Former Dry Leader ConferS
With Commonwealth At
torney Cloth.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, June 19.-Harry NJ Douthitt.
former, Washington dry leader, until
recently owner of the Clarendon
Chronicle, today surrendered to county
authorities to face an indictment charg-
ing him with the attempted bribery of
Circuit Judge Howard W. Smith.
Douthitt went Immediately to the ONCE
of Commonwealth Attorney william G.
Cloth and conferred with him.
Douthitt stated it appeared very
strange to him that he should have
been indicted for the writing Of letter
which was intruSted to him as to its
receipt by Judge Smith and which re-
manned in his possession for period OF
10 days.
During this To-day period, he said,
he compared the type with samples
from various typewriters in the county
and then took 1t to the Bureau of
Standards in an effort to have the type
traced to its source
The letter bears his signature, he
admits. He denies, however, that he
had anything to do with writing it.
The letter itself offers to Judge Smith
the sum of $500 to decide in Douthitt's
favor in a suit instituted against the
latter by Morris A. Bealle. editor of
the Montgomery Independent of Rock
vile, Md. The $780, according to the
letter. was to have been furnished by
z. Brooke Lee, Maryland political
leader.

The break occurred with laundering
roar at o'clock this morning and
10000, 900 gallons of water swept down
the valley. All roads in this section of
the county have been closed and the
railroad trestle above Rouzerville Is so
weakened that trains are being re-
Routed
Toe FIRST alarm of the break was
spread through the valley by William
Renchoff, the railroad agent at Fair
field. who heard the roar and notified
nearby residents by telephone.
A party of Is high school girls from
Waynesboro, Pa. who were camping at
a cottage just below the dam, was saved
when Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Shryock,
their chaperons, got them out OF the

a minute to spare. The Blue Mount
Chocolate Co.'S factory. which is situat-
ed on a small rise of ground in the
middle of the valley, was not damaged,
but it was inaccessible early today.
The break came entirely unexpectedly,
In spite of the fact that all the streams
In this section are near flood stage and
the discovery of leak about the size
of a 50-cent piece near the base of the
dam a week ago. Engineers inspected
the structure few days ago and could
md no evidence of an increase in the
size of the leak and reported that no
danger existed.
The destruction of the dam creates
q serious situation at Camp Ritchie,
the first contingent of militiamen being
due to arrive there in less than two
weeks. The break, which was is feet
square, was high enough above the
bottom of the lake to keep approximate
" 100000 gallons of water still i'm
rounded, but this amount is considered
entirely inadequate for the accommoda-
ton of the troops who use the camp.
Work will be started Immediately in an
effort to have the dam temporarily re-
paired by July and the lake at least
partially filled.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June 19-The
long-standing controversy between the
town of Takoma Park and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Co. over the use of
public land in the Maryland town by
the transportation company as a siding
for the unloading of freight will be
heard in the Circuit Court here tomor-
row morning at 10 o'clock before Judge
Robert Peter.
The town attempted to GUST the rail-
road company from the use of this
space, so that the former could improve
it as a public park, but the railroad,
about a year ago, sought and obtained
a temporary injunction restraining the
town from interfering with the use of
the area for freight discharge. Towns
people declare that the matter is a
public nuisance.
