Cruesome Murder
 On The Plank Road

young child, is being held with out bonds and without communi- cation with friends or relatives pending the police's investigation of his unsupported and doubted story that two men waylaid his truck last evening on the Plank road and took Mrs Leach from his custody and killed her. It was he. who discovered the body, and tele- phoned to the police that "Jennie had been murdered" He clings to his story, notwithstanding the per sistent questioning of Coroner John T. Monzani and members of the detective bureau. The police have reason to believe that Gala brese's friendship with the dead woman had become rather annoy ing and embarrassing. Whether she attempted to continue their friend- ly contacts or had made efforts to have him give her money Is some- thing which the police will learn very shortly. They have real hot tip which involves both Calabrese and the victim and may place him in rather unenviable position to explain.
 As Coroner Monzani moved for an autopsy to-day by Medical Ex- aminer Dr Edward H. Kirschbaum 1t was also expected that efforts would be made to have Calabrese subjected to thorough physical and mental examination. The phy- sical phase of his condition is ex- pected to prove as important as his mental, if the police can rely on information imparted to them to- day.
 The police have in their posses sion tho overc0at and shirt which Calabrese was wearing last night as hc was riding in his truck with Mrs Leach. The garments are bloodstained. It is his story that he had found Mrs Leach at the homo of MT and Mrs James DiIeone of Lakewood road and he had offered to take her home. When the two men stopped his truck and ordered her out of the machine and to ac- company them he offered no re- sistance. He waited few minutes and hearing q scream went to in- vestigate and found Mrs Leach at the bottom of the pit. moaning. Her face was covered with blood. Becoming frightened Caiabresse hurried to Engine Company No 5's station and telephoned to the po- lice. He waited until Detective John Calvin arrived and escorted him to the scene and pointed out where the body lay. This was at 9:15 o'clock. Within a short time Coroner Monzani, Medical Examin- CT Kirschbaum, Superintendent of Police Joseph II. Mclean, Captain Frank Cutting, Detectives Calvin and Joseph Bender and members of the police patrol were on the scene.
 The face of the deceased pre- sented gruesome sight. It was badly battered. Her hat was found several yards away and her pock-

PAINTING DEPICTS
CHRIST AS MODERN
Chatham, Mass, ;, Work Shows
Residents Listening in
Rapt Wonder.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 3-A mural
painting, depicting beardleSs Jesus Of
Nazareth in modern Cape Cod fisher
man garb, preaching to multitude
made UP Of residents of the fishing vii
lage of Chatham, Mass, will be unveiled
Saturday in the old Congregational
Church of that town.
The painting, in three panels, meas
uring 9 by 20 feet over all, and intended
to hang in the vestibule Of the church,
is the work Of Alice Stallknecht.
Jesus, rarely depicted in modern set
ting and probably never before in mod
ern dress, is seen in the stern OF a
fiSherman's boat, His hands held alott,
His clothes consisting Of woolen shirt
and trousers secured by belt. His face,
a prismatic composite of Chatham vii
layers, is that of q young man OF
about IS.
Deacons Manipulate Oars.
In the boat, behind the figure Of the
Christ, are two deacons Of the Chatham
CONGREGATIONAL Church, fishermen of
the village. Each manipulates an oar.
To the left, in rapt attention, stands
Deacon L. Sidney Atwood, Chatham's
grocer. Next to him is Augustus Bierce,
insurance agent, and IN front OF Blerce,
Mrs. Emma Howes, restaurant pro-
prietor. On the same panel are the
towns electrician, an auto dealer, a
landscape gardener, carpenter and
builder and wives and children Of
others. High in the corner is shown a
lighthouse.
The panel to the right has row
Of widows who belong to the church,
and behind them the young women
and young men of the congregation.
In all there are 81 townSpeople shown
"a representative Of each family in
the village.
The painting Is IN modern, bold
style suggestive Of Van Gogh. How 1t
will be received by persons other than
the congregation Of the old Congrega-
tional Church Is a matter Of specula-
ton. A picture showing Christ In
garb, was turned down by the Hanging
Committee of the Royal Academy last
year and finally sold to an American

Mark Symons was the artist.
Miss Stallknecht is the wife Of DR.

.S1,656,42O ISSUED
IN NEW CURRENCY
First Action Under Recent
Measure Revealed in
Treasury Report.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Issuance of $1,656,420 in national
bank currency-the first under the
Glass -Borah rider to the home loan
bank bill-was reported today by the
Treasury in its statement for August /.
This legislation, permitting use of
Government bonds bearing not more
than 3ss per cent interest as security
for currency issues, became effective
last week. 1t would permit national
banks to issue a total of 1895, ,000, 600 in
currency on the new form of security
for three years.
On July 80 the outstanding national
bank notes amounted to $733 ,877, ,423,
while on August / 1t had increased to
$735,533.843.
The controllers Office said no state
ment would be made except probably
monthly announcement as to the
amount of national bank notes issued
under the new law. 1t added the names
of the issuing banks would not be
made public except in the annual re-
port of the controller of the currency.
This is the first change Of any con-
sequence in the amount of outstanding
national bank currency in many
months. It has remained stationary
around 1874, 100000, with only slight
shifts one way or the other due to cur
rency in the Treasury In process Of re-
demption.
While the total outstanding national
bank notes amounted to $735, ,533, ,843,
there was $14,492,710 in the Treasury

cash and $721, ,044,918 actually in cir
culation. The day previous there was
$71e,213,433 of national bank notes In

DIRECTORS CANCEL
FAIR AT ROCKVILLE
Remote Prospects of Sale Of
Grounds to School Board
Cited as Reason.
BY JACK ALLEN,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.

ROCKVILLE, Md, August 3.-Tht
eeventy-ninth annual Rockville Fail
scheduled to be held here on August
IL, 18, 19 and 20 was Cancelled at q
special meeting of officers and direc-
tors of the Montgomery County Agri-
cultural Fair, Inc, in the county court
house last night after representatives
of the fair group had been informed
earlier in the day that prospects for
an early sale of the grounds here to
the Board Of Education were very re-
mote
Paul Brunette, director of the fair,
IN announcing the decision, declared
fair officials had been relying upon the
$35,0O0 which they expected to derive
from the sale of the grounds to the
school board as the site for a new
public school and athletic field to pay
of their existing Indebtedness and to
finance the fair this year.
Feared to Increase Debt.
However, in view of developments
Yesterday, we do not feel that the fair
would be a success and deem it wise
to cancel our plans rather than increase
our indebtedness" they declared.
The meeting was called shortly after
officials of the fair group called upon
Lacy Shaw, president of the Board Of
Montgomery County Commissioners,
and learned that the Board of Educa-
tion was expecting to defer action on
the proposed purchase of the fair
grounds property until Senator Robert
G. Hilton removed his objections to
conSummation Of the deal.
Hilton Opposed Purchase.
Senator Hilton, in a letter to the
school heads recently, declared that he
was opposed to purchase Of the grounds
as school site because he felt the
county was not in position at this
time to expand to the extent as would
be indicated by the purchase of the
property and declared that he would
oppose authorization of any further
county bond issue by the Maryland
General Assembly unless they were
shown to be absolutely necessary"
It had been expected until yesterday
that the deal for the fair grounds would
be completed at a meeting of the
Board of Education scheduled for next
Tuesday, fair officials said.
The meeting last night was attended
by Clarence L. Gilpin, president of the
president; Otho Trundle, secretary and
treasurer; William Waters, Thomas
Falks, Mr.. Brunette, Finley Pollock,
Harvey j. Harris, James r. King and
James D. King, directors.
