Sale of Lots at Braddock Heights
A sudden squirt in building opera
tions can be expected at Braddock
most any time this fall or early next
spring Last Monday auction sale of
the Braddock Building and Develop
ment company, under the manage
ment of o. T. Wallace, Of the United
Realty company, when several Wash
ington and Baltimore residents pur-
dock has taken its place as a lead
ing inland summer resort.
Mrs. M. S. Choate, of Baltimore, who
has two winter homes in Florida, and
a home in Baltimore, motored to Fred
erick on Monday and to the Heights
where she purchased lot with
frontage of 80 feet, and the former
residence of B. Evard Kepner. The
bungalo of Mr.. Kepner was purchased
by Mrs. Choate through Grayson H.
Staley, real estate and insurance
agent, of Frederick
Mrs. Choate said yesterday that
she would build on the plot of ground
purchased and will come to Braddock
during the summer months for at
least part of the time. She was
very much impressed with the resort.
Forty of the Is lots were sold Mon
day. But for the illness of w. H.
Matthews, auctioneer for the COM
pany managing the sale of the lots, it
is more than likely that the entire
holdings of the Braddock Building and
Developing company would have been
disposed of. He was stricken with
sunstroke and was unable to resume
his work. The remainder of the lots
will be offered for sale later.
The lots demanded from $3.50 to
$3.50 each, considered to be good
prices.

injured whom scafold Broke.

One was injured and three had mar
row escapes from serious injury and
probably death when a twenty-five
foot scaffold in front of the building
of ]. F. Hargett, Germantown, gave
way Monday morning.
Paul Beard, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harlan J. Beard, of Feagaville, this
county, was the injured man. He fell
the entire % feet, landing on his head
and shoulders. He was badly cut and
bruised about the head.
Several years ago Beard figured in
similar accident during the con-
struction of the grandstand at the
Frederick Fair grounds. On that oc-
casion Beard was picked from the
ground with fracture of the skull.
Supervisor McHugh, of Baltimore,
Hammond Mock, of Middletown, and
Harry Crone, of Middletown, who
were working with Beard on the scat
fold saved themselves by clutching
at window hedges, and suspended
ropes. McHugh swung from window
ledge until workmen removed him.
Crone. and Mock climbed up ropes
which they had grasped when the
base of the scaffold collapsed.
DIR. l. M. Sifters, of Germantown,
was summoned and gave the neces-
sary medical attention to Beard
Boards injuries were confined entirely
to bruises and cuts about the head
and chest No bones were broken.
The men were placing asbestos on
the roof of the new home of Mr.. Har-
gett, which was virtually completed.
Lloyd c. Cutler, Frederick, is the con-
tractor for the building.
Word of the accident. was sent to
Mr. Cutler who rushed to the scene
in his automobile. Mr. Cutler on his
arrival in Germantown, telephoned to
DR.. s.. H. Hedges, asking that he
meet Beard on the trip from German
town to Frederick.
No reason is given for the collapse
of the scaffold 1t is stated that the
supports gave way although they had
been solidly erected.

DISCOVER BOMB SET
 IN MAyTORENA'S OFFICE
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

MORALES, Aug. 1.-The discovery of bomb attacher to a time fuse in "a room next to the headquarters of Gov. Maytorena resulted in the exc cution of Captain Rojas and two other officers of the Villa garrison.
 Seven other soldiers will be exc cuted at dawn, it was stated tonight. The bomb was timed to explode at eight o'clock tonight, when Maytorena was usually engaged in his office.
 The discovery of the bomb is be- lieVed by Villa adherents in the Mexi- can portion of the town to be the continuation of a plot to murder May torena whom many are said to hold responsible for the collapse of the Villa cause in Sonora. The CarranZa forces are few miles from Nogales and still advancing on the town. Only outpost slSirmishes occurred today.
 Many bullets fell on the American side in the fighting yesterday but none in the vicinity of this city. or the ranches on the American side of the border.

