ROADHOUSE FIGHT
BEGUN BY CITIZENS
Mount Rainier Association
Launches Fight Against
Resorts After Shooting.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.


MOUNT RAINIER. Md, May %
Aroused over the second roadhouse
shooting in Prince Georges County in
three months, the Mount Rainier Citi-
zens' Association, meeting in the town
hall last night, unanimously passed a
resolution placing their organization on
record as opposed to the further
licensing of such establishments.
The resolution. which condemns some
of the roadhouses as public nuisances,"
was passed after several of the citizens
had expressed indignation at the ''un-
pleasant notoriety" given their COM
munity by the shooting at the Prince
Georges Inn yesterday morning. II. w.
Blandy presented the resolution and e.
P. Jordan seconded it.
Provisions of New Law.
Upon passage it was pointed out that
under the new roadhouse law, effective
June /. the county commissioners have
the power to issue, refuse or revoke
roadhouse permits, which led to the
citizens ordering a copy OF their reSo-
luton being sent to the commissioners.
1t is further pointed out that the inn
!, where the last shooting occurred was
Immediately contiguous to the site OF
the new Mount Rainier High School
and this caused the organization to
have the County Board OF Education
also informed of its action.
The citizens were assured that their
new high school building would be
erected as soon as possible by Perry
Boswell, president OF the Board OF Edu-
cation.
D. J. circuit. vice president. presided
q non Fee BiII Defeated.
Efforts were made to have the last
Legislature pass bill which would
have placed license fee Of 81 900 on
roadhouses and dance halls in certain
districts In Prince Georges County. It
was believed by the proponents OF this
measure that this would have been an
effective measure in keeping question:
able resorts out of the metropolitan
district at least, as the bill only applied
to certain sections of the district, be-
cause these institutions could not have
survived under such q tax. The meas
ure was spurred on a little by the oc-
currence at Green Gables. but II was
finally decided by the Prince Georges
delegation in the Legislature that II
also would serve to drive out OF busi-
ness other we'll established places Wnlch
were run in, an orderly manner. me
fee was set at 500. 1t was decloeo,
further, that the county commissioners
had authority to handle the question
able places by refusing or reVoklng
licenses.
Some Of these roadhouses have been
a source Of much complaint on the
part Of the populace, and much pres
sure was brought on the legislators to
pass the high tax bill, but without
result,

Interest is attached to the rumor rel-
alive to certain important changes in
Army organization. One proposal con-
templates the abolition of the inspector
generals department, or it's virtual
equivalent of amalgamation with an
other department. 1t is, of course,
urged in behalf of this plan that the
duties now performed by inspectors
general can be rendered by officers of
the finance department in the in
stances requiring inspection of public
funds disbursed for Army purposes
and by corps area commanders, chiefs
of branches and the chief of staff and
his representatives where more mill
tary inspection is necessary.
The other proposal suggests that the
chiefs and assistants chiefs of branches
having the rank of general officer shall
be transferred to the list of general Of
Ulcers of the line, and, where they are
not such, made permanent in that ca
pacity. Under that arrangement, it is
supposed that vacancies among chiefs
and assistant chiefs of branches, with
the exception of the medical depart
ment and the Corps of Chaplains, shall
be filled by the detail of major gen.
erals and brigadier generals of the line,
respectively, to hold such position for
the usual four years, and to return on
the termination of that period to line
functions.

these matches cannot be determined

tional Board for the Promotion of Rifle

ficer of the national matches this year,

NEW CATHEDRAL
CLASSIC SYMBOL
"Western Simplicity" Com
bines With Gothic Touch
in Spokane Structure.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SPOKANE, Wash. December IA
spired cathedral, hewn from North
western stone, is being reared on Spo-
kane hill, the symbol, its builders hope,
of the best of the ancient arts as ap-
piled to young, fast-growing country.
The Gothic architecture of the EpiS-
copal Cathedral of st. John the Evan
geliSt in general resembles the English
churches, with a base of Western SIM
plicity and honesty" that changes to a
Gallo touch of f1amboyant detail at the
turretS.
The building has a wealth of intri-
cate carved stone ornamentation, with
the elaborate symbolism of Christian
and medieval heraldry.
Over the main entrance, or tym-
panum. is depicted in carved stone the
true vine," with flowers, birds and in
sigma. At another entrance will appear
the arms of the missionary. district of
Spokane and of the Right Rev. Edward
Maxim Cross, bishop of the district, with
pine trees, needles and cones emblem
attic OF the Northwest, and to Christians
of immortality. High up on the two
western towers will be stone shields with
representations of events in the life of
Christ
Probably the most conspicuous detail
Of the western front will be a great
rose window % feet in diameter, all of
the glass divisions of which will be set
in tracery of stone, the whole forming
the pattern of six-petaled flower.
Roughly estimated, the building will
cost more than half a million dollars.
1t is expected to be completed within a
year.

Navy.

Navy.
To meet the needs of the actual and
the projected cruiser program and the
existing aircraft building programs the
Navy will have need for an increase
OF nearly 800 line officers by 1884. Just
so long as the Naval Academy remains
the sole source of naval officers, with
the exception of the Medical, Dental and
Chaplain Corps, it is imperative that it
be continued at an adequate strength
OF mldshlpmen to provide for the con-
tinuation of the proper inflow to the
commissioned ranks of the Navy. At
the present time but SIS per cent of the
entering classes graduate and receive
commissions. To provide, however, for
the necessary annual output of approx
imately 1886 officers for the line (after
present line conditions become stabilized
and normal Examinations take place.
some IS for the Marine Corps and Sup
ply Corps on graduation, and 10 for
later transfer to the Construction Corps
and Civil Engineer Corps, total of 381
an annual input of 693 is required.
A total of 1921 midshipmen is au-
thorized by law at the Naval Academy
including five appointments to each
Senator and Representative, but in the
appropriation acts since that for 1924
and until 1929 the allowance for each
member of Congress has been reduced
TO three, which represents maximum
paper total of 2,208. The appropriation
act for 1929 allowed four appointments
TO each member of Congress, which
would permit maximum total of 2,743
and since experience has shown that ii
is possible to keep little over 80 per cent
of the appointments filled, the number
of midshipmen at the academy, on the
disappointment basis, should average
about 1900, with an input annually of
700 and an output to commissioned
grades in the line and staff of the Navy
and in the Marine Corps of 385.
A board Of officers headed by Rear
Admiral Edward r. Stitt will be con-
vened at the Navy Department tomor-
row for the purpose of recommending
two officers of the Medical Corps for
promotion to the rank of rear admiral
to fill vacancies. The other officers on
this beard are Rear Admirals Albert
M. D. Mccormick and Charles H. T.
LowndeS, with Lieut.. Comdr Hillard L.
