HOSPITAL SIT {
OFFERED BY
MAGRUDER

A new threefold project to
make Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier,
Bladensburg, Riverdale and other
Maryland townships practically
independent of District public IA
cilities came to light today when
w. P. Magruder, donor Of Ma
gruder Park, announced his offer
of a 45-acre tract for the erection
of a hospital, children's home
and a home for the aged.
All three buildings, If the offer
Of land is accepted, will be built
on the same tract, with one
board Of directors to supervise
the trio. on the Defense Highway,
one mile from the heart Of the
Hyattsville business center.
With schools functioning on q
par with Washington educational
institutions. and the construc-
ton Of Magruder Park, which
will be developed into one of the
best recreation points in the
country, the hospital project
comes as the final step in Hyatts-
vile improvement, the move of
completion in the Capitalization
Of the Maryland cities.
Have Needed Hospital
1--WE have stood in need of such
hospital for years." Magruder
said. I'VE have to take all our
Ill and injured to Washington
hospitals, and some day they may
do as the District schools did,
find they had too many of their
own to care for without those
from Maryland"
HyattSville owes much Of its
present status as thriving town
to Magruder, who was born in the
community. Many years ago he
walked three miles to Bladens-
burg every day to attend the
school at the old Academy, now
torn down to make way for
Maryland'S new schools and the
university.
He himself once worked the
soil that now is Magruder Park,
and it was the trees which now
will shade the children who play
there that killed his crops and
made the land impossible to oill.
II thought at the time" Ma
gruder said, that it might some
day make park, so never had
the trees cut down.
Noted for his philanthropy,
Magruder is one Of the men who
made the new Rhode Island
Avenue extension, which opens
today, possible. With other
community leaders, he has been
working for years toward It's
completion. and with its open
ing to traffic today, he an
ncunced his offer for the hos
pital.
Is Leading Citizen
Vice president of the First Ma
tional Bank Of Hyattsville, Ma
gruder has always the first inter
ests of his birthplace at heart,
bends all his efforts to its i'm
provement. He is a pillar of its
churches, the staunch supporter
Of its merchants, and the final
tribunal of it's citizens.
His hospital project will doubt
less eliminate many deaths from
traffic accidents on the Defense
Highway and other Maryland
thoroughfares, as facilities in
Washington are practically use
less in many emergency cases
which require quick treatment.
The District, he believes, may
possibly aid the State IN compile
ton of the threefold plan. while
appropriations will be asked to
cover the initial cost. Foundation
funds, he said, may also be given,
while proceeds from patients fees
will care for the upkeep.

COFFEE PRICES MAY
HIT LOWER LEVELS
Brazil Reports Heavier Carry-over
Than Year Ago, With Big

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-The Coffee
Defense Institute succeeded IN reducing
stocks of coffee in Brazil by only 3,000,-
900 bags during the past season ended
June 80, 1929. The carry-over at the
beginning of July amounted to approx
mately 100000 bags, as against 49,
100000 bags q year ago. The Defense
Institute failed to reduce the carry-over
by a larger amount because of Its de-
sire to maintain prices. II Brazil had
released more coffee during the past
season 1t would have been at the ex-
pense Of a considerably lower level Of
prices, because the supply available
from other exporting countries was
large and requirements Of consuming
countries were curtailed.
Brazil is now entering the new sea-
hon with q considerably larger supply
than q year ago. The new crop is esti-
mated at 22,500, 900 bags, or more than
double last years crop OF ll,0oo,o0O
bags. The increase in the crop Is thus
more than SUFFICIENT to offset the dc.
crease In the carry-over ana the total
ING season amounts to 32,500, 900 bags
a against $4,000, 900 bags last season.

HIGHER PRICES FORECAST
FOR POTATO MARKET
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 27.-The Alexan-
der Hamilton Institutes Trade Bulletin
says:
Due to the record crop of potatoes
raised in 1928 and the consequent sharp
slump In price. potato growers this year
have curtailed their acreage of 11.9
per cent. In addition to this decrease
in acreage growing conditions so far
this season have been less favorable
than year ago and the present out
look is that the yield per acre will
amount TO only 1928 bushels this year,
as against 1919 bushels last year. The
Government in its July report forecast
the total potato crop at $4,000, 900
bushels this year. as compared with
464, 900, 900 bushels raised in 1928, q
decrease of 1873 per cent.
Potatoes are selling at the present
time at o higher price than year ago
and . further price advance Is In pros
pect.
Potatoes at New York are now quoted
at $3.50 per bushel, as compared with
$50 q month ago and year ago.

BOSTON, July 27.-Mergers are the

While there may be some question as
to the economic merit Of certain COM

ones that 90 up. This Is partly due
to their real business advantages. but
largely, also, to their success in cap

SPLENDID GAINS
IN RAIL EARNINGS
Years Earlier Losses in Pas.

Greatly Diminished.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27-Most Of the
railroad reports for June and for the
six months to June 80 have now been
published. A review of them today
reveals the fact that in nearly every
section and In all but a few industrial
districts Of the country, trafic is at
high tide and the earlier effects Of loss
Of passenger earnings are diminishing.
In the East all of the important trunk
lines exhibited splendid gains both for
June and the half year. The Pennsyl-
vania Railroad increased its net operat-
by 30 per cent The New Haven had
nearly double net after charges, COM
pared with the same six months of
1928. New York Central earned a
greater gross in six months than for
any like period in six years.
In spite Of the reduced volume of
hard coal trafic, the Lehish Valley,
Lackawanna, Delaware q Hudson, Erie
and Reading all ended the half year
with a greater net for interest and divi-
dends than a year ago.
In the South recovery was conspicu-
GUS on such lines as the Southern Rail-
way. seaboard Air Line and Florida
East Coast. While not up to some years,
they have all come back strongly from
the depressed conditions Of 1927 and
1928.
The Northwest has produced good
trafic returns, supplemented by efficient
operations which together have pro-
iuced some record-breaking net returns.
The Great Northern stands out con-
spicuously among the roads In this ter
ritory, with q net increase over 40 per
