Of Ethan Allen Andrews, jr, of Balti-
more, which won him the title of cham
pion beekeeper Of Maryland. awarded
by the Maryland State Beekeepers' As
sociation at its annual meeting at the
Department of Agriculture bee culture
laboratory here.
Many were the cries of pain and
frantic brushing of face and hands
as the insects resented their treatment
as the contest progressed, and few Of
the contestants survived unstung.
Stings Dampen Ardor.
The rules Of the contest this year
were somewhat different from last year
and q sting did not disqualify an en-
trant as was the case in the former
contest. 1t was ruefully admitted, how
ever, that a sting dampenS consider
ably ones enthusiasm for victory.
Ten Of Maryland's best beekeepers
took part in the contest. They were
divided into two teams. one led by
A. Howard Johnson of Centerville
president Of the association, who won
the championship last year, and the
other by Harold l.. Kelly of Forest
Glen. Mr.. Kelly's team won.
According to the rules of the con-
test as explained by w. J. Nolan of the
laboratory staff. the contestants were
required to catch the bees on the wing
and place and keep them in glasses.
The man with the most bees in his
glass at the end of minutes was de-
clared the winner. The judges were
Prof. z. N. Cory, G. j. Abrams and

A smoke making contest followed the

was awarded a bee smoker as prize
Mr.. Andrews was given a valuable
queen bee as prize for his champion

mercial apple growers Of Virginia ex-

5000, 900 barrels this season, according
to a statement authorised today by w.
S. Campheld. secretary Of the Virginia
State Horticultural Society, but what to

Only fancy" and "U. S. No. /" grades
can be shipped into ports Of the United

here until late Fan, as the fruit does
not attain required color specifications
until near maturity. Another restric-
ton with which growers and shippers
are faced is the decree Of the Argentine
government requiring that each apple
be wrapped in a silky, waterproofed pa
per- and If a single apple is found to
contain certain insect or other pest
diseases the entire shipment may be
confiScated and incinerated at the ex-
pense of the shipper.
With foreign markets almost closed
for a part of the season or shipments
hedged about by almost prohihitory re-
strictions, it was said growers would
probably devote their energies toward
producing q high quality of fruit and
then storing it until conditions become

OF BUDGET
IS HELD UNLIKELY
Montgomery Civic Group
Head Sees No Cause for
Taking Up County Estimates.


SILVER SPRING, Md. June 30
The Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton probably will not reconvene to con-
slider the 1881 county budget, which was
tentatively approved Thursday by the
county commissioners. President Stephen
James announced today.
Final decision in the matter will not
be made, however, he said, until a
meeting Monday night at the Univer-
sity Club in Washington of the Fed
eration's Committee on Public Finance
and Budget.
Mr.. James stated that the federation
will not be called together for a spe-
cial meeting unless the finance group
discovers in the budget a radical de-
parture from the practice of former
years or that it contains provisions con-
trary to the opinions expressed by the
federation during the past year. He
said he did not anticipate that any
such items would be found.
THE federation has gone on record
concerning most of the financial mat
ters of the county government" Mr..
James declared. ''and little would be ac-
comphshed by a recapitulation of these
opinions unless they were disregarded
entirely in the preparation of the county
budget, which do not think to be the
case"
Officers of the federation previously
had announced that a special meeting
of the civic body probably would be
called to consider the county budget. At
the same time the federation was to
consider the budget it was expected
that it would have presented to it
report by the Finance Committee on
comparative tax burdens of the District
of Columbia and Montgomery County.
Frederic Lee, chairman of the Finance
Committee, said today. however, that
will not be submitted to the federation
until next Fall

HORNSBY FIGHTS
@,782 TAX CLAIM
Chicago Cubs Manager Dis
putes U. S. Figure lnvOlv-
ing Home Location.

Rogers Hornsby. manager of the
Chicago Cubs, has asked the Board Of
Tax Appeals to umpire" dispute over
his 1927 income tax bill
Already assessed $2,763 in taxes on
his 1927 income, Hornsby was notified
recently he owed $S.7s2 more, consist
ing of $7026 additional taxes and
S1,75e penalty for failure to file his re-
port on time.
Home State in Question.
For one thing, the base ball star be-
came ensnared in the legal tangle due
to a difference of opinion as to his
place Of residence. In his 1927 income
tax report, he said his home was at
Fort Worth, Tex. Half of his income
was listed in his name and the re-
mainder in that of his wife, in con-
formity with the Texas community
property law. which recently was suS-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
The Government, however, informed
him all the evidence indicated his home
was at St. Louis and that the only time
he spent in Texas was when he visited
relatives there in the Winter. The
legal point was that Missouri does not
have a community property law under
which, by dividing the income, the
amount of taxes payable Is materially
reduced.
Listed Income Doubled.
The Government, therefore, doubled
the S36,603 income listed by Hornsby
and added S700 world series money,
$500 compensation for newspaper arti-
cles and $154 personal expenses" 1t
also disallowed claim by Hornsby OF a
deduction of $685. for attorneys fees
in connection with sale of st. Louis
National League base ball stock.
Hornsby. in appealing yesterday, said
the delay in filing his 1927 report was
unknown and unavoidable, the Gov
ernment asserting it was filed May II
instead of March Is.
Mary jeanette Hornsby, wife of the
Cubs manager player, also filed an ap-
peal yesterday from an additional as
Sessment of $50, plus $22 penalty.
No date has been set for hearings.

