School Bonds Are
Sold At Premium
To Chicago Firm
Low Interest Rate On PWA
And Refunding Issues Make
Offer Attractive

The Montgomery County Commits
sioners Tuesday voted to sell $3.50 900
PWA school bonds and $114,5OO re-
funding bonds to John Nuveen and
Co., of Chicago, at the low interest
rate of 8 and three-fourths per cent.
This will give the county premium
of $6,25O and will carry expenses of
legal work and printing.
The commissioners had not wanted
to sell the bonds this week, but it is
understood that the generous offer of
the Chicago firm could not be held
over.
The PWA bonds are to provide the
county's share of the cost of the
school program which was given ap-
proval by the commissioners last
week. The premium will permit the
county to take care of the interest
rates until March when Commission
ers had planned to issue the bonds.

Grand Jury Believes
County Should Have
A Detective Force

Creation of a county detective
force consisting of five or six plain
clothes men was recommended by the
Montgomery County grand jury last
night in its report to Judge Charles
w. Woodward of the County Circuit
Court.
The report expressed belief the
detective force could be created with
out additional expenses to the county
by having the State assign additional
State police to the county.
Establishment OF school Of in
struction for policemen and prepa-
ration Of a manual OF police instruc-
lions were recommended. The jury
suggested the States attorney would
be the best instructor for the police
school, but stated the attorneys office
has to transact 80 much business
that this procedure probably b Inn
possible at present. The authorities
were urged to consider the appoint
ment Of an assistant to the States
attorneys Office.
Rigid enforcement Of the law
against the sale Of obscene literature
and photographs was asked IN the
report. Eight indictments were To-
turned out Of - cases investigated.

The statement was from the three
Fusion commissioners, Frank III

clined to elaborate on the statement
beyond announcing that Ira &C.
Whitacre, clerk to the board, has been
named treasurer of the 1888 cam
paign. The statement follows:
"There has been much speculation
as to whether or not there will he
another Fusion ticket in the next
county election in 1885. We feel
that the purpose of Fusion move
ment is to eliminate any dangerous
political situation.
"The dangerous situation in ou1
county was only partially corrected
in the last election. The statements
and actions of the leaders of the
Lee organization since the last cleo
ton have shown conclusively that
they are still more interested in their
political fortunes than in the welfare
of the county
eve, therefore, feel it necessary
that Fusion ticket be placed in
the field in the next election SO that
the Lee machine may be totally de-
stroyed AS in the last election,
there will a<e Fusion candidates for
all local offices. The Fusion party
will not participate as party in

AS WE SEE 1T
By MoNTco

HOW MANY OF US REMEMBER
ED WHERE we were Monday at II
A. M, 1918? l dare say all of the
overseas veterans recall their where
abouts on Armistice Day. Even us OF
the S. A. T. C. will never forget tibet
happy occasion. 1t was great day in
many ways. It taught US the lesson
that Wars are of no use when it
comes to settling any permanent
question between nations. We learned
that thousands may die horribly and
yet we can be on the threshold of
another conflict within the compare
lively short period of two decades
Bismarck said something to the effect
that diplomacy can never take the
place of the sword" He was right in
his time. He is still correct, while
nations refuse to join with one
another to solve international difficult

In his customary address to the
members of the Grand Jury, selected
Monday for the November term OF
the Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, Judge Charles w. Woodward
set forth the essential duties and OBJ
legations of the grand juror.
cit has been customary for count
less years for the Court to instruct
the Grand Jury as to their duties, OF
in other words, charge them, as the
term is used. l do not expect to be
able to tell you anything new because
judges have been telling juries the
same things for hundreds of years
so what / say will not be new to you,
but the law requires that the Court
charge the Grand Jury.
II have always deemed it well to in
form the grand jury as we'll as the
petit jury as to how juries are select
ed in this county. (The Judge then ex-
planned the method of selecting jurors.
He explained that the grand jury con-
sisted of % men, any twelve of whom
would constitute quorum.)
81 want to impress upon you the
Importance of secrecy as to what goes
on in the grand jury room You have
taken an oath to keep secret what
goes on behind the doors of the grand
jury room. This is a serious oath and
should not be taken lightly. Every
member Of the Grand Jury must feel
absolutely free to speak his mind
about anything which comes up with
the knowledge that what he says will
not be repeated.
"The second reason for secrecy is
the protection of the juror.
"Another reason is the protection
of the witness testifying before the
grand jury. He must feel that what he

