JURY TO PROBE
DEATH OF YOUTH
Officer Slayer to Stand
Alone When Shooting
Case Is Aired.

Facing a charge of murder. former
Policeman Henry Arthur Starr, re-
sponsible for the death, Wednesday,
of Leo A. Mcleod, Is years old, will
probably be called before the grand
jury this morning to enter q legal
battle for liberty and possibly life.
The case against the former police
mar hinges on the fact OF whether he
was justified In firing on a car without
being certain that a crime was being
and when his life was not
in danger.
Inspector Grant said last night that
the former patrolman acted without
authority and directly against police
regulations. which specifically provide
that an officer must not use his re-
volver or baton except in self-defense.
The three companions Of the slain
youth will appear against the for
mer patrolman. and it is believed
evidence will be submitted which
will show that the boys were merely
exuberant and not violating any
civic ordinances.
Attorney Michael +. Mangan will
appear in defense of Starr.
Apparently the police department
will not endeavor to support the
former patrolman. as Maj, Pullman
said last night Starr was not justi-
fed in using his revolver.
The body Of the dead boy was re-
moved to his home. $40 8 street
yesterday. Funeral serv-
Ices win be held from ST.. Martins
Church this morning at . o'clock.
Interment viii be at Mount oIiyet

BOYCOTT URGED
TO CUT PRICES
Move to Reduce H. c. of L.
Begun Under Nose of
Senate Probers.

niRh3 rndey the sery more of the
Senate cenmittee that is preparing
to investigate the high cost of liv-
ing in washington-in the Capitol
Building itseif--a movement is on
foot TO lower the cost of living
without waiting for the result of
the food Investigation.
The author of this movement is
Edward H. Frederick. secretary to
Representative Thompson. of Ohio
He advocates a boycott of not only
the Capitol restaurants. but those
nearby as well. who are alleged to
be selling food at prices higher
than they should be.
He proposes formation of an or
ganization composed of all secre-
taries to Senators and Representa-
tives and clerks in the two ONCE
buildings and Capitol building to
combat the ever-increasing cost of
food products.
The Civic Betterment Association
has approved the idea and has in
formed Mr.. Frederick that all as
sistance necessary will be forth
coming.
All day yesterday oficers of the
association were kept busy with
callers who offered numerous sug-
gestions along this line. The pro-
prietor of a downtown hotel called
at the headquarters. 1905 H street.
and gave Colonel Mcintosh figures
which will be submitted to the SEN
ate Committee for use in the pro-
posed investigation. He told COL
onel Mcintosh he bought potatoes
by the barrel, paying at the rate of
SIS centya peck. He was very much
surprised when shown figures from
a GEORGETOWN merchant who was
selling the self-same product at re-
tail for S5 cents a peck.
This same hotel man also stated
that carloads of strawberries were
allowed to rot by merchants to
whom they were consigned rather
than to sell them at a reduced ng-
ure. other products were treated
the same way, he said.

NEGRO ROUNDUP

able colored citizens. on the other.

amined in the past week. only three
are held for further Investigation.
Working on the assumption that the
man will return to one of the scenes
of his crimes. police are closely
guarding such points and OBTAINING
every belated traveller.
In spite of the good work done
b ymany citizens in rounding up
suspects in the case, the police have
been put to quite a little. incon-
venience. ccording to Inspector
Grant. by excitabie persons putting
the authorities on the trail of men,
without first investigating their
actions.
Negroes of the better class are
incensed at the invasion of. their
homes by the police. They ask that
the police use more discretion when
searching their homes.
The case has narrowed down" /"

we can do is round up all negroes

DUE NEXT WEEK
Products VIII Be Placed on
Sale Immediately at
Three Markets.
HOPE TO EXTEND PLAN
Further Savings Possible by
Using Schools as Store,
Is Belief.

The first consignment Of surplus
food from army supply depots in
Baltimore Is expected to reach, this
city either Monday or Tuesday of
next week, and be placed on sale
within twenty-four hours OF its ar
rival. The consignment Is said to
contain 32,15o pounds-one carload.
John G. McGrath stated last night
that this carload lot Of food Is not
expected to accomplish wonders but
will demonstrate the fact that once
the storehouses and markets OF this
city are equipped to handle carload
lots of produce. a means of saving
more money will be open to the city's
housewives.
No attempt is made to belittie the
Importance Of this consignment of
food. but McGrath is seeking places
where he can store and handle prod
ucts from elsewhere. which he is sure
could be obtained at just as great
a saving as Is expected to be made
on the army food.

The prevailing sentiment among
Senators with respect to the Presi-
dents address may be summed up
in the one word: disappointment.
On both sides of the chamber,
among the Democrats as well as
among the Republicans. there was
a general feeling that the address
did not come up to expectations.
The Democratic Senators, espe-
cially those who are leading the
administration's fight for the league
Of nations. looked for a succinct and
specific analysis which would fur
nish them ammunition and argu-
ments in their campaign; instead of
giving them this. the President dealt
only in generaIities devoid of tren-
chant facts
Democrats Disappsinted.
Many Of the Democrats. after the
speech had been heard. privately
gave expression to their disappoint-
ment and betrayed considerable dis
tress over the Presidents failure to
touch upon such pertinent issues as
the Shantung award and to give ar
guments to Justify Article 10 OF the
the storm center of the
night.
The speech was sharply criticised
by the Republican Senators as being
"a fine address without ,enIiEhten-
p.ent." Most of tue Republicans
praised the phraseoIogyt OF the
speech. but resentsd the President's
failure to tell them anythins about
the reasons which prompted the
treaty makers to incorporate into
the treaty such arrangements as the
shantung decision and some of the
salient features Of the league cove
nant.
Here are comments by some of the
Senators on the speech:
REPUBllCANS.
senator Borah Of Idahs-"As
listened to the message I felt that
the entire argument made by the
President to the effect that the league
of nations was league for peace
was answered by the single paragraph
that while he WIS absent he made a
definite alliance for war by means
OF the Anglo -French-Am treaty.
Senator Capper Of Kanxas-'The
speech was very fine to listen to, but
gave US no information. 1t was merely
a pleasant address: 1t told us nothing
about Article 10 nor about the Shan
tung procedure nor about any OF the
other matters in which the Senate in
interested. I am more firmly con-
vineed than ever that I shall have
to vote for reservations"
senator Spencer Of Misseuri-"It
was a most scholarly and interesting
general review of general conditions.
It is unfortunate that there was no
mention of American rights nor ex-
PLANTATION Of those provisions in the
treaty like the Shantung award.
