Among his first recommen- dations was the suggestion that young men who expect to teach would do we'll to mix in the affairs of life before entering the profess sion.
 "A true teacher" said Dr. Day in his inaugural address, should have a point in view. a rich, thoughtful conception of life, and a gentle pa- tience to listen to youthful concep- tions and piece together fragments that are sound and good.
 When I came back from the war and re-read Chaucer and Shake speare. was astonished to find how much better I understood both, than when I had formerly taught them I hope I shall not hurt the feelings of any young instructors present when I express what I have been

After comforting last night with
counsel and then individually de-
termining to go to Jail rather than
betray their sources of newspaper
information, the reporters were
buoyed in spirit by a message from
William Randolph Hearst, owner OF
the paper. 1t read:
To the Managing Editor:
"I think action of Grand Jury
is outrage, and although intention
may not be to protect speak
easies, that is exactly the re-
suit of such action. would not
like to see any of our reporters
go to Jail and hope we can
prevent it. However, / greatly
admire their fine journalistic
spirit"
The reporters appeared before
Justice Gordon yesterday afternoon
after having been certified by the
Grand Jury as recalcitrant wit
nesses. Their attorneys obtained
a continuance until today to look
up certain legal phases.

ALLEN s TRIAL
PLEA HEARD

Continued from First Page)
Of a coIored man who was fleeing
from crap game, Aliens dismissal
from the force was recommended by
a board composed of policemen. The
Commissioners overruled the recon-
mendation.
Allen and his friends feel that the
charge he now faces Is a serious one,
and that a board, composed Of police
officials. would have in mind from
the beginning that 1t might be a
means Of railroading him from the
force.
In the shooting case, Allen called
to the running man to halt, and ii.
nally shot low and wounded him in
the heal, circumstances which in thr
case Of any other officer, it is
claimed, would have resulted in a
verdict that the shooting was ''in
line of duty"
A precedent for the appointment
of a civilian trial board was set in
the case Of Capt: Guy E. Burlin-
games trial last year when a board
composed of civilian officials of
the District tried Burlingafne and
acquitted him Of charges of ICON.

tion" of the police force.
The charges against Dolye and
Allen grow out of the latter's state
ment, in connection with the ar
rest Of William Lee Moffatt, a
broker. that the District Attorneys
office had been lax in prosecution
of elleged previous offenses of Mof-
fatt. Captain Doyle sustained this
statement, and both officers were
suspended by Major Pratt. Doyle's
trial is set for November s.

cover Of legitimate business. Evi-
dence showed in two cases during
the past week that Isaac Chichester
and John J. Madden, both of whom
were convicted of possession, had
had some connection with restau-
rantA
Chichester was taking charge Of
his brothers restaurant in the
1400 block T st. N. W., he told
the jury, when the officers raided
the place. He was charged with
simple possession.
Madden, who was in the whisky
business before prohibition, oper-
ates near-beer saloon in the 2400
block Nichols Ave. N. w., Hart
said. He was charged with second
offense possession and convicted
and with maintaing a nuisance and
acquitted.
1t is more difficult to make out
cases for prosecuting a nuisance
since violation over a period OF time
must be proved. But Hart saws
he will cooperate with the police
and spare no effort to close up the
speakeasies. The maximum penalty
for maintaining a nuisance is one
year in jail and $1,000 fine.

if the memorandum contained suf'
ficient information to enable the
District Attorney to go to any OF
the places enumerated in the report
and gain evidence upon which a
prosecution might be based.
Il object; the District Attorney is
not supposed to go places" Burlkin-
shaw shouted.
Justice Gordon concurred in the
objection and the witness was not
allowed to answer the question.
The question was then amended
and the witness asked II the facts
contained in the memorandum were
sufficient to enable police to make
such investigation as would lead to
a prosecution and the witness re-
piled, "They are"
From the court room the re-
porters were led to the cell block

moments their hats and coats were

room where they had optimisticalIy

through the barred doors and mo-
tored to the District Jail.

Reporters Cheered By Message
Of Generalization By Mr.. Hearst

any information these reporters now
could give would not add one whit
to the essential information already
in the hands of the jurors.
The attorneys also questioned the
propriety of the Gradd Jury's in
sistence on testimony from the re-
porters, inasmuch as the jury Is an
inquisitorial body fully empowered
to conduct it's own investigation Of
the facts contained in the report
without the necessity of the re-
porters acting as prosecuting wit
nesses.
Evidence Is Lacking
The lawyers argued that even X
the reporters should consent to act
as prosecuting witnesses, they have
no samples Of the whisky that was
purchased, would not be fortified
with witnesses. and would not have
sufficient legal evidence to obtain
convictions. No aim can be ac-
complshed, it was pointed out, by
compelling them to testify.
The only hope Of effective action
against the 40 listed speakeasies
and bootleggers is through investi-
cation of the specific cases by the
District Attorneys office and the
gathering of legal evidence, the
LAWYERS declared.
While the Grand Jury is quib-
bling over the testimony of three
reporters, apparently nothing is
being done by the jury or the
District Attorneys office to gather
evidence against the alleged law
violators or to bring about their
immediate prosecution.

then asked if he had refused to
identify his memorandum before
the Grand Jury and he replied that
he had not seen it.
When asked to give his reasons
for refusing to disclose names,
places and dates on which he made
his purchases, he replied: Because
it will place me i'm the position
of being stool pigeon and will
hold me up among my friends and
fellow newspapermen to scOrn,
ridicule and contempt"
Justice Gordon interrupted the
Interrogation at this point and
asked Hendricks if it were not a
fact that he had violated the ethics
of his profession by turning his
memorandum over to his city edi-
tor, and Hendricks replied that he
did not think so because what he
told his city editor was still in con.
fidenCe.
The Washington times., 1929-10-30

Each of the other reporters wss
questioned in similar manner
and gave similar answers except
sBurkett, who when asked if he had
any additional reasons for refusing
to answer Grand Jury questions,
replied:
Eyes, I received a letter from
my mother this morning and she
told me If 1 turned stool pigeon
that I needn't come home for a
long time"
Burkett's home is in Georgia and
be has had an experience similar
TO this one before, having elected
an another occasion to go to jail
rather than disclose the source of
his information concerning story
written by him regarding a leak
in an Alabama grand jury proceed
ing.
Daniel f. O'Connell, city editor
of The Times, was placed on the
witness stand and testified that he
had taken the report or memoran-
dunn prepared by the reporters and
turned it over to the Grand Jury.
One of the reporters was asked

This is not the first time Burkett
