While Washington social life was
still revolving about his grace, Prince
Fumimaro Konoye, president OF the
House of Peers of Japan, wedding
bells we're jangIing from a half dozen
different churches and the Capital
started taking on its midsummer
manners. Though it is still early IN
June, the President and Mrs. Roose-
welt pulled up stake from the White
House and on their modest little boat
made off down the Potomac for a
nice overnight cruise. Slower and
slower moves the social pendulum at
the Presidents house. and with the
modest little luncheon party given
there for the visiting prince of Japan
the Chief Executive is ready to settle
down to listening in on the work OF
Congress.
After a trip to Durham, N. c., on
which Mrs. Roosevelt starts today,
where she will make one of her de-
lightful talks at Duke University; a
breakfast with the Ambassador to
Mexico and Mrs Josephus Daniels
at Raleigh, and a few other such
engagements she, too, will settle
down in her work Of doing
good here. there and everywhere
But Prince Konoye will continue
the social lion in Washington
for a few days longer. Nothing in
prospect is quite so pleasant as the
afternoon party to be given Tuesday
by the Ambassador and Mime. Salto
at the embassy on Massachusetts, aV-
enue. The charming garden with It's
terraces at the back of the residence
gives ample opportunity for the play
of Japanese landscape gardening
while the rooms of the embassy are
like bits of life from the flowery
kingdom. The hours for the recep-
ton for his grace are from 5 to Z
o'clock and that is when the shadows
grow long over the garden paths.
Washington is never quite as de-
serted now as before the vogue for
Virginia and Maryland estates swept
the country, and while one goes on
living at teas, country clubs and night
clubs there are delightful house par
ties at Oxon Hill. where the one time

Another interesting point expected

matters Of importance have been de-
cided through the majority vote Of

Sewer BIDS to Be Opened.
The special meeting OF the board
Monday will open bids on contracts
s-A and BIB Of the county's sewer
project. The contracts were let, as
one, to Nickels Bros, Canton, Ohio,
in July, but that company could not
qualify and forfeited a certified check
for $9,700 when it could not make
the necessary bond.
The sewer to be constructed under
the contracts is known as the Ross
lyn interseptor, running from Ross
lyn to the disposal plant at -Four Mile
Run.
The contract was readvertised on
September 80, although it was pointed
out that a provision in the contrac-
tors code under the N. r. A. sets q
space Of 80 days between the opening
Of rejected bids and advertising for
new ones. However, ruling on this
from the code authority said the 90
day provision did not apply to con-
tracts let by municipalities or
counties.

Potomac Valley Residents
Push Development Plans
Federal Funds Sought for Riuer
Road Extension to Whites Ferry, and
Bridge, Opening Vast Opportunities.

game wild life in the fields and woods
offers an additional inducement.
The road itself would provide q
beautiful scenic route through Mary
land toward Virginia, passing along
the palisades and gorges of the river
and traversing an area studded with
forest growth Of oak, maple and ash.
A recent survey made by supporters
Of the plan has disclosed that the
right-of-way needed for such road
way Is already available with the
Maryland State Roads Commission
holding title to 60-foot strip run
ming from Potomac to Whites Ferry.
A gravel road once wound over this
right-of way but 1t is little used now
and Is hardly more than wagon trail.
It Is pointed out that the establish
ment of Civilian Conservation Corps
camp, the employment Of road con-
struction labor and an ALLEGATION for
the purchase Of concrete binder are
all that are needed to begin work on
the road. Purchase Of right-of-way
would not be necessary, advocates say,
while little grading work would be re-
quired as result Of the long stretches
of level land.
Rock in suficient quantity to build
a stone road is to be found in the
land which the State Roads Commits
sion holds as the right-of-way for
the road. The road also passes di-
rectly by Government-owned quarry.
Building of the bridge would link
the road extension with the Virginia
highway system and provide a high
way that would save considerable dis
tance over the present available routes
between the northwest section Of
Washington and points in Virginia
including Leesburg, Winchester, Front
Royal and the Shenandoah National
Park-as well as in other States in
the South and Southwest. Tourist
trafic from Philadelphia. New York.
Baltimore and other Northern cities
also would benefit.
The bridge, it is claimed, further
would furnish q modern means of
crossing the river to Leesburg. Only
a ferry is now available and that has
been asSailed as "slow and unsatis-
factory" method The ferry is a
pushed by a gasoline engine-propelled
boat. It ceases to operate after dark,
it is said.
Considered I'm Program.
It Is proposed to have Montgomery
County officials include the road prof.
ect in their next program of con-
struction to be financed with relief
funds furnished by the Federal Gov
ernment and to have the States of
Maryland and Virginia to cooperate
in the bridge project by an assign
ment Of the next relief funds allocated
by the Federal Government.
Petitions requesting the support of
county and State officials in pushing
the plan through to completion are
being circulated both in Maryland and
Virginia and many officials are in
cluded among the several thousands
who have signed. Several prominent
Virginia legislators have pledged their
support and number of Montgomery
County political candidates have done
likewise.

