STREET WIDENING
MEETING CALLED
Business Mems Group to Dis
cuss Delay on Thirteenth
Street Expansion.

The ACCESSIBILITY of the action by
the District Commissioners in delay
ing until next Spring the work of
widening Thirteenth street from l
street to Massachusetts avenue, be-
cause of protests against the neces-
sary removal of shade trees, will be
taken up for consideration at a spe-
cial meeting of the Thirteenth Street
Business Mems Association this after
noon.
While the contract for the compile
ton of the Thirteenth street widen
ing program has been let, actual
work has been deferred until next
March to allow Congress time to rule
again on the question of the street
widening programs in the light of the
tree removal.
Members of the Thirteenth Street
Association, it is said, feel that the
widening of Thirteenth street, which
already has been completed to 1
street, should be continued to Massa-
chusetts avenue at this time, mas.
much as but few shade trees would
be affected there.
Pointing out that this operation to
Massachusetts has been authorized
by Congress and that necessary APP
propriations are available, Ross p.
Andrews, president of the association,
declares in a letter announcing the
meeting:
IF we had known that the chief
result of. widening Thirteenth street
at an expense of 40 per cent to us
property holders would be to afford
garage space for car owners who do
not reside on this street nor transact
business with those of us who do abut
on this street, we might well have
hesitated.
"As property owners and as bust
ness men we are interested in having
the widening of this street to Massa-
avenue carried out in accord
ance with the congressional mandate.
If this project is completed it will
add to the value Of our property, it
will relieve a great deal of the con-
gestion of automobiles parked on the
already widened portion of the street,
it will properly utilize Thirteenth
street as an arterial highway, and
the sooner new trees are planted to
take the place of those that have
to be temporarily sacrificed. the
sooner the tree lovers will have their
wishes gratified."

MARSHAL IS AUCTl0NEER.
Federal Official Has New Duty Due
to Economy Plan.

The governmental economy pro-

another job to the already multi.
tudinous duties Of the office of the
United States marshal for the Dis
trict Of Columbia-that of auctioneer.
The office has just made it's debut,

seized under the prohibition law, all
of which brought to the Government

mercial auctioneer, which in this case
would have been $92.
Marshal E. c Snyder said that the
prices were as good as are generally
received when the automobiles are
sold by commercial auctioneers. The
new method of selling the automobiles
was put into effect under new regu.
lations, made by order of the con-

who has insisted that money must
be saved by the Government wherever
possible. 1t was said that the prac.

MYSTERY SHROUDS
MURDER ON SHIP
Woman Slain, Desperate
Killer Breaks 0ut-Mate
of KingsWay Dies.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. July 20.-A deep-sea
mystery smacking of square rigging
days that has preceded the four.mast-
ed schooner Kingsway half around
the world was the subject Of Federal
inquiry today.
With the arrival Of the 1,200-ton
craft off Quarantine, the tale OF the
murder of a woman, the escape of
her slayer and the death of the mate
was to be sifted by United States dis.
trtct attorneys who were prepared to
board the ship with armed forces.
The Kingsway was due at Quaran-
tine at mignight, but became be-
Gained in fog off Sandy Hook.
Earlier in the day 1t had signaled
Coast Guard patrol boat 101 near
Barnegat and the patrol boat pro-
ceeded to trail her to Quarantine.
First reports that all was not right
with the Kiingsway came from the
American consul at Monrovia, Liberia,
who reported to the State Department
that woman aboard the craft had
been murdered by the cook while the
ship was off the Gold coast.
The kingsway, owned by the
African & Eastern Trading Co., had
tNAASO Ahob yC1A ALOiLl annoy,
N. j.. for a deep sea trading cruise
along the African coast.
The ship carries no wireless and
the meager report of the Staying de.
veloped into a mystery Of the sea as
the ship plowed It's slow way across
the Atlantic.
A later report from Monrovia was
that when the ship arrived there the
captain said his mate had died and
he engaged a new one.
Next word came from a small
trading vessel that reported passing
the craft and receiving a message
from its skipper, which said: "Pris.
oner has broken out. Have no irons
in which to hold him. This In a
desperate man."
Just who the murdered woman was
remains part Of the mystery. One
report had It she was the wife of
the captain. another that she was
the wife OF the cook.

Question of Title Arises.
Chairman Yadan declared today that
published accounts of last nights
meeting gave the erroneous impress
sion that the council is opposed to
Gravelly Point, when as a matter Of
fact a majority appears to be in favor
of the Potomac site. Just because
we asked number of leading Ques-
tons is no reason to assume that we
were at ISSUE" he said.
The question of title to the Gravelly
Point area arose, as it did when the
representatives of the three local trade
bodies first met, and DR.. Havenner en-
pressed the opinion that he did not
believe any taxpayers money should
be used to reclaim land in Virginia.
Maj. Clayton E. Emig, chairman of
the public utilities committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
who has been most helpful in the
working out of the local airport prob
lem, will be asked to sit with the
council at its meeting tomorrow night.
While the meeting will be conducted
openly, Chairman Yaden said it was
not proposed to hold any hearing.
The Gravelly Point site, which has
been a bone of contention for more
than Il month, has the approval of
aviation experts of the Army, Navy
and Department of Commerce, besides
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, which conducted an
Independent inquiry a year ago and

the rest of the cabinet.
MIR. Gibson, as chief American
delegate, asked that the departure of
the two British leaders be not looked
upon as an adjournment of the con-
ference, but only AS a temporary sus-
pension of the chief delegates negoti-
atoms. In view of the fact that
Admirals Sir Frederick and Field and
Sir Aubrey Smith and most of the
British technical experts remained
behind, the Americans feel that con-
siderable of what Mr.. Gibson terms
light homework" can be done in
conjunction with the Japanese techni-
clans. in order that the British pleni-
potentiaries can find minor matters
fairly we'll cleared up by the time they
return to resume the more arduous
labors.
Nevertheless, while the minor
chores are being done. some one will
be glued to the telephone to Tendon
to learn how the British cabinet is re-
ceiving the reported determine ton of
the United States not to accept IA
ito of IL 10.000-ton cruisers armed
with S-inch guns for Great Britain
and the United States, and 8 for
JAPAN unless the United States is au-
thoriZed to construct other somewhat
lighter cruisers still capable of
mounting S-inch guns.
Limit of Concessions Sought.
The conservative view prevailing in
Geneva is that the British cabinet
wants to see how far it can go in max.
ing concessions. On the other hand,
there is the remark of one British
pokesman-"Great Britain will want
to build as many Sinch-gun cruisers
as the United States, and if the
United States insists on constructing
a considerable number of the ships,
then Britain cannot possibly keep
within the total tonnage figures re-
Gently proposed"
In the meantime a fresh difficulty
looms on the horizon in connection
with the maintenance of obsolete
cruisers as proposed by the British
these obsolete vessels to be over and
above the regular treaty total ton
mage. Originally the British suggested
"a years as the age limit for cruisers |
while the Americans suggested 20 and |
the Japanese 16. Subsequent to in |
their obsolete warship pro-
posal the British favored accepting
the Japanese age limit of Is.

stituted a joker in the conference, as |
would be regarded as obso- |
lete at that age and kept on as SUBJ |

inal British suggestion, they could be |
considered as still of fighting value.
