lision which sank the submarine SD

the closing session of the naval court
of inquiry investigating the disaster.
In his address to the court when the
taking of testimony had been completed
Lieut. Comdr Thomas j. Doyle. APP
nearing for the S-4 victims, said that
The change OF course Of the destroyer
near the white buoys marking the Navy
trial course off Provincetown had made
il impossible tor the submarine TO avoid
a collision.
Charge Is Denied.
Comdr. Leroy Reinburg OF the Coast
Guard Service. appearing for Lieut.
Comdr John s. Bayiss. commander of
the Paulding and the only defendant
before the court, Indignantly denied the
allegation
This deplorable accident was not our
fault" ne said in brief address We
felt at the time that We had collided
with our best friend in the country
The incident cropped up suddenly and
caused considerable sensation in the
courtroom The Judge advocate, Comdr
Leslie e Bratton. had closed his case
and waived his closing address Comdr
Peinburg said he had no remarks tn
make. but Lieut.. Comdr DOYLE pro-
duced a written statement and asked
leave to present 1t.
Charges Bias TO Witnesses.
After paying tribute to the courage
and caution OF the submarine per-
sonnet he said that most OF the direot

1t appear that the S-4 had not seen
the destroyer until she had come to
the surface. when 1t was too late 10

CHEVY CHASE GETS
PORTABLE SCHOOLS
Citizens Obtain Two Build
ings to Relieve Con-
qested Condition.

After six months endeavor to obtain
improved school facilities for It's COM
munity. the new school committee Of
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association
today saw the first substantial reward
for its efforts when two new portable
school buildings we're opened for classes
at Thirty-ti1ird and Oliver streets.
Situated on a tract of six and one
half acres. which the new school COM
mittee succeeded in getting the Dis
trict to purchase for school purposes
when the neIghborhood rapidly was
being built up. the two portables, mark
ing the elimination Of a campaign
launched last october, will relieve some
of the congestion in the e. v. Brown
School. The classes housed in the port
ables are the first and second grades
and the rooms formerly occupied by
them in the Brown building now are
available for upper classes.
A ioint committee Is arranging for
a festival on June In which the en-
tire community will participate. The
District Commissioners, school officials
and others will be invited. Arrange
ments are being made for parade OF
decorated automobiles. band concert,
Boy Scout demonstrations and similar
events.
The z. v. Brown School, with a
capacity for about TOO pupils, has ex-
panded until its classes total l,035
children.
To meet the rapidly growing demands
OF the community, classes we're made
twice their usual size and then the
problem of getting a sufficient number
of teachers became acute. So the ctti-
zenS got busy and tackled the situation
for themselves. Three portable schools
on Grant road have relieved the situa-
ton In Chevy Chase, but still the de-
mand for additional space was urgent.
Miss M E. Given is the principal In
charge Of the school.
Realizing the possibilities of the six
and-a-half- tract at Thirty-third
and Oliver streets, the new school COM
mittee. headed by j. Francis Moore,
started the movement for its acquisi-
ton In addition TO Mr.. Moore. the
other members of the school committee

Special Dispatch to The star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, April 24.--Dr. p. M
Chichester. Arlington County health
officer. resumed the stand here this
morning in the annexation suit OF
Alexandria.
Dr. Chichester told the court that
should Alexandria win It's annexation
fight to acquire part OF Arlington and
Fairfax counties, the entire COM
munity adjacent to the annexed terri
tory would be affected by the removal
of the Jefferson District Health Center
whta1h is located at Potomac. from the
Jurisdiction of his department.
1t was stated in the direct testimony
Of DR.. Chichester that the removal OF
the Jefferson District center would
necessitate the building OF another
center by the county or the persons in
the territory now served would be forced
to go without service or else go into
Washington.
Sees Financial Loss.
He further stated that the Arlington
Health Department would suffer finan-
cially from the loss of revenue that the
county now derives from the territory
Alexandria hopes to acquire.
Questioned by John S. Barbour. Ar
lington County counsel, as to the deaths
from communicable diseases in the
Jefferson District during the period
from 1921 to 1927 inclusive. Dr.
Chichester stated that only two deaths
from diphtheria and one from whooping
cough had resulted during that period
There were no deaths from typhoid
fever or scarlet fever, he said.
A total $40. 0.36732 was expended for
Scavenger service In Arlington County
during 1927, said statistics.
What was the condition Of the sew
age from Mount Ida when you last ex-
amined it," Barbour asked the health
officer.
Holds Condition Good.
There was no raw sewage and only
clear water flowing from Mount Ida at
the time" he replied.
The question was so directed as to
break down the testimony Of Mayor
William Kleysteuber of Potomac. who
testified yesterday that raw sewage
flowed from Mount Ida. causing an un-
healthy condition in Potomac only q
half block from two public schools.
DR.. Chichester further replied to ques-
tions Of Barbour that the general health
OF Jefferson district compared favorably
with that OF the other communities Of
Virginia which are similarly situated.
He said that II rates on a par with the
other communities OF Arlington County.
