Jap ANESE BEETLE
QUARANTINE SET
Entire District, Parts Of
Maryland and Virginia
Are Affected.

Secretary Jardine yesterday extended
the quarantine against the japanese
beetle to take in parts of Maryland and
Virginia and the entire Distritc of Co
lumbia.
The quarantine regulates the inter-
state movement of farm products, nur-
Sery stock and certain other materials,
including sand, soil, earth, peat, COM
post and manure. The restricted ter
ritory now includes Cecil County, Md;
the District of Columbia, the city of
Alexandria and Arlington County, Va. :;
all of Delaware north of Sussex County;
Rye township, in Perry County, Pa, and
IL townships in the southern part of
New Haven County, Conn.
Provisions of the quarantine require
inspection and certification of farm
products during the Summer from June
IS TO October Is, inclusive, with the ex-
ception of limited number of yege-
tables.
The quarantine was extended when
inspectors found that there was slight
infestatiOn in these areas.
The beetles, in larvae state, have
been unearthed in widely scattered Sec
tionS of the District, some on the Capt.
toll grounds and in the vicinity of
Union Station, others about the White
house grounds and in Potomac Park.
Small numbers of the grubs have been
located as far north as Chevy Chase.
Only one locality in Virginia, that
lying in or near Del Ray, Arlington
County, is known to be affected The
beetles in small numbers also have been
discovered in sections of Baltimore, al
though the more serious infestation is
In the extreme northern part of the
State.
Emerging from the larvae state in the
early Summer, the adult beetles feed on
the foliage of numerous fruit trees and
shrubs. AS grubs they burrow into the
roots of grasses and plants, working
considerable damage.

the road troubles.
Richard B. Tippett, q Baltimore at
torney, who acted as defense counsel
for several of those convicted in con-
nection with the populations, has made
charges that the amounts stolen were
vastly more than has been disclosed so
far. He appeared before the Nelligan
Commission yesterday and said that he
had about 40 witnesses. 1t is certain
that Mr.. Tippett. together with his wit
nesses. will be called before the grand
inquest. and all will be given full OPP
portunity to tell their stories, as the
administration Is represented as being
insistent that the investigation shall
be as thorough as it is humanity pos
sible to make it. Administration lead
ers say that they are not going to let
any one, insurgents or Republicans,
stand in the way of complete investi-
CATION. and the House leaders point out
that if the Senate members show dis
position to block it they will promptly
sever the committee and proceed under
their constitutional prerogatives as the
grand inquest of the State.

BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

STATEHOUSE, ANNAPOLIS, Md,
January 30.-Centering of the investi-
cations into the peculations in the
State Roads Commission of Maryland
in the joint grand inquest committee of
the Senate and House of Delegates of
the Maryland General Assembly doomed
today. Senator Harry o. Levin, Repub-
lican, representing the fifth Baltimore
district, through whose inSistence the
legislative investigation was made a
joint one to be conducted by members
from both houses of the Legislature, it
was announced. will present this recon-
mendation to the joint inquest commit
tee this afternoon. This is a result of
the attendance of the special committee
of the grand inquest at the governors
special commission in Baltimore, which
instituted it's investigation yesterday
The only flash in the Legislature on
the investigation yesterday, was the
passage by the Senate of resolution
introduced by Senator Joseph Allan
Coad, Democrat. of St. MaryS County
asking for the governor to send to the
Senate the report of the private &C
countants, who made a special audit
of the books of the State Roads Com
mission, following the first indications
of financial troubles in the organiza-
ton.
Senator Coad explained to the Senate
there was no other motive in his reso-
luton than to get before the Senate all
the official information possible so that
the Senators could vote intelligently
on any matter in connection with. the
road scandal, which was brought be-
fore it. He predicted a long drawn -out,
bitterly partisan fight on the whole
matter.
Report to Be Received.
The grand inquest committee, when
it convenes at o'clock this afternoon
here will receive the report of its spe-
cial committee which attended the gov
errors commission hearing in Balti-
more yesterday, and also will take up
the question of the employment of
counsel, on which the House already
has acted. 1t is probable that the at
torney will appear, at which time the
question of fees will be discussed.

commissions Of the road commission
troubles is expected to complicate mat
tiers, because of the probability that
the same witnesses might be wanted by
the two at the same time. 1t Is believed
the investigation will be centered in the
grand inquest, which has the full
powers to inquire into anything in the
State, and to put witnesses under oath,
and even power to put in those whom
it believes to be guilty of malfeasance
or misfeaSance in Office. 1t has been
made plain that the governor wants his
commission to go thoroughly into the
matter of road contracts. but he Is
also known to want the grand inquest
of the State to have a free hand for
most thorough investigation. and it
is not believed that he will stand in the
way of the commission, headed by John
j. Michigan of Baltimore, deferring its
investigation until after the legislative
committee completes its work.
Two of the counsel, Charles Nc
Henry Howard and Joseph c. France of
Baltimore, have accepted the legislative
calls for their services in the investl-
cation. and Senator Levin was named
a committee of one to ascertain whether
the third counsel, Alexander Armstrong,
Republican State leader and Republican
candidate in opposition to Gov. R1tchle
for the governorship would accept. The
Senate membership also is expected to
make nkoWn its wishes as to whether 1t
desires to appoint counsel on the COM
mittee, the three named having been
appointed by the House. However, it
was pointed out by the members of the
committee that the addition of other
counsel only means more expense to
the State, and it Is believed that with
the Republicans represented by one OF
their State leaders a full and complete
INVESTIGATION will be made.
Vacancy on Committee.
There is vacancy on the Senate
membership of the committee which
will have to be filled. It was made by
the insistence of Senator Walter j.
Mitchell of La Plata, Charles County,
Democratic floor leader, that he be re-
ieved because of the imputations made
in the House by Republican Floor Lead
er Joseph A. Wilmer that the Senator
had been mixed up in road extension
contracts. Senator Mitchell also urged
that Republican be named to serve
in his place. Mr. Wilmer also charged
that there could not be full and COM
plete investigation, with four Demo-
Gratis from the Senate and only one Re
publican on the committee. President
David G.. Mcintosh of the Senate is
expected to name the new member
today.

mittee and action on the recommends
ton to be made by Senator Levin for a
cessation of the activities of the Nelli-
gan Commission, as we'll as the employ

SCOUTS RALLY FRIDAY DRAWS
 RECORD CROWD
Many Boys Turn Out for Competition at Elks Hall
 on Friday Evening

Every boy in town seemed to be at the Scout Rally held last night at the Elks Hall and what a good time they all had. They kept continually on the run from the opening Scout Oath until the clos ing ceremony.
 After the report of the patrol leaders the Scouts played Patrols Alert" which took out lots of excess steam. Then the group was di- vided into six patrols who met in various corners of the hall to dis cuss what good turns the Scouts could do to help the town. Sug- gestions made were that the boys could assist elderly people in clean ing up their property whenever the opportunity afforded, that they could assist the city by helping keep the gutters clear of mud and that they could take the patrol on rope hike" which means each scout bringing ten or twelve feet of rope and the patrol going around town repairing fences, blanks, gates, or any other object which piece of rope, properly used, could im- prove. Many other suggestions were made but these were the most inn portant.
 Many laughs were had at the message relay which MT. Baker had the boys go through. The entire group was divided into three divi- sions and the message was given to the first man in each division who passed it on down the line. By the time it reached the end of the line it had about as much re-
