County Engineer F. N. Larkin

This reservation, comprising
about 1000 acres, was formerly

considerable tax revenue was de-

however, the county has been de

all roads, several of which are

cost to taxpayers of several thou

county officials that the area
would soon revert TO the county,

Fort Humphreys preclude the
possibility of its repossession.

Deprived of it's land and it's

that it should no longer be
obliged to foot the road bills.
The conference concluded with
the understanding that the War

Asks Aid of Daughters
OF Revolution in Move

The aid of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, now host
esses to the Women's Patriotic
Conference on National Defense,
is sought by the Back-to-the-DlS-
trict Association, which seeks to
have the part of Virginia origin
ally in the District returned to it.
The original District line, 10
miles square, was laid off by
George Washington, and included
part of what is now Arlington
county. This territory was ceded
back to Virginia in 1846.
In a letter to Mrs. Lowell
Fletcher Hobart, president general
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution and chairman of the
defense conference, j. Cloyd
Byars, chairman of the Back-to-
the-District Association, says:
In the light of recent develop
ments, particularly the complica-
tions which now confront the Ma

Commission, and the Fine Arts

The report was prepared by the
famous Kitty Costello, former pro-

named Yates. Kitty posed as a

Several thousand dollars were
spent in one short week to get the
Information. Nearly all the evi-
dence was obtained at downtown

When the Senatorial barrage
is opened up it is expected the
Prohibition Bureau will be asked
to explain why no action ever
was taken against the individuals

tion of charges against Herbert
and John j. Quinn, former as
sistant to Herbert, who recently
was dismissed after secret charges
had been filed against him.
IS Per Cent Called Corrupt
When the Senators open fire,
they are expected to charge that
a large proportion of the pro.
hibition agents are corrupt. One
employe of the bureau estimates
that virtually all Of them are
corrupt. A former agent eSti
mates that rs per cent of them
are crooked.
All of the charges have been
brought to the attention of the
White House during the past few
weeks. President Hoover has not

Friends of Frank S. Flynn, Pro
