Spoony Man In Auto

Thrill to F St.

1t took a man with 80 per cent
nerve to do the stunt, but he
didn't seem to care so long as he
did 1t.
Maybe it was a wager, maybe
just for fun, and, barely possible.
1t was case Of too much love.
But all F street stopped, watched,
laughed and wondered when they
saw this yesterday afternoon
about 2 o'clock:
A five-passenger car came up
Thirteenth street. In it were a
man and a girl With one arm
on the steering wh4el. the other
around the girls neck, the man
was kissing the girl.
The appearance of street car
broke the kiss at the corner. But
hardly had the machine crossed
the tracks when the kissing began
again.
Whoever the couple were, they
kent F street laughing for the
next ten minutes.

SHOP
PROBE HITS
HIGH POST
Carter Likely to Gust Promi-
nent Executive on Strength
of Graft Affidavits.

Eight sworn affidavits alleging
! that one or more of the officials OF
the Government Printing Office ap-
propriated Government material for
! private use are in the hands Of
George H. Carter, Public Printer,
today.
With these affidavits-sworn to,
It is understood, BY electricians at
the print shop--as basis for ac-
tion, Carter is expected this week
to dismiss or demand the resigna-
ton of one of the highest officials
OF the G. p. o.
FACE QUIZ ny CARTER.
This Official, with several others,
will be called before the public
printer today or tomorrow. All will
, be questioned with regard to these
charges, There appears little doubt
today that Carter will diepose Of the
AFFAIR by making several changes in
his force Of officials.
According to reports, these affi-
davits state that wire and other ma
terial used in electrical work was
removed from the Government Print
ing Office storehouse on the requisition
OF high official tn wire Is then
said to have been taken outside and
installed in a private business estab-
lishment nearby.
1t is further stated by several in
close touch with the situation that
these officials have declared recently
that they intended to replace the wire In
short time. Declaration of such
intention, however, will not be ac-
cepted by the Public Printer as an
alibi for removing the material.
REFUSES TO RESIGN.
1t is also reported that this high
Official has repeatedly declared he
will not resign. No designations have
been received from any OF the men
directly or indirectly involved in the
affair 1T was learned today.
The public printer has not yet de-
cided what he will do with the official
suspended several days ago follovi ne
reports received that wire was re-
moved from the storehouse for private
purposes. 1t is possible this official
may clear himself on the statement
that he was following orders from his
superior.
The Times learned today that Ave
officials of the print shop had re-
signed IN the past few weeks. Carter
stated that none of these men vas
connected with the present inquiry.
Whether the designations of thcAc
men were demanded for other reasons
could not be learned
ACCEPTED AT ONCE.
'-The designations were accepted
Immediately upon my receipt of
them" was all Carter would say.
The resigned employees are:
John Alverson. superintendent of
documents.
John j. O'Brien, forman Of the
foundry.
John ]. McCauley. assistant fore
man.
Raymond N. Backcock, in charge
OF the linotype section.
Edwin Walker, foreman of press
work.
other Icsignations are expected
today or tomorrow.
No successors. as FAR as can be
learned. have been named for the
departing officials.
