home and start fixing things up.
But the ones that are set for
year or SO more they can kinder
lay around and sorter mix with the
Lobbyists, and have good time
without getting blamed for it.

ISOLATION to help better each 9TH
ers conditions, then go home and
write editorials against Unionism.
Not all 'em, but some do. But we
did have a fine dinner.
Amos G. Carter from Ft. Worth,
owner of the Star Telegram, was
the POSTMASTER and he made a
mighty good one, too.
Pretty near every big publisher
in America was there, they had
just had a convention, but like
most conventions they had done
nothing but Resolve" If you take
Resolve" out of conventions you
are Just about naked.
Alt this convention there was
some little animosity against the
advertising on the radio, that is it
had been a direct confliction with
newspaper advertising, and didn't
have the investment and pay the
taxes that the papers are compell-
ed to. So they naturally took that
phase up, and come right down to
it there is no reason why they
should give the radio programs all
the free advertising. 1t should be
paid for the same as a theatre
does. But some of them spoke of
the investments they had and
what right did some other thing
have to come in and destroy the
worth of their investments. Well
they was kinder forgetting when
the prohibition amendment come
in and put all the Brewerys and
Disstillerys out of business with
no recourse to the courts or any
claim. Even if you are in favor Of
the Amendment, it was legitimate
up to then, and if it was voted
out they should have had some
claim. So some OF these yellS klHu-
er make you think what those fell
lows had to stand for.
But it's all a lot of 'sHooey." The
radio won't put the papers out of
business. We got to have some
thing besides toothpaste, SO we
will always read the papers, be-
sides if it wasn't for the Peanut
Vendor song there wouldn't be any
radio.
Good papers will always last,
and Tabloids will continue to do a
big business for those that can't
read. But have learned to know
every character in America by
their picture alone. They have to
read little papers in New York and
big cities, They can't unfold a big
,aper, they haven't got room. They
like pictures Of their favorite muir
derers just like some others like
their movie stars. Its getting so
murderer to draw well in the pa
pers must be good looking.

raj speaker at the dinner.

now, and that we are not so bad

ABUSE Of WIFE
LAID To MATE

Charles F. Hamilton, who police
say kept his wife, Mrs. Rose M.
Hamilton, imprisoned for two
weeks in their home at 228 C St.
N. E., today was held on bond of
$1,000 after he demanded jury
trial in Police Court.
Assistant District Attorney
Michael Keogh told Judge Given
that Mrs. Hamilton is still con-
fined to Gallinger Hospital suf-
fering from multiple contusions
and bruises of the body.
Hamilton was arrested several
days ago after neighbors had
called police. The neighbors de-
clared that they had heard
groans and means from the Ham
ilton residence for some time.
When police arrived at the house,
they received no response to
knocks and broke in the front
door, finding Mrs. Hamilton in
a semi-conscious condition lying
on the bed.
The charge against Hamilton is
assault. He entered a plea of
not guilty in demanding a trial
by jury.

VIRGINIA LOSES
ROAD SUIT

ARLINGTON, Va, April II.
BY dismissing the cross-bill filed
by the State highway department,
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy, of the
Arlington Circuit Court, late yes
terday afternoon upheld the right
of Mrs. Virginia Van Every to
the four acres of land in Claren-
don across which the Lee Boule-
ward is being constructed.
Judge McCarthy's ruling in the
case will have the effect of per-
petuating the injunction which
Mrs. Van Every had secured pre-
venting the States forces from
working upon her property, and
requiring them to secure the
land through proper condemna-
ton proceedings.
The final arguments, which
lasted all day yesterday were
delivered by Emory N. Hosmer
and Thomas Patterson, for Mrs.
Van Every, while Charles w.
Pickett and F. S. McCandlish
appeared for the State highway
department.
The arguments centered chiefly
about the question of whether
the document signed by the late
E. B. Van Every in 1925 was an
option or q contract. If a con-
tract, then the rule against per-
petuities would not apply and the
State would have a right to the
land.
Judge Mccarthy, however, ruled
that the document was an option
and came under the rule against
perpetuities, thus making his de-
cision in favor of Mrs. Van Every.
The State will proceed with its
construction work and at the
same time enter the proper con,
demnation proceedings.

