completed tests in the chemical labora-

"Calavo contains less water and more
food material than any other known
fruit. containing from two to three
times as much food material rs most
common fruits and from four to six
times their energy value. 1t is one

HELD IN ROBBERY
OF VACANT HOUSES
Accused Man Enlisted Four
Boys Help in Stealing Fix
lures, Police Charge.

The task of ripping fixtures from va
cant houses and reducing them to junk
as a Salable commodity proved too
arduous for Lonnie H. Green, according
to sixth precinct police, who charge that
the 32-year-old man enlisted four boys
to assist him with the work.
Green is known to associates as Lon
CLANCY" He is thought to have used
his ability as mimic to win the atten-
ton and later the confidence of the
four boys.
With Green's arrest. police believe
they have solved the robbery of score
of vacant houses, although the prisoner
declares he entered only 10 of them,
and that Of this number the boys helped
him rob only one. Green is booked for
investigation at the sixth precinct
pending a check-up of other robberies
reported from the vicinity.
The four boys involved are Harold
Jerome Spain, IA; his brother, Roy, 13
of the 800 block Of G street; Paul Mel
vim Sanford, 10, of the 800 block Of In
diana avenue, and James ManthoS, Is,
of the 400 block of Louisiana avenue
The Spain brothers were committed to
the Receiving Home for Boys. 0l6 Poto-
mac avenue, as was Manthos, while
Sanford was released in custody of his
mother.
The three youths sent to the home
were already under. probation from
Juvenile Court, following their arrest
March 10 on petty larceny charge. =
Green, who resides at the Gospel
Mission, 214 John Marshall place, ad-
mitted pillaging two houses in the 300
block of C street, two in the 200 block
of B street, one in the 200 block of C
street, one in the 100 block of c street,
two in the 800 block of Fourth street,
one in the 100 block of D street, which,
Green says, the boys assisted in robbing.
and one in the 800 block of Indiana
avenue.
Green was arrested by Sergt. E. p.
Myers Of the sixth precinct after he was
pointed out by colored man who told
the sergeant he had seen Green looting
a vacant house.
Police say $500 would be con-
sentative estimate of the value of stolen
fixtures, and that the damage resulting
from ripping them out would amount
to several times this amount.

SEEN STAGED
. TO BUY ROADHOUSE
Prince Georges Prosecutor
Told by Woman of D. C.
Mans Interest in Place.

After questioning a woman yesterday,
States Attorney J. Frank Parran OF
Prince Georges County has come to the
belief that the recent shooting ARRAY in
Green Gables roadhouse, near Suitland
Nd, was planned by a Washington man.
who hoped to give the establishment a
bad name so he might purchase it at a
reduced price. Wesley Poutra was IA
tally wounded by gunman during the
fight, dying a few days later in Emer-
gency Hospital.
In the meantime, warrants charging
assault with intent to kill have been
issued for three men and two women, al
Of Washington. who are said to have
been in the roadhouse at the time OF
the shooting.
Engaged for Party.
According to Parran, the woman he
questioned yesterday told him a Wash
ington man, owner of lunchroom on
Ninth street, engaged the roadhouse
for a private party on the night the
shooting occurred This man had tried
to secure the property on several
former occasions. the woman said. but
the price was too high. She told the
States attorney she has been reliably
informed that this man planned the
party and the gun battle deliberately
in hope of giving the roadhouse a bad
name to further his own purpose.
Mr.. Parran said he did not believe
there was the slightest reason to link
the roadhouse shooting with any sup
posed "racketeering'' in Washington.
A similar position is taken by Local
police, who say there Is no foundation
whatsoever for the belief that racket
men, from other cities are contemplate
ing an invasion of Washington. Phila-
delphia gunner may come to Washing
ton occasionally, they say, but there is
nothing in this city to induce them to
locate here permanently.
Warrants for Five.
Lieut.. Edward j. Kelly, chief of the
homicide squad, holds warrants issued
