Staying SUSPECT
REFUSES TO TALK
Wood Declines to Answer
Questions Concerning Death
of Charles N. Joyce.

Following an afternoon of question:
ing, Deputy Sheriff Harry woodward of
Arlington County announced last night
he had been unable to get any in
formation from James A. Wood, muir
der suspect, WHO was arrested earlier in
the day by Washington police in con-
nection with the killing of Charles N
Joyce, 56-year-old Arlington County
lawyer.
woodward said that Wood refused to
make any answer to any of the ques-
tons that were propounded to him
by Commonwealth Attorney William c.
Cloth. whose return was expected late
last night following day spent away
from the county.
Although no one witnessed the STAY
ing Of Mr.. Joyce, with whose murder
Wood is charged, he was seen to flee
across the garden Of Joyce Immediately
following the shooting, which occurred
August %.
Police were told that Wood, who has
spent seven years in St. EliZabeth's
Hospital as result of the shooting, De-
cember S, 1920. of Emmett Lanier in
Washington, was released from the hos
pital as result of legal action taken
by Joyce as his attorney. Earlier in
the year, it was said, Wood became a
ledger In Joyce'S home at 313 Whalon
avenue, Aurora Heights, remaining there
until the shooting occurred.
The only testimony from which to
base a murder charge against Wood
was furnished by neighbors, who. saw
him running away. Added to this testi-
mopy authorities have the mans former
record and the unusual circumstances
under which he left the Joyce home.

Gets Court Penalty Says Others
Complained.

Romeo Guareldi, a musician, of the

the dog writhing in pain on the ground.
Buck" was taken to dog hospital,

did it after receiving complaints from

but that there were much better
methods that could have been used to
quiet the beast.

.PEPcQ| MAY BUILD.
new SUBSTAT|0N
Negotiations Started for Site
After Government Buys .
18th St. Property.

Negotiations are under way for pur-
chase by the Potomac Electric Power
Co. Of site for a second new SUBJ
station which will take part of the load
now carried by the substation at Four
tenth and B streets, bought yesterday
by the Government for the new De-
partment of Labor building.
Already one new substation is virtu-
ally complete. on street. between
Ninth and Tenth streets. and negotia-
tions, it is understood. are well along
for acquisition of another downtown
site for another substation.
s3,6oo,00o Deal Closed.
These new Substations will be part of
the big task confronting the power COM
pany In decentralizing its Offices and
plant from the present location, all Of
which was bought yesterday by the
Treasury. Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Heath signed a contract in
offer of the company for two squares,
bounded by B and c, Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets. On these two
squares are located not only the main
offices of both the Potomac Electric
Power Co, and the Washington Rail-
way & Electric Co., but also the big
substation., and number Of miscel-
laneous buildings. used for garages,
blacksmith shop, storerooms. and ware
houses.
while the price fixed in the con-
tract was agreed to by both the Gov
eminent and the company, it is under
stood that II will not cover the loss
which the company will suffer by reason
of the removal, decentralization, ana
the increased cost of doing business.
To Move Main Office.
The MAR. offices of the company will
be moved from the building at Four
tenth and c streets to the new To-
cation on the northeast corner OF
Tenth and E streets, as soon as the
new building is completed, within about
eighteen months.
Satisfaction was expressed on all
sides yesterday at the successful con-
clusion to the negotiation for Govern
ment purchase of the old site, which
have been going on for several months.
An interesting phsae OF the mateer was was
that the company was dealing not
only with the Federal Government,
which has right of eminent domain. and
could acquire the property by force,
through condemnation, but also WIN
one Of its largest customers as well.
The substation at Fourteenth and B
is a necessary step in the distribution
of electricity from the power plant at
Benning to the ultimate consumer. and
cannot be. eliminated, simply because
the. Government has purchased the
place. Two new substations at Least
are under way, the one on street,
being, virtually complete. A substation
is equipped to- step up electricity 70
higher voltage, to change alternating
current to direct current, and for other
purposes. The substation at Fourteenth
and G. now supplies all current Tor the
whole downtown section OF Wasnlns-
ton.

Bingham Favored
In Latest Fashion

Ginghams are looming large on the
horizon. 1t is really amazing to see the
air of smartness and the note Of nov
city that have been achieved in resort
costumes made from frockS and en-
sembles of this comparatively ineXpen-
sive material that has been a staple
for childrens frocks and house frocks
for so long.
Bingham really deserves the. favors
that have been showered upon It, for
there are few cotton materials that
take the dye so well as Bingham, that
fade so little or that do so little shrink
ing. But remember that quality counts
in gingham even more than in most
other materials. Coarsely woven, cheap
Bingham shrinkS and says. The better
grades do not.
Checked and plaid ginghams are
especially we'll liked at present, but
there are plain colored ginghams sug-
costing chambray that are also in the
picture. All sorts of interesting shades
and cOlors have been used for these
new ginghams that we do not ordinarily
associate with this material, and the
very fact that it is used with the same
care and precision to make the smart
| new resort sports frocks that would be
used on less usual or more expensive
material contributes enormously to its
good repute at present.
Velveteen is another cotton material
which has come into a place OF distinc'
| ton. It is no longer used as a cheap
substitute for silk velvet, but is uset
| for Its own merits. The finger-tip length
velveteen jacket Is used to complete
many Of the new resort ensembles.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE

