POTOMAC ISLAND HELD EXAMPLE
OF FINEST IN NATURAL PARKS
Garden Clubs of America Are
Urged to Emulate Work of
Biologists Field Club Here.
F. v. Covi|Ie Urges Support
to Oppose Power Develop
ment in River Near D. c.

Plummers Island. in the canyon of
| the Potomac River between Washington
and Great Falls, which is owned and
maintained in its natural state by the
Washington Biologists Field Club, was
pictured as an example of what mu-
nicipal wild park should be in an ad-
dress by Frederick v. Coville, botaniSt
Department of Agriculture. in an ad-
dress last week in New York before the
presidents of the Garden Clubs of
America. With this he coupled a plea
for support to block power development
at the falls.
Mr. Coville referred to report of
the committee on plants and flowers
presented by Mrs. Fairfax Harrison to
the first National Conference on Out
door Recreation in this city in 1924
urging the establishment of municipal
parks "in which there is complete pro-
lection of the wild vegetation"
When l consider what municipal
wild park should be-, said Mr.. Coville,
my mind always turns to a certain
island in the canyon of the Potomac
River between Washington and Great
Falls.
Island is Purchased.
Nearly 30 years ago group of sci
entific men obtained possession of this
island and afterward purchased 1t for
the purpose of keeping it forever in the
condition of wild beauty it then pos
SeSSed.
1--WE have succeeded I'M 70 the present
time, and we shall continue to succeed
in the future unless the engineers and
the power development men succeed in
their proposal to turn the beautiful
canyon OF the Potomac into a mill
pond In that event our Elysian fields
will lie drowned in water 10 feet deep.
1 trust that the members of the Garden
Clubs Of America will make up their
minds that that must not be done, for
it is the Senators and the Representa-
tives from your States and your towns
who will decide the matter.
Put to Best Use.
"It is my opinion that the canyon of
the Potomac from Washington to Great
Falls is most useful to the Nation II it
continues to be maintained as an out
door recreation ground for thousands
of hard-working Government employees
and as place of beauty and inspiration
for the people OF the whole country
when they visit the Capital of the Ma
tion. 1t is the broad aliuvial floor of
the canyon that affords the chief rec
reational usefulness Of the area. and
this would be submerged and destroyed
by any power development that involves
the damming of the Potomac between
Washington and Great Falls.
From our experience on our island
in the Potomac, Plummers Island, are
drawn the following suggestions regard
ing municipal wild parks:
Ordinary use of the park should be
confined to paths. These should be so
laid out as to take visitors to all in
teresting portions of the park. The
paths should be as narrow as may Suf-
flee to accommodate visitors.
Courteous Dictatorship.

be dictatorial, but the dictatorship

NeW Form of Insurance
Protection Sweeping Country
Both Sickness and Accidents Covered at a
Cost of Only $40 Year

No one should neglect protecting
themselves and family now that it
has been made so reasonable. The
daily newspapers are filled with hun
dreds of accounts of sudden tragedies
and misfortunes. Floods, fires, cpl
denies and violent storms take
startling toll of human life and limb.
Trains and the ever increasing auto
mobiles, with their hurrying to and
fro, are growing more dangerous every
day. It Is unwise to gamble with
fate when the next moment may
bring disaster.
The Commonwealth Casualty Com
pany is the oldest Phila. casualty
company. It's resources are guar
anteed: under the direct supervision
of state insurance departments. Over
$7,5O0,000 has been paid out in
claims.

TWO ARE INDICTED
IN BORGER MURDER
Former Deputy Constable Is
Charged With ASSasina-
tion of District Attorney.

BY the Associated Press.
STINNETT, Tex, November 49,
Former Deputy Constable Sam Jones
and Jim Hodges, both of Berger. were
indicted today by the Hutchinson
County grand jury for the assassina-
ton at Berger, September l3, of Dis
trict Attorney John A. Holmes. 1t was
understood that other indictments were
returned in the case, but no announce

Faces Bribery Charge.
Holmes assassination was the climax
of a reign of crime in Berger, mush-
room oil town, which led Gov. Dan
Moody to declare martial law there and
force the resignation of the Hutchin-
son County and Berger city admins
trations.
Jones and Hodges already were
charged with the crime. Jones was the
second person and the second officer
to be arrested under the reign of mar
tial law. At that time he was charged
with accepting bribe. Later he was
returned to Berger from Hobbs N
Mex, and the murder charge filed
against him. Hodges, manager Of a
boiler works, once was prosecuted by
Holmes in a pipe theft case.
Both men maintained their innocence
tonight. District Attorney Glen CAL
houn, however, expressed confidence
that the indictments would eventually
solve the Holmes mystery.
Shot Down in Garage.
1--WE will go to bat with these cases
as soon as possible" Calhoun said.
More evidence against Jones and
Hodges has been collected since their
arrest in the Holmes case"
Calhoun said that neither man had
made any statement and that the in
dictments rested on the testimony of
others.
Holmes was shot down as he was
putting his car in his garage on the
night of September Is. His wife, who
had just left the car, was short dis
tance away on her way to the house.

In an address before the Washington
Education Union, No. 1913, associated
with the Federation of Labor, meeting
at the Y. w. C. A., Eighteenth and
K streets, yesterday, Edward Keating,
editor of Labor, told members that the
opportunity for education through the
public press lies in the cooperation
of editors in publishing their views on
important news items.
Mr. Keating said he believed the
fact-finding side of the newspaper was
the primary purpose of journalism, but
particularly stressed the necessity for
publishing editorial opinion because of
its educational value.
The press should give more space
to the editorial side of its work." he
stated.
