MAGRUDER DENIES
WISE ROAD CHARGE
Counters With Accusation
That Contractor Told
''WiIIfuI FaIsehood."
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MARLBORO, Md, February live
hement denial of the charges that the
State Roads Commission built a road
to his residence property was made to-
day by M Hampton Magruder, local
political leader, who has been sum-
moned to appear before the Michigan
commission investigating the office of
State Roads Commission.
Magruder was summoned after Alfred
J. Wise, local contractor, told the COM
mission he had hauled gravel to pri-
vate road on Magruder's farm and was
paid for the work by check of the
State Roads Commission.
In his statement of what he claims
to be the facts, covering seven typeWrit-
ten pages, Magruder counters by cilarg-
ing Wise with uttering '.willful false
hood"
Claims He Gave Rights-of-Way.
Magruder claims he gave two rights
of-Way Tor the Grain Highway without
compensation and in return, received
the promise of the local district engineer
that he would build sill to conect his
property with the main road.
D. D. Vaughn, superintendent of the
L. H. Colbert Construction Co., con-
tractors for the Grain Highway. asked
for and received permission to widen the
sill and build a permanent road,
Magruder said, during a time when the
contractor claimed he wanted to keep
his men employed after the Grain High
way was completed
Magruder says he learned later that
Vaughn had Wise haul the gravel. and
that one Gay WISE being anxious for
money, asked for payment. Vaughn.
according to Magruder, not having the
money with him, obtained check for
1880 from E. G.. Duncan, district en-
glneer for State Roads Commission. with
the understanding that the check. twas
against Vaughn'S contract price for the
Grain Highway as there had been no
final estimate at that time" The next
day Vaughn is said to have reimbursed
Duncan.
Says Other Fills Made.
II am advised by Vaughn that in the
unit price for the Grain Highway con-
tract my fill was taken into consider
alton as is the custom of the Colbert
Construction Co.," Magruder declared.
1T is a further fact" he said, that
exclusive of my own fill there are six
other approaches where the contractor
made necessary fills without cost to
individuals in any instance"
Wise was aware of these facts when
he testified before the commission,
according to Magruder who concluded
by saying, II am infinitely more con-
cerned about the publication of my
denial than the mere ability to prove
the Wise statement totally untrue"

lEHLBACH ABSTRACTION
ON PAY RELIEF MEASURE
Consults With House Leaders on
Plan to Expedite Legislation
Of U. S. Employees.

Chairman Lehlbach of the House
civil service committee is consulting
with House leaders and official repre-
sentatives of Government employees to-
day to determine whether House action
on the Lehlbaeh-B rookhart- Celler pay
relief bill can be expedited better
through a special rule or through rec
ignition of the suspension of the rules.
With the House rules committee al
ready bombarded by practically every
House committee with large number
of bills for which privileged status is
requested. Chairman Lehlbach 4feels
that he can get more direct and prompt
action through recognition of the sus-
pension rule. He said today he believes
he can get action on the pay relief bill
to correct inequalities and injustices
under the WEIGH pay bill by either one
of these methods, and that he expects
the bill to be promptly passed by the
House.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md February
11.-While no definite action is antic-
ipated, the proposition to have the
rent session of the Legislature author
ize the bonding of Prince Georges
County in the sum of 100000 for the
construction of concrete and gravel per-
manent highways is certain to be gen.
orally discussed and the county COM
missioners, in session tomorrow, may
assume an attitude toward the idea
that will at least bring it forcibly to
the notice of the people of the county.
According to those who are well
posted on the needs of the county as
to permanent highways, and the f1nan-
cial ability of the county to construct
the necessary roads with the money
available, the bonding proposition ap-
peals most strongly to them as the only
one that is likely to solve the perplex-
ing situation. There are at least five
highways in the county, the construc-
ton of which out of the $134,000 avail
able from Federal aid and the gasoline
tax allotment will be vigorously agitated
and urged by prominent citizens and

completed from the county line at Ken
ilworth to the Alexandria branch of the
Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad. The former
State Roads Commission is understood
to have favored the extension OF this
road in northweSterly direction, par
alleling the right of way of the rail-
road, but the route most favored, it IS
understood, is that which will carry the
new road over the present roadbed OF
the River road, adjacent to which are
many rich truck farms managed by
large taxpayers. The delegation will
suggest to the commissioners that the
crossing of the railroad tracks might be
accomplished by building the road un-
der or over the tracks and that large
fill would be necessary If the thorough
fare were to parallel the railroad tracks
into Bladensburg.
Road Completion to Be Urged.
The completion of about miles of
concrete road from Central avenue at
Halls Station, Queen Anne district, to
connect with the Defense highway will
be urged by citizens of Capitol Heights,
Seat Pleasant and Maryland Park, this
having been decided on at a recent
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
of the eighteenth election district, mem
ton of which was made in The Star.
The completion of the Laurel-Bowie
road (graveD, about z miles of which
has already been constructed, will be
urged by delegation from Laurel and
the Bowie neighborhoods. The extern
sion of this road to connect with the
Defense highway near the Bowie race
course will also be petitioned.
Citizens and taxpayers of the Spauld-

about miles of gravel road from the

Meeting First Definite Step in
Development of Virginia
End of Bridge.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
STAFF Corresnondent OF The Star.


CLARENDON, Va, February 11.-Ac-
Ceptance of an invitation to meet with
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, chairman of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, and members of the Lee
Highway Association was received today
by DR.. W. j. Showalter, acting president
of the latter association, from Gov.
Harry T. Byrd of Virginia. This is the
first definite step announced by the
state for arrangements to connect the
new Arlington Memorial Bridge with
the existing Virginia State highways.
Negotiations have been under way
since the Virginia State Highway Com
mission failed to make ALLEGATIONS for
a highway to connect with the Virginia
end of the bridge to arrange for meet
ing between Col H. j. Shirley, chair
man of the Virginia State Highway
Commission, and Federal officials to in
sure connection with the Virginia end
Of the bridge.
Movement Boosted.
While it was expected that such
meeting should be arranged, the at
tendance of Gov. Byrd lends much
more favorable tone to the affair than
has been heretofore contemplated.
In addition to Col. Grant, Gov. Byrd,
Col. Shirley and Dr. Showalter, it is
expected that the Secretary of War,
Representative r. Walton Moore of Vir-
ginia, DR.. S. johnson, director of the
Lee Highway Association: W. l.. Bragg,
chairman Of the Virginia Park and
Planning Commission, and Frank G.
Campbell, member of the latter COM
mission, will be in attendance.
4 While definite arrangements have not
been completed for the exact time and
place of the meeting, the date has been
agreed upon by all of the principals.
IT is possible that the meeting may be
held in Alexandria, it was said.
Problem Faced.
The State of Virginia is faced with
The problem of either providing an ap-
proach to the bridge before it is ready
Tor opening next year, or having the
project reach the Virginia side without
any exit for traffic.
At the recent State road ALLEGATION
bearing in Charlottesville, Col. Shirley
Stated that he had never been consulted
by the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission as to what they want
ed on the Virginia side of the river,
blaming the situation in part on the
failure of the Virginia Park and Plan
hing Commission to act.
The meeting scheduled for Thursday
is result of the joint efforts of the
Lee Highway Association, advocates of
the Lee Boulevard connection, and the
Virginia Park and Planning Commits
sion.
A meeting is scheduled for tonight
at the City Club by the Lee Highway
Association, where Dan Weigle, veteran
organizer, will attempt to explain to
the business men of Washington the
necessity for their financial co-opera-
ton in putting over an educational
program Regarding the Virginia high
ways and The city that is in the course
bf development on this side of the river.
