£.0.P.CANDIDATES OPEN GUNS ON LEE| Momecacy = Zihiman and Welsh Accept _Montgomery Democratic Léader’s Challenge. BY WILLIAM S. TARVER, Staft Correspondent of The Representative Prederick N. Zihlman' and P. Barnard Welsh, - Republicad candidate for State’s attorney of Mont~ gomery County, last night took up the gage of battle flung down three weeks ago by Maj. E. Brooke Lee when he warned against mud-slinging = and threatened reprieal. “If Preddie and Barney want dirt we'll give it to: them,” Maj. Lee, the chairman of the Democratic State campaign in Maryland, declared at the Manor Club September 25. “All they have to do is open up.” Candidates Open Up. “Last night at fwo meetings, one at Bethesda, Md., and the other in Tako- ma Park, staged for the State Repub- lican candidates, headed by Mayor Wil- liam P. Broening of Baltimore, Who is running for Governor, Zihiman, mem- ber of the House of Representatives from the sixth Maryland' district, and Welsh “opened up"” and there were g:nty of charges against the present mocratic county orgenization. Mos} of the el dressed the two rallies attdcked “one- man government” and. long eontinu- ance in office, which, they said, were the principal issues in the State’ and county campaigns. \ Zihiman and Welsh, however, made their attacks of a more personal nature, each resorting to personal assaults on Maj. Lee. “To my mind,” ‘du:lalnd Zihlman, “no more salutary blow for good gov- ernment and the future development of this county along right lines can be struck than by voting out of office the political ring which i riding rough- shod without regard to the rights or wishes of those who do not belong to the so-called inner circle. ‘seeks. ruthlessly to crush all who oppose or differ with him, Zihlman declared. “It s a significant thing when' 5,000 Demo- cratic voters rise up in protest against an existing Democratic county govern- ment. Opganization Declared Arrogant. “I have heard it said hundreds of times throughout this county that votes were bought openly and that the loss coun it in the mad attempt of the politi and hld?lul to stem the rising tide of wrath. one of the most ‘arrogant, selfish, ruth- litical organizations in the State. now engaged in-a frantic at- pt !;; stem the rhlnlx-hl:dzngf uppo'; umnt upon mocra the county”in the mame of y loyalty, & thing which he himself has uep hief- grievance “Lee’s chief. to be that I did not th e construction of a bridge similar to the Memorial Bridge across the Potomac in l I ninie speakers who ad- | (against me | road Bridge Replacing Fallen Span Over PREDERICK, Md, October 16— Closed since June 16, when a span of the old structure collapsed, killing three workmen and injuri seven, the new bridge over the Monocacy River in FPrederick Junetion was opened to traffic yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock without ceremony.

PLANS SAFEGUARD FOR “DEATH TRAP" Arlington Asks St.ate to Put Lights at Four-Mile Run “Bottfe Neek.” BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Staff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va, October 16.—Immediate steps toward the abolition of the “death trap” on the Washington-Alexandria pike at Four-Mile Run were asked of the Virginia State Highway Commission by the Board of Supervisors of Arlington County at the fortnightly meeting of the latter body yesterday. The next most important step of the board was the authcrization of the installation of a storm sewer system in Ballston. At the suggestion of Chairman Ed- ward Duncan, Commonwealth’s Attor- ney Willlam C. Gloth was instrutted to write to officials of the State Highway ‘Commission asking that representatives of that body meet within the very near future with members of the local gov- erning body to decide some means ‘of providing sufficient warning of the “bottle neck” at the peint where the State's part of the Wasl -Alex- andria pike connects with the portion that is now in the city of Alexandria. Hard to See Barricade. Declaring that it was most difficult for even local motorists to see the bar- ricade when approaching it .at night, Duncan said that those unfamiliar with the sitwation were at the mercy of chance. . He suggested that the guard rail might be lengthened and taken in ly and that it have a row of red hts to mark it. . ‘Thé eondi existing at this point was brought about by the wides the State of the northern portion of the 1030 feet, while the section in Alexandria remains at 18 feet.

