LEGISLATIVE PLAN
Representative Will Push I'M
portant Development Prof.
ects for Arlington.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, November 19.-Arlington
County is to receive a fair share OF the
efforts of Representative r. Walton
| Moore during the forthcoming session
of Congress. it was learned today.
| Among the pills to be fostered by him
are:
The Cramton Park bill, measure for
| the construction of a new Chain Bridge,
and the policing of the military roads
running from the Highway and Key
Bridges to Arlington National Cemetery
and Fort Myer.
1t is also pointed out that under the
provisions of the bill passed at the last
session of Congress, authorizing the con-
Struction of bridge across the river at
Great Falls, the work must be started
by April 81, 1880.
With the Arlington Memoria. Bridge
and the Mount Vernon Boulevard pro-
JectS assured and the matter Of a water
supply taken care Of, Representative
Moore can expend large amount OF his
efforts upon the success of the above
mentioned measures, he believes.
Park Bill Held Important.
Representative Moore considers the
Cramton Park bill the most important
measure that is pending, in so far as
Arlington County is concerned. Under
the provisions of this bill the State or
county affected, or both, would share
half of the expense of the development
of the George Washington Memorial
Parkway, extending from Mount Vernon
to Great Falls, the title to all Of the
lands acquired to be vested In the Fed
eral Government.
It is believed the chances for the pas
sage of this bill have been greatly en-
HANGED by the approval Of 1t that was
voiced by Gov. Harry F. Bryd when he
was acquainted upon recent visit here
with its full text and purpose.
OF a much less certain nature is the
bill for the construction of new Chain
Bridge, although Representative Moore
is to make a determined effort to bring
about its passage. While the present
bridge has been put in good condition,
it is subject to a limitation of tons,
which means that considerable i'm
portant traffic across the river is forced
to seek other routes.
The approaches to the bridge are
dangerous. he believes, the northern APP
proach involving q right-angle turn and
the southern approa h being a sharp
turn on a steep grade. At the last seS-
sion OF Congress, Representative Moore
introduced bill to appropriate the sum
of $4,000 to cover the cost of prelimi-
nary designs and estimates. While this
bill failed to pass at that time it is
hoped that it will be given more favor
able consideration at the coming term.
Policing Bill Also Lost.
Unsuccessful at the last term also was
the proposed bill for the policing of the
military roads. This bill passed the
Senate and failed in the House because
of two directors. The bill provides that

ALEXANDRIA ROAD
CONTRACT AWARDED
Man Who Built Wilson Boulevard
Will Construct Lower Highway
to Virginia City.
By q stan Correspondent Of The star

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star
CLARENDON, Va, November 49,
John H. Olcott, contractor, who has
just finished the widening and recon-
struction of Wilson Boulevard from
Rosslyn to Clarendon, was notified yes
terday that he has been awarded the
contract for the widening of the WASH
ington- Alexandria pike.
According to the specifications Of the
contract the road will be widened to 80
feet from point opposite the Southern
Oxygen plant in South Washington to
the new Alexandria city limits at
Four-mile Run. Olcott's bid was
$77,79524. The road will have concrete
shoulders six feet in width and an
asphalt center.
It is hoped, Wolcott said, that con-
struction can be completed within the
next two weeks. During the construc-
ton it is expected that traflc will be
detoured via the Military road and
Mount Vernon avenue, the State having
waited until the county completed the
reconstruction of the latter highway
before starting its work.
With the completion Of the "lower"
road project the State will have ac-
complished the largest road-building
project ever attempted in Arlington
County, having this year widened an
other section of the Lee Highway and
constructed Glebe road the surfacing
of which is to be done within the next
| few weeks.

LEESBURG, Va, November 19.-Tes-
timony of telephone company en-
ployes. working on a lonely road that
leads through Ciark's Gap Woods, three
miles from LeeSburg. today shattered
the alleged framed-ur story of M. B.
Wenner' 20 years old, of Lovetsville,
who reported that he was held up last
Saturday afternoon and robbed Of $3.50.
Wenner was arrested this morning by
Deputy Sheriff L. T. McKenny and
charged with embe2zleMent.
the accused man said that he was driv-
ing back from the Hamilton National
Bank at Leesburg to the farm where he
was employed when he was crowded Of
the road by another automobile in
which there were three men, two white
and one colored. His car crashed into a
fence. he said, and one of the men
alighted from the other automobile,
holding a club in a threatening man
ner, and took the money from his
pocket. The $3.50 belonged to other
employees of the farm where Wenner
worked, and it had been his custom to
journey to the bank each Saturday to
cash checks for them.
Men working on the telephone lines,
however, failed to corroborate the story
of Wenner that such a car as he had
described passed along that road Satur-
day. Inasmuch as it was not a busy
ti1oroughfare, even casual observers
would have noticed what vehicles had
passed along the road that afternoon.
An investigation resulted in the arrest
of Wenner.
