U. s. PAYS FOR AIRPLANES
SCORNED BY MITCHELL

The War Department has today
awarded $4,000 to the Curtiss
Company and 100000 to the Doug
las Company for the experimental
observation airplanes manufactured
by each company, and the develop
ment work involved in the pro
duction of these planes, which are
considered safer and more maneu-
verable types for general observa-
ton use than the war built DIS,
now in use.
The DIS were bitterly con-
demmed by Brigadier General Will
liam Mitchell, assistant chief of
air service, in his testimony before
the Congressional air craft investi-
eating committee.
The awards were made as a
result of tests conducted at Nc
Cook Field, Dayton, Ohio. by a
board of officers all of whom were
expert aviators or observers and
made actual tests of the new de-
signs submitted by Three airplane
companies. The new type observa-
ton planes have a speed of over
1870 miles per hour ana climb to an
altitude of 10000 feet.

Driver Banged Up; Shrubbery
Broken; Benches Smashed;
Car Demolished

Losing control of his automobile
while driving south on North Cap
ital street early today, William
Leroy Jackson, colored, of 1928
Corcoran street northwest, cata-
pulled across Truxton circle at
Florida avenue, and after demol-
ishing park bench and several
small trees, finally landed in the
middle of the circle.
On the south side of Florida
avenue, over so feet from where
the accident happened, a number
of tools were found amid guam
t;ty of broken glass, where they
had been thrown from the car by
the crash.
Await Word From Owner.
jackson was driving the auto.
mobile belonging to Rose Millard,
of 1920 r street northwest. and it
is thought that he took it from
the garage where he was employed
as a washer. Police are waiting to
hear from the owner before plac-
ing any charge against jackson.
Policeman Sam Johnson, OF the
second precinct, said that he saw
the car tearing down North Capital
street from where he was standing
near the circle. Immediately after
the crash Johnson ran over, and
Jackson, emerging from the heap
OF wreckage, told the officer there
was another man and q woman
in the car. He later denied this.
Jackson suffered a fractured arm,
decorations on the legs, arms and
face, and his clothes were nearly
torn from his body. He was taken
to Freedman's Hospital in the
second precinct patrol wagon and
later TO Gallinger Hospital, where
his condition is said to be not
serious.

With Senate Confirmation
Certain, interest centers on
Turnage Successor

Nomination of George H. Mac
donald and Isaac R. Hit as the
two new judges for the District
Police Court were approved today
by the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee and probably will be confirmed
by the Senate late this afternoon.
The committee approved the
nominations without a record vote.
1t is stated that there was no OPP
position to either nominee.
Should Have Equipment.
Confirmation of the two new
judges. members of the Senate COM
n1ittee state, should be followed i'm.
mediately by installation Of the
necessary court equipment to per.
init them to begin work.
The District appropriation bill
provides funds for the payment of
two new judges and necessary
court employees and for necessary
enlargement of the court facilities.
The appropriation for police court
for the coming fiscal year provides
$3.50 for immediate expenditure.
Was Active Commissioner.
Until a successor to United States
Commissioners Macdonald is nomi-
mated and confirmed, the bulk Of
the work will be borne by Commits
sicner Needham C.. Turnag e, 1t was
learned today.
Judge Macdonald heretofore has
devoted all of his time to the COM
missionership, at the expense of
his private practice. On the other
han Commissioner Turnage mas
heen only fairly active as a commits
sioner. He has Masonic and other
affiliations which have made heavy
demands upon his time and at .cn.
ton. Commissioner Harper, the
other official in this category. has
very few cases.
Inasmuch as Judge Hits term as
United States Commissioner expired
two years ago. it is very unli!S-Iy
that President Coolidge will send
more than one nomination to the
Senate.
Commissioner Turnage will thus
become the most active of the com
11issioners, and the new .appointee
probably will be second in line.
Considerable speculation is going
on today in the ranks of Wash
ington legal talent as to the sue
cessor of Judge Macdonald.
In the early gossip, however, there
were no outstanding candidates men
toned.

POST
p. II. Skinner donald Nc
DougaI) Submits Application
to Commissioners

p. Fl. Skinner, who under the
name of Donald McDougal' con-
ducts the "AIibi Artists" column
for The Washington Times. today
applied to the District Commission
ers for the post Of Director of
Traffic.
His application is accompanied
by a plan for renewing automobile
operators permits.
1T seems likely that the renewal
of so many permits must either
cause great inconvenience to thou
sands of law abiding drivers, or
else have the effect of validating
the legal licenses now in USE" he
writes.
Mail Plan Suggested
Several months ago / became
so impressed with the harmful re-
suits Of these invalid permits that
/ worked out plan for their elimi-
nation. This plan enabled the
motorist to renew his permit by
mail, and will detect as large a
proportion Of bogus permits as per.
sonal appearance at the District
Building will accomplish"
Mr.. Skinner says he has lived in
Washington for twenty-five years
fourteen years of which he was
employed in the District surveyor
office. He resigned to do statistical
work for the Federal Government.
He had been a keen student of
traffic conditions for a number of
years past and has come in direct
contact with the police department
the Police Court and the public in
traffic problems.
Studied 1000 Cases.
Skinner says that several days
ago Judge Gus Schuldt, of Police
Court, suggested that he be consid-
cred for the post of director of
traffic. He says he believes Judges
Robert Mattingly and John j. Nc.
Mahon will endorse him.
Skinner says a study of 1000
cases in Traffic Court during the
past two years convince him that
a large part of Washington's traffic
difficulty is caused by unauthorized
drivers.

THE SPANiARD" BRIMFUL OF
 SURE-FIRE PUNCH SCENE

"The Spaniard. Paramount pic ture featuring Ricardo Cortez. JettA Goudal and Noah Beery. which will be shown next Wednesday and Thurs day at the Bradley Theatre. is an ap- peahHg and actiouful adventure TO- nance woven around Spain's national sport the bull fight.
 Some of the high spots in the pro duction which is based on the novel by JuanIta Savage. include the first meet ing of The Spaniard (Cortezl and Jetta Goudal. playing an English so- cicty beauty at ball in London. The spaniard. the mere mention of whose name sets feminine hearts aiutter, meets his match in the beautiful Do- lufes She has d long string Of con- quests Co her credit and looks upon Don Pedro as but another victim. He. however. has other ideas on the mat Ter. which are brought out as the pie ture progresses.
 Another high spot in the production is the scene ln The Spaniard's noun tain castle. where hf carries Dolores and holds her captive until she finally confesses her love for him. The girl is furious at first, but long black whip iu the hands of the fiery Don Pedro quickly makes her change her attitude -eward the Spaniard. who. she learns Co her sorrow. is q man of great de- gets what he goes after and he has his heart and soul set on winning Dolores.
 Still another big punch scene Is the sequence in which Miss Goudal. after escaping from the Spaniard. is held captive by bandits, headed by Noah Beery in the role of 6omex. once a servant of Don Pedro.
