ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, August 24-In dismissing
charges of reckless driving. improper
lights and improper license tags against
r. E. Tull of Braddock, in Police Court
today, Judge Harry r. Thomas warned
Constable Herbert T. Baker Of Jefferson
district against again using the tactics
alleged to have been brought into use
In Tull's arrest.
According to Tull Baker had warned
and that he should have 1t fixed. An
argument ensued, In which Baker Is
said to have attempted to take Tull TO
the station house in Potomac, and Tull
who is a special officer for the town of
Potomac, drove away.
The next morning, Tun testified,
Baker and his father and brother
stopped the former on charge Of oper-
ating his employers truck on District
of Columbia tags, and when Tull strug-
gled against the arrest Baker ana his
two assistants threw him down and put
handouts on him, decorating his arm In
the process, according to testimony.
Judge Thomas warned Baker that he
would himself have objected to the use
of handouts for an alleged trafhc vio-
lation, and that there was not to be
recurrence. A summons to court Is all
that is necessary in such cases, Judge
Thomas said.
The court also dismissed charges OF
assault and battery that had been lodged
against Baker and his relatives as a re.
suit of the case, claiming that Tull
should have stopped and submitted to
arrest, even If he were guilty Of no Of
Tense.

DEFICIT is INCURRED
BY ROCKVILLE FAIR
Event This Year Proves Disap.
pointing as Officials Estimate
Financial Loss.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, August 24-The
seventy-sixth annual fair Of the Mont
gomery County Agricultural Society,
held here this week, was not financial
success, officials of the association ad-
mitted as much today. estimating the
deficit at probably several thousand
dollars.
Although the fair was favored with
good weather and the program attrac-
tive, the attendance was disappointing
to association officials who expected the
reduced price of admission to result
in greatly increased crowds. On the
contrary. however, the aggregate at
tendance was much less than for a
number Of years.
The society has been heavily in debt
for a long time and speculation is being
INDUCED in to the effect of the in
creased burden. The feeling here
abouts seems to be that county fairs, at
least so far as this part Of the country
is concerned. are "petering out" and
the early passing of Montgomery
County's time -honored institution is
being predicted.

commander of the Legion not stop

McNutt is enroute to San Diego
for three day tour Of California

Yesterday Legion headquarters
wired that McNutt would not be
able to stop here but it was hoped
by local Legion men that state Off

the stop.
At press time nothing definite
had been accomplished toward
final decision as to whether or not
Legion men and the bugle corps
would be at the station when ;he

There is a possibility that later
