UNCLAIMED WAR
MAIL WILL BE
SOLD
Three Bags of ValuabIes Are
Sent to Dead Letter Office.
Last of Large Amount

Three large mail sacks full of
money, jewelry and other trinkets
originally mailed to American sol
diers in France during the war, but
which, were unclaimed In transit
were turned over to the Postoffice
Department today by Acting Sec
rotary of War Dwight F.. Davis.
Postmaster General New desig-
mated F.. c. StaIey, superintendent
OF the dead letter office to take
an inventory of the goods, and dis
pose of them in the usual way.
The valuables turned over today
are part of a much larger quantity
of such things gathered by the
office of the adjutant general dur
ing and after the war from mail
packages which never reached the
persons to whom they were sent.
In some cases the things were
dropped from packages. Most of
this lost mail has long since been
turned over to claimants, who pre-
scented evidence of their ownership.
The three mail bags turned over
today are all that is left. Claims
have stopped coming in. so they
are being turned over to the dead
letter office for disposal.
Among the goods are rosaries,
manicure sets, hair clippers, razors.
watches, pipes and one doll.

Grand Jury Refuses to Indict
w. Wright-Apparatus on
Car Incomplete

The first case under the new
smoke screen law was ignored by
the grand jury today, which
handed down a list of twenty
eight indictments. The jury re-
fused to indict Wilbur Wright,
who was arrested on June 80 in
an automobile near Seventh and
H streets by Policeman Robert F.
Langdon and Prohibition Agent
Connect.
In searching the car the police
man discovered a smoke screen
attachment, but it was incomplete
and not in operation, lacking a
tank and plunger. The grand
jury found there was no evidence
to show that Wright knew of the
smoke screen device or had been
used by him.
Others indicted were Jones Jones,
assault with intent to kill; Marie
r.. Littleton, assault with intent to
Kill; Archie Chambers, Peter E.
Berg. Alfred r. Knowles, Daniel
Ahmay, Paul Minor, Earl L. Schoo,
John G. Coughlin, Isabel Ford,

Charles 7. Kearney, robbery; James
Otis Grimes, Richard Lipscomb,
and George hurry, non-support;
Ralph Nordan, Norman r. Stifler,
Philip Akurs and Amos r. Steph-
ney, joyriding.
In addition to ignoring the smoke
screen charge against Wright, the
grand jury also ignored charges
against Joseph Hopkins, for house
breaking and Otto Warsco for non
support.

now informs us that the R. r.

we print it because of the
pathos there is in it:

Shiloh Baptist Institutional
Building Suffers $4,000
Damage From Flames

Incendiarism is suspected in the
fire dsicoreved in the Shiloh BapA
fist Institutional Church at Ninth
and P streets northwest today.
Five times since the Hamline
M. E. Church vacated the premises
fourteen months ago for the oc-
cupany of the Reverend ]. Mil
ton Waldron and his congregation,
the fire department has been
called out to extinguish blazes
mysterious in their origin.
Shortly after the night watch
man left his post today, passers-
by noticed smoke ensuing from
the roof and windows of the
organ loft. Three alarms were
sounded.
Breaks Out Anew
Pouring water in the cornice OF
the roof and through broken panes
OF stained glass, firemen gained
control over the blaze in the organ
loft only TO find that tire had
broken out afresh in the edge of
the roof in the front of the edifice.
$50 feet away. This blaze, too, was
soon under control.
Commissioner Frederick Fenning
was present when it was intimated
by members of the congregation
that the fire was started by malici-
Gus persons. A thorough invests
cation was Immediately ordered and
police stopped persons from going
into the damaged building until
this investigation is completed
The Reverend j. Milton Waldron
admitted that 1t was preposterous
to imagine that the fire was due TO
carelessnesS.
As James A. Payne. secretary to
the building committee. confessed
that the suspicion of incendiarism
had been talked over by him and
the secretary to the church, the
Reverend Mr. WaIdrOn plucked at
Payne's sleeve in an effort to
silence him.
Payne's demeanor changed there
after and he said that nothing was
suspected but that an investigation
would be made.
Two Fires in Few Months.
Since a few months ago when
the Shiloh Church acquired a small
residence next door. at 1906 Ninth
street northwest. two fires have
been discovered in that house.
With one blaze in the garage,
f71e 4 m he nf
short time ago and a 81 500 fire in
the church proper previously, in
dignation runs rife among members
of the congregation.
Officers of the church will meet
tonight at o'clock in the Third
Baptist Church, at Fifth and Q
streets northwest, in an effort to
ascertain the reason for the fire.
1t is estimated that the building
was damaged TO tie extent Of about
$4,000. Water drenched the furni-
ture and inner decorations and por-
tions of the roof w.Ie cut away by
the firemen in their efforts to check
the fire. All property is fully COW
cred Dy insurance, according to the
pastor.
Special Waterman
When the previous fires were dis
covered, Speclai Waterman was
get ard police aid WIS given in the
vicinity. In spite VI the diligence
Of the Waterman the building was
damaeed twice more and he was
DISCHARGED. A new Waterman now
patrols the neighborhood.

Howe Totten, owner of a farm in
Virginia, contiguous to the work
house site at Occoquan, $500 dam
ages because escaping prisoners from
the workhouse invaded his land and
frightened the members of his family

which the municipality is responsible

Totten bought his farm in 1905 and

There is a stingrng little storm brew

President Coolidge because the Ameri-

UPHELD BY COURT
Appeals Judge Approves Verdict
Defeating Damage Suit After
Theater Accident.

Because the charge of negligence
was not sustained, the District Court
of Appeals, in an opinion by Chief
Justice Martin, today upheld verdict
in favor of the Knickerbocker Theater
Co, which was sued for $4,000 dam
ages for the death of David Lyman, a
patron of the theater, on the night of
the collapse of the roof OF the build
ing-January 2S, 1922-when large
number of persons were killed and
more than 100 injured. A jury in the
District Supreme Court returned a
verdict in favor of the company, and
this action the appellate court sus-
tainS.
Chief Justice Martin points out that
the trial justice properly instructed
the jury that the plaintiff was not
entitled to a verdict unless they found
the charge of negligence sustained by
a preponderance of the evidence.
Under this instruction the jury found
for the company and the lower court
did not err in refusing to set aside the
verdict.
The Knickerbocker Theater Co. was
represented by Attorney Wilton J.
Lambert, while the plaintiff was rep
resented by Attorneys Chamberlain &
Smith.
