Practical economies in the use of

upon at a conference between the di-

Publishers Association and the COM
mercial economy board of the Council
OF National Defense. Results of the
conference were announced last night

"The publishers and the board merely

SENTENCE
FOR THREE PERJURERS

Justice Stafford. presiding in Criminal
Division /, is determined to break up
what is regarded as a growing practice
of false swearing in that tribunal. On
several occasions the court has had rea-
son to doubt the truth of statements
made, especially where the defense is
an "aIibi," and has called in a stenog-
rapher to take down the testimony.
In a recent trial of an assault by
colored man on boy, three witnesses
were offered by the defense. and one of
them, John Campbell, colored. testified
that he had talked for four hours at a
distant place to the accused at the time
the crime was committed. Two colored
women-Ruth Stewart and Henrietta
Williams - corroborated Campbe1l's
statements. The court ordered the tes-
timony presented to the grand jury
and the three witnesses were indicted
for perjury. They were later tried and
convicted.
While imposing the minimum sentence
of two years in the penitentiary on
each of the perjurers, Justice Stafford
said he had taken cognizance of their
ignorance, which was the sole mitigat-
ing circumstance. The court charac-
terized the crime as the "grossest per-
jury" apparent to all that heard it.

DEMAND CLEAN STREETS
Police and Cleaning Departments to
Punish Persons Who Scatter
Refuse in D, C.

Persons who throw newspapers or
other refuse on the streets may have
to answer for their carelessness in Po
lice Court.
This is a lazy infraction. punishable
by a fine of from 81 to 500, and the
police and street cleaning departments
have started a cooperative campaign
that promises trouble for violators.
A special officer has been detailed to
look for such offenders and promptly
hale them into court. He is just now
giving his attention to the condition of
the capitals alleys and warning prop
erty owners and others against litter
ing up these rravelways with refuse.
Superintendent J. w. Paxton today
said that the throwing of newspapers
into the streets is giving the street
cleaning department more trouble now
than it has in several years. This is
attributed in part to the increased pop
ulation and the fact that the new resi-
dents of Washington are not familiar
with the police regulations.