Ds‘lhfll at Bethesda, Takoma Park and &t the Indian Spring Country Club, here he and his party were guests of county Republicans at luncheon, Broening charged Gov. Ritchie building up a political machine, and said the chief issue of the campaign ‘was the wisdom of electing an executive for a fourth term. Issues in the State and in Montgomery County are the same, he declared. Refers to Roads Scandal. Long continuance in office, he assert ed, begets indifference, carelessness and ce and provides an opportunity for wrongdoing. As an ‘example, he cited the State Roads Commission fraud scandal, ‘which he said almost $400,000 was stolen frém the people. Gov. Ritchie cannot claim credit for the administration of one department of government; he saidy and disclaim blame for misconduct in snother department. . ‘The mayor pointed out that $419,000,- 000 was spent in his two administrations as head of the ‘Baltimore city govern- ment and there has been no whisper of fraud. . ‘To prove that he was fitted for the position of Governor,.Mayor Broening reviewed his political record through the offices of Baltimore councilman, member of the Maryland House of Delegates, States attorney for Balti- more and finally mayor for two terms. The policy of not having minority representation on - appointive -boards and commissions came in for strong condemnation by the gubernatorial candidate. Urges Ousting of Regime. Galen L. Tait, State chairman of the wuun State Central Committee, c on the people of the county and State to oust the present regime from office. “Shall the people of Montgomery County submit,” he demanded, “to the control of their affairs .and , their finances by a petty feudal chieftan who has set up a political principality in our midst and compels aftornement to him as the lord of the manor?” Both Mayor Broening and Mr. Tait bid for the votes of disgruntled Demo- crats by emphasizing that a Republican victory would free both parties from domination by a clique. ‘Maryland Republicanism is barmo- nious and united, Mr. Tait declared, and has a forward-looking, liberal and structive platform: which is “tinged and shot through with the progressive spirit of Theodore Roosevelt.” Progressive Vote Cited. Thomas L. Dawson, Rockville Repub-~ lican leader, urged the people of the county to vote according to their con- the lssues and to attempts to sway them by Mary- | of these jects are in Arlington district, of 'hlcgml M.

In order that all extensions might be ptly made, Duncan lent the Water t an additional $25,000 from trict road fund, mak- ing fund that has been lent to relieve the water shortage.

If the State will take over the latter route, Jefferson District will build the road according to State spec- ifications and then turn it over to the State Highway Commission, Duncan said. inite proposals alomng this line will be adopted at the next meeting of the board. All three members of the board agreed that the Board of Supervisors should not pay for the compensation insurance for employes of the schools ‘when the matter of the renewal of the county policy came up. It was finally decided to renew the policy and then bill the Board of Education for its share of the expense. HEADS BIBLE SCHOOL Refy that will n| Hyattsville Baptist Pastor Named Acting Director.

