Harrigan Good
Picker OF Trees

Many have admired the trees and
shrubbery surrounding the court
house and in the park across from
the building and j. B. Norton, plant
pathologist, points out that in the
past 10 years not single tree has
been lost with the exception of a
tir, planted against the advice of
the agricultural commissioner.
Credit for this excellent record is
due B. A. Harrigan, agricultural
commissioner, who selected all trees
and shrubs, and also to those who
have given them excellent care.
Some very fine varieties of trees
are included in the collection, the
Jacarandas being a particularly ex-
cellent variety.

ROME, Oct. U.P)-Italians today

Statements of official spokesman

was both inevitable and imminent
In a broad zone between the Italian
colonies and Ethiopia, Italians arm

warfare and Ethiopian tribal war

An official dispatch from Asmara,
capitol and chief war base of
Eritria, denied that Ethiopians
had retired 80 kilometres (l8.63

peror Halle Selassie said in tele-

Ethiopian outposts remained where
they always had been, the dispatch
said, and at many points had been
reinforced.

spokesman, commenting on reports
that Italian troops already had

no news of such an advance but
that it was firmly believed Ethio-

would attack Italians suddenly.

PARIS, Oct. l. U.P)-Britain and
France moved a stage nearer to
complete unity today in the face
of the growing menace of war. and
an official spokesman said the
chances were three to one that

POLITICS OUT

RIVERDALE, Md, April rs.
~PoliticS are out. People out

politicians. They haven't been

Thus Lawyer Harry A. L. Bar.

Riverdale is to have a spirited
election, while Hyattsville and
other towns slumber through the
May 6 voting. It is to have q
spirited election because Mr..
Barker, defeated candidate for
the same post two years ago when
he first ran for a public office
says his issues will hinge on civic
improvement, a field he claims
is fertile with points of attack.
His first big issue is to be
street maintenance, about which
town fathers have been dereict,
he says. The second is politics,
about which he says the town
officials have been busy with
other than town interests.
Mayor Carson, seeking his
fourth term, has long been in

Veteran Says Nations
Debt Long Overdue

To the Editor of The Times:
I read with interest the letters
in your column having to do
with the bonus.
Certainly this is a debt that
should have been paid us on our
discharge from the service and
not 81 years later.
This debt should be paid now
to help thousands of veterans
who are in need just as our coun-
try was in need when we offered
our services. I am sure that a
very small portion of it would be
spent foolishly.
I have a wife and three chill
dren and cannot find work and
there are thousands of us in the
same predicament or worse.
What say to the present
Congress and President is that
they play fair with us and give
us the debt that has been due
us so long. r. H. A.

R0ilroader Speaks His
Mind About Motorists

To the Editor OF The Times:
I wonder if E. v. o. drives a
car and if so does he or she take
the trouble and time t. slow up
at grade crossings and make sure
there is no train coming?
Doing away with railroad cross
ings, as E. V. o. suggests, is a
very expensive undertaking and
will eventually reflect on the rail
road employees in pay cuts.
I believe a little common sense,
mixed with gasoline, will go a
long way towards cutting down
accidents such as the recent one
at Rockville.
If E. V. o. has ever ridden in
the cab Of a locomotive and seen
the drivers that race to beat a
train to crossing, he will under.

.LAMSON'S RETR|AL
OPENS NEXT WEEK
Divorce and Maid May Be
Called to Stand in
Death Case.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Calf, February g.
With the retrial of David A. Lamson
one week away, the State was silent
tonight on whether it had new evi-
dence to support its charge that he
bludgeoned his attractive young wife
to death with an iron pipe.
Lamson, former Stanford University
Press sales manager, was convicted OF
first degree murder and sentenced TO
death, but the State Supreme Court
granted a retrial.
1t appeared certain that the 10-lnch
pipe. raked from bonfire ashes back
of the Lamson home, would hold
pivotal position in the second trial,
opening a week from Monday.
But whether two women, whose
names were mentioned previously in
the case, would be called as witnesses
at the retrial was not known outside
prosecution circles. The two, Sarah
Kelley, Sacramento divorce. and
Dolores Roberts Sorenson, former
Lamson maid, were not called at the
first trial
The defense at the first trial sought
to show Mrs. Lamson, whose nude
body was found in the bathtub of
their home May 80, 1888, died from
injuries suffered in a fall while bath
ing
In pressing its murder charge, the
State asserted Lamson killed his wife
as a way out of an unhappy mar
riage and drew from him on cross
examination the admission that he
often visited Sarah Kelley. Lamson
denied there was any romance with
the divorce, however.
The maid. who assisted Mrs Lam
son in caring for a small daughter,
may be called to testify regarding
conditions in marital status of the
couple.
