last night about 1880 o'clock. The cars
were owned by Miller Bros. the police
reported. and were in the garage to
form part Of the automobile show that
is to be held there.
Origin of the fire is a mystery that the
police are trying to solve. When it was
discovered an alarm was sent to the
fire department, and the bright blaze
and large quantity of smoke that
greeted the fremen suggested the pos
sibility of a serious fire. Firemen
quickly got the blaze under control,
however, and prevented damage to the
building.
Damage to the three cars amounted
, to $4,000. Detective Walsh of the sixth

PLAZA PROPERTY OWNERS.
Proposal to Pay Interest on De-
ferred Awards.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The interest and influence of your
powerful paper can be rightly used In
behalf of an act of justice by publish
ing the following facts about the ef-
forts that are being made for the re-
lief of the small property owners who,
through no fault of their own, suf-
fered serious losses in connection with
the requirement by the United States
of the land for the enlargement OF the
CAPITOL grounds. I believe, from your
: attitude with regard to the welfare OF
the people of the District of Columbia,
that you will approve the measure
which is now proposed, which Is oniy TO
pay interest on the amounts wlthheio
during a term of years from the small
nroperty owners in this section. while
at the same time they were compelled
to pay taxes. assessments ana o'her
expenses, including in many cases pay
ment of interest on borrowed money
Senator William f. Chiffon of west
Virginia, who has taken an active ana
kind d-hearted interest in these property
owners, has introduced in the senate
an amendment, intended to be oHered
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
"
interest to these small owners for the
time during which these payments
were deferred.
This amendment will be offered on
the floor of the Senate, and VIII, we
feel confident. be supported by sem
ators who have given the matter con
sideration Although this payment
will not meet the losses which these
property owners have sustained, they
are willing to accept this in full set
tlement of their claims. and they are
advised that the payment of interest
on deferred payments in condemnation
cases is a well established principle of
law and universally recognized as only
a matter of justice to those who are
injured by such delay. We believe that
the just and fair spirit shown by SEN
ator Chiffon will be appreciated by the
people of the District of Columbia,
and that a fair statement of the facts
in these cases will show that the prop
erty owners are at least entitled to the
payment of interest as partial relm-
bursement for the losses which they
have sustained for the benefit of the
government, the beautifying of the
Capitol and the convenience and COM
fort of the members of Congress.

AUTHORITY TO U. S. JUDGES.
New Law Confers Power to Place
Convicted Persons on Probation.

A bill giving federal judges power to
put convicted persons on probation, au-
thority somewhat analogous to that ex-
ercised by many judges for years, to
suspend sentence, was passed yesterday
by the Senate. Attorney General Greg
ory attacked the suspension of sentence
by federal judges shortly after he went
into Office and this eliminated in a recent
case in which the Supreme Court of the
United States held they had no such
power.
The judiciary committee. which ap-
proved the bill. was told there are about
1900 persons under suspended sentence
in the United States. who. under the
Supreme Court decree. might be COM
PEELED to go to prison IL probationary
powers were not granted. The bill has
passed the House. 1t applies not only to
past, but future, cases.

President Asks Authority to Appro'
pirate Vessels Being Built for
Foreign Owners.

Another emergency measure. giving
the government authority to take over
all ships now being built in American
shipyards for foreign owners, is asked
for by the President. A memorandum
prepared by Chairman Denman of the
shipping board has been in the hands
Of leaders of Congress for the past
twenty-four hours.
This document urges upon Congress
the imperative necessity Of increasing
the powers of the shipping board.
Even in the absence of actual war

before Congress are demanded by obvi-
Gus needs and attention is directed to
the military value IF adding to the

mated at between 10000 and 1,OoO,eOO

tiuues the rapid increase in tonnage
as these vessels and their successors
come off the stocks will be of material
assistance to us in the not very remote
future. Our hopes are that the whole
situation may be cleared up by the res

Birds Help Defeat Germany.

