among other things, Commissioner
Hunt states in his brief, a full sixty
foot roadway, a four-foot tree space
on the inside of each curb. and an
eight-foot sidewalk space. To con-
form to this, Commissioner Hunt sug-
xests that the board of county com
nissioners cause to be instituted the
necessary legal steps for the acquisi-
ton of a strip OF land twenty-four
feet In width on the east side OF the
Rockville pike. paralieling and
abutting the pike.
The land which II Is suggested the
county commissioners acquire Is, ac-
cording to Commissioner Hunt, prac-
tically all vacant and unused. ~,
Mr.. Hunt says in his brief that the
project would do the Bethesda neigh
borhood more good than anything
ever undertaken in its behalf.
Commissioner Hunt hopes to have
the citizens OF Bethesda district either
petition the county commissioners or
appear before them In body and
urge that the Improvement be made.
His plan is to endeavor to obtain
much of the material aid from sources
outside of the county.

REFORMERS after

Congress Has Bill to Be Pushed
When Campaign Reaches \
Its Height.

Reform forces IN Congress are
quietly organizing today for an Of
fensiys against horse-racinG and
gambling which 10 expected TO drive
those pastimes into tho limbo where
liquor now lies.
The fight will not be started In
the open until the reform forces are
certain that they have enough votes
pledged, to give them victory. The
work OF lining up these votes Is In
full swing today.
The senate judiciary Committee
has before Il a bnl introduced by
Senator Sterling of South Dakota. ac-
tive in prohibition legislation, to bar
sending OF all kinds of betting odds
through the mails or over telegraph
or telephone wires. This measure It's
sponsors believe, win strike q Grip
pling blow at horseracing In tho
United States.
"This bill is not aimed directly at
gambling" Sterling said today. ut
attempts to prevent nullincstion of
State anti-gambling laws by forbid
ding sending OF betting odds across
State lines. 1t does to gambling
Just what the bone-dry law did to the
liquor traffic."
Sterling Indicated he will permit
the measure. for the present, at
least, to take it's natural course. No
effort will be made to force quick ac-
ton, but II will be placed on the
Senate committees calendar. where II
can be taken up as soon as its back
ers believe the time. to strike has
arrived.
The Congressional machinery which
was so effective in the passing of
prohibition legislation, and which re-
peatedly crushed the opposition. even
overriding the Presidents veto OF
the wartime dry act. Is being made
ready for the anti-gambling drive.
The card-index system used In the
prohibition fight will be used and
pressure from home districts will be
brought to bear on doubtful members.
The foes OF race-track gambling be-
lieve they can count on most of the
votes which were cast for prohibition,
and add substantially to their num-

PROBE OF BARON'S DEATH
LEADS TOWARD AMERICA
Berlin Police Would Like To
Question Wife, Believed On
Way Hero.

BERLIN, Jan. zs.-Deep mystery
surrounds the death Of Baron Lothar
Won Koppen. and the trail OF the in
vestigation may lead to America
The baron expired very suddenly.
and the police are eager to question
Nine Koppen at length on incidents
leading up to his demise.
Nine. Koppen was an American ac-
tress before her marriage, and she
has practised at various times ex-
periments in faith cures.
For some weeks the baron was
confined to sanitarium through i'll
ness. He desired to be removed to
solicitation. he was taken there for
treatment. The night before his
death his sixteen-year-o daughter
Ida. on instructions or her mother. II
is said, gave the baron three strong
injections of a drug. The next morn
ing the nurse found the baron life
less.
The baroness, II is charged, tried
to persuade the physician who was
called in to make heart disease ap-
pear as the cause OF death in the
death certificate. When the doctor
refused the baroness ordered the
body to be cremated Immediately.
This was reported to the police, but
when the latter appeared at the Kop-
pens apartment the baroness had
disappeared. All thevaIuables. among
which was some costly jewelry, were
also gone. The daughter. who suf-
fered nervous collapse, was re-
moved to a hospital.

LAST LABOR MINISTER
QUITS BRITISH COALITION
Rumors Rife to Effect That Lloyd
George Will Reconstruct
Cabinet.

LONDON, Jan. 2S.-Labor has made
its final withdrawal from the British
coalition cabinet with the resignation
Of George Nico1l Barnes, minister
without portfolio.
When the labor party after tho
armistice, called upon the labor min
lister to quit the government, Mr..
Barnes elected to remain, on the
ground that IL was his duty to remain
until peace was ratified. The food
ministry will come to An end within
a few months, and II is expected that
George II. Roberts, the only import
ant laborite now in the government,
will follow Mr.. Barnes. There are
rumors tonight that there will be a
reconstruction Of the cabinet. But
this Is unlikely, at least, until after
the Paisley election, in which former
Premier Asquith is a candidate, the
result Of which will be unknown until
toward the end of February.
In connection with the reports that
Premier Lloyd George is preparing a
new constructive program for the
coming parliamentary session calcu-
lated to attract voters who are drift
ing from the coalition to labor, II is
interesting to note that in the election
address issued last night by Mr. Nc
Kcad, Unionist candidate for Paisley,
he declared against naturalization
of industries and against interyen-
ton in Russia, but is in favor OF equal
pay for men and women for equal
work.

CONGRESS TO TAKE
Up RECLAMATION
THREE IRRIGATION DEVELOP.
MENT MEASURES TO BE
BROUGHT BEFORE SESSION.
There 10 No Certainty That Any Of the
Plans viii Receive Approval,
There Being Objections to Meas
ures In Some Quarters.

Washington.-At last three concrete
plans for irrigation development in
the west, two Of them soldier settle
ment plans, will be brought before
congress at the approaching session,
all Of them plans which have been
studied by committees and which have
reached stages where they may be
taken up for consideration If there Is
sufficient sentiment and support be-
hind them.
The first is the soldier bonus bill
which passed the house last session.
and Is now In the finance committee
Of the senate. One section Of this bill
provides for the reclamation of arid
lands, the draining Of swamp lands
and the recovery Of cutover lands to
provide homes for soldiers.
The second IS the Borah bill, which
Is virtually the soldier land settlement
feature Of the bonus bill, with On i'm
portant addition to the effect that the
government shall not buy private lands
for reclamation.
Inc tilIu Is tne SIn0Ot Dill, OSIenS-
IDLY to aid and encourage irrigation
development with private capital, but
putting the federal government back Of
such development in a way to insure
It's success. The Smoot bill, In It's pres
ent form, is not soldier land bill
To each Of the three plans there Is
substantial objection in some quarters,
and advocates OF soldier relief and Of
reclamation extension are not agreed
among themselves as to which Of the
plans, If any of them, shall be pushed
to ultimate passage. Indeed. there Is
no certainty that any Of the plans will
be passed during the short session.
But the agitation will be renewed and
| each Of the three bills will be brought
to the front for discussion, II not for
action.
Both the bonus bill and the Borah
bill contemplate the appropriation by
congress of S30O,OO0,0OO over a period
of ten years, and on this ground, be-
| cause Of the financial status Of the
government, the secretary of the treas
ury recommended against both bills.
| He pointed out that such drain upon
the treasury would mean either addi-
tional taxes or the flotation Of new
bonds or notes, and to this he was Op-
posed.
