To GET

The vexing problem of relocating
the Farmers Produce Market,
which already has agitated many
different branches OF the Govern
ment, must now be fought out on
the floor of the House, as a result
of the District Committees favor
able report on the Stalker bill, to
locate the market in Southwest
Washington.
The question split wide open the
parks and Fairgrounds subcommittee
of the District Committee, which
held public hearings on the BILL
divided the District Committee itself
into opposing factions, and now
promises to break all party lines in
the House.
Members of the District Committee
have announced that they will present
to the House two different minority
reports in opposition to the COM
mittee report to be laid by Repre-
sentative Albert r. Hall of Indiana.
Representative Florian Lampert of
Wisconsin, one of the leading men,
bers of the House progressive bloc,
will offer a minority report support
ing the lexington location. There
are many members of the House who
would be in favor of this Site
Representative Ernest w. Gibson
Of Vermont, chairman of the sub
committee which studied the prob
lem, will offer another minority re-
port, recommending location of the
market on New York Avenue North
east, near the Columbia Institution
for the Deaf. where he says 25
acres of ground can be purchased for
about 5000, 900.

wITHERsPOON STATUE

The only clergyman among the
singers of the Declaration of indie
pendence is represented among the
statues with which Washington is
so generously endowed.
The minister in question was
John Witherspoon, a Scottish.Amer-
lean Presbyterian minister and once
president of Princeton University.
The statue was presented in 1909
by the Witherspoon Memorial
Association. William Copper was
the sculptor.
The statue stands in the north
triangle where Connecticut Avenue
intersects Eighteenth Street, be.
tween NJ and N Streets. A statue
of Henry w. Longfellow is In the
south triangle. 1t also was made
by Copper.
Witherspoon's statue bears the
following quotation from one of his
historic addresses:
For my own part, of property !
have some, of reputation more.
That reputation is staked, that
property is pledged on the issue of
this contest; and although these
gray hairs must soon descend into
the sepulchre. / would infinitely
rather that they descend thither
by the hand Of the executioner than
desert at this crisis the sacred
cause of my country"

COMM TEEO.K.
ON BOND BILL

The Gilbert bill, to regulate the
business of executing bonds in crlnr
inaI cases in the District. was favor.
ably reported to the House District
committee today by the judiciary
subcommittee.
The subcommittee also held a pub.
lie hearing today on the Gibson bill
to stop the operation Of diploma
mills in the District. Charles E
Carusi, president of the Board OF
Education, testified that the bill lis
aimed at a band of criminals who
are operating on scale so extern
sive that they are bringing not only
the District OF Columbia but the
whole country into disrepute."
This band, Carusi sa;d, sis taking
ADVANTAGE of the lax incorporation
laws here to sell degrees based on
no educational work whatsoever.
He said that these people are not
only selling degrees but have sold
hundreds OF charters to residents
Of the States who use them to oper-
ate fraudulently.
Joseph s. Wall. representing the
Medical Society of. the District of
Columbia, testified that a man came
mere last year LroIn bdILiHoLe dhu'
in three days, granted so degrees
in the various healing arts. These
graduates" are now practicing
here, he said.
The only opposition to the bill
was offered by Madame Marie Won
UnschuId, representing a local
music school, who protested the
jurisdiction given by the bill to the.
Board of Education, which she said
is not qualified to Judge the merits
of music schools.

PEPCO REFUNDS.
IN DISPUTE

More than 1000 applications for
refunds from the Potomac Electric
Power company are iii controversy.
1t was learned today, and legal pro-
ceedings may be necessary To deter
mine who will receive the com
pany's check.
The power company admits the
money Is available. is eager To wipe
out the obligation, but In more than
ID claiming the refund In many
cases 1t involves business houses
where the business changed hands
in others, 1t affects other types Of
property that has changed hands.
The company is mailing about 800
checks daily. and is making every
effort to clean up the list as rapidly
as possible.
january IS ended the three-year
period in which refunds could be
asked. There remain $346, 000 which
has not been refunded. More than
2I ,00O persons who were entitled 10
the refund failed to make appIica-
tion for it. Most Of them would
have received only small checks.
Through the efforts of the Public
Utilities Commissions. consumers en- "
titled TO the refund were paid more
than 10000 between August 1 last
and January rs.
The balance Of the refund. after
all applications are cared for will
revert to the power company and be
absorbed over a period Of 20 years.
It is believed the amount to be
credited to net income as d result
OF this order OF the court win
amount to about $4,000 annually.

