Members of the commission also will
exchange views at this meeting on
several bills relating to park develop
ment and city planning that failed to
become law in the closing days of the
Sixty-ninth Congress, but which will
be reintroduced in December.
They include: The Shipstead bill to
give the Fine Arts Commission au-
thority to regulate the height and ex-
terror design of private buildings to
be erected in the vicinity of Federal
buildings or parks, which passed the
Senate, but was not acted on in the
House; the bill giving the park COM
mission authority to control the use
of proposed park sites pending con-
demnation proceedings, to prevent
building operations or trees being re-
moved; the bill to empower the Com
mlssloners to close streets that have
been on the highway plan that may
become unnecessary as new streets
are laid out in conformity with mod
ern city planning. The last mentioned
bill provided that such streets could
be closed only with the consent of the
abutting owners and any land which
had already been dedicated would
revert 10 the owner.
Favorable Action Seen.
Officials Of the Park Commission
are not disheartened because these
measures were not acted on by both
branches Of Congress at the first ses-

and they believe favorable action will
be possible at the long session begin

S|MMS|S RELEASED;
CASE IS CONTINUED
Accused Is Charged With AS
sauIt With Deadly Weapon.
Girl Improves.

A formal charge Of assault with a
| deadly weapon has been preferred
against Joseph B. Simms, jr., in con.
nection with the investigation of the
shooting of Miss Nancy Randolph,
Central High School student, in the
apartment Of Simms' parents, 2715
Fourteenth street, week ago. Miss
Randolph's name appears on the rec
ord as complainant. In Police Court
today the case was continued for two
weeks and he was released under $500
bond.
Detective Dennis ]. Cullinane, who
participated in the investigation of the
shooting, said today that Miss Ran.
dolph's first version of the shooting
was that the weapon was accidentally
discharged while she and Simms were
playfully handling it. On the &C.
casion of another visit, however, he
said she stated that Simms shot her
following a quarrel.
Simms this morning declared there
had been no misunderstanding be-
tween Miss Randolph and himself and
repeated that the shooting was pure
ly an accident. Told of the statement
the patient was reported to have made
to Detective Culinane, Sims said he did
not understand how she could have
made such statement in view of
what he said actually happened.
1t was reported at the hospital to-
day that Miss Randolph's condition
was favorable to recovery and that
she probably win be able to leave
the hospital soon.

REED COMMITTEE
MEETS SATURDAY
Will Devise Plan of Action in
View of Financial
Situation.

Determined to push the investiga-
ton into campaign expenditures in
the last senatorial election. despite
efforts to render it impotent during
the closing days of the Senate, Sem
ator James A. Reed, Democratic
chairman of the campaign funds
committee has issued a call for a
meeting of the committee here Satur-'
day TO devise a plan of action.
Senator Reed is supported, II is
said, by opinions both from Senator
Con- OF West Virginia. a Republican
member of the committee. and Sena-
tor Norris, Republican chairman of
the Senate judiciary committee that
his committee is cloaked with ample
authority to continue it's investiga-
ton and expense money with which
to conduct that work.
May Advance $1,000.
In an effort to render the commit
tee impotent, Senator David Reed,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, led a
winning filibuSter against a resolu-
ton 10 authorize the committee to
continue its probe and provide funds
for the purpose. which was brought
on the floor the last few days of
Congress. In the heat of the filibuster
many important bills failed of pas
sage.
Senator Reed, who is now in De-
troit, is understood to be prepared
upon his return to Washington to
advance $1,000 to the Sem
ate sergeant-at-arm and order him
to go to Pennsylvania and impound
additional ballots in connection with
the election contest brought against
Senator Ware, Republican, by his
Democratic opponent, William B.
Wilson.
Sergeant-at-Arms' Stand.
Even this might not start the SER
geant-at-arms, David S. Barry, for

leaders that he will not attempt to
lmpound the ballots unless his ex-
Denses are paid out of regular Sem
ate funds.
