Rejected SOLDIER
FIGHTS TO END LIFE
Girl and Mother Burned by
Poison in Struggle to Take
Bottle From Him
DRANK POTION AND MAY DIE

Bernard Parr. a private in Company
NJ. Eighteenth Infantry. at Camn Dix,
is in the Northeastern General Hospi-
tai in serious condition from poison
taken after a struggle in which q girl
who refused to marry him tried to
knock the poison from his hand.
The girl. Harriet Hanson. seventeen
years old is confined to bed at her
home, 1929 Fast Wishart street, Rich
mond. with grip and is grief stricken
over the recent death Of her brother as
we'll as the soldiers attempt at suicide.
Her hands. as we'll as her mothers, are
burned bv the poison that spilled from
the bottle during her struggle with the
soldier.
Miss Hanson's brother. John +.
Hanson. was the taXicab driver fatally
wounded last week in front of the
Bellevue Stratford Hotel when struck
by bullet from his revolver that fired
when it dropped from his pocket TO
the street. He was buried from her
home Wednesday.
Parr. who is twenty eight yeans old
and has been on a furlough at his home.
2139 North Hone street. went to the
Hanson home at 9 o'clock last night.
Miss Hanson. known to him only two
months. left her sick bed, dressed and
received him.
well what about it?" Parr asked
"what about what?" she asked.
"You know" the soldier said, re-
ferring to his proposal of month ago
that was unanswered.
"No. not until June" Miss Hanson
told him.
Parr then drew the bottle containing
the poison from his pocket and declared
his intention TO drain it.
Miss Hanson screamed for her moth
or, Mrs. Margaret Hanson. and together
they struggled to gain possession of the
poison bottle.
Parr had removed the cork TO carry
out his threat, and some Of the liquid
apil,ed on their hands. The soldier
finally broke away from the girl and
her mother and ran from the house.
4 few minutes later he drained the
contents Of the poison bottle while
standing at Kensington and Allegheny
avenues.
Physicians hold out little hope for
his recovery. The soldier has been in
the service seven years and is an over
seas veteran.

DISTRICT POLICE
COURT HAMPERED
BYLACK OF FUNDS
Congress Will Be Asked
To Remedy Present
Conditions.
WORK INCREASES
Thirty-Five Employees Given
Average Salaries of Little
More Than 81, 900.

Increased activity in the Dis
trict Police Court is forcing this
branch OF government into bank
ruptcy. Congress, through pleas
from the District committees, will
be asked next week to investigate
financial conditions of the Police
Court, with a view OF amending
present stringent conditions.
An increasing number Of cases in
the past two years, without a cor
responding increase in fines and
forfeltures-with which the court
is maintained-is the cause of the
dificuIty.
In 1902, when the financial ONCE
was established by Frank Sebring,
clerk Of the court, the amount de-
rived from fines and forfeitures was
approximately $67,900. The addi-
tional work which the court must
undertake is shown by the increase
in fines and cases which have ap-
peared in the past six years.
Increase Nearly Sixty Per Cent.
In.I9I5 the amount paid into the
United States Treasury from fines
and forfeitures in the Police Court
was S114,36s, and 31,74S cases were
brought up for trial. Since that
time the figures have increased an
nualIy, as follows:
In 1915. forfeltures and fines,
S12T,s37; cases heard, 1885.
In 1917, forfeitures and fines,
s1s5,554; cases heard, 36,4sS.
In 1918, forfeitures and fines,
S217,45S: cases heard, 36.063.
In 1919, forfeitures and fines,
