JANlToR's WIFE BLAMEs GAS
co. FOR DEATH BLAST
Coroner Peter NJ. Hoffman, at the
inquest yesterday, scored Morris
Feldman, janitOr, in connection with
the gas explosion in the 18th pl.
apartment house a few weeks ago.
Feldman had testified that he had
noticed gas escaping in the building
on several occasions. "On Jan. %
I smeIled gas stronger than ever"
he said.
Did you notify the owner Of the
building?" asked Hoffman.
81 asked my wife to- said Field
man.
Then Hoffman jumped on him.
You might have saved these four
teen lives that were lost" he said.
Mrs. FeIdman, the janitor's wife,
then tossed the blame on the Peo-
piles Gas Light and Coke Co. 81 re-
ported the leak to the gas company
several times" she said, "and en-
ployes tried to fix it by stuffing soap
into the leak and by wrapping tape
around the pipe"
She testified that the day before
the blast an intoxicated empIoye of
the gas company appeared to fix the
leak, talked roughly to her and never
returned to keys she gave him to
open the basement.
The inquest was continued Mon
day afternoon until Wednesday
morning. Jurors will visit the scene
of the blast.

SAY THERE is DISORDER
AT TWO PLEASURE PARKS
Anacostia Citizens Renew Their Eff
forts to Close Colored Resorts
in Hillsdale.

Expressing regret and disapproval OF
the action of Commissioner Brownlow
in deciding that there was nothing he
could do toward closing the two color
ed pleasure parks in Hillsdale, men,
bers of the Anacostia Citizens Asso-
citation at a special meeting last night
voted to continue the fight further.
DR.. r. A. Pyles, chairman of the spe-
cial committee. stated that as long as
the police department of the eleventh
precinct continued to favor the parks
and report that there was no disorder
which he said he could prove and had
proved was entirely in error-the
parks would continue to operate. He
also said that during the past week he
had received an anonymous letter Of
fering to sell him Eureka Park at a
large figure, If he was so anxious to
close it up.
that from his investigation he had
found that in former years the sigma
lures attached to the applications for
these parks were far below the requir-
ed number, Notwithstanding the fact
that they were certified as correct by
the police. and that he would prepare
startling charges against the police de-
partment and present them at the next
meeting for action.
William ]. Latimer. a member of the
committee, stated that counsel will be
employed to conduct the fight.
An invitation was received by the
association to participate in the pa
rade on next Tuesday. but owing to the
fact that a number of the members
will be on duty as members of the
Home Defense League and others in
the citizens aid division, it was decid-
ed best not to attempt to put a special
section in the line of march.

CLOTHING is SENT FOR
SUBMARINE REFUGEES
Navy League Ships Secondhand
Garments for Sailors Rescued
in War Zone.

The Navy League announces ship
ment of warm secondhand clothing TO
patrol vessels in the war zone for the
relief of refugees picked up from the
lifeboats of torpedoed vessels. 1t is an
nounced that the shipment was made
through individual channels in accord
ance with the instructions OF Secretary
of the Navy Daniels regarding the
leagues relief work for men of the
navy.
Warm, dry clothing is the greatest
need of the refugees picked up in the
submarine zone, It is declared. Persons
are taken aboard the patrol vessels
who have been adrift in open boats in
bad weather for two days or more.
Oftentimes they are drenched to the
skin, insufficiently clad and suffering
from hunger. Many a sailor of the
patrol forces has robbed himself in
order to give clothing to these poor
victims of frightfulness.
1t is said that a destroyer could carry
enough outfits for twenty persons, the
number apt to be picked up from two
lifeboats. A supply could be maintain
ed at a shore base. IL needed, and every
patrol boat provided with supply of
outfits before leaving for sea.
1t is probable that this relief work of
the league will be extended, but until
specifically requested no person should
Send any secondhand garments for this
purpose to the league, as no use could
be made of them now. When more
clothing is needed the league will give
due notice.

ITEMS OF INTEREST
IN AND ABOUT TOWN
Happenings Of the Day In
Various Parts of the
Nations Capital.

Even habitues most callous to ordi-
nary court procedure seemed to find
interest in the trial of a case in Cir
cult Division. No. ., of the District
Supreme Court today. One attorney,
now in his sixtieth year. who is
known to have a decided dislike to
hearing any case in which he himself
has not the prospect of a fat fee, sat
for more than two hours apparently
listening to the seemingly uninterest-
ing trial.
Standing room in the court was at
a premium when an enterprisins
newspaper reporter with nose for
news" asked: why the interest7'
And the answer was that the girl
students of the National Park Sem
mary, chsperoned by Attorney Harriet
Freebey, who lectures to them on
legal subjects, were in attendance at
the trial. Miss Freebey brought her
pupils to the court house for an OBJ
ject lesson.
And when the court rcconvened
after recess the siXty-yeRr-old attor-
ney who hates court trials in which
he is not a principal figure, was in
his seat, ready for resumption of the
hearing.
