GAS OFFICIALS STUDY;
EXTENSION IN COUNTY

BY a Stan Correspondent of The Star.
SLIGO, Md, December 13.-Studics
are being made by the officials of the
Washington Gas Light Co. looking
toward the provision of gas service in
that portion of the northern metropoli-
tan district adjacent to the District
of Columbia. The service proposed, IT.
was said, will include the sections of

Takoma, East Silver Spring, Sligo Park
Hill, Smiths Addition, Seven Oaks,
Wynpewood Park, Woodside Park, North
Woodside, Linden and Forest Glenn. ~
The extension of this service. it was
pointed out, will involve the installa-t
ton of a pressure tank in the area
and a representative of the company,
together with Lacy Shaw, county COM
missioner in charge of the northern.

kins-was supported by the Chamber
OF Commerce and many of the leading
civic organizations of the county. The
plan on which Mr.. Freeman and the
other leaders are now working is the
formulation of an adjusted tax, varying
with the different districts, according to
the benefits to be derived, the more
populous districts, such as Providence,
Falls Church and DraneSville, paying
larger percentage of the total than the
districts which would derive the least
protection.
A second matter to be discussed at
tomorrow nights meeting is the ad-
visibility of organizing Fairfax County
firemen's association distinct from the
present bi-county organization. Dis
satisfaction over the latter's refusal to
investigate and censure. If necessary,
the conduct of some of its members,
which last September received wide
publicity, has brought to head a feel
ing of discomfort brewing for some time.

Order Giving Roads Board 10
Days to Answer PaVeS
Way for Trial.
Special Dispatch to The star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, December 13.-
Moore and a number of other well
known residents of Kensington, this
county, instituted in the Circuit Court
here several weeks ago, to restrain the
Maryland State Roads Commission
from constructing a bridge over the
Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad tracks at
the end of Lincoln avenue, KenSington,
Judge Robert B. Peter late yesterday
passed an order giving the roads COM
mission 10 days in which to answer
both the bill of complaint and rule to
show cause why an injunction should
not be issued.
Delays Order.
Judge Peter refused, however, to
grant a preliminary injunction until
the expiration of the 10 days.
In a recent decision on demurrers to
the numerous allegations of the bill
of complaint, the court, in overrulling
the demurrerS to some OF the principal
allegations of the bill, held that certain
statutory requirements, such as giving
proper notice of hearing, filing with
the county commissioners a certified
copy of the plans and specifications,
advertising for bids, etc, which, 1t was
alleged, the roads commission neglected
to do. were mandatory and must be
complied with.
Court Held PowerleSS.
Judge Peter further held in deciding
the demurrerS that compliance with
the statutory preliminaries rendered
the court powerless to interfere. He
sustained the demurrerS to several
paragraphs Of the bill and gave the
plaintiffs a certain number of days in
which to amend their bill Of COM
plant, which, however, they elected
not to do.
The order passed by Judge Peter yes
terday clears the way for the case to be
heard on its merits, provided the an
swers are filed as indicated.
Since Judge Peter handed down his
opinion on the demurrers, the roads
commission has complied with some of
the preliminaries neglected in the first
place and has signified its purpose to
proceed with the construction of the
overhead and the elimination of the
dangerous grade crossing at Kensing-
ton.

HARMON SEEKING
 MAN FOR MANDELL
Chicago Promoter Little En-
 coura8ed by ContenderS

Chicago, Oct. 17.-UP)-Nery little encouraged by the aspirations of any challenger, Promoter Paddy Harmon today still was seeking an opponent for Lightweight Champion Sammy Mandel.
 Harmon has been in quest of that opponent for three months-ever since he signed Sammy for another championship bout-but so far no fighter has shown the class needed to meet Mandell.
 Paddy hoped he could develop King Tut, the Minneapolis fighter, into a drawing card for a bout with Mandell. But Tut spoiled any inn mediate chances of this when he lost on a foul last night to Lope Tenorio, Filipino, in the first round.
 There appeared to be no reason to believe that Tut fouled deliberate ly. He had everything to lose and nothing to gain by a foul punch and the fight seemed merely to be one of those accidents that happen every so often.
 The ten round heavyweight wind up match was a feroCious but in effective struggle between Al Fried man, Boston and Babe Hunt, Ponca City. Okla. Hunts reach was so much longer than that of his oppo- nent that the Boston boy was fore cd to resort to infighting to get any punches across.
 There was a great deal of energy expended but not one solid blow landed during the whole fight. When Hunts hand finally was lifted in sign of victory a few fans booed. The rest had gone home.
 The nights best fight was fast mixup between Pete Meyers of San Francisco and Bobby O'Hara of Chicago. O'Hara lost the decision by but slight margin although he was knocked down three times. He fore cd the fighting throusnout and got Tn surprising number of blows.

Secret Meeting Fails to Heal
 St. Jean Baptiste Breach

Burlington, Nt.. Oct. 17 tPl-The hope that secret meeting between leaders of the two divergent fac tions within LITnion St. Jean Bap- tiste D'Amerique had healed the breach which has caused so much tension at the quadrennial convcn- lion of the organization here, scem- ed to have received jolt today with the proposal by the so-called Daignault wing of partial slate of general officers including a can- d!datc for the presidency
 The unexpectedly unanimous ap- proval which the convention ycctcr- day accorded to the report of Gen eral Secretary Ellie Vezina of Woon- socket, R. l., in which the Daig- nault eXcommunication question was aired, and the conference which followed, had given rise to q hope by administration packers that matters might be smoothed over.
 Late last night. however, It be- came known that the Daignault or anti-dicctsan forces had put J. Ed ward Lajoie of Fall River, Mass, in the fold to oppose Henri Iedoux of Nashau, N. H., who is seeking reelection for the four year term as president, and that Emile Erard of Springfield, Mass. would contest the secretaryship with Vezina.
 Both sides endorsed the candida cies of Arthur Daviau of Water vile. Me, for first vice president, of J. Arthur Favreau of Boston for treasurer and of Everiste A. Mar cotte of kankakee, H., for third vice president. The opposition. how ever, nominated J. H. Fleury of Holyoke. Mass, for second vice president to oppose Dr, J. C. z. Potvin of Springfield. The election will be held some time today.
