GARRETT TO RESUME
ANNEXATION TESTIMONY
Cross-Questioning of Potomac Civil
Engineer Opening Feature of
Arlington Court Tomorrow.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
ARLINGTON, Va, November o.
CroSS-examination of George e. Garrett
Of Potomac, a civil engineer, who was
called to the stand yesterday as a wit
ness for Alexandria In the annexation
suit Of Alexandria against Arlington
County, will be resumed tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock, when the court
reconvenes, after adjourning yesterday
at o'clock for the Thanksgiving holi-
day.
The crosS-examination Is being con-
Quoted by Col. Charles T. Jesse Of the
counsel for Arlington County, marking
Col. Jesse's first active part IN the pres
ent hearings.
One of the many maps introduced by
Mr.. Garrett yesterday brought strong
objections from the counsel for the
county. The map, showing lighting sys-
TENS in Arlington, does not show all the
lights in the county, according TO coun-
sci for the defense, and MI. Garrett
admitted this In the croSS-examination
Mr.. CARROTS map of schools in the
county shows only 10, and it was
brought out in the examination by Col.
Jesse that there are %. In the terri
tory proposed to be annexed, however,
there are only two schools, one for high
school pupils and the other for elemen-
tary students.
Mr.. Garrett could not supply the area
of the subdivisions shown on one of his
maps when asked by Col. Jesse. At one
point in the cross-examination Mr.. Gar
rett arose and addressed the court, stat
ing that 1t was annoying to be asked the
same question over and over after he
had answered 1t to the best Of his abu-
jty.

WOUNDS HERSELF
Woman, Despondent Because
of Financial Troubles, Says
Shot Was Accidental.

Despondent because Of financial
troubles, Mrs. Adelaide G. Frey, 30-year-
old mother of three small children, shot
herself through the thigh with a re-
volver while sitting on her bed last
evening at her home, 6218 Fifth street.
At Emergency Hospital she told her
husband, Harlan Frey, insurance agent
and captain during the World War, that
she was considering shooting herself,
but did not intend to pull the trigger
when she did.
Frey said today his earning powers
were greatly decreased a month ago be-
cause of sickness, and his wife's actions
were due to worry on this score and per-
haps by the thought Of a cherries
Thanksgiving.
Mr.. Frey was in the house when the
shooting occurred. He said he heard
the report and then his wife cry, II
did 1t, did 1t, did It," He ran up
stairs and found her sitting on the side
of the bed with the gun in her hands.
A neighbor summoned the Emergency
Hospital ambulance, but police from
the thirteenth precinct arrived first and
took the injured woman to Walter Reed
Hospital, where DR.. Frank Moose rem
dered first aid. She was later removed
to Emergency.
Mrs. Frey, who said she had no sleep
Tuesday night, as she had to tend
to one Of the children who was i'll,
found the gun in closet.

ON DAY OF THANKS
Twenty-Three, Unable to Pay Small
Bonds, Forced to Spend
Holiday in Jail.

Twenty-three persons, convicted of
aggravated forms of disorderly con-
duct, repeated intoxication and serious
traffic violations in Police Court this
morning, were forced to eat their
Thanksgiving dinner in Jail.
Because of the holiday, Judge Isaac
r. Hit, who presided in the District
of Columbia branch, and Judge Gus A.
Schuldt, who sat in Traffic Court,
showed spirit of forgiveness as well
as one of thanks by being lenient with
the defendants, accepting the personal
bonds of many. Those committed
were unable to pay small bonds or per-
sons whose offenses were of such a ma
ture as to merit straight Jail terms.
Included in the group sent to Jail
were three women, two Of them colored.
Miss Ethel Hunter, alias Beckett, IS
years old, Of the TOO block of Park
road, was unable to pay a SIS fine on a
charge of intoxication.
Policeman S. F. Groggins, who ar
rested her, said the woman kicked the

dance on the street, which attracted
about $50 spectators.

NAVY COMPETITION
DENIED BY WILBUR
Criticism of U. S. Program
Based on Misunderstood
ing, Secretary Says.

