DISTRICT NATIONAL
EXPECTED TO PAY
ANOTHER DIVIDEND
Receivers Statement Indi-
Gates Further Returns
to Depositors.
LOAN OF S1,193,641
IS REPAID TO R. F. C.
Cash on Hand $573, ,4e4-Total
Remaining Assets Put at
$1,e75,754.

Prospects Of another dividend next
year for depositors in the closed Dis
trict National Bank were seen today
in the statement of condition made
public by Receiver Justus S. Wardely
for the quarter ending September 80.
The loan Of $l,l93,64l.72 from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. has
been paid in full during the last quar-
ter. Cash in hands of the receiver
and controller has been built up to
s573,464.29.
Total remaining assets are esti-
mated by the receiver to be s1,675.-
754.34, from which 1t is expected
eventually it will be possible to realize
sufficient cash to pay another divi-
dend to depositors.
The FIRST dividend, Of so per cent,
was paid in September, 1888, and has
amounted to date TO total Of $1,937,-
100.e1.
How much the second dividend can
be, or when it will be possible to pay
1t is a question which cannot be pre-
dicted at present. 1t is known, how
ever, that it cannot be declared until
sometime in 1887.
Recent court Qualification Of the
right Of the receiver to collect 100
per cent stock assessment has opened
the way for use of funds collected
from this source. The receiver lists
for the first time the amount of cash
collected as stock assessment" at
$574.378.54. This is more than so per
cent Of the total assessment of ST.

desire to learn all he could about
the New Deal and with only day to
spend here Interviews were arranged
with department heads and the serv-
ice gathered him basketful of printed

Root, "the questions that we get every
day. We had a letter from a man
with five sets Of twins. He wanted
to know who else had that many
and if the Government handed out
premiums on them"
Not long ago woman called up

White House Corner Stone
Noted IN 1901 Ren0deIing q

While there Is no conclusive proof
of the matter, the second stone from
the ground at the northeast corner Of
the White House is believed to be the
corner stone of the famous mansion.
This opinion was expressed today
by Maj. Edwin p. Locke, U. s. Corps Of
Engineers, in charge of the physical
maintenance Of the White House, after
an extensive search through records.
Doubt as to the exact location of the
corner stone Of the Executive Mansion
arose following publication in The Star
Monday of an article recounting the
pomp and ceremony incident to the
laying of the corner stone LA years
ago.
Records were delved into after it
developed that nobody connected with
the White House could say definitely
where the corner stone was located.
Maj. Locke announced, however,
that while there is no record Of the
incident, older employees In his office
recall that when the interior Of the
White House was being remodeled IN

FARbMAN NAMED
CONCERTMASTER
VioIinist to Succeed GitteI.
son IN National Sym.
phony Post.

Harry Farbman of New York, widely
known concert violinist, today was
named concertmaster of the National
Symphony Orchestra to succeed
Frank GittleSon, who resigned last
June.
Farbman's appointment was an.
nounced by DR.. Hans Kinder, con-
ductor. who is completing plans for
the opening Of the orchestra's sixth
season October 25 at Constitution
Hall. He is expected to arrive in
Washington in time for the orches-
tra's first rehearsal next Monday
morning
Gittelson resigned last Spring dur
ing a dispute between the musicians
in the orchestra and the management
over the employment Of men from
outside Washington and the rates of
pay which they received. He quit to
become concert master Of the Balti-
more Symphony Orchestra.
Farbman has won an enviable
place among young violinists Of today.
Prof. Leopold Auer, who taught Farb-
man for many years, considered his
talent outstanding.
As concert artist the violinist has
toured extensively in the United States
and through South America. For the
last few years, however, he has de-
voted himself to chamber music and
to the symphony orchestra. He leaves
the concert mastership of the Ma
tional Orchestral Association in New
York to accept his new position.
The concert master position is one
of the few to be filled by new men
this year. Most of the men who have
played with the orchestra in previous
seasons will be in their regular places
as the symphony begins its sixth sea-
son.
Rehearsals begin Monday morning
in preparation for the opening con-
cert the next Sunday afternoon. The
soloist on that occasion will be Tito
Schipa, Italian tenor of the Metro
politan Opera Co.

TRAFFIC SIGNALS
DUE To UNDERGO
SCHEDULE SHIFT
Survey Being Made by Van
, Duzer Presages Adjust
ments in Operation.
USE OF SOME LIGHTS
I MAY BE CURTAILED
Others May Be Put Into Use on
! 24.Hour Basis, Director
Says.

