from possible internal INJURIES, shock and
bruises.

The plane appeared above the fire at

to the side of the plane, where he re-

The shipyard, erected during the wal
for the construction of steel freighters
has not been in operation since shortly
after signing of the armistice, and is
gradually disappearing. The last act
was the recent sale of the buildings by
the receiver for small fraction of the
original cost.
A portion of the plant was used for
several years for dismantling more than
100 wooden vessels, which were pur-
chased for less than 10 per cent of their
original cost and wrecked for their ma

BRANDS AS FALSE
LAWLESS CHARGE
Judge Cobb Makes Declaration in
Constitution Week Talk
at Y. w. G. A.

Charging that any assertion that the
United States was lawleSs nation was
false, Judge James A. Cobb of the
Municipal Court, addressing a meeting
at the Y. W. G. A. Building as part OF
the program of Constitution week, de-
clared that any nation which would
allow the decisions of nine justices OF
the Supreme Court to be the controlling
law of its millions of citizens could not
be considered lawless.
The Constitution, declared the magis-
trate, is the greatest instrument that
the brain of man has ever executed and
has stood the test for more than a
century and a half with the addition
of only 10 amendments, 10 of which
were added at one time. He asked that
all make an earnest study of the docu-
ment, both as to its letter and to its
spirit, and to rededicate themselves to
the furtherance of the sterling prin-
ciples for which it stood.
In addition to the declaration of
Judge Cobb, Rev. A. F. Zines, pastor
of the Plymouth Congregational Church;
Charles E. Robinson, president of the
Washington Bar Association, and S. w.
Rutherford, Secretary-treaSurer of the
National Benefit Association, discussed
the theme and spirit of the Constitution
at the meeting. Attorney George e. c.
Hayes presided at the gathering.

PROSECUTOR EXPECTS
LANDLORDS SUPPORT
Many of 2s9 Who Received No
tices Agree to Evict Offend
ing Tenants.

Police will arrest those who gamble
on the daily report of the United States
weather report just as quickly as they
will arrest devotees of any other form
Of numbers gambling, U S. District
Attorney Leo A. Rover declared today.
No action will be taken by the District
attorneys office, however, to eliminate
from the weather report figures which
lend themselves to gambling, the Dis
trict attorney said.
Admitting that the temperature fig
Ures as published every day in Wash
1ngton lend themselves readily to
numbers" gambling. Mr.. Rover de-
clared that there is nothing to be done
about them but prosecute those found
using them for gambling purposes, and
he proposes to instruct police to include
the weather report gamblers in their
present drive on all forms of numbers"
players.
Papers Action Helps.
Removal of daily reports of the New
York clearing house from the front
pages of newspapers in the Capital. Mr..
Rover believes, has limited, to some eX-
gagged in the collecting of bets and pay
ing off in the numbers" game.
Mr.. Rover reported also today that
he expects practically unanimous sup
port in the response to the 289 letters
sent out on September 9 to landlords
all over the city informing them OF IL
legal actions of tenants Assistant Dis
trict Attorney R. F. Camalier, who mas
been placed in charge of the prosecu-
ton of gamblers of all sorts declared
today that about go per cent of those
who have been written to have sign1f1ed
their intention of evicting the Offend
ing tenants. Not one protest OF the
action of the District attorneys office
has been received, he declared.
Will Seek Jail Sentences.
Prosecution of alleged numbers"
operators in the courts of the District
will be aimed at securing maximum jail
sentences of three years, provided in the
old policy game law, on which the Dis
trict attorney is basing his action
against the alleged hackers of the Cap
ital's newest form of organized gam
bling, Camalier said.
The old policy game law provides for
q fine not to exceed $500 or imprison-
ment not to exceed three years in jail.
Camalier said that he believes that
juries in the District will convict those
held now on numbers" charges under
the policy law. With conviction, he
believes, the maximum penalty will
follow.
Numbers" according to District At
torney Rover, comes under the head of
commercial gambling and is gambling
in its most insidious form. Every effort
of the district attorneys Office will be
directed toward the stamping out for
good the game which has gained a ire
mendous hold on the gambling frater-
nifty of the city and has filled the purses
of the operators through enormous odds
against the players.

