Soon; More Pipe Line
Received.

Drilling operations on the Washing

several days pending the arrival of a
number of lengths of pipe line, were
resumed today by the Giles Drilling
Corporation of New York, which is ex-
ploring the subsoil to supply data for
the proposed sunken gardens program

Although the engineers have gone
down 100 feet below the surface, they
said solid bedrock has not yet been

Opposing Counsel Holds
Court Has Right to Enjoin
Proposed Meeting.t
HOLD COMPLAINT LACKS
SUFFICIENT SIGNERS
Compliments Willing for Dissolu-
ton of Corporation Under
Court Order.

With Monday set as the day for a
meeting of the stockholders of the
Wardman Mortgage e. Discount Cor
poration to consider dissolving the
corporation, Judge William P. Woods of
the Corporation Court of Alexandria is
celebrating on the plea of a group of
stockholders who applied for a receiver
and for an injunction to prevent the
proposed stockholders meeting.
Judge Woods took the case under
advisement late yesterday after listen
ing for two hours to arguments of
opposing counsel. Attorneys Harry F.
Kennedy and Harry A. L. Barker of
counsel for the group seeking court
intervention, argued that the answer
filed early yesterday by the mortgage
and discount corporation was not Suf-
ficient. They took the position that
under the laws of Virginia, the court
has jurisdiction to name receiver and
enjoin Mondays meeting, and they
urged such action.
Claims Lack Of Petitioners.
Attorney Daniel Thew Wright, ac-
companied by Attorney Meredith M.
Daubin, argued that the bill Of COM
plant was not joined in by a sufficient
number of stockholders to give the
court Jurisdiction to name receiver.
He contended that under Virginia law
Is per cent of the stockholders would
have to join in the petition.
In the answer filed early yesterday,
Attorney Wright set forth that the
directors deemed it advisable and for
the benefit of the corporation that 1t
be dissolved. He commended, however,
that the directors have taken the prop
er legal steps for that purpose by
passing an appropriate resolution and
then calling the meeting of the stock
holders for october 20 to act on the
resolution.
Want Court Order.
In the argument of the case yes
terday afternoon Attorney Kennedy
declared that If the defendants want
the corporation dissolved, the COM
plainants are willing, but want the dis
solution under court order.
The arguments of opposing counsel
were devoted to an elaboration of the
contentious set forth in the bill of
complaint and in the answer. The
petition for receiver and injunction was
filed early this week by Robert B.
Theordore S. Grape and
Charles D. Davis, stockholders of the
mortgage and discount corporation.
Those listed as defendants were the
Wardman Mortgage and Discount Cor
poration and Harry Wardman, Thomas
P. Bones, Henry J. Robb, j. Floyd Cis-
sci, Robert N. Taylor, K. Parrish Wood,
ir., and James d. Hobbs.

JURY VALIDITY ATTACKED.
Two Petitions AIIege Body That In

Two additional attacks on the validity
of the grand jury which indicted Herr

operator, for the murder Of Mary A.
Baker have been filed in the District
Supreme Court.

on behalf of Roy Marks, charged with
white slavery, call the attention of the
court to the fact that George A. En-
mons, who, he declares, is the sole or
principal owner of George A. Emmons.
INC, September 2 last, while serving on
tne grand jury accepted a contract
with the United States to furnish to the
coast Guard OF the Treasury Depart
ment guns and ammunition and thus
assumed contractual relations with the
United States, which would disuualify
MN for service on the grand jury.
There are still pending a number Of
attacks on the validity of any Summer
grand jury on the theory that there is
no law permitting the swearing in Of q
July grand jury. The presence of a
woman pensioner of the United States
on the grand jury last year resulted
IN the dismissal of an indictment
against Robert A. Mcpherson and the
resubmission of the case to another
grand jury which refused to indict. A
NUMBER OF other cases had to be re-
submitted for the same reason.

High Place of Flowers
in Art of Decoration

We are indebted to the flowers for
what happiness their beauty affords
us, to many for their fragrance, and
for the Joy and pleasure In growing
them in our gardens, but the extent
of our Indebtedness does not end here,
according to flower enthusiast.
"Early In the history Of art the
flowers lent their aid to decoration"
he says. "The acanthus, which gave
its leaves to crest the capital Of the
Corinthian column, the roses conven-
tionalized in the rich fabrics Of an
cient Persia, until they have been
thought sheer inventions of the weav-
er, are among the first items Of an In
debtedness which has steadily grown
in volume until today, when the de-
signers who find their inspirations In
the flowers are vast and increasing
host. In a modern mansion Of the
best type the outer walls are enriched
with the leonine beauty of the sun
flower; within, the mosaic floors, the
silk and paper hangings, repeat
themes suggested BY the vine, the wild
clematis and the mayfower. The
stained glass windows, from New
York, where their manufacture excels
that Of any other city In the world.
are exquisite with boldly treated lilies,
poppies and columbines."
