FLORSHEIM SHOE Funeral Rites Held for Danville LEGISLATIVE PLAN Representative Will Push Im- portant Development Proj- ects for Arlington. BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Staft Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT- HOUSE, Va. November 19.—Arlington County 1s to receive a fair share of the efforts of Representative R. Walton Moore during the forthcoming session of Congress, it was learned today. Among the bills to be fostered by him are: ‘The Cramton Park bill, a measure for the construction of a new Chain Bridge, and the policing of the military roads running from the Highway and Key Bridges to Arlington National Cemetery and Fort Myer. It is also pointed out that under the provisions of the bill passed at the last session of Congress, authorizing the con- struction of a bridge across the river at Great Falls, the work must be started by April 21, 1930. With the’ Arlington Memoria. Bridge and the Mount Vernon Boulevard pro- Jects assured and the matter of a water supply taken care of, Representative Moore can expend a large amount of his efforts upon the success of the above mentioned measures, he believes. Park Bill Held Important. Representative Moore considers the Cramton Park bill the most important measure that is pending, in so far as Arlington County is concerned. Under the provisions of this bill the State or county affected, or both, would share half of the expense of the development of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, extending from Mount Vernon to Great Falls, the title to all of the hnuu acquired to be vested in the Fed- Government. xc is believed the chances for the pas- sage of this bill have been greatly en- hanced by the approval of it that was voiced by Gov. Harry F. Bryd when he was acquainted upon a recent visit here with its full text and purpose. Of a much less certain nature is the bill for the construction of a new Chain Bridge, although Representative Moore is to make a determined effort to bring about its passage. While the present bridge has been put in good condition, it is subject to a limitation of 6 tons, which means that considerable im- portant traffic across the river is forced to seek other routes. The approaches to the bridge are dangerous, he believes, the northern ap- proach involving a mm -angle zu n and the southern approah being arp turn on a n.ee‘p grade. At Lhe luc ses- sion of Cong: , Representative Moore I OmIcoR e ML 60 -upropmu the sum || of $10,000 to cover the cost of prelimi- nary designs and estimates. While this bill failed to pass at that time it is hoped that it will be given more favor- able consideration at the coming term. Policing Bill Also Lost. ‘Unsuccessful at the last term also was the proposed bill for the rolk:lng of the military roads. This passed the Senate and failed in the House because of two objectors. The bill provides that the laws and regulations governing the roads and streets of the District of Co- lumbia shall be -ygumu to the m- tary roads and at prosecutions m-de before a United States sioner for the Eastern district of Vir- ginia, the 'gomml;loner or c‘:;munon- ers needed to appoin United States District Court. for the murn district of Virginia. n failure to obtain passage of this b’ll the House, Representative Moore attem; to have it included in the ‘War Department aj riation bill. At- though this attempt also failed he has been advised that the matter is to be considered by the Bureau of the Bud- get within the next few days. TELEPHONE MEN SHATTER HOLD-UP STORY ON ROAD Testimony Disproves Tale of Rob- bery and Teller Is Arrested on Theft Charge. Special Dispatch to The Star. LEESBURG, Va., November 19.—Tes- timony of telephone company em- ployes, working on a lonely road that leads through Clark’s Gap Woods, three miles_from Leesburg, today shattered the alleged framed-u» story of M. B. Wenner, 20 years old, of Lovetsvill who reponed that he was held up la: Saturday afternoon and robbed of $250. ‘Wenner was arrested this morning by Deputy Shesiff L. T. McKenny and charged with embezzlement. In his story told to pollee Saturday the accused man said that he was driv- ing back from the Hamilton National Bank at Leesburg to the farm where he was employed when he was crowded off the road by another automobile in which there were three men, two white and one colored. His car crashed into a fence, he said, and one, of the men alighted from the othet automobile, holding a club in a threatening man- ner, and took the money from his pocket. The $250 belonged to other employes of the farm where Wenner worked, and it had been his custom to journey to the bank each Saturday to cash checks for them. Men working on the telephone lines, however, falled to corroborate the story of Wenner that such a car as he had described passed along that road Satur- day. Inasmuch as it was not & busy thoroughfare, even casual observers would have noticed what vehicles had passed along the road that afternoon. An_investigation resulted in the arrest of Wenner.
