PEN 'UNWANTED
BY MD. CITIES

HAGERSTOwN, Nd, Sept. 25.
The mayor of Hagerstown fell in
line with the mayor Of Frederick by
declaring that, as far as he was con.
cerned, 'the State welfare board can
overlook this city entirely when it
selects the site for the proposed new
penitentiary."
II see no real good that could come
from locating the new prison in
Hagerstown," said Mayor Musey
"and I see plenty of harm.
Il quite agree with Mayor Cutler,
of Frederick, that it would give the
city a bad name. There are two
kinds of institutions I think this or
any city can very well do without
prisons and insane asylums.
"Of course" the mayor continued,
'if some one suggested locating
new industry here, I would be in
terested. but the suggestion to locate
a penitentiary here leaves me quite

MRS. BLAL0Ck
CALLS TRIAL
FARCE

Mrs. Helen Frances Blalock, the
titian-haired palmist, thinks the
trial of Capt. Guy A. Burlingame
was farce.
The former Seventh Street reader
of life lines spent yesterday in the
Capital in conference with her at
torney, Capt. Crandal Mackey, who
is handling her real estate during
her absence in Chicago.
Captain Burlingame's trial was a
farce from start to finish," she de-
clared. 1T was disgraceful white
wash. l was tried, instead of the
defendant"
The Washington police captain
was charged with conduct preju-
dicial to the Police Department. it
being alleged that he wrote love
letters to Mrs Blalock, giving her
large sums of money and handling
her finances against her will.
Mrs. Blalock travelled from Texas
to Washington and was the star
witness against her "Heartsore
Daddy" as one of the letters was
signed.
Captain Burlingame was found
not guilty, and soon thereafter re-
tired from the force.

PROBE OF HOSPITAL
SOUGHT BY HEFL|N
Alabama Senator Asks That
st. EIizabeth's AdminiStra-
ton Be Investigated.

Two resolutions by Senator Heflin,
Democrat, of Alabama, seeking to bring
about investigations of st. Elizabeth
Hospital and of the operation of the
apportionment law in civil service ap-
pointments, were among several meas
ures affecting the District introduced
in the Senate yesterday.
Both of these resolutions are a re-
vival of questions raised by Senator
Heflin in the last Congress, and follow
ing their reintroduction yesterday they
were referred to the committee on audit
and control for report.
One resolution would create special
committee of five Senators to inquire
into the administration of st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, particularly with respect
to- alleged rniStreatment of patients in
such hospital and illegal commitments
thereto"
The other resolution also would Gre
ate a committee of five to investigate
alleged illegal appointments and dis
missals in the Government departments
in Washington since 1919. This reso-
luton is based on contention that
Maryland, Virginia and the District of
Columbia have more than their quotas
under The apportionment law in the
civil service and raises the claim that
persons from States whose quotas are
in arrears have been dropped from the
service.
Senator Fess, Republican, of Ohio,
vice chairman of the George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission, intro
duced resolution to expedite con-
struction of the memorial boulevard

ment an improved procedure for con-

Despite the present cold wave and

out ice skating, and prospect for this
sport is far from bright at this time.
This is the word sent out by oficials
OF the ONCE of Public Buildings and
Public Parks Of the National Capital
today in response to queries and COM
plants that the Lincoln Memorial re-
flecting pool is dry and there isn't any
water in it for Jack Frost to work on.
The offlcials explained today that the
little pool adjoining Seventeenth street
has water in it, but there is only thin
skim of ice, and not enough to bear
weight. The temperature of the water
has been from 80 to 35 degrees, just
above the Fahrenheit freezing mark.
Colder weather is promised by wealth

enveloped in the cold wave from Ohio

that then skating may come" the Of
