SANDY SPRING YEGG
CAUGHT IN TOLEDO
John Kelley, Who Broke Jail in
Baltimore While Awaiting
Trial, CAPTURED.

One Of the most notorious OF the
bandits alleged to have robbed the
bank at Sandy Springs, Md, nearly a
year ago and killed Francis Hallowell,
an official of the institution. was re-
captured yesterday at Toledo o., ac-
cording to word received here by the
local police. To the police he Is known
as John Kelly, of New York city.
Kelly is not only wanted for a1leg-
ed participation in the robbery of the
bank at Sandy Spring. but he Is also
wanted by the Baltimore authorities
for taking part in the robbery OF the
James r. Armiger Jewelry Company
a year ago last March. That was
one Of the most sensational robberies
that had ever occurred in the Oriole
city.
In daylight nve men, occupying
seats in an automobile alighted from
the car and while two men stood
guard with pistols in their hands
one Of them smashed the window and
stole a tray of diamonds worth about
$4,000. Three Of the men indicted
in connection with the robbery Of the
bank are serving long prison terms.
Kelly escaped from the Baltimore
city Jail shortly before the time set
for his trial at Frederick.

.AOVENT|STS TO.
COLLEGE.
Takoma Park institution In
adequate-Larger Tract of
Land Is Sought.

Washington Missionary College,
the Seventh-Day Adventist insti-
tuition in Takoma Park, will be re-
moved and located elsewhere, ac-
cording to a recommendation made
by the general conference commit
tee yesterday, during the spring
council that is being held in the
headquarters building.
LOOKING FOR LOCATION.
A committee Of fifteen was appoint
ed to find a suitable location some
where in the East, with a result that
1t is possible the institution will be
located again near Washington on
the $50 acre farm Of the Washington
Sanitarium. This site Is being con-
sidered. although II 10 said the com
mittee is favorably disposed to a loca-
tion in some other section OF the
East
Elder e. X. Slade. president OF the
Atlantic Union Conference suggested
that the institution should be located
along the Hudson River while officials
Of the Columbia Union Conference
seek site in Eastern Pennsylvania.
DORMITORIEs PLANNED.
During the discussion II waS
brought out that the college should
have dormitories to accommodate at
least 400 students and should be To-
Gated on a farm where agriculture.
horticulture and mechanical trades
can be taught. This gives rise to the
suggestion that the farm Of the Wash
ington Sanitarium might be suitable.
Its nearness to Washington was urge d
in its behalf
II WAS made clear that the lirnit ei
dormitory facilities of the present COL
lege necessitates a building program.
Nearly 200 students are forced to find
odations in the homes sur
rounding the college. There is a pos
sibility that the group of buildings
belonging to the college will be pur-
chased by the Washington Sanitarium

WATSON TO Be
FIRE MARSHAL
"Chief Engineer" Will Have
Title Changed Under Plans
Now Discussed.

Commissioner Oysters inquiry
into the equipment of the Fire De-
partment of the District, which was
started several days ago, probably
viii lead to changes within the or
ganiZation.
In the near future the head of the
Fire Department will be designated
as Fire Marshal instead OF Chief
Engineer. as at present.
NO CHANGE IN OFFICIALS.
This will not mean any change in
the present head of the department
it is said; Chief Watson, who was
formerly fire marshall. merely resum-
ing his old title. while the designac
ton Of chief engineer will go to some
other official.
This change is due, it is said. to
the fact that the present day nre de-
partment is more of a ire prevention
organization than q fre fighting or
sanitation. Chicago's fre CHIEF Is
designated fre marshall and prece-
dent thus justifies the change.
Commissioner oyster has taken
great interest in the work Of the nre
department and has had several long
&C nferences with Chief watson.
Neither the Commissioner nor the
Chief would say wliat was discussed
at the conferences.
No report has been received from
Bureau of Standards concerning
equipment tests. Chief Watson said
today that he expected the report in
a few days. Speaking of the tests
for the life nets, which Commissioner
oyster learned had not been tested In
years, Chief Watson said that life
net had never been used in an actual
fire in the District of Columbia al
though drills were held regularly at
the truck houses.
Chief Watson said that Washing
ton. due to the strict enforcement OF
the fire regulations, could not have a
big fire, such as other cities have ex-
perienced. He said that enforcement
of the regulations will be the princi-
pal work of the fire department while
he is at the head of IL.
Europe surpasses the United States
in fire department matters, the Chief
said, and will continue to do SO until
the people OF this country adopt Eu-
ropean methods. He cited the regula-
tions of several European countries
where persons who have fires in their
houses, necessitating the calling out
of the fire department, are hned.
II this method was in vogue in
this country, he said, the number OF
fires would be so small that many
fire insurance companies would 90
out OF business.

RETAIL PRICES ON
TOBACCO TO STAND
Reduction in Southern Whole
sale Markets Will Not Affect
Quotations Here.

