PROTEST STREET CRADING Potomac Residents Stage Im- promptu Meeting With Coun- cil to Complain. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. POTOMAC, Va., July 16.—Protesting against execution of the town council’s plan for grading Mount Ida avenue from Tarrett to Lloyd avenue, approxi- mately 50 residents of the eastern sec- tion of Potomac staged an impromptu indignation meeting at the town hall last night and asked representatives of the council to change the present plan for grading that street to protect their property from being washed away by rainfail, Fairness Admitted. Admitting the logic and fairness of the protest, Mayor Walter B. Fulton and Councilman Harry Hampton re- warded the property owners with the promise that the council would meet with them on the site f the grading work tonight at 6 o'clock to discuss the situation and attempt to devise a more Satisafctory plan for grading that area. Gathering shortly before the appoint- ed hour of the regular semi-monthly meeting of the council, the citizens ap- peared in the council chamber prepared Henry W. Routenberg, assistant di- vision engineer of the Baltimore district of the railroad, was the first witness yesterday. He testified that the volume of freight for Takoma has increased materially during the past decade, but could not say just how much. He as- serted that freight consigned to Ta- koma, D. C., was frequently placed on | the North ‘Takoma, Md. siding, but | that if the consignee objects to Teceiv- ing it at the latter point it was held ! out until there was a vacancy on the District siding. He also admitted that the North Takoma siding has been | engthened 243 feet within the last few i years. Efforts were made yesterday by J. | Bond Smith, corporation counsel of Ta- | koma, to get into the record the letter | purporting to have been written by Mr. | Bishop admitting ownership of the | property to be vested in the town, but on objection of railroad counsel, Wil- liam Stanley of Laurel and Willlam F. | Prettyman of Rockville, it was rejected | :)e“canse Mr. Routenberg could not iden- ‘When M. W. Phillips, who was station | agent at Takoma, D. C., from 1903 to 1908, took the stand, and railroad coun- sel on direct examination began ques- | tioning him as to passenger traffic at | North Takoma during that period. coun- sl for both sides had a long wrongle, the | Tawyers for the town objecting on the fround that passenger traffic was not | involved in the suit. After all the argu- | ment, and the witness answered, he sald he didn't know anything about the pas- senger traffic. He testified that during the five-year period he was there, only abous 15 cars were unloaded at North Takoma and that the track was not used for storage purposes. Use of Siding Heavy. ‘The railroad company at the present time finds much use for the North Ta- koma siding, according to the testimony of Harry Silverman, who has been the station agent at Takoma from 1919 to the present time. He asserted that the North Takoma siding was used when | space was not available at the Takoma, D. C, siding, where there are two rail- road and one private sidings. He produced the car records of the station, but could not tell from them what cars sent to the North Takoma siding had been consigned to the Dis- trict point. He cited figures &s to the number of cars each month which were | “spotted” on the North Takoma siding | from 1926 to the present time. He did | testify, however, to his bellef that not more than 5 pes cent of the total num- | ber of cars sent to the North Takoma siding were consigned there, the 95 per | cent representing cars which were “spotted” there as a matter of operating convenience for the railroad. He said also that the figures indicated that the Vine street siding, in the District, was to voice their protests on the grading nlan before the executive body, but the council could not raise a quorum and the meeting resolved itself into an open discussion of the situation. It is the contention of the property holders along Mount Ida avenue that the garding work, which was started last. week and is being pushed forward rapidly, will leave their land unpro- tected against rains, inasmuch as the street must be lowered as deep as seven feet in many places, which, they claim, ultimately will cause severe washouts. Many asserted that they plan to ask that retaining walls be constructed around their poprerty if the council ulmenda to continue with its present plan, Hope to End Drainage. By lowering Mount Ida avenue to establish a uniform grade with nearby streets, the council had hoped to end a drainage problem which has puzaled it for a number of years by the successful draining of the Abingdon subdivision and the property along the section of Mount_Ida avenue where the grading work is now being accomplished. However, it has been ascertained that the seven foot cut will leave a good deal of the property fronting on Mount Ida avenue susceptible to washouts and it was this fact that caused the protest. Following the meeting with the citizens, the council will gather in its council chamber at the town hall to transact the business which was to have been taken up last night. ALEXANDRIA.