Food is needed for our armies.
Birds help the farmers produce that
food by destroying insect pests.
Therefore birds may be considered as
one of the allies. In the August
Farm and Fireside we read:
Birds are almost as busy as bees,
and their work in increasing crop
yields is highly important. One of
the cheapest and most effective ways
to fight insect pests that annually
take crop toll estimated at $500. 900, =
600 is to aid in the preservation of
bird life. Few people realize how
many insects are destroyed by birds.
A teaspoonful of chinch bugs has
been taken from the crop of one
quail. and an adult bird has been
known to eat 5000 plant lice in two
hours. Such worms and bugs as in
fest our gardens are favorite food for
bluebirds, robins, and many other
kinds of birds
''It is true that some insects pests
may be fought with chemicals. Ow-
ing to the great war, though, prices
for many materials commonly used in
sprays, washes, and poison mashes
are pretty near prohibitive. But the
birds work at before-the-war wages.
Birds also eat thousands of weed
seeds. A single oGIail, when killed.
was found to contain 1000 pigweed
seeds. With labor scarce and high,
whatever will aid the farmer In his
crop against weeds Is worth while.",

in a recent article by DR.. Edward +.
Bigelow. This writer describes a
model community observatory which
has been built under his direction at
Sound Beach, Conn.,, by means of
funds collected from many friends of
science, and points out how much
more valuable such an institution is
in an educational way than the ordi-
nary type of observatory. He sug-
gests that every community ought to
have a small observatory for the use
of the people, as distinguished from
institutions devoted to research. This
should take the form of a building
with a sliding roof instead of a dome.
so that when in use the whole sky
would be visible. Several small tele-
scopes would be preferable to one
large one. The observatory at Sound
Beach cost about s.. 800. DIR. Bigelow
records the discouraging fact that
astronomy has been banished from
nearly every high school in the land,
and that such outdoor organizations
as the Boy Scouts and the Campfire
Girls require of their members only
an utterly insignificant acquaintance

HOW TO HAVE GOOD PASTURE

IN the August arm ana tlreSlde,
We read:
While better results in pasturing
are obtained early in the season on
burned-over fields. the ultimate effect
upon the stand nf grass, and especial
ly Of the choice forage stand, is bound
to be bad. The burning cannot help
destroying the crowns of many OF
the plants and also much of the SEED
that might have been dropped the pre-
vious year, as well as any plantlets
Just starting.
The early growth Of grass left
without any protection from the pre-

weakening of many plants and the
total elimination of the choicest, ten

some work has been done in now
ling to control weed growth. Results

effectively controlled, especially on

OCEAN GROVE HEARS
TWOFAMOUS ARTISTS
Kreisler and Mccormack Perform
Before 10000 People.
'he NVaehinoto., HoroII

Special to The Washington Herald.
Ocean Grove, N. j., Aug. 1S.-The
peak of Ocean Groves concert sea-
son was reached tonight at the big
auditorium, where more than 10000
people heard John Mccormick, the
Irish tenor, and Fritz Kreisler, the
eminent violinist, in a recital the
like of which has seldom been equal
led anywhere in America.
The auditorium seats 10000 people.
Every seat was taken tonight, aisles
were filled and the wide entrance
avenues at the rear of the building
were thronged by other Mccormack
lovers" who were willing to stand
100 yards distant from the great
tenor during the concert. 1t was the
most popular concert of the sum-
mer here-indeed, the most popular,
in all likelihood, of any that ever
have been held in this musical CEN
ter before.
To add to the interest OF the even
ing Mr.. Kreisler. whose fame rests
upon his violin accomplishments, ap-
peared, not only in violin accom-
paniments, but at the piano as well,
disclosing to a public audience, for
the first time, that his musical YER
satility extended to the pianoforte.
He accompanied Mr.. Mccormack in
THE Old Refrain" one of Mr.. Kreas-
ler's own compositions and a ballad
of exquisite tenderness.
Bach-Gounod's Ave Maria" a re-
quest number chosen by hundreds
who attended the concert, was the
grand finale of the concert. Mr..
Mo Cormack was accompanied in the
finale by Mr.. I<reisler, violin; Edwin
Schneider. piano; and Clarence Rey-
nolds, organ. The audience stood en-
masse at the conclusion of the finale,
cheering for an encore.
The annual camp meeting will begin
in the Auditorium, Temple and Taber-
nacle next Friday. to continue for ten
days. Rev. Paul RAIDER and Rev. Mel
vim Trotter. both of Chicago, will be
