 UNDER SUSPICION

H. Stanley Crofut, who gave his resi- dence as Washington, D. C., and who claims that he came to Birmingham to aid Mrs. Evelyne Sue Rickner, central figure in a sensational trial at Camp Mcclellan last fall, growing out of the shooting and killing of her husband, Lieut.. James G Rickner, is being held in the city jail on an investigation The charge grew out of an alleged diffi- culty between CrOful anu Mrs. Rickner on a downtown street Monday night.
 According to Crofut. he has known Mrs. Rickner, since before the war days, and knew Lieut.. Rickner before his marriage. Since Mrs. Rickner's acquit- tai at Camp Mcclellan last fall, Crofut claims he has been helping her clear up this purpose in view, he came to Blr- mingham last Friday, Crofut said.
 Securing room at local hotel, Gro fut claims he spent Friday and Satur- day attending to business matters with Mrs. Rickner, When the couple met again Monday, Crofut said, Mrs. Rick ner told of the loss of $10, and accused Crofut of having knowledge of it's dis appearance. When the man denied this, it is alleged that Mrs. Rickner drew a gun and threatened to kill him. Crofut says he took the gun from the woman and was attempting to calm her when officers arrived on the scene and placed him under arrest.
 Crofut is still anxious to aid Mrs. Rickner, he told an Age-Herald repor- ter Tuesday night.

BABIES IN PERIL
FROM FLAMES
At SIBLEY
Workman is Suspected of
Starting Fire That Menaced
Lives of IS in Hospital

Filling a room with smoke, in
which there were more than two
score newborn infants, fire,
which destroyed an awning on
the Pierce street side of the Sib-
ley Hospital, was quickly extin-
guished today when four COM
panies of the fire department
answered the call.
According to attendants at the
hospital, none of the babies was
seriously affected by the smoke,
although at one time it was
thought best to remove the tiny
patients.
AS the firemen dashed through
the room, chemical tanks lowered
dangerously near forty-five little
cribs, their owners blissfully un-
conscious of the excitement.
Origin Mystery.
No authentic reports could be OBJ
tanned as to the origin of the blaze,
although nurses said that workrnen
on the upper floors may have
thrown a cigarette on the awning.
The workmen, however, denied this.
Bystanders said that the fire may
have been started by the careless
use Of blow-torch which a painter
was operating near the window in re-
moving old paint. Damage was es.
timated at about $25,

Bitter Contest is Due at SEES
sion Scheduled Wednes-
day Afternoon

The bitterly contested plan of ex-
tending the platoon system in the
District public schools Will be
threshed out at a meeting of the
Board of Education Wednesday
afternoon in the Franklin School.
The platoon plan was inaugurated
In the Park View School about five
years ago as method of relieving
congestion caused by inadequate IA
cj!ltles. Increasing congestion in
ether sections of the city, and the
failure OF Congress to provide a
building fund to keep pace with the
growth OF the city have led to a
demand for the expansion Of the
platoon idea.
Bitter Opposition.
Many of the school officials are
bitterly opposed to the platoon plan.
on the ground that 1t is a make.
shift, that 1t is inefficient, and that
the present school facilities are not
sufficient to make its adontion nd.
visable.
In the platoon plan the school
auultorlum and playground are
pressed into full time use, as the
cLasSes use them alternately. Many
OF the schools have no auditoriums
ana some have inadequate play.

other school officials are iii favor
OF extension of the plan as far as
possible to build necessary school
buildings.

brought up and may lead to a

Joy Rides In Japan's
Official Cars
Banned

TOKYO, Sept. S.-No more
Joy rides in the official motor
cars of the department of rail-
ways of Japan. This is the first
edict of Doctor Sengoku, newly
named minister Of railways in
Japan. While joy riding in
Japan has been more or less
limited in the past, due to the
poor roads both in the cities
and the suburbs, there has,
nevertheless, developed recently
a custom on the part of minor
officials in the railways depart
ment to take young Japanese
"flappers" into the country over
week-ends in cars which bear
the license plates of the depart
ment of railways.
mot only have the minor Of
ficials used motor cars Of the
department for their own con-
venience outside of the service,
but in some cases they have
taken part in scandalous parties
in official cars" said one official
recently, "and excessive repair
bills have been the result"

scure little road. There was a
small orchestra playing muffled
music for fifty persons who danced.
There were expectations on Long
Island today that in this, the final
week Of his stay, H. r. H, the
Prince OF Wales, might do all sorts
OF things not on his official pro-
gram, now that Sir Esme Howard,
the British ambassador, had shown
him how.
Sir Esme, used to the ways of
diplomacy, adroitly showed Wales
that he might automatically over
come the obstacles to greeting the
United States army round-the.world
niers today at Mitchell Field.
All week the prince had pro.
tested he could not do this, much
as he wished to, because it would
be doing something official during
a visit that was purely a vacation
where he planned to- do nothing
official. In effect, sir Esme said
IAN right. you ret me as British
ambassador do the welcoming and
you may be there as a spectator"
So today Wales planned to be
on hand when the air nagellans
TAXED to a stop in the air field
not far from the Burden estate
where the prince is spending his
holiday.
Wales had tentatively decided to
play at polo again today. This
afternoon he will be the dinner
guest Of the F. Ambrose Clarks OIL
their old Westbury estate.
The prince is eager for the begin
ming Of the international polo
matches Tuesday. They were the
primary reasons for his American
visit.
1t was announced today that un.
der no circumstances would he re.
main here beyond September IA,
when he is scheduled to go to his
High river ranch.
Even though the teams decide the
first two games, making Il third
necessary to determine a victor he
will not remain, 1t was said.
The British heir spent a Sunday
among friends that are near to his
heart-animals. He was at the
Meadowbrook Hunt Club before
noon looking at the British and
American hounds and also cross
breeds OF the two. and looking at
the hunters among the horses
stabbed there.
After that he motored about the
prettier parts OF the island, then
had luncheon on the Burden place.
In the evening he dined at the
Piping Rock Club.
