Arlington Supervisors Get
Disturbed and "CaImneSs
Just Flies Out the Window"

What started out to be a dis
cussion of the dumping problem
now facing Arlington county, at
a meeting of the board Of super
visors yesterday, wandered far
afield finding an eventual rest
ing place in the field Of politics,
which grows hotter and hotter
as the November election ap-
proaches.
Mrs. Alice Semones, of Aurora
Hills, started the discussion when
she protested against the dump
ing of garbage at the south end
Of the Highway Bridge, and re-
ceived the assurance Of Edward
Duncan, chairman Of the board
and operator Of the dump, that
there would be no more dumping
in Arlington county.
1nen the F1SnC-!
The problem Of what to do
with the trash which accumu-
lates in the county If dumping
were abolished then came up for
consideration, but before it could
be settled, Miss Mollie Wallis,
owner of subdivision in Cherry
dale, rose to protest against peo-
pie using her subdivision as a
dumping ground.
According to Miss Wallis,
wagonIOads of trash and tin were
dumped onto her property every
night.
With the subject Of dumps up
for discussion, Joseph D. McDon.
aid, of Clarendon, then inter-
rupted to tell Of new dump
which was started next to resi-.
Dental property which he owns in
Hatfield.
He added that he had been
informed by men working there
that the dump was being Op-
Grated by Edward Duncan him
self.
Duncan Peeved
The whole subject was left In a
more or less unsettled state when
Mr.. Duncan, referring to the
whole dump business" as a piece
of politics instituted by those who
were politically opposed to his can
didacy for sheriff, referred the pc
titioners to the county health de-
partment or to the courts.
Commonwealth Attorney W.
C. Cloth stated that he would make
an investigation Of the cases and
prosecute the operators Of any
dumps who had not secured the
necessary permits.

CONSTANCE

The legal profession Of the ma
tion must make the law so clearly
reasonable that it will command
the respect of all people, it was
declared in the commencement
address Of National University
Law School last night by AS
sistant Attorney General Charles
B. Rugg.
Mr.. Rugg was presented by
Associate Justice Frederick L.
Siddons, of the District Supreme
Court. and following his address
$50 degrees in law and 81 in
academic subjects were awarded.
The exercises we're held in Me-
mortal Continental Hall.
Three local jurists were given
the honorary degree Of doctor of
laws. They were Judge Jennings
Bailey and Judge Peyton Gordon,
of the District Supreme Court,
and Judge Charles s. Hatfield,
of the United States Court of
Customs and Patent Appeals
These degrees were conferred by

starving.
The pike, perch, pickerel, black
bass and lots of others are MUIR
derers, but the rainbow trout-ah,
there's a fish with manners. AS
for Peggy Ann tanning one, well,
that calls for chin stroking and
a hazy look in ones eye-the
bland gaze of the born fish-story-
teller-they say. Maybe she did,
it's admitted; maybe it came
when she called and taught her
to swim better.
But the fisheries men are too
busy with live fish to bother with
dead ones.
Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde
too, was too busy informing the
Young Republicans that the de-
preston is over to tell any other
fish stories.
Give Ear To This
One man. however, took a
breath and turned this loose on
an innocent world:
1T sounds fishy and there's
no meat to it-just picking a
bone. Weighed in the scales,
it's just a coIOrfuI rainbow
trout tale, a line to hook the
suckers and bait each other.
They're all wet to raise a ripple
like that, but then this is
spring."

He said the cons Jruction to be

would provide for construction of
all classes of ships except bat

"And do not close the door on

SURPLUS WHEAT
GOES BEGGING
Times Staff Photo
Give it to the poor.
Sell it to the Chinese.
Dl1n1n in H. the 0cnan


Dump in it the ocean.
These are some of the sugges-
tions made for disposition of the
more than 200,00O,00O bushels Of
surplus wheat held by the Federal
Farm Board. The suggestions
grow in frequency, now that the
Department of Agriculture has
estimated the 1881 wheat crop
Will run far above domestic needs.
Threatens Price Level
This "SwOrd of DamOcles," as
the farm boards carryOver might
be termed, constitutes such q
threat to the price level of the
crop that several Senators, in
private conversation, feel it would
be more profitable to give the
wheat away than to keep it.
The act of the Brazilian govern
ment in tossing 10000 sacks of
coffee into the sea recently is
cited by the legislators as the way
governmental schemes to stabilize
crops usually end.
May Go to Charity
The next Congress probably will
consider several bills having to do
with the Farm Boards stored
grain. Included, likely, will be pro-
pOsals to give it to agencies feed
ing the jObleSS.
Senator Borah (R.) Idaho has
proposed that it be given to China
to feed the needy of that country.
Senator Nye (R0 North Dakota
has suggested it be sold to the
Chinese at whatever they care

BLADENSBURG'S 5
JAIL CALLED
|NHUMANE
Custodian Asks Place Closed
and Asserts County Board
Must Stand Responsibility

With an investigation into the
sanitary conditions of the Blad-
ensburg Jail already under way
and abandonment of that lookup
imminent, Prince Georges county
is on the verge Of a bitter politi-
cal battle.
The investigation was ordered
yesterday by Sheriff w. Curtis
Hopkins at the request Of Deputy
Sheriff T. H. Garrison, who is
custodian Of the Jail.
Filthy, Says Doctor
DR.. A. B. Hooton, county health
officer, who with DR.. H. T. Willis,
Of Hyattsville, and Sheriffs Hop
kins and Garrison made the in
quiry, described the condition of
the jail as filthy and unSanitary.
Mr.. Garrison said:
II am in charge of the jail
at Bladensburg and responsible
for the welfare of the inmates.
When 1 first took it over, I tried
to make it fit for use. 1 have
found this impossible, and the
only course left is to close the
institution.
"If the county commissioners
want to continue use Of the
building as q lookup, they will
have to take the responsibility.
The Sheriff's office feels the
building is not safe, and we are
not in q position to face the
suits that seem likely.
Prisoners Get No Air
'Under existing conditions, it
Is inhumane to cOnfine men to
the structure. The windows
have been boarded up with tin,
and the prisoners have begged
that we, at least, leave the iron
door open and lock the grating.
They would then have ventiIa-
ton; but, Of course, we cannot
grant the request"
The Bladensburg jail, dubbed
the black hole of Prince Georges
county, has long been under fire.
Several years ago a man was
nearly drowned when the build
ing flooded during heavy rains,
and, during three months of this
year, II prisoners effected their
escapes.
