TRIAL IS BEGUN
IN S25 KILLING

AMELIA, Va, April 9.-Richard
Lee, negro laborer. who was
taken to Richmond for safekeep-
ing following his arrest more
than two months ago in connec-
ton with the killing of his en-
ployer, j. Will Jones, a wealthy
dairyman and former merchant,
was placed on trial here today in
the circuit court of Amelia on
the charge of murder in the first
degree. 1t is expected that sew
eral hours will be required in
selecting a jury.
Judge Edwin p. Cox, presiding,
designated Valentine SouthaII to
represent Lee, who is reported to
have made a confession to the
effect that he was offered S25 to
kill Jones, who was shot in the
head while he was asleep in his
home.
Gordon B. Amber, of Rich
mond, has been employed to as
sist Commemorative Attorney
George Keith Taylor, jr. in the
prosecution.
Mrs. Jones, the widow, is ex-
pected to be among the chief
witnesses in the case. Oscar
Jones. son of the victim, was
the first member of the family
to reach his fathers bedside after
the murder had been committed
He was followed to the scene by
the widow and others in the
Jones home.
1t was at first reported that
the dairyman had shot and killed
himself. Such a theory was
quickly abandoned following the
arrival of Coroner George A. Ar.
hart, Magistrate j. A. deKrafft
and S. B. Moorefield at the Jones
home.
The dairyman left an estate of
$4,000 and $4,000 life insur.
ance. The widow was bequeathed
the bulk of the estate.

and incidental charges on sugar,
canned goods, coffee and other
commodities at it's warehouses,
and to extend storage privileges

dence presented did not convinc-
ingly establish the inadequacy of

Rock Creek Project Also Is
Included in Urgent Tasks;
Fund Of 100000 Ready

SILVER SPRING, April g.
The first two park development
projects ins Montgomery county
under the provisions of the Cram
ton Act, accepted by the recent
session of the Maryland General
Assembly, have been decided
upon by Irving C. Root, chief
engineer of the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission. he said today.
With more than S1,000,0o0 to
60 upon in the general park de-
velopment plan, Mr.. Root said he
and Roland Rogers, landscape
architect of the commission, have
decided that these two projects
occupy positions of commanding
Importance. Preliminary work
begins Immediately
Sligo Creek Parkway
The first is to extend the road
way through Sligo Creek Parkway
to Carroll Avenue in Takoma
Park, a distance of one-quarter
mile, thereby giving a through
route through the parkway, west
to east. This will entail the ne
cessity of going through the prop
erty of the General Conference
of the Seventh Day Adventists,
the right-of-way of which has not
yet been adjusted. This carries
with it the extension of the road
from Blair Road to ColeSville Pike
for a distance of two miles along
Sligo Greek, footing the valley.
This contemplates the compile
tion of the plan to make Sligo
Greek Valley pleasure drive
through that entire vicinity and
to make a short cut for motor
lists between the two sections.
Park Property Needed
The second is to acquire the
land in Rock Greek Park extend
ed into Montgomery county which
will extend from the bridge across
the creek at the National Park
Seminary, Forest Glen, property,
to Connecticut Avenue embracing
so acres.
Mr.. Root said if acquisition
can not be had by favorable pur-
chase it will be obtained by con-
demnation, and that he hopes to
get the roadway through this
property completed this year
When this is done, Washington
motorists will have a continuous
driveway through Rock Greek
valley turning out into loop
through Connecticut Avenue back
to their homes.

WAGES
ARE REDUCED
WIDELY
Department of Labor Figures
Indicate Cuts Are Deeper
Than Average in Industry

Establishment Of lower wage
scales in textile plants has become
almost universal.
Both wooden and cotton mills,
in the North and in the South,
have participated. in the move
ment, which probably has af-
fected hundreds Of thousands of
workers, since the textile. manu-
featuring industry is one Of the
country's largest in number Of op-
eratives employed.
Heavy in Industry
It is obvious that the wage re-
duction movement has made more
than average headway in this in
duStry. For the first eight months
OF this year the Department of
Labor reported wage reductions
affecting 253,647 workers in. all
lines Of industry.
OF this number 25,857, or 1912
per cent, were operatives in cot
ton mills, and 1924, or 80 per
cent we're workers in woolen and
worsted mills. This period did
not include September and Octo-
ber. when cuts were especially fire.
-quent. =
Wages have been lowered in two
major ways, a flat cut, usually 10
per cent in the hourly rate, and
in reducing piece rates. The lat
ter is much the less spectacular,
and has been widely employed,
without attracting much attention.
Cuts in Small Plants
In the South, cotton plants are
much smaller and more widely
scattered than in the North, and
wage reductions there have been
less conspicuous. In the opinion
of some manufacturers operating
mills in that region, however, pay
cuts have been just as numerous,
or perhaps more numerous than
in the North.
Many of the, various woolen and
worsted mills, scattered in smaller
New England communities, have
reduced wages 10 per cent or
more.
