NAVY YARD SHOPS LINKED
BY ONE-TRACK RAILROAD
Employees Celebrate Opening by
Electing Board of Directors
and Naming Officers.

With much pomp and ceremony a
r: ilroad ives inaugurated here last week.
1t connects the north, middle and south
broadside mount shops at the navy
yard.
The work of building the railroad,
which is single track but standard
gauge, required several weeks. AS the
date OF completion drew near, the 300
employees of the shops, conscious of the
significance to them of rail Transports
ton after being forced for years to walk,
felt the opening of the new railroad
should be solemnized with ceremony.
More than that, they believed 1t should
be operated in accordance with the
most advanced principles.
A board of directors therefore was
elected, which in turn selected a COM
plete set of officers. AS evidence Of its
complete freedom from prejudice. the
board made the colored janitor of one
of the shops first vice president. A
bench man" was named president. A
train crew, including an engineer and
cnductor, was not overlooked.
So far, the only rolling stock of the
"big" railroad is one truck, which, when
loaded with tools or materials, is pushed
back and forth between the shops by
the FIRST vice president.

CHARGE OF FRAUD
Susan B. Anthony League
Director Is Accused by
Mrs. ParkhurSt.

The controversy in the Susan B. An
thony League entered new phase to-
day when Mrs. Virginia Peters Park
hurst, Maryland director, swore out
warrant before Justice Of the Peace
Francis S. Shipley at Berwyn, Md,
charging Mrs. Jesse F. Deal, director,
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses with intent to defraud
The warrant was the outcome of the
action of Mrs. Deal in signing checks
for 500 and $37 to withdraw funds
from the First National Bank at Hy-
attsville, Mrs. Parkhurst charges. The
money represented two accounts, Mrs.
Parkhurst says, which she had started
in the bank jointly with Mrs. George
Phillips, as representatives of the Mary
land branch of the league. Justice
Shipley said he would turn the warrant
over to Constable Claude Reese, who
would attempt to serve it on Mrs. Deal,
ing avenue, Washington.
Several weeks ago, Mrs. Mary Allen
Adams, president of the league, an
nounced its dissolution by the Virginia
State Corporation Commission and
charged that after Is years of collecting
no funds remained in the treasury Mrs
Parkhurst has challenged her authority
to ask for dissolution of the league and
| also charged that Mrs. Adams election
to the presidency of the league was &C.
complished in an illegal manner.

| case today and at Mrs. Adams home, 1t
was said, She was visiting in Massachu-

MARINE LIEUTENANT'S EXPLOIT
RECALLS HIS THRILLING RECORD
Herman Henry Hanneken
Captures One of San

Surprise Attack on Charlie
magne, Haitian Bandit, in
1919, Remembered.

The feat Of First Lieut.. Herman
Henry Hanneken of the Marine Corps.
who has just captured one of SandinoS
leaders in Nicaragua, recalled to off,
GERS of the Navy Department today the
story of his thrilling exploit with the
late Corpl. william r. Button in invad-
ing the headquarters of the bandit,
Charlemagne Peralte, in Haiti, on the
night of october 31-November /, 1919,
killing him, and an adventure a few
months later, when Lieut.. Hanneken
slew another bandit in his own camp.
Information had been received at the
Marine Corps district headquarters, in
Haiti, that Charlemagne, supreme
bandit chief in the republic, accom-
panied by about 1900 outlaw follow
ers, had arrived in the vicinity of
Capois, Haiti, with the avowed purpose
of capturing and pillaging the town of
Grande Riviere. Permission was given
Henneken, then sergeant in the Ma
rine Corps and a captain in the Cen
darmerie dHaiti, and to Button,
first lieutenant in the Gendarmerie, to
carry into execution previously ar
ranged plans for the capture of the
bandit chief.
Selecting about 20 gendarmerie, all
of whom were disguised, Hanneken and
Button, on the night OF october 81,
1919. took position where they might
observe the movements OF Charlie
magne. About TOO bandits were OBJ
served making their way towards
Grande Riviere. Hanneken then de-
cided to capture Charlemagne in his
camp, where he understood the bandit
generalissimo intended to remain and
receive reports of the raid.
After about three hours Of difficult
mountain climbing through country
infested with bandits, the first of the
six outposts guarding Charlemagne's
camp was reached. Due to the
effectiveness of their disguise and
aided by the darkness, and the assur-
ing replies made to the challenges and
examinations of the enemy sentries
this outpost was successfully passed by
the invaders, as were the four succeed
ing ones.
The sixth outpost was the immediate
guard of Charlemagne, being about 80

Robert D. Dixon, 23-year-old colored
youth, driver of an alleged rum car
which struck and killed John F. Luitich,
57-year-old employee of the Government
Printing Office, on january 4, was con-
victed of leaving after colliding by
Judge Ralph Given in Police Court yes
terday. A fine of $500 or six months in
Jail was imposed.
Alleged to have been attempting to
escape arrest, Dixon was said to have
been driving at such high rate of
speed at the time of the accident that
Luitich was dragged $50 feet by the
machine. Patrolman w. A. Schotter
of the Traffic Bureau pursued the rum
car and captured Dixon after long
chase. Schotter was commended for
his action by the American Automobile
Association, which attempted to reward
him. AS his work was in the line of
duty the District Commissioners re-
fused the request of the Automobile
Association.
Dixon recently was convicted Of
transporting and possession of liquor
