HAS DAY IN
COURT
Charge Of Beating Board Bill
Continued While Record
Il Probed

Norman Alexander Russell Mac
Leod, self-styled Laird Of Skye,
Scotland" the second alien Of noble
birth to fall within the tolls Of
the law In the past three months,
was arraigned before Judge Nc.
Mahon, in Police Court yesterday
and pleaded not guilty to charges Of
absconding without paying d board
bill Of $3.50 due the Arlington hotel
and carrying d razor.
Perspiring profusely, the Laird
hesitated over each Of many Ques-
tions propounded by the court as
to who and what he was. With
embarrassing abruptness. the court
asked several questions pertaining
to the Laird'h recent whirIwind
courtship and subsequent actions
while here ana In Bar Harbor,
Maine.
Headquarters Detective Edward
Kelly. who made the arrest In the
offices Of Samuel J. Steinberger,
proprietor Of the Arlington, said
that things had come to such q
pass between Macleod and a Miss
Eudora Clover. daughter of q de-
ceased Rear Admiral in the Navy,
that the Intervention Of q Cabinet
officer was deemed necessary.
It was when the Cabinet officer
requested an interview with the
Laird, that the latter took a flying
trip to Alexandria, Va, Kelly said.
Macleod admitted this sojourn In
to Alexandra. but declared It was
Of business nature. While there,
Macleod said, Il was taken severe
" Ill at the Belvofr Hotel which
rendered 1t impossible for me TO
communicate with Mr.. Steinberger.
In the beginning, Macleod said,
he came to Washington with the
intention Of purchasing an $4,000
house from Miss Clover at New
Hampshire avenue and @ street
northwest. He told her he would
pay $4,000 down and the rest In
a few days. Miss Clover says that
with this understanding she lent
the Laird nearly a $1,000 In cash
and also gave him an heirloom.
a watch and chain, to wear.
Macleod testified that he then
went to Chicago to meet his people.
When he discovered that Miss
Clover had gone to Bar Harbor, he
followed her there and, she alleges.
further inflicted his unwelcome at.
tentions upon her.
Macleod told the Judge that there
was q lady In the courtroom who
would settle the board bill II he
would be released thereafter. The
woman In question said she was
Mrs. Roberts," and that she. did
not intend to have anything more to
do with the Laird, or his bills, now
that he was charged with carrying
a concealed weapon.
She intimated that the DEFENDANT
affairs with Miss Clover was un-
known to her.
Mrs. Roberts' declared that she
was going to have another talk
with Mr.. Ewing, former en-
p1oyer Of the laird's, and from
whom the defendant could get the
best of references, to see II any
steps VIII be taken to obtain sue.
cor for Macleod.
After the court had heard the
testimony Of the defendant and had
piled him with many questions, q
''star chamber" conference was held
with Detective Kelly. Further evi,

the concealed weapon which was
found at headquarters along with

CUT-OFF ROADS
AROUND LARGE CENTERS
MODERN PRACTICE
Routing Traffic Around Cities Pays
Dividends

Dividends
In the days of the horse, main ar
.teries of travel naturally entered
cities at the most convenient place.
and travel along the highway passed
down Main Street without slowing
up. The horse-drawn vehicle could
get through a city as fast as it could
travel the country road. With the
advent of the swife-moving car and
auto trucks. conditions changed.
Through traffic on roads is greatly
slowed up in the city, due to cross
lngs, congestion, narrow streets, one
way streets, stopping for pedestrians
and street cars, etc. In addition,
through traffic brought through
city adds largely to the city's traffic
problem.
The modern idea is to divert
through traffic around large centers
me few additional miles thus trav-
eled are more than made up for in
the decrease of time. Thus, a bypass
or cutoff which lengthens the
through route ten miles may add
thirty minutes to the running time;
put where is the large city through
which, from one side to another, a
car or truck can pass in half an
hour? Not in-frequently the cutoff
actually saves mileage instead of in
creasing it.
:, TO have all the through traffic go
through Main Street is all right as
long as Main Street is short and not
crowded To divert through traffic
from Main street to a boundary road
IS good economics, good engineering,
and good common sense when Main
street is long and congested Mu-
inequalities on through roads find it
pays dividends to build the cutoff
IND attracts more business to the
own than to force through traffic to |
mother route to avoid city conges-
ion.

Odd 'EPitaphs Seen
in Old Graueyards

In accordance with his wishes the
grave of Henry Long in Massachu-
setts is marked by stone on which is
inscribed, Henry Long. l still live"
A hard-headed, matter-Of-fac friend
who questioned this statement left di-
rections that his monument be in
scribed with this: James Mcguire,
dead, and l owns up to it,"
On the stone marking the spot
where reposes all that is mortal Of
Doctor Walker author of walkers
British Particles" is inscribed, Here
lies Walkers Particles" A similar
punning effect is exhibited by the
epitaph of one Doctor Fuller, "Fuller's
earth" Equally brief and withal
touched by a bit of grim humor is the
inscription over the grave of Thomas
Maginnis, "Finis. Maginnis"
Bill Nye, the humorist, once ran
across a monument on which this in
scription was neatly lettered: Here
we have a widow bereft; Richard on
the right and Tom on the left" He
suggested that the couplet might have
been improved by the addition of the
following: And if she had Outlived a
couple of more she could have had
one behind and another before"
One cannot be quite certain what
the bereaved husband had in mind
when he composed this epitaph for his
departed spouse: This dear little
spot is the joy Of my life-it raises my
flowers and covers my wife" Some
what more pointed is this posthumous
gibe: Here lies in silent clay Miss
Arabella Young, who on the 21st of
May began to hold her tongue"

than Oakes is this terse. matter-Of-
fact inscription: Here lies the body
