PORTABLE SCHOOLS
/. FOUND ENDURAbLE
Committee Concludes They
Are Not Ideal, But Answer
Their Purpose.

Conditions In portable schoolhouses,
while not ideal. are not as bad as
they have been painted. the health
and sanitation committee of the Dis
trict Public School Association re-
ported today to President julius L.
Peyser.
The committee, which was headed
by DR.. Louise Taylor Jones, recon-
mended. however. that none bf the
one-room makeshift schoolhouses be
used to house the small primary
grade children during bad weather.
selden NJ. Ely, supervising principal
of the fifth division. already has
notified the association that no first
and second grade children would be
assigned to the portable schools in
his district. Similar action is Aon-
templated in other divisions through
out the city. it is understood.
One Of the principal objections to
the assignment of small children in
the portables was that they were
forced to cross the school yards in
bad weather in order to reach the
layatories and that thereby they en-
dangered their health.
The investigation by the associa-
tion committee showed that pupils in
the portables in many instances pass
ed physical examinations with high
er rating than those in the main
buildings. The belief was expressed
that this advantage will be offset by
conditions in bad or cold weather.
A special report on heating and ven-
tilation Of portables now Is being
prepared by DIR. Jones committee.
The committee also is proceeding
with the measurement and physical
examination of school children and
will soon have a report to make on
the physical fitness of the average
school child.

ALLEGES DUNCAN
FIRED FIRST SHOT
Testimony in Case of Cope
land Charged With Killing
Police Lieutenant.

The prosecution today introduced
witnesses who told of the shooting
of Police Lieut.. Dunigan. May 81.
1918, by Herbert L. Copeland, colored.
who is on trial for his life before
Justice Bailey and a jury in Criminal
Division /. Arthur Barnes, a half
brother of the accused, at whose
home, 1400 Carrollburg street south
west, the tragedy occurred. was called
as a government witness, but on
cross examination declared that
Lieut.. Dunigan fired the first shot.
This evidence tends to support the
claim of attorneys for the negro that
he acted in self-defense in shooting
the police lieutenant, and that he
should not be held for murder in the
first degree.
Defense Outlined.
In his opening statement outlining
the defense Attorney Henry Lincoln
Johnson asserted that the killing
grew out of an alleged attempt to
kidnap Copeland from his home. 76
/ street street northeast, where Dep
uty Sheriff Mcfarland and officer
Conrad were killed Fleeing to his
brothers home. said the lawyer, the
accused man first knew of the ar
rival of the officers of the law by
volley from gun. In answering
that shot in defense of his life Cope
land killed the officer. the lawyer
said.
Sergt. r. H. Beckley of the metro
politan police testified to a conversa
tion he had with Copeland at the
hospital, when Copeland thought he
was dying from the wound received
in his fight with the law officers. The
od I
testified.
Witness Put ON stand.
Assistant United States Attorney
Emerson called Barnes, the half
brother of the accused. He said Cope
land came to his home in South WASH
ington with gun in his hands and
told him he had killed two officers:
When Lieut.. Dunigan and his squad
knocked on the door the lights went
out and Copeland ran to the rear of
the house, the witness stated. He
heard only two shots, he said, and in
answer to a query from the counsel
for the defense declared the officer
shot first
SeIf-Defense Is Plea.
Counsel for Copeland outlined the
defense yesterday afternoon. Attor-
ney Henry Lincoln Johnson claimed
that Copeland acted in self-defense
when the police lieutenant and a
squad of officers broke into the house
at 400 Carrollburg street southwest
with a gun fusilade.
The killing of Deputy Sheriff Nc
Partland of Maryland and of officer
Conrad, at IS l street northwest re-
suited. according to the lawyer, in
an attempt to kidnap Copeland and
take MIN into Maryland. Copeland
then sought asylum at the house in
Southwest Washington and his first
notice of the arrival OF the officers of
the law was a volley from gun. In
the answering fire the police lieuten-
ant was killed. Johnson claimed his
client could not be held for first-de-
gree murder as his home had been
violated by the officers.
Assistant United States Attorney
Emerson made the opening statement
OF the case for the prosecution. He
said the government expected to
prove that Copeland. fearing capture
by Dunigans- deliberately shot and
dict Of guilty of murder in the first
degree, he said.
