Hutchinson Grounds inspccted From Skies By Possible Burgiars-Land and Sea Trails Cold in Probe of Theft.

Beverly Mass, Aug. 12 R}-Hav- ing vainly sought their man by land and sea, police today turned to the air for a clue to last Saturdays $250 ,00O jewelry robbery at the eX- elusive West Beach estate of Sydney F. Hutchinson, Philadelphia, broker clubman and son-in-law of E. T. Stotesbury, Morgan partner.
 The belief that the porch climb CT who pried his way through the second story French doors of thl big watersidc mansion might have obtained his bearings by airplane observation was given credence when Mrs. II. C. Prick of Brides Crossing reported that an orange colored plane had flown low over the north shore colony several days last week. The palatial Prick es- tate is not far from the Hutchinson place and is one of the most mag niccnt homes on the coast.
 Took Aerial Pictures
 From other sources police learned that the mysterious aviator carrie a passenger who, as the plane swooped low. over the wealthy homes, shot" the estates with q camera gun.
 But, against this theory, there was admittedly strong evidence that the robbery might have been an "in- side" job. A loaded rifle which Mr, Hutchinson invariably kept in his dressing closet was afterard discov- cred in a spare room with it's car tridgcs removed and missing. Other circumstances, together with the careful discrimination cvinced hy the thief in discarding certain avail able but less costly jcwelry while he helped himself to Mrs. Hutchinson s $150,O0O pearl necklace and several other valuable pieces, led investiga- tors to consider the possibility that

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, March 1.-The action
taken yesterday by the Board of County
Supervisors is a practical assurance
that Arlington district is to be provided
this year by new and thoroughly
modern health clinic building. it was
said yesterday by one member following
the board meeting.
When they appeared and requested
some definite information as to what
the board contemplateS doing about the
building, the clinic committee of the
Organized Women Voters and affiliated
organizations was informed that the
matter would be given consideration,
but that the funds with which to
finance the project were somewhat OBJ
scured by those necessary to pay for
the erection of the new record room
at the courthouse.
When they had finished with the
other matters, however, and after the
committee had left, the board instruct
ed G. L. Kinnier, county directing en-
gineer, to have an architect prepare
plans for building on county
lot in Clarendon.
1t was suggested by board members
that DR.. P. M. Chichester, county health
officer be consulted.
Supervisor E. c. Turnburke Of WASH
ington district, said he felt that there
should be clinic building in Claren-
don # in no other part of the county
The motion to have the plans prepared
was submitted by Supervisor B. M.
Hedrick, in whose district it would
be erected. Both Washington and Jeffer-
son districts have modern, county-own-
ed clinic buildings.

ARLINGTON HEADS
HIT INTERFERENCE
"'Threats by U. S. Govern
ment" on Abattoir Plan De-
nounced by Supervisors.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.


ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, March 1.-The keen re-
sentiment of the Board of County Super
visors of Arlington County at the
pressure" methods being brought by
Federal officials and certain groups of
residents and business men in the coun-
ty to prevent the issuance of a permit
for the erection of an abattoir by the
N. Auth Provision Co. of Washington
was evidenced by their reception of the
protests yesterday.
While the application was not made,
due to a flaw in their published in
tention. the attention of the board was
called to resolution offered in Con-
gress by Chairman Wood of the House
appropriations committee, to withhold
further appropriations for the Arlington
Memorial Bridge and Mount Vernon
boulevard If the application was
granted.
Hedrick DenounceS Wood.
All three members of the board pro-
tested what they termed as threats by
the Federal Government and announced
that they were capable Of handling their
own affairs. The protest resulted from
an appeal by Mrs. Florence E. Cannon
that the board write to Wood and in
form him that there was no application
before the board.
Supervisor Hedrick was the most Bit
ter in his announcement.
1--WE do not approve of Woods lam
guage," he said. land we do not like
threats. This is the second time that
the Federal Government has threatened
Virginia and we do not like threats.
We do not like Mr. Woods statement
and we do not want anything to do
with him.
Chairman Edward Duncan said that
Wood had not treated the board with
common courtesy In threatening such
action before he had informed himself
of the facts
Must Wait "a Days.
Duncan told the large crowd that had
gathered to protest the abattoir that
he understood that number of the
resolutions passed by citizens associa-
tons had been passed at time when
but few of the members were present.
Failure of the company to make ap-
plication yesterday will result in delay
Of at least "a days before the matter
can again come before the board and
opponents of the plant are laying plans
to take advantage of the delay to
strengthen their arguments.

