TWO FOUND KILLED
ON TOP OF BOX CAR
No identifying Marks on Bod

Potomac Yards.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, September 10
Lying sprawled on top Of a box car,
their skulls fractured, two young men
were found dead when a freight train
pulled into Potomac Yards here last
night. They are believed to have been
killed instantly when struck by an
overhead bridge or tunnel while steal
ing ride on the train.
No marks of Identification were found
on the clothing of either of the two
men, and police here have no clue as
to their identity, with the exception of
belt buckles, one initiated 'P" and the
other H" The men were about Is
years old and had apparently been dead
only short time when found.
The train, a Baltimore g. Ohio
freight, was made up in Baltimore and
passed through Washington without
stopping, arriving at the yards at GAO
pm. When the train passed the r. o.
tower, just north of Long Bridge, in
Washington, a railroad employee noted
a man lying on the car and called Po-
tomac Yards, with a view to having
the "panhandlers" taken from the
train. 1t was there that the gruesome
find was made.
In charge of the freight, which was

The discovery was made by Special
Officer Sherertz and was reported to
Alexandria police by j j. Kelley, gen.
eral yardmaster at Potomac Yards.
Local police, headed by Sergt. George
Everly, made the investigation. and
after the bodies had been viewed by
Coroner T. Marshall Jones they were
removed to Demaine's undertaking es-
adjustment here.
Police marveled at the fact that the
men remained on top of the car after
being struck. as the train must have
come some distance after they were hit.
One man was lying TO the right Of
the running board on top of the car
and the other near the hand brake
wheel.

Later, responding TO his nomination,
Gov. Richie gave what he described as
his creed as a Democrat. He outlined
his beliefs tfusly:
Il believe that the people who are
lieve that the Government should mind
its own business
You cannot make people temperate
by passing a prohibition law.
Hits Tariff Measure.
you cannot make people prosperous
by building a tariff wall which in
creases unemployment, because 1t de-
stroys our export trade and thus elimi-
mates the only way to absorb our surplus
production, and which also drives our
manufacturers to other countries, and
thus give employment to their labor in
stead of ours.
mo makeshift economic measures
which attempt to lift up any part of
the population by its boot straps is ever
sound.
The people should be free to work
out their own problems
The purpose of good government
should be to see that every one has the
same access to the door of opportu-
nifty.
Never in the history Of our country
have we drifted so far from the demo-
cratic principles on which our Govern
ment was founded as we have under
the present National Republican admin
istration when the Government is seek
ing to do everything and is accom-
plishing little. except disrespect for law
IF this will o. the wisp lures us on
much further the powers it permits to
over our daily life will some
day destroy the last remnant of liberty
as we used to know it,
The convention also formally nomi-
mated Thomas H. Robinson for attor-
ney general, William S. Gordy for State

Engineer G. L. Kinnier and defeated
when presented to the people in an
election. The principal change advo-
Gated was the adoption Of a definite
plan of construction over a period of
years, so much work to be done each
year until the trunk lines have reached
every portion of the county.
The method of financing advocated
by Kinnier was approved by Saville
as the most practical. This consisted
of 30-cent levy to cover the cost of
the trunk line and disposal plant in
stallations a charge of $i.50 per front
foot for the installation of laterals and
a $40 a year service charge to users
for maintenance.
Needs Of County Told.
Saville advised against the small
sanitary district idea, pointing out that
Arlington County is small in area and
is rapidly approaching the status of
city, hence sewerage will be needed
through the entire county within a
short time. The consideration of the
entire county as a single district also
insures an equal distribution of the
burden of trunk-line construction be-
cause Of the difference in installation
costs in different sections.
The engineer was piled with numer-
GUS questions by Chamber of Commerce
members and representatives of other
organizations present. He answered
each carefully and attempted to explain
the advantages of sewerage, both from
a sanitary standpoint and to show that
realty values will be greatly increased
and the development of the county
hurried by this convenience, which is
one of the first required by prospective
home owners
Forman asked the assistance Of the
chamber in causing the appointment
by the board of supervisors of a COM
mission to draft a model building code
for the county. This commission should
consist, he said of a builder, an insur-
ance underwater and a lawyer. The
assistance was promised.

but was not ready to say what his con-

1t was recalled that some months ago
a sensation was created in Germany
when 1t leaked out that an American
financed North European oil company
had been accommodating leases in vari-
Gus parts of Hanover, Brunswick and
This North European company is

ploration test near Harburg, not far

OF PARK
IN COUNTY TO BEGIN
Commission to Secure Land in
Rock Greek Valley in
Montgomery.
BY stsH Correspondent of The star.


