REHEARING ASKED
i ON ZING ORDER
Mount Pleasant Citizens’ As
sociation Opposes Apart
ments Near Zoo Entrance.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the
xonins commission in reasoning the
2500 block of Harvard street from B
restricted to B area, the Mount Pleas
ant Citizens’ Association at a meeting
Saturday night decided to ask for a
rehearing. This portion of Harvard
street is close to the Zoo entrance,
and there has been considerable con
troversy over the class in which it
should be zoned.
The decision of the commission
as made in face of opposition from
the Mount Pleasant Citizens' Asso
ciation, and permits have been grant
ed for erection of apartment houses
which cause the! principal objection
of the association.
Joint Library Celebration.
The organization also decided to
join with Pinev Branch, Columbia
Heights and Kalorama citizens' as
sociations in a joint celebration and
reception at the new Public Library
In Mount Pleasant, on the date of its
opening. This will take place in May.
Dr. Le Grande Powers was nomi
nated as a representative on the Citi
zens' Council. A resolution was
adopted urging the purchase of a
large tract of land at Fourteenth and
Ogden streets for a playground.
Following addresses by Miss Heider,
in charge of the girls' physical training
department of the Powell Junior High
School, and Mr. Downing, in charge
of boys' physical training at the
school, the association appropriated
$25 as a prize for the student show
ing the best progress in his studies
and in sportsmanlike attributes dur
ing the year. Miss B. Bachus. prin
cipal of the school, was elected a
member of the association.
MURDERESS REJOICES

By the Asenpiateil Pre.s.
ATLANTA, Ga , April 13. —Mrs. Ida i
Hughes, after having been condemned i
to be hanged on April 24 for the I
murder of her mother-in-law, Mrs. ]
M. C. Hughes, fin December. 1923, |
yesterday spent Easter rejoicing that i
■he had escaped the gallows through '
the decision of Gov. Clifford Walker l
to accept the recommendation of the
Georgia Prison Commission and com
mute the sentence to life imprison
ment.
The governor said although from j
the record of the case "Mrs. Hughes |
is guilty of murder,” and that he :
had “no sympathy with the maudlin j
sentiment which seeks to make a j
heroine of a woman guilty of a hor- :
rible crime.” he decided that there
were mitigating circumstances which
justified clemency.
Mrs. Hughes received the news
without visible emotion. She said,
“I'd rather live in the penitentiary
than outside under such conditions as
I experienced before I got into this
trouble.
"I’ve made up my mind that the j
rest of my life will be devoted to]
doing the work of God as I see it,” j
•he added.

i Orders Increase to Protect
U. S. Producers From Ger

An increase in the tariff dutv on
potassium chlorate from 1 cents to
2*4 cents a pound was ordered today
by President Coolidge.
The President acted under the flex

authorize him to change rates to a
maximum of 50 per cent—the increase
granted in this case.
A unanimous report recommending
a higher duty was submitted by the
Tariff Commission, which said the in

States with that in Germany, the
principal competing country.
The product is used in the manu

When Better Automobiles Are Built, Buick Will Build Them
Svuestions Why are
more women driving
Buicks than any other
make of six-cylinder
One reason is the strik
ing appearance of this famous motor car. Then
comes Buick dependability. A woman knows
when she starts out with her Buick that she
will "get there and back.” Other reasons are—
the comfort in driving a Buick—the velvet clutch
action, easy steering; then the power and quiet
ness of Buick’s Valve-in-Head engine and the
' safety of Buick mechanical four-wheel brakes.
