BAD MAN.

Herbert Bishop Is Wounded
by U. S. MarshaI-To
Face 80 Charges

HAGERSTOWN, Nd, July IA
Herbert Bishop, bad man of Wash
ington county. has been arrested
at last. He is in a Baltimore hos
pital today, where surgeons are
probing for the bullet fired at the
fugitive by a United States deputy
marshal.
Wanted on thirty para e
charges, the most recent being one
Of using the mails to defraud.
Bishop had successfully eluded cap
ture for many months.
Yesterday, the Federal authorities
heard he was to be found in the
vicinity of Hancock, his native
town. Led by Constable Charles
Barnhart as guide, party of Fed
eral officers secured the Hancock
vicinity. They saw a man hur.
riedly crossing a field, seeking cover
in growth Of underbrush.
There's Bishop cried Barnhart.
The man looked back and took
to his heels. The officers called
on him to stop. When he showed
no intention of doing so, revolvers
were fired at him and Bishop fell.
Herbert and Frank Bishop, broth
ers, according to the charges, are
the operators of a well-developed
swindling scheme, by which they
would purchase, by mail order,
large consignments of goods from
Acknowledgements mercantile houses,
and then fail to pay for them. dis
posing Of the shipments however
they saw fit.
Frank was captured in a raid
on the Bishop home some months
ago, but Herbert, lodging bullets,
got away into the hills. He dis
appeared for a long time.
Herbert Bishop was first wanted
as deserter from the army. Law
officers conducted several sorties
against him. but always returned
empty-handed. Bishop either out
witted them or out-d stanced them.
His exploits were so well known
that he was held up by parents as
a bugaboo to the children of Han
cock.

PARKWAY PLAN
IS FACING
CRISIS
Demand Made to Zone Prop
erty Between Union Sta
ton and Capitol

The fate of the proposed parkway
from Union Station to the Capitol
probably will be decided by the Dis
trict coming commission at a special
meeting Thursday morning in the
board room at the District building.
The commission at that time will
take under consideration an appeal
to zone the area fronting Union Sta
ton plaza so as to permit the cree
ton there of hotels. This, it is
held, would destroy the last oppor-
tunity for creating the park and
would destroy one of the most in
spring vistas in the city and one
which gives the visitor coming to
Washington by railroad his first
impression of the National CAPITAL
The area in question is unique
In that 1t is the only section in
downtown Washington which never
mas been zoned The commission
has several times decided against
coming the area in the belief that
Congress would awaken TO the i'm
portance of acquiring the land and
take some action.
The ground, a large portion of
which is now owned by the Balti.
more and Ohio Railroad Company.
is partially occupied by the Govern
ment hotels for women. The rail
road company recently has offered
portions of the land for sale and
real estate development concerns
have begun a campaign to secure
authorization for the erection of
hotel properties there.

BRITAIN MAY ELEVATE
HER CHINESE LEGATION

LONDON, July 14.-An exchange
of views between Washington and
London regarding the raising of the
British and American legations at
Picking to embassies as the result
of Soviet Russias decision to APP
point full-fledged ambassador to
China has not brought definite
understanding on the question. 1t
is stated the British are disinclined
to change the Picking legation to
an embassy despite the diplomatic
precedence the Soviet ambassador
would have over the British minis
ter.
If Japan decides to follow the lead
Of Russia and raise the japanese
legation at Picking to embassy
status, It is believed the British
authorities are likely to reconsider
the question.
