Mass Meeting Endorses Plan to Pay
Operating Expenses.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, March ga
mass meeting of citizens, mostly rep
resentatives of the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce and Civic Fed
Grafton and the Arlington District
Council of Citizens Associations, at
the James Monroe Schoolhouse last
night Endorsed resolution favoring
enactment by the General Assembly
of a bAl empowering the County
School Board to borrow $4,000 for
operating expenses for the calendar
year" The resolution was presented
by C.. r.. Taylor of Clarendon.
The meeting was called at the re-
quest of the School Board for the
purpose of obtaining the sense of the
voters relative to a school deficit of
$685. 900. disclosed by a report on a
survey of the county school situation.
OF the amount. permission to Dor,
row which Is to be asked $45, 900
is required for operation of the schools
during May and June, the closing
months of the 1926-27 school year,
and S40,0 needed during September
and October. the opening months of
the 1929 year.
100000 Is Sought.
The survey report recommended
that authority be asked of the Legis-
lature for the board to borrow $780,
900, to not only provide for needed
operating expenses, but to clear some
of the school indebtedness.
It was the consensus. however, that
the School Board should borrow only
what 1t needs for operating expenses
and that the Board of Supervisors, in
laying the next levy, which they
will do April 8, should make provision
for proper curtailments of the indebt-
edness.
The deficit occurred, according to
the survey report. principally on
account of the board exceeding the
bond issue in carrying out the school
building program. Unexpected in
ereases in school population, cost of
materials. labor and sites were held
responsible.
Better Coordination Favored.
While no grave criticism was di-
rected at the board for allowing the
deficit to occur, the meeting went on
record as favoring the school board
"co-ordinating its budget with antici-
pated revenues"
Following the adoption of this, Mr..
Kemp told the meeting that he had no
apologies to make for conduct of the
schools since he took charge as super
intendent in 1916. He said the people
have wanted the best in the way of
education for their children. and he
has made every effort to give them
just that. Records on file in his office,
he said, viii show that. every cent
since 1915 has been properly spent
and the most obtained for the dollar
He said that comparisons with Wash
ington would show that cubic feet
construction cost of schools has been
lower in Arlington County, even
though both places have the same
market for materials and labor.

TAFT FINDS COURTS
ARE SPEEDING UP
Progress Has Been Made
: With U. S. Dockets, He
Says at Conference.

Marked success has attended efforts
OF the Federal courts OF the country
TO catch UP with the business before
them, Chief Justice Taft declared last
night at the conclusion of the confer
ence of senior circuit judges over
which he presided. Conditions are
much more satisfactory than a year
ago, he said basng his view on care
full study of court conditions by the
conference during it's three-day ses-
sion.
Particular attention was given by
the conference to the progress which
has been made in clearing up criminal
cases, especially those arising from
violations of the prohibition law. II
was said that such cases are no longer
piling up, but are being promptly dis
posed of without interfering with the
disposition of civil cases.
During the year, it was reported.
there was a reduction of 8, 500 in the
number of criminei cases pending in
the district courts and the number of
civil suits pending was reduced by
1000. The number of criminal cases
before the district courts in 1925 was
3ss5S, while ia 1927 the total was
OHiN O0,OoN. 4 mere were lS,t15 CIV II
cases in 1925, but this volume of busi
ness, including the cases filed during
the year, has been reduced to 16,443
in 1927.
A still further improvement the
conference held, would follow more
rigid dismissal of dead cases on the
Federal court dockets.
The courts as now organized in
the United States" declared the con-
ference report, ''are able, We think
to take care of the business as it
comes. if they are given the additional
judges in the southern and eastern
districts of New York and the south
ern district of Iowa.
Recommendation made last year
fer these new judges were renewed by
the conference, and new recon-
mendation was made for an additional
circuit judge for the sixth district.

CITIZENS OPPOSE
Z0NING LAW CHANGE
Conduit Road Group Holds Com
munity House Permit Would
Defeat Plans.

Strong opposition to a change in
coming regulations to permit the erec-
ton of community houses in re-
stricted areas, particularly in sub
urban sections, was expressed In a
resolution adopted by the Conduit
Road Citizens Association at its first
Fall meeting in the Potomac Heights
Community Church last night.
Such a change in the coming regula-
lions, it was stated. would defeat the
very purpose of the restricted area
regulations for which many of the
associations have fought.
A resolution also was adopted to re-
quest the authorities to erect an ade-
auate armory for the, District National
Guard and the reserve officers of the
District. The latter resolution was in
treduced by William A. Roberts.
The committee on streets and high

MOSCOW, June 23.-The trial of
M. Kowceda, murderer of Peter Vol
koff, Soviet Minister to Poland, was
conducted in a partial manner, ac-
cording to M. Rosenholz, who has re-
turned from Warsaw where he had
been sent to represent the Soviet
Union at the Kowceda trial.
The court did everything to con-
ceal the source of the funds with
which Kowceda purchased the revolt
yer with which he killed M. Voikoff
and did all it could to shield the &C
completes who aided Kowceda in his
crime.
Judge Encouraged Attacks.
The attorneys speech, according to
M. Rosenholz, was a defence and a
moral justification of the murder, the
solicitor making a series of violent
attacks on the Soviet Union, while the
presiding Judge permitted and en-
outraged his attacks.
The verdict was the most lenient
which the extraordinary Court could
possibly inflict. The whole trial is re-
garded by M. Rosenholz as a stimulus
to further terrorist activities of mon
archist organizations which are

Of relative who is in the fur bust

1412 Charlotte St., Bronx, was sent
to the workhouse for two days by
Magistrate Rosenbluth in Jefferson
Market Court yesterday.
Jacob Mandelbaum of 1 Madison
Ave, who is attorney for the Joint
Board Furriers' Union, is planning to
submit to Police Commissioner War
rem today a transcript Of the court
minutes in this case, for it shows
that officer 1888 of Simpson st.
station acknowledged that he was not
assigned to duty in the fur market,
and stated on the stand that Miss
Epstein had not committed any
breach Of the peace.
Spoke to Scab.
AS stated by the unions attorney
in court, Miss Epstein spoke to a
scab who was walking with the Of
ficer, who was in plain clothes. The
officer then threatened to "break her
head" if the girl did not leave the
block; whereupon Herbert Schneider,
a member of the unions law commit
tee, went over to a uniformed Off
Ger and asked whether he knew this
man who had made the threat.
''Is he detective, or member Of
the force?" Schneider asked. And the
officer said no, he was sure the man
was not a detective. So Schneider
called Ray Epstein from the next
block and asked the policeman to
place the man under arrest for
threatening violence.
Arrests Girl.
Officer 1888 then showed his
badge and announced that since
Schneider made such a fuss about
the matter he would have the girl ar
rested, and he carried out his threat
in spite of Schneider's protests. He
showed no intention of making an
arrest until the union members ac-
cused him. On his complaint, and in
the face of the statements he made
on cross examination, Magistrate Ros-
enbluth gave a two day sentence.

THE Boston Post is one of the most

indictment of the Communist regime
in that country is chiefly predicated
on the alleged low ethical level Of the
