National Capital park and planning dis- triet exist. . 4 In the area outside this district there is scarcely half a mile along the principal highways that has not its quota of commercial signs to attract the In addition to e park and planning dis- trict posters are prohibited and bill- boards are fewer and, due to zoning regulations, constantly will decrease in number. Montgomery County, where this situ- ation exists, has running through it the main entrance to the National Cap- ital from the Northwest—the Prederick- Rockville-Washington road, over which thousands of automobiles travel daily. A large proportion of the motorists are from other States. Only half the distance between Wash- ington and Rockville is included within the park and planning district, the boundary of which leaves the road at| Halpine, about four miles north of Be- thesda, runs north to the Rockville- Norbeck pike and east to the Prince Georges County line. Menaces Landscape’s Beauty. Just across the boundary line on the Rockville pike billboards increase in number to such an extent that they be- come real menaces to the beauty of the landscape. ‘The legal prohibitions and regulations now affecting billboards in the planning district were enacted recently when the county commissioners approved a new zoning ordinance for that section. It forbi the erection of advertising structures, other than signs pertaining to the general business conducted on the premises, in residential and com- mercial zones, leaving only property zoned for industrial uses available for billboards. Even in industrial areas it is difficult to obtain permision to erect a billboard, since a special ordinance by tas Board of County Commissioners approving the project is required. The usual procedure of the commissioners before enacting such an ordinance is to hold a public hearing to determine public sentiment. An - exception to the general rule exists regarding real estate signs. The Commissioners, with the approval of the Planning Commission, may issue its for the erection of billboards or real estate sales , having & duration of six months. If the property has not been sold at the end of -the six-month period, the permit may- be extended. Can’t Extend Board's Life. In -addition, signs advertising the sale or lease of property upon which they stand of products produced there- on may be located anywhere without permission from any one provided they do not exceed six square feet in area. Planning Commiésion has found it legally impossible to.do away with billboards now in existence, but it pro- hibits the repairing of boards not in industrial zones. Although the signs on the boards may be retouched, the framework or uprights may not be painted or treated in any way so as to_extend the life of the board. By banning the repair of billboards, the Planning Commission hopes with- in a few years to effect the entire re- moval of the advertising structures from the metropolitan area of the county, with the exception of the in- dustrial zones. industrial property exists where the installation of billboards would be feasible. One of the first requisites of an effective billboard is that it be located on a heavily traveled hway.

He knocked the man's arm upward, he said, just as the gun went off. As the man with the flashlight ran through the gate, his com- panion, charging in his wake, aimed a blow at Lewis with the pick. Lewis said he ducked and opened fire, shoot- ing five times at the man with the pick, who dropped in the yard. Then Lewis swung and aimed at the fleeing man. A crowd, however, had been in the alley and Lewis was forced to withhold fire. Just as the fugitive ran out of the alley, Murphy and Malone drove up. They called to the man to halt and followed him in their automobile for half a block east on U street, when he disregarded them and kept running down the sidewalk. In front of 1324 U street Murphy leaped from the automobile and again commanded the man to halt. The lat- ter was only about 20 feet away. He swung, Murphy said, and leveled a revolver, shouting, “Like hell I will!” ‘Then Murphy fired. The bullet hit the man near the heart. He was taken to Freedmen’s' Hospital in the police car and pronounced dead on ar- rival there by Dr. W. N. Muldron. The other yeggman also was taken to the hospital. Inspector Willlam 8. Shelby, chief of detectives, ordered Lewis and Mur- phy held for a coroner's inquest Wed- nesday. Both, however, were com- mended by their superiors. ‘Guns were found on both men, police sald. A gun with two exploded shells in the cylinder lay on the sidewalk near the spot where Harris was killed. Police say they found a bottle of ntiroglycerin, a fuse and percussion caps in the dead man's pockets. A set of burglar’s tools was located near the door where the two men had been at_work. ‘The caps were similar to those used in the post office robbery at Annapolis several weeks ago and a safe crackin, at Alexandria, the police determine today. Moran is not expected to live. He said he met Powers at Eighth street and Pennsylvania avenue only an hour before they went to the store together. Fingerprints Are Unidentified. “We picked the store because it was dark and there was a safe which we believed had plenty of money in it,” Moran is quoted as having said. Moran denied any connection with previous robberies. McDonald said he was visiting in an apartment overlooking the alley when the two men entered. He telephoned the precinct when he saw them set to work with a pick. Lewis threw McDonald his key and told him to put in another call to the Ereclncl through the police box, while mcdwcnt into the alley. This McDonald Moran asked for a priest last night and last rites were administered by Rev. Francis J.

