force, but to meet such a show
with passive resistance. Waters
said:
"The B. E. F., in its position,
cannot meet force with force,
and will do nothing to endanger
that position and the respect
which it holds nationwide. If
by any chance violence should
result from the attempt to force
us from Washington, it will be
begun by our opponents, and
the guilt will be upon their
heads and the heads Of the ma
tiOnal Administration"
Police have made no plans for
evacuating the veterans from the
Government-owned buildings pend

At Camp Marks leaders today
were again faced with a milk
shortage, when only so quarts
were on hand, with more than
400 children to be rationed.
A movement recently begun by
the Washington Federation of
Churches in behalf of Camp
Marks children faces an uncertain
future, it was said today.
The federation is sponsoring a

selves virtually stranded as a re-
suit of the expiration of the bill
permitting them to borrow funds
for transportation to their homes.
The bills provision expired last
midnight and it was definitely
announced that $500 veterans
had obtained loans. There were
572 applicants yesterday.
Commander Edward B. Atwell
said instructions given to men
at Camp Marks concerning their
attitude when attempts to evict
them are made were that the
men should simply sit in their
billetS and refuse to move. He
said the men were under orders
not to provoke any trouble.
AS the zero hour approached
police sought to speed the exodus
by placing application blanks at
precinct stations and making
available motorcycles to trans
port the veterans to these centers.
Few veterans, however, availed
themselves of the opportunity.
The areas desired by the
Treasury Department are: Penn
and Sixth Streets Northwest;
Twelfth to Thirteen Streets
Southwest between C and D
Streets, and Twelfth to Four
teenth Streets Southwest, between
B and C Streets.
Orders for the evacuation of
these premises were tackled on the
buildings Saturday by Treasury
agents. This step was taken to
comply with legal requirements to
make the veterans treSpaSsers
since the property originally was
turned over to them for their use.

Commander-in- Chief Walter w.
Waters, of the regular bonus
army, issued statement in
which he declared that if the
Government desires to move his
men from Federalowned prop
erty, there are other buildings
which they can occupy.
Waters declared that the evic-
ton notice posted by the Fed

what, this has done has
been to bring it to the open,
where even the blindest may
see, that this recent series of
evacuation orders is a bald

the Administration to force
the bonus army to leave Wash

by the government and is to be
used by the Library of Congress

William c. Bond, building
superintendent at the Library,
issued the eviction order, and
claimed to have the notice legally
posted during the day. Bond
said he gave the veterans written
notice on July 18 to evacuate
Friday. He said he had given
them permission to use the
buildings on condition that they
leave when Congress adjourned.
In addition to moving his
headquarters to the A Street area
where the veterans occupy three
buildings, Waters ordered 200
men from Camp Marks to come

UPHOLDS
VON PAPEN

BERLIN, July IS G.N.SD.-
Government by dictatorship in the
state of Prussia was upheld by
the federal Supreme Court in a
decision handed down at Leipzig
today.
An injunction sought by the
Socialist ministry of the state
ousted by Chancellor Won Papen
last week was denied.
Won Papen will continue to rule
Prussia like a king of old at least
until after the parliamentary cleo
tions next Sunday, and if the poll
ing results in another Stalemate,
perhaps indefinitely
In rejecting Prussia'S petition
today, the court made it plain it
was not finally deciding whether
the Won Papen dictatorship is con-
stitutional or not.
An injunction at this time,
however, would be inappropriate,
the judges decided, because it
would impair the authority Of
the state itself.

Secretary of Labor Doak was back at
his desk today after experiencing ais
first personal contact yesterday after
noon with group of radicals, when
the cabinet officer called a woman
leader a liar" after she had attacked
the labor policies Of the Hoover admin

Communist organization, and the Ma
tional Textile Workers Union. led by
Anna Burlak, called on Mr. Doak to
demand release of Edith Berkman, a
textile union organizer, now being held

PROPERTY OWNERS
OPPOSE PLAN D
Wisconsin Avenue Group FiIeS
Formal Protest With
County Heads.
BY JACK ALLEN,
stan Correspondent of The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, May 11.-A for
NAL protest against the widening of
Wisconsin avenue under the proposed
plan D was filed with the Board Of
Montgomery County Commissioners to-
day by Is owners of property abutting
the west side of the avenue between
Bradley lane and the District of Colum-
bia line and will be presented for con-
sideration at the boards meeting here
tomorrow.
The protest points out that while the
property owners indorse and support
the basic principle for improving and
beautifying Wisconsin avenue, they will
not accede to the request to dedicate
certain portions of their land for rights
of way because plan d is not in the
best interests of true public conven-
ience"
Plan D imposes an unfair and un-
warranted burden upon a relatively
small group of property owners, as well
as an unjustified onus upon the tax
payers of Montgomery County as a
whole" the protest, which was filed for
the property owners by Ralph S. Fowler
Washington attorney, reads.
Asks Burden Be Distributed.

