Demand for Warehouse
Property Shows Growth
Of Industry.

Growth of Washington industries
is indicated by the demand felt in
real estate circles here for property
located near enough to the trunk
railroad lines to obtain spur tracks.
Those seeking such properties are
finding it more difficult every day to
secure land suitable for warehouse
purposes.
Restrictions of such property are
found in the law which limits to
certain areas near the railroad
tracks the privilege Of running spur
tracks. In this way the warehouse
territory is limited. There is very
little property now left along the
railroad tracks within the District
which can now obtain the spur track
feature.
With the continued business
growth of the Capital City. those
who come later seeking warehouse
facilities with trackage facilities
will have to go farther away from
the center of the city along the rail-
road lines. which will involve a
longer truck haul.

SET FOR JUNE 1
Probably Will Be Bound
Over for Trial in October
In Richmond.

United States Commissioner Fle-
genheimer. OF Richmond. announced
yesterday that Noon, June /. had
been set as the time for hearing
the case of William H. Turner. slay-
er of Thomas Morgan Moore, of
Alexandria. II is probable Turner
will be bound over for trial at the
October term OF the Federal Court
at Richmond. before Judge Edmund
Waddill.
Virginia police and court officials
were yesterday inclined TO resent
the action OF Federal authorities
in taking custody of Tuner at Win
chester, Va, en- Wednesday. While
admitting that the crime was COM
mitted on government owned prop
erty, they claim Federal courts are
more lenient on accused defendants
than State juries. Trial by a Fed
eral jury may not bring Turner
what the citizens of Alexandria and
Alexandria County regard as his
Just deserts, they say.

MEREDITH WARNS
AGAINST PINK WORM

Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
Yesterday made public a letter to
the Governor of Texas urging tnat
the plans agreed upon by the FeG-
eral Horticultural Board for ex-
termination of the pink bollworm
be carried out.
Meredith warned that the pink
bollworm constituted. a very real
menace to the cotton crop. He said
those who opposed the program of
quarantines decided on by the Hor-
ticultural Board underestimated
the menace. The bollworm reduced
the second picking of the Egyptian
crop 20 per cent, according to 1913
figures of the Egyptian Department
of Agriculture, he said.

ENTITLED TO PLACE
 IN THE HALL OF FAME

The Carnegie Hero Fund isn't working here, and it probably does not hiberneck in the roughneck places, anyway, but the recent flu epidemic in our district developed some handmade heroes and herofnes in their own modest way.
 Down at Cinema town they were suddenly faced with flu in the Indian village below town, with no medicines or doctors or nurses. There were only a few of them there and each had about all they could do to look after their own health and vel fare, but the necessity demanded a sacrifice somewhere, and found it. Mike Toratick, better known as Mike, the Fisherman was living there, and he had a modest stock of grub to take him through until the fish run again if the Carlisle cannery will allow the fish to run this year, so Mike found that It was up to him to go to the front" So he took all the grub he had and packed it to the Indian village and moved in and took charge.
 The suffering Indians were all sick and out of grub, and Mike fed them every crumb he owned and

POLES ON WAY
 TO AMERICA IN
 BIZ TRANSPORT

NEW YORK, June 10 (by Associ ated Press).-A transport bringing SOC wives and children of Polish immi grants in this country is on the way from Danzig to an American port, ac cording to information received here by the Hebrew Sheltering and Immi grant Society. This is the first group of a total of 50O00 families to be brought to America and reunited with husbands and fathers from whom they have been separated by war for more than six years.
 The Hebrew society has undertaken to find the wives and children of Polish immigrants who have been pre- vented by the war from sending any aid to their families, many of whom have been driven out of their homes in the war zone and have become lost to their kin in this country.
 "This is not project of new immi- grafton" said John l.. Bernstein, the societys president. Much harm has been done by the statement that we were inducing Jewish people of Poland to come here. This is not the fact We have absolutely no concern with any intended immigrants except the wives and children of men already in this country, more than 60 per cent of whom are now American citizens ;
 Mir Bernstein said that the work which the society was carrying on was done with the hearty consent and CO operation of the bureau of immigra- tion and the state department.
 "We began our work he said, "by advertising that we would attempt to locate these mems families and help them get to America. Our several agencies all over the country were immediately flooded with pleas from 50O00 men who, because of the war, had not been able to bring their fam flies over or even communicate with them Tn some cases the men had no idea where their loved ones were.
 "Our task has been to take what fr- formation we could get of the last known residences of these wives and children and put our commissioners in Poland on the trail to locate them. When this is done we advise the fam fly head in America how much money 1t will take to bring his people over and help him through the formalities of proving their right of admittance. When the families actually arrive we will care for them until then can be established in their new homes, which are scattered over the United States, but generally in cities and not in the farms"
