SO HELD IN.
MARYLAND
TACWAR
Deputies Become Active In
Chevy chase-1oo Now
in Tolls

Another contingent of promi-
nent Washingtonians, thirty-nine
in all, who live across the Mary
land line but whose business and
social obligations in the National
Capital monopolize their attention
were snagged at Chevy Chase cir
Gle today in Maryland's fictitious
tag" war as they came in to work.
Six deputy sheriffs, the same
who since Wednesday have made
100 arrests and obtained nearly a
score of convictions at the Rock
vile court house, greeted all
motorists with District tags and
compelled them to prove residence
in the District or accept a sum
mons to talk the matter over with
Judge Samuel Riggs at Rockville.
Deaf TO all a1ibis one deputy
today even arrested a public spirit
ed WaShingtonian who purchased
Maryland tags at the beginning OF
the year. but put them under the
seat of his car. preferring to use
a District tag which he also bought.
1t is such cases as this which
Attorney George w. Offutt, of the
American Automobile Association,
who is spending his time in Rock
vile during the tag war. is helping
defend.
New battle-ground
In selecting Chevy Chase Circle
as their battle-ground today, the
deputies crossed the dope as they
told newspapermen yesterday they.
would work the Takoma Park en-
frances to the District again today
as they did yesterday.
Those arrested today were given
summonses to appear in court on
Thursday. 1t is expected that every
day next week will be taken up
with the fictitious tag" cases.
Edwin c. Bradenhurg former
president of the Washington Board
OF Trade and Senator O. e. Weller
of Maryland are among the promi-
nent men scheduled for hearings
today and on Tuesday.
10 Day Stay Refused
A ten days stay asked in some
cases Dy Attorney OlluLl was IS-
fused by the Maryland authorities.
The postponement was asked by
Offutt on the grounds that previous
business enga gements made it i'm
possible for number of the auto
mobile owners to appear at Rock
vile today.
Mr.. Offutt says that number
of the members of the American
Automobile Association. which he
represents, will establish adequate
reasons for not obtaining Maryland
licenses. Among these explana-
tions Attorney Offutt said. some
will claim that they are residing in
Maryland for only a short period.
Others will claim that the machines
bearing District licenses which they
were driving at the time of their
arrest belong to their employees,
who have their places of business in
Washington.

DANGEROUS
SHERRNL
FINDS
Millions Of Dollars Worth OF
Records Menaced in Tenn
porary Structures, He Says

Lives of thousands of Govern
ment employees housed in the tenn
porary structures at Sixth and B
streets northwest, and in the
vicinity of Eighteenth and D
streets. are jeopardized daily as
a result of the rotten wooden un-
derpinning of the buildings, as
well as sagging floors and dan
gerous walls and ceilings, Colonel
Clarence o. Sheriff., superintend-
ent of public buildings and grounds
declared today.
Hundreds of workmen are now
busily engaged in removing the
rotten underpinnings and are in
stalling new ones, but this does
not relieve the dangerous condi-
ton of the sagging floors and the
rapidly deterioratinR walls ana
ceilings.
Lacks Appropriate tiOns
Alterations have been continuous
for several months. Colonel Sheriff.
declared, and by the time the i'm
provements are made on the last OF
the buildings. it will be necessary
to start work again on the struc-
lures that were the first to be re-
paired.
I'VE haven't the appropriation
TO replace the rotten wooden under
pinnings with concrete ones, which
would last a long time, and so must
from time to time put in new
wooden ones" Colonel Sheriff. de-
clared today.
Colonel Sheriff. declared that the
fire hazard in these structures Is
particularly great. and il is no
secret that Government officials
are in particular fear of fire
breaking out in any one Of the
structures which would burn like
q tinder box.
Fortunately. we have had no
fires of any consequence in any
Of these temporary buildings. but
IL has largely been matter of
luck and nothing else,' Colonel
Sheriff. said
Lives of 10000 Menaced
1t is estimated that the lives of
| 10000 Government workers as well
as millions Of dollars worth of
records are daily menaced by fire
In the buildings.
Many of the temporary structures
have supplies of lumber and other
infIammable materials stored in
them and would feed flames and
insure their quick destruction.
Thousands Of income tax returns,
assessment lists and other papers
ere kept in these buildings, among
them being documents covering
hundreds Of millions of dollars in
increased assessments, many Of
which could not be replaced should
they be destroyed.
Colonel Sheriff. made no effort to
hide the fact that he is greatly
| worried over the condition OF these
temporary structures, which were
erected during the acute housing
situation here as a result Of the
war. and all of which are Of flimsy
construction.
! Senator Reed Smoot. chairman of
the Public Buildings Commission has
| obtained a large number of photo
graphs showing the condition Of
! these structures which will be
| shown to Senators and Congress-
men when Congress Convenes next
! December, in an effort to speed up
the building program of public
| structures for Washington, which
would remedy this condition.

Boston. June s.--Thes Commercial Bulletin today says;
 There is broader and stronger market in wool, prices being gener- ally about five cents secured pound higher than last week. Activity in the bright wool states is very much keener and some buying is reported in the territory states. with a fair consignment movement in swing.
 Better business in goods Is re- ported. more especially In woolens, although worsted and knit goods are In better demand.
 There Is rather more activity at he river plate and prices show a slight hardening tendency. Other wise, the foreign markets are hard ly changed, Bradford being slow on account Of the holidays and rather in favor of the buyer.
 "Mohair moves moderately at hardly changed rates.
