Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis

that the committee had been "appall-

that it had been the Judgment of

The committee was so willing to

The police were soon on the trail of
Shepherd, and they found him dying
in his brothers home here. He had
shot himself through the head and

The girl told also in her dyin 6

took place shortly afterward.
Later police expressed the belief
that poison and not bullet wounds
caused Shepherds death. Poison tab

the room where he shot himself they
found a partly filled glass of water
which. presumably, he had taken with
the poison. The bullet wounds alone,

OIL PROBERS DEFER
D0HENY'S HEARING
Senator Spencer Grants 0p-
orator Delay Because of
Pressing Business.

Edward L Doheny, for whom 4
subpoena was issued by the oil com
mittee more than a week ago, has
been granted an indefinite delay by
Senator Spencer, republican, Missouri,
at whose request the summons was
sent out.
Senator Spencer said today that
Doheny had advised him that because
of pressing business matters it was
not convenient for him to leave Los
Angeles, Calf, at this time. The
Missouri senator desires to question
the lessee of California naval reserve
No. concerning his contributions
to the democratic campaign fund of
1920.
Upon his last appearance before
the committee, last February, Doheny
promised to make further effort to
find the missing part of the note
which he claims Albert B. Fall gave
to his son, Z. L. Doheny, jr., when he
delivered 100000 in cash 20 the
former Interior Secretary in Wash
ineton on November 80, 1891. How
ever, the committee has heard moth
ing further from him regarding that
matter SO far as has been made
known.

sire to question Doheny further re-
garding this note and also regarding G
several other matters.

BILL TO GET LAND

Ground on Waterside Drive.

The House District committee today
received from Secretary Mellon the
draft Of a bill proposing to authorize
the parkway commission to acquire
land along Waterside drive Adams
Mill road, south of the Geological
Park. Secretary Mellon says he rec
ommends this as a proper matter for
Legislation.
The mmendation is accompanied
by a letter from Lieut.. Col. c. O.
Sheriff.. engineer officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, which
says that it is manifestly to the ad-
vantage of the United States to pro-
tect the Geological Park from the un-
slightly rears of the building that
will be developed in this area. 1t is
also important, he said, as providing
means for connecting a roadway be-
tween Adams Mill road and the low
level drive in the Rock Creek park
way.
Must Act Promptly.
This measure has the approval of
the Geological Park officials. The til
tie has been cleared after long litiga-

Protest by Citizens.
The imposition of the personal
property tax on automobiles after the
adoption of the gasoline tax was the
subject of vigorous protest by the
residents of Wa2shin gton, who pointed

signed to bring about reciprocity with
Maryland in the matter of automobile
licenses and not to increase the taxes
on automobile owners in the District
The effect of the bill as now agreed
to will be to increase those taxes
The House provided in the bill az
it passed that body that a tax Of II

J. B. LORD IS DEAD;
MASON SINCE 1853
Washington Patriarch Sue
CumbS to Pneumonia.
Founded BrookIand Church.

John B. Lord, one OF the oldest resi-
dents of Washington, a pioneer mem
Der of the Masonic fraternity and a
leader in the Baptist Church in this
city, died early today in his ninety
eighth year at his home, 1912 Monroe
street northeast.
Until a few weeks ago this patri-
arch of Washington was active and
alert despite his age. He succumbed
to an attack of pneumonia.
The outstanding achievement of his
long life was the part he played in
founding the Brookland Baptist
Church at 18th and Newton streets
northeast. He was the donor of Lord
Memorial Hall, adjoining the edifice,
and also gave to the Baptists of the
District the land and original build
ing of the Baptist Home for Children
at 9th and Newton streets northeast.
Born Near 9Th and f Streets.
Born near the corner of 9Th and
F streets northwest on November 10,
1926, Mr.. Lord lived to. see the Dis
trict of Columbia grow from farm
land to one of the beauty spots of
the world. He saw the cowpaths
and muddy lanes of pre-civil war
days develop into the paved avenues
of a modern capital city. He lived
to witness and enjoy the discoveries
and inventions of today that were
unthought of in his boyhood.
Mr.. Lord was educated at the NC
Cloud School and in his early man
hood he engaged in the sand and
gravel business at the old 18th street
wharf, now a part of the Speedway.
He furnished materials for the erec-
tion of the State, War and Navy
building.
Served As Guard.
During the civil war Mr.. Lord, who
was then past thirty-fve, served as a
guard around government buildings
in Washington. He moved to what is
now Brookland in 1870, when the
present suburb was a farm section.
He was one of the eight constituent
members of the old Queenstown Rap-
tist Church, later named the Brook
land Baptist Church. His old home
on Bunker Hill road, now Michigan
avenue, was used for church services
until the first church building was
competed dL QuCehSIo"H, Hiic
northeast of the present church. He
was one Of the little group of men
who worked with their own hands to
lay the bricks and drive the nails of
the first church.
Mr.. Lord at various times held prac-
tically every position in the church
and was for years a teacher in the
Sunday school. At. the time of his
death he was honorary deacon.
Knew Abraham Lincoln.
He knew Abraham Lincoln, having
served as guard at the Inauguration
and as a marshal at the funeral of
the martyred President
Mr.. Lord was twice married, to
Sarah ]. Douglas in 1850 and to Eliza
beth Darby in 1875. He is survived
