Unless legal obstacles arise to
prevent the construction of a
shell at the watergate for sum-
mer concerts by the National
Symphony Orchestra, the prof.
ect will be a certainty, accord
ing to developments within he
past few days.
Corcoran Thorn, retiring presi.
dent of the National Symphony
Orchestra Association, revealed
that a request had been made
to the Works Progress Admin
istration to construct the shell
and that the request is still pend
ing before the Administration.
ACTION DUE SOON
While no official of the WPA
would allow himself to be quoted
on the proposal, several ex-
pressed the "off-the-recogd" opin-
ion the project would be a worth
while contribution to the cul-
tural life of the District. Final
action is expected within. the
next few days.

dent of the Potomac Electric

Arrangement of two Falls Church
policemen in the Staying of Theo-
dore B. Daugherty, 32-year-old
Washington musician, was post
poned today until Tuesday.
Frank L. Ball, counsel for Police
men Edwin Scheid and Herbert C.
Knox, obtained postponement
when he asked for a bill of par
ticulars to the indictment and
was sustained by County Circuit
Court Judge Walter T. Mccarthy.
PLANS DEMURRER
Judge Mccarthy ruled the in
dictment as drawn did not say
how Kox, charged with aiding
and abetting Scheid in the MUIR
der of Daughterty, specifically fig
ured in the crime. Scheid is spe-
officially charged with the murder
of the musician.
Commemorative Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas was given until
next Monday to submit bill OF
particulars, and Attorney Ball was
given until Tuesday to file a de-
murrer. He indicated in court to-
day that he would demur.
BALL OVERRULED
Ball was overruled by Judge Nc
Carthy on a point raised that the
indictment failed to set the hour
of the crime and the time Of
Daugherty's death.
Douglas said today he intended
to prove that Daugherty and
Scheid engaged in an alteration
shortly before the fatal shooting

DIGGING FOR MONEY IN
IRISHTOWN"

The night gold diggers, whose
occupation has been in disuse for
so many years as to be reckoned
among the lost arts in acquiring
"a fortune, have suddenly turned
up again, this time right in the
limits of our town. The occasion
was on Monday night, of course
when the denizens of the neighbor-
hood were wrapt in the most pro
found slumbers, the place being lot
corner of North and Main streets,
somewhat to the rear of the old
well known "Irishtown," brick,
conspicuous in our annals for sew
eral generations. The hole was
five or six feet deep, and as many
wide. Whether the pot of gold
was found, or whether the parties
were frightened away by the ap-
pearance of "spooks'' before reach
ing the depth, cannot be known.
It could not be told whether there
was the print of the pot in the
earth, because a part of the dirt
had been shoveled back. The prop
erty was for a long time and up
to the time of his death, in the
possession of the late Dr.Wm. Dan
iels, and it is supposed that some
one after eating a hearty mess Of
jowl and greens dreamed that he
had hIIriad trea SllreS there and
was thus trying to get them.

The freight on oranges from
Jacksonville to New York is thirty
cents per box; on peaches from
Milford to New York 20 cents per
basket. AS the orange box holds
as much as two baskets, it will be
seen that Florida can deliver her
fruit in New York cheaper than
Delaware can hers in the same
city. Jacksonville is six times
further than Delaware from New
York Such facts as these keep
the farmers of this State in con-
tinual enmity with our railroads.
The tomato growing craze has

THE NEW CANNERY FOR
SMYRNA

The number of acres necessary
to secure the location of A. N. Nc
Cav & Bro, in Smyrna in the
erection of a canning factory for
tomatoes has been secured and the
success of the enterprise may be
looked upon as assured. This is
on a minimum number of $50
acres, which have promised. Mr..
McGaw will come on from Aber-
deem, Md, on Saturday to contract
with the farmers and furnish them
with seed. He however desires to
raise the number to 200 acres, at
which figure he will stop contract
ing. The factory will be located
near the depot, on vacant lot on
the opposite side from the depot,
and just beyond-a very conven-
lent place for both delivery and
shipping.

Deflation, resulting in cUrtailment
of consumer buying-power, already
is being felt in Delaware through
taxes which prevent purchasers
from getting full value for their
gasoline dollar, according to the
Associated Petroleum Industries of
Delaware.
The Association has reported to
its members that a nationwide sur
vey of retail gasoline prices and
taxes, made by the American Asso-
citation of State Highway Officials,
shows that a substantial proportion
of every dollar spent for gasoline
at service stations goes for dupli-
eating federal and state taxes. The
effect, the Delaware Association
said, is to deflate the gasoline dol
lar by reducing its purchasing
power.
Ou Will be as surprised as your
customers to learn that dollar de-
fiation through taxation largely has
Offset the benefits your customers
would have derived from gasoline
price economies achieved by you
and your industry" the report said
''Your customers now pay one of
the heaviest retail sales taxes i'm
posed upon any generally com
modify, and the purchasing power
of their gasoline dollar thereby Is
greatly reduced"
