signed to q single frequency, 1,712 kilo-
cycles which has been reserved for this
particular type of work. Since the
power outputs Of the stations are low,
It Is assumed that there will be little
interference on the channel.
Details of the new services planned
by Philadelphia, Cleveland and Miami,
as well as Cincinnati, which recently
was granted the authority, are not
known by the commission. The police
departments of these cities merely filed
their applications, and, as they con-
formed with the engineering requisites,
they were granted without question.
Generally, however, it is believed that
they follow closely the Chicago system,
although perhaps not so elaborate and
far-reaching.
The Chicago system will be operated
from three central radio broadcasting
stations, each using 500 watts power.
The system, although a radio broad
casting service, In the sense that the
transmission will be by voice instead of
code, viii be on short waves, as will the
other services, and thus outside the
range of reception of the broadcast re-
ceiving set. Specially constructed short
wave receivers must be used.

autos and so precinct stations are being
equipped for the radio network, while
next year 100 more automobiles will be
placed in operation.
The applications Of the Philadelphia
and Cleveland services merely stated
that contact with portable" receiving
sets would be maintained. That means

JOIN IN PROTEST.
Mount Rainier Mayor and Council Add
Voices Against Roadhouse.

By Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
MOUNT RAINIER, Md, June a.
Joining the citizens association of their
community, which last week protested
against the further licensing of the
Prince Georges Inn, formerly the Rams
Horn Inn, scene of the shooting of VIII
liam Dietz, 35, on May rs, the mayor
and council of Mount Rainier last night
requested the Prince Georges County
Commissioners to refuse to grant the
establishment a license.
The action was taken through the
passage of a resolution offered by Coun-
Gilman Floyd B. Matthias, which de-
clares the further operation of the inn
to be "prejudicial to the best interests
of the town of Mount Rainier"
In another resolution, the mayor was
authorized to appoint at later date a
committee to urge the extension and
completion Of Eastern avenue from
Bladensburg road to the Queen Chapel
road as a matter of necessity in view
Of the growth Of the town. Eastern
avenue is one of the enw town bound
aries under the amended charter pass
ed by the last session of the Legisla-
ture. Its extension to Bladensburg road
will involve the construction of bridge
over the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
tracks.
Agreeing that their town bailiffs were
handicapped by wearing civilian clothes
while using the towns newly acquired
motor cycle in the pursuit of speedsters,
the council voted to purchase Eugene
Plummer, chief of police, uniform and
cap.
On recommendation of the police
committee, headed by Rev. David I.aing,
the council appointed the following
town policemen: Guy Morgan, John G.
Harrison, Leroy C.. Schnopp Floyd j.
Mutchler, F. E. Mclaughlin, F. E. Drae-
ley, Henry Cleveland and j. Murdoch.

Maryland Sheriff Makes 45O-Mile
Trip to Find Prisoner Released

When the deputy sheriff arrived at
the Seashore resort Sunday morning,
however, he was told Ellis had been re-
leased on bond about an hour before.
The bond. it was explained. was for the
mans appearance before Justice Of the
Peace H. w. Gore, at Marlboro, but no
particular date was set, as far as the
Maryland police could learn.
How the Virginia authorities figured
they could take bond for a mans ap-
pearance in Maryland, as the former
State would receive the money and the
latter, the one in which the alleged
offense was committed, be left holding
the bag" should the man forfeit his
bond, has got both Sheriff Early and
States Attorney j. Frank Parran wag-
ging their heads in wonder.