WITHIN tnelr territory.
Meeting in Seat Pleasant, the direc-
tors in taking that action specifically
empowered their president. Thomas j.
LucKett to invite the N Auth Provision
Co. to erect its packing house in this
neighborhood.
Sees Benefit in Plan.
Explaining the proposition. President
Luckett said the board felt that the
establishment of the packing house and
other industrial concerns in its terri
tory would help the communities there
develop. The board does not believe
that there could be any possible OBJ
lection to its being located within the
eighteenth district, according to Luckett.
Some opposition is anticipated from
property owners adjacent to whatever
site might be selected but If the pack
ing house were brought to the Capitol
Heights neighborhood, it would benefit
many more persons than it would harm,
in the opinion of the Chamber of Com
merce leaders, as expressed by their
president.
There would not be any opposition on
the ground of alleged interference with
Federal Identification plans as in Vir-
ginia, Luckett pointed out.
Sites Are Suggested.
Several sites have been named as
suitable for the packing plant, one of
which, frequently mentioned, is at in
tersection of Chapel road and Central
avenue. Some of the locations pro-
posed are now zoned residential, but
the business leaders do not believe there
would be an difficulty in securing a
change in coming.
When N. Auth Provision Co. first at
tempted to obtain a permit in Virginia
for the erection of an abattoir on its
property, SO much clamor of protest
arose the project was abandoned.
Recently the second application was
filed and is at present pending. while
many citizens are endeavoring to pre-
vent its issuance.

OFFICIAL DEFENDS
C0UNTY'S METHODS
Montgomery Clerk Replies to
Charges of Anticipated
Business System.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March Recent
published statements rejecting on the
methods of conducting Montgomery
Countys business affairs, particularly
the records Of the county's financial
transactions, led Berry E. Clark, clerk
of the county commissioners, to issue a
statement in refutation of the sugges-
ton that any of the methods in vogue
in the county are Anticipated" as was
charged, and pointing to the fact that
the something less than 100000 in
bonds issued by the county in the last
few years were sold at premiums aggre-
eating SOL ,320.32 clearly indicates the
condition of the records of the county
and its general ability to take care of
its financial obligations.
Mr.. Clark's statement in part says:
montgomery County has had a budget
or levy system for the last SO years.
Each fund is separated from the others
and entries under each account are
made in debit and credit columns, so
that at all times each account shows the
condition thereof. Monthly reports of
the conditions of these funds are sub
mitted by the clerk of the commissioners
to the county commissioners.
Ihe General Assembly OF Maryland,
during the sessions of 1922, 1924 and
1927, passed SO acts directly affecting
the Office of the county commissioners,
all of which prescribed new or addi-
tional duties for that office and num-
Der of them provided for the issuance of
county road, school and other bonds.
Among the additional duties imposed
were the set-up and collection of build
ing permits, the laying out of and estab-
fishing the ownership of property and
the taxable bases of various areas, all
irregular in outline and none carrying
any existing political division or dis
trict. Ali of these areas were set up,
the ownership and the taxable bases
established promptly following approval
of the acts by the governor. and the
bases thus established have held up and.
with the exception of additions and
changes in ownership, remain I'M
changed
Following the three sessions of the
Legislature, the bonds authorized have
been sold.
1.-The condition of the records of the
county and its general financial ability
to take care of its obligations have a
large bearing upon the prices received
for bonds.
