EVANSVILLE, Md, August 16.-A
hilarious party In barbecue stand on
Bladensburg road, at Cottage City, sent
five Washington boys and girls to Police
Court yesterday, and Judge J. Chew
Sheriff fined all on charges Of disorder
ly conduct. The fines ranged from S. to
$25.
The quintet were arrested by County
Policeman Reese after complaints from
several sources of the noise. One of the
boys was SO unruly, the police say. an
officer had to put handouts on him,
while the entire party, which included
two young girls. were locked in the
BladenSburg Jail from the time of their
arrest, about ! am, until the hour of
trial.
All pleaded guilty upon arraignment
and were severely lectured by the court
for their misconduct. Those convicted,
and their fines. were:
Miss Anna May Fitzgerald. 5000 block
OF Twenty-second street northeast. S.
Bertram Clayton, 5000 block Twenty
second street northeast. $40: Cecil Hayes.
5000 block Twenty-second street north
east, $25; Ernest Reed, $500 block
Twenty-four street northeast, $40, and

Capitol Heights was given a suspended
sentence Of 80 days in Jail. She was
fined last week, and, according to the
testimony, used abusive language toward
Mrs. Mealia Fochett while returning

Fochett to obtain a second warrant for
Mrs. Carroll.
Jack Brooks, Capitol Heights, said he
was only examining potato bugs in his
back yard, but Mrs Alfred F. Harmer,
his next-door neighbor, thought he was
''snooping"at her and upbraided him for
1t. Brooks had the woman arrested for

care of the service in the existing In

In accordance with q comprehensive
plan which will also take into con-

the District Commissioners, the Mary
land National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the county and
municipal authorities, are now CO.
operating.
IF the solution suggested by the rail-
road can be worked out the present liti-

ner as to protect the interests Of all
concerned.
"Under these circumstances. have
been glad to agree to continuance OF
the pending case for period not to
exceed As days, during which time the
railroad expects to be able to acquire
the additional ground necessary for the
expansion Of its facilities"

Trustees Seek Site to Make
Room for Rockville
Law Building.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, August 16.-In
contemplation of selling the present
church property to the county commits
sioners to make room for the proposed
new Rockville Courthouse, the trustees
of the Rockville Presbyterian Church
have named committee, consisting Of
Joseph Reading, chairman; Mrs. Almus
r. Speare and William S. Joliffe, to

committees, Rev. Henry K. PaSma,
pastor of the church, stated today, a
meeting of the congregation will be
called to hear their reports with view
to fixing a price the commissioners will
be asked for the church property.
Plans already prepared for considera-
ton of the congregation call for an esti-
mated outlay considerably in excess OF
the amount offered by the commits

siderably modified or new ones adopted
so as to make possible substantial re-

justment are said to be good, 1t Is

robbery of five business houses in the

Those under arrest, all minors, are
Milton Rothery, Waverly Hills, Va;
Alton Parker Riddle, Waycroft, Va,
and Harry Smallwood and Walter Her
riety, both of Ballston, Va. All were
arraigned before Police Judge Harry II.
Thomas in Police Court this morning
and waived preliminary hearings. Roth

said the conference would be asked to
consider. A. J. Dunning. jr., Of Nor
folk was also authority for the state
ment that the conference would in all
probability be asked to consider asking
for the resignation of John j. RaskoD
as chairman of the Democratic national
committee.
In the event that the conference de-
cided on an independent ticket 1t was
expected that formal call for con-
vention would be issued. This conVen-
ton would function in much the same
way as the Republican State conven-
ton.
Should the ant-Smith group decide
to enter into the Democratic primary,
it was backed by an opinion by Attor-
ney General John r. Saunders that
such voters were eligible to participate
under the Virginia primary laws mas
much as the presidential electors they
refused to support last year were chosen
by convention and not by direct prl-
mary.
The committee OF u persons calling
the conference today met in executive
session at o'clock last night and con-
tinued in session until after midnight.
No statement was issued at the concllt-
sion. J. Sidney Peters. who aided IN
managing the State headquarters IN
Richmond last year, refusing to make
their deliberations public.