.EX-MAR|NE FACES
|. FORGERY CHARGES
R. B. MaCIntyre Accused of
Using White House Physi-
clans Name on Checks.

Robert Bertrand MacIntyre, alias
Norman r. Wilson, 23-year old former
Marine and one-time orderly to Presi-
dent Coolidge on the presidential yacht
Mayflower, was today charged with forg-
ing the name of Comdr. Joel T. Boone,
personal physician to President Hoover,
to five checks, totaling nearly $500
Headquarters Detectives Ira E. Keck
and B. w. Thompson of the bad check
squad are also investigating other al
legged forgery activities of MacIntyre, in
which he is said to have used the name
of high Marine Corps official.
MacIntyre was arrested at Casualty
Hospital yesterday where he had ap-
piled for treatment after suffering in
juries said to have been sustained while
stunning in a downtown Turkish bath.
Policeman Jerry Cullinane of the ninth
precinct, who was in the hospital at
the time MacIntyre applied for ad-
mission, recognized the name the man
gave as the same which had been con-
tanned in a lookout broadcast from
police headquarters for a man wanted
on forgery charges. Cullinane imne-
diately communicated with headquar-
tiers, and Detective Howard Ogle was
dispatched to the hospital from the
Central Bureau. After questioning.
Ogle said MacIntyre admitted being the
man wanted.
Methods Followed.
According to Headquarters Detective
Thompson, MacIntyre, who was dis
charged from the Marine Corps about
a year ago after serving for several
years, would communicate with FASH
ionable downtown hotels by telephone
and represent himself as Comdr.
Boone, sending a man to the hotel to
get a check cashed. He would later
appear, police said. with check bear
ing the alleged forged signature of the
White House physician and obtain the
amount of the check presented.
Records at police headquarters show
that the man was arrested about a
year ago under the name of MacIn-
tyre in connection with the theft OF
an automobile. He was held for the
grand jury on this charge. but the
case later dismissed MacIntyre con-
tended at this time that his real name
was Wilson, but later disclosed his
identity.
Didn't Care"
IT just got to drinking and didn't
care what happened MacIntyre said
when brought to police lineup this
morning II have a good record in the
Marine Corps and certainly wished
had never left. If ever get the chance
again I'll never get in another mess
like this" he concluded, with every
muscle in his face and hands quivering
from what he said was the nervous
reaction from alcohol.
He pleaded with Detectives Thompson
and Keck to send him to Gallinger Hos
pital, but this was refused. Thompson
said MacIntyre was sent to the Naval
Hospital after his arrest last year and
walked away from the authorities.

APPEAL ORDERED
Arlington Supervisors Name
Barbour to Assist Cloth
in Presenting Case.
BY LESTER n. INSKEEP,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE. Va, May 15-Bringing to an
abrupt halt speculation as to whether
Arlington County intended to appeal
the decision rendered in favor of the
city of Alexandria in the annexation
case, the Board of County Supervisors
today unanimously authorized the APP
peal and selected John S. Barbour. chief
counsel in the original defense, to assist
Commonwealth Attorney William c.
Cloth in the preparation and presenta-
ton Of the appeal.
Cloth filed a letter with the board
in which he said that statements prev
alent in the county to the effect that
between 100000 and $4,000 had been
spent in Arlington County'S defense
were greatly exaggerated. The actual
eXpenditures to date are $l6,352.36, he
said
After a discussion on statements
coming from the Virginia State High
way Commission to the effect that the
WaShingto Alexandria pike Will be
widened only to Four-Mile Run, the
board appointed Supervisor B. M. He'd
rick, Cloth and c. l.. Kinnier, county
directing engineer, to confer with the
commission regarding the Sums that
were supposed to have been used on the
road project and asked that they be
diverted to the completion of Glebe road
to the new tentative Alexandria limit
In case the commission refused this re-
quest the committee was authorized to
request that the money be expended in
a continuance of the Lee Highway
