STRIKE GUARD ARRESTED
FOR CARRYING A PISTOL

Special strike watchmen and police
guards employed to watch railroad
property had better see to it that
they have their proper credentials
before they tote their guns into
Washington.
Charles B. Jones, special officer de.
tailed to the Brunswick, Md, yards,
found this out today to this sorrow.
Jones was arrested by terminal police.
men as he came into Union Station
last night on charges of intoxication
and carrying concealed weapons.
Arraigned before Judge Robert &.
Hardison in the United States branch
Of police court, Jones testified that
he had been employed as a special
officer for several weeks, but that
he had not yet been sworn in and
that he was expecting his papers
today.
Judge Hardison found him guilty
on both charges, but placed him on
probation for six months. A dramatic
element was injected into the case
when, Immediately after sentence
had been imposed, a detective repre-.
senting the chief of police OF Balti-
more, under whom Jones served, ap-
peared in court and demanded that
Jones hand over his police badge.
The Judge directed that the detective

REPORT ON

Appointment Of Fuel Admins

Walter C. Allen, executive sec
retary to the Public Utilities
Commission, today was directed
by the Board of Commissioners
to make a survey of coal sup
plies now in the District or con-
signed here. Upon his report, it
is said, will depend the taking of
further steps, the possible ap-
pointment of a fuel administrator,
and regulation of selling prices.
Bunkering Under Ban.

which has supervision of the Gov

abled to secure substantial
amount of bituminous coal ordl-
narily going to Norfolk for bunker.

of vessels putting into American
ports has been banned:
AS concerns the railroad strike,
the local situation remained today
in the static state which has
marked it ever since the impact
of the shopman's walkout and the
excitement Immediately following
it. The strikers, meeting in Wash
ington Hall, were congratulating
themselves upon their situation If
the executives should accede to
President Harding's proposals for
a resumption Of work. They
claimed soon after they walked out
that the move was "97 per cent
complete" According to their
reckoning. that would leave only
q handful of union men still on
duty in the Washington Terminal
yards, and these would be the only
ones whose seniority rights would
80 ahead Of theirs on return.
Offer Aid on Trucks.
Local heads of the several unions
involved in the strike have made
a strategic move in offering to
waive certain organization rules il
their tender of aid in maintaining
emergency truck trains to pro-
vision and fuel the District in an
emergency Is accepted by the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation.
Ordinarily, men holding union
cards would be prevented from
who were not affiliated with labor
fraternities, as would probably be
the case on the trucks. Because
Of the unusual nature Of the stu
alton, however. these restrictions
would be laid aside il strikers
were called to operate and repair
the trucks, 1t has. been assured.
The Merchants and Manufactur.
ers emergency committee will
meet tomorrow to proceed with a
survey Of Washington's probable
needs In the event of continuation
OF the two strikes and Of facilities
for meeting them.

fired upon Sunday night. She had
forfeited $45 collateral in Police
Court today.
Until my friends, who are con.
nected with "a legation here. return
from Europe" she said today. Il
will not take any action against the
police. At the same time do not
feel that they were justified In shoot
ing at my car. They should be Sc
verely censured for their acts. At
first. I intended taking the matter
up with the governor Of Maryland,
but l have changed my mind.
w. L. Rodgers, one of the two
Montgomery county motorcycle po-
lice who arrested Mrs. Loranger,
and Upton Perrell. Maryland Justice

after the arrest on Wilson lane In
Maryland, to drive to the home OF
Upton Perrell. Maryland justice Of
the peace, at Wisconsin avenue
and Northwest Park, and that
when she refused to go with him
into the house, he said
"All right. lady; II you will prom.
ise me not to drive off, I'll go in
and get the Judge" She gave her
word, he said, but Immediately put
on power and dashed away when
he went to the front door. She did
not voluntarily surrender herself
at sub.T, Rodgers further declared,
but was blocked in by him and
Claggett, his brother officer.
Pernell resented Mrs. Loranger's
description Of his home as "a little
house off the road"
IT'S worth $4,000, lis that a little
shack, he said. It's where I al
ways take collateral on cases Sun.

attributes the fact that 1t was lost
