to stop an automobile carrying men
who had just bombed two factories.
John Miller. driver of the death
car. made a full confession, but af-
terward repudiated it. After a bit
ter wrangle in court, his confession
was admitted. Hanson, however,
had been hidden away from the in
fiuence" of the terrorists. and his
story was told in a straightforward
manner. He has repeatedly refused
release on writs Of habeas corpus

BUILDING Line
RESTRICTION MADE
District Commissioners Ac.
cede to Requests of Four
teenth Street Residents.

A building restriction line along
the east side of Fourteenth street
northwest. between Florida avenue
and Park road. was decided upon at
yesterdays meeting of the Board of
District commissioners.
For several months there has been
an organized effort in the section to
obtain d restriction line to prevent
certain owners from converting
their properties into business prop
critics and building out to the line of
the sidewalks. In one case this
already has been done.
According to the covenant govern
ing the use of property in this sec
tion, a restriction requires all resi-
dences to be erected 80 feet back
from the street line. This, the Com
missioners have decided. is excessive
for business buildings In view of
the fact that the street is destined
to become a business street.
The order agreed upon yesterday
calls for a flve-foot building re-
striction line from Florida avenue
to Clifton street. a ten-foot restric-
tion from Clifton. street to Kenyon
street and a three-foot restriction
from Kenyon street to Park road.
The Commissioners have in
structed Francis II. stephens, cor
poration counsel, to start con-
proceedings to acquire
possession of the strip between the
street line and the building restric.,
tion line.

LIVE AT SEA SHORE TO AVOID
GOITER, ADVISES MCLENDON
Iodine Is Important Factor in Prevention, Says
Western Scientist.

Eating sea food on Friday and
spending holidays at the seashore
help to prevent goiter, DIR. J. F. Nc
Clendon. professor of physiological
chemistry in the University Of Min
nesota Medical School. told the
Western Society of Naturalists,
meeting recently:
THE amount of iodine in our
diet" he claims, ''is of considerable
Importance in preventing goiter,
and this has been proved by expert
ments on animals and children. We
know definitely that all marine ami
mails and plants contain this ele-
ment and that when these are taken
a supply of iodine is obtained.
Iodine has been found in the
igneous. sedimentary and metamor-
phic rocks and coal in traces, but
the odides being the most soluble
salts derived from the disintegra-
tion of rocks have quickly leached
out by rain and washed in the sea-"
Most of the land surfaces of the
earth have weathered a hundred
million years and disintegrated to
the depth of one and one-half miles.
The store of iodine which this layer
contained has been liberated and
carried into the sea, which. as a
result. contains $4,000, 100000 metric
tons. chiefly as iodate.
As the sea is thrown into spray in
storms. water is carried in the air
and dried and the salt is blown over
the land. This salt is then brought
down by rain and is the source of
iodine in drinking water and sup
plies the soil. The amount of salt
rapidly decreases as We go inland.

there is some correlation between

On Request to Fix
Rents.

Evidence that the fashioned
woman Is not extinct, even among
the rising generation, was intro
ouced into the hearings on the Ala
oama apartment house before the
rent Commission yesterday. Mrs.
mildred NJ Hazard. pretty Wash
lngton property holder and owner
OF the Alabama. was unable to tes-
ufy' although she had bought the
apartment house and signed a
check for s115.000 as payment on
the structure. Mrs. Hazard knew
practically nothing of the transac-
tion or any details of the business.
Consequently her husband. Carle-
ton " Hazard. who conducts her
affairs, was forced to testify for
her.
Three Cases Filed.
Because three cases were filed
against the Alabama when Mrs.
Hazard purchased the building
three months ago from the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany. which had bought it previ-
ously to house its men employees,
she had requested the Commission
to fix all rents in the apartment
house.
Although the Alabama was bought
for s26S.O0O. s65.O0O less than the
Telephone Company paid for it, it is
nortgaged for s25O.O0O more, Haz-
ards testimony indicated.
Frederick Henry Gore. builder.
valued the Alabama at $i00.0 900.
Rooms were valued at SIS to $50 per
room, accordingto location. Gore
announced that he new apartment
houses he is building at 1925 Six

s187 900 less than the purchase price,
il was said. The reason for this
was volunteered unofficially. 1t be-
ing stated that the Telephone Com
pany could save this sum in income
tax.
When the apartment houes was
purchased, Hazard told the Rent
Board, he was not told that the
cases were pending against 1t in the
