CLUBHOUSE PLANNED.
Committee Named by Garrett Park
Citizens Association.

Garrett Park is to have a commu.
nifty clubhouse, which will probably be
ready for occupancy by Labor day.
The citizens association earlier in
the week approved the plan and a
building committee, consisting of
Smith l.. Putnam, Capt. l.. L. Dye
and Guy H. Oyster, was named by
President Alton L. Wells to have
charge of the operations.
The clubhouse will be of rustic
construction, i'm keeping with the
sylvan character of the community.
1t will contain a large hall, 40 by 80
feet, with stage, Is feet wide and
10 feet deep, at one end. There will
be large rustic porch and a rustic
bridge. The building win be utilized
for weekly club meetings, dances and
other entertainments or meetings.
Prof. David Lumsden of Battery
Park, who is a landscape expert in
The Agricultural Department. has in
spected the site and pronounced 1t
ideal in every respect, lending itself
admirably to the contemplated i'm
provements in connection with the
club house. The site was donated to
the citizens Of Garrett Park by Mad

CHICAGO GANGLAND
GETSNEW VICTIM
Bootleg Rivalry Is Believed
Responsible in Shotgun
Killing at Saloon.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, July 24.-Both barrels of
shotgun roared in the grillroom of
an outlying saloon late last night and
when the smoke had cleared away,
Frank Conlon, 25, lay dead-the
forty.seventh victim in Chicago's
gangland warfare.
The cause of the shooting, like all
others, remains a mystery, and the
slayers probably never will be caught,
police claim, as gangland prefers to
hold its own court and pass it's own
sentences of death upon vtolators Of
its code.
The killing, coming but a day later
than that of Philip Piazza, wealthy
Chicago Heights cafe owner, may be
linked in a new beer and liquor war
feud, investigators believe, and may
scandal caused when Frank McErlane,
liquor baron, was found drunk In jail
While a crowd filed the saloon and
merriment was at its height. a shot
Igun was pushed through a window
and both barrels fired into Conlon'S
body.
Four men and two women today
were taken into custody by the police
for questioning.
The police believe that the bullets
may have been meant for Vincent
McErlane, whose brother is the leader
of the McErlane-Sa alcohol syndi-
cate.
Police also believe that Conlon was
dealing in liquor on a small scale, and
may have been slain by rivals whose
territory he invaded.

DENIAL OF LEAVE
BY M'CARL STANDS
Temporary Employees Hope
for Relief From Decision
Finally Dashed.

Some hope that still fingered among
temporary employees Of the Govern
ment that means might be found
for granting them sick or vacation
leave this Summer, in spite of Con-
troller General McCarl's ruling that
such leaves are not permissible, has
been dashed by the Treasury Depart
ment.
This department, it was learned.
had caused some of its officials to
make a serious investigation into the
whole matter to see If there could be
any legal means of granting leave to
these employees, Who in the past had
benefited from it along with perma.
nent employees Of the Government.
Treasury Issues Order.
Bat after an exhaustive inquiry the
Treasury has issued a perfunctory
order without explanation, declaring
as follows:g
Temporary employees will not be
allowed leave of absence with pay dur
ing any of the period OF their tenn
porary employment"
The order was promulgated only
after officials had carefully examined
all possibilities in the situation, and
had given close thought 10 the Nc
Carl decision since it was rendered,
June 20.
Survey of the principal Government
departments revealed that there is a
tendency now to accept the McCarl
decision as final.
Faint Hope Remains.
Employees have hopes, however, in
a bill sponsored by the National Fed.
GRAFTON of Federal Employees, in the
last session of Congress, which would
clear UP the situation, and the cam
paign to obtain passage Of the meas
ure will be pushed now with more
vigor than ever.
Substantially all Government de-
partments and establishments had
been granting some form of sick and
annual leave to temporary employees
with the exception of the Navy De-
partment, which had taken the posi-
ton outlined by McCarl in his de-
ciSion.

BIG APPLE CROP SEEN.
Record of Six Years to Be Broken
in Patrick County, Virginia.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, July 24.-The
apple crop in Patrick County gives
promise of being the largest since
1920.
Barrels are being now turned out
in thousands and preparations are
being made for the Magnum Donum
and the Yorks, which will be the first
to ripen, and throughout the high
lands where the orchards cover
the spur hills of the Blue Ridge all
are preparing for the busiest time
in Patrick's history.
On account of new trees coming
into bearing the yield this year viii
be about 10000 barrels. Not only is
the fruit great in quantity, but it has
the additional virtue of being free
from blight and blen1ish. The Abe
marie pippins, especially those in
wha. is known as the North Side of
the county, have not done SO well
this year and the orchards bearing
this type will not yield so heavily as
the Others. This Is expected to result
in a higher price for the Albemarles.
