Auditorium Bill
To Be Pushed
For District
ConnoIIy Plans to
Reintroduce Measure
For Big Structure
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Plans for public auditorium here
suitable to the needs Of the National
Capital will be brought to the atten-
ton of Congress again this winter
by Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas, chairman of the Public
Buildings and Grounds Committee.
The Senator made known today
he will reintroduce the bill that
failed in the last session to author
ize the Federal Government to put
up the structure, with the District
government contributing by provid-
ing the ground.
The site under consideration Is
that part of the Districts municipal
center area bounded by Third street,
John Marshall place. Constitution
avenue and c street NV, where the
auditorium would help improve the
stretch of Pennsylvania avenue
across from the Mall Triangle de-
velopment.
1888 Hearings May Suffice.
The Senate committee made a
favorable report on the proposal last
May, after holding hearings, and
Senator Connally said he does not
believe it will be necessary to have
hearings again. The bill reached
the Senate calendar less than a
month before adjournment, how
ever, and there was not sufficient
time to have it considered.
The bill would set up Capital
auditorium commission to supervise
the planning of the structure,
through the Treasury Department.
Upon completion it would be ad-
ministered by the Secretary of the
Interior, and, when not required for
Federal purposes, the bill contem-
plated its use for on-governmental
activities that would provide revenue
to help meet the cost of mainte-
nance. The non-governmental uses
would be such as would not be out
of harmony with the national char
acter of the auditorium.
Spurred by Inaugural Rain.
The need for a suitable public
auditorium in Washington has been
pointed out for many years, but the
proposed legislation is direct result
of the second Roosevelt inaugural
in January, 1887, when bad weather
marred the outdoor ceremonies, with
thousands standing in a downpour
of rain.
Congress promptly created COM
mission, which drafted the bill now
under discussion. The plans called
for a seating capacity of not to
exceed $4,000 for the main hall, with
conference rooms and exhibition
halls that would accommodate a
much larger number of persons under
one roof.
In addition to conventions, the
auditorium would provide meeting
place for mass meetings of civic, pa
triotic, fraternal and other national
organizations.
The old bill authorized an ap-
preparation of $9,0OO,0 900, and pro-
vided that any emergency funds
that might be available could be
used for the purpose.

 Ear at Questions

A jury in the court of common pleas today substantiated city court judgment, and held Feodor Liebreich of Bucks Hill guilty on charges of assault and breach of the peace. Judge Miles F. McNiff imposed a fine of $l0 and costs the same penalty appealed from.
 Comedy was infused in the short hearing which was climaxed with the guilty verdict by the jury after half hours deliberation. Wit nesses included the accused, Thomas Downey and Charles LeRoy.
 The charges against Liebreich were brought by Alexander Whit taker of Bucks Hill, who claimed he was assaulted and badly beaten by the much larger and younger Liebreich. The argument arose when Whitaker asked Liebreich if he might go on his land to look for some missing pigs. According to Whitaker, Liebreich refused to allow him to go on his land, and in- stead called him vile names, and punched his nose.
 One of the witnesses, Thomas Downey, who witnessed the fight, threw the court into an uproar, even causing Judge McNiff and the stoic jury to burst forth into laughter. He claimed to have heard every

ANTHONY PAIRING
 GETS DISCHARGE
Involved Hearing Over Conditional Sales Act
 Violation Dropped

After an involved hearing in city court this morning, Anthony Farino, 54, of 617 North Main street, charged with violation of the con- ditional sales act, was given a dis charge. He was arrested on com- plaint of Glen Creel, local used car dealer, who claimed that Forina had sold car to a third party be- fore completing payment on the ma chine.
 Greet said that in January of last year, Farino purchased used car from him and paid regularly till last October. In December, he said, he visited Farino, and found that he was unemployed and in strait ened circumstances. Since there was only a balance of $27 due on the car, he said, he suggested that Farino refilance the automobile and secure funds enough to run his household also.
 At that time, he said, he advanced Farino $15 from his own pocket then took out loan for him, and paid the finance company the bal ance on the car.
 Farino. he alleged, owes him a total of $80, and has sold the car He has been unable to trace the automobile. he said, the sale having been made in Brooklyn, N. Y.
 Creel was unable to produce any document showing that the finance company had reassigned the car to him. Judge Mascolo refused con- tmuance to such time as the neces- sary papers could be secured and dismissed the charge.

Eight Cows! Killed by Bolt of Lightning Owner
 Denied "Dress-
 ing Privileges"
 H ere.

When are eight COWS worth $1 ,OO0 or more and when are they worthless, is the question bother ing the owner of tl.is part of a herd down East Morris way.
 Seems the owner of eight cows sent representative to see Dr. Peter T. Keeley, city dairy and food inspector.
 "The eight cows were struck by lightning during the storm Fri day afternoon" was the com- ment. Now, can we briny them up here to Waterbury and have them dressed and sell the meat?"
 No, sir" replied Dr. Keeley.
 The details of why cows struck by lightning are not good eating is not for the layman'S consump- tion.
 So, Mrs. Ida Feldsher, of East Morris, is possessed of eight dead COWS which, until Friday after noon, were worth $1,0O0, or more. They were in pasture, presumably under tree to keep out of the rain. Came the lightning. Eight dead COWS.
 But, so far as Waterbury's mu- nicipal abattoir is concerned, the slaughter for eating purposes was illegal.

 VERDICT OF JURY
Substantiates Panelmen's S Decision That Gould
 Will Was Valid

Judge Frank P. McEvoy in su- perior court here today upheld a verdict returned by jury several weeks ago, in the Colonial Trust company's appeal from probate bate courts disposition in the case ot the late Stella Gould.
 The jury's contention that the will exhibited was the last will of Stella Gould, and that it was valio, is substantiated by the judge, in his refusal to set aside the verdict, which action was sought in motion by Attorney Walter E. Monagan, counsel for the deceased's husband, George Gould.
 Mrs. Could's will left the bulk of her estate to St. Paul's M. E. church, practically cutting her husband and daughter off entirely. Judge Dennis J. Slavin in probate court refused to admit the will to probate ana an appeal was taken to superior court, where the jury over over ruled Judge Slavin's disposition.