SILVER SPRING, Md, September 10.
"A step toward the extension Of Rock
Greek Park into Montgomery County
was taken last night by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission when it decided to proceed
Immediately to secure dedication of land
by property owners in the Rock Greek
Valley
Some time ago the commission au-
thorlzed a number of agents TO APP
proach the land owners to ascertain
whether they would be willing to give
the necessary land for park purposes.
According to Chief Engineer Irving G.
Root, the majority of the owners ex-
pressed their willingness to donate their
property. The terms on which others
would sell were ascertained.
Detailed Survey Made.
A detailed survey containing these
facts and an approximation of the cost
Of the park project was prepared by Mr..
Root and submitted TO the commission.
The action last night authorized j.
Bond Smith, general counsel for the
planning body to secure the transfer
of title of the property. the dedication
of which has been promised. Nego-
tiations already are under way for the
purchase by the commission of a large
tract fronting on Connecticut avenue.
AS soon as SuIQClenJ lana is secured
the commission plans to commence con-
struction of roads which would make
the park accessible to the public.
Two Roads Considered.
Two roads are now being considered.
One would connect with the proposed
highway in the District of Columbia
which would extend the present Rock
Creek road system to the boundary be-
tween the two Jurisdictions. The road
in Maryland would run from the Dis
trict Line to the Bethesda-Silver Spring
highway at Jones Mill road, and be
about a mile in length.
The second road, two miles long,
would extend from the Jones Mill road
at the National Park Seminary, in For
est Glen, to the spot where Connecticut
avenue crosses Rock Greek, about a
mile north of Chevy Chase Lake.
Specifications for the two projects
are being drawn up in the engineering
Office of the commission.
Construction Of a road in the eastern
end Of the Montgomery County section
of Sligo Valley is now in progress. and
is expected to be completed within
three months. The development of
Rock Greek Valley would match the
improvement of the park area in the
eastern section Of the county.
Ten foreign banks with % branches
are now operating in Japan.

Reminiscence of Early
Davs of "Fair Harvard"

The student who works his way
through college Is not fairly recent
phenomenon.
He can 60 way back in 1857 in this
country and find precedent at Har-

can find precedent in the same case,
for the student in question, Zachariah
Bridgen, entered Harvard at the age
Of fourteen and graduated four years
later, at the age at which many are
just getting through high school.
Zachariah, according to information
received by federal educational Off
cials, served as a waiter and rang the
school bell. The stewards books
show him charged with "commones

"Yet on the eve of time when it

German Spring Festival

In old Germany the festival Of
spring was something of a coarse va
riety. The villagers built about one of
their number frame of wood, into
which they fastened garlands and
boughs until he was completely cam
oufaged, not even the little bell over
his head showing through the flowers
With shouting he was led into the
village, where the magistrate and the
minister and others in authority were
sitting on an improvised throne Then
the guessing began. When the magis-
trate failed to speak the name of the
Wicker Whitsuntide Man, he paid to
the crowd in beer. SO 1t went with
the others, until with great hilarity
the man was found out.

Speed in Reading

Prof. Walter b. Pitkin of Columbia
university stated that there are great
differences In the speed Of reading In
different Classes of society. Young
newspaper men catch with one glance
Of the eye Al words, while experienced
editors take In as many as 7.2 words,
which Is more than the ordinary news
paper line. On the other hand, engi-
neers, who deal with things rather
than with words, have an average eye
grasp of only 3.3 words. The engi-
neers are credited, however, with re-
tanning the meaning in a passage OF
100 words better than the men of any
other group.

CHILD LABOR ROSE
BEFORE DEPRESSION

Washington.-Child labor has been
steadily increasing during the three
prosperous years prior to the present
industrial collapse, according to Miss
Grace Abbott in her annual report
as chief of the United States Chill
dren's Bureau.
The report shows that the increases
last year were largely in the first
seven months, indicating that the
number of jobs available for young
workers was much reduced because of
the slackening of business during the
latter part of the year.

Frenchman First to Get
Idea of Sewing Machine !?

France has celebrated the centenary
Of the invention by one Of her citizens
of the sewing machine. 1t Is claimed
that it was M. Barthelemy Thimon-
nier, a native Of Arbresle, in the
Rhone, who first conceived the idea
Of making a machine do the work of
hand-driven needles, writes the Paris
correspondent of the London Daily
Telegraph.
Thimonnier was a tailor, but, once
he began to work on his idea, he be-
came so engrossed in 1t that he neg
lected his own business to the point
of ruin, and many of his neighbors
roundly declared that he was mad
man. He persevered in his expert
ments, which were the more difficult
because he had not even an element
ary knowledge of mechanics, and in
1880 took out his first patent.
An Inspector of mines who happened
to be visiting the region at that time
realized the great potentiality of Thi-
monnier's invention, and installed him
In workshop In Paris.

Palm Sacred to Egyptians

The date palm tree is a sacred
thing. For thousands of years 1t has
been to the Egyptian fellahs and to
the nomads of Africa the tree of life
and the tree of death. Its dates are
so nourishing that with frugal races
they are principal article OF food.
Upon It's transparent bark was writ
ten, in ancient hieroglyphics, the first
awakening of human thought. Its
wood provided coffins for the old Egyp-
tian tombs; it's essences perfumed the
wrappings Of mummies.
