7N HEDRICK TRIA "Squabbles of Counsel Con- | sume Morning Session of Expected Last Day. ¥ [ BY LESTER N. INSKEEP, i Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT FHOUSE, September 6.—The morning gession of what is supposed to be the last day of the impeachment proceed- ings against Supervisor B. M. Hedrick | was taken up for the most part in clashes between opposing counsel. County Clerk William H. Duncan was still on the :tand under cross-examina- tion by Commonwealth Attorney Wil- Yiam C. Gloth, who made repeated efforts 1o bring forth testimony to refute the witness' statement on the stand yesterday that Hedrick was “a pains- taking and careful supervisor. After many objections on the part of the defense, this testimony was ruled in- admissible by the court on the ground that it was the expression of personal opinion. Hedrick was scheduled as the last defense witness, Character Witnesses. Defense attorneys yesterday questioned @haracter witnesses as to the amount of their holdings in Arlington County. ‘The most heated clash between attor- meys that has occurred since the begin- ning of the trial, took place on the eross examination of Louis A. Mac- | Mahon, president of the investment eorporation, when Burnett Miller, asso- elate plaintiff counsel, attempted to show through the questioning of the ‘witness that the company was heavily in debt at the time the note for the installations fell due. Commonwealth’s Attorney Wilson M. Farr of Fairfax County, chief aefensc eounsel, entered strenuous objection and @ heated argument arose. Judge Brown- ing sustained the objection. ~Farr showed the court that the note was docketed in the clerk's office in the usual manner and was, he claimed, a lien against ‘the property. Among several witnesses who were @alled to testify as to Hedrick's char- acter was Judge Walter T. McCarthy, who presides over the local circuit. Judge McCarthy said that the de- fendant’s reputation was of the best. Others who were called to give this elass of testimony were State Senator Frank L. Ball, Keith A. Brumback, Charles T. Jesse, Ashton C. Jones and | L. C. McPherson, ‘The character witnesses were, fol- Jowed on the stand by Edgar W. Pum- phrey, a director, member of the ex- ecutive commitiee and attorney of the m—m Investment Corporation, Pu y said that the question of ‘water and sewers had been discussed at length both by the board of direc- tors and executive committee of the corporation, that it was thoroughly un- derstood all improvements were to be made in the subdivision and that | Hedrick had beef authorized to pro- eeed with this work. | the present regime was given full credit HIRED MAN FOUND DEAD IN MARYLAND BARN Robert Drury, 54, of Trent Hall Ended Life With Pistol, Accord- ing to Coroner’s Verdict.

PARTY CAMPAIGN VIRTUALLY CLOSED Speeches Ended at Rockville for Administration, With Exception of Laytonsville. Special Dispatch to The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., September 6.— With the exception of a meeting to be held at Laytonsville tonight, Montgom- ery County organization Democrats wound up the speech-making part of their primary campaign last evening .with & large rally on the court house green here. The attendance was estimated at 800. Preston B. Ray, clerk of the Cir- cuit Court, who is a candidate for his party’s nomination to succeed himself, presided and spoke briefly. Maj. E. Brooke Lee, speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, and rec- ognized leader of the Democratic organ- ization forces in the county, was the principal speaker, and others who ad- dressed the gathering were Stedman Prescott, candidate for the nomination for State's attorney; Dr. George L. Ed- monds and Miss Lavinia Engle, candi- dates for nomination for the House of Delegates; Robert G. Hilton, candidate for the nomination for the State Sen- ate, and Capt. Joseph C. Cissel, counsel for the county commissioners. Charges Denied. In the course of the speeches, the charges of mismanagement, Waste, ex- travagance and unbusinessiike methods in the conduct of county affairs re- peatedly made by the Progressive, or anti-organization, orators during the campaign, were vigorously denied and for the progress of the county within the lJast 10 years and continuation of the constructive policies was promised. ‘The question of sewers had been Nrm;fit to the attention of the board | of nty supervisors, Pumphrey said, ' clainting that it had been discussed pro ' Just! and gl-l and that Gloth, attorncy for the rd, had sald he thought it ‘would be a good thing. _ Questioned as to Minutes. Pumphrey was questioned at length the minutes of the meet- ings of the board of county super- visors on December 14 and 18, at which time the question of a settle- ment for the installations was dis- cussed and the county engineer and rommonwealth’s attorney instructed to | take‘ action in collecting the amount | due. ' Pumphrey said that this resolu- ! tion was passed on December 18 and | that he, as attorney for the company, | objected, claiming that the $1.650 paid ! the contractor was a sufficient first payment on the work. Under cross-examination by Miller, Pumphrey said that the total improve- ments to the subdivision had cost $24.000, including the $9,170 for water and sewer construction, $16,000 of which ‘was borrowed and the rest paid by the eompany at the time, E. C. Turnburke, member of the Board of Supervisors from Washington district, testified that the board had given K. Messick permission to do the work in Waycroft because Messick had machinery that the county did not have and could do it cheaper. This Zermhshm ‘was given after a consulta- ion with County Directing Engineer C. L. Kinnier, he said. Willlam H. Duncan, county clerk and ex-officio clerk to the Board of Super- visors, was the last witness of the day and was still on the stand when court was adjourned. He testified as to the proper recording of the investment company’s note on the land books of his office. ‘When questioned as to his associa. tions with the Board of Supervisors, Duncan said that he had missed two meetings in the past 17 years. LAY PREACHER, SICK, FACES FIRE CHARGE | Dorsey Decker, in Hospital, Ac- cused of Setitng Blaze Near Martinsburg, Special Dispatci to The Sta MARTINSBURG, W. Va., September 6.