By the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November 29.-Sec-
rotary Wilbur said yesterday that Amer
ica's naval program was not intended to
be competitive, and that criticism of 1t
was largely because of misunderstanding
and Misrepresentation.
The Secretary of the Navy, who came
here to spend the Thanksgiving holiday
with relatives, spoke informally to q
group of naval officers, headed by Rear
Admiral Latimer, commandant of the
Philadelphia Navy Yard and the fourth
naval district. He also visited the
American Brown-Boveri shipbuilding
plant at Camden, N. j., where two cruis-
ers are under construction for the Gov
eminent. "At present the naval pro-
gram covers Six-year period, in which
IS cruisers of 10000 tons displacement
each and carrying 8-inch guns are to
be constructed" Secretary Wilbur said
In addition to this there is planned
new aircraft carrier of improved design.
But there is no cause for alarm for
other nations in this program. Even
when 1t has been completed the United
States will be under the ratio of Great
Britain and Japan. We are now far
behind Great Britain in naval arma-
ment. These various vessels are not
battleshipS. Rather they are for the
protection of commerce"

FEDERAL WORKERS
PROGRAM ENDORSED
A. F. of L. Goes on Record in
Favor of Government
Service Changes.

A comprehensive program to improve
working conditions in the Government
service, presented by delegates from the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployeS, has received the support of the
American Federation of Labor, now in
convention at New Orleans, according
to word received here.
Several measures intended to benefit
Federal employees, of whom about 60 900
work in Washington, have been Endorsed
by the convention. Chief among them
are the following recommendations:
Extension Of the Saturday half-holiday
throughout the year for all Govern
ment employees; further liberalization of
retirement annuitieS; establishment of
civil service court of appeals and
Standardization of annual and sick
leave for Federal workers.
Efficiency Systems Hit.
At the request of the federation dele
gates the convention took a decided
stand against the practice of speeding
up work in Government establishments
under the guise of efficiency systems"
denouncing them as harmful to the
workers physically and destructive of
service morale and therefore adding
materially to labor costs in Government
employment"
The Federation of Federal Employees
Is represented at the convention by
Luther G. Steward, president; John
Fitzgerald, first vice president; L. E.
Bentley, second vice president, and
Gertrude M. McNally, secretary
treasurer.
The convention took a stand for
further salary increases in the Govern
ment employ and pledged the co-opera-
ton of labor in behalf of legislation
for this purpose. On the Saturday half
holiday issue the convention declared
that there is a need for having the
United States Government establish and
maintain advanced employment stand
ards
Urge Annuities Measure.
Speedy passage of the Dale-Lehlbach
bill by the House was urged so that in
creased annuities and other improve
ments Of the retirement plan may be
effected. The bill has already been
passed by the Senate.
A civil service court Of appeals inde-
pendent of any existing governmental
agency was urged as a body Ito which
employees may appeal in demotion and
dismissal cases and which would have
authority to review all evidence in such
cases and determine appropriate &C
tion."

BR|TTEN PROPOSAL
DRAWS CRITICISM
Swanson Hits AngIo-U. S.
Naval Project-State and
Navy Officials Silent.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Silence from the State and Navy De-
partments and criticism from Senator
Swanson, Virginia, has been the reac-
ton thus far to Representative Brit
tens proposal for q naval conference.
Britten, who is chairman of the
House naval affairs committee, in a
cablegram to Stanley Baldwin. British
prime minister, suggested that members
of the naval affairs committee and COM
mittee from Parliament meet to talk
over the question of sea equality. and
other naval problems, between the two
nations.
Senator Swanson in a statement yes
terday characterized Britten'S proposal
as Revolutionary" and said he was at
a loss to understand what prompted it.
IF treaty of disarmament occurs,
under the Constitution" he said, ut
must be made by the President and
ratified by the Senate"
Questions Authority.
The Virginia Senator, who is the
ranking Democrat on the Senate for
eign relations and naval committees,
declared that he also did not UNDER
stand the authority of any committee
of the House to either initiate or con-
duct any negotiations with foreign gov
ernmentS
1.-THE purpose of Mr.. Britten, though
unconstitutional" he continued, seems
to be to come to the rescue of help
less executive. cannot understand
his action from any other standpoint.
He must have some knowledge in re-
gard to the failure of these negotia-
lions for disarmament, not possessed
by others, to justify him in taking this
extraordinary course to end the exist
ing deadlock"
State Department Stand.
At the State Department is was said
that Secretary Kellogg had no knowl-
edge of the plan and the proposal, but
it was indicated that Britten'S SUCCESS
ton was not in accord with the govern
mental policy of leaving the direction
of foreign affairs In the hands of the
President.
Premier Baldwin has made, no reply
to the Illinois Representative, but in
British official circles it was said that
the communication would be given care
full consideration.
The chairman of the House naval af-
fairs committee in a statement yester-
day said that his suggestion for a con-
ference should in no way interfere with
the passage by the Senate of the pend
ing naval bill, which calls for the con-
struction of Is cruisers. He declared
that Congress would have to authorize
additional cruisers before the United
States would be equal to England and
Japan In that type OF fighting craft.