Readiustment of the operating
schedule of traffic lights all over the
District is expected to result from an
exhaustive survey being made at the
direction of Traffic Director william A.
Van DuZer.
The purpose Of the study is to de-
termine how many lights can be turned
off before midnight without leopard
izing vehicular and pedestrian safety.
In some cases, where the traffic flow
is heavy at all hours, the lights will
be kept in operation all night.
Van Duzer said the city-wide sur
vey would be completed within a week
or 10 days. Then he will 60 over re-
ports turned in by staff of traffic
checkers and designate intersections
where the traffic flow does not justify
operation Of the lights after $50 or
z pm. and those where the lights can
be turned off at 10 pm.
A preliminary report on the traffic
flow at the 80 light inter-
sections in zone l, which embraces the
congested section, Van Duzer said,
indicated all lights except those at
Seventh, Twelfth, Fourteenth and
Seventeenth streets, on Constitution
and Pennsylvania avenues. and those
at the intersection of Fourteenth and
Water streets can be turned off at
10 pm. The lights in the excepted
group, he believes, will have to be kept
in operation over the 24-hour period,
since the traffic count discloses more
than 400 vehicles an hour pass each of
these intersections.
Conversely, the report shows, the
lights on Virginia avenue west of
Seventeenth street can be cut off as
early as $50 pm. because Of the light
traffic flow following the afternoon
rush period.
Van DuZer is confident the study
will reveal many other controlled in
tersections, especially in the outlying
residential areas, where the lights can
be turned off before midnight At the
same time, he feels there are other
intersections where it will be necessary
to keep the lights in operation through
out the night.
Van Duzer's Office also is observing
closely the results of a driving test
demonstration at the Department of
Vehicles and Traffic. The demonstra-
tion, which is being sponsored by the
Aetna Casualty Co. is designed to show
the driver his ability to cope with un-
usual emergencies. Laboratory meth
-
compare his ability with that of the
average driver.
One hundred and sixty persons took
part in the demonstration yesterday.
As anticipated, Van Duzer said, youth
excelled age in reaction response to
the test.
The demonstration will be open to
the public daily from $50 am. to $3.50
pm. for the next three weeks.

DECISION ON SUIT
TM|LKPACT
SLATED NEXT WEEK
Injunction Affecting Entire
Market Weighed by
Justice Luhring.
SEES LITTLE HARM
IN TEMPORARY WRIT
Counsel Acting for Wallace Pro
tests Scope of Possible Order.
Brief to Be Argued.

The intricate problem Of whether
the washington milk market agree
ment is helpful or harmful to the
dairymen supplying the Capital was
the concern today of Justice Oscar
Luhring of District Court, who has
been asked by IL farmers to enjoin
Secretary Wallace from enforcement
Of the order against the plaintiffs.
Justice Luhring. former Republic
can member of Congress from Indiana,
probably will make known his ruling
Tuesday. If he decides to issue a
temporary injunction, the plaintiffs
have so worded their suits that the
agreement will be rendered inopera-
tive against the whole market, not
merely the part Of the market in
which the petitioning farmers are
interested.
The agreement which the dairymen
are attacking is intended to carry out
the purpose of the agricultural adjust
ment act-to re-eStablish the farmers
purchasing power in terms Of his
agricultural income at what it was in
1926. The theory is to aid the farmer
and control the distributor, who buys
the farmers milk.
New Type Of Suit.
In all previous suits concerning
marketing agreements, the issue has
been joined between the Government
and the dttributor-whether it be a
distributor of milk, walnuts. citrus or
any ether agricultural commodity.
And q temporary injunction obtained
by a distributor against the Govern
ment has merely eliminated that par
ticular distributor from the force Of
the agreement.
But in this instance, Seton Darr,
who Is the counsel for Fairfax Farms
Dairy; Louis I. Obergh, Frederick
Stohlman and George I. Cassidy
brought suits in the name Of farmers
on the grounds their contracts with
Washington dairies are impaired by
the agreements minimum price pro-
visions and on the grounds they are
deprived of their constitutional right
of due process and equal treatment
under the law. =
John L. s. Yost, special assistant
attorney general. told the Court that
since the agreement provides no pen
alties for the producer, Secretary Wal
lace would be at a loss to know when
he was going contrary to the injunc-
ton and injuring the petitioning farm
ers and when he was not.
Protests Hating Activity.
"Such an Injunction would prevent
all activity under this agreement"
Yost said. I'VE couldn't carry out its
terms at ALL"
That's what you want. isn't it?
Justice Luhring asked Darr.
Exactly"
Earlier, the justice told the plain
tiffs and the Government:
IT don't think there would be very
much harm in granting q temporary
injunction"
At the end Of the two-day hearing
yesterday, Justice Luhring asked Darr
to file brief Monday outlining his
position, which he developed orally
Monday and Tuesday. At the jurist's
request, Darr suggested the phraseol-
ogy of an Injunction that would meet
the farmers wishes.