 The commissions investigation of the Rock Island began in April, 1914. on the commissions own motion, but followed a request from the house committee on interstate commerce. stirred by resolutions introduced in congress. After pointing to the fact that in 1902 the Rock Island was thriving, its prospects were promising and its stock selling in the world mar kets at more than two hundred dol lars a share, the report says that in 1914 shares had fallen to $20, and that the road is now in receivers hands, although the evidence shows the earnings of the company in 1914 were the largest in its history.
 In 1901, the report sets forth, Dan iel Reid, w H. Moore, J. II. Moore and w. B. Leeds, purchased 0,00O. GOO of the company's stock; Leeds became president, and Reid chairman of the executive committee. A syn dicate was formed which procured the election of F. l..

 An example of Henry's methods was quoted by Deputy Sheriff George Sears. Sears had loaned Henry s3,2OO on Henry's home property. believing he had first mortgage. But on investigation, it was found there was another mortgage for s2.500 on the same property, the value of which is said to be just about the asgre- gate of the two mortgages.
 A large number of visitors at the offices of the company yesterday showed the rapidity with which the news of the crash had spread. It is understood that efforts are being made to get the affairs of the organization strengthened out. so that the claims may be settled as equably as possible under the circumstances.

With one exception, Henry has built more houses here than any other firm engaged in that business. Most of the homes were sold on con tract. and the buyers have not yet acquired their deeds.

COST OF JOHN RARLEYcoRN.

The credit side of the account of a
city with John Balleycorn is very wide
ly advertised by the liquorites. They
endeavor to make the public believe
that there is no debit side and far too
few communities take the trouble to
investigate and discover what is paid
out of their treasures to Offset the Ii
cense money paid in by the saloons.
At the instigation Of Governor Brum-
baugh of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia's
account with the liquor traffic has been
carefully figured up and given to the
public. 1t shows that John Barleycorn
costs the city each year more than
$3,000,000; that more than one-half Of
the expense of the police department
of the great city is made necessary by
the liquor traffic; that the per cent Of
expense Of other departments of the
city government, due to alcohol is, sui
cides, 75 per cent; home for the in
digent, 60 per cent; general hospital,
35 per cent; county prison, 80 per
cent; district attorneys Office, so per
cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, 80
per cent; juvenile court, 80 per cent.
Such figures certainly reflect upon
the common business sense of the man
voters of Philadelphia, especially in
view of the statement in the report,
that "the sum of 100000 is far in
excess of the money paid into the
treasury for liquor licenses"
A similar problem in civic economy
should be presented to the voters of
every city which tolerates the liquor
traffic.

arrangement leaves the floor of the
house free for litter.
All of the house furniture is con-
structed for easy removal to be car
ried outdoors for cleaning very
necessary operation in connection
with poultry house.
The feeder hoppers for holding grit,
charcoal and ground oyster shell are
hung against the sides of the building.
These hoppers have hinged covers
that drop down at an angle Of about
As degrees to prevent chickens from
roosting on the tops of the hoppers.
Water fountains are hung from the
ceiling by means of wires. The foun-
tains have cone-shaped tops to ward
off roosting fowls, SO that the only
perches left in the front part of the
house are the edges of dust-bath
boxes, which are suspended like the
fountains to keep them off the floor
Dust boxes may be partially protected
by using great many hanging wires
hitched to center ring.
WAen Ieeder trough Is used to
feed mashes it may be constructed
to keep the fowls off the center par
tition by inserting round rods n inch
in diameter and 8 or 10 inches long, so
they stand upright. The top ends of
these rods should be made smooth so
as not to tear the skin of fowls when
they fly UP to find a foothold.
1t is natural for poultry to roost, so
they cannot be blamed for this pro-
pensity of theirs. Their feet are con-
structed by nature to grasp the limb
OF tree, and they feel more comfort
able when they have something In
their claws. Keeping straw a foot
deep on the floor of the poultry house
provides the best possible means to
crafty this natural desire.
