NEW LI DISEASE | SPREAD IS FEARED | Maryland Tree Owners Ad-; vised to Watch Closely for Infection Signs. Special Dispatch to The Star. 3 COLLEGE PARK, Md., June 30.—Any person having elm tre:s on his prop- erty is requested by Richard Kilbourne, specialist in forestry for the University of Maryland Extension Service, to watch carefully for any traces of & new discose which appeared in this country for the first time in 1930. The disease, which seriously threatens the future of one of the State's most valuable shade trees and has made considerable progress in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and in certain sections of the United States, doss not seem to be confined to either cold or warm climates. It is known as the Dutch elm disease and is prevalent on trees 15 to 40 years old, although nursery seedlings have| been found infected and all varicties of elms are attacked, according to Mr. Kilbourne. The American elm. which is of most interest in this country, has been found to be sever:ly attacked in' both England and Germany. The Eng- | lish elm, the Holland elm and the Scotch elm, which are also planted to| some extent as ornamentals in this country, nge likewise susceptible to the disease. The first symptom of the disease is & sudden wilting of the leaves of a part, of the crown of the side branches. Dry- tre:, or some of the side branches. Dry- ing of the leaves and defoliation of the affected parts may follow. The wilted leaves often turn vellow or brown before falling and the affect'd part stands out in color contrast with the rest of the tree. At other times the wilted leaves remain erisp and green and cling to the twigs. The wilting may appear any time between the latter part of May and August. The disease seems to be spread through a fungus growth. Just at the present time no means of control is known unless the disease is localized in one particular limb which can be taken off. However, it is very important that any one finding a pecul- jar condition in their elm trees send a specimen of the disensed portion to Mr. Kilbourne, at the University of Mary- land Extension Service, College Park, Md,, at once.

Dempsey and a com- panion offered to help start the car, and were charged by the women with mak- ing themselves objectionable. When pursued and arrested by Town Sergt.

Roy Alexander of Merrifield was fined | repr-senting every city and county in | $50 and costs last night in the Mayor's Court on charges of operating a car on dead tags and colliding and leaving the scene of the accident. Alexander re- |ported to Mayor L. . Danlel Sunday afternoon his car had been stolen and | wrecked on the Lee Highway. and that the car’s battery and radiator cap had been stolen. On investigation Mayor { Daniel found that the tags belonged to i Samuel Macy of Falls Church. Alexander then confessed that his first story had been purely imaginary and that he had been driving the car himself at the time of the accident. Macy denied Alexander's claim that the tags had been borrowed and charged him with larceny of the tags. ‘This charge was dismissed because of conflicting evidence. Dr. . M. Blackwell of Country Club Hills, in Arlington County, was fined $10 last night on a charge of reckless driving and passing another car on & white line on the Lee High- way just outside the town limits.

Willett of West Falls Church last night was summoned before Mayor L. P. Daniel to answer to a charge of violating the ordinance recently passed by the Falls Church Town Council requiring vendors of fireworks in the town or one mile outside the corpora- tion limits to secure a license. Willett's store is on the Leesburg Pike in Fair- fax County and he questioned the legality of the ordinance in so far as it effects the one-mile zone in Fairfax and Arlington Counties. As he did not wish to incur the expense of hiring a lawyer he expressed his willingness to abide by a decision of Mayor Daniel i{ the mayor would agree to make per- sonal investigation of the powers of the council over territory outside the corporation limits. Daniel postponed hearing on the case until next week. BALLSTON FIREMEN RE-ELECT MALLOC Other Officers Selected—Final Pay- ment on Debt Is Ordered Cleared. Special Dispatch to The Star.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 30.—Build- ing operations on a $750,000 bridge to span South River, near this city, will be started within a month or two by the State Roads Commission, it was learned today from J. A. Bromley, road engineer for Anne Arundel County. Erection of the bridge was author- ized by the Legislature in February, yet the work is being hastened more than anticipated since the existing antiquated wooden structure partially icollapsed several weeks ago under the #train of a large truck. Plans for the bridge are being rushed and tentative charts show the span to be pretty much a eister bridge to the $1,000.000 one over the Severn River on the Annapolis, Baltimore Boulevard. The South River Bridge will be, under existing specifications, practically as large as the Severn River Bridge, the cost being only about three-quarters, due to a reduction in contract prices and material. ‘The new bridge will be, it is esti- mated by Bromley, be between 50 and 70 feet higher “than the existing span. This will eliminate several bad curves in the apprcach to the present structure. In order to do this several pleces of valu- able property likely will be damaged. The plan is to condemn the property and pay the owners a reasonable price. ‘Th= bridge, which is on the road be- | tween Marlboro and Washington, will reappear in its old loeation. J. Clinton Uhl, chairman of the State Roads Commission, visited Mr. Bromley here recently and the county official has since reviewed the plans in the Balti- more office of the Roads Commission.

Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va, June 30.—Small loan companies operating in Virginia, of which Qlerl are 47, welcome a full investigation of the manner in which they conduct their business, and the profits therefro:, the State Corpora- tion Commission was told by W. H. Cardwell and Virgil R. Goode, counsel for the Virginia Industrial Lenders’ As- sociation, at the opening of the inquiry, which is to be made on behalf of the State, under a joint resolution of the General Assembly. Replies to the lengthy questipnnaire sent all the companies were flled with the commission, but many were unable to give the complete data asked cover- ing the four-year period which ended December 31, 1930, duz to lack of time. Hearing Is Delayed. For this reason the commission post- poned a further hearing until August 3, at which time all the information re- quired is expected to be plassd before the body. “The investigation will disclose the fact,” stated Mr. Cardwell in his open- ing statement, “that at every zession of the General Assembly since 1924 the Virginia Industrial Lenders’ Asso- ciation has advocated, urged and in- cisted upon an investigation of the facts pertaining to the small loan busi- ness, and that the Mvestigation will disclose that the efforts to secure an investigation were defeated until 1930 by the very individuals who have in- cessantly denounced the small loan law on the floor of the Houte of Dele- ; gates.” Interest Rate “Low.” It was stated that the small loan law was the result of research work conducted by the Russell Sage Founda- tion, and it had been found that the rate of interest was the lowest which would yield a_legitimate profit upon that class of loan service offered by these ccmpanies. A higher rate, it was declared, would force the legiti- mate comparies out of the fleld. and open the way for the return of the small loan shark. The findings of the commission will be reported to the General Assembly, which will enact additional legislation regulating the operation of thete com- panies, if found necessary. —_— Toronto Mayor Dies in Miami.
