CLAIM
Telephoned Fake Order For
Party and to Pay for
Package, Say Police

John William Stinchcombe,
thirty, of 1918 Fourth street
southeast, was turned over to the
Maryland police today on a charge
of embezzlement.
Stinchcombe, a waiter at fash
ionable Washington country club,
was taken into custody on COM
plant of club officials, who
charged that he had delivered a
cease of bricks" for a case of
wet goods.
TeIephOned Orders.
According to Sheriff j. Stanley
Gingell, Stinchcombe, posing an q
wealthy member of the club, under
and assumed name, made reserva-
lions over the telephone for &C.
commodations to hold a party.
He then ordered attendants at
the club to take a package"
which would come marked &c. Q.
-. Tor MIN.
The package shortly thereafter
arrived, being delivered by Stinch-
combe. 1t was marked &C. o. D.
$50" Stinchcombe accepted the
SIS.
When the accommodations re.
served by the club-member were
not used the club officials became
suspicious and opened the C. o. D.
package to find that it contained
one dozen bricks.
Confessed, Claim.
The walters connection with the
case came under suspicion when
he failed to show up for work the
following day.
Local police, on word from the
Maryland authorities, went to hia
home on Fourth street and arrested
him this morning just as he was
fixing to leave for New York.
According to the police, Stinch-
ccmbe confessed to the fraud.

PARKING
PROBLEM|S
HARD0NE
District Commissioners Take
Up Many Plans in Hope
Of Finding Solution

The parking problem is still occu.
plying the attention of the District
commissioners. No solution is yet
in sight. Commissioners ]. Franklin
Bell declared today that while it
was desirable that the parking regu.
lations be strictly enforced, particu.
larry against the all-day parker, the
result would be that the congesteo
area In downtown washington
would extend for blocks beyond the
prescribed limit,
1T means the creation OF another
coaSested area" Major Bell said.
Commissioner James f.. Oyster in.
dictated today he was considering an
extension of the congested area.
He also has several other plans for
improving the situation under con
sideration.

Court ShowsNo Mercy
To Chigger
-
Hunter

Public chigger chasing con-
tests will never become popular.
This was assured today when
Judge Mcmahon, in Police Court,
fined Ira T. Bryan, Of 408 Sixth
street northwest, $50 or thirty
days for his individual chigger
hunt.
The trouble began yesterday
afternoon, when Policemen Otto
c. Hauschild and H. A. Cole,
having nothing better to do,
were looking out of their win
dow in the court house.
eff you see what / see," said
Otto to H. A., "go and do your
duty"
So Policeman Cole brought
Mr.. Bryan to court today.
Bryan's explanation that he was
rubbing salve on chigger bites,
oblivious of the fact that he was
standing by an open window,
failed to impress the Judge. He
said, in effect, that Bryan need
not have shown so plainly that
he had been blackberrying.
