Favored by Majority.

Leaders in the movement to secure the
Incorporation declared yesterday that
a large majority of the citizens were in
favor of the project, and that this fact
alone was sufficient to secure its con-
summation. One Of the final efforts Of
those who have stood out in opposition
to the securing of a charter was the
publication of q statement that an agree
ment had been reached whereby Chevy
Chase would not be Incorporated during
this session of the legislature. but that
1t would be made special taxing dis
trict in Montgomery county. BY the
terms Of this plan it was intended that
all the proceeds of special tax levied
within the section would be returned
TO the citizens association of Chevy
Chase to be devoted to improvements of
q municipal nature-thus obviating the
necessity of continuous pleas to the
county authorities for special appropri-
atoms from the general funds of the
county.
1t is understood that this plan was de-
feated finally because it's advocates
could not agree among themselves as to
the rate to be fixed for the special Chevy
Chase tax.

CHEVY CHASE TOWN
Citizens Reasonably Certain
of Getting Charter.
NOW BEFORE LEGISLATURE
Pending Bill Provides for an Elec-
ton of Officers First Mon
day in June.

Unless an unexpected obstacle should
be encountered in the Maryland legis-
lature, Chevy Chase. it is stated, may be
an incorporated town the first Monday
I'm June next. A bill has been drafted
with this end in view, and it is now at
Annapolis, in the hands of the Mont
gomery county delegation. headed by
Senator Blair Lee and some of the citi-
Gems of Chevy Chase understand that the
members of the delegation have expressed
the intention to require only few minor
changes in the bill before recommending
it for enactment If this be SO, and if
there is no interruption to the estab-
lished custom at the state, capitol of
facilitating the passage of legislation
which has the approval of the members
of the delegation from the county to
be affected, il is declared. then Chevy
Chase is assured of its charter
Acc 1rding to tie provisions of the
pending bill. Chevy Chase will have it's
first election on the first Monday in
June, and the officers chosen at that
time will take Office Immediately, and thus
effect the organization of the town.
Severance of County Ties.
simultaneously the municipality will
sever most of the links which now make
1t an integral part of Montgomery coun-
ty. The most important point of all, and
the real issue for which the citizens
OF the townlet have been contending, lies
in ths right which will be afforded them
of fixing and collecting their own taxes,
and of applying the proceeds to the
maintenance and extension of civic i'm
provements.
The contest for and against a town
charter was waged quite warmly at
Chevy Chase for several weeks, and
variety Of projects have been put for
ward in lieu of the proposed incorpo-
ration. Always the question OF the
boundaries of the municipality has been
debated and practically general oppo-
sition was expressed to admitting into
the town one or two of the newer SUBJ
divisions in the neighborhood which did
not have written into their property
deeds the same building restrictions
which have operated to give a uniform
and symmetrical development to the prop
erty of the original Chevy Chase Land
Company.
Finally a majority Of the citizens agreed
that the town limits should be khe
same as those laid down by the Chevy
Chase Land Company. and the bill which
is now in the hands of the Montgomery
county delegation at Annapolis is SO
drawn.

FOR A COURT PLAN
President Insists on Com
merce Bill Feature.
DISCUSSED IN Committee
Attorney General Wickersham Is
Closely Questioned on the Town
send Administrator Measure.

President Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham insist that the Townsend ad-
ministration interstate commerce OIL
shall be enacted into law substantially
as framed and introduced, including the
provision creating an interstate commerce
court.
Mr. wickersham for nearly three hours
yesterday was piled with questions py
the House committee on interstate COM
merce. and will appear again before that
body tomorrow to continue throwing light
on the administrations precise position.
The indications are that the bill Will
he reported the latter part of this week
in virtually the same form as introduced.
After the adjournment of the commit
tee a report was circulated that Chair
man Mann and Attorney General Wick
ersham had had serious disagreement
and warm exchange of words, but
several members OF the committee
promptly denied the story, and Chair
man Mann declared it was wholly false.
The discussion was of most placid and
good-natured character, said all mem
bers of the committee
Points of Difference.
Mr. Wickersham discussed many OF
the provisions of the bill, and indicated
the administration attitude as to the
essentially of the commerce court fea-
ture. AS to this, Chairman Mann and
others of the committee take ISSUE.
1t is said that only four members of the
committee now favor establishing the
court, but may yield to the administra-
ton view. Chairman Manns opposition
is based on the contention that such
a tribunal was absolutely unnecessary,
that the duties purposed to be assigned
to 1t could just as effectively and speed
lily be attended to by the interstate COM
merce commission and the circuit courts
Disposition to Yield.
There is conciliatory attitude in the
committee. however, and there is dis
position to yield to the Presidents views
il he insists that the commerce court
provision is vital to the measure.
The President regards the railroad bill,
1t is said. the most important feature
of the entire so-called administration
program. He feels that 1t should be
enacted into law, and as speedily as
possible. There has been some oispo-
sition in administration quarters to crit
icise Congress for not taking earlier ac-
tfOn on the measure. but House leaders
point to the fact that the hearings on
the bill were ordered by the House COM
mittee before the PRESIDENT had it ready
for presentation to Congress, and say
there has been no delay whatever in
consistent with careful legislative eau
ton.

FRIENDS AVERTED DUEL
COL. JACK, CHM IN ROW AT
KENTUCKY CAPITAL.
At Point of Conflict With Prison
Commissioner Brown-Op-
posed to Guns.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FRANKFORT, KY, February 26.-Only
the interference of friends here today
averted what would probably have been
a bloody duel between Col. Jack Chinn,
member of the legislature, and Prison
Commissioner Eli Brown. For many
years there has been strong feeling be-
tween these two state officials, and it has
been aggravated by the recent protests OF
Commissioner Brown against the action OF
Chinn in trying to squelch certain legis-
lative bills which have the backing OF
Brown.
Early this morning Commissioner Brown
was walking down the corridor of the
state house. when he spied Col. Chinr
coming from the other direction. In.
stantly his hand went to his hip, and re-
manned there as the two advanced toward
each other.
Friends Prevented Conflict.
Friends of both men saw them and
rushed between them. Chinn tried to &c,
past his friends, and cried out:
''Have you got your hand on a gun
you coward?"
Brown answered that unfortunately he
did not have.
We'll. don't you try that on me, for il
you do. you know what'll happen to you. .
Brown replied that he guessed he could
take care of himself in any emergency
This brought another fusillade of words
from the other man, but their friends leo
them both away.
Col. Chinn. who is a representative OF
the legislatu from Lexington, is said tc
have led the fight against Brown and tc
have not allowed that quarrel to rest will
the legislative meeting, but to have con
tinued to abuse Brown in public and pri
yate

NEW ORLEANS, La, February 90
Detective O'Brien Of Washington left
for home tonight after winning a fight
before United States Judge Rufus l..
Foster for the custody of John Ward
Sturgis. confessed bank embezzler and
forger. Sturgis will not be returned to
Washington until early next week or until
1t is convenient for one of the deputy
United States marshals here to accom-
pany the prisoner.
Detective William Reid OF Chicago
made a determined effort to secure Stur-
gis. who is wanted in Chicago on a
charge of securing 5000 from the Peo-
pies Trust and Savings Bank on a forged
cashiers check. Sturgis was employed
in the Chicago bank under the name OF
f. M. Stevens.
When Judge Foster asked Sturgis II he
was willing to return to Washington
without requisition, the prisoner merely
bent his head in acknowledgment Stur-
gis believes he will stand d better chance
in his home city.
Detective O'Brien said that Sturgis was
d witness at Washington in case of a
defendant who was tried for getting
away with funds from the National Saw
ings and Trust Company, the bank where
Sturgis was employed Detective OBrien
believes that the evidence brought out
in that case opened the eyes of Sturgis
to the possibilities of Juggling with dead
accounts in a bank through forged
cashiers checks.
O'Brien spent fifteen days around Mon
treal. Canada, trailing Sturgis. who had
gone to the Canadian wids on a camp
ing expedition. All the Washington au-
thorities will secure from Sturgis loot
is the camping outfit. This he bought
with money obtained from the Washing
ton bank. A motor cycle is held. but the
machine was bought with money stolen
from the Chicago bank.