STOLL NOTES CITE
TIL. ROBINSON, SR.
u. S. Takes New Evidence
Into Account, Saying 1t
Shows "Conspiracy."
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, october 27.-A
case involving pleas for the removal
Of Thomas H. Robinson, ST., to Louis
vile to face Federal charges hinging
on the Stoll kidnapping was taken un-
der advisement today after the Gov
ernment had introduced new evidence
1t said supported the claim that Rob-
tnSon "conspired" to perpetrate the
abduction.
The evidence-four photostatic cop
les Of messages found in the Robinson
home-was ridiculed by defense
counsel.
Robinson's son, Thomas H. Robin
son, jr., Is accused as the kidnaper
OF Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, while the
elder man and Mrs. Frances Robin
son. his daughter-in-law, have been
indicted in connection with the crime.
Mrs. Frances Robinson is the wife of
Robinson, jr.
Found on Night of Release.
H. c. Douglas, Department of Jus
tice agent, testified that the four COM
munications were found in Robinson's s
home here the night of October 16
following the release of Mrs. Stoll at
an Indianapolis apartment house.
Robinson, denying that the mes
sages had any reference to the kid
mapping, said one of the letters was
prepared for transmittal to Robinson,
1r In an effort to persuade him that
he should not take an assumed name
and that another was written in an at
tempt to assist the boy in getting job
One Dated May, 1881.
One of the communications was
dated May IS, 1881, and was ad-
dressed to Bertha" Although Rob-
tnson expressed willingness to explain
circumstances under which 1t was
written, he was not questioned about
this communication.
This letter stated that 'in all fair
ness to you, I feel that I owe you an
explanation about my finances" It
then listed sums given and loaned to
Tom"-presumably Thomas H. Rob-
tnson, jr.
One of the copies, bearing the title
Accused" was said by Robinson not
to have been letter, but "a quota
ton from a book" which he had
copied last April because it seemed to
apply to trouble in which his son was
involved.
Text Of Larceny Message.
The message was as follows:
Accused.
"You don't have to prove it.
Accusation is enough.
The public always believes the worst.
You will have to live a hermit.
lts a shame that larcency should
always be
"On the side of the chiseler, and I
tried a little larceny
On the right side myself It worked" 4"
"At the time" Robinson testified,
my son was accused by two women
OF robbing them, and they came to
me and tried to shake me down to
pay on, but I wouldn't do it." He
added:
Many Of my friends felt that I
was protecting the boy, and wrong
fully protecting him.
In reading books, as I found
clippings I found this memorandum
and some others applying to my boy
that no matter what the proof was.
no matter what the courts may de-
eide, accusat tion is enough.
I copied it verbatim from the book
and quoted the author, as you can
ind from my files"

BY JACK ALLEN.

Residents Of the farm lands In the
Potomac Valley lying to the northwest
Of Washington along the Maryland
shore are waging a determined battle
for an ambitious cause upon which
they feel the future Of their entire
area depends.
Endowed with all Of the natural ad-
vantages needed to convert the COM
munity into one of the richest sections
of Montgomery County. they are now
making vigorous campaign for Fed
eral development Of two related prof.
ects that would open that section to
intensive development.
The first of the two tasks for which
they hope to gain Federal approval is
the extension of River road from its
present terminal point near the COM
munity of Potomac to Whites Ferry.
IA miles away, while the other Is the
construction Of a bridge across the
river to the Virginia shore at q point
near the present ferry landing.
Development of the two projects
in addition to the practical aims of
providing motorists with more direct
routes of travel between Washington
and Northern cities and points in Vir-
ginia and other Southern and South
western States-would pave the way
for an influx Of newcomers to the
county.
Opportunity of Benefit.
Supporters Of the plan have entered
the drive with particular zest, realiz-
ing that the Federal Governments
expenditures of vast sums for develop
ment of public projects and unemploy-
ment relief provides them with a
golden opportunity to obtain the road
and bridge-an opportunity which
they feel they never had before and
which they believe may be forever
lost once the national relief program
Is brought to a close.
Not unmindful Of the general bene-
fits to be derived by adjoining sections,
organizations throughout Montgomery
and residents Of Leesburg and other
towns in Virginia, among them many
members Of official circles, are lending
their assistance in the movement.
Advocates Of the plan, which calls
for the building of the road and
bridge "if and when Federal relief
funds again become available" hold
that the Potomac Valley offers an area
unsurpassed by any other on the At
lantic Seaboard, either for beauty or
practical purposes.
Stretching for miles and miles along
the banks of the Potomac, the valley
through which the proposed road
would be built, presents as an induce
ment for newcomers vast tracts of rich
and level meadowlands suitable for
use either as farms or for development
into rich estates.
Space for Game and Parks.
Fertile tracts from one end Of the
valley to the other also would be
opened for conversion into game pre-
serves, parks, and could be used for
the establishment OF additional avi-
alton fields near the Capital If the
road plan goes through, advocates Of
the highway maintain.
The valley, because Of its natural
advantages, would appeal to followers
of equine sports such as polo, fox
hunting and thoroughbred breeding,
it was pointed out. Supporters of
the plan maintain that advantages of
the valley are unparalleled in this re-
spect even by the famous country Of
Middleburg, Upperville and sections a
short distance beyond the Virginia
bank of the river. Fish abound in
the streams of the valley, while small
