ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. February 18.-The regular
term of the Circuit Court of Arlington
County opened today, with Judge How
ard w. Smith on the bench.
The first business to come before the
court was the presentation by the Ar
lington County Bar Association of a
portrait of the late Judge Charles E.
Nichols of Alexandria. The preSenta-
ton was made by Crandal Mackey.
Judge Nichols served on the bench from
1895 until 1905, when he resigned to
run for Congress. He was defeated.
An air of mystery surrounds the an
nouncement by the Office of the COM
monwealth attorney that the grand
jury will consider, among a number of
other cases, one of murder. The ma
ture of the case will not be revealed
until the grand jury has taken the mat
ter under consideration, it was said.
Among the early charges to be con-
sidered by the grand jury are four
HOUSEKEEPING cases, three mayhem and
number of violations of the prohibit
ton law.
1t is expected that the grand jury
will return the indictments by late this
afternoon, at which time they will be
docketed for trial.

HUNDREDS OF SKATERS
FLEE STARVING WOLVES
By the Associated Press.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, February 49,
Hundreds of men and women enjoy
ing Winter sports in the Burgenland
region we're terrified by the sudden ap-
pearance of wolves driven out of the
dense forests by hunger.
There was a wild panic as skaters
attempted to gain the shores of the
lake. In places the ice broke, many
persons plunging into the freezing
water. All were rescued by means of
human lifelines from the shore.
Greater panic and possible disaster
were averted by few of the skaters
who were armed and opened fire on the
wolves, killing several and frightening
off the rest.

BY the Associated Press.
VIENNA, February 18.-The Austrian
government today began to mobilize the
100000 men in its combined army,
gendarmerie and police forces in antic-
ipation of rival mass meetings next
Sunday of Socialists and Anti-Socialists.
The chief gatherings are to take place
in the workmen's district of Meidling,
but there are to be other meetings in
various parts of Vienna and its suburbs.
All officers and soldiers of the army
who are on leave have been ordered to
return to their regiments.
Police President Schober today offered
his services as mediator in an attempt
to have at least one of the meetings
postponed beyond next Sunday. There
was only faint hope that this move
would succeed. Herr Schober said,
however, that he would compel the ri
val organizations to assemble IN widely
separated parts of Vienna.
The two factions are known as the
Heimwehr, which is generally called
Fascist, and the Schutzbund, known as
the Republic Defense League. Rivalry
between the organizations eliminated in
disastrous riots in July, 1927, about 100
persons being killed and the palace Of
justice burned.

.GLEBE ROAD NORTH
plan |SABANDONED|
of Route From
Lee Highway South
Favored Instead.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
staff Correspondent of TIE Star.

CLARENDON, Va, February 49,
The plan to request the Virginia State
Highway Commission to construct Glebe
\ road from the Columbia pike north in
stead of from Lee Highway south has
] been abandoned because Of the prospect
i!Of having Lee Boulevard furnish paved
! outlet for residents of Glebe road, it
was announced today by Robert H
/ Foreman, chairman of the roads COM
fmittee of the Glebewood Citizens As
4 ISOLATION.
Il When the highway commission re-
! allocated $4,000 from the Lee High
way to Glebe road, announcing that the
/ money would be spent to widen the
latter road from Lee Highway to Balls
ton, it was felt by the proponents of
/ the Glebe road project that they needed
/ access to Columbia pike and the High
lway Bridge more than to the Lee High
way.
Needs Declared Not Served.
The money was to be spent, accord
ting to State highway officials, to con-
lstruct a cement highway for as long a
I0istance as the money would cover, a
distance of between mile and hall
and two miles This new highway would
not have reached sufficient distance
/ to serve those most in need of paved
road. so it was decided to request the
State to construct a cheaper grade of
/ road for a greater distance.
The prospect of having the Lee Bou-
j ievard completed before the new Me-
mortal Bridge is finished however. has
| placed a different light on the subject.
| The Lee Boulevard, 1t is explained by
| and Columbia pike, furnishing high
ly satisfactory outlet for most OF the
residents between.
Paving of Glebe road from the Lee
Highway south will also furnish an
excellent detour route when the Lee
Boulevard has been constructed as far
as Glebe road, it was pointed out, since
the $4,000 ALLEGATION will carry the
paving of Glebe road to within less
than a mile of Lee Boulevard.
Hope for Funds Net Year.
4 II is hoped by Foreman that the
State Highway Commission may be per-
suaded to allocate sufficient funds next
year to finish the paving of Glebe road
to at least Columbia pike. When this
As done residents may have three routes
unto Washington, all connected by
hard-surfaced road.
Foreman stated that he had just re-
ceived letter from the highway COM
mission offering the assistance of an
expert in procuring the few widening
rights of way that are still not in
possession of the State for the Glebe
road work. 1t is expected that the work
will start as soon as the money be-
comes available on July /, the begin
ming of the fiscal year.
