nations under the personal direction
Of Health Officer William c..
Fowler.
The victim is James Croley,
colored, 20. He has been brought
to the Smallpox Hospital here and
quarantined.
The workhouse will not be quar-
antined, however, unless more cases
are discovered. Health authorities
believe they can prevent a general
outbreak without such a drastic
step. The institution is closed to
visitors, though, until all fear of
spread has passed.
This is the second outbreak of
smallpox in the Districts penal in
situations this year. One case was
discovered in the District Jail a
couple of months ago and the Jail
was quarantined for 16 days.
Health authorities are puzzled
over the source of Croley's disease.
He has been prisoner at the in
stitution since February and there
have been no smallpox cases re-
ported there since that time.
1t is possible, they say, that
there was minor case there that
was never reported.

MISUSE Of GUN
CHARGED

Following the completion of the
Investigation by inspectors Charles
A. Evans and Louis j. StolI, of the
shooting of Larry Hall, 20, ISL
Morton st. n. W., Major Edwin B.
Hesse, superintendent of police, an.
nounced today that three charges
are being prepared against Police
man Benjamin r. Campbell, of the
Tenth precinct.
He viii be charged with violation
of section %, chapter 2, of the
Police Manual which says mem.
bers of the force shall not use their
revolvers except in the most urgent
cases, and then only in such a
manner as will not jeopardize the
lives of innocent persons" The
Manual also forbids use of baton
or revolver, except in the most
urgent cases of self-defense, and
when the circumstances justify
such action.
In addition, a third charge Of
riding In the side-car of q police
motorcycle while on duty, contrary
to regulations. will also be pressed.
Policeman William S. Buchanan,
who was operating the motorcycle
in which Campbell rode. viii face a
charge of permitting the latter to
ride in the side-car.
The circumstances were such,
Major Hesse said, that he started
his investigation before o'clock
Sunday morning and entirely disre-
garded the verdict of the coroner's
jury, which INDICATED Campbell for
the death OF Hall.
Major Hesse stated that the
charges being prepared against the
two policemen and for which they
will be compelled to appear before
the police trial board, are the only
steps that can be taken against
either by his office.
However" he said, 'if the
District Attorneys office wishes to
disregard the finding of the
coroner's jury and bring criminal
proceedings against Campbell this
office viii be entirely willing to
fuEnish them with all the informa-
ton available"

Mother SEEKS
BOY BARBER

A barber of five years experience,
though only 16 years old, Anthony
Petrella, 925 Potomac Ave. s. E.,
tired of going to school and longed
to have a shop of his own in New
York, where he had heard tonsorial
artists make much money.
He was a student at the Hine Jun
Tor High School until last October,
working at his trade after class
hours. Often he earned as much as
$40 a week. Five feet seven inches
tall and looking much older than his
years, he would have no difficulty
passing anywhere for an experienced
barber.
To Tony's mother, Mrs. Stella Pc
trealla, these golden prospects, how.
ever, make small appeal. She wants
her son to study and be somebody"
Furthermore, she is worried and i'll,
not having heard from the boy for
nine months. II he will only return,
Mrs. Petrella assured The Washing
ton Times he will be welcomed by
his family.

up the office of the French Line
Steamship Company. 1406 New York

then. a few minutes later, held up
the Atlantic and Pacific grocery
store at 2O1 G st. N. W., obtaining

Mrs. Sanford turned to get the
desired information the bandit pro-
duced a pistol.

Calmly saying, don't get fright

Then. despite the menacing pistol.
Mrs. Sanford rushed to the safe,
closed the door. turned on the com.
bination. and ran to the corridor of
an adjoining building. shouting for
help.
Seeing that further effort would
be futile. the bandit fled to the
street and was quickly lost in the
crowd of Government workers. The
hasty closing Of the safe saved the
company more than 500 that was
in it.
The second hold-up was reported
by George Taylor, FL, the manager
of the store. He said that the ban.

was in the cash register, the other
having been hidden in another part
