Special Dispatch to The Star.
FALLS CHURCH, Va, November
"A joint meeting of the four citi-
zens' associations of this locality was
held in Madison School auditorium
last night. AS this is the reg, liar
meeting night of the Falls Church
Association, A. L. Anderson, president
of that body, presided, and held a
brief business meeting first.
1t was voted to ask the town council
to erect precautionary traffic signals
on each side at the intersection of
Washington and Broad streets. A
proposition was made that the town
council provide that all electrical work
shall be done by licensed electricians
and that an authorized inspector of
all such work be appointed, but the
proposition was not approved.
w. p. Doyle. reporting on the pro.
posed bazaar to be given during the
week of November 90 to December -

promote better cooperation and town
spirit and get all sections interested in
one large affair, instead of each sec.
ton having a separate bazaar, as
for needed improvements. 1t was
proposed to have representatives
from each association working on each
committee and the proceeds to be
divided equally among the associa-
tions, to be used as each organiza.
ton may see fit.
Representatives Of the various as.
sociations and the president of each

agreed to work for the success of the
venture. Each chairman will be au-
thorized to select his committee from
members of his association. The ex-

SiXty-seven colored Baptist churches

Dog License Fight
Costs Indian Head
Residents Franchise
Special Dispatch to The Star.

INDIAN HEAD, Md, November
1.-Two hundred and forty resi-
dents Of the Government reserva-
ton at Indian Head today are de-
prived of the right of franchise
for the first time in IS years. This
situation has been brought about
through a decision of the court
rendered after a controversy arose
over dog license.
About a year ago a resident of
the reservation, having refused to
purchase a license when ordered
by county authorities, carried his
case to court and was represented
by a Federal attorney. Up to this
time the State authorities had ex.
ercised police jurisdiction on the
reservation in conjunction with
Federal officers. In 1908, a law
was passed giving residents Of this
reservation the right of franchise.
This law, however, did not repeal
the old law of 1900, which ceded
the reservation to the Federal
Government, with sole Jurisdiction
thereof, and the court, therefore,
held that the residents were with
out right to vote as citizens Of
the State.

montgomery VOTE
MAY BREAK RECORD
Democrats Expected to
Carry County With Excep-
i tion of Urner for Judge.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November g.
AS a result of ideal weather and un-
workers Of the two parties, a heavy
vote is being polled in Montgomery
County today. With the opening Of
the polls at o'clock this morning,
automobiles began bringing voters to
the polls and returning them to their
homes, and this is expected to be kept
up without interruption until the polls
close at o'clock this evening.
Based on reports from various parts
of the county. it was predicted here
this morning that the total vote would
probably prove a record breaker for
the county.
In the two Rockville precincts it
was apparent that the Democratic
ticket was being slashed from top to
bottom, and it is understood the same
was true of other precincts in the
county. Democratic leaders insisted
that the Republicans, especially in
the lower section of the county, were
also indulging in wholesale scratch
ing, and this will offset to a large
extent the Democratic detection, they
say.
There is believed to be little doubt
that Judge Hammond Urner. who is
Republican candidate to succeed him
self as chief judge of the sixth
judicial circuit, comprising Mont
gomery and Frederick counties, will
carry this county by a substantial
majority. Upon the advice of party
leaders many Democrats are under
stood to be giving him their sup
port, while Republicans are believed
10 be voting solidly for him.
The best opinion here is that, with
the exception Of the candidate for
Judge, all of the Democratic candi-
dates will probably carry the county
by varying matorities, although it
would occasion little surprise if one
or two Republicans should slip in.
Because of the long ballot, which
contains SO names, and the spaces
for voting for or against a proposed
amendment to the State constitution,
the count of the vote is sure to be
slow. and complete returns are not
expected before daybreak or later
tomorrow morning.
