K. Plaintiff Alleges Prince Georges Board Exceeded Authority in Refusal. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., October 18.—Claiming the action of the Prince Georges County commissioners in re- fusing to grant the Penn Realty Co. permission to erect a filling station in Laurel was “beyond the contemplation of the law,” T. Howard Duckett, attor- ney for the company, has instituted mandamus proceedings in Circuit Court here against the county commissioners to compel them to issue the permit. The property involved is at Mont- gemery avenue and the Baltimore Boulevard. The realty company filed an application for the necessary permit on June 23 and after several postpone- ments a hearing was granted on Sep- tember 17. At that time some residents of Laurel voiced objection to the proposed filling station, one of their arguments being that it was directly across from a church. Following the hearing the commissioners refused to issue the pers mi nd have ever since refused, ace cording to the realty ccmpany's peti- tion for a mandamus. Attorney Duckett points out, however, that there already is a filling station diagonally across the street from the lot owned by the realty company. The petition states that the county commissioners can sit only in an ad- ministerial capacity and are without dis- cretion in such matters. Their action therefore is character- ized as “arbitrary, beyond the con- templation of the Ja%" and deprived the company of the uce of its land without due_process of law. All of which, the pptitions hold, is in violation of the Fedcral Constitution, the Maryland bill of rights and the constitution of the State of Maryland. Judge Joseph C. Mattingly will hold a hearing on the petition on October 29. Parent-Teachers Organize.

COUNCIL BANS NIGHT DANGES President Says Prohibition Agents Will Be Present at Foot Ball Game Today. Special Dispatch to The Star. CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, October 19.—A resolution forbidding the giving of all-night dances save when they are specially authorized by a competent au- thority, was passed yesterday at a meet- ing of the president and administrative council of the University of Virginia. The council declares that these type of dances have a bad effect on the pupils and the standing of the school. The ruling, according to the council, applies to fraternity houses and the university community, as well as the precincts of the university. A ruling banning the making of mov- ing pictures of any place within the grounds of the institution, unless per- mission was granted by the proper school authoriiles, was passed by the council. This edict, it was said, was precipifated ‘through the discredit Te- flected on the school by & picture filmed at the school last year, All students living in dormitories or lodging places provided by the univer- sity are required to sign a clause in- serted in the lease prohibiting the pos- session or use of intoxicants, it was learned yesterday. This edict is criticized in the leading editorial of College Topic, student pub- lication at the school. The editorial asserts that the clause is “merely a bold gesture, perhaps a political ges- | ture, never meant to be observed.” An Associated Press dispatch declared today that President Edwin A. Alder- man’ of the university in a statement to the student body said that State prohibition agents would be present, armed with authority to make arrests at the Virginia-V. M. I. foot ball game here today. President Alderman called upon members of the student body to see that the game was frce from drinking. This proclamation was issued follow- ing widespread reports of wholesale drinking at the Virginia-Carolina game last Thanksgiving. Joeland is to have a broadcasling sta- on. e SR ALEXANDRIA.
