CITIZENS PROTEST
REzONNG PROJECT:
Prominent Residents Vigor'
ousIy Oppose Change at
18th and q Streets.

A vehement protest against the re
coming of the site of the former Chi
nese legation. at the southeast cor
ner of Eighteenth and Q streets. sc
as to permit the erection of 9O-toot
high apartment house, was registered
bv some of Washingtons most inffu.
entail citizens at a public hearing
today of the Zoning Commission In
the boardroom of the District Build
ing.
Senator Golf of West Virginia sent
a representative to object to the
change on the ground that he bought
his home at 1906 New Hampshire
avenue on account of the beauty and
exclusiyeness of the locality, which
It was declared, would be marred by
the proposed apartment building.
Other Prominent Directors.
The other professionals were Senator

tor Edge of New Jersey, 1920 Eight
zenith street; Senator Sackett of Ken
lucky, 1929 Eighteenth street, and
Rear Admiral w. w. Kimball, re
tired. Senior Don Juan Chenalier
secretary Of the legation of Panama
also objects to the proposed change
because, he. said, his country had sci
aside high-class lots at low prices tC
build a legation and it would be unfail
to subject the legation to the intru
sion of apartment houses.
Representative Thomas M. Blantor
Of Texas was one of those who APP
peared before the commission to urge

MILITIA WON'T GET
PENSION BUILDING
Grant Sees Little Chance of
Office Becoming Avail
able Soon.

Plans of the District Commissioners
to have the Pension Office Building as
signed to the District Militia We're
halted today by Lieut.. Col. u. s. Grant
Sd, executive officer of the Public
Buildings Commission.
Col. Grant in reply to a request OF
the Commissioners that the Pension
Office Building be turned over to the
Militia for use as its headquarters and
armory when it is vacated by the Cen
eral Accounting Office, explained that
there is virtually no prospect of this
building being assigned to the military
organization.
II regret to state" said Col. Grant,
letter, that there is no prospect of
the assignment of the Pension Build
ing to the Militia of the District of
Columbia. The General Accounting
Office has only recently been located
in this building and, while new
building will probably be built for the
General Accounting Office, the fact
that this office is. fairly satisfactorily
provided for at the present time will
tend to make any new building for ii
one of the last elements in the public
building program.
while there is, Of course, 81 posi-
bility of the Pension Office Building
ultimately becoming available for the
use of the militia, no assurance to
this effect is now possible, and there
is possibility that by the time the
new building shall have been com.
pleted for the General Accounting OF,
fee there may be some other more
urgent need for the use OF this build.
ing for housing some Federal depart.
ment or Independent establishment
This is an eventuality the likelihood of
which cannot now be foreseen by the
Public Building Commission. How.
ever, 1t is my personal opinion
that too much reliance should not be
placed on ultimately securing this
building, and that it sis advisable to
make provision. il suitable, as soon as
possible for the needs of the District
of Columbia Militia. However, in this
suggestion I am not at all speaking
for the commission, which has not de
cided on any recommendation in the
matter"

CAPTURE OF THREE
ENDS 12-H0UR SIEGE
Brother and Sister Wounded
When 80 Jersey Troopers
Storm Farmhouse.

CLINTON, n. j., December o.
Two brothers and their sister, who for
II hours withstood the attack of 80
State troopers on their farmhouse at
the foot of Jugtown Mountain at Jut-
land near here, were captured today
when the officers made concerted
rush on the house.
James and Beatrice Meaney were
slightly. wounded by the fire which
the troopers poured into the rambling
old house throughout the night in re.
ply to volleys from the occupants.
Timothy .Meaney was uninjured. The
three offered no resistance when the
troopers broke into the house.
The fight between the farmers and
officers started yesterday afternoon
when two agents for the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
went to the farm to investigate com.
plants of mistreatment of cattle. The
brothers refused to allow the agents
to inspect the stock and they obtained
a. search warrant.
Troopers expressed surprise that
the three had been able to withstand
the effects of tear gas bombs which
were hurled into the house during the
night.
Larson, State trooper. who went
with officers to serve the warrant. was
ordered off by James, who held a shot.
gun. He and the agents backed away
and when, about 80 feet off Larson
fred, striking James in the kneecap.
Timothy rushed into the house and
obtained another shotgun, which he
fired at Larson.
Corpl. Matthew Daily arrived with
reinforcements. Daily and Larson
smashed in a door and entered. A
shotgun was pushed throug a door,
according to Daily, and both barrels
were discharged at him. He fired
and then retired. Timothy opened
fire from the kitchen window and the
troopers returned a volley.
DAILY was struck as he started to
walk across the yard. Trooper Peter
Smith also was wounded Early this
morning 80 troopers rushed the house
and hurled eight tear gas bombs
through the windows.
There was a lull in the firing for
three hours and then Timothy shout
ed: Don't throw any more bombs.
The other two are dead Six troopers
forced their way into the kitchen and
disarmed him. James and Beatrice
were found in another room. Beatrice
was wounded in the hip.
