POLICE INFORMER
HELD FOR GRAND JURY
Marion F. Lee to Face Perjury
Action After Prelim-
mary Hearing.

Marion F. Lee. It's Mount Vernon
place, former police informer charged
with perjury, was held for the action
OF the grand jury following pre-
liminary hearing before Judge Gus A.
Schuldt in Police Court today. Bond
was fixed at $500.
The charge against Lee was placed
after he had sworn to making a buy"
from Mrs. Lovena Odell, 1416 Sixteenth
street, on August IS. Mrs. Odell was
subsequently acquitted following hear
ing before United States Commissioner
Needham G. Turnage, when she proved
to the latter's satisfaction that she was
In Piney Point on the day specified.
Six witnesses testified today that they
saw Mrs. Odell at Piney Point on
August Is and two that she apparently
was not home on the same day. De-
tense Attorney Abner Siegal succeeded
upon crosS-examination in bringing out
some apparent discrepancies in the
witnesses testimony, but the court ruled
them irrelevant. He also attempted to
learn from the witnesses what was Mrs.
OdelPs occupation, but all such efforts
were overruled. Mrs. Odell herself,
however, said she was a housekeeper.
Among the witnesses called by AS
sistant United States Attorney Neil
Burkinshaw. who is prosecuting the
case, were Guy Mason, prominent local
attorney; Joseph S. Macias. local or
chestra leader, and Morris W., Odell,
husband of Mrs. Odell
Lee had worked as a police informer
only few weeks He was SO employed
by Detectives S. F. Gravelly of the third
precinct after being released on $500
bond on charge of grand larceny.

Secretary Whiting
Named i'm Suit i'm
Fight Over Tree
Court Action Sought to
Prevent Him From Inter-
fering With Choppers.

The new Secretary of Commerce,
William F. Whiting, was brought into
the controversy which has been prevail
ing over the efforts to remove a black
walnut tree standing at Sedgewick and
Tilden streets, near the Bureau of
Standards, today, when there was filed
in Equity Court a complaint seeking
an injunction against the Commerce
Secretary to restrain him and his agents
from interfering with the removal of
the tree. The suit was filed by Frank
r. Porter, 1920 Vermont avenue, who
was arrested on August 20, here, on
complaint of j. w. Shea of Baltimore,
on a charge of taking money under
false pretenses. Porter was released on
August 80 on writ of habeas corpus.
According to the bill filed in the case
today, Porter says he purchased the
tree for $40, after submitting pub
lie bid to the general supply committee,
which awarded it to him. Subsequent
ly, he says, he sold the tree, less the
limbs and laps, for $3.50 to a dealer in
walnut lumber, but, he alleges, when
Shea went to take the tree he was
prevented from doing so by the en-
ployes and agents of the Department
of Commerce, who said. that the tree
did not belong to the Bureau of STAN
dards. 1t was following this refusal to
permit Shea to take the tree, Porter
alleges, that the former had him ar
rested.
Porter further tells the court that
the land on which the tree is located
was transferred by the Department of
Commerce to the District of Columbia
on June "a, 1925, for use as street,
and that, therefore, the Department of
Commerce had nothing to do with it.
The case Is to be argued before the
court on September 20.

DROP PLAN TO GIVE
OUT TEXT OF PACT
French Delegates to Geneva
May Await U. S. Reply on
Naval Agreement.

GENEVA, September 18-It is I'M
derstood that the French delegation
at Geneva has abandoned its plan of
making public the text of the Franco
British naval compromise" during the
coming deliberations of the disarma-
ment committee of the League of Ma
lions Assembly.
The impression prevails in political
circles that the Washington Govern
ment itself would prefer that no pub
LEGATION of the terms be made until
it has had an opportunity to reply.
In Franco-British quarters the be-
lief is expressed that the explanatory
statements made by Foreign Minister
BRAND and Lord Cushendun at Geneva
have done much to remove any idea
that the accord contains something sim
lister or secret. There is some eX-
pectation that compromise basis of
agreement on the methods of limiting
navies may be found which would
Justify the convocation of the prepara-
tory disarmament commission.
Ambassador Claudel, French envoy
to the United States, who is now here,
today conferred with Foreign Minister
BRAND OH matters of interest to France
and the United States.

URGES SYMPATHY
FOR TRIAL BOARD
Police Official Asks Public to
Maintain Open Mind on
Police Situation.

The Police Trial Board, under the
new plan of organization and procedure
recently adopted by the District Com
missioners, should be given sympathetic
consideration by the public, so that it
may have fair trial, Lieut.. F. S. w.
Burke, head of the police training
school, declared last night at the first
Fall meeting of the public order COM
mittee of the Board of Trade at the
Raleigh Hotel.
Lieut.. Burke, while declaring that the
vast majority of members of the metro
politan police force are striving to serve
as good officers worthy of public trust,
suggested that the public should not
throw bricks" of criticism at the newly
formed trial board, but rather should
await the results of its disciplinary
measures with an open mind.
Hits OverzeaIous Officers.
Is member of the public order COM
mittee, was made during discussion
of the whole police situation, in
which Matthew O'Brien, an attorney,
asserted that the police courts are
cluttered up with respectable" citizens
who should not be there and who are
arrested for minor ATTRACTIONS of the
police regulations due to eagerness on
the part of policemen to make record
of arrests
However, Mr.. O'Brien added, the re-
cent outspoken criticism of the police
department as a whole has done more
harm to the morale of the members of
the department. than anything else.
Is Of 1900 Pass.
Lieut.. Burke explained the difficulty
of getting a sufficient number of high
type applicants for positions in the de-
partment, explaining that out of $500
who some time past sent in requests
for formal applications for positions,
400 appeared for examination, 1875
passed the physical tests, and of these
but Is were finally approved.
Odell S. Smith. chairman of the
committee, suggested that in order to
avoid congestion of cases before the
Police Trial Board. minor complaints
against policemen should be taken care
of by precinct lieutenants or captains.
but Lieut.. Burke pointed out that this
system is not in accord with the police
manual.
The meeting was addressed by
Francis v. Thompson, superintendent
of the Boys Club of Washington, who
emphasized the Importance of this or
ganization to the proper training for
youths. both the white and colored.

pend on the accuracy with which he
promulgates his warnings.
The almost continuous succession of
telephone calls for information as to the
progress of the storm must be taken
care of by assistants. There is one phone
call daily that he manages to answer
personally. It comes from Secretary
Saunders at the White House. who re-
quests latest news of the hurricane for
President Coolidge. Mitchell can hear
the voice of the President prompting
Secretary Saunders in his questioning
Fortunately for all concerned, Mr.. Cool
idge times his calls so that they arrive
at the bureau after the pressure of the
morning work is lessened. Otherwise
even the President might have to con-
tent himself with data supplied by a
subordinate to the forecaster.
Knows No Hours.
Forecasting knows no hours, because
storms care neither for time nor per-
son. Mitchell, and the associate FORE
caster, r. Hanson Weightman, are at
their desks daily at 1880 O'Clock in the
morning and they do not close their
desks until nearly midnight.
Even when the ferecaster goes to his

thoughts of iso-bars and low pressure
areas and anti-cyclones and such. He
has upon his shoulders the load that
comes with the knowledge that the
welfare of thousands of fellow beings
may hang upon the nature of his fore
cast
Should he have drawn that area CEN
ter little more to the south, or moved
that storm warning farther northward?
These and hundred other houghs race
through his mind as other citizens relax
in quiet slumber.
In spite of his multitudinous worries
at such time as this, the forecasteI
succeeds in maintaining, outwardly at
least, a calm that creates confidence
among his associates and maintains a
morale that makes for cooperation and
remarkable efficiency.
1t is an intriguing game. and Mitchell
and Weightman and all their colleagues
play it as though their own lives de-
pended on the outcome.

pencil and draw line of possible
advance.
Forecaster Mitchell did just this as
more reports began to come in about
the PARKWAY storm. He soon realized
that the little disturbance" noted by
the master of the vessel was really a
developing tropical hurricane of serl-
Gus proportions. The storm was head
ing toward Porto Rico, and to the near
by islands he dispatched without delay
definite warnings of the impending
storm.
Hurricanes Are Tickle.
Hurricanes are tickle things for fore
casters to deal with They have habit
of sWerving now and then from the
course upon which they have set out, and
which the forecaster so carefully has
charted on his maps. That is why he
must proceed with the greatest caution
in issuing advance warnings to any par
ticular locality. A false alarm creates
unwarranted distress and havoc. In the
present instance the hurricane took an
almost direct path across the West In
dies to Florida, and. then suddenly veer-
ed northward along the Atlantic Coast
line. Warnings at first were issued to
Gulf Coast ports in Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, which lay in the original path
as extended, but these soon were with
drawn as interrupted lines of commune
cation told of the abrupt swing away
from the Gulf and north into Georgia
and North Carolina.
In the midst of the increasing
turmoil created at the forecast room
by the flood of messages and reports
and inquiries, Forecaster Mitchell must
sit in studied concentration on the
immediate and pressing work before
him.
Extra Work for All.
Hurricanes mean extra work for
every one. In addition to the regular
daily forecasts that must be gotten out
on scheduled time, special hurricane
warnings must be formulated and
broadcast to affected points. He cam
not allow distractions to turn his atten-
ton away from the curious lines and
circles and marks which are before him.

SCHOOL PRINCIPAL, JANITOR

Three Roll Down Steps as
Stuart Junior High Pupils
Watch.

When he objected to a photographer
taking pictures of schoolgirls, ranging
from IL to Is years of age in what he
considered undignified poses on the
east front of Stuart Junior High School
yesterday, Claus j. Schwartz, principal
of the school, became involved in n
scuffle with the photographer and both
men with the ianitor of the school
rolled down flight of stone steps.
Although none of the participants in
the ARRAY, which was witnessed by a
crowd of students, was seriously in
jured, Schwartz has referred the case
to school officials and is awaiting their
advice as to whether he should file
charges against o. B. Troup, the pho
tographer, who is employed by the
Washington Times.
Schwartz's and Troup's trousers were
torn and the camera damaged. The
Photographic plates, however, were
saved
According to Mr.. Schwartz. M. A.
Sheenan, janitor at the building, re-
ported to him shortly after o'clock
yesterday that photographer was
taking pictures of group of girls with
their stockings rolled. down. Schwartz
Immediately went outside the building
and asked the photographer what
authority he had to make the pictures,
to which query the principal says Troup
responded None of your business"
Then Schwartz picked up the camera,

Unmindful of the fact that in such

the death-dealing winds.
From far-f1ung points he receives by

the eminous little concentric circles that
enable him to trace on the map the

trickle in of castatrophic damage done
in the islands far off the southeastern
coast of the United States.
Forecaster Charles mitchell, the tall.
smiling senior forecaster at the local
bureau, received an inkling of what was
to come as long ago as September TO-.
On that day there came to him from a
merchant vessel in midecean northeast
of South America and about 600 miles
east of the West Antilles, radio re-
port of disturbance" developing in
that remote ship lane.
The report merely said in few words
that storm of some intensity seemed
brewing There were no details on
which to base forecast of its direction,
force or extent. 1t was just an inkling.
Not long afterward, however, there
came from second ship in the same
vicinity corroborative report that
started the forecaster and his associates
thinking.

PUPIL ENROLMENT
|SNEAR|NG 10000
Second Days School Regis
tration Figures Considerably
Swell Opening Total.

With total registration of 63.128
boys and girls in the elementary and
high schools of the District yesterday,
indications at o'clock today were that
this figure would be materially raised
toward the 10000 mark when all schools
had reported their second days en-
rollment
One of the most interesting "scholas-
tic upsets" in the school system is the
decrease in the enrolment at Central
High School and the increase in the
number of students entering the new
Mckinley High School. Today 1906
students had entered Mckinley, as
compared with the second days en-
roilment last year of 1,197, representing
an increase of 800 students Although
Mckinley's old rival, Central had not
reported its second days attendance
at O'Clock, its attendance yesterday
showed decrease in its first-day en-
rolment over last year with 1896,
against 1881 for the corresponding
Gay OF the last school year. The only
other senior high school to report early
this afternoon was Business, whose en-
rollment showed an increase of So
students for its second day over the
corresponding day last year, with 1919
IN class today as against 1,l67 last year.
With severe congestion in schools of
the Takoma Park section the school
officials will open tomorrow morning
the group of portable buildings on the
Kalmia road site at Fourteenth street.
In these buildings will be moved classes
which were organized yesterday and to-
day IN the Takoma Park schools, repre-
senting children of the Takoma Park
and Rock Creek Estates sections.
Based on last years increase in en-
rollment on the first and second days
Of the school year, today probably will
witness 5000 pupils more in the city
schools than were enrolled yesterday.
A year ago the opening day enrolment
was 62,643, while the second days regis
tration swelled the figures to 66,157, an
increase of ASIA in one day.
