BRIDGE IS
URGED
Cong. Moore Of Virginia Gives
Committee Testimony Favor
able to Project

Construction of the proposed
$14, 1000, O00I memorial bridge, con-
Meeting Potomac Park and Ar
lington, was urged today at q
hearing before the House Com
mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds.
Congressman r. Walton Moore
of Virginia led the presentation
of testimony in behalf of the pro-
posed project.
Declares Bridge Necessity.
He declared that this bridge is
absolutely necessary to the proper
development of the National Capital.
In refutation OF the argument that
construction of the bridge would be
in conflict with the Presidents
economy program. he declared:
mo economy program worthy Of
the name will ever prevent Con-
gress from making appropriations
for beneficial or necessary pur-
poses."
DIR. 8. M. Johnson, Of the Lee
Highway Association, also strongly
urged construction of the bridge,
declaring that no project ever
brought before Congress has been
given such deliberate and careful
planning as the proposed bridge.
Work on Approaches.
The committee was told that con-
struction OF the bridge would me-
cessitate improvement in the ap-
proaches, including the widening
OF B street and TNwenty-third street,
at total cost of $2,2OO,O0O.
The final action on the bill prob
ably will be taken by the commit
tee at it's next meeting. Colonel
c. o. Sheriff., officer in charge of
public buildings and grounds, and
several engineering officers are yet
to be heard.

HyattsViIIe Shoemaker Sends
in AIarrnBIaze Does j
$1,000 Damage

Frank Cicchini, Hyattsv4lle, Nd,
shoemaker, probably owes his life
to his, humane treatment Of q
stray alley cat which visited his
shop late yesterday afternoon.
He took the cat in, fed it, and
gave it a warm place to sleep
last night. This morning about
4 o'clock the animal set up a howl.
Cicchini got out Of bed to see what
was the trouble. He discovered
Baldwin's pool room next door in
flames and the fire speeding to
his own place.
Phone Exchange Near By.
The telephone exchange Is but q
few doors from Cicchini's place
and Mrs. Felix PaIlas, the operator
on duty heard his cry Of fire and
sounded the alarm. &
The fire, which is supposed TO
have originated from an overheated
stove in the pool room, spread to
five buildings before 1t was put
under control by firemen from
Hyattsville, surrounding towns and
the Washington fire department.
The damage is estimated at about
$1,000.
Firemen had trouble in fighting
the fire because the flames were
fiercest in an air space between
the second floor ceiling and the
roof of the pool room. Three pool
tables, and a quantity of acces-
series were destroyed. The pro-
prietor carried no insurance.
Cicchini's shop was also damaged
by fire and the roof OF his sleeping
apartment above the shop fell in.
His place was also badly damaged
by smoke and water.
The adjoining building occupied
by a lunch room was also damaged
by water and smoke, as was the
barber shop of B. F. Chinn, and
the real estate office Of Rogers and
Rogers. The tailoring establish
ment Of A Elmo suffered consider
able damage to stock.

COMEBACK
Rumor Scopes Trial Used
for Political Scheme
BY RAYMOND CLaPPER
Copyright, 1925. l.. M


DAYTON. Tenn. July THE
Scopes evolution case may be tho
stepping stone that will put William
Jennings Bryan back in the polIu.
cal arena as n candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination.
Bryan has given the Scopes cnse
an entirely new twist by his warn.
ing that, should the supreme court
throw out the Tennessee law. he
would seek 20 overthrow that dc.
cislon by nm appeal to tho country.
This uttorancc, made just on the
eve Of tho trial. is regarded as fore.
casting tho return OF Bryan TO the
political iimelight. especially in view
OF his plan TO make pilgrimage TO
the Holy Land soon, after the case
IL over.
His return from that pilgrimage.
his friends hope, would rival tho
return OF Roosevelt from Africa,
and have much Significance on his
political ambitions. There is fur.
Their Significance in tho fact that
Bryan has told friends privately,
here. that the next democratic can.
dIdate must como from the South
and West.
These AFRO the thoughts that are
running thru tho minds OF some
here. during tho lull before tho
trial Friday.
