WILLIAM B. SMOOT,
81, DIES AT SHORE
Alexandria's WeaIthiest Citizen
Expires at Resort, Where He
Was Spending Summer.
NneciaI pispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16.-wil-
liam B. Smoot, 70, one of this city's
best known and its wealthiest citizen,
died yesterday at Atlantic City, N. j.,
where he had gone with his wife to
spend the Summer. The deceased had
been in failing health for about two
years.
Mr.. Smoot is survived only by his
widow, Mrs. Margaret Gator Smoot. He
was son of the late John B. Smoot
and a cousin of William S. Smoot,
former mayor of this city. His body
will be brought to his residence, S04
Prince street, today. Funeral arrange
ments have not been completed.
The deceased had not been active in
business for the past few years, but
formerly was president of G. C. Smoot
81 Sons, who operated a large tanning
industry here, and also had plants in
North Carolina. He was known TO
have given considerable sums to chari-
ty, but only few knew he was doing
so, as he made his gifts in q quiet
way
Mr.. Smoot was the original president
of the Mount Vernon Highway Associa-
ton, which originated the idea for the
Mount Vernon Boulevard, now under
construction. He was also o vestryman
of st. Pauls Episcopal Church here
and a member OF the Maryland Club.

SEAT PLEASANT, Md, June Is
Seat Peasants elusive fire bug is active
again and more intrepid than ever.
Not satisfied with starting fires, he
now adds insult to injury by attempting
to cripple the fire engine by stealing
gasoline from the tank and using the
fluid to start the blaze.
At least such apparently was the
plan followed early yesterday when the
Atlantic & Pacific store on Roosevelt
avenue was set afire.
Firemen, rushing to the fire house in
response to an alarm, found the cap on
the gasoline tank of the engine had
been removed and thrown on the floor.
Although Chief Albert Morgan Is not
sure whether any gasoline was stolen,
he said the removal of the cap would
relieve pressure on the gas line and
make it difficult to start the engine.
The A. g. P. store is only a short
distance from the fire house, and Capt.
George Lincoln thinks it quite possible
that gasoline from the fire engines tank
was used to saturate the outside boards
on the rear wall of the building before
setting them af1re.
The blaze was confined to this wall
through the prompt work of the fire.
men, and damage was estimated at
500. w. w. Huntington and his fam
lily, who were asleep In an apartment
over the store, were awakened and led
to safety without danger.

BALTIMORE, June 16.-CIaiming
that exorbitant charges of the WASH

j. Notz of 1000 Connecticut avenue,
Chevy Chase, has appealed to the Pub

In his letter Mr.. Notz says, In part:
1.-THE Washington Gas Light Co. re-
ferred me to you. We are certainly
having trouble with our gas meter and
would like you to give us some advice on
this matter.
I'VE have lived in this house only a
little over year, and every month our
gas bill is getting higher and higher,
regardless Of how much we ake econ
omizing in using gas.
Every one here In Maryland Is tired
of these high gas rates and II the
Maryland authorities will not act soon
and make 1t more agreeable and nor
NAL, financially, to live here in Mary

here and people will go elsewhere"

REQUEST RENEWED
{. FOR GAS STATION
RoSemont Citizens Ired at
Plan to Establish Plant
In Their Section.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 16-Citi-
gems of the Rosemont section of this
city are up in arms again over the re-
newal of the proposal to locate a gaso-
line filling station near the corner OF
King street and Russell road here. The
proposition was rejected two years ago
by city council following strong protest
City council, at an informal meeting
last Thursday, received an application
from Robert F. Downham, owner of the
property on which it is proposed to 10
cate the station, on behalf of the
Standard Oil Co., for a permit to estab-
lish the station. Council, it is expected,
will bring the matter up for public
hearing at Thursdays open meeting.
1t is anticipated that residents of the
RoSemont section will have much
harder time stopping the proposed sta
ton this time than they did two years
ago, since the removal of the proposed
location a few feet further down King
street places the location in a business
zone. The other location was a resi-
dental area, and required the consent
of so per cent Of the surrounding prop
erty owners and was also against the
coming Of Rosemont, which is a strictly
residential section.
When the matter was up two years
ago the George Washington National
Masonic Memorial Temple Association
also protested against the location of
the station, as it would be situated
right at the base Of the present Masonic
temple now being completed. They are
also expected to add their voice against
the location of the station in this in
stance.

FAIRFAX, Va, June 16.-Deputy
Clerk E. r. Holbrook calls attention to
an existing misunderstanding of the
time for the opening of the bass fishing
season In Virginia. The last Legislature
adopted a law advancing the opening
of the season from July l to June Is,
but inasmuch as this law does not be-
come effective until July /, 1880, no
change in the opening of the season
will be made until June Is, 1881. Many
fishermen have been laboring under the
impression that the season this year
opened yesterday.

commissioner of game and inland fish
cries for this congressional district, will
speak over the radio from station
WJSV Wednesday afternoon at O'Clock
on Game and Fishing Laws in Vir-
ginia." The changes in the State law
