LEADS
To WALK OUT Of
PACKING CREW
rs Quit Frigid Jobs at Alexan-
dria, but "Thaw" Brings
n Back.

Some people just naturally
wouldn't be pleased with any job.
They'd kick on selling $40 gold
pieces for SIS with a 80 per cent
commission, or tending furnaces in
a Siberian hotel in January or
working in a refrigeration plant
during a July heat wave.
Which brings us to the case
in point--a gang Of twenty-five
handlers at the Mutual Lee Com
pany establishment in Alexandra.
After the hundred and 'steenth
Fruit Growers Express car had
been repacked with frozen nuggets
flom the Mutuafs freight platform
Yesterday, the leader of the gang,
blowing on his frigid mitts. allowed:
"Disyere Job too cold for muh"'
Forthwith, he skidded a lump of
ice across the floor, beat his hands
violently on his overalls, and strode
forth-not into the bitter night but
into the sun-baked air Of the yard.
He was followed by his twenty.
four co-workers, all of whom ex.
hibited signs of digital paralysis
and great anguish of mind.
Their hands thawing out during
the night, all but four of the gang
reported for work on the platform
this morning. Officials of the COM
pany admit that packing cars with
ice when the melons and peaches
are running up free from the
South is a mans job. But they
scout the idea that hands get cold.
They get ice-burns, it is explained.
This change of terms doesn't
change the sensation, however.

COURTEOUS POLICEMEN.

Chief SULLIVAN, Of the Police
Department, received a letter a
few days ago from a st. Louis
man that pleased him much. He
had 1t read at roll can, because 1t
is his desire TO have every Wash
ington policeman Of the courteous
type. -.-...--...,
The writer Of the letter said
that he unwittingly violated the
local traffic ordinance designating
the speed limit at eighteen miles
an hour. He was called to ac-
count by Police Officer II. II.
MANSFIELD, OF the Second pre-
cinct. The letter of the stranger
concludes as follows:
81 have driven In practically
all the large cities Of the East and
Middle West. I have happily Rad
but few encounters with the
police, but those apparently neccs-
sary few left an exceedingly bad
taste In my mouth, and a most
thorough and earnest distaste Of
the methods employed. II Is my
wish, therefore, to congratulate
you In having on your force n
man Of the caliber OF Officer
Mansfield. He was not hard.

traordinary. He spoke In normal
tones, was polite and courteous,

II cannot allow the incident to
pass without some expression of
my appreciation Of tho gentle

by an officer of your force"

LIE DETECTOR'
BARRED IN TRIAL
BY CHIEF JUDGE
Mccoy Refuses to Allow Use Of
instrument in Case Of
Alleged Slayer.

The "sphygmomanome or lie
detector, s an instrument Of judica-
ture met an ignominious defeat this
morning at the hands Of Chief Jus.
tice Mccoy, presiding in Criminal
Court No. /, at the trial Of Alphonzo
4. Frye, colored charged with mur.
with the death, November 27, 1920,
of DIR. Robert w. Brown, at the lat
ter's home at 1897 Eleventh street
northwest.
Attorneys Mattingly and Wood,
representing the accused, had, as a
last resort, secured the services Of
DR.. William M. Marston. of Boston,
professor of psychology in the
American University here, to apply
the instrument to the arm of the
accused in open court and to demon.
strate by oscillations of the indi.
Gator that Frye told the truth when
he testified June 10, last, at the tail
regarding the murder.
The court denied the motion TO
admit DIR. Marston to the stand, say.
ing that the court and jury were not
concerned about the statements made
by Frye on July 10 that they were
only concerned in what the defendant
testified at the present trial and
whether he spoke the truth then.
Justice Mccoy said the motion TO
have the test applied was belated;
that II should have been made when
Frye was on the stand relating the
circumstances surrounding the case.
This science (referring to the in.
strumenp is not developed to make It
a usable instrument In a court OF
law" commented the Chief Justice.

OF the telegraph or the telephone II
