HATCHERY PLANNED
. FOR MONTGOMERY
County Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association Backs
Proposition.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 1915
plans of the Montgomery County Fish
| and Game Protective Association, which
has a membership of approximately
800, do not miscarry, fish hatchery
will soon be established on the asso-
cations game preserve near Middle
brooke, this county, according to the
President, w. Frank Ricketts,.
At the recent annual meeting of the
association a committee, consisting OF
President y Ricketts,, Carroll Waters
chief deputy game warden for the
county. and Reuben Riggs, was named
to give the proposition consideration
and Chairman Ricketts, has announced
that the committee has not only de-
cided such a project feasible, but Is
planning to push it to early compile
ton.
A hatchery at Middlebrooke is de-
sired, 1t Is said. principally to provide
small-mouth black bass with which to
reStock the upper Potomac River. 1t is
stated that the supply of that fine
variety of game fish in the river above
Great Falls has become greatly depleted
in recent years.
At the invitation of the committee
appointed by the Game and Fish Asso-
citation representative of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries visited the
Middlebrooke preserve, through which
fine stream of water flows, and ex-
pressed the opinion that it is ideally
located for hatchery. SO well pleased
was he with the set-up there that he
is reported to have given assurances
that the United States bureau could
be depended upon to assist in every
way in the establishment and mainte-
nance of such plant.
Last week the committee visited An
napolis and conferred with Swepson

TWO POST OFFICES
ROBBED IN VIRGINIA
$500 Taken at luray and
AIdie-0ne Building
Burned.

One Virginia post Office was robbed
and completely destroyed by fire and
another was ransacked and $4,000 taken
in two spectacular thefts shortly after
midnight last night.
The post Office at Aldie, Va, was rob-
bed of $500 and all records and books
burned in blaze that is thought to
have been set by the burglars The
blaze, lighting up the entire vicinity,
burned for nearly an hour before APP
paratus from Leesburg arrived. Fire
fighters fought for nearly three hours
before the fire was conquered. Only
the charred ruins remain.
The building was erected in 1900 and
IS owned by Will Goode of Aide. who
also manages the place. Investigation
by fremen revealed that the safe had
been blown open and its entire contents
taken. This strengthened the theory
that the fire was set by burglars. Others
contend that the blaze originated when
the fuse which the robbers may have
used to blow open the safe, set fire
to books, and receipts lying around the
office. Police are making a search for
the robbers.
The robbery of the other post Office
took place at Luray, about one hour
before the Aldie fire and theft occurred.
The robbers gained entrance through
the front door by jimmying the lock
and blew the safe. Police officials are
of the opinion that the job was ac-
complished by experts. The building is
comparatively new, having ben built in
1926.
A colored woman who lives across the
street from the post Office told police
she saw two men working inside of the
window about o'clock this morning,
but no clue to the identity of the
burglars has yet been found. The loot
consists of 500 in cash and $4,000 in
stamps.

FUNDS FOR coming
TO Be DISCUSSED
Arlington Supervisors and
Chamber Committee to
Reach Agreement.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
STAFF CORRESPONDENT OF The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, March ia
meeting between the board of county
supervisors and the permanent coming
committee of the Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce will be held to-
morrow evening in the Chamber of
Commerce rooms to effect a working
agreement as to the technical points
involved in the expenditure of the funds
that are being raised by both for the
coming of the county.
While the question of furnishing the
funds was purely county governmental
affair, the lack of funds led to the ar
rangement of meeting recently at
which the Chamber of Commerce
agreed to raise SIS 900 of a $4,000 fund
for the employment of an expert coming
engineer and to meet other expenses
OF tn coming commission.
The directors of the commerce body
do, not wish to dictate to the super
visors how the money is to be spent,
P. P. Woodbridge, secretary, said today.
but do feel that they should be given
an opportunity to act in an advisory
capacity in its distribution.
At tonorow's meeting it Is hoped to
work out definite schedule as to Just
how the money is to be distributed and
to set definite amount to be used as
the salary of the engineer so that there
can be no arguments when selection
Is made.
The members of the zoning commit
tee of the commerce chamber are all
men who are familiar with the real
estate and political situation in the
county and who have been in 1t long
enough to be entirely familiar with
problems to be faced by the zoning
commission.
The members of the committee are:
Ashton Jones, chairman: Robert H.
Forman, State Senator Frank L. Ball.
Delegate, Hugh Reid, A. F. Thelander
and A. j. Porter.
