When children pine for something to
do on shiny day. let them help clean
silver or brass that needs polishing.
First, cover the kitchen floor with news
papers and put thick pad Of them on
the kitchen table: then cover the chill

Children love to work with thick

SHELBY AND KELLY
DEFENSE IS OPENED
Business and Professional
Men Rally to Support
Accused Policemen.

Washington's outstanding business
and professional men rallied to the sup
port today of Inspector William S.
Shelby and Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly in
their fight before an extraordinary po-
lice trial board for acquittal on charges
of bungling the Mcpherson case in
vestigation, as the defense opened its
case.
eratives, District officials and prominent
police officers were included in the i'm
posing array of character witnesses who
were called. All of them extolled in
glowing terms the virtues of Inspector
Shelby and Lieut.. Kelly, describing
them as competent, efficient, courteous
and honest men in whom they imposed
the utmost confidence.
The prosecution rested its case
abruptly when the trial board convened
shortly after 10 o'clock and the defense
proceeded Immediately with its case by
calling a succession of character wit
neSSes. The procession continued with
out interruption until luncheon recess.
Agree on Procedure.
The prosecution was enabled to close
its case as result of a decision late
yesterday not to make further efforts
to compel three recalcitrant members
OF the July grand jury to testify. This
course was suggested by the defense in
order to expedite the trial and was
agreed to by Prosecutors Robert E.
Lynch and Walter L. Fowler after a
conference with Corporation Counsel
William w. Bride.
In view of the decision, all proceed
ings against Merritt 0. Chance, fore
man of the July grand jury, and Bax-
ter M. Davidson and Joseph Bait, two
members OF that jury were dropped.
Chance had been ordered by Police
Court Judge Gus A. Schuldt to appear
before the board Friday and complete
his testimony. Contempt proceedings
had been contemplated against Bait
and Division. who refused to testify yes
terday when they appeared before the
trial board In response to Police Court
subpoena.
Chance had completed his direct ex-
animation when he became incensed at
a statement of Assistant United States
Attorney Shea and refused to return to
the witness stand for croSS-eXamination.
His direct testimony, however, will re-
main in the record under an agree
ment between defense and prosecution
counsel, both sides having waived the
right to crosS-eXamine in his case.
Sixty Witnesses Called.
More than so character witnesses
have been summoned by the defense,
and at the rate they are testifying it
is likely that all of them will face the
trial board by Thursday afternoon.
The board will not be in session to-
morrow.
The decision of the prosecution to
abandon efforts to force the three July
grand jurors to testify leaves unde-
termined the mooted legal question
whether the police trial board had au-
thority to compel witnesses to testify
either directly or indirectly through
Police Court action. The proceedings
instituted against Chance were de-
signed primarily to test the boards
power, but it was feared that proSpec-
tive litigation would interfere unneces-

GAMBLING IN JAIL
IN PROBE
OF RUM SMUGGLING
Report Says Guard Brought
in Liquor to Treat Prisoners.
Denies Ring Rumors.

Gambling has been permitted in the
District Jail, it was revealed today by
Paul L. Kirby, assistant director of
public welfare, in making public the
results of an exhaustive investigation
of conditions at the institution.
Kirby also revealed that smuggling of
liquor had resulted in the discharge of
one guard, and drinking on duty has
placed another guard in a precariouS
position. No action has been taken in
the case of the second guard, but Kirby
indicated he would be dismissed. The
guard already discharged is Walter I.
Malone. Kirby declined to reveal the
name of the other man involved.
Kirby's report. also disclosed that
rumors Of the smuggling of narcotics
into the jail could not be confirmed.
He added 1t could be confidently be-
Iieved that there has been no traficking
in drugs"
Kirby's statement that gambling had
been permitted among prisoners was
the first intimation that the inveStiga-
ton in progress at the Jail for several
days had resulted in the discovery OF
such activities.
Kirby declared that one of the guards
was relieved from duty because he was
detected taking whisky ITO the jail
While the report did lot name Ma
lone, it was obvious that it had refer
ence to him. The report continued that
this guard "also permitted crap games
and card playing on the fourth floor
Of the north wing, which was his post
of duty. It appears that he allowed
prisoners outside their cells for brief
periods and in small groups to play
these games for money in the passage
way in front of the cell doors. Because
of the elevation of the floor and the
length of the passageway, this quiet
gambling could not be observed from
any other part of the building"
No Evidence of Narcotics.
There appeared no evidence what
ever of the presence of narcotics in re-
cent years except in three isolated in
stances, but only the utmost vigilance
on the part of the Jail authorities can
foil the persistence and ingenuity of
prisoners and their friends on the out
side in their efforts to smuggle these in.
1t can be confidently believed that
there has been no trafiicking in drugs.
