SEEKS TO PROVE
OFFICIAL GIVEN AUTO
Prosecution in War Fraud Suit
Indicates Lumber Man Pre-
sented Valuable Car.

Testimony tending TO show that
Charles S. Shotwell, former chief Of
the sales branch of the air service
and one of the alleged conspirators
on trial before Justice Bailey and q
jury in Criminal Division 2 of the
District Supreme Court in the lum-
Der fraud case, received an expensive
automobile from Frank T. Sullivan,
lumber merchant, of Buffalo, n. Y,
and also on trial, in furtherance Of
the alleged conspiracy against the
United States, was introduced today
by the prosecution.
George w. Dunlop of Buffalo testi-
fed that he had bought several cars
during the shortage of delivery in
war time and that he sold one Of
them to Sullivan. He received in pay
ment a check of Sullivan for $4,000
from the daughter of Sullivan, but
never saw Sullivan until after the
purchase, when Sullivan was a pas
senger in the car when it stopped at
the home of the witness to get some
skid chains which he had neglected
to put in the car at the time of the
sale
Gustav c. Miller, secretary of state
of New York, who had charge of
motor registrations at Buffalo, testi-
fed that when the car in question
was registered it was placed in the
name of Charles s. Shotwell. The
government in its opening statement
said il would show that Sullivan had
given the car to Shotwell.
c. p. Cronk of Maplewood, n. j.,
formerly in the air service under
Shotwell, testified as to efforts made
to prevent the sale of lumber from
the air service which was needed by
the government, and told of efforts of
John l.. Phillips to have the lumber
released under the general contract
to dispose of surplus lumber. The
witness identified a number of inter
departmental communications relat-
ing to the disposition of the air serv-
ice lumber, and these letters were
read to the jury by counsel for the
prosecution.

DISTRICT HEADS ASK
SCHOOL CHANGES

Recommendations to discontinue
use of rented buildings for school
purposes and to eliminate fire haz-
proved by the District Commissioners
today. The recommendations were
sent to the board of education.
Fire Marshal Achstetter made a
survey of six schools. One Of them
an atypical school at Is 5th street
northeast, is to be discontinued. He
recommended that woodwork, joists
and other inf1ammable materials be
covered with sheet metal in each of
extfnguishers be provided in some
and especial attention given to stair
ways in others. These five schools
are the Atypical School at $40 9Th
street southwest the Domestic Science
and Manual Training School at 214 H
street, similar school at SAG MaSSa-
chusetts avenue northeast, an atypical
school at 1340 G. street northeast and q
domestic science school at 1901 K street
northeast.
Report of Fire Marshal.
In forwarding the recommendations
to the Commissioners, Chief George
Watson advised that a full copy of
the report of the deputy fire marshal
be transmitted to the board of educa-
ton and that the board of education
be advised that carrying out of rec
Communications would not place the
rented buildings occupied as schools
in such conditions as regards fire
hazards to justify continuation Of
their use indefinitely. Adoption of
the recommendations, he said, would
only mean an improvement and not a
complete elimination of risk.
The use of rented buildings" said
Chief George Watson, especially
those not OF fFepreof construction
and those more than one story in
height, should be discontinued. This
is Particularly the case with refer
ence to school accommodations for
atypica1 children, as such children
should, in the opinion of the fire de-
partment be provided with every
possible safeguard"
The Commissioners placed a stamp
Of approval on this report.