says to the grand jury will not be
repeated.
another reason is that it is en-
tirely possible that some one under
suspicion may be presented to the
grand jury and not indicted. If it was
known that his activities had been in
vestigated by the grand jury, even
though no Indictment was brought, il
would be detrimental to his character
another reason is that you may
indict person who has not yet been
taken into custody and placed in jail.
Should it become known that he was
indicted, he is given an opportunity to
escape.
mot only is it your duty to con-
slider the cases brought before you by
the States Attorney or police, but it is
your duty to bring to the attention of
the jury, any unlawful condition which
you know to exist in your community
which you think should be investi-
gated.
ut is your duty to consider what |
have said, seriously, and bring any
matters which you know to be in vio-
lation of any law to the attention of
the Jury.
"In regard to the amount of evil
dence it will be necessary for you to
hear in order to bring an Indictment,
you will only hear one side of the
case, you are an accusing. body, and
after you have brought ia an Andiet-
ment the case will be tried here. You
must hear evidence which you consider
sufficient to establish prima-facie-
case.
You will not rely on fimsy evil
dence, but there must be established
In your mind that there is a proper
case, or that you believe from the
evidence you have heard that a crime
has been committed. Then it is your
duty to indict. I would also like to
say to you that it is your duty to in
sist upon proper enforcement of all
criminal laws as you find them on the
statute books. When you are sworn in
as a grand jury you no longer belong
to yourselves, you belong to the cause
Of justice. It is not what you think
about a law, or what think about a
law, you known that the laws are
made by the legislature, made up of
men selected by the citizens, and when
a law is made, it represents the will
Of the people, and it does not make
any difference whether you approve
or disapprove of the law. When you
and l and the other officers are sworn
to uphold the laws of this state we
can not choose the law we will en-

Business Men In
Favor Of Project
On Rockville Pike
Chamber of Commerce Supports
Biological Survey Plan;
Committees Named

Sentiment of the Rockville Cham
Der of Commerce was construed as
supporting new projects for the COM
munity when this organization went
on record last week at its monthly
meeting as favoring the proposed
Government Biological Survey unit
which would be located on the Rock
vile pike between Bethesda and
Rockville.
The delegates to the Montgomery
County Civic Federation were in
structed to support the project pro-
vided that nothing detrimental to the
health and morale of the neighbor-
hood would thereby be incurred. 1t
is understood that this unit would be
erected on tract of As acres do

Town Council, reported that DIR.

mission have placed the grade cross
ing project at the top of the list of
contemplated improvements.
The members of the Chamber en-
dorsed the greater incorporation of
Rockville under the plan now being
studied by the Town Council. The
disposition of trash and garbage was
to the proper committee for
study. Morris Stern, vice president,
occupied the chair for the greater
part of the meeting.
A resolution endorsing the County
Commissioners action in accepting
the Federal grant of $794,OOO for
schools, of which Rockville will get
10000, was passed. Another reso-
luton lowering the annual fees to
$500 was referred to the next meet
ing as an amendment to the bylaws.

WE HAVE OUR PROBLEMS here
in Rockville. The greatest detriment
to the growth and prosperity of this,
the county seat of Montgomery Coun-
ty, has been the tendency to discour-
age any proposition to get a payroll
here. Rockville and its environs are
mostly zoned residential. But, in or
der to keep the town running, we
must raise taxes. How can we get the
necessary taxes unless we bring bus
mess to town? There is group OPP
posed to any development on the
Rockville pike, even when the pro-
posed development bids fair not to in
terfere with the scenery and in reality
add to the decorative scheme of the
pike. Unless something is done, and
done quickly, Rockville will see its
business men going into bankruptcy
and grass growing between it's aban-
doned street car tracks. There is no
excuse for Rockville dying lingering
death. We are so close to the National
Capital. We have so many induce
ments to offer the big business firms
who are seeking appropriate building
locations. We are to blame ourselves,
when we permit such antiquated and
selfish motives to interfere with pro-
gross and the livelihood of our citi-
zens, many of whom have clearly es-
tablished a right to the pursuit of an
honest living in the neighborhood in
which they were reared.
"THE REACTIONARY OPPOSE
TION to the Roosevelt administration
are not concealing their hopeful an
ticipation that the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act and other measures we
have passed in the interest of the peo-
pie may be found unconstitutional by
the Supreme Court" said Senator
Ebert D. Thomas of Utah in an ad-
dress before the Young Democrats
Club in Washington. "What an I'M
plying attitude, not to care whether
the farmer loses his little gains.
"The opposition processes dread
fear that we may destroy the Consti-
tuition; not we the administration but
we the people, because the people only
can alter that sacred document. Will
they say the Constitution was violated
the 20 times it was charged by the
people before the New Deal came
along? In those 20 amendments the
people themselves enacted the Bill OF
Rights, without which we did not have
enough Constitution for the 13 col
onies. The people provided in amend
ments for the direct election of SEN
ators; gave women the right to vote;
established a federal income tax;

Life depending on feeble light,
