FIVE STILLS TAKEN

U. S. Agents Capture 80
Gallons Whisky, 500
Gallons of Mash.

Local police, assisted by officers of
the internal revenue bureau, last
night captured five stills, thirty gal
Ions of corn wniskey and 500 gallons
of mash, just across the District line
in Montgomery county. The seizure is
believed to be the largest yet effected
by the local officers in single raid,
and, it is anticipated, will do a great
deal to stop the transportation of
bootleg whisky into Washington.
Much liquor sold here, it is stated,
will be traced to the stills destroyed
last night.

cation of the stills yesterday after
noon. when two colored men and a

BY n. o. MESSENGER.

NEW YORK. August 2S.-WeT, it
is becoming possible to sense the
drift of popular opinion on Gov. Cox's
expose of the republican plan for rails
ing campaign funds. Without essay
ing to lay down a general dictum, it
is still appropriate to describe condi-
tions of public sentiment as they
seem to show in the outcropping.
Naturally there is an element which
Jumps to the conclusion that Gov.
Cox made a killing in his exposition
of the plans which We're undertaken
by the republicans. They view the
showing as indicating clearly heinous
intentions by the republicans and all
that sort of thing, and conclude that
being caught in the act the repubh-
cans are destroyed.
One would be within the boundaries
of neutral and fair-minded statement
in saying that hereabouts the ma
jority opinion seems to be leaning
now to the view that Gov. Cox's ar
raisnment has failed to accomplish
what he sought. He has not de-
stroyed the enemy, from the view
point of this opinion, believed to be
the prevailing one here. As ex-
pressed in the talk of the rank and
file, he has put the republicans on
the defensive and in the position OF
being required to make explanations,
which is always an uncomfortable
attitude for them. but not necessarily
fatal, and that is about all he has
done.
Much Heard About Slur.
In the opinion referred to one
hears a great deal more about Gov.
Coxs slur upon the contributing pub
lie and his charge that they sub
scribed their money to put the
bayonet to the breast of labor and
buy the Federal Reserve Board than
about the size of the contributions.
Unquestionably that is ranking in
the public mind and the democrats are
likely to hear more of it in the future.
But beyond and outside of that the
majority sentiment one hears ex-
pressed in and around the town does

I am not arguing the case. but just
trying to reflect to you the atmos-
phere as it is found here. They don't
stop to argue it, but merely seem to
reach the conclusion instinctively.
The Indictment to them doesn't seem
to ring conclusiveiy.
In this connection The Stars corre-
spondent is told that Gov. Cox In
making his play at this time acted
against the earnest advice of some of
the older heads in the party and the
practical politicians. They urged him
to withhold the expose until the last
days of the campaign, when it might
fall with more crushing force by rea-
son of the republicans not having time
to explain it away.
They contended that if he sprung

today for new international peace

ANNOUNCE CAPITAL
ZONES TOMORROW
Law Goes Into Effect Wed
nesday-ResuIt Of Hear
inqs Not Known.

After six months of strenuous work
the commission created by Congress
is ready to announce tomorrow that
it has zoned the National Capital into
height, area and use districts for
building purposes.
On Wednesday the zoning law will
be in effect. Under it's terms the
height of each new building. the per-
centage of the lot which it may oc-
cupy and the use to which it is to
be put must conform to the regula-
tions applying to the street on which
it is to be located.
There will be four use districts.
residential, first commercial, second
commercial and industrial. The COM
mission has written into the law
list of business establishments which
will be permitted in each of these
four districts.
The commission tentatively decided
on four height districts and four area
districts, but whether they have been
changed since the public hearings
were held will not be known until
tomorrow.
Wait Report Eagerly.
The business men of the city are
waiting eagerly to learn the decision
of the commission on two requests
which they presented at the pubic
hearings: First, that more space pe
allowed along the various railroad
tracks, on the river front near Ana
costa and above Georgetown for in
dustrial development; second, that
the height limit in the downtown part
of the city be raised from 110 feet to
130 feet.
The present height limit downtown
is 100 feet, but the coming commits
sion tentatively fixed it at 11o feet.
There is also considerable interest
in the question of how much terri
tory the commission has set aside in
the suburbs for detached homes only.
Maps Not Yet Ready.
Under the heading of area regula-
tions, the commission will stipulate
upon what streets new homes can be
built detached, semi-detached and in
| rows.
Tho commission probably will not
be able to give out copies Of the final
maps for several days.