Adverse planetary influences will be
strong tomorrow, when astrologers find
the aspects sinister.
There may be a sense Of being
thwarted or retarded in important
activities while this configuration pre-
walls, and for this reason the utmost
concentration on any task is recon-
mended.
Under this rule. dissensions, quarrels
and serious misunderstanding are sup
posed to be encouraged. Nations, as
well as individuals, are likely TO be af-
fected.
Again astrologers see war clouds and
government changes, which are really
part of the changing plan on which the
Old World IS now moving.
The spirit of irritability and hyper
sensitiveneSS which will affect many
persons should be quickly quelled by all
who are wise.
This is a time to search for the vir-
tues rather than the faults of persons
or nations, but even peace organizations
probably will be disturbed by alterca-
lions and differences Of opinion.
At this time men in high Offices or
positions much envied may be targets
for criticism and even abuse.
There is threatening sign for law
makers, and members Of Congress may
find new difficulties in serving their
constituents.
The seers advise delay in seeking
positions or making representations for
increase in salaries. The rule is for
bidding.
Political rewards also may be exceed
ingly elusive under this sway, which Is
read as indicating lack of interest on
the part of successful candidates.
1t is an unlucky day for many things
in which women are interested. They
will find home the safest place for all
who are sensitive to rebuff or failure.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is may
have year OF many pleasures, but they
should resist the temptation to spend
too much money. Danger lies behind
their beSt-liked Sport..
Children born on that day are usual
ly exceedingly buoyant In nature and
brilliant In mind. Many Of the subjects
OF this sign are exceedingly witty.

Fashions of Today Will
Look DOwdy Tomorrow

How will the fashions of today look
so or even 80 years from now? OF
course, they will look quaint and old
fashioned and decidedly grotesque.
Young girls then will wonder how young
girls of today ever consented to dress
themselves in such dowdy clothes any
way. In what will this quaintness con-
sist? What details of the present mode
will seem especially outlandish?
Having not the slightest notion of
what sort of clothes women will be
wearing generation or two hence, 1t Is
difficult to answer those questions-and
yet after having spent an entire morn
ing looking at pictures OF women'S
clothes as they have been worn for the
last few centuries in Europe, there are
certain tendencies of present-day fash
ions that strike one as especially char
acteristic of the day-certain facts of
the present silhouette that depart most
decidedly from the form Of women'S
fashion-just as the exaggeratedly high
waistline of the Empire period did over
a hundred years ago or the terrifically
wide sleeves and wide ankle-length
skirts did in 1880. the hustle in 1880 or
the choker collar for daytime wear at
the end of the century.
am inclined to think that even less
than 80 years from now present-day
clothes will look, more than anything
else, bedraggled. They will look as if
women had all been thrown overheard
and then had crawled back on board
through the portfolios.
That Is precisely what present-day
clothes do look like after one has sat
urated oneself with the costumery of
other periods. There is, relatively
speaking, so little jauntineSs, so little
perkiness about our clothes when we
are most satisfied with them. Our CIR
dies and hip drapery sag downward at
the back In a way that would have been

considered quite pathetic at any other
period. Skirts hang aSkew and neither
frocks nor hats are often the same on
both sides
Never before in Christendom were
clothes so persistently meager, leaving
so much of the body bare or relatively
so. They take on a few inches more
here only to lose a few there. Eve
ming gowns are longer. but backs are
barer. The fashion for sleeveless day
frocks has been revived for Southern
wear and sleeves will doubtless be
scarce when Summer comes. The bare
backed tennis frock has set the fashion
for many frocks that will be worn of
the courts.
Perhaps this is but the beginning of
new era in clothes consciousness. We
may all-men as we'll as women-be on
the eve of a period when clothes will
be far less bulky and substantial than
they have been among Europeans and
their descendants for centuries, and
then the present fashion for bare legs
and bare backs will be regarded as a
real transition rather than a caprice
The fashion for French heels for all
occasions save actual sports will doubt
less be regarded as popularity OF the
present fashion era. Not since the
period of powdered wigs and panniered
petticoats before the French Revolution
have high heels been so highly favored
and then they were the privilege of the
leisure classes. Working girls could not
then afford such Injuries as they do
nowadays.
Never since hats came into fashion
to supplant the yelled headdress of
the Middle Ages have head coverings
conformed so closely to the contours
of the head. Thirty years from now
1t may seem as if women of today We'd
with each other to see which could
appear to have the smallest head.

it appear simultaneously. But If his
howls do not bring mother and in his
hunger he accepts this new continuance
and finds it not so bad, after several
trials it will become an old story and
mother can go away with no fear that
she will return several hours hence to a
baby exhausted by crying and a house,
hold rent asunder because of it.
Perhaps some reader is bubbling an
grily at the idea that baby should
have his dependence upon his mother
loosened. But this is just another for
ward step. Baby cannot always be held
just by his mother; be fed by her,
bathed by her, entertained by her.
Relatives, friends and strangers are
part Of life Baby has to get used to
them early or he acquires an unnatural
aversion and sometimes terror of
strangers, even Of relatives. Mother
may enjoy this sign of his faith and
dependence upon her as the one solid
thing in his existence, but we are train
ing baby for the future. Mothers begin
their sacrifices very early in life, and
one of the earliest is to recognize that
she does baby a real injury when she
chains him tightly to her alone by af-
lection and his initial reliance upon
her.
