DR.. Brown declared that the machine

who vote for the Democratic nominee
will be voting. not for Pollard and

ARGUMENTS HEARD.
Demurrer of State Board
Against Injunction Petition
Taken Under Amusement.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, November q
Arguments of counsel on the demurrer
of the State Roads Commission to the
Moore and eight other we'll known resi-
dents Of Kensington to restrain the
commission from constructing bridge
over the Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad
tracks at Lincoln avenue, KenSington,
to replace the dangerous grade cross
ing several blocks away, were heard by
Judge Robert B. Peter in the Circuit
Court here yesterday.
The petition was filed several weeks
ago numerous reasons being assigned
why an injunction should be granted,
and the demurrer is denial of viz
tually all of the many allegations.
Plaintiffs in Case.
Besides former Mayor Moore, the
plaintiffs are William A. Chapman.
Harry NJ. Corrick, c. NJ. Dyson, John
A. Feeney, Joseph C. Murray. Charles
D. Phillips, Frank S. Shipley and Frank
p. Welsh.
Arguments were submitted by former
States Attorney Joseph c. CiSsel and
Assistant Attorney General Robert H.
Archer. representing the commission
and Miss Vivian Simpson. Rockville's
only woman lawyer, and John E. Oxley
on behalf of the petitioners.
The principal contention of counsel
for the plaintiffs was that the commits
sion was guilty of exercising arbitrary
discretion in not giving proper notice
OF hearing on the proposition to con-
struct the overhead, namely, by pub
LEGATION in a newspaper published in
the county: in failing to submit plans
of the proposed structure to the county
commissioners. in not advertising for
bids the required number of times and
in seeking to take property without due
process of law.
The arguments were directed largely
at the point regarding the notice, Judge
Peter having indicated early in the
proceedings that to be the only ques-
ton raised about which there would be
any difficulty deciding.
Hearings Held.
Counsel for the commission held
that even though the statute as to
notice had not been strictly complied
with, so far as technicalities we're con-
cerned, hearings were held and the
commission placed in possession Of the
same evidence as would have been
forthcoming had the exact language
of the statute been followed.
It was further held that publication
as news in papers circulating in the
neighborhood of the proposed bridge
that hearings would be held was COM
pliance with the law as to notice.
Judge Peter took the case under ad-
visement and is expected to render a
decision at an early date.

resigned at the Roanoke convention,
last night issued a statement asserting
he was the man who issued the DE

exchange of letters by State Republican
and Democratic party leaders.
Il am the Democrat who has been
circulating the so-called De Priest
pamphlets over which the Republican
machine boss, Mr.. Henry w. Ander-

NEW SCHOOL HEAD
ASSUMES DUTIES
Clarence H. Strader of Alexandria
Succeeds W. H. Thomas as Prin-
ciral at Potomac.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
POTOMAC. Va, November 2-Clar-
ence H. Strader. principal Of the Jeffer-
son Elementary School in Alexandria
for the past four years. assumed his
new duties here yesterday as principal
OF the George Mason High School and
Mount Vernon Elementary School.
Strader succeeds w. H. Thomas. who
resigned to accept a position as super
intendent OF public schools in Fauquier
County. Va. Thomas had been a mem
Der of the George Mason faculty for
five years and principal of the two
local schools for three years.
The new head, a graduate of the
University of Virginia and a teacher in
Giles County and Newport News High
Schools for a few years before going to
Alexandria, was named by the Arlington
County School Board after a confer
ence with Alexandria school officials, it
is believed.
Alexandria will gain Potomac through
annexation proceedings on January
and it is known that the county school
heads were anxious to please Alexan-
dria in its selection of new principal
so there would be no occasion for a
change when the city takes over this
town at the beginning of the new year.
A. G. Cummings of Lexington, Va,
will succeed Strader as principal of
the Jefferson School in Alexandria.
