AUTO TRIP NETS
z GIRLS, z MEN

Picked up on a lookout from
Rockville, two youths and two
girls were today being questioned
by police in an effort to determine
their activities before they reached
this city.
The quartet was arrested today by
Policeman Sherlock Harrison after
the Second precinct. had been ad.
vised that some people riding in
an automobile bearing a Pennsyl-
vanla tag number had entered and
robbed a garage in Rockville.
The four gave their names as
Samuel Mathers. 26, and Charles
n. O'Brosky, rs. both OF Pitts.
burgh. Pa, and Florence Ross, 10.
and Viola Albright, IS, both of
Akron Ohio.
They were arrested when they
attempted to enter their machine.
after having spent some time at
615 D st. n. w.
They told police that they had
been travelling through New York
and Pennsylvania for the past three
weeks.
Although wanted for housebreak-
ing. it is possible that the two men
may face much more serious
charge as the result of having
taken the girls through different
States.

That was the plea made to the
District Commissioners in public
hearing today by representatives
of the American Automobile Assoc
citation, the Automotive Trade As.
ISOLATION, the Commercial Vehicle
Owners Association, the Washing
ton Board of Trade, the Chamber
of Commerce and the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association.
The delegations were protesting
against the Commissioners recent
action adopting the Bureau of Eff
ficiency plan for distributing tags.
They told the Commissioners that
those provisions of the new plan re-
quiring tag applicants to sign APP.
plications and to present old regis.
tration cards in order to get a new
tag were impractical.
The delegations arguments were
presented by George w. Offutt,
the Board of Trade. the
A. A. A. and, unofficially, the Traf-
fic Advisory Council.
The Commissioners did not reach
a definite decision but their opinion
seemed to be that the Bureau of

OCTAG0N HOUSE
IS M|SNOMER

Change your historical sketches to
make it read-The OctagOn.
When historians write of the IA
nous old structure at 1741 New
York Ave. N. w. and refer to it
as the Octagon House they err, in
the opinion of the American Insti
tute of Architects who. for the past
twenty.seven years have made the
building their national headquarters.
John Tayloe, who built the house
about 125 years ago, called il The
Octagon.
It became the Executive Mansion
in 1914 and 1915 after the British
burned the White House.
President James Madison drew
the Treaty of Client. the peace
treaty that ended hostilities between
America and England. in the ia
nous octagon room over the en-
trance hallway.
Many interesting stories are told
of The Octagon, some of them being
supported by physical facts.
In the cellar were elaborate
brick lockers for wine; the house
had numerous secret panels and
mystery doors; tunnel from the
cellar under Eighteenth Street has
never been explained.
In the yard, there remain evil
dences of the rose garden where
Dolly Madison is said to have
carried on Irritation with Martin
Van Buren,.
For many years The Octagon
was said to be haunted. In fact
photographs showing grotesque
shapes Were made in the building.
There were frequent reports some
years ago that secret panel doors
had opened in front of visitors to
the house and hands had reached
out as IL to beckon visitors.

STEERS
is LOADED HERE

A shipment of approximately 800
head of feeder steers was loaded in
the Douglas yards Tuesday bound
for Bowie where they will be placed
on a ranch owned by A. F. Seeley
The steers were purchased by A. F..
Seeley from Eugene Seeley and were
brought here from the Seeley ranch
in Mexico.
The entire shipment had to be
dipped to comply with the inspec-
tion rulos on stock coming across
the border. This transfer of cattle
marks one of few movements since
the fall shipping season as the
high prices and great demand for
beef and veal at that time depleted
the local ranges to such an extent
that with grass coming on nicely
there are no further sales.
Local cattlemen report that unless
cattle are purchased during the next
few months and placed on the ranges
in this district there will be but
very small sales to the market next
fall as the ranges are almost devoid
of stock. Grazing IS excellent for
this season of the year and every
indication is that there will be better

Grain Market

CHICAGO, Feb. 23 (E).-Corn and oats
smashed down today to new low price
records for the season. There was
heavy general selling, and country ad-
vices indicated free offerings from

Elected the weakness of feed grains.
Corn closed heavy, IL az cents to
25s cents net lower wheat %@5s cent

off, and provisions 2 to Is cents up.
Big holders of corn and little owners
as we'll were pressing to sell today.
Liberal receipts of corn here today, APT
cars, and the disappointing action of
the corn market since the McNary-
Haugen bill was passed had apparently
much to do with the increase of SELL
ing. The downward swings in price
which ensued were accelerated by the
numerous standing orders to stop
losses at various fixed limits, which
where automatically brought into oper-
alton Mild weather likely to diminish
feeding demand was a contributing
bearish factor.
Lowest prices of the season were
reached in the corn market right at the
close Buying was confined largely to
previous sellers, who were in position
to collect profit. Failure of shipping
demand to broaden here attracted much
notice and so likewise did the fact that
Chicago receivers today had booked
900 bushels more OF corn to arrive.
Oats followed the downward sweep OF
the corn market.
Wheat was bearishly affected not
only by the weakness of other grain
but also by unusually fine weather for
domestic winter wheat and by unex-
pected lower quotations for wheat at
Liverpool Predictions, too, were cur
rent that wheat supplies arriving in
Europe will exceed import require