avoid wherever possible the taking for
public use of land Whereupon buildings
and Improvements have been made. the
signerS declare. Plan D. as well as the
five other plans considered for the ave-
nue's improvement, calls for an actual
roadway of not less than rs feet.
One of the reasons for the protest
as set forth by the property owners is
that plan D provides for the widening
of Wisconsin avenue by acquiring land
on only the west side of the road.
substantial portion of which has been
improved and Handicapped, and makes
no provision for acquiring rights of way
on the east side. a large portion of
which is unimproved ground.
The widening therefore, they assert,
should be predicated upon plans de-
signed to minimize the condemnation
of the improved property and to dis
tribute the burden equally upon own
ers Of land on both sides of the avenue.
Suggest Single Car Line.
One method of reducing the overall
right of way as suggested by the prop
erty owners, would be to make provi-
siOnS for only a single-track line for
the electric railway. Present plans pro-
vide for a double track for the street
railway, although that company admits
it has made no plans for double-track-
ing of this section of its line at any
time, the protest declares.
Construction of a 75-foot roadway
would create a bottle neck" road trap
at the State line, the protest states
Improvement of the avenue on the
basis of a 6O-foot roadway from curb
to curb, to conform with the width of
the avenue in Washington, would re-
suit in a great saving without any ma
terial effect upon the width of the traf-
flc lanes, the protest sets forth.

Thirty-two delegates and a number

In marked contrast to the apparent

evidence of bitter controversy among
the State Republicans over the result
of the recent senatorial primary brought
to light again yesterday by a state
ment from Galen L. TAFT. chairman OF
the G.. o. P. State Central Committee.
The statement criticized efforts tc
challenge the unquestioned legal re-
suit of the primary simply because a
local issue brought out more votes in
Baltimore than in the counties" as
contrary to law and not conducive to
party welfare
Mr. TAFT issued his statement after
two members of the State Central Com
mittee of Baltimore County asked him
to withdraw the candidacy of Wallace
Williams for the United States Senate

State is naturally with Linwood L.

Aside from affecting street iIlumina-

Electrical Departments program for
elimination of all gas lamps in the 1884
hScal year. There are more than l,2O0
gas lamps now in service and District
officials have been anxious to replace
them with electric lamps, which are
said to be more economical and provide
better light.
Furthermore, the Washington Gas
Light Co. recently advised Mai Donald
A. Dawson, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, that it is anxious to abandon
gas street lights as rapidly as possible.
The company said it lost $4,000 last
year in the operation Of gas lamps
and probably will suffer a greater loss
this year because the Subcontractor
who services gas lamps refused to re-
new a contract without an increase in
compensation.
The gas company, however, is anxious
to retain III gas lamps in public
parks, because it believes they are more
pleasing and suitable than electricity
for park illumination purposes.

SUICIDE FOLLOWS
MURDER ADMISSION
Youth Implicated by Ohio
Husband ThWarts Arrest
With Bullet.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press,
WOOSTER. Ohio, May 11.-Shortly
after Herbert Meeker, Wayne County
farmer. confessed at Millersburg last
night to the murder of his wife and i'm
plicated Harold Young, 10, neighbor,
officers found Young shot to death at
his home.
The officers said they heard thud as
from a muffied shot as they beat down
the door of the Young home. They
found Young's body, clad in a night
gown. and a shotgun wound in his head.
The officers. Sheriff John Stevens of
Holmes County and Sheriff Clark
Shearer of Wayne County went to the
Young residence, near Alderman Sta
ton. after Young had been named in
Meeker's confession as the actual slayer
of Mrs Meeker, whose battered body
was found in a creek near Millersburg
Monday morning.
Young, according to the statement
Meeker is said to have given Sheriff
Stevens, struck the first blow that killed
Mrs. Meeker.
Meeker, the sheriff said, told him that
he, his brother law and Mrs. Meeker
were riding down a lonely road in the
Meeker automobile when Young struck
Mrs. Meeker over the head with tire
pump. Subsequent blows killed Mrs.
Meeker, and the Meeker automobile was
sent hurtling down a road in an effort
to make it appear that she had been
fatally wounded in an accident.
Her body was found more than a mile
from the scene of the automobile wreck
and led officers to believe the woman
was not killed by accident.
Mother Gives Evidence.
Meeker was taken into custody a
short time after the body was found.
He maintained he was innocent until
early today, when confronted by a
statement of his mother that he had
been with his wife at o'clock Sunday
night and that he did not return home
until shortly before 4 o'clock Monday
morning The Holmes County coroner
estimated that Mrs Meeker had been
dead four hours when the body was
found at o'clock Monday morning.
Meeker's mother also told authorities
that her son after arriving home burned
part of his clothing. which was covered
with mud and bore stains which re-
sembled blood After sleeping several
hours he arose and burned the rest of
his clothing, officers said. Shortly after
this he told his mother. the officers
said, to notify the Wayne County sher-
if that his wife, the family automobile
