Summer Homes in Demand
D. {. FIRM BUSY
At HISTORIC
BAY POINT

An indication of the return Of
spring and the approach of the
summer real estate activity at
Washington's nearby summer colo.
MES is the announcement Of the
Point Blackstone Agency, with
offices in the Peoples Life Insur'
ance Building, of the resumption
of the remarkable sale of summer
homesites at Point Blackstone
which was placed on the market
last summer. More than $4,000
worth of these lots were sold dur
ing July, August and September Of
last year, indicating a return OF
the demand for shore property.
Point Blackstone is on point
Of land which has been known for
years as Colton's Point where the
lower Potomac enters historic st.
Clements Bay. This point over
looks Blackstone Island, on whose
sandy beach, more than 300 years
ago, landed the Ark and Dove, the
two ships containing Lord Balt1'
more's band of fearless colonists.
Marker on House
A marker on part of the old
manor house which still stands on
this point bears this inscription:
"Here is the place Of Mary
lands beginning, March rs, 1884,
and the oldest extant manor Of
Maryland, granted to Sir Thomas
Gerard in 1888. U pom the mar"
riage of his daughter, Elizabeth,

Justice, in 1867, wedding dover

Manor, which name she changed
to Blackstone Island. Nut trees,

still bearing on the Manor lands.
which included st. Margarets
and st. KatherineS Islands. The
blood of this Gerard grant still
owns this property"
Last year the State of Mary
land erected a great white cross
on the island where Lord Balti'
more's followers planted their
small cross 800 years ago.
The point of land on which the
Point Blackstone subdivision lies
is high and level above the river
and bay, and has been laid out
carefully. Many beautiful cot
tageS have already been built,
some along the shores, some sur
rounding the beautiful harbor
which nestles almost in the cen
ter of the allotment, forming a
natural harbor for all the cot.
tager's boats, and some along the
paved State highway which BIZ
Sects the subdivision. Many Of
the hundreds of Washingtonians
who have purchased building
sites during this sale are plan
ming on erecting their summer
homes this spring and several are
now under construction.
Sites Low Priced
The home sites at Point Blacki-
stone formerly sold for more than
double the price asked at this
sale, but on account of the death
of the owner, they have been
priced so low that every family
may now have the opportunity
of owning fine summer place
at a very modest price.
Point Blackstone may be
reached by driving out Pennsyl-
vania Ave. S. E., across the
Eleventh Street Bridge into Ana
costa, turning left at the traffic
light and up Good Hope Hill and
right out Route to Waldorf,
Md, turning left at this point
onto the Leonardtown Road to
Morganza and right at Morgan-a
through Clements directly to
Point Blackstone.
The roads are paved all the
way.

Chief Deputy Prosecution
Denies Rum0rS of His
Resignation.

Oscar G. Hagemier. chief deputy
Prosecutor, today denied rumors
that he would resign his post in the
immediate future.
Early political talk in connection
with the 1886 spring primary was to
the effect that Mr.. Hagemier would
be a candidate for prosecutor on the
Democratic ticket in opposition to
his chief, Herbert M. Spencer.
Mr.. Hagemier, who was deputy
prosecutor for four years under Her
bert E. Wilson, and in direct charge
of grand jury investigation in 1884,
announced his candidacy for prose-
cutor, but withdrew in favor of Mr..
Spencer. His appointment as chief
deputy was believed considered a di-
rect reward for that withdrawal.
Mr.. Hagemier today said he would
not contest for any office against a
former employer and said he under
stood now that MI. Spencer would
seek reorganization next May.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-The at
titude of the United States toward
the threatened Italo-Ethlopian con-
flict will not be altered as a result
of the reported concession granted
an American concern, Cordell Hull
Secretary of State, said officially
and emphatically today.
In response to newspaper inquir-

the reported concession, especially
inasmuch as this government had
not been consulted or informed by
those interested.
Sufficient information had beer
received, however, Mr.. Hull said, to
state that regardless of what the
nature of this concession may be il
will not affect the attitude or policy
of this government.
In his statement, Mr., Hull again
called attention to the commitments
to maintain peace by which most OF
the nations of the world are bound
by one or more treaties. He again
expressed tine hope that no nation
will be diverted from carrying out
the treaty obligations.

ly thereafter, the rescue ship wire-
lessed that it will be standing by
with boat crews ready"
This was interpreted to mean that
as soon as the weather moderates,
an attempt would be made to trans
fer the passengers in small boats.
Soon after the Limon hove into
view, the Dixie's master messaged:
The captain sees you okay, but
can't transfer passengers now. It's
too rough"
Rescue Delayed "a Hours
Coast Guard officials at the Fl.
Lauderdale base said they did not
believe the seas would be sufficiently
quiet for small-boat rescue attempts
for at least another "a hours.
The fact that the Dixie had wire
lessed the Reaper shortly after the
tanker's arrival in the immediate vi
cinity that no immediate cid was
required led marine experts here to
believe that the liners master in

members of crew slightly injured"
Meantime, two other Coast Guard
boats and a commercial tug were
ready to leave Key West as soon as
the weather improves. 1t was be-
lieved that no attempt would be
made to pull the Dixie off the reef
until the ships condition had been
determined.

Adds ABABA, Sept. 3. - The
first troops began pouring out Of
Adds Ababa today for the Ogaden
district bordering italian Somali-
land, where they will bear the brunt
of Italy's expected attack with
tanks, planes and other destructive
engines of modern warfare.
A nondescript army of about 500
men skithered through the mud at
the railroad siding, pitched them
selves and their Heterogeneous
weapons into box carS and %entrained
for Ogaden. 1t was the capitals
first troop transport since war be-
came apparently inevitable.
The men represented part of the
forces of the Dajazmatch Habte
Mikael, a veteran of Adowa-where
the Ethiopians slaughtered thou
sands of Italians in 1896. Mikael
is leaving today for the Ualual dis
trict to take the first line of de-
tense.
Youngest Only ii Years Old
Mikael eventually will have 10000
men, either picked up n route or
already at Ogaoen. Earlier in the
day, another train loaded on $50
men of the same command IS miles
out of the capital. The second train
will pick up its full complement at
way stations.
The warriors, recruited from will
ages neighboring the capital, ranged
from ~14-year-old youths to gray
boards. They have little experience
in a military sense, but their cour-
age is tremendous.
All we're similarly equipped with
white shammaS. Only a handful had
uniforms. The rifles varied in vint-
age. Some were ancient and might
have been used in the battle of
Adowa.
All were laden with bundles and
the inevitable waterskins. Sioshing
through the mud, they salaamed to
their chief with broad grins as he
inspected them. Women wept and
fathers and mothers kissed their
sons at the doors of the packed box
cars before the train moved off.
With the departure of the troops,
the government prepared to refuse a
demand of Count Vinci-G igliucci,
Italian minister, for the transport
of nearly 200 soldiers with machine
guns to Adds Ababa as a legation
guard.
Rainy Season Ends Sept. ~
Count Vinci also complained that
the diplomatic mail for the Italians
had arrived on Sunday with the
seals broken. He vainly asked for
an interview with the emperor.
Sept. 81 will mark the official end
of the rainy season. Fascist Italy
will be free to launch its expected
mass attack from Eritrea and
Somaliland soon afterward, it was
learned today.
