MUDD WINS LONG FIGHT
TO SAVE INDIAN HEAD
Representatives Appeal Helps De-
feat 81, 100000 Appropriation
for Dahlgren, Va.

The fight led by Representative
Sydney E. Mudd of Maryland for re-
kabiitation of the proving ground at
Indian Head, Nd, was won by vote
of LOG TO 81, in the House yesterday,
when an amendment to the naval ap-
preparation bill was accepted specifi-
cally prohibiting the use of any funds
for operation of the proving grounds
at Dahlgren. Va. Representative
Mudd is a member of the naval af-
fairs committee. and was supported
by Representative j. Charles Linthi-
cum of Maryland. The appropriation
of 81. .3OO.0 900 was opposed for the reason
that Indian Head and Aberdeen grounds
fulfill every requirement for testing ord
nance.
During the war the government
purchased the Dahlgren proving
grounds, consisting of 1000 acres on
the Virginia shore. forty miles from
the government moved all guns from
Indian Head. where they had been
tested successfully for twenty years,
to Dahlgren. because of it's eleva-
ton.
Mr. Mudd charged that it had been
represented to the naval committee
during the war that Dahlgren was
needed purely for the testing of big
guns and that it was never contem-
plated that Indian Head should be
dismantled.
He declared the Dahlgren proving
ground is "a fine resting place for Of
ficers. and a beautiful spot"
"Dahlgren not only interferes with
navigation, in the waters of southern
Maryland on the Potomac" he con-
tinued, but it interferes with the
fishing industry, depriving thrifty
oystermen from dredging in the oys-
ter beds during the dredging season.
TT is contended that big guns can
not be tested at a range more than
$4,000 yards at Indian Head. How
ever. I have been reliably informed
that they have practically made no
test over $4,000 yards at Dahlgren.
For high elevation testing, a big gun
can be tested at Aberdeen, Md. I am
asking you, however, to close down
this station entirely. because in the
ten-year holiday ahead of us for
peace-time efficiency Indian Head
serves all purposes"

pressed their intention of having

cieties among citizens of the various
states who now have no organization
here and to foster and perpetuate the

lures of the states of the Union

view to developing friendly inter
course through mutual cooperation
and coordination.

HOW CAPITAL GREW
FROM SPOTS TOC|TY
Page Mi|burn Tells Interest.
ing Facts Before His
toricaI Society.

How Washington grew into a great
city from the grouping together of
a number of separate communities
was described in a paper entitled
How Washington Grew in Spots
read by Page Milburn at meeting
of the Columbia Historical Society at
the Cosmos Club last night.
In his paper Mr.. Milburn explained
how a number of prominent people,
especially from Virginia, settled in
that part of the District that is now
the Navy yard and formed a commu-
churches, in the midst of country
lanes and woodlands. At the came
time, he said. in Georgetown there
had developed an exclusive social set,
who entertained and received many
of their guests from the vessels flying
tied the then busy port of George
Town. as it was spelled. With the
expectation that the city would grow
east, the Capitol was rebuilt, after
it's destruction by the British in 1914,
facing east and became the center
of the official set that lived on and
formed a settlement at Capitol Hill.
Another Group Formed.
The City Hall. in judiciary Square
which contained the offices of the
mayor. city council, the aldermen, the
law courts and the city Jail, became
people. namely, the lawyers and those
connected with the government of the
city, while the merchants collected
themselves together in the neighbor-
hood of Pennsylvania avenue and 7th
street. Until the coming of the street
car. Mr.. Milburn explained. these sep
arate communities were divided from
one another by many blocks of green
land and unoceupfed lots, which af-
forded the boys Of that day opportu-
mites for playground space that
would be envied by the children of to-
day.
Bound Together by Transportation.
Mr.. Milburn further explained how
the city. by means of the automobile
and rapid transportation system OF
the modern days. was made from sew
eral separate parts into whole. lr
conclusion Mr.. Milburn stated thai
he believed that the growth of Wash
ington would in future years bring
about the necessity of acquiring Vir-
ginia properly and Montgomery
county in Maryland, and that there
would be beautiful bridges spannine
the Potomac and residences stretching
Vernon.
The old Octagon House. at 1Sti
street and New York avenue. was de
scribed by Frank J. Metcalf. in hi!
paper which he read before the mem
bers. entitled "Octagon Houses O
Washington and Elsewhere" In read
ing his paper Mr.. Metcalf declared
that it was in this house that thu

where President Monroe made hi!
residence after the burning of thu

SHOOT AT LAUNCHES
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, June 3.-Federal pro-
hibition agents early today seized the
ocean going tug Ripple in the harbor
off Brooklyn. arrested u members of
her crew and fired 80 pistol shots at
nearly a score of launches which had
gathered to take off a cargo of liquor.
AS the agents had no craft the
launches escaped.
The tug. which was used as a mine
layer during the war, arrived off Am
brose light three days ago but waited
until last night before attempting to
slip into the harbOr
Under protection of fog, the Ripple
sneaked up through the narrows and
the launches soon appeared, acting as
a convoy.
There was a leak in the plans some
where, however. and seven agents, dis
guised as longshoremen, searched the
waterfront, finally locating the tug
near the Erie Basin. The agents said
they saw cases of liquor, wrapped in
burlap. transferred from the tug to
a lighter
At a signal. the agents. who mean
while had been reinforced by a detail
of police. rushed for the tug. The
lookout shouted a warning and the
fleet of motor boats scurried in all di-
reCtions while the agents emptied
their pistols at them.
When the agents climbed on board
the tug they said they saw the crew
throwing rifles into the water There
was a hand to hand struggle before

MEXICAN REVOLUTION
PLANS DISCREDITED
(RN Associated PresSl

MEXICO CITY, June 3.-Stories of
plans for a revolution in Mexico with
Gen. Felix Diaz as the leader are dis
credited in official circles and by the
newspapers. If Diaz is already in
Mexico as implied in dispatches from
New Orleans last night his presence
has not been reported to the war of
flee and it is thought that he is still
in the United States as advices from
New York are that he has been seen
there in the last two days.
The Obregon government has no ap-
parent fear of an insurrectiOn by Diaz
and treats his rumored activities as
mere propaganda started in the United
States by enemies of the administra-
tion.
There have been no reports here of
undue activity in the Laredo district
although dispatches in the last few
days have told of some disturbances
in various sections of Tamaulipas and
COahuila
