Of the vicarious order. But that fact
in no sense softens the punishment Of
the world upon its illegitimates. Now,
Nancy had no father. Some said it
was Willie Weams, the horse tender.
And some opined. grudgingly, that it
might have bee nthe laird of Fassenfern
himself. As for the parties Of the first
and second parts, they said nothing at
all, gradually fading out of the scene,
with Nancy alone left to fight the battle
of her parentage. And 1t was battle,
for, with all her soul, Nancy refused to
be sired by the horse tender.
This is Nancy's story. Simple in its
countryside setting, tragic in its human
content, the romance is blend of dark
splendor and crude living, of sturdy
friendship among the coarse and even
low, of cruelty from the pretentiously
good. And in the midst of this is Nam

Holds Post as Chairman of

BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.


CLARENDON, Va, April 81. z.

against his election as chairman Of the
Arlington County Republican commit
tee by contingent from Cherrydale. r
Spaulding was placed in the position
Of defendant yesterday at hearing be-
fore subcommittee of the Virginia
State Republican committee. After
hearing the evidence and arguments the
subcommittee, of which Dr. Duncan,
Curry of Stanton was chairman, de-.
cided that he had been legally and
honestly elected"
Yesterdays action brings to an end a
fight that was precipitated Immediately
after Spaulding's election last August.
Cherrydale had elected II delegates to
attend the county convention, but the
election was held unfair by number Of
the participants and they elected q
second set Of delegates.
The credentials committee Of the
county committee, after hearing the ar
gUments of the second delegation voted
to seat them also, allowing each Of the
% delegates a half vote. This ac-
ton was upheld by the convention itself.
Yesterdays nearing, it was explained,
was more in the nature Of test as to
the legality of the admittance of the
rump delegation than an effort TO un-
seat Spaulding, who was elected with
their assistance
Harry B. Mason of Cherrydale sp-
peared at the hearing as counsel for the
Cherrydale contingent and Spaulding
was defended by Carl Marshall. The
subcommittee, in announcing its de-
cision, complimented Spsrlding upon
the excellent work he has done as chair
man of the local committee.

at the first meeting of the reorganized
commission, and was at that time de-
dayed until yesterday to allow the
members of the commission to per-
sonally visit the site. Last night N. B.

ROADHOUSES HIT
BY GRAND JURY.
More Stringent Legislation Is
Recommended for Prince
Georges County.
BY GEORGE PORTER,

UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, April g.
Although failing to make any mention
in its report Of the reported custom Of
gambling houses within the county clos
ing while the grand jury is in session, as
called to its attention by Judge Joseph
c. Mattingly In his charge last week, the
Prince Georges County grand jury yes
terday recommended more stringent leg
islation covering the roadhouses Of the
county In submitting It's ANAL group OF
indictments, including one charging as
sault with intent to kill against a man
held in connection with the Green
Gables roadhouse case.
Demands Higher Licenses.
Through its foreman, William T. Nc
Pherson of Brandywine, the jury report
ed to Judge Mattingly that 80 much
disorder and crime comes to our atten-
ion from the roadhouses that we recon-
mend these places be required to pay
much higher license, and that legisla-
ton to this effect be passed at the next
session Of the General Assembly"
Construction of county hospital
centrally located on good road" sub
mission of police officers reports in writ
ing, and full cooperation between the
county police force and the police force
of the District Of Columbia were other
matters recommended by the grand
jury.
Existence in the county of many
cases needing hospital treatment lead
the jurors to urge the passage Of some
legislation similar to the Montgomery
County law to take care of this neces-
sity."
Because the reports received from
the constables of the various districts
of the county we're in most cases 'of
general character and not Of great
value" the grand jurors earnestly re-
quested" that these reports be submitted
in writing in the future and filed for
reference.
Jail Condition Good.
Their inspection of the county jail
revealed that institution to be very
clean, sanitary and orderly" the report
stated, while the almShouse was also
seen as satisfactory. The crawling OF
the road leading to the almshouse and
the planting of some new fruit trees
there was recommended.
During the six days It was In
session the grand jury heard 40 cases,
examined "a witnesses. returned 36
presentments, ignored IL cases. dis
missed and continued for lack OF
witnesses.
In accepting the report Judge Mat
tingly expressed appreciation for the
efficient, able, thoughtful, sincere and
honest manner" In which it had dis
charged its duty. noting with particular
qualification the extremely pertinent"
recommendations Of its report.
