ROADHOUSES PLAN
TO EvADE LICENSE
Considering Dances on Only
One Night of Each
Week.
BY GEORGE PORTER,
STAN Correspondent of The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO. Md. June S.
Proprietors of roadside establishments
in Prince Georges County which NOM
inally would come under the terms of
the new roadhouse law are deciding
to curtai their dance programs rather
than pay the 500 fee for q roadhouse
license
Three men in the last two days have
applied for information concerning the
new licenses at the ONCE of the county
commissioners and upon being informed
that they may hold public dances once
a week without securing a license, but
II they permit dancing more frequently
they will have to obtain one, all have
announced their intention of limiting
dancing in their establishments to once
week.
Those who have applied so far have
all been owners Of small businesses, who
did not believe they would derive SUI
f1cient revenue from additional dance
programs to justify their buying road
house license.
One of those who applied was the
owner of a soft drink stand at Forest
vile, who now holds dances in the room
back of the place on Wednesday nights.
He planned to arrange for dancing on
Saturday nights also, but on being ad-
vised by M Hampton Magruder, counsel
to the board of county commissioners,
that such a move would place his stand
in the category of roadhouse, as de-
fined in the new law. decided to con-
tinue with but one dance program a
week.
The law defines roadhouse as any
restaurant. cafe, lunchroom. hotel. club
or inn, operated for profit. where public
dancing is permitted more than once
week. Considerable care was given
to this definition by the County's dele
CATION in the recent State Legislature
and an effort was made TO have the en-
tire bill so worded that it would rid the
county of undesirable resorts while at
the same time not impose undue hard
ships on legitimate refreshment bust
ness or affect charitable institutions
which give dances.
None of the larger and better known
roadhouses in the county has so far
made application for a license. 1t was
said at the office of the county COM
missioners yesterday, although they
must do so in time to advertise two
weeks in advance of the hearing to be
conducted by the commissioners on
their applications on June IS or be fined
or discontinue operations.

PRINCE GEORGES NEW
SCHOOLS READY 1880
Structures to Be Erected From Pro
ceeds of $2O7 900 Bond Issue
Authorized by Legislature.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

UPPER MARLBORO Md, June g.
Most Of the new schools and additions
to be built in Prince Georges County
from the proceeds of the S207 900 bond
issue, authorized by the last session of
the Legislature, will not be ready for
occupancy until September, 1880. Eff
forts. however. will be made to speed
construction of the new school at Brad
bury Heights and the addition at River
dale. as they are held to be urgently
needed. The bonds for the school con-
Struction program will not be sold for
a while in order that a study may be
made of the market, with view TO get
ting the best possible premium.
At Bradbury Heights the present
four room two-Story old frame building
located on a small plot of ground, is
to be replaced by an eight-room brick
building, costing $4,000. Efforts are
being made to obtain a site of five
acres and 1t is hoped to have the build
ing ready for occupancy by next Christ
mas. At present, because of the
cramped quarters, some of the pupils
are attending only in the morning and
others in the afternoon.
At RiYerdale portable building is
IN use 10 handle the OVernoW. II Is
planned to do away with this structure
and erect $4,000 addition to the
present permanent school, The addi-
ton will contain four rooms and an
auditorium. giving the town a l0-room
building. 1t also is planned to buy ad-
oitional ground for which $4,000 is
available.
Work has been started on $500

pills at Brandywine, and a two-room
building for colored pupils at Meadows
erected at a cost of 81 200, is now vir.
tually finished. Each of the project!
has received aid from the Julius Rosen'
valid fund. which makes $700 available
foc. two-room colored schools and $40(
available for one-room schools Il certain
conditions are met. Both the Brandy
wine and Meadows schools, accordin.
TO plans. would have been finished las
year, but delay in securing titles wa!
experienced in both cases.

REACH AGREEMENT
ON ROAD SURF AGING
Conference Settles Issue
Over Oxon Hill and Land
over Highways.
Bv a stan Correspondent.

a
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. June g.
The question Of the type of surface to
be used on two of the important lateral
roads scheduled to be constructed I'M
der the S550.000 bond issue in Prince
Georges County this year was tenta-
lively settled at conference between
county leaders and officials OF the State
Roads Commission. 1t was announced
at the Office of the county commission
erS today.
The roads involved are the Landover-
Upper Marlboro road, via Oak Grove
and the lateral road from Gordon's
corner on the Washing on LeonardtoWn
road to Hunts corner on the Livings-
ton road.
Gravel VS.. Concrete.
The latter road covers a distance Of
about miles and the county COM
missioners had recommended it be con-
Structed of gravel but the State roads
engineers were of the opinion it should
be built of concrete. At the confer
cnce it was agreed to build the road of
macadam and complete approximately
one and one-half miles of it this year.
similar difference of opinion eX-
listed over the Landover- Marlboro road,
which the commissioners recommended
be built of gravel. The roads COM
mission. at the latest conference, agreed
to this If the gravel is available and
an investigation TO ascertain II the
gravel can be found is now being con-
Quoted.
Important Link.
This road is II miles long and an
important connecting link between the
county seat and the upper part of
Prince Georges. The State Roads Com
mission which, as rule, does not
care to build gravel roads as their
upkeep is so much greater than con-
crete roads. at first objected to using
gravel for a surface of the LandoVer-
Marlboro road. The commission also
objected on the ground that it Is its
policy whenever a road is started of
concrete to finish it with the same
material. and a small portion OF the
Landover road from the Defense High
wav to the grade crossing, has been in
place more than year. If built OF
concrete the road would only be ex-
tended as far as Largo at present.
Considerable pressure was brought to
bear. however, with the result that 1t
now appears the road will be con-
structed OF gravel.
Present at Conference.
The conference at which the agree
ment concerning the Gordon Corner
and Landover road was reached was
attended by George w. Waters jr.,
chairman of the Board of County Com
missioners: M. Hampton Magruder,
counsel to the board, and j. Enos Ray,
political leader, and representatives of
the Roads Commission.

SLATE SLAB FALLS,
KILLING : MINERS
Men Were Working Near
Wise, Va. When Fatal AC-
cident Occurred.
BY the Associated Press.


NORTON, Va, June 6>-Five men
were crushed to death near Wise. Va,
yesterday, a slab OF slate breaking loose
from the roof OF the Halcon mine in
which they were working and falling
on them.
The dead are Fred Hylton of Wise.
Robert Hall Of Ramsey, Coddie Gibson
OF near Wise Allen Stidham of Ramsey
and Carroll Miller of Hurricane.
The men had been preparing to lay
a track so that a coal-cutting machine
could work further into the mine and
remove large pillar in the way. This
was believed by mining men to have
caused the slab to fall.
1t was necessary to break the huge
piece Of slate into pieces before it could
be lifted high enough to release the
bodies.
Claude Bledsoe. superintendent of the
mine. declared that he had tested the
cutting machine route only 10 minutes
before the slate fell and that there was
nothing at that time to indicate the
danger Of any of the roof breaking
loose.
