bestowed on the American one
4 horse shay will be materially boil
stored this week with the addi-
ton Of this sporty model to the collec-
ton of vehicular Americana at Smith
sonian Institution.
Discovered in a deserted shed in the
backwoods near Newcastle, Me, the car
rage was purchased by T, Lamar jack
son of Teneriffe Colesville pike, Nd,
whose offer TO resell 1t to the museum
was quickly accepted, as there are few
of these fine examples of old coachwork
remaining in navigable condition in the
United States.
Mr.. jackson acquired the valuable
find from Mrs. Martha Hopkins. 10l
years old. who said her father took his
bride from Newcastle TO the family farm
in it in 1880. The father, Samuel Hop
kins, was OF course using his fathers
carriage, so this remarkable piece OF
handicraft probably extends back into
the eighteenth century.
The used-carriage problem never kept
a coachmaker awake nights in those
days.
After these many years Mr.. Jackson's
shay still contains the same upholstery,
fashioned from fine broadcloth and
trimmed in heavy lace. The leather
straps on which the body Is swung re-
main strong and resilient; the calfskin
top shows no cracks.
When you paid $3.50 in gold and $50
watch for one of these, as Mrs. Hopkins
grandfather did, you could be sure that
a couple of hundred years later the
brass hub caps would still be firm, the
wheels true and every piece Of the hand
wrought iron tires, bolts, Tugs and fix
lures as sound as bell. Even the sill

Wakefield is in the Alexandria Hospital
with broken arm and bullet hole in

Late Tuesday afternoon Kirby VIII
liams and Deputy Sheriff Henry Ma
garity entered the woods near Ida anG
Little River Turnpike, near FAIRFAX. in
search Of an automobile reported by
Sheriff Adrian of Loudoun County to
have been stolen. AS the officers started
10 leave they heard a car approaching.
This car was occupied by Bovett and
his 22-year-old brother, Lige. The
officers stopped the car and started to
talk 70 them. As Magarity stepped up
to look in the rear deck of the roadster.
Roger Lovett Is claimed 10 have jumped
up and pointed a pistol at MaRarity
Since the hood was raised it hid Ma
garity's face and Lovett switched the
gun to Kirby and pulled the trigger,

as the hammer fell on the empty maya
zine and grabbed for Loyett as he
pulled the trigger the second time, but
Williams whipped out his own gun and
fred at the arm Of the boy who held
the pistol. The shot broke the arm
and pierced one lung Lovetts 81
caliber revolver was loaded with two
cartridges. three of the chambers being
empty.
The officers took Jovett TO Alex
andria Hospital, where DR.. s. p. Moore
removed the bullet from his lung and
stated that he will recover. Magarity

fastenings unchipped.
Mr.. jackson said the centenarian Mrs.
Hopkins had had so long TO make up
her mind about how much she liked this
shay that she couldn't be argued out
of it. but negotiations with her sister
closed the deal.
There is one other shay in those hills,
Mr.. Jackson learned, but the owner. a
farmer says he "caint sell tibet because
pappy always said his grandpappy liked
1t a lot"
While 1t may not seem remarkable
that vehicle fashioned from such high
grade materials should be endowed with
longevity, 1t is to be remembered that
the first trips the Smithsonian shay
took were over uncleared roads. with
stumps projecting in the main path and
ruts to guide the unwary.
It Is believed that this shay was con-
structed at Union, Me, by a stage-coach
builder there who is known to have
made private carriages on order. The
business proved lucrative. for in those
days the stage coaches travelled over set
routes, and any one living off the main
road had to rely on horseback, the OK
cart or, when they were invented, the
one-horSe shay.

Widow to Be Granted Sum
After Suit Is UnSuc-
CesSfuI.

Justice, delayed more than four
years, today was just around the
corner for Mrs. Catherine r. .Jen-
ney, 4603 East Washington street,
as the result of park board MEM
bers' sympathy.
In 1926, when a previous admin
istration was acquiring land for
Pleasant Run boulevard, various
properties were condemned for the
right-of- way under an appraisal Of
81 each.
Owners of the various tracts Of
land, including Mrs. Jenney and
her husband, now deceased, en-
gagged in litigation. Upon appeal,
all but Mrs. Jenney received sub
stantial awards, averaging more
than $500 an acre for the land con-
demned.
Death of her husband and illness
of her attorney conspired to pre-
vent Mrs. Jenny's appeal form being
perfected within the legal time
limit.
Recently she filed suit in superior
court in a final attempt to obtain
just compensation for condemna-
ton of her PSI acres.
Feeling Mrs. Jenney had been
Disseminated against as the result

bers late Thursday instructed their
attorney, H. Nathan Swain, to COM
promise her suit and pay her the
$500 which her attorney indicated
she would be willing to accept.

Pope EXPECTED
TO CREATE new
CARDINALS SOON
Apostolic Delegate to U. S.
Will Be Elevated, Is
Vatican Report.
BY THOMAS b. MORGAN
United Press stan Correspondent


VATICAN CITY, Oct. 9.-Pope
Plus XXI will hold a consistory in
the first half of December and, ac-
cording to authoritative sources at
the Vatican palaces, Monseigneur
Pietro Blond, apostolic
delegate to the United States, will
be made cardinal.
The sacred college of cardinals
now is reduced to but SIS members,
owing to deaths during the last two
Years and to the fact that the pom
tiif has not created any new cardi-
nails during 1881. OF these fifty-five
members, twenty-six are Italians
and twenty-nine are foreigners.
There is generally a majority of
Italians.
There are seventy places available
in the sacred college so that the
pope likely will create number of
new cardinals in the coming con-
sistory.
Foreigners to BE Elevated
The demand of other countries
will make it imperative to give them
places now occupied by Italian
cardinals. That is to say, the num-
Der of Italian red hats will tend to
decrease while the number Of
foreign cardinals will tend to in
crease.
In the first place another cardinal
is demanded insistently by many Of
the bishops of the United States.
Most nations have a cardinal, who
is resident in Rome and is mem
Der Of the Roman curia and hence
in a position to advise the pontiff
on matters which affect his church
at home.
New Cardinals Asked
Besides. there is only one cardinal
in the whole of South America, the
archbishop of Rio de Janeiro. For
this reason, Argentina has appealed
persistently to the pope to nominate
an Argentine cardinal, who would be
the archbishop of Buenos Aires.
Chile has made the same appeal
for cardinatial rank for the arch
bishop of Santiago. Other such
petitions come from Australia, from
South Africa and from India, China
and other countries where the mis-
sionary work of the church is gain
ing Roadway.
The complexion of the sacred col
lege, according to prelates in the
Vatican palaces, will be vastly diff
ferent in fifty years because of the
trend of development of the church.
There will be many more foreign
cardinals and fewer Italian car
dinals Some time in the not too dis
tant future foreign pope is ex-
pected to be elected.
