WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug.
20 U.SD.-Landing of U. S. Ma
rines in Nicaragua for the pur-
pose of protecting the lives of
American citizens was justified
by Admiral William L. Rogers, of
the United States Navy, today on
the grounds that it was of ad-
vantage to Nicaragua since peace
and order were preserved and life
and property protected.
Admiral Rogers spoke at the
Institute Of Politics and declared
that it was the right" of any
nation whose citizens were endan-
gered by disorder in countries
where the local authority could
not maintain peace within it's own
territory. So long, however, as a
nation preserves order by itself,
Rogers said, another nation send
ing citizens there has no interest
in protecting them.

100000 bushels might be pur-

Tax Collector Chatham M. Tow

In submitting application for
automobile titles, the applicant is
instructed, by notation at the top
of the paper, to make his check
or money order payable to the
Collector of Taxes.
AS a result. hundreds of appli-
cations find their way daily to
the office Of Mr.. Towers. Each
has to be sorted from the daily
bulk of tax office mail and sent
to the office of Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer, when the
applications are filed. Sorting
out the applications takes quite a
bit of time, and Mr.. Towers asks
all persons to mail their applica-
tions and checks to the Director
of Traffic and not to his office.

writs which have halted the
circus train.
Get Fodder Free
The matter of feeding the AMI
mails has not as yet become
acute, because of lush grass grow
ing in the section where the
train was stopped.
If it were not for this free food.
1t is estimated that the county
would have to pay about $500
day for supplies for the beasts.
The hundreds of circus hands
stranded with the train were
leading a hand-to-mouth existence
today.
The siding upon which the
train has been stopped is about
midway between Landover and
Tuxedo, and the humans al
tached to the train have to walk
into either village to purchase
supplies.
Gather Around Fires
Most of them are without funds
and are being fed through the
kindness of their fellows. Numer-
Gus small bOnfires were built
along side the train today and
over these cowboys, Indians,
freaks and rOuStabOuts were try
ing to prepare meals.
The circus folk, accustomed to
a nomadic existence, have made
themselves at home in the de.
serted section of Maryland and
are prepared to stay there indefi-
nitely, or at least until they OBJ
tain the $4,000 which they as
Sert is due them as back salary.
Crap games were about the
only method of entertainment
available to the stranded perform
erS today.

gether strange groups, all Of the

Elephants At Ease
A mild sensation was caused in
the section when two score horses
pastured near the train broke
loose early in the day and ran
wildly over the surrounding ter
ritOry and onto the railroad
tracks.
Trained cowboys, however, soon
brought them under control ana
returned them to the pastures.

living in the dust on the Camp
Meigs circus grounds for two
weeks.
The land on which the animals
are grazing is owned by the Land
over Land Company, of which E.
S. BraShears is president. Mr..
BraShearS is also president Of the
Beaver Dam Country Club, which
adjOins the property on which the
circus IS stopping.
Mr.. BraShearS said today that
it was news to him that the ami
mails were on the land. and that
he would 60 out this afternoon to
look the situation over.
Over in Capitol Heights lawyers
wrangled and battled before
Justice of the Peace Oscar Poore,
who issued the writs upon which
the show is held. Attorneys j.
Wilson Ryon and L. G. Sasscer,
representing the owners of the
circus, moved to quash the wriUs
of attachments.
Question Of Right
They contended that the State
of Maryland had no right to at
tach the circus train which,
they claimed, was engaged in
interstate commerce.
Another point made by Ryon
and Sasscer was that the prop
erty attached is not in the pos
session of those named in the
writ but is the property of Lew
H. Wentz, of Oklahoma. who
holds a mortgage on the show.
They also contended there were
errors in the issuance of the writ
and that the show is still under
the Jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the District Of Columbia
which on August IS, issued an in
junction restraining employees
from interfering with its move
mentS.
The Fight Goes On
Rights of the employees to
attach and hold up the show
until they are paid their arrears
in salary were maintained by
Attorneys Robert Mccullough,
Thomas Luckett and Norman
Landreau. I
They told Justice Poore that
the money was properly owed to
their clients and that their only
hope of relief was to holding the
show and forcing its sale. They
denied that the circus train was
in interstate commerce when the
writS were put into effect claim
ing that the train had stopped
without their interference.
Unless Justice Poore quaShed
the writs the show will be adver-
tised for sale in five days and
10 days later will be knocked
dawn to the highest bidder.
