his time reading and has been in a
generally better humor.
About 10 days ago Panzram called for
Warden Peake and told him he had
some statements to make. With War;
den Peake in attendance Panzram told
of killing two boys, the first between
Boston and Charlestown, Mass, near
a big bridge and slough in the woods,
about two miles from the boys home.
He said this occurred in the Summer
of 1920. He said that after strangling
the boy he beat him on the head with
a rock.
so anxious was he to clear up these
murders, Warden Peake said, that he
wrote letters to officials of New Eng
land towns to refresh their memories
after his confession had received scant
attention.
The other Staying he described in de-
tail was that of an 1l-year-old boy near
pier 90 at dump grounds in Phila-
delphia on August or A. He said he
strangled this boy too, and covered the
body with white blanket. He said he

DELIVERY STOPPED
ON SALT CREEK OIL
Halted Today by United States
Order After Royalty Contract
Is Held Invalid.
Rr the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CASPER, Wyo., october 22.-Delivery
of oil from the Salt Creek field stopped
at 7 am. today in compliance with an
order issued by Secretary of Interior
Roy o. West after the oil royalty
contract between the Sinclair Co. and
the Government had been held invalid
by United States Attorney General
Sargent.
zThe Federal Geological Survey in a
formal announcement stated the Gov
ernment had elected to take its royal
ties from the posted Mid-Continent
crude, with per cent deduction from
the standard barrel, in accordance with
the present field practice in Salt creek.
This means the operations will pay
cash for oil from the wells.
The arrangement, Geological Survey
officers said, would continue In effect
80 days after new contracts are signed.
Bids for royalty oil from the Salt Greek
field probably will not be called for un-
til after the first of the year, the time
set by the Interior Secretary In a tele-
gram to the survey here as the most

SCHOOL PROGRAMS
Legislative Committee Gath

Tomorrow.

Plans for a second five-year building
program by which the District public
school system hopes to receive adequate
Accommodations for its pupils, and the
proposal of new school legislation, will
be discussed at the Franklin Admins
tration Building tomorrow afternoon by
the Board of Educations legislative
committee in executive session with
the other members of the board and
school officers who have been invited
to attend the meeting.
In outlining the plans for the new
building program, the officials will con-
slider the technical wisdom of aband-
oning the items authorized by the first
five-year program, but lost in the de-
lay, which rendered inefficient about
AZ per cent of the proposals covered by
it, and the inclusion of these in the new
program as against planning the
new schedule to embrace entirely new
items of school needs. If the latter
plan is decided upon, the unprovided
for items will be allowed to remain in
their present status in the hopes that
they will be reached in the delayed
completion of the program.
Among the possible legislation pro-
posals which the board viii seek to plan
at its meeting tomorrow will be bills
which will provide authority for the
Board of Education to submit its esti-
mates directly to the Bureau of the
Budget, as we'll as for authority to sub
NIT proposed legislation direct to both
houses of Congress.
Tomorrow's executive meeting is
counted upon by school officials to be
the first step Of their proposed cam
paign for improved relations between
the Board of Education and the Dis
trict commissioners.

OFFICER DECLARES .
HE IS NHOUNDED'
Policeman Allen Makes Com
plant After Charge of
Neglect of Duty.

Policeman Robert j. Allen, third
precinct, who has often been in the
limelight of late, following a speech
before the Policemen's Association, by
accusing brother officers of brutality
to prisoners, was charged with neglect
of duty by Lieut.. w. E. Holmes in a
report to Maj Edwin B. HeSSe, super
intendent of police. today.
The alleged neglect consists, accord
ing to the report, of going into the
Mayf1ower Hotel at pm. while he was
on duty at the Mayf1ower entrance.
The incident was reported to Lieut..
Holmes by Sergt. Emil Desch Of the
third precinct.
Says He Spoke to Wife.
According to Allen, he went into the
Mayflower for a minute and half to
speak to his wife. He said that when
Desch walked in he took his wife over
to the sergeant and introduced him to
her.
Allen had a long conference with
Hesse today, during which he COM
planned that he was being "hounded"
on account of his speech. After the
conference Maj Hesse stated that he
will investigate it thoroughly from all
angles and base his future actions on
the investigation.
Former Charges Dropped.
Allen complained that every action
of his was being watched by persons
who report to the precinct, and that
he is compelled to account for trivial
incidents which would be overlooked
in another officer Recently three
charges against Allen were preferred
by Capt. William G.. Scott, in which
Allen was accused of lettering at
Police Court. being absent from his post
of duty, and speaking to the superin-
tendent of police while on duty without
first obtaining the permission of his
officer. After an investi-

POLICE REVIEW
SALEM Staying
Await More Information From
Washington Regarding Con-
fession of Panzram.

BY the Associated Press.
SALEM, Mass, october 22.-With the
possibility that Carl Panzram, held in
washington, might be the slayer of
Henry Mcmahon, II, police today were
reviewing details of the boys death and
were awaiting more information from
Washington concerning the man under
arrest.
Panzram, arrested for housebreaking,
is said to have confessed that he killed
a boy near Salem. His confession fitted
details of the death of the Mcmahon
boy. who was found strangled near his
home here in 1922.
Belief that PanZram might be the
man sought for the boys death was
strengthened when Mrs. Bertha Leyton
of Marblehead identified a picture of
Panzram as the man she saw with the
boy the night he was killed.
Police indicated they would send
man to Washington to bring Panzram
to Salem although they had reached no
definite decision on that point.

Twenty Years Behind Bars.

A photograph OF Carl Panzfam, 80,
doing a stretch" at the District JAN
for housebreaking. says he has. spent
time in IL penitentiaries, three reforma-
tories and 200 jails, for total OF nearly
90 years since he started LIE OF CRIME
at II.
His crime record at the District Jail
shows that Panzram was at liberty at
the time that the Mcmahon boy was
slain.
He had broken out of the oregon
State Penitentiary, where he had been
serving term from one to seven years
for burglary He slugged the sheriff,
according to the records, and made his
escape. The record does not show him
back in Jail until 1923. when he was
committed to Sing Sing for burglary.
In his previous incarcerations, Panzram
went by the name of John OLeary.
District police are waiting word from
Salem. Mass. authorities before it Is
decided what action will be taken with
regard to Panzram'S case. If the evil
dpnce in the Staying at Salem can be
closely enough linked to the confess
sion made by Panzram to Warden
Peake. it is likely he will not be held
for the completion of his sentence here,