—Dorsey Decker, a lay preacher here, was under technical arrest in a hospital | here today on a charge of violating the | State law regarding building fires in a wooded section. He was arrested yes- terday by deputy fire wardens, but was #tricken 111 just before arrest with siek- ness which his family said attacks him intermittently and was taken to a hospi- tal instead of jail. Trial of this case was postponed indefinitely. ‘Wardens said a fire was. found near where he was taken into custody. Fre- quent fires have been reporfed in the same section in past weeks. Friends said Decker told them he was on his ‘way to collect from a deputy fire warden pay for having helped fight forest flves | in this section this Summer, that he“ was taken ill and the next thing he knew he was under arrest at the fire.| ‘Wardens confirmed the story that he | had been assisting them in fighting off fires. The fire yesterday was controlled | without great damage. | His fami] id Decker was literal buried under a fall of bricks some years ago, following which he was a hospital patient for some time. Recent medical | examination said injury to the skull was | causing intermittent pressure on the brain. P Decker’s recent preaching, doe irreg- | ulasly in the area here where the fire | started, was said to have included prom- ises that he would not give up preaching until either all in that section were con- verted or the place burned over. EMBEZZLING CHARGED TO CITY TREASURER| By the Associated Press. , Ohlo, September 6— Henry M. Ryan, who, according to po- lice, admitted he took $20,000 in Lib- erty Bonds from the city while he was commissioner of the treasury, to obtain money with which to pay gambling debts, was formally charged with em- bezzlement late yesterday and placed in A large part of Maj. Lee’s remarks dealt with the new Rockville Court House and the county bond issues. In ification of the erection of a new and modern court house, Maj. Lee stated that all of the vital and valu: able land records, all of the wills and testamentary documents and all of the tax and assessment records of the coun- ty, including the special street and other assessment tax records of the suburban section of the county, are now housed in an inadequate building which is not fireproof in any way, and de- clared that the business of suburban Montgomery County would be paralyzed and the actual ownership of the homes thrown into the greatest confusion should the land records of the county “e destroyed. He cited as an_ additional need of a new court house that the working space in all the offices of the present structure is insufficient and the rooms not prop- erly arranged or lighted to provide effi- clent, modern working conditfons for the constantly increasing number of clerks that are required to transact the ever-growing public business of the county. “In every office in the present court house today,” declared Maj. Lee, “money is being lost to the taxpayers through inefficient arrangement or lack of office space. County officials believe that this loss represents a considerable portion of interest that will be required to carry the new court house bond issue, and it will be possible to entirely stop this Joss through the up-to-date and modern business arrangement of the important public offices to be housed in the new court house.” Maj. Lee charged the anti-organiza- construction of “this needed and help- declared that they opposed the widen- ing of the main business street of Rock- ville from the proceeds of a county-wide from Western Maryland, north ané west of Rockville and the other four coun- States and Washington City to get house and the Frederick road.” County Bond Issues. Relative to the county bond issues, Maj. Lee said: “The present county administration has bonded Montgomery County to build new roads and schools and the present court house and the county gov- ernment buildings at Bethesda and Sil- ver Spring to an amount cqual 10 6% per cent of the present assessable prop- erty valuation of the county in a total amount of $5,300,000. “Any other figure given as a direct bonded indebteaness of Montgomery County is untrue. The county admin- istration and the candidates supported by the county administration propose to continue to conservaiivcly bond the future of Montgomery County to im- prove the present and to aid the growth of the future. “The records of the county treas- Lurer's office and the ounty commission ers' office provs that Montgomery County paid off $99,100 worth of county bonds this year “The taxable basis of - Montgomerv County has increased in the Jast 20 years by 420 per cent. In 1910 the taxable basis was $15.790,000: in 1920 it was $33,650.000, and ‘in 193¢ 1t was 81,800,000, We have only issued bonds up to 6'2 per cent of the ass:ssable basis.” BILLION TO BE SPENT IN RAILROAD PROGRAM Vice President Lee of Pennsylvania System Says Return to Normal | Needs Is Prepared For. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, September 6.—In order to serve the needs of the country when normal business conditions are re- stored, the rallrcads are carrying out a $1.000,000,000 constructive program this vear, according to Elisha Lee, vice president of the Pennsylvania Rallroad, In a statement issued yesterday, Mr. Lee sald “the railroads are deter- mined to be in that position when the tide turns and business resumes its normal progress.