He admitted, however, that it might be better for local con- | signees to have space at the District siding. Interrogated as to the method . of unloading the heavy freight, and the hours of unloading, he sald that it be- an about 7:30 in the morning. he had ever heard the noise at Ta- ! koma, D.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md., July 16— | Unable to reach an agreement as to | the purchase, use and occupation of property necded for the extension of Rhode Island avenue from the District line to Hyattsville, the State Roads Commission has filed suits in Circuit Court at Marlboro asking that the land involved be condemned. Two suits have been filed, one against Morris L. Weinstein and Mrs. Lena Weinstein, his wife, and the other | against Mrs, Annie H. Himmelfarb. Both involve lots in Melrose Park subdivi- | slon, and_a sheriff’s jury will hear the case on the sites on July 26. Record Owner. Mrs. Himmelfarb is described as the “record owner” in the suit against her, which, in addition, names Paul Him- melfarb, her husband; Marcus Him- melfarb - and Minnie Himmelfarb, his wife, and Hyman Terrish and Bessie Terrish, his wife, “former record own- ers,” as defendants. The Himmelfarb property is described as “all of lots 2 and 3, of Melrose Park subdivision, lying between the north- west line of the Washington Rallway & Electric Co.'s land, and a line drawn parallel to and approximately 55 feet from the center of the electric tracks.” The suit against Weinstein and his | wife, the “tenants by the entirety,” in- volves the land and buildings on lot 1, Melrose Park subdivision, which lies between Melrose avenue and the land now occuvled by the Washington Rail- way & Electric Co., and a 15-foot alley between lots 1 and 3 of Melrose Park. Roads Board Acts. The suit is brought by G. Clinton Uhl, Howard Bruce and John K. Shav;, constituting the State Roads Commis- sion, for the State of Maryland, and T. H. Robinson, attorney general of the State, s listed as chief counsel. Other attorneys for the government are Rob- ert H. Archer, assistant attorney general of Maryland, and Willlam Stanley. The filing of the sults terminates & long series of negotiations which failed to reach an agreement. The suits are the first that the State has found nec- essary to secure the rights of way for the extended avenue, which, together with the overhead bridge now under construction, will not only entirely elim- inate the hazardous Hyattsville grade- crossing, but is expected to enhance the value of the property along the route, Store on Property.

The Weinstein property is now occu- fed by & store which will be demol- hed when the avenue is extended, it was said at the office of the State Roads Commission, where the second set of bids for the construction of the road| have been filed, unawarded, for several ‘weeks.

CASES WITHINLAW, POTOMAG CLAIMS Have LegaI‘ Right to Make Ar-‘ rests Mile From Town, Officials Say. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. POTOMAC, Va., July 16.—Asserting that both he and local policemen are within the law in prosecuting ahd ar- resting traffic law violators for offenses committed within one mile of the cor- porate limits of the town, Mayor Walter | B. Fulton stated today that he has nothing to fear from the American Au- tomobile Association’s threat to open a legal battle in an attempt to wrest him of his judicial powers. Actlon Follows Conviction. The announcement that the associa- tion would endeavor to prevent Mayor Fulton from presiding as magistrate in trials of traffic law violations and also to prohibit Potomac policemen from making arrests outside the corporate limits was made following the convic- | tion of Joseph C. Manian of 621 Nine- teenth street northwest, Washington, on a charge of speeding in the Police Court here last night and the imposi- tion of a $16 fine. It is the claim of Charles E. Collins and Albert E. Brault, members of the association’s counsel, that Virginia law, in fixing the salary of the mayor, pro- hibited him from presiding in traffic cases. Collins stated that it is the practice here for the mayor to receive $3, the prosecuting attorney $1. the clerk of the court $1 and each witness 50 cents from such cases. “Collins has an old statute of the State in mind,” Mayor Fulton said in commenting upon the association's bat- tle threat. “We are perfectly within our right in enforcing the law within 1 mile of the corporate limits, and we have nothing to fear. We will continue our enforcement of the State's traffic law just as we have in the past.” Arrested Sunday, Manian was arrested Sunday night by Policeman M. B. Wright and George W. Embrey on the River road between Washington and_ Alexandria, and was forced to leave his watch and chain, which he valued at $75, in lieu of $16 collateral to obtain his release. He later returned with the $16 and claimed his watch and chain. Manian made & report to the District of Columbia division of the American Automobile Association, and Collins & Brault appeared in night when the case was called. Both policemen testified that Manian was driving at a rate of more than 40 miles per hour when taken into custody. They admitted that the arrest was made outside the town limits. By virtue of their admission, Collins sought two direct verdicts of acquittal, one on the grounds that the policemen exceeded their authority in making the arrest outside their jurisdiction and the other on the ground that the Virginia law prohibits the mayor from presiding in traffic cases. ‘Walter U. Varney, corporation attor- ney, explained that the officers’ actlons were justified because of an ordinance permitting arrests within a mile of the town limits and that the mayor also was permitted to preside at the trial because of the town rule granting him such authority. Mayor Fulton dismissed the motion for an acquittal and imposed the $16 fine customary in speeding cases. Col- lins noted an appeal, which cost Manian $5 more, and stated he intend- ed to carry the case to the highest court in Virginia if necessary. ‘The case will go before Judge Howard W. Smith in the Circuit Court for Arlington County. The date for irial has not been set. BASE BALL PLAYER HURT IN AUTO CRASH Lonnie Whiteside Also Fatally In- jured When Car Goes Over Embankment.