DRY ENFORCEMENT
IMPROVEMENT SEEN
WoodCoCk Celebrates Year
as Chief-DeCIares
Course Right.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The view that the dry law is better
enforced now than at any time in its
history was advanced yesterday by Col.
Amos w. w. Wcodcock. director OF
prohibition, as he approached the end
of his first year IN that ONCE.
The quiet. slim man who was drawn
by President Hoover last July l from
his post as United States attorney in
Baltimore was enthusiastic yesterday
over the course of enforcement. He said:
IT think we are on the right track
now. We have been enforcing the law
with less irritation to the innocent.
'-Our policy has been to aim for the
higher-ups and the large commercial
violators, to give our agents the best
training as investigators possible, and
to do our enforcing always lawfully,
earnestly and intelligently.
After July ! we plan no change in
these aims. We will merely have a
larger army 10 carry out our policies. "
Woodcock spoke of the past prohibi-
ton year just before departing last
night for New Orleans on a To-day
tour of investigation that will carry
him through much of the fifth prohi-
bition district. comprising Texas, Mis-
sissippi. Louisiana, Georgia and Ala
bama and Florida.
His ideas Of dry law enforcement
thus carry the weight Of personal in
uuiry throughout much Of the country,
since he already has visited each OF
the other IL districts from coast TO
coast.
The Federal dry chief has set July
Is IS the zero hour for throwing into
action the larger army" Already $50
Of the 500 new agents provided for by
Congress have been put into the field
Promptly on July ! the remainder
will be put into irnpromptu schools IN
q dozen cities stretching from Boston
and New York to San Francisco and
Seattle. After two weeks of intensive
training, he plans to send them out
with specific instructions to get" those
responsible for wholesale Volstead law
violations.
Woodcock was not of the opinion
that his bureau could contribute much
during the next year to President
Hoover's economy drive. Although 1t
was held possible that some saving
might be made this year, he said:
Need OBe-ThiFd MOFe.
"Our force will be added to by nearly
a third and to carry out the will OF
Congress we must maintain the stan
at this increased size"
Although appearing somewhat tired
by his almost constant activity OF the
past year, Woodcock said he was pleased
not only by the smoother working of
the Federal prohibition army, but also
by the decrease in fatal shootings at
tendant upon enforcing the law.
II have a feeling of gratitude" he
said, that I can show the Prohibition
Bureau Is a better bureau from the
standpoint of efficiency than when
took office year ago"

Special Dispatch TO Inc star
ANNAPOLIS, Md, June 20.-A total
of 436s voters are eligible to cast bal
lots in the municipal election July l3.
If statistics are of any value the Demo-
cratic candidate. John De p. Douw, has
the edge over his Republican rival the
incumbent Walter E. Quenstedt who
two years ago was elected by a one
vote ma jority.
He is the first G. o. P. mayor here in
q number of years. The Democrats
enjoy a lead of 758 registered voters,
the official books show.
Figures filed today with the Annap-
oils board of election supervisors, OF
which George e. Rawlings of the third
ward is chairman, show that Demo-
Gratis have 2,40O voters against 1882
for the G. o. p. There are lot regis
tered Independents, 81 declines; one
Socialist and one Prohibitionist on the
city books. The Socialist is Rev. James
L. Smiley and the Prohibitionist, VIII
liam E. Feldmeyer.
Figures show that the third ward now
has the largest registered vote, 1882
names being on the city books. The
second ward IS close on the heels of the
third, however, with 1928. The first
ward. with 973 names, Is ahead of the
fourth by 81 ellglbleS.
Democrats have three-to-one edge
In the first, second and third wards, but
the Republicans have much strength in
the colored section or fourth ward,
where they have 839 voters against "a
for the Democrats. In the last election
Mayor QuenStadt was returned vic
torious through the Negro vote. although
he lost the other three wards of the
city by large margins. Again this year
the Republicans will center their efforts
in the colored section, while the Demo-
cratic organization is looking to huge
ma jorities for its candidate in the sec
ond and third wards.

the great flve-year-plan factorieS-the
famed Stalingrad tractor plant
Mr. Riesing has recently come out OF
the Soviet Union, after nearly year OF
work for the government, almost all
at the Stalingrad plant where he was

the Soviet were most friendly, but he
saw what he calls the approximate
Wrecking of the gigantic tractor plant.
Despite a special drive, it is now pro-
ducing less than half its quota.
"I reached Stalingrad in April, 1880. ;"
said Mr.. Riesing, "and helped get the
factory ready to go into production
that June. Only five tractors were
made the first month. This was gradu-
ally pushed up, until IL were made in
September. The peak was reached IN
January, when 706 were made, and then
things went wrong. Only 576 were
turned out in February. due chiefly to
the failure Of Soviet plants to furnish
cold rolled steel.

had been nearly ruined. When lett,

whether 1t was sabotage or incompe-

followed specifications in laying the
foundations for these heavy machines.
"At Stalingrad they have custom
of putting red flags on machinery out