By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, Md., Sep- tember 6.—Re-elect Dr. Eugene Jones of Kensington to the Maryland State Sen- ate or do not vote for any person on the legislative ticket of the Montgomery County Progressive Democrats, was the plea made last night at a political rally ere by E. Barrett Prettyman, chief compaign speaker d cendidate for the House of Delegal “We have a lot of changes we want to make,” Mr. Prettyman declared, “but our hands are tied without Dr. Jones. There is no use sending some of us to the House of Delegates if you don't send Dr. Jones to the Senate. Unless he is in the Senate to help us we might as well be at home as at Annapolis.” Statement as to Taxes. Calling attention to a statement made at arecent rally of the Democratic organization ticket, Mr. Prettyman said Lee giving the amount of taxes paid by himself and by Robert G. Hilton, can- didate for the State Senate on the organization icket, Mr. Prettyman said the large sum of the Lee taxes and the small amount paid by Hilton was a di- rect intimation that Maj. Lee would be the real Senator if Mr. Hilton is elected The statement by Maj. Lee was in an- swer to the charge that Mr. Hilton paid little taxes and consequently would not :mecuu by any legislation he helped s, The ienor taken by all of the speak- ers reflected confidence in the outcome of the primary elections Monday. The first public prediction of the majority the Progressives expect to roll up was made by Raymond L. Schreiner of Ta- koma Park, who presided. Mr, Schreiner said the anti-organization forces would be victorious at the polls by approxi- mately 2,500 votes. Jones Speaks on Schools. After asking his audience of between 500 and 600 persons to put an end to “bossism,” Senator Jones, the first speaker, turned his attention to the public schools. He quoted Willlam McCeney of Burnt Mills, a member of the board of education, as saying that 60 cents of the 70 cents school tax levied against the county is the most the schools ever actually have received during the four years he has served on the board. “I can't find what happens to the other 10 cents,” Dr. Jones as- serted, “and I don't believe they know themse'ves.” He said $53,000 was appropriated in 1924 to build the Glenmont School. Of this amount, he declared, $4,000 was spent for the site, and “it is a farce to say that the three-room bungalow they have there cost the remaining $49,000." The Senator said the Glenmont School leaks, the Blair-Takoma High School is built in a “mudhole” and that the water at the Poolesville School was polluted until the third well near the school had been drilled. Albert M. Boulc, Rockville attorney, spoke at length on the bond policy of he administration, condemning it as placing a mortgage on the future of the next and even the second gener- ation to come. Attacks Regular Platform. Mr. Prettyman, to whom, throughout the campaign, has been delegated the {?‘D of explaining the issues as embodied the party platform, spent half his time pointing out faults in the platform of the orzanization and the other half in showing how the plans of the pre- gressives would remedy them. The principal objects of his attack were the alleged wasteful, extravagant and unbusinesslike policy of the organi- zation, bond issues, the Cramton act and the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission. Mrs. C.:Parker Weller of Beallsville was the last speaker. She confined her- self in the main to a discussion of the school system, covering praciically the same ground already gone over by Sen- ator Jones earlier in the evening. The audlence was an unusually en- thusiastic one and continually inter- rupted the speakers with cheers and ap. plause. Washington Grove Tabernacle. : el ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va.
