John Riley. q workman on the
Arlington Memorial bridge. went
to the hospital yesterday. He
looked. at the unconscious girl.
and said he believed he had
known her at Long Beach, Calf,
and in various places In the East.
She had several names, he said,

for almost a week, had side
stepped reporters who inquired as
to the progress.
Major Henry q. Pratt, police
superintendent. was on leave yes
terday, but returned to the Dist
Tict Building for a short time and
affixed his signature to the
charges, with a notation that they
were based on a report made by
q special board composed Of Corp
Grafton Counsel Bride and Major
Donald A. Dawson. assistant en-
gineer commissioner.
Bride and Dawson were ap-
pointed by the District Commits
Bioners to inquire into accusations
made by the July Grand Jury
against Shelby and Kelly.
Police Condemned
This Grand Jury, which heard
kvidence in the police McPherson
investigation, returned a supple
hnentary report strongly condemn
ing the manner in which police
handled the case, in addition to an
indictment charging Mrs. McPher-
sons husband with murder. Police
had claimed she committed sui
eide.
Subsequently the indictmentwas
E1rown out on a technicality and a
succeeding Grand Jury refused to
hold Mcpherson. The charges
against police made by the first
Mcpherson Grand Jury have never
been disposed of. however, and the
accused officers themselves de-
mand a public hearing and q
chance to eXonerate themselves
campleteIy.
The BrideDavison board vainly
attempted to induce members Of
the first Grand Jury appear before
st and tell why they considered
the police investigation Inefficient.
Only q few appeared. Then
the investigators prepared q re-
port, containing substantially the
same specifications which were
later prepared In the Corporation
Counsel's Office for the trial next
Wednesday. It was based on the
Grand Jury's findings and sup
Elementary report.
One Charge Added
The charges submitted by
Lynch and Fowler yesterday
differ ia only one important re-
kpect from those preferred by
the Bride-D board, In that
they include the accusation
against both Shelby and Kelly Of
hconduct unbecoming an officer,
consisting Of acts detrimental to
good discipline and intended to
bring discredit ON the force"
II There are three identical charges
against Shelby and Kelly.
Major 4. e. Atkins, Assistant
Engineer Commissioners, is chair
man Of the special trial board.
Ehe other members are Capt.
H. c. Whitehurst, District En-
kineer Department co-ordinatOr,

The motion will be argued on

The defendants in that pro
ceeding are Pitts, Henry, Girls
singer, Zihlman, Maddux, the F..
H. Smith Company, the Smith
Selling Company. and r. Golden
Donaldson.
Donaldson Left Out
Donaldson, president Of the
Commercial National Bank and
q former retained attorney for

dicted by the Grand Jury, Tues

separate report to the court, ac-
cusing him Of unprofessional con.

building contracts to the construc-
tion company.
The justices Of the court have
referred the Grand Jury's report

They accuse the Smith company

its capitalization from $1,100,000
to $7,00O,OO0, although 1t owned

cept the office building on Fiji

and of using Maddux as an agent

for the purpose Of pyraTniding

The motion for q temporary

PARLEY ENVOY

j. s. SHIP

Plans Of the American delega-
tion to the London naval con.
ference to travel on q liner fly.
ing foreign flag were thrown
into confusion by a ruling by
Comptroller General McCarl yes
terday.
The ruling virtually forces the
delegation to use the slow cabin
ship George Washington, which
lacks luxurious quarters. Other
wise Uncle Sam cannot okay
the bill, according to the ruling
McCarl reported that the Amer
ican delegation must travel on
a ship flying the American flag.
The George Washington, which
sails from New York January
IL. is the only American ship
available.
Legal Clause Quoted
The decision pointed out that
under the Jones-White law United
States officials must travel on
American ships whenever 1t Is
possible.
If the delegation uses q for
eign ship. it must make affidavit
that there Is no American ship
available for the voyage in order
to have the vouchers sent through
the Treasury Department TO de-
fray the transportation.
Secretary of State Stimson mas
been endeavoring to obtain the
lLeViathan for the trip. The
great liners sailing schedule
Would have to be advanced four
days, however, IN order to permit
the delegation to arrive in Lon
don In time for the opening Of
the conference. So far this plan
has not succeeded.
Foreign Ships Chosen
The delegation then planned to
sail either on the Olympic, OF the
White Star line and flying the
British flag, or use the Bremen.
the new German liner which
holds the transatlantic speed
record.
McCarl's ruling. however. inter
prets the law as preventing use
Of the olympic or the Bremen,
because Of the fact that the
George washington can be used
for the voyage.
President Hoover was said to
have decided that under the law
McCarl'S ruling is correct.
