DENIAL OF SPECIAL
POLL APPEAL ASKED
Necessity for Rebuilding Theater
Cited in Rover Brief 0ppos-
ing Petition.

Declaring that the question Of the
razing of Polls Theater, which the Dis
trict Court Of Appeals is being asked
by Sylvester z. Poll and the Shubert
Brothers Of New York, to prevent, is
now moot because the destruction of
the property has proceeded for six weeks
since the decision of Justice Jesse C.
Adkins of the District Supreme Court,
United States Attorney Leo A. Rover,
representing Secretary Of the Treasury
Mellon, today filed opposition to the Pc
tltion for special appeal from the de-
cision Of the lower court
Rover pointed out that practically all
the roof and parts of the sidewalks have
been removed, and the building could
not be used again for theater purposes
without reconstruction at an enormous
cost and could not be accomplished
without an appropriation from Con-
greSS.
The Secretary Of the Treasury recalls
the points decided In his favor by Jus
tice Adkins; that the suit is against
the United States, and that the petit
TONERS did not have q lease, but only
a monthly tenancy, terminabIe on no.
ttce that the United States needed rAe
property and that notice was given SO
as to end July last. He asks the pc
tition for the special appeal be denied.

Mount Vernon, Alexandria &
Washington Counsel Seeks
Solution of Problem.
WILL DISCUSS MEASURE
INVOLVING RIGHT OF WAY
Copy of Bill Drafted by Company
Regarding Route and Condemna-
ton Price Submitted.

The Mount Vernon, Alexandria &
Washington Railway Co., through At
torney Gardner Boothe, today sought a
conference of interested officials to eff
feet solution Of what to do with the
tracks Of that company which will
eventually be moved out of the area
involved in the Federal Governments
building program.
The tracks of the concern enter
Washington over Highway Bridge and
proceed to a terminal at Twelfth and
D streets. The effect of the Federal
building program will be to prevent the
use of any track east of Fourteenth
street and south of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., and to compel the concern to seek
some other terminal.
Bride to Call Farley.
Mr. Boothe wrote to Gen. Mason M.
Patrick, chairman of the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission, asking him to be
ference to be called by Corporation
Counsel william w. Bride in the near
future, which will be attended by coun-
sci for the company and representa-
tiveS Of the Park and Planning Com
mission and the Treasury Department,
which has charge of the building pro-
gram. At this conference a bill giving
the Government the right to condemn
the company's right-of-way in the area
mentioned will be discussed.
Mr.. Boothe submitted q CODY of a bill
drafted by the company, which gives to
the District Commissioners the power TO
change and relocate the route of the
street cars to permit the portion of the
streets in the Federal building territory
to be vacated and the tracks located
elsewhere "as may be to the best interest
and convenience of the public and with
as little injury as practicable to the
property Of the company" and giving
the Supreme Court of the District the
right to adjudicate the condemnation
price to be paid by the Federal Govern
ment to the company in case the parties
are unable to agree on the price The
relocation Is to be subject to the an
proval of the Federal Public Buildings
Commission.
Bill Contains No Details.
One of the routes under discussion,
it was learned today, was to take the
cars north on Fourteenth street to @
street. east on @ street to Eleventh
street, south on Eleventh street to z
street. west on z street back to Four
tenth street, with a terminal at some
undetermined point on this loop. Such
a loop would necessitate the construc-
ton of special work at Eleventh and
G streets to enable the cars to turn
at that point.
Another scheme is to have the cars
stop at the south end of the Highway
Bridge and there discharge their pas
sengers and transfer them to buses.
The bill contains no mention of any
definite route, being intended merely
as an authorizing act and leaving de-
tails to be worked out later.

Sympathetic Doctors Plan

During Christmas Day.

Government red tape, hospital regula-

not a strong enough combination to
prevent a broken-hearted father from
attending the funeral today of his
young son, killed in a Christmas tree
fire at his home last Sunday.
Bandaged by sympathetic physicians
of the Naval Hospital, John De Spears

ugly burns and forsook a hospital cot

De Spears was lowered into grave in

Hospital attaches and physicians had
sought to keep the distracted father
confined to his bed until his burns have
had a chance to heal, but De Spears
insisted on attending the funeral
services, regardless of his condition.
The father received his burns in a
frantic fight to save his son from the
flames of an evergreen tree which the
child had ignited with matches while
his parents slept in their home, at

COUNTY NOT ALARMED
BY SCARLET FEVER
Cases in Montgomery Not in Epi
demic Form and Health officer
Scouts Spread.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, December 23.-
Although scarlet fever is considerably
more prevalent in Montgomery County
than Is usual at this time Of the year,
which Is the season for that disease,
DR.. william T. Pratt, county health
officer, who Is In charge of the situation,
stated today that there is no danger of
an epidemic and no occasion for alarm.
With the last six weeks, according to
DR.. Pratt, something like IS cases have
developed in the county, most of them
recently, and more in the Bethesda area
than in any other section. All of them,
he stated, have been rather mild In
type and he considers that the peak has
been passed.
Everything possible to prevent spread
Of the disease Is done, DR.. Pratt said.
Not only are all children with the fever,
or suspected of having it, promptly
quarantined, but their contacts as well,
and as a further precaution the county
health officer and Miss E. Claire Tur-
ner, county health nurse, visit all chill
dren absent from the schools of the
neighborhoods where there are or have
been cases of the disease and given
thorough examinations.
1t is no longer deemed necessary or
advisable to close schools because of
scarlet fever, and such steps are not
contemplated In this county, DR.. Pratt
said,
