OFFICER ON TRIAL
IN FUND SHORTAGE
Capt. Harold A. Barnes Ac-
cused of Larceny at Fort
Myer Commissary.

Capt. Harold A. Barnes. Quarter
master Corps, U. S. a, formerly at
tached to the post at Fort Myer, was
placed on trial before a court-martial
board in the Munitions Building to-
day on a charge of embezzlement, OF
1900 in funds of the commissary, lar
ceny in failing to account for the
money and with making false off1clal
reports When arraigned this morn
ing he pleaded not guilty to all
charges as read by Capt. William J.
Bacon.
The court had been in recess for
several day., as it's jurisdiction had
been attacked by Maj. +. Granville
Munson, counsel for the accused, who
pleaded that there was no authority
for the establishment of the district
of Washington, as the national de-
fense act provided only for the eS-
tabIishment of corps areas in the con-
tinental United States, which were to
include both militia and reserves in
those sections. The district of Wash
ington, he said, is not organized in
accordance with the national defense
act.
Gives Legal Ruling.
Lieut.. Col. James II. Stansfield, law
member of the court. ruled in sub
stance that il does not appear that
Congress intended to take away the
authority of the President, as COM
mander in Chief, to appoint general
officer to command a certain district
in accordance with the eighth article
of war. The district of washington
was organized and placed under
general officer, with authority to con-
Tene courts-martial by direction OF
the President, he said.
Capt. Bacon said Capt. Barnes re-
ported at Fort Myer, Va, about May,
1923, and was relieved May "a, 1924.
About August "a, 1928, he was ap-
pointed an agent officer of the Gov
eminent, when he was detailed by the
post quartermaster in charge of the
sales commisSary. During this period
money from cash sales were turned
over to him and also charge accounts.
In handling this money, Capt. Bacon
alleged, he carried kite" explain
ing that this was a term used when
one was short in his accounts, and
used funds from one day to make up
for those of another. This kite" he
continued, grew larger as the time
went on. The report for January 81,
he said, was never turned in or the
funds accounted for, showing, he al
legged. on behalf of the prosecution,
that the officer was short in his funds.
Books Before Court.
Scores of, books containing carbon
copies of sales slips were laid before
the court, to be used in the evidence,
and Capt. Bacon asked a recess until
1880 o'clock this afternoon in order
to arrange these in an orderly man
ner.
The following constitute the court:
Col. Henry c. Whitehead, Quarter
master Corps. president; Col. Earle
w. Tanner, infantry; Lieut.. Col. Alvin
G. VoriS, Lieut.. Col. Robert Sterrett.
Lieut.. Col. w. r. Pick, Capt. Jared !.

MAY CLOSE SUNSHINE
HOME FOR WOMEN
Poor Condition of Building Is Civ.
en- as Chief Reason for Pro-
jected Move.

Action looking toward the tempo
rary closing of the Sunshine Home
for Women at 339 c street and for
the utilization of the newly organized
Women's Emergency Home at 103 Az
street for such cases as would be de-
prived of shelter thereby will be con-
sidered during the latter part of this
week at a meeting of the Women's
Council at the Wardman Park Hotel
Mr.. and Mrs. E. NJ. Becker, long ex-
perienced> in welfare work, and dur
ing the war connected with the
Georgetown Home for Women, oper-
ated by the Volunteers of America,
will be in charge of the new home on
Four-and-a-half street. The furni-
ture and furnishings of the Sunshine
Home will be loaned to the Emer-
gency Home pending arrangements
for possible reopening of the Sum-
shine Home.
The condition of the building, which
is one of Washington's oldest and
most historic structures, erected more
than 100 years ago, is the primary
reason for the closing of the estab-
lishment, which is self-supporting and
cared for upward of so and 70 women
in need of shelter and lodging.
Miss Clara Nelson, who has carried
on the supervision of the Sunshine
Home for many years, will take a
short vacation during the closing of
the home, after which, she said today,
she would bend her efforts toward
the re-establishment Of the Sunshine
Home for Women.
The house itself, which was used
as residence by John Quincy
Adams, and which was once the CEN
ter of grounds that extended with
a vineyard all the way from street
to Indiana avenue, has but one bath
room, and because of sanitary reasons,
as well as for other causes, it was
deemed impracticable to keep the home
open in it's present condition during
the coming Winter months.
Mrs. L. CONFESS. member of the
board, and descendant Of the early
owners of the home, stated today that
final decision regarding continuation
of the work, for which there is a great
need existent, would be reached within
q few days at the meeting of the
Women's Council.
