HARPERS FERRY PAPER COM
PANY ENJOINED.

An injunction has been issued by
Judge d. II. Rodgers. of the Jeffer-
son Circuit Court on the petition
of the Potomac River Corporation
against the Harpers Ferry Paper Com
pany and the Harpers Ferry Pulp
Company, both located at Harpers
Ferry. The purpose of the injunction
is to prevent either company from
withdrawing options to purchase its
plant and water power obtained by
James r. Gloyd on September IL,
1925, and later assigned by him to the
Potomac River Corporation, and furth-
er to prevent the defendant companies
from selling or otherwise disposing of
their holdings.
The petition of the Potomac River
Corporation alleges that under the OPP
tion obtained by Mr.. Gloyd, the defen-
dant companies entered into contract
to sell to the holder of the option on
June /, 1926, all of their right, title
and interests in mills, machinery and
water power rights at Harpers Ferry.
A method of ascertaining the market
value of the interests involved was pro-
vided for in the option to purchase.
When the time arrived for the Po-
tomac River Corporation to exercise
/ its option, namely, June /, the petition
further alleges, the two defendant
companies refused to abide by the
terms of the contract.
This litigation will delay the great
water power development that has
been projected on both the Shenandoah
and Potomac rivers. Those Of us with
expectation that the extensive tests
and surveys made by the engineers il
the last eight months ,foreboded greai
prosperity for the eastern section o.
| the county, are keenly disappointed.

CAPT. FOLEY DIES IN RICHMOND

Capt. John f. Foley, formerly a
well known resident of this county.
died at the Confederate Soldiers Home
IN Richmond, Va, Wednesday night,
after long period of declining health.
Enfeebled by age, Capt. Foley suffer-
ed fractured hip in fall at the home
about year ago, the accident causing
him to be bedfast the remainder Of
his days. The remains were brought
to the home Of his nephew, Mr.. John
u, Currie, three miles north Of Charles
Town on Friday. and the funeral was
held Saturday. Services were
conducted at the Currie home
at 10 o'clock by the Rev. DIR. G. @.
Sydnor, following which the remains
were taken to Harper Cemetery.
Harpers Ferry, for interment.
Born near Zoar, this county, in
1910, Capt. Foley had just reached
manhood when Virginia called for vol
unteers in her military service on the
secession of the state In 1861. He was
among the first to offer his services,
and was active in recruiting company
OF infantry at Duffields, of which he
was chosen Second Lieutenant. His
company entered the Confederate SER
vice, as Company II. Second Virginia
Infantry, Stonewall Brigade. In all of
the perilous campaigns of the war par
ticipated in by his regiment, John
Foley was there. Early in the war,
he was promoted to First Lieutenant,
and near the end, became Captain. He
was in command of ragged, half
starved remnant of his company at the
close of the great drama at Appomat-
ok, and was among that Spartan band
of heroes who expressed disappoint-
ment that their army should be sur
rendered.
| At the end of the war, Capt. Foley
returned home and engaged in farm
/ ing for many years For two or three
years in the first administration Of
President Cleveland, he was in the rev.
enue service of the government. Capt
Foley who was bachelor, was the last
surviving member of his family, ana
with the exception of Capt. George
Kurtz. of Winchester, Va, was the last
surviving commissioned officer OF the
Stonewall Brigade.

PLAY for Exercise.

From the Morgantown New Dominion.
DIR. Charles NJ. Wharton, director of
health and physical education at the
University OF Pennsylvania, is not one
of the modern exercise faddistS. al
though he has had 80 years Of expert
ence in training athletes and keeping
college men fit.
Exercise as q panacea for all hu-
man Ills Is overrated," he says. The
search for the fountain of youth by
exercise and diet has been CONNER
cialized to a point Of hysteria. Reduc'
ing and starvation diets are assaults
on health, and selecting the early
hours for exercise is choosing the
worst time Of day for such efforts.
Some one should cry @ halt against
the wild scramble for health by un-
natural means.
"Furthermore, exercise is best when
It Is relaxed play, when 1t Is pleasure
and not work and when it comes, as it
were, Of itself and is not merely self
imposed as q stern duty"
Instead Of leaping out OF bed and
exercising violently for 90 minutes.
try walking to work and entertaining
yourself by noting new signs Of Spring
from day to day. Or take the formal
exercises If you really enjoy them and
their immediate effect, but don't take
them II you have to force yourself to
them against all inclination and COM
fort.
The person who abandons formal
exercise. however, should be sure to
indulge in relaxed play. often enough
70 get from 1t the good he needs. That
sort OF play is something too few
Americans know anything about.

Point and Boiling Field. in the west.
ern part Of Anacostia Park.
| The District tree nursery has led a
hazardous and changing existence by
being temporarily located here and
there. and the superintendent or trees
ana parking sought to have the Pop
lar Point location made permanent.
That nursery situation is not the best,
but it has various merits. The Ameri-
can elm grows we'll there, but 1t is not
a suitable site for the Norway maple
and the red oak, trees Of the first rank
for street growth. Water Is too close
to the surface in the reclaimed river
bottom Of Anacostia Park for the OAKS
and hard naples. The site is valuable
for seed beds and for very young trees
Of several species, but before the oaks
and naples send their roots to the
water level they are transplanted to
higher land at the Fort Dupont nurs'
cry. The National Capital Park Com
mission has given the nursery an en-
larged site on Fort Dupont reserva'
ton, but, q large part OF the site be-
ing forest, there is no thought of cut
ting down the old native trees. a
great many trees that will be set out
along the street will be grown to the
right size at the Fort Dupont nursery.
An old District tree nursery was set
out in the former workhouse grounds,
or reservation No. Is. on which the
Jail, crematorium, pesthouse and other
buildings stand. That site is not now
used for growing trees. but as a work.
shop for making tree boxes and as a
storage place for various equipment.
A few ~ears ago the District nurs-
cry was at Seventh and Cpshur
streets and on loaned land. On the
entrance OF the United States into the
World War the War Department
claimed the land for hospital purposes
and destroyed the nursery. Later the
site was taken for a school building.
The District nursery was then set up
on small tract on the Fort Dupont
reservation, which had been bought
for possible park use. Next. the War
Department loaned the District thirty.
Ave acres OF the new.made land near
Poplar Point. and the bill now before
the House would transfer that lot to
the District government as a perma-
nent place for the District tree nurs.

has not been given much consideration
since the war and has been doing a
great deal Of work on little money, but
It is believed that its outlook is better.
The demand for street trees grows as
new streets are opened and there is
mortality from storm and disease
among trees on the older streets.

former court jeweler who says that
the jeweled headpiece was brought to
him in a leather hat box by a man
who represented himself as the agent
of the exiled monarch, who told him
that Wilheim's greatest desire was to
see Princess Hermine wear the crown
Of the former empress at, the altar.
Hermine's head being slightly smaller
than that Of Augusta, II was neces-
sary to take a tuck in the crown in
order that It might fit. Now comes
the question: How is the crown to be
recovered? The German government
wants It back. Wilhelm has made no
offer to return It, So far as known,