rum 'S|NE[LED'
At Ii PARAD|S

The right of the Government to
introduce evidence obtained after
the alleged violation In the case Of
the LIE Paradis suit, was sustained
today by Justice Hatfield. who per-
mitted w. b. Mulhall, Federal pro-
kibition agent to testify, over the
protest of counsel for Myer Davis,
owner of the night club.
The Government complained OF
conditions as of the night OF De-
cember 1S, 1926. 1t then sought to
elicit from MulhalI that these same
conditions continued until the night
of April s., 1927. which Mulhall and
other agents made tour of in
spection.
Mulhail testified that he was
familiar with the smell of liquor
and smeiled it there on April g.:
that he saw at least two surrepti-
tious "pourings, and he described
two couples dancing that would
attract anybody's attention"
Justice Hatfield, however, had
this remark stricken from the
record, on the ground that Null
halls idea of attraction might
differ from another persons.

COST
PUT ON D. c.

The District of Columbia's air.
port plans were struck a body blow
today by Gen. Herbert M. Lord,
director of the Bureau of the
Budget, who officially notified the
District Commissioner that il they
insist on an airport here, 1t will
have to be financed out of the
Districts general revenues.
A bill prepared by the Commits.
sioners and providing for an air
port to cost at least $780, 900, to
be paid for on a basis Of SO per
cent by the District government
and 40 per cent by the Federal
Government, had been sent to Gem
eral Lord for his approval.
To approve Of such a method OF
financing the airport, General Lord
wrote, would be contrary to Presi-
dent Coolidge's economy program.
The Commissioners. while feeling
keenly the ruling of the budget
head, will send their measure to
Congress with the 60.40 provision
and attach the communication Of
General Lord .
1t is felt by the Commissioners
that the establishment Of an ade-
quate airport here is virtually man
datory. They have pledged to the
Postoffice Department that facilities
would be provided for airnaiI serv-
ice and on this basis the War De-
partment gave permission for the
temporary use OF Boiling Field.
If Congress follows the ruling of
General Lord, it viii mean that
the only contribution to the airport
by the Federal Government will be
small portion of the lump sum
of 100000 which is contributed
to the support Of the District OF
Columbia.
The Commissioners still hold that
Gravely. Point on the Potomac, be-
low the Highway Bridge, is the
logical location for the airport.

80 PARACHUTES
LOST IN FIRE

Boiling Field for the second time
in month and the third time in
two years suffered heavy fire loss
last night when the operations
building and a hangar used for
storage of so parachutes were de-
stroyed. Thirty parachutes went
up in flames.
No estimate has been made of the
financial loss from the destruction
of the two buildings, but Major HI.
G. Davidson, the new commandant
Of the Army's flying field, valued
the lost equipment at about IS 600.
The operations building, headquar-
ters for arriving and departing
aviators was the first to catch fire,
and, with the high wind blowing,
quickly spread to the hangar. The
fire started in the heating APP
paratus from some yet undiscovered
cause. Much of the property that
was stored in the hangar was that
saved from the $500.00O fire in the
quartermaster's building just a
month ago.
City Apparatus Called
The combined fire.fighting forces
of the Naval Air Station acress the
flying field. and that of the Army
station, fought the flames with the
aid OF city apparatus which came
on two alarms which had to be
turned in.
Private John r. Doyle, on sentry
duty, discovered the fire and fired
three shots in the air, and an
alarm was turned in at the guard
house. Meanwhile. Private Reginald
Logan. operating the switchboard in
the operations building. turned in
another. He stayed at his post
answering and sending telephone
calls until the heat drove him out
Of the burning building.
Before the flames had made much
Roadway. soldiers and firefighters
had succeeded in saving all of the
valuable flight records in the
operations building and much of the
office furniture.
