.165 ACRES BOUGHT
FOR DEVELOPMENT
Large Arlington County Site
Will Provide for About
600 Homes.

The land and building boom which
Arlington county has been enjoying
this spring was accentuated with the
announcement today by the Lyon
Fitch Company of the purchase
oy that company OF I65 acres OF
ground owned by the Cruitt heirs in
Clarendon. This tract is one of the
largest unimproved either in Airing
ton county or in the District Of Co
lumbia. Its sale probably is one Of
the largest financially that has taken
place In the county. The tract is
surrounded by Cherrydale. Clarendon.
Park Lane and the improvements
at the courthouse. The Lee highway
passes along its northern boundary.
with frontage of about one mile:
on the south is Wilson boulevard.

westward. II lies on plateau $50
feet above Washington, partly cleared
and partly wooded
Frank Lyon. who has resided in
Arlington county for thirty years
In talking over the matter today
said that besides having a financial
interest in the matter he is deeply
concerned in it's development for the
benefit OF the county. He conten-
pia ids ing on parks, Nluen1nR the
public roads bordering on the prop
erty and providing school building
IN addition to the usual improve
ments.
About 120 acres will remain after
the streets are taken out. This will
allow for about 500 houses, with one
fourth of an acre TO each. There are
several beautiful sites with large
natural growth of trees. and if the
development proceeds along the lines
contemplated the future will see
large family hotel erected. together
with three-story apartment houses
having large grounds.
This property will be handled by
Lyon e. Fitch. the firm that has built
up Lyon Park in the last three years

MASKED MEN SAY
 THEY SLEW NEGRO

| Texarkana, Feb. 21.-Judge P. A. Turner in a special charge to the Bowie Grand Jury, today directed that an investigation be made of the acti- vities of masked men in the county with especial attention to be given to the case of party which on the night of February II obtained F. Nor man, a negro, from the custody of Deputy Sheriff w. T. Jordan and lyn- ched him. Tonight four naked men heavily armed came into the news rooms of the Four States Press, a To- cal newspaper, and handed the fol- lowing note to the editor in charge:
 We are the four men who took the negro away from MT. Jordan. We are citizens of Texarkana. Ark, and in- tend to stay here. Find us. We are not K. K. K."
 Occupants of the office were under cover of guns while one of the men advanced and delivered the note.
 In his charge to the jury Judge Turner declared there is more law lessness and a worse kind of lawless- ness in Bowie county than ever be- fore during the 50 years he has prac- ticed law and sat on the bench in northeast Texas. He denounced the Ku Klux Klan as an enemy of con- stituted government.
 "It is the most dangerous organi- zation that has ever been formed in this country or that has been perpe- trated in this country; it is the most dangerous organization I have ever known in my life to destroy law and order and government" he said
 Judge Turner did not charge that the Ku Klux Klan had any connection with the activities of masked men and did not "comdemn the order so bitterly for it's purposes as for it's results" adding that "the very na- ture of the organization opens the way for any lawless element to oper- ate seemingly with very little molest- ation
 "Lawlessness and law and order cannot co-exist." Judge Turner as- serted You must choose between the two and you must choose now"
