The comments of Justice Frederick
Siddons, trial Judge and Judge Peyton

Justice, having been forwarded yeSter-
day by present District Attorney Rover.
Several officials must review the ap-
peals and recommendations from the
court before the cases are transferred
to President Hoover at the White House.
The veil of secrecy continued today
to hide the nature of the recommended
tions from the trial judge and the
United States attorney and no indica-
lions whatever were forthcoming as to
what the Department of Justice Will
recommend to the President.

VALUES GREENHOUSES.

After reading extracts from the ad-
dress of F. e. Saitz, president of the
Vegetable Growers Association OF
America, one is inclined to rush out
and order several greenhouses. Perhaps
many vegetable growers would do SC
If they realized the possibilities. Speak
ing at Philadelphia, Mr.. Saitz referred
to the greenhouses as the factory produc-
ton method. It enables the operator
to occupy his time the year around
He no longer has q seasonal job. The
plants are free from insect pests.
Nowadays the soil is sterilized with
steam. Fumigation is also used. In
sects. fungus diseases and blights are
no longer dangers. The whole project
appears so feasible, especially when one
considers the advantages Of out-of-
season products, that one is inclined
to look forward TO great extension to
this kind of gardening in the future,
near the cities.

Action Presents War Depart
ment Reasons for Removal
of Georgetown Span.
CONTEND PIERS BLOCK
KEY BRIDGE OPENINGS
Point to ACCESSIBILITY of Action Be-
fore George Washington Cele-
bration in 1882.

With report from the War Depart
menr giving many reasons why the old
Acqueduct Bridge across the Potomac
In Georgetown should be removed, Sen
ator Reed of Pennsylvania, chairman
of the military affairs committee, has
reintroduced in the Senate the bill to
authorize the tearing down Of the old
structure
In asking Congress to consider this
measure again, the War Department
points out that the piers of the aban-
doned bridge tend to block openings in
the new Key Bridge, thereby increasing
the danger of ice jams The abutment
at the south end of the old Acqueduct
Bridge extends so feet beyond the abut-
silt to NIL up one of the openings near
the south end of the new bridge, the
War Department said.
The department also calls attention
to the adviSability of removing what
remains of the old Acqueduct Bridge
before the George Washington bi-cen-
tennial celebration in 1882, because of
the great interest being taken in the
laying out of the proposed highway to
Mount Vernon in connection with the
bi-centennial.
The report also states that derricks
which could pass under Key Bridge
cannot pass the old Aqueduct struc-
ture. The department says it has
learned of at least one project for the
establishment Of a navigation terminal
above the bridge which has been aban-
doned because of uncertainty regarding
the removal of Aqueduct Bridge.
The bill which Senator Reed has re-
introduced would authorize an appro-
nf e0O2 n
moval, part of which could be used to
improve the Virginia approach to the
new Key Bridge to make sure that the
surrounding conditions after the re-
moval of the old bridge will harmonic
with the design of the Key Bridge.
A similar bill passed the Senate in
the old Congress. but was not acted on
by the House. 1t probably will be
taken up early in the regular session.
