serious injury or possible death by

EVANSVILLE, Md, April ia
building code for the metropolitan dis
trict OF Prince Georges County is now
being complied by the Maryland-N =
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, under authority conferred in a
bill passed by the recent Legislature,
Chief Engineer Irving c. Root said to-
day. The code should be ready for
adoption about July /, according to Mr..
Root
Copies of the building codes now in
effect in the various incorporated towns
Of the metropolitan area Of the county
are now being collected and studied by
the commission, and features of some
Of them may be incorporated in the code
for the entire area, it was said.
Conflicts to BE Avoided.
The new code will not interfere with
the codes now in force in the various
towns, but where there are Implications
in the regulations, and the town code
contains the most stringent provisions,
the local rules will be enforced.
Engineer Root says the new code will
be based on the District of Columbia
code. but will be much simpler, as the
county does not have need for the regu-
other provisions essential in large city.
Inspector Authorized.
A close similarity between the build
ing codes Of the two jurisdictions will
be desirable from the point of view of
contractors who operate in the city and
nearby Maryland. Mr.. Root pointed out
The new law also authorizes the Park
Commission to appoint a building in
-
this will not be done until after the
code is adopted. The inspector will
have his headquarters in the proposed
metropolitan district building at Hy-
attsyille.
The building inspector appointed by
the commission Is not intended to super
cede the various town building inspectors
now holding office in several commu-
mites.

SHIPPING MEN
AWAIT ACTION
BY CONFERENCE
Bay City Meeting May
Reshape Entire Map Of
Water transportation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 10. U.P)-
The bulk of Americas merchant
marine was involved today in a con-
ference of transportation magnates
that may reshape the world ship
ping map within a week.
A definite report that the oppos-
ing interests had virtually agreed
on joint acquisition and operation
OF the vast United States Lines was
circulated at the end of the second
day. 1t was the first report to pass
the rumor stage since the finance
and shipping leaders had met be-
hind closed doors here.
While scores of shipping men
milled excitedly through the lobby
of the st. Francis hotel, the six
conferees upstairs discussed plans
ranging from a working agreement
on rates 70 a merger of all u lines
they represent. The discussions in
cluded 131 vessels totaling 100000
tons, among them practically all of
the nations leading freight and
passenger carriers.
No more than tired smile and
nothing to say" came from the
conference men.
Among those at the meeting were
Stanley Dollar and Herbert Fleish-
hacker, representing the Dollar line
and subsidiaries, and Kenneth d.
Dawson, Portland magnate asso-
ciated with the Dollars in negotiat-
ing for the United States lines.
The conference originated from a
suggestion of the United States ship
ping board directing the Dollar
Dawson interests to reach an agree
ment with the I. NJ. M Roosevelt
group on their opposing bids for the
u. S. lines This was believed to be
the first consideration of the con-
ference here, and an announcement
was expected before next Thursday,
the time limit fixed by the shipping
board
But from this beginning the meet
ing was reported to have developed
plans for a merger on the hopes of
regaining supremacy of the seas for
the United States. Vincent AStor
another I. M. M. executive, was be-
lieved to have been instrumental in
bringing up the proposal.
The United States lines were ex-
pected to be turned over to the Dol
lar-Dawson group, probably with an
agreement which would remove Dol
