MAKES RADIO PLEA
FOR D. c. AIRPORT
Speaker Wants Good Sense
and Experience Elsewhere
to Govern Location.

A plea for the exercise Of practical
good sense, guided by the experiences Of
ether cities, in locating the proposed
municipal airport for the National Cap
ital was made by Lawrence E. Williams,
chairman of the aviation committee Of
the Washington Board Of Trade. In a
radio address last night over Station
WMAL.
The field should be located as close
as possible to the heart Of the city, Mr..
Williams said, or the city will find that
its money has been wasted. He cited
the experiences Of Los Angeles and San
Francisco in this respect.
Los Angeles constructed Mines Field
as q municipal airport. Aeronautically
1t Is a perfect airport, he said, and Is
equipped to handle the heaviest trafnc.
It is too far out from the center OF the
city, however, and, although at least
IL air transport lines run INTO Los An
geles, not one of them uses Mines Field.
choosing Glendale, a far inferior f1eld,
because of its better location.
The San Francisco Municipal Air.
port, IA miles from the city, also Is
ignored by the air transport lines, which
are using fields at Oakland and Ala
media because they are closer to the
city. Mr.. Williams said.
Mr.. Williams denied that District
CLNlC Nu0 buoIAACo6 Ol6OAAADnIAOAAo OAS W.
blame for the lack of field for this city
because of their inability to agree upon
site. The fault, he said, Is with the
form of government of the District of
Columbia, which prevents District citi-
zens going ahead with projects for
which they may be willing to pay with
out sanction of Congress.
Mr.. Williams expressed emphatic op-
position to establishment of an airport
in Maryland or Virginia II District tax
payers are to pay for It's construction or
maintenance. II the Federal Govern
ment chooses to establish an airport
outside the District of Columbia, he
said, it should oe financed and main
tanned as Federal project.
The Board Of Trade, he said. has ap-
proved construction of an airport on
the Gravelly Point site, because 1t
would be located within the District
OF Columbia, would combine seaplane
and landplane facilities, would be close
to the heart Of the city and because
1t could be depended upon to become a
paying investment.
He quoted figures of airplane arrivals
! and departures at various large air
ports, ranging up to TOO per week at
San Francisco, and declared that the
National Capital will have q consider
able amount of air trafic II airport
| facilities are provided. Several lines,
he said, want to come into Washington
| and are holding back only because Of
the lack OF proper facilities.

ID. c. POLICE COURT
FINES INCREASE
Report Reveals Nearly a Half
Million Dollars Received
in 1929.

Police Court fines and collateral for
FIXTURES for the IL months of 1926
total close to a half million dollars, ac-
cording to A. j. Sanford, financial clerk
of the court. This represents a much
larger figure than any IL months in
the history of the court, and approxi-
mately 100000 more than was taken
in during the first II months Of last
year.
Records show that $4e6,4I7.47 has
come into the Golfers Of the court since
January / and court attaches estimate
that the figure will reach $3.50. 900 be-
fore the end of the year. This will
be considerable increase over last
year, when $4S6,000 was taken in.
Operated at a Profit.
The Police Court of Washington is
one of few institutions of its kind in
the country and the only court in the
city that makes more than the cost
of operating. The court was allowed
$142, $50 for operating expenses during
1929. These figures show that approx
mately $400 900 will be cleared at the
court this year. Court authorities be-
Iieve that some of this money should
be used in securing q new home for
the court, as the present building is
most inadequate.
The Traffic Court is first in amount
of money taken in. records revealing
that $252 2,S0649 In penalties were paid
violations of the traffic code. The D.
C. branch of the court came next with
$15l ,040.25 This amount was almost
entirely paid by persons arrested for
intoxication. The United States branch,
where bootleggers are arraigned, took
in $92,56996. Most of this amount
was paid by violators Of the prohibi-
ton law.
July Fines Heaviest.
July has proved to be the most profit
able month Of the year as far as fines
are concerned, $65,610 was paid In this
month. The $4,000 increase over the
average month is attributed to the
heavy fines due to the police drive
against trafhc law violatorS. The
month showing the lowest figure was
February, when $4,000 was collected
by the financial office.
Records at Police Court show an in
teresting feature in that the number of
cases and the amount of money col.
lected in fines have increased as the
creased. The number of cases and the
amount Of the total fines have in
creased out Of all proportion to the in
crease in population of the city, In
1902 $4,000 In fines were paid to the
court in 10000 cases. In 1910, with a
slight increase in number Of motor
driven vehicles, $92.o 900 in fines was re-
ceived at court, while in 1920 the
amount more than tripled the above
when 1921 900 was taken In at court.
This latter figure has been doubled since
that time.

fourteenth semi-annual operate season
In the auditorium of the Boys School,
Eighth and N streets northwest, last
night, with the first performance OF
1.-The Diamonds. Of Abdullah." new
romantic musical comedy written by
the distinguished Washington composer,
Harry Wheaton Howard. A capacity
audience attended and showed warm
appreciation. Second and third per-
formances will be given tomorrow and
Friday nights, beginning at o'clock.
AS Is the case Of other operas written
BY Mr. Howard. this new work abounds
in catchy melodies and also has con-
siderable quantity Of clever comedy. OF
the more serious musical numbers,
Solitude" "A Nightingale Sings to Its
Mate" and Lazy Moon" are particu-
larly attractive with rich melody and
charming lyrics. In the lighter vein,
"a Camel Is q Mammal" and apollo
Oughter Worn Clothes" deserve spe:
The story of the opera concerns
chiefly the crafty plans OF; Bedoin
prince, played by William Stoddard. TO
ensnare Adrienne de Renard, the oeau-
tiful heroine, sung by Florence Mar
c1Ierite Yocuni, into his harem. 1t seems
that the heroine has been deserted In
Algiers by her husband, who was de-
tailed to London to sell the famous
Abdullah necklace. william Hannah,
in the role of the American consul
illustrates the desert sheik's plans and
all ends happily. Each of these roles
was admirably handled vocally ano
dramatically. Other principal roles
were well done by John Sherman. Fred
erick Nolan, George Neuman, Catherine
Ryan, Agnes Dowd and Eleanor Hop
kins.
The stage settings were effective and
quite pretentious for small stage. The
chorus of amusing tourists ana pretty
dancing girls add much attractive colol
to the whole.
