Trinkle Refuses To Call Extra
Session of Assembly.

SESSION OF ASSEMBLY,
Richmond, Va, Nov, 2S.-On
the present basis OF records and
promises of the members of the
General Assembly of Virginia,
Governor Trinklr is not willing
to call an extra session of that
body to pass on the question Of
raising funds for State Highway
construction purposes. So hel
announced in a statement given
out today outlining his views on
the question. He qualified the
statement, however, with this
declaration
I am still willing to call AL
extra session of the General AS
sembly for a bond issue, provided
the request comes to me from a
substantial majority of the men,
bers of the General Assembly by
December IS, 1922, and BY a sub
stantial majority / mean safe ma.
joritY. Or l am willing to call
an extra session of the General
Assembly for the purpose Of rails
ing funds for 1928, or for the
purpose of providing funds for
paving as you go, provided sub
stantial majority OF the members
of the General Assembly request
the call of the same for either
one of the plans" In closing, he
pointed out that the General AS
sembly can convene on applica-
ton of two-tllirds of the members
of both houses and when in SEES
sion can consider any matters
they desire to consider.
He also pointed out in the
statement that only forty-eight
members of the House had re.
quested him to call an extra ses.
sion and this lacked three of be.
ing an actual majority. One
member wrote that if fifty mem
bers were pledged to support the
bond issue he would agree to
cast the deciding vote III its
favor.
Sixteen members of the Senate
had requested the call for an ex.
ira session, he said. and three
others had offered to support the
bond issue, but had made no re-
quest for tile extra session. This
gave assurance of only nineteen
out of forty members OF that body
in favor of the bond issue.
In the course of his statement,
he also said:
I want to state as emphatic
allv as l can that l am most
deeply interested i'll the develop.

that a gasoline tax is to be levied
to automatically take care of the

that might be proposed by the

NDCkLE SLAYER,
DETECTIVES SAY
California Prisoner Declares
He Killed District Merchant
Eleven Years Ago.

Local police are convinced trat
Albert Gleason, arrested some time
ago in California on the charge OF
highway robbery. had nothing to do
with the murder of William II.
Mickle, who was beaten to death
eleven years ago In his small to,
bacco store at Seventh street and
Mt Vernon place. Gleason told the
California authorities that he had
murdered Mickle and word to that
effect was Immediately flashed to
Inspector Clifford l.. Grant, chief OF
detectives. Grant and Detective
Sergt. Edward j. Kelly, who spent
a month in the Western State On a
vacation, returned last night and
said, they had carefully questioned
Gleason as to his part in the brutal
murder, but were convinced that he
was not guilty Of the crime.
Grant said Gleason's object was to
be removed to the East SO that he
might get away from the West
coast, where highway robbers are
being given the maximum penalty.
Had he been brought here many
months would elapse before he would
be brought TO trial. and by that
time the people Of the Western
State would probably be In q better
mood.

DISTRICT To GET
CREDIT,
WORkERSFEEL
Precedents Found for Drawing
On SIS, Tied Up
In Treasury.

Congressional Investigators of fis-
cal relations between the District
and Federal governments will rule
that the Districts S5,000,00 surplus
in the Treasury may be drawn upon
by the municipal government for its
own purposes, II was foreseen today
by workers on the complex financial
problem.
Precedents for the validity of the
Districts claim to the frozen credit
were uncovered by the score and
cover a period from 1884 to 1920. Be.
tween these years, II was shown, the
District has been permitted, legally
to pay its debts to the Federal Gov
ernment from its accumulated reve-
nues in the Treasury.
This arrangement was approved
by Congress for Districts debts to
the National Treasury In the 1919
appropriations bill. The measure
provided that the Treasury should
transfer to the account OF the Dis.
surplus needed to pay the city's
debts.
S7,547,53l Paid OFF.
II was in this manner that the
District discharged obligations 10 the
United States totaling s7,547, ,531 rs
between 1910 and 1920. Those debts
were incurred by the Washington
Market Company. Freedmen's Hos.
pital. st. Elizsbeths Hospital. the
criminal division OF the District
Supreme Court and Police Court
among other local institutions.
Maj. Daniel J. Donovan brought
up this matter in a general way
at the last meeting of the joint
Congressional Investigating Com
mittee, with which he works as
representative OF the District.
DR.. William Tindall. h~"d OF the
Informa ton Bureau Of the District
government, recalled the old water
department debt. which arose from
Government under the act Of July
Is. 1889. and other acts for the
extension Of the water supply. the
Lydecker tunnel and other prof.
ects. This is referred to gener-
ally as the tunnel debt"
Precedent Cited.
Under the District appropriate tions
bill OF 1884, Congress directed the
Commissioners to include in their
estimates for the water department
the United States Treasurer's esti'
mates OF the amount necessary to
refund. in twenty-five equal install,
ments. one-half OF the total advanced
by the Treasury. An interest rate
of per cent was authorized.
This amount, including interest
reached a sum Of $1.167, ,907.76. It
was paid partly out OF water depart.
ment revenues and partly out of
District surplus in the Treasury.
The largest payment made out of the
surplus was S300,0 900.
General belief among District Of
ficials is that the probers will rec
ognize these precedents and permit
the District the use OF the $4,000 900
surplus.

Oyster to Present List Of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Likely. y

Inspector Clifford L. Grant,
Chief of the Detective Bureau, re-
turned to Washington from his
transcontinental trip today, and
this afternoon will confer with
District Commissioner James F.
Oyster concerning proposed
changes in the personnel of the
detective office.
1t is an open secret that Com
missioner Oyster will present a
list of Central Office men to In
spector Grant and will allow the
latter to act on their future, as
far as further service in their
present positions matters.
Complaints Received.
"If there are any changes to be
made in the bureau" Commissioner
Oyster said today, they will be
made by the officials connected with
the work more directly than l am.
/ have received complaints about
certain men, and have turned these
complaints over to the more imme-
date authorities to ferret out"
IT Is further said, however, that
some of the men who probably will
leave the detective force are those
who do not work in harmony with
Inspector Grant. AS harmony has
been the watchword of the Sullivan
administration, 1t follows as logi-
cal result that disagreements' will
not be tolerated in the police de.
partment, according to officials
closely in touch with these particu-
lar developments.
Speculation as to the mer who
will stay and those who may go
Is rife. 1t was pointed out to Com
missioner Oyster this morning that
the men in che bureau are stand.
ing on their heads" with anxiety.
Better Stand on Feet"
Then they'd better stand on their
feet" the Commissioner said. 1t
is a generally accepted fact that
men work better that way"
Details on the possible transfer
Of detectives to precincts and their
demotion to uniformed privates are
lacking, officials commenting only
in generalities on the situation.
Rumor gives the number of men to
b echanged at anywhere from four
tn ten.'