The recent slump in Southern to-
bacco will not affect the prices OF re-
tail tobacco for year or two, because
il will require that time to be cured
before 1t is used for manufacturing
purposes. according to opinions ex-
pressed by Washington tobacco men.
"It must also be remembered that
there was no increase in the retail
price of tobacco until three years
after prices began advancing on other
commodities" said d. Loughran today,
of the firm of ID. Loughran & Sons,
one of the oldest tobacco firms in the
city.
1.-THE prices OF some types OF to-
bacco have increased not over 13 per
per cent, as compared with an aver
age of over 300 per cent on nearly all
other commodities"
Tobacco men also claim that the
large tax imposed on cigars and Gig
arettes by the Internal Revenue Bu-
reau is included in the purchase
price, which amount to 3 cents on a
package OF ten cigarettes and 8 cents
on package containing twenty
cigarettes.

PLAN CHANGES
IN BIG MARKET.
Survey Of Conditions at Center
Mart Being Made BY De-
partment Specialists.

Studies Of the Center Market prob
lens are being made by two special
lists Of the Bureau Of Markets, De-
partment of Agriculture, and from
their report will develop, to a large
degree, just what use the department
will make of the Washington Market
Company property.
TO MAKE THOROUGH SURVEY.
C w. Kitchen, specialist in fruits
and vegetables, and L c. Franklin,
specialist in cold storage, have been
detailed by the Bureau of Markets to
make a preliminary survey OF the
conditions at the big market. They
, viii include in their survey the mode
of doing business by the merchants,
the number Of employees and the cost
of operation.
After the report is made a COM
I mission Of three will be appointed by
the President to appraise the prop
erty Of the Washington Market Com
pany and after the award Is paid the
market will be operated by the De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The idea that underlies the taking
over of the market by the Depart
partment will be able to control
prices and that the cost Of foodstuffs
will be reduced. The market is now
, being run as a private enterprise, and
IT Is not the intention of the depart
ment to disturb the rentors of stalls
who have been in business there for
several years
MAY RESTRICT DEALERS.
Just what reforms the Bureau of
; Markets will recommend Is no.
known. At present the market is uset
by both wholesalers and retailers and
they handle many lines. even dry
goods and hardware in addition to
meats, fruits. vegetables. fish and
other products. 1t Is believed tnat
the Department of Agriculture, which
will have exclusive Jurisdiction over
the market, will force out the dealers
in dry goods and hardware and make
1t q market place for foodstuffs only
Under the law which was passed
March 4 last. in appointing the CON
mission to obtain possession of the
market, the President 10 prohibited
from appointing anyone on the com
mission who has been a former men,

PUT ON
YOUR MUzzLE
It's Tough, But Major Gessford
Says You're Biting Too
Many Children.

More vigilance in enforcing the

major that fifteen children had been
attacked by dogs during the past ff-
teen days.
The latest victim is Catherine Kara
dimos, 922 Twenty-seventh street
northwest. She was attacked yestcr-
day afternoon.
POLICE ORDER OT DOGS.
The police order follows:
Reports are coming in of quite a
number of persons being bitten by
unmuzzled dogs and your attention
is directed to the necessity of bring
ing about an absolute compliance with
the proclamation Of the Commission
ers that every dog should wear a
good and substantial muZzle, securely
put on, so as to prevent it from biting
or swapping
"You will, therefore, pay strict at
tention to this important matter and
endeavor in all instances where the
law has not been complied with to
reach the owners and secure prosecu-
ton in court. and in cases where
large numbers of unmuzzled or tramp
dogs assemble you will communicate
with the Health Department in order
that these dogs may be taken up by
the poundmsster."

THIEVES
IN GUN FIGHT
Police Believe Man With Wound
ed Arm Was Hit at
Rabbits Home.

The man who applied at Emer-
gency Hospital early this morning
for medical attention for a
wounded arm is one of the thieves
who attempted to rob the home of
Rabbi George Silverstone, 410 X
street northwest, shortly after last
midnight, the police believe.
OFFICERS FIRED AT CAR.
The hospital caller may have been
shot by Policeman A. l.. Coffren as
the former was speeding away in an
automobile.
Despite the fact that thieves stole
imported wine valued at 81 900 from
the home of Rabbi George Silver
stone, 41O X street northwest, late
Friday night, they returned this
morning and tried to steal the rest OF
the wine that the rabbi had on his
premises.
The robbery was frustrated by Po-
licemen c. w. Reid and r. L. Coffren.
who were standing near the alley In
the rear of the Rabbits home when
they heard some loud oaths. Upon
investigation they discovered two men
running from the yard toward a high
powered automobile. Coffren attempt
ed to halt the machine by stepping in
front of it. but the operator tried to
run him down. The officer opened fire
and the occupants of the machine
fired back.
LARGE CAR SHOWS SPEED.
Policeman Reid also opened fire
and in all about twenty shots were
exchanged. The policemen comman-
deered a car and chased the alleged
robbers for six blocks, but the larger
car became lost in the traffic.
AS the two men were running from
the yard of the X street address they
we're encountered by Clarence Thomp-
son, colored, of Copley courts south
west and he was commanded at the
point of a pistol. to stand aside until
they got into their machine.
Cohren said he believes that one Of
the bullets struck an occupant of the
machine. There is no doubt that
the men are bootleggers," he said
this morning.
According to the report made to
the police Saturday morning, eighty
gallons of Spanish wine were stolen
from the rabbits home. There were
FIVE white men and two negroes in
the car that attempted to rob the
rabbits residence this morning, ac-
Cording TO the police.
