Definite zON|NG
POLICY ANNOUNCED
Arlington County Committee
Offered Services of
Engineer.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.


CLARENDON, Va, March 2o.-A def
mite policy with regard to coming, with
the possibility that they may recon-
mend for the employment by the zon-
ing commission of an expert with whom
they have been in communication, was
announced last night following meet
ing of the coming committee OF the
Arlington County Chamber OF Com
merce.
The committee has the offer of the
services of a coming engineer who is en-
tirely familiar with the problems to be
met in the coming of locality OF this
type, it was said by Ashton c. Jones,
chairman. and they will report fully to
the meeting of the board of directors OF
the chamber ct the regular weekly meet
ing tomorrow afternoon.
Nine Months for Work.
After talking with Irving c. Root,
chief engineer, and Warren Adams as
sistant engineer of the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, both of whom attended last
nights meeting. it was decided by the
committee that the county can be Zoned
in nine months and the ordinance adj
ministered for another IL months at a
total cost of $4,000.
The coming committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce is acting in a purely
advisory capacity in the consideration
of an engineer and the other problems
to be met in the coming of the county,
but feels that its wishes will be given
careful consideration by the Zoning
Commission and board of county su-
perviSorS because of the fact that the
trade body is raising half of the funds
with which to pay the expenses OF zon-
ing.
zoning Root told the commission.
should be left as nearly as possible to
the people themselves. If enough peo-
ole living in a section zoned residential
petition to become commercial and
public hearing bears out their conten-
ftion then the area should become COM
mercial. Zoning, ne said. is based upon
the economic value of land and If lot
becomes more valuable for commercial
purposes without injuring the majority
of the adjacent property holders there
should be no hesitation in making 1t
= commercial. The general tendency In
most places, however, is to zone too
much property commercial. But half
Of per cent is necessary for stores, he
declared.
Preliminary Maps.
It is probable that most of the pre-
liminary maps prepared in the office
of the county engineer will represent
wasted effort, Root told the committee,
since only man familiar with coming
can make work map of that character.
Root said that a coming engineermust
be / diplomat as we'll as engineer, so
that he can calmly handle the many
protests that are certain to arise from
coming. He must be able to work eff
fciently, even under fire. Root holds
that the employment of an expensive
Eoning engineer is waste of money
and that his services, because of his ex-
perience in much larger communities,
may not prove satisfactory in the zon-
ing of Arlington County, the smallest
county in the United States.

WILKES MAN ILLS
WIFE, THF' SELF
Double Tragedy ted Near the
Watauga Line ,ah Church The
Principal in nation of Family
Troubles.

Noah Church, 35 year-old resident
of the Yellow Hill section of Wilkes
county, near the Watauga line, killed
his wife Monday night about eight
O'Clock and within a space of seconds
took his own life, according to re-
ports reaching Boone Tuesday after
noon.
The double tragedy is said to have
been the outcome of marital trouble,
the couple having been separated for
about two years. During this period
Church is alleged to have threatened
his wife, following her refusal to
live with him. He was last seen
about thirty minutes before the
shooting when he was attempting to
borrow a weapon, and was thought
to have been sober at the time. His
brother is said to have loaned him a
20-gauge shotgun from which the
fatal shots were fired.
There were no eye witnesses to
the tragedy, he having accosted his
wife in the road, shot her in the
back and a second time in the
mouth. His body was found a few
PAGES distant, the top Of his head
having been literally torn away by
the heavy load of shot. The bodies
were moved from the road Tuesday
after the arrival of the coroner from
North Wilkesboro, and funeral serv-
ices were held yesterday. Two chill
dren survive.

VESUVIUS LAVA GOES
ONWARD TO POMPEM

Naples, June 4.-Two walls of
molten lava six feet high tonight
streamed from Vesuvius toward it's
ancient prey Pompeii, destroying
woods and vineyards and threatening
several towns.
The inhabitants had evacuated
Barre and part of Terzigno and fled
panic stricken burdened by their
household and personal effects to
the Gulf of Naples. The glowing IL
quid rock tonight was only a few
wards from the abandone dhomes in
Barre and destruction of the village
seemed inevitable within few
hours.
The eruption began yesterday.
Predictions of experts that it would
gradually wear itself out without
causing serious damage were contra
dicted this morning by sudden
bursting forth of the molten mass
at the tremendous velocity Of ten
feet second. The eruptic cone was
broken and the smoking strea mpour-
ed through the valley of He'll" 1t
then divided into two branches, Ole
making directly for the gulf in the
direction of Boscotrecase and the
other bearing down on the towns
along the railroad skirting the east
ern base of the volcano.

NEGRO VOTE MAY FIGURE IN
HOUSE REINFORCEMENT

Washington, June after ten
tatively accepting amendments which
would exclude from the count upon
which house reapportionment is to
be based, aliens and persons over 21
years who are not permitted to vote,
the house adjourned late today with
out taking final vote on the CEN
sus reapportionment bill.
Both amendments were opposed
vigorously in debate and both are
subject to another vote in the house
before they are finally written into
the measure. The alien proposal
would affect the number of repre-
sentatives allotted to eastern and in
dustrial states and the second pro-
posal was considered as aimed at
southern states in which it has been
contended that many negroes are
not permitted to vote.