UPPER MARLBORO, October 16.— Concluding from their investigations that gambling undoubtedly is carried on in a large scale in Prince Georges County the October grand jury today feported to Judge Joseph C. Mattingly that it had nevertheless been unable to obtain sufficient evidence on which to base an indictment. “We cannot but reach the conclusion that our will not be rid of these places until t} duly constituted au- thorities make & determined effort to stamp them out.” Says Hands Are Tied. ‘The jury’s report declared that it had examined the names of those supposed to have information concerning gam- bling houses, but “many, if not all, of the witnesses called said they knew of the existence of gambling places, but denifed having any definite infor. mation concerning their operations.” Under these cifcumstances, the jury tol@”the court, its hands were tied until the officers of the law or interested citizens produce evidence sufficiently definite to justify an indictment. The jury made a lengthy investiga- tion of the gambling situation in com- pliance with the charge from Chief Judge W. Mitchell Digges at the open- ing of the court. The star witness was Charles B, Calvert, Mount Rainier attorney, who had previously com- plained of a gambling establishment on Bladensburg road to yractically all the offictals in the county. Calvert also complained that there was collusion between oolice and bonds- men and this charge was also sustained. ‘However, in this case the jury ogain reported tnat it did not receive su cient evidence to justify indictment, although it reported “that in instapces there is well defined collusion hetween the officers of,the law and hondsmen, aided to a certain extent by certain magistrates in the county.” The jury recommended that the next Legislature investigate this situation and make some effort to remedy it by Reiterating the recommendations of the April grand jury, the October jury that the county commissioners take steps to erect a county building in or near Hyattsville which would house the Police Court, county offices and agents statipned in the vicinity, and in- clude a substation of the county jail to take the place of the Bladensburg and Hyattsville jails, which the jury said appeared to be entirely inadequate. «“Competent Investigator” Urged. Authorization of the appointment of ipetent investigator” to assist the Btate’s attorney and a stenographer to take testimony heard before the grand jury was also recommended the report. The jury was in session nine days and investigated 58 cases, returned 39 indictments, ignored 13 cases and dis- m'-sed six for lack of evidence. In excusing the jury, Judge Mat- tingly told the members that it would obably be recalled before finally be- dismissed at the end of six months. If the jury is recalled, it will be the first time & special grand jury on has been held in the county for over two years. OBJECTIONS FAIL TO CANCEL FILM Cuban Official Calls Photoplay Libelous in Protest to Government. The current motion - picture, “Her Man,” which the Cuban Embassy bas found e: . distasteful to Cuban sensibilities, continue to be shown in its regular run until the end of that run or until some word from the Alm industry orders its withdrawal, both the theater now showing the picture here and the Pathe change, dis- tributors for the film, am iced today. Dr. Jose T. Baroy, Cuban charge &’ affaites, yesterday asked officials of the United States Government to take the necessary steps to have all refer- ence to Cuba stricken from the film, charging that the picturs gives a dis- torted version of life as well as scenery in Havana. Says Picture Is Libelous. At the same time O. R. Strackbein, former assistani American trade com- missioner at Havana, told C. J. North, chief of the motion picture division of the Department of Commerce, that the picture constitutes a libel inst one of the cleanest and best police cities in the Western Hemisphere. In specifying his charges against the film which already has been running hers mearly a week, Dr. Baron said no such - underworld as that depicted in the film exists in Havana, He sald the squalid buildings shown for “atmos- nere” are fakes and destined to mis- ead the American public regarding Ha- vana. He added that the film ridicules Havana police in the presentation of various street scenes and brawls. U. 8. Lacks Jurisdiction. North today declared his division of the Department of Commeree, to which Dr. Baron’s complaint probably will be referred, has not mandatory power over the motion picture industry, but prob- ably would inform the distributors and producers that the picture had been found objectionable. At the Pathe Exchange, where the picture is being distributed, it was sta ed no complaint begn received against the picture so far, and no action is contemplated. Orders from the Will Hays organization, which holds regu- latory powers over fiilms produced and distributed _throughout the country, would be followed, it was stated.

BALTIMORE, Md., October 16— Patriotic organizations _today were planning a strong protest against the use of Fort McHenry a national shrine, as a jail for prohibition law violators. Only a part of the old fortress would be used,. but this would be “desecra- tion of a shrine,” in the opinion of Mrs. Matthew C.

HAVENNER STARTS THIRD-TERM FIGHT Citizens” Association Presi- dent to Conduct Campaign Single-Handed. Dr. George C. Havenner, president of the Federation of Citizens' Associations, today formally opened his campaign for a third term, apparently confident that he will defeat Charles I. Stengle, his only avowed opponent, in the Novem- ber_election. g Without the assistanice of a cimpaign committee, Dr. Havenner blans to con- duct his fight single-handed, appearing before various citizens’ associations and seeking support on his record of the last two years. To Manage Own Campaign. “I will be my own campaign man- ager,” said Dr. Havenner, “and 1 pro- pose to conduct a clean and unbiased fight, standing upon my record of the last two years.” “Friends of Dr. Havenner declare he already has mustered the support of. a number of the outsundlngfielegaceu to the federation. Among em are mentioned George Wales, civil service, _commissioner; B. A. Bowles, vice presi- dent of the federation; Edwin S. Hege, Thomas E. Lodge, M. M. McLean and Dr. J. A. Bonnette, . _ Stengle has a campaign committee headed by Henry I. Quinn, prominent ‘Washington lawyer, which is conducting his fight for the federation presidency. Delegates are being urged to support him as a reward for his service to or- ganized citizenship of the District. Stress also is put on the fact that Dr. Havenner already has served two years and that two terms should be sufficient for a federation president. Dr. Havenner, however, has pointed out that his election for a third term would not establish a precedent, as three of his predecessors, William McK. - ton, Charles A. Baker and William B. ‘Westlake, served three terms each. Suggest Dark Horse Candidate. Reports have reached Dr. Haven- ner'’s supporters, it was said, that the opposition will attempt to defeat him by nominating a dark horse in an fort to take some votes away from him and prevent his election on the initial ballot. The plan then, it was said, is to have the dark horse withdraw and throw his support to Stengle. Stengle’s Campaign Committee is re- ported to be working assiduously, but it has not yet made public how many of the delegates it has succeeded in pledging. D. A. R.
