Horses Patience
In Crash Probably
Saves Life of Man
Milk Wagon Overturns.
Driver Pinned Beneath
Vehicle.
BY q star Correspondent of The Star.

AURORA HEIGHTS, Va, May g.
The patience acquired by many years
of experience in drawing milk wagon
by two horses of the Chevy Chase Dairy
probably saved the life of their driver
yesterday morning when the wagon
overturned at a corner here.
The driver, c. D. Conklyn, of Friend
ship Heights, Md, was in the wagon
when the horses cut the corner too
sharply, the wheels on one side going
down in a ditch. AS the wagon over
turned, Conklyn was pitched out and
was pinned beneath the vehicle.
Despite the suddenness with which
the accident occurred. the horses
stopped and stood perfectly still until
neighborS, hearing the crash of the
bottles, rushed to the rescue and lifted
the wagon from the driver.
Conklyn was taken to Georgetown
Hospital in Washington and found to
be suffering from numerous cuts from
broken glass and severe bruises OF both
legs. While painful, his condition is
not thought to be serious.

coming PLANS HIT
ANNEXATION SNAG
Status of Two Members of
Arlington Commission
in Doubt.
BY LESTER INSKEEP.
Staff Correspondent of The Star,

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, May ga Joint meeting
scheduled for tonight between the zon-
ing commission, board Of county super
VisorS and Allen J. Saville. newly APP
pointed Zoning engineer, for the pur-
pose of Immediately getting the coming
under way, may be somewhat disrupted
by the status Of two of the members
of the coming commission, who are resi-
dents OF the section awarded Friday to
Alexandria, it was said today.
Zoning, like many of the other i'm
portant projects under way or contem-
plated in the county, will be directly
affected by the annexation of four
square miles of Jefferson district by
Alexandria, more especially SO since the
case has been appealed by the county.
Two Members in Doubt.
The appeal leaves the status of Mai.
w. r. Richards and j. E. Spaulding,
members of the commission, matter
that must be settled before the commits
sion can properly function. 1t also
leaves a doubt in the minds of county
officials as to just what course to pur-
sue in regard TO the area in question.
If the board of supervisors decides
that the two commissioners are eligible
TO continue In their present capacity
then they must also consider the four
square miles of territory still in Airing
ton Country and proceed TO zone that
area the same way as any other in the
county, in the opinion of those who
have taken an active part in the case.
All of the maps of Jefferson district
that have been prepared for the coming
commission and coming engineer by c.
l.. Kinnier, county engineer, have in
cluded the part that has been sought
by Alexandria and which was awarded
to that city by the court. The attor-
neyS who were handling the case have
stated that plans for that section were
carried on without regard to the an
neXation case. as it was their honest
opinion that the court would award
but small part, or possibly none, of
the territory to Alexandria.
Problem Presented.
The present situation is one requir-
ing considerable thought before definite
action is taken. it is said, for If the
supervisors replace the two commits
sioners in question and abandon plans
to zone the area awarded to Alex
andria the decision may be taken as
meaning that the county Is resigned
to their fate" whereas Commemorative
Attorney William c. Cloth has an
nounced that the county will fight the
decision as long as there is any hope
to save the territory.
The coming of Arlington County has
been subjected from the first to series
of difficulties, all of which were thought
to have been solved by the raising of
the funds with which to do the work,
the reorganization of the coming COM
mission and the appointment of Sa-
vile. Tonight's meeting was arranged
before the decision of the court in the
annexation case and was expected 10
be devoted solely to the discussion of
coming.
