THE British press is busily engage

TIE BRUSH press is busily engaged
reporting executions thruout the
Soviet Union. The idea is to create
the impression that the Russians are
disconnected with the government and
that the latter is using terroristic
methods against the people. What
ever executions have taken place
there, have been officially announced
by the government. When Britain
talks about terror we do not forget
her bloody policy in India. Rarely a
week passes by, that some Hindoo ma
tionalist is not put to death for try
ing to free his country from British
rule.

D R Y SHAKE UP
LOOMS HERE

Prohibition enforcement conditions
in the District of Columbia are to,
be made the subject Of an intensive
survey by Assistant Secretary Of
Treasury Seymour Lowman in the
near future.
Following his survey of the New
York situation. which resulted today
In the wholesale discharge of pro-
hibition agents. Mr.. Lowman will
turn his attention to conditions In
Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Dis
trict, 1t was indicated today.
Plans are laid for a possible re.
organization of several branches of
the enforcement staff in this section
of the country, it vas said.
The reorganization may be de-
layed, however, until the field agent
has been placed upon a civil service
basis as the new law provides. Elk.
animation for these enforcement
jobs are now being held by the
Civil Service Commission.
Many reports and complaints from
dry interests have reached the pro-
hibition enforcement unit regarding
conditions in Washington and it was
said today that they will be investi-
gated at an early opportunity.

TURN
TO MERGER

With its other problems practically
disposed Of the Public Utilities
Commission today turned its atten-
ton toward plans for a merger of
District transportation companies.
The only current problem Of any
consequence still unsettled is the
one.man car project, which probably
will be allowed to rest for a while.
The merger situation has been
discussed in general way at the
last two meetings of the commits
sion. No definite program has
been worked out, however, 1t was
said today.
Members of the commission are
in favor of merger. and would
like to see one effected, but do
not believe it can be done by
legislation.
They believe that the bill intro.
duced at the last session Of Con.
gresS to force merger by penaliz.
ing the companies il they failed
to do so, would be declared uncon.
stitutional by the courts.
In order to make sure OF their
position, however, the. commission.
gers dec4ded today to ask Corpora
ton Counsel w. w. Bride to re-
port to them on whether or not
such an act would be constitu.
tional.

Pinkstaff. 81, 1887 Newton St., and
Mildred Bailie, 81. daughter OF the
editor and publisher Of the Claren-
don Chronicle, were married in
Hagerstown, Md, January 26, last.
For seven months the bride and
groom, who both work in the office
Of the auditor OF freight accounts,
have worked almost side by side
without an inkling of their new re-
lationship leaking out to their CO.
workers. When the bride an
nounced her resignation az of
September /. it was like throwing
a bombshell into the Southern
offices. it was said.
Pinkstaff and Miss Battle have
been keeping steady company for
some time, 1t was stated, but no
one in the office had an idea the
romance had eliminated months
ago.
Three days ago, when the an.
nouncement was made, Pinkstaff

Assistant Attorney General Robert

his property would work great
financial harm to him.
Cites Crossing Danger
Archer opened his address to the

dangerous in Maryland. Engineer

The Lillard property consists of
an office building and restaurant.
According to the plans of the State,
Archer said, the landscape after
the bridge is constructed would
leave the restaurant in a good po-
sition on a corner, whereas it now
stands in the middle of block.
The office building, he said, must
be moved back 20 feet.
Lillard, in reply, declared that the,
people, not only of Hyattsville but
of Maryland, were interested in the
elimination of the grade crossing,
and he should not be asked to bear
the greater part of the burden.

He said that If his office building
were moved back 90 feet NO one
could see It, As for the restaurant,

Of these. while others were equally

There is every indication as the
city approaches the last three weeks
of 1927 that the Christmas trade
will be better than that registered
last year, in which case. as pre-.
ceding months have been average,
the year should close with the
total volume of business a little
above the past average, which. of
course, means that the city Is pro.