NEW HOSPITAL
PLAN STUDIED

With the establishment Of a
contagious disease hospital for
the District as the aim, the Dis
trict Commissioner have ap-
pointed committee to go to
Philadelphia and New York next
week, and study institutions in
those cities.
The committee is composed of
DR.. William C. Fowler, District
Health Officer; DR.. Edgar A. Bah
cock. superintendent of Gallinger
Hospital and Merrel A. Coe, of
the Municipal Architects office.
The city heads are considering
construction of a 200-bed con-
tagious disease hospital on a
reservation near Gallinger Hos
pital.
Establishment Of such a hos
pital has long been the dream Of
DR.. Fowler, since the accommoda-
tionS and care for contagious
disease cases, in the District is
limited to two hospitals, each
devoting one ward to such cases.
Contagious disease wards are
located at Garfield Hospital and
at Providence Hospital. Last year
$1,000 was appropriated for care
of patients at the former institu-
ton while $4,000 was appro-
priated for care of patients at
Providence Hospital.

BULLET LODGES
IN LUNG, MAN
NEAR DEATH
Charles Manning Cannot Be
Moved; Mrs. Breeders Girl,
II, Tells Of the "Big Fight"

LURAY, Va, April 11.-A
pretty 26-year-old married woman,
mother of two children, was
lodged in Jail here today in con-
nection with the shooting yester-
day of Howard Manning, 26, son
Of Charles Manning, prominent
Shenandoah merchant.
The wounded man is near
death at his home in Shenandoah,
Va, with a bullet in his right
lung. His condition is so critical
that physicians refuse to move
him to hospital for fear the trip
would cause death.
Wife Is Arrested
Manning, known as Babe" was
first reported to have been shot
on the main street of Shenandoah
by a man who darted from a
doorway in the business section Of
the city.
Sheriff E. L. Lucas brought
Mrs. Ethel Breeden. wife of Clar
ence Breeden, employe of the
shops of the Norfolk and Western

investigation of the shooting.

LEE OPPONENTS
ARE ORGANIZED
FOR FIGHT
600 Men and Women Gather
at Manor Club and Hear
Administration Attacked

SILVER SPRING, Md, April IL.
When approximately 600 men and
women voters assembled at Manor
Club, near here, last night, a
definite momentum apparently
was given to a rehabilitated anti
administration organization in
Montgomery county, one that bids
fair to keep the pace until the
1884 elections.
Invade Lee Stronghold
The meeting of those opposed
to Major E. Brooke Lees leader
ship in county affairs was called
by a committee headed by Ed
ward C. Peter, of Rockville, and
was participated in by many
staunch Republicans. When the
anti-organization people deter
mined to hold their affair in
Manor Club, they invaded the
stronghold of the Lee faction, and,
Judging by the enthusiasm dis
played last night, the new move
ment appears to constitute a real
threat to organization Democratic
control of the county.
Presided over by Ray Schreiner,
of Takoma Park, the meeting
swung into action when George
H. Lamar. of Rockville, made a
stirring talk. He was followed by
former Senator Eugene Jones, Of
Kensington: Albert S. James,
formerly of the U. S. Tax Com
mission; John E. Oxley, of Rock
vile; Walter w. Dawson, of
Rockville, Republican member of
the house of delegates, and E.
Barrett Prettyman, of Chevy
Chase.
Bond Issues Denounced
Apparently stirred by the accu-
sation, bond hungry" made by
George H. Lamar, each speaker
denounced the county administra-
tion's plan to raise millions of
dollars by bond issues through
enabling acts passed by the re-
cent session of the Maryland
General Assembly.
Several supporters of the county
administration were among the
audience.