While police were clearing up the shooting case early today, they re- ceived a report from the John H. Wilkins Coffee Co., 525 Rhode Island avenue northeast, that yeggmen had cracked a small safe in the main office of their plant but had obtained nothing of value. The main vaults, where Sat- urday's receipts were stored, were not touched.

If you do not submit your barracks will be bombarded within the hour.” Many Under Death Sentences, A rigid censorship has failed to hide the drama of the proceedings of Fri- day and Saturday from the country and in" many localities there has been a sharp response in increased republican sympathy. Although only two have been executed, others, perhaps a score, are under death sentences, sentences which it is believed generally will never be carried out, the government fearing to add fuel to the flames of discontent. The two to die were Capts. Fermin Galan and Garcia Hernandez, reserve officers deprived of their regular army standings after the Ciudad real uprising and subsequent artillery corps disband- ment. A third principal, Pio Diaz, Jaca business man, died in an unexplained manner during recapture of the place by loyal troops as he unfurled a re- publican banner, containing a purple band in addition to the red and gold of the monarchy. It was the first time the banner had been flown publicly in Spain since the republic in 1874. Both Galan and Garcia died bravely. After court-martial they were taken from the court house where they stood trial to an army warehouse on the outskirts of the city. With their backs against a wall, both refused blinds for their eyes and looked unflinchingly into u::h les of the squads of nine men each. Purse Left for Poor. Capt. Galan smoked a cigarette and, waving a priest away, sald he had been responsible for the plot and that Gar- cia had played only a minor part. Just pefore he died he gave a purse con- taining 500 pesetas to the non-com- missioned officer in charge of the squad to be given to the poor. Capt. Garcla spoke with a priest before he fell. In both cases the non- loned - cers ‘'walked to them and delivered the coup de grace with their sidearms. A government statement set the rebel casualties in the battle Saturday at Ayerbe Pass at four dead and their own at five dead. It was said here that the loyal officers instructed their men to shoot low and avold killing if possible. Hopelessly outnumbered the Tebels retreated helter-skelter, many being captured. The federal forces shortly afterward took Jaca with little resistance. BARCELONA REPORTED NORMAL. Strike in Sympathy With Republican Revolt Fails to Materialize. BARCELONA, Spain, December 15 () —Expectations of a general strike in sympathy with a republican revolt falled to materialize here today and there was no walkout in nxy trade. Bu- siness and transportation facilities con- tinued normal, but the authorities took prfiuunomry measures to prevent dis- order. Only a few republicans, most of them comparatively unimportant, have been arrested, and the general impression was that the artillery revolt at Jaca Saturday would have no serious re- percussion here. RIOTS IN SAN SEBASTIAN. Dispatches Tell of Clashes With Police. Many Casualties.

Other rioters clashed with police and many were wounded in repeated street battles. There was no formal strike call, but the mobs prevented workmen from going to their places of employment. Stores were closed and the population was in terror. The border town of Irun was cut off when the insurgents wrecked the telephone offices at San Sebastian. Com- munication was made still more difficult by rigid censorship. REBEL GARRISON ROUTED. Jaca Declared Quiet With Government Troops in Control. PAU, France, December 18 (#).—The managing editor of the newspaper In- dependent returned from Jaca this afternoon. He reported that city t with 6,000 troops quartered in the fort- ress and holding all strategic points within a 20-mile radius. ‘The entire rebel garrison, he said, had either been taken or was in flight. LEADERS IN GIBRALTAR Several Sald to Have Arrived as Refugees From Spain. GIBRALTAR, December 15 (P).— Several leaders in the newest Spanish revolt, which the government asserted it had put down today, were said to have arrived here as refugees. The Spanish government is under- stood to have taken civil guards out of Morocco to reinforce the King's loyal troops, but it was reported to have canceled an order for return of the Spanish on from Morocco, because of threatening revolt in that colony. PLATT GETS NOMINATION AS CHIEF OF OPERATIONS Rank of Admiral Recommended. Other Promotions Listed in Hoover Senate Letter. President Hoover today sent to the Senate the nomination of Rear Admiral R. V. Platt to be chief of naval opera- tions with the rank of admiral. Other nominations for the Navy were the promotions of the following captains to be rear admirals: Clarence S. Kempff, Willlam T. Tar- rant, George T. Pettengill, John Halli- gan, jr, and Edward B. Fenner. Kenyon Spalding was nominated to be a temporary ensign in the Coast Guard.

The plane fell from a height of about 40 feet, a few seconds after its take-off. Mrs. Keith Miller was unhurt, but the undercarriage and wings of the plane were demolished. She was to confer today with her manager, Capt. W. N. Lancaster, and John Liggett, III, Pittsburgh, backer of her recent flight to Havana.
