drive to get out the democratic vote moved the G. o. P. to a day of earnest campaigning and by the close of the polls a big republican lead was piled up in that district.
 Zapatka Wins in Fifth
 Councilman-elect Frank Zapatka proved the strongest vote getter put forth by the democratic party being successful in gaining a council seat in the fifth ward while his two run ming mates went down to defeat Zapatka defeated Charles Munson, and B. A. Grysbowski, Munson's run ming mate, was elected. Stanley KarpinsN defeated E. T. Ringrose for alderman.
 The sixth ward republican ticket, headed by Attorney Thomas r. Me- DonoGgh as candidate for alderman and with T. J. Meskill and William Day as candidates for Councilmon, failed to show the expected strength and went down to defeat. The sixth ward which in the past two elections had been republican was entrusted to the McDonough- Moskill-Day trio to retain as a G. o. P. district, but the democratic ticket-John MaeTz for alderman. Thomas Fay and Sam Sablotsky for counciImen-wrested control of the ward and sent in q majority of more than 100.

ROBBERS LAWYERS
 MUST FACE TRIAL
Claim They Hid $iOl,OOO Loot
 - From Postal Authorities

Little Rock, Ark, April ib.--An- other chapter of the famous s2,000,- 900 Rondout. Ill., mall train robbery of June. 1924, Is to be unfolded here April 14. when two Little Rock at- torneys arc to face trial in United States District court on charges of secreting and concealing from pos tal authorities s1o1,OO0 of Herbert Holidays share of the loot.
 The two lawyer-defendants are Wallace Davis, q former state at torney general and son of former governor and United States senator. the late Je Davlsff, and Tom Poe, promininet young member of the bar.
 They are co-dofendants with J, c. Mckinney, alleged confidence man, who was Holidays cellmate in a Chicago jail, and who entered the stolen bond case here soon after Holiday had pleaded guilty and failed in an effort to exchange his part of the stolen money for light ening of his 2j-year sentence.
 Davis and Poe were retained by Holiday when he first was arrest cd here, a few weeks after the hold up. Holiday was returned to Chi cago and, along with five other principles, pleaded guilty. Three others were convicted, and all are now serving terms at Leavenworth prison.
 Soon after Holiday was taken to prison, his cellmate, Mckinney, came to Little Rock, apparently fol- lowed by a small army of postal in- epectors. Holidays wife and niece, Mrs. Ellen Holiday and Miss Helen McNeil, continued to reside here.
 Early in January postal inspectors recovered $21,O00 said to have been in McKinney's possession. Mckinney. Mrs. Holiday and Miss McNeil were taken into custody and while they were being held for questioning, s79,000 in Liberty Bonds and other government securities was found in a rural mail box ten miles from the city by postal inspectors who were accompanied by Attorney Davis.
 MT. Davis issued a formel state ment, explaining that he constantly had advised his clients to turn over the stolen money if they knew where it was hidden, and that he took postal inspectors 10 the spot where he had been informed it might be found.
 Mrs. Holiday and Miss McNeil wete released on their own recogni- zance and the matter rested for a month before United States District Judge Jacob Trieber called a special grand jury to investigate the case. This grand jury returned indict- ments against Davis, Poe and Me Kinney. Holiday was brought here from Fort Leavenworth to testify before the jury. His wife and nieces also appeared before the body.
 Davis and Poe pleaded not guilty and were released on s20,000 bonds each. Mckinney, being unable to furnish bond, is being held in jail. Demurrers to the indictments have been overruled, and fedral court 'of- fcials say everything Is in readiness for the trial.

Club last night, under the leader
ship of Percy Bond, to welcome to
Washington Anthony Overton, pres
ident of the only antional bank in
America owned and controlled by
colored people, the Douglas Ma

Among the speakers were John

Doctor Jernagin pointed out that
the pulpit should render all service
possible to business enterprises of

Gated the physical development of
the colOred people, declaring that
no race in this country has cause
to stand as severe physical and
mental strain as his racial GROUP,

American progress.
"The Negro race is too prone to
be followers and do but very little
leading" said John r. Hawkins.

ZONES.
BACKED BY
BELL
Engineer Commissioner Thinks
They Are Practical Outside
Congested Districts

The street car safety zone, now
the subject of a sharp controversy
between the Washington street rail
way companies and the Public IT'LL
tiles Commission, as a result of re-
fusal of the companies to obey the
request of Director of Traffic M.
o. Eldridge to paint the zones, to.
day were defended by Engineer J.
Franklin Bell.
The safety zone should be used
at car stops outside the congested
area, in the opinion of Colonel Bell.
The loading platform is safer in
the downtown section, he believes.
1.-THE safety zone certainly has it's
place." Colonel Bell said. I'm the
sections of the city outside the bust
ness district, where fewer people
wait for the cars it is not practi-
cable to use the loading platform.
1t interferes with the fire depart
ment at times; it is too expensive
for the benefit it gives and it is not
really necessary.
'In the downtown section, how
ever, / believe in the loading plat
form. Here there are sufficient pas
SengerS waiting for the cars to
make the platforms economically
practicable. The platfn'->o provides
the maximum safety for passengers
and 1t also expedites the loading
and unloading of the cars"
The refusal of the street railway
companies to paint the zones in
compliance with the order of the
Public Utilities Commission will be
taken under consideration bv the
commission at its next meeting,
Thursday.

HER BRAIN NOT
CREMATED AS
BODY WAS
Mrs. n. n. Gardeners Wish.
That 1t Be Given Cornell
Observed, Moffett Says

Guy Moffett, of the Civil Service
Commission, close friend of the late
Mrs. Helen H. Gardener, Civil Serv-
ice Commissioners, today issued an
official statement denying inaccu-
rate press reports which stated
that Mrs. Gardeners brain was
cremated with her body, contrary
to the instructions left in her will
and that the brain was lost to
science.
Mr.. Moffett made it known today
that the brain was removed at Wal
ter Reed Hospital, where she died,
and that it will be dispatched 10
Cornell University as she desired
in order that scientists may COM
pare it with mems brains. The
statement follows:
1.-THE statements that the brain OF
Mrs. Helen H. Gardener was Gre
mated with her body and that her
wish concerning it's removal had
been disregarded are unturue.
I'm regard to the provision con-
tanned in her will that her brain
be removed and sent to Cornell for
scientific studies, the brain was re-
moved, and will be sent to Cornell
University.
I'm her will Mrs. Gardner speci-
fled Doctor Robert Y. Sullivan to
perform the operation. A later re-
quest of Mrs. Gardner asked that
the operation take place at the
Walter Reed Hospital, where she
was a patient several weeks before

D. C. SHIP LINE REDUCES
AUTO-CARRYING RATES

Announcement was made today
by the management of the Norfolk
and Washington Steamboat Com
pany of a reduction in rates for
carrying automobiles on it's paIa-
tial vessels. The reduction amounts
to approximately half the former
price.
This action was taken, according
to D. J. Callahan, president of the
company, with view to stimulat-
ing travel between Washington and
Norfolk and Old Point Comfort and
to enable the company's patrons to
use their automobiles on trips to
Ocean View and Virginia Beach at
nominal cost. Another motive was
to permit travellers from Tldewater,
Virginia to bring their automobiles
to Washington at low cost so as
to enjoy the scenic beauty OF
Washington in their own cars.

Judge Lenient With
Georgetown Auto
ViOlator

"Where are you FROM" Judge
Gus A. Schuldt in Traffic Court,
asked John E. Gator, of 1916
Prospect avenue northwest,
when he was hailed into court
today charged with making
left-hand turn at Seventh street
and Mt. Vernon place north
west.
Georgetown, your honor"
Gator answered.
WELL since you come from
way over there where they APP
parently don't know that we
have new traffic regulations,
and as the sign prohibiting the
turn wasn't very big, | sup
pose you are hardly responsible
for the error so I'll take your
personal bond. However, |
would suggest that you read the
newspapers once in a while,
since they occasionally mention
the fact of left-hand turns and
limited parking"
