Present Operations Extended to
Wider Radius Than Before

Drilling operations were in full swing
around the Washington Monument to-
day in quest of information that win
enable the engineers to decide which Of
two plans now pending before the Ma

end of the Mall, with suitable garden
treatment is the more practical.
Two expert drillers are working as
many machines and will drill eight holes

ngton Monument than was done here
tofore.
One machine, northward from the
Monument, was down to 10 feet this
morning, with the pipes bringing up
river silt and blue clay
The other, bit to the westward, had
gone beyond the 50-foot mark this
morning and was encountering large
layers of gravel, with stones of varying
size. He expects to strike bed rock
around the 100-foot mark.

After Body Is Found
Floating.

John jenkins, So, of 1902 Montello
avenue, a night Waterman newly hired
by construction company, fell into the
Potomac River near Hoover Field and
was drowned last night when he
stumbled on the planking of Golfer
dam while making his rounds.
The body was removed to the District
Moygue pending further investigation
by DR.. j. Ramsay hewitt, who accepted
the case, although there was some doubt
as to the Jurisdiction, due to the fact
that the death occurred on the Virginia
side of the river.
An hour of intensive effort by the
fire rescue squad and two injections OF
adrenalih failed to revive jenkins, who
had been In the water for almost 10
minutes when he was located on the
dark surface Of the river and pulled out.
jenkins had been working only a
few days with a company which Is lay
ing foundations along the Potomac for
the Mount Vernon Boulevard. He was
crossing from one barge to another
when his foot slipped.
Two fellow employees. Albert L. Bible
of New Alexandria. Va, and l. NC
Daniels of the 1000 block Of Virginia
avenue southeast. set out at the same
time to go to the second barge In Q
rowboat.
Arriving, they missed jenkins and
began a search. They were able to To-
cate the unconscious man still afioat
because Of the bouyancy Of his heavy
overcoat and clothing, Bible said.
The two men pulled jenkins from the
water and carried him to a barge, while
Bible ran to telephone for aid.
The Fire Rescue Squad and an am
bulance in charge Of DR.. w. Bruner OF
Emergency Hospital responded. DR..
Bruner pronounced Jenkins dead after
resuscitation efforts failed.
Neither Virginia nor District police
would say which coroner should take
the case until DR.. hewitt settled the
matter by taking over the investigation.

BEATRICE WHOLEAN
PARENTAGE ISSUE
HIT BY COUNSEL
Justice Adkins Takes Cues
ton of Admission of Conten-
tionS in Estate Suit.
100000 GIFT ALSO
QUESTIONED AS EVIDENCE
Attorneys for Mrs. Henderson Hold
Fund Proves Her Interest
in Girls Welfare.

Justice Jesse G. Adkins of District
Supreme Court today heard arguments
of attorneys as to the relevancy Of the
question OF Mrs. Beatrice Henderson
Wholean's parentage in connection with
the suit which Mrs. Wholean has filed
to prevent Mrs. John B. Henderson
from giving the Government home
for the Vice President.
In replying to the suit of Mrs.
Wholean, who is her adopted daughter,
Mrs. Henderson claimed that Mrs.
Wholean is not the real daughter OF the
late John B. Henderson tr., although
the son of the late Senator from Mis-
souri, referred to Mrs. Wholean as my
daughter" in his will.
Charges Parents Unknown.
Mrs. Henderson alleged that Mrs
Wholean was adopted in infancy by her
son and daughter and that the
girls parents are unknown.
Mrs. Henderson also said, in her
reply, that she had made gift OF
$500, 900 to Mrs. Wholean.
IA. Prescott Galley, attorney for Mrs.
ygholean, commended before Justice Adj
kins that the question Of his clients
parentage, as well as the matter OF the
100000 gift had no bearing on Mrs.
wholean's suit to prevent Mrs. Hen
derson from "dissipating" the Hender-
son estate.
Holds Questions Important.
Attorney George E. Edelin,, represent
ing Mrs. Henderson, argued that the
parentage question was one likely to
be brought up later In the case and
was relevant.
He said the fact that Mrs. Henderson
had given Mrs. Wholean $500, 900 tended
to show she was looking after the
adopted daughters interests and was
not diverting money into improper
channels.
Justice Adkins said he would take the
contentious under Amusement.
suit which Mrs. Henderson subSe-
quently filed to vacate her adoption of
Mrs. Wholean in 1924 was continued

MANOR PARK GROUP
FIGHTS PROJECTS
Fear COMBINATIONS Suits Would
Increase Assessments, Told
D. C. Heads.

Residents OF Manor Park attended q
special meeting of the Board Of District
Commissioners today to protest against
condemnation suits instituted by the
city heads to widen and straighten
Blair road and to open Kansas avenue,
Quackenbos street and other streets IN
the Manor Park section.
The association had gone on record
as in favor of some of these projects
in 1925. and again in January, 1929.
Ernest H. Pullman, former president
of the association and che Of those who
protested today, laid the difference in
attitude to changed economic condi-
tions. Residents of that section have
been hard hit in the past by assess
mentS, he stated, and they all feared
that the result of any condemnation
proceedings now would be to add further
assessments to their burdens. Many OF
the residents of the section, he said,
who are trying to buy their homes, have
been let out of their jobs or have had
their salaries reduced (his own salary
was cut Is per cent, he Said) and the
Commissioners should withdraw the
suit
John d. Smoot, chairman of the
streets and parks committee of the
Manor Park Citizens Association, said
there was no reason for opening
Quackenbos street and Kansas avenue.
The two streets end at the B. 6S O..
Railroad tracks and If the property
owners want their property opened up,
he declared, they should dedicate the
necessary land, without burdening the
community with the cost Of condemna-
ton proceedings and benefit assess
mentS
Representatives Of the Big Vein Coal
Co, Inc. who have community coal
yard at Sheridan street and Blair road,
also protested against the widening of
Blair road, which, according to the
plan. would take away the company S
offices and scales, without leaving
them space on their property to turn
coal trucks around in.
The Commissioners took the protests
under adyisement.
