men and traffic for his taste.
House Remodeled.
The house since was remodeled
many times, and the old garret,
with its steep, gabled roof, were
removed, along with Mr.. Keys law
Office on the up-river side. The
classic door to the residence, win
dows and some of the interior trim,
Mr.. Caemmerer said, have since
been built into remodeled George
town homes. Some of this historic
material may be recovered through
donations, it was said.
A new brick front was put In
when the building was remodeled
as a store some 40 years ago, but
at least 10000 original brick and
the stone foundations will be saved,
along with some of the interior
trim. The restoration can be eff
fected accurately from existing
photographs and sketches, Mr.
Caemmerer said.
Mr.. Key, VINO was a DlStrlct at
torney, philanthropist and civic
leader, wrote the words to "The
Star Spangled Banner" while living
in the Georgetown residence. The
move to save his home as a shrine
for future generations drew sup
port from Admiral George Dewey
and Theodore Roosevelt, as well as
from the Columbia Historical So
ciety, the Georgetown Citizens AS
sociation, Oldest Inhabitants Asso-
citation, Federal city planners and
numerous other individuals and
groups.
Restoration of the old residence
as 1t was in Mr.. Keys day, Mr..
Caemmerer pointed out, will be
an attractive addition to one of
Washington's most important ap-
proaches.

D. Grand Jury
Excused in Oil
Probe
Continuing Inquiry
With New Group
Is Uncertain

The District grand jury which has
been investigating the gasoline and
oil business in this area was excused
today from further consideration Of
the matter. United States Attorney
George Morris Fay informed Justice
Jennings Bailey. however, that at
Is expected the investigation will be
resumed"
The only explanation given by
Mr.. Fay in his request to Justice
BAILEY to discharge the jury was
that the panel had been in session
since the first Tuesday in April. In
addition to hearing approximately
80 witnesses since August Is in the
gasoline and oil investigation
launched by the Antitrust Division
OF the Justice Department, the jury
also heard testimony last May in
another Antitrust Division case in
volving railroad car building COM
panies. The jury also handled many
routine District criminal cases.
Mr.. Fay noted that a new grand
jury will be empaneled next month.
He declined, however, to saw
whether the new jury would resume
the gasoline or the railroad car in
vestigation. He said he had not
received any formal requests from
the Justice Department for the use
OF regular or special District grand
juries of antitrust matters.
When the grand jury met at 1890
o'clock this morning, w. B. Watson
Snyder and Willard r. Memler, spe-
cial assistants to the Attorney Gen.
eral, were in the room only a few
minutes. They then returned to the
Justice Department without COM
menting on the session. No wit
nesses were on hand today, but the
jury remained in session about As
minutes.
Justice Department spokesmen
declared that today's action does not
mean that the gasoline investiga-
ton has been abandoned. 1t was
learned also that the grand jury
took no vote indicating an attitude

Plans for restoring the old Francis
Scott Key house on a spacious and
commanding site at the Washington
end of the Potomac River bridge
which bears Keys name were an
nounced today as workmen pre-
pared to dismantle the house to
make way for construction of the
new K street elevated highway.
Arrangements were made yester-
day at a conference in the Office of
Highway Director H. c. Whitehurst
for removing the original material
from the historic building and
storing it on the new site just
across the bridge approach and
about 100 yards down river from
the present location.
Restoration of the Key residence
as shrine to the author of the
National Anthem was approved by
the Senate last July. The Senate
voted $65,000 for the work and the
House is expected to complete &C
ton on the bill when Congress re-
convenes, according to friends of
the project here.
ALI Parties Satisfied.
H. Paul Caemmerer, president of
the Columbia Historical Society
and secretary of the Fine Arts Com
mission, said today this solution
satisfies all parties to a controversy
which arises every time the old
town house was threatened with de-
struction to make way for new
construction.
The District Commissioners, Mr.
Caemmerer said, have agreed to use
the 200x150-foot Federally- owned
lot which fronts on M street and the
Key Bridge approach and extends
back to the old c. g. o. Canal. The
site, he pointed out, provides room
for eventual restoration of Francis
Scott Keys garden and a small
orchard on the river side, as well
as parking space for visiting motor
lists.
The project has the active sup
port in the House of Representa-
tive Beall, Republican, of Maryland,
and descendant of a family promi-
nent in the early development OF
Georgetown, Mr.. Caemmerer said.
Measurements Being Taken.
Park Service employees are taking
photographs and measurements of
the remodeled, vacant building,
with view to restoring the original
dimensions and interior. Demoli-
ton work will begin in about 10
days On the building, which STANDS
across the projected curve on which
motorists driving up the river on
the K street elevated highway Will
turn back to enter Key Bridge.
Grading operations and erection
of concrete piers for the elevated
highway have further isolated the
old Key residence, which became
too cramped for Mr.. Keys large
family soon after the c. & o. Canal
was put through.
Mr.. Key, his wife and nine chill
dren moved to another home In
Washington after the canal cut
down his garden and orchard space
and the vicinity became too noisy

by his attorney Mr.. Robb said
Clegg appeared before the police
lineup at pm. on the day of the

not report for work the day follow
ing his release. Four days after

Rail Fare Boost
orCommuters
Hits 1850 Here
46-Trip Ticket Book
From Baltimore to
D. c. to Cost 81 More

Private and Government employees
committing to Washington from
nearby areas are among railroad
patrons facing monthly railroad
fare increase averaging 20 per cent
because of an Interstate Commerce
Commission authorization yesterday
Of higher rates.
The increases were granted to 16
Eastern railroads by the ICC.
Approximately 1850 persons COM
mute between Baltimore ad Wash
ington on the Baltimore 81 Ohio
Railroad and the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, the two lines offering COM
muter service in this area.
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Of
ficials said the commuters between
Baltimore and Washington face
almost a $3.50 monthly railroad fare
increase on book of 50-trip tickets.
Such books now sell for S17.50 and
probably will be increased to $3.50
under the new schedules. The cost
of a 46-trip ticket book will go up
about 81, the company said.
Approximately $50 persons COM
mute regularly between the two
cities on this line, company officials
estimated.
600 Commuters Use Pennsy.
The Pennsylvania Railroad spokes-
man would not estimate what the
increase would amount to on that
line. It was assumed the additional
charge would be about the same as
the Baltimore e. Ohio Railroad
About 600 persons used the Penn
sylvania Railroad for committing be-
tween Baltimore and Washington,
the company stated. A 50-trip ticket
book on this line also sells for $17.30,
while a 60-trip ticket book costs
1895, according to the spokesman.
All of the 16 lines, which asked
the increased communication fares to
cover higher operating costs, were
given authority to collect the in
creased rates on five days notice
to the public.
The order carried out the recon-
mendation of an ICC examiner that
the lines be required to offer two
types of communication books, one
unrestricted" and good for use at
any time, and another cheaper book
restricted to use Mondays through
Fridays, in recognition of the now
generally accepted five-day week.
Million Revenue Increase.
The lines generally asked for fiat
20 per cent increase over present
schedules, but the commission pro-
vided its own formula for the pro-
posed changes, ranging from Is to
Is per cent and setting up a sliding
scale of mileage charges in some
instances.
Commission sources estimated the
increases granted under the order
will bring in slightly more than So
100000 year increased revenues to
the railroads involved.
The order covered interstate
travel only, but the ICC noted that
the petitioning lines have pre-
sented, or propose to present, pro-
posals to the respective State COM
missions for similar increases on
their intrastate and multiple fares"
The commission said it had at
tempted to correct the "helter-
skelter and illogical communication
fare structure" in the New York City
area particularly. Eventually COM
plete uniformity of fares in that
area may be attainable after some
experience with the fares approved
yesterday, the commission said.
