0. l. HeIsIey Sponsors Move
for ChiIdren's Building
on Potomac Avenue.
SAYS INSTITUTION
WOULD AID COMMUNITY
Requests Protest of Citizens As.
ISOLATION, Now on File,
Be Ignored.

A new petition, urging a change of
coming OF property fronting on the 5000
block Of Potomac avenue to permit con-
Struction there of the Children's Coun-
try Home, was forwarded to the Zoning
Commission today by o. L. Helsley, 5729
Potomac avenue.
At the hearing on the case before the
commission Wednesday, C. S. Bailey.
president of the Conduit Road Citizens
Association, entered vigorous protest
against the change in coming for the
domestic. The commission is to meet
in executive session Monday to pass
judgment on this and the long list of
other changes sought.
Supports Movement.
In his letter to the commission TODAY.
Mr.. Helsley charges that the Conduit
Road Citizens Association should NOT
be allowed to influence the decision of
the commission, since the location of
the charitable institution is a city-wide.
and not merely community, matter.
AS a property owner near the proposed
site. Mr.. Helsley supports the proposed
coming change, from residential A.
restricted to A area.
II can think of no better site for the
institution, all things considered" he
writes. II believe that it would be an
improvement lOI lIlIS community. the
District of Columbia and a benefit to
humanity. I am convinced that despite
the action of the Conduit Road Citi-
Zens' Association. a large majority of
our people are in favor of the Children's
Home and its location on the beautiful
knoll overlooking the Potomac Valley"
Mr.. Helsley raised the question as to
whether President Bailey of the citi-
zenS body was speaking for the ma
jority of the citizens Mr.. Helsley
volunteered to make poll of residents
of the section on the question of the
location of the home there.
so Names Presented.
In opposing the proposed coming
change, to allow location of the chill
dren'S convalescent home on the site
Mr. Bailey presented list of 60 names
of residents of the community, said to
object to the project there. 1t was
argued also that erection of the home
on the proposed Potomac avenue site
would likely interfere with plans of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for development of a
drive along the Potomac River.
Another objection was based on the
contention that already there are a
number of charitable and correctional
institutions in or near the section and
that another should not be added to the
list
Mr.. Helsley contended in his letter,
however, that erection of the children's
home would result in enhancement of
nearby property values. The projected
building. he asserts, will be credit to
any community. It will cost about
S125,000 and be of French colonial
architectural style.

BUREAU CHARGES
MISUSE OF FUND
Efficiency Chief Reports GAL
Iinger Coal Appropriation
Used for Jail.

Misuse of the coal fund for Gallinger
Municipal Hospital was charged yester-
day by Herbert D. Brown, chief of the
Bureau of Efficiency, in reporting to the
District Commissioners on the results
of an inquiry conducted by the bureau
into expenditures at the institution.
Brown questioned the propriety and
wisdom of such methods on the part OF
the Board Of Public Welfare in charg-
ing that an appropriation to buy coal
for the hospital had been used illegally
in part for the benefit of the District
asylum and jail. A lengthy report by
j. w. Sanford and r. w. Maxwell spe-
cial investigators, was submitted to SUBJ
stantiate the charge.
In letter to Commissioner Dough-
erty, Brown said:
II am submitting herewith a men,
orandum, dated September l6, 1929,
relative to the purchase of coal and
subsistence supplies from the Gallinger
Municipal Hospital appropriation dur
ing the latter part of the fiscal year
1929, for use by the Washington Asy-
lum and jail, to avoid the presentation
of request to Congress for a deficiency
appropriation.
Inc dCGlOU III ILLS CdSc W dc
clearly a misuse of the hospital appro-
Attention is called to the facts set forth
in this memorandum which indicate
that had greater care been used by the
Jail in anticipating its needs during
the fiscal year, the appropriations made
for the Jail would. in all likelihood
have been ample to enable all sub
sistence supplies required during May
and June to be purchased without Gre
ating deficiency"
George S. Wilson, director of public
welfare. informed the Commissioners
in a letter, also made public yesterday,
that he acknowledges the truth of the
charges, but added that there were no
improper motives in the transaction and
no loss to the District government. The
whole transaction was known to the
responsible officials. he said. and there
was no effort at concealment.
Wilson's explanation Of the situation
follows:
In the Fall of 1928, the Gallinger
Buildings. up to that time heated from
the Jail plant, were connected with the
main hospital plant, and in May, 1929
the hospital opened its own laundry, sc
that the two institutions are now main
tanned independently so far as appro-
priations are concerned.
There is still cooperation in the
matter of certain services which each
can perform for the other to their
mutual advantage.
Under these circumstances it was
deemed proper to allow the hospital
to furnish some supplies for the jail
which it could do without detriment
to its own service. The transaction
may have been without specific author
ity of law, but there is no implica-
ton of improper motives and no loss
was incurred by the Government"

Texas Youth Rides
Into Capital With
Message to Hoover
Boy Who Visited Coolidg &c
at Fishing Lodge Makes
Trip on Horse, Mollie.

Selling post cards to pay his way
year-old Boyd Jones, who last Summer
rode from Texas to President Coolidge's
fishing lodge in Wisconsin, arrived in
washington aStride his horse. Mollie,
late yesterday with messages for Presi-
dent Hoover.
Today, clad in a red silk shirt, green
neckerchief, chaps and l0-gallon hat.
the sandy-haired young Texan rode his
horse to the White House to make an
appointment to see the President.
Although it is his first visit to Wash
ington, Boyd seemed little awed with
its governmental splendor and showed
not the slightest fear or hesitancy con-
corning his visit to the White House
and Mr.. Hoover.
He is worried, however, as to the
fate of his horse Starting from his
home with only $50 for the 1,800-mile
trip which consumed rs days, he was
able to do little more than exc out a
bare living by selling postcards of pic
lures. for which he posed with Mr..
Coolidge last year, while travelling. AS
a result he is short of funds and thinks
he may have to sell Mollie since the
freight rates to Texas are too high for
his slender purse.
"Of course, my father would help
me if asked him to-" the boy stoutly
declared, but 1 don't want to do that.
I can't ride back because I'm in a
hurry to get back to school. 1t has
already started, you know" Boyd is in
the third year at high school.
He bears a goodwill message from
the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce,
an invitation, to attend the Tri-State
Fair and a book from Gene Howe, the
well known editor of the News-Globe
of Amarillo. The book was written
by Howe and is entitled, Them
Texans"
Mollie is a trick horse, trained by
Boyd, and will answer questions with
shakes of her head.

TENDER 81 CP).-Dr. Hugo Eckener ar
rived last night to find the Zeppelin
Works, from which he had been absent
for more than month, gorgeously
decorated in his honor with flags, bunt-
ing and flowers. The officers and crew
of the Graf Zeppelin had assembled in
the hangar to greet him.
In press conference later, DR.. FAX
ener said he did not plan to participate
in the flight to the North Pole in 1880
which DR.. Fridtjof Nansen has planned
for the dirigible.
The Zeppelin commander said it was
not true that the European terminal for
the intended transatlantic air service
would be situated in France, although
it was not unlikely that an intermediate
station would be erected near the
French coast to enable airships to in
terrupt their flights while waiting inn
provement of possibly adverse meteoro-
logical conditions. He said the start
ing point for the German-American air
rcrvice naturally would be In Germany.
