DRIVES CAR INTO
A MOVING HOUSE
Mario Gastaldi is Arrested
on Charge of Drunken
Driving Afterward.
ALSO ON BOOZE CHARGE
Pleads Not Guilty Today in
Court to Both Charges;
Bail Is $3.50.

Here is vet another who has an OPP
portunity to join the drunken drivers
club, which is getting to have such a
large membership that the organiza-
tion is truly menace.
The latest applicant is Mario Gas
taldi, 800 Park street, who was ar
rested Tuesday evening by Police Of
ficers Beam and Pecan on the charge
of driving an automobile while in
toxicated. There was still another
charge placed against Gastaldi, that
of unlawful possession of intoxicat-
ing liquor.
Say Both Were Drunk.
Gastaldi was driving Ford coupe
on Middle street Tuesday about 7:4O
p. m. when he ran into a house which
was being moved in the street. With
Gastaldi was Fred Powers of 559 New
ell street. The top of the coupe was
completely torn off, and the t~o oc-
cupants of the car suffered bruises. 1t
was a wonder, according to witnesses,
that their heads were not bumped off
in colliding with the beams which
were just seven feet from the ground
Gastaldi came out of the car, and
battered and bruised though he was
asked nonchalantly, Give me cigar
ette," as if he did not appreciate the
seriousness of-what had happened.
Police Officers Pecan and Beam
placed both Gastaldi and Powers I'M
der arrest. The police said both were
intoxicated. A bottle of liquor was
found in the car.
This morning Gastaldi and Powers
were brought into the municipal court
before Judge Slater Gastaldi was
charged with driving an automobile
while intoxicated and with unlawful
possession Of liquor He pleaded not
guilty to both charges. Bonds were
fixed at $500 on the possession charge
and 1T $3.50 on the drunken driving
charge, making total Of $3.50 bonds
Powers also pleaded not guilty when
arraigned on the charge of intoxica-
tion. The cases were set for hearing
August 81 at a. m.

EXL'RA !.
WIFE SAYS SCOTT
HAD MADE THREATS
Mrs. Scott Says Congressman Threat
ened to Blacken Her Reputation
IL She Brought Suit.

Alpena, Mich Mrs. Edna J.
Scott, testifying at the divorce trial
brought by her husband, Congressman
Frank D. Scott, today declared that
on the eve of their separation in
1922, Scott had threatened to blacken
her reputation.
"I'll drag your skirts through the
mud so that no one will want to look
at you," she quoted him as saying.
Under cross examination, Mrs. Scott
denied ever having been unduly
friendly with Captain Wilbur Sumner
or with any one else.
Frederick B. Skies, formerly house
employee at the Lee House, Washing
ton, testified by deposition that Mrs.
Scott had entertained Gilbert Bens-
niger, fellow guest at the hotel, in
her room there. This was in 1923,
after the SCOTS had separated.
II saw them often In Scott's ROOM
Skies deposed. II peeked through
the key hole and saw them sitting
close together. She usually was sit
ting on his knee"
He added that Mrs. Scott and Bens-
niger "were half shot lots of times"
After She had been at the Lee House
some time, she got a room next to
the one occupied by Bensinger, the
Skies deposition said. Mrs. Scott
and Bensinger went out together
three, or four times week and
never were in before midnight, the
deposition@said.
Mrs. Edna Scott returned to the
witness stand today with chance to
make good her promise that she would
provide plenty of thrills" in her
fight on congressman Frank SCOTS
divorce bill.
Circuit Judge Frank D. limerick
yesterday adjourned court after Mrs.
Scott testified that her husband had
hurled profane epithets at her during
a recess Of the hearing Last January.
She also denied, tearfully the use
of unbecoming language toward her
husband the night of their separation
in Washington. Offers of reconcilia-
ton which crept into the record dur
ing the reading OF dispositions yester-
day were received with tilted chin
by Mrs. Scott and with blank stare
by the congressman. ~
The couple sat through yesterdays
session with only the width Of the
counsel table between them. ~
What Congressman Scott had pre-
viously described as NOISY party" at
his apartment the night Of October
20, 1922 with Mrs. Scott playing hos
tess to two army officers, was pictured
as casual and perfectly proper call
by Mrs. Clifford Ireland, wife Of the
former Illinois congressman, who
said in her deposition that both men
conducted themselves as gentlemen
should.
A party at the quarters Of Captain
Wilbur "Jazzbo" Sumner at Fort
Meyers, Va, October 1922, which had
been painted as tete tete between
Mrs. Scott and Captain Sumner, was
in reality a dinner in honor of a
sister of Colonel William Mitchell,
former brigadier general, one deposit
ton said.
Other. testimony yesterday was that
drinking was the regular thing in
official circles Of Washington in
1928.

JAIL PRISONERS
ARE PUNISHED
Those Now in County Jail
Not Allowed to Get

BARS ARE WELDED
Circus Swindler, However, Is
Still On the Outside; His
Whereabouts Unknown.

Because they allowed Frank Mick
ey' Davis to work at his task of saw
ing through the bars of window. in
the county Jail for some weeks with
out notifying the sheriff or any of his
men, the prisoners in the county Jail
are being deprived of even the small
liberties which they had prior to the
escape of the circus swindler.
eve know that Davis could not have
sawed on the bars without some of
the prisoners seeing him, and it seems
certain than not only few but all of
them knew what he was up to-" said
Turnkey Ray Willems this morning.
"There are not many weeks left be-
fore we will move into the new Jail,
but in the meantime, we are not TAX
ing any chances with the men that are
left in jail"
Old Bars Made Tight.
Meanwhile on Tuesday afternoon a
workman was engaged in welding the
two bars which were sawed through
by Davis. A thorough job was done
of it in order that no one else would
be able to escape, at least not through
this window. The window opens on
the north side of the building and
from the promenade, around which the
inmates of the Jail made their rounds
during the day when they were not
playing cards at their table in the
corner or chatting together,
Turnkey Willems siad that he had
learned through one of the prisoners,
but not until after the escape, that
Davis had been engaged for two weeks
in saving through the Jail bars. He
made the bars tight with putty after
loosening them and then waited for a
good time to break through them. He
chose night when there was a heavy
downpour Of rain when there was lit
tie chance of his being seen as he
crawled over the Jail wall outside.
Meanwhile the circus swindler who
was held in Jail in lieu of bonds to
await trial on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretenses, and who
had other charges piled against him
in other states, is still on the outside
of the jail.
He escaped Friday night, but was
seen on the North Side Saturday
night, Since then the sheriff has not
had any clear accounts of Davis
movements. It is believed that he will
be caught sometime though, because
there were many things about his ap-
pearance and characteristics which
will make it not impossible to trace
him from city to city.

GOOD GROUNDS
ADD VOLUME.
Cold Water Pipe Makes Best
Connection.

A good ground connection is vital
to the best operation of the radio re-
ceiver. On crystal sets. where the
amount OF energy employed Is small,
the additional volume resulting from
the use OF good ground or several
good grounds is readily Noticeable
The increase in volume with tube
sets is not so pronounced. but the
range OF the receiver improves as
the efficiency of the ground connec-
ton is increased.
The best ground connection is
made by connecting to the cold-water
pipes or to pipe or iron rod driven
into the ground until 1t reaches
moist soil. In either case the con-
nection between the ground wire
from the set and the metal of the
pipe is of utmost Importance. Sim
ply wrapping the wire around the
pipe is a makeshift.
1t is difficult to solder wire to a
pipe. especially If the pipe contains
water. Scrape or file the surface Of
the pipe until all paint and rust has
been removed. Place a ground clamp
around the prepared spot. tighten
the clamp and then solder the
ground wire to the clamp In this
way a good connection is assured
