CITY To REFUND
WOMAN s $500

A judgment of the Court of Ap.
peals in a case involving only 5000
may compel the District govern
ment to repay $14,2O1.26 to owners
of property in the vicinity of Nine
teenth and Lamont Streets, which
was once condemned to provide for
the extension of Lamont Street,
west from Nineteenth.
The District government in Mu-
nicipal Court had interposed a plea
to the statute of limitations against
the suit of Georgiana Thompson,
one of the property owners who
had sued for repayment of $500
for which she had been assessed
for the improvement.
The court has held that the
District did not announce it's inten-
ton of abandoning the project to
extend the street until January 20,
1926, and the limitation did not
run against claims for repaymen:
until January %. 1929. The first
knowledge property owners had of
abandoning of the project was CON
tanned in letter written by the
District Auditor to the. plaintiff on
that date in reply to her claim
for reimbursement of the special
assessment which she had paid.
The court further held that the
District was under the same obi.
cation as a private citizen and
when 1t has collected money for a
contemplated enterprise and fails
to carry out the enterprise the
money must be refunded.

O;K.PLAN To
REWARD i.
HEROES

Efforts of The Washington
Times to secure official recog-
milton annually for ,outstand-
ing acts of heroism performed
by members of the police and
fire departments have the
hearty support of District
officials.
Proctor l.. Dougherty, president
of the Board of District Commits
sioners and general head of the
police and fire departments, Major
Edwin B. Hesse. chief of police.
and Fire Chief George S. Watson
today voiced their approval of the
suggestions made by The Times.
Would Mean Much
Commissioner Doughertv pointed
out that it would mean much more
to the men selected as heroes II
they received an award from the
District government than from
groups Of public spirited citizens.
The Times has suggested that
Congess take such action as may be
necessary to make the presentation
of awards to the heroes an official
act and provide for its continuance
each year. 1t has also been sug-
gested that in addition to medals
and citations the outstanding heroes
be presented with something more
substantial such as a raise in rank
or a bonus.
In the past The Times has under
taken to award the men with hero
medals every year for acts of BRAY
cry which otherwise would bavr
passed unnoticed except for a colo
official commendation on file,
Chief Watson announced that he
is Heartily in favor" of the method
OF awarding heroes suggested ny
The Times. In other cities the
local government has undertaken
to recognize the acts of bravery of
it's protectors.

goers a treat as they battled the

Flying glass from a broken win
dow inflicted severe cuts on both
hands of Fred H. Christianson, of
the Fire Rescue Squad.
The flames were believed to have
originated from overheated wood
work near a furnace.
David p. Silverman, owner of the
shop, declined today to estimate the
damage until his stock, worth tens
of thousands of dollars, had been
thoroughly examined. He revealed
that the loss was covered by insur-
ance.

COED FREED ON
AUTO CHARGE

Miss RhOda X. Hatton, pretty
Maryland University coed, of the
1900 block Of B ST. S. E., today in
r. Hit was acquitted on charges OF
reckless driving, although a Govern
ment witness, the man who was
struck by her car, is now in
hospital with fractures Of both legs
and other injuries.
While Erich Hintze, the injured
man, was cranking his machine on
Twelfth st. n. +. last Saturday

struck by Miss Hatton's car.
Hintze's car was showed forward,
and he was wedged between it and
a truck parked in front of his car
At Casualty Hospital his condl'
tion was described as serious. Al
though opportunity for a contlnu-
ance was offered when it was found
the complainant was in the hospital,
Policeman r. J. Spence advised the
court that the charges could be
heard and the trial proceeded. MISS
Hatton was acquitted on testimony
that she was not speeding and was
driving on the right side of the
street,
The defendant herself said that
she could not see far ahead because
of fog and rain. She said she saw
no light on either HintZe's car or
the truck. She WAS released after
the accident when she had deposited

RAPED
BY UNION

Several objections to the Confirma-
ton of Col. Harrison Brand, jr, for
a second term as Public Utility Com
missioner have been received by the
Senate District Committee.
Senator Capper of Kansas, chair
man, plans to submit Brands reap
pointment to the committee at
meeting within a few days. 1t will
be up to the committee to determine
whether or not public hearings will
be held on Brands nomination.
An objection to the denomination
of Brand was received by the COM
mittee today from Local Union. No.
249. of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, opposing Brand for the rea.
son that he has not had the interest
of the public =. heart.
The resolution, in part, follows:
Mems Local. No. 249. Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, Federal
Employees Union, register it's disap-
proval of the reappointment of Col
onel Brand and use every effort in
it's power to prevent his confirmation
by the Senate, for the reason that
we are of the opinion that such po-
sitions should be held by those who
have the interest of the general pub
lie at heart rather than those of the
public service corporation"
Yesterday the committee received
a resolution from the Randle High
lands Citizens Association asking
that the confirmation of Brand be
postponed until the incoming Admin.
istra ton has had a chance to con-
slider his fitness for office.
Several other protests already
have been received, including one
from the Central Labor Union,

SPROUL WOULD
DRY Up D. c.

Although the Gibson subcommit-
tee has about decided not to rec
commended new dry law for the
District, Representative w. H.
Sproul of Kansas Is now drafting
drastic prohibition enforcement
law for the District modelled after
the law of his own State, it was
learned today.
Sprouts law will include the fol.
lowing provisions;
A mandatory combination sent
ence of 80 days in jail and 800
fine for the first violation of
liuuor laws. with more severe pen
alties for repeated offenses topped
off with a long term in the peni-
tentiary.
An "inquisitorial provision" which
would compel citizens to testify
what they know about the oper-
ations of a bootleGger or speakeasy.
Drastic search and seizure powers
for police, including a strong pad
lock law. 49,.
Punishment for policemen who
fail to report the existence of speak
easies.
The Kansas law also prohibits a
physician prescribing whisky for
patients. but Sproul has not decided
whether he will include this feature
in the proposed local law.
The Gibson subcommittee yester.
day received three recommendations
from Prohibition Commissioner
Doran for drafting a local prohibi.
ton enforcement law which would
be air tight Chairman Gibson.

planning to introduce bill until he

INAUGURAL
PROGRAM
OK D

The inaugural celebration
planned by citizens of Wash
ington has met with the ap-
proval of Mr.. Hoover.
This announcement was made
by Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, chair
man of the citizens committee
planning the celebration, to-
day after a conference with
the President-elect VIII C h
lasted an hour and Is minutes.
The conference took place in Mr..
Hoover's suite in the Mayflower
Hotel. Washington business and
civic leaders waited the outcome
with bated breath, as this was to
be the first chance united Wash.
ington has had to show itself as
host to the country in many years.
No Inaugural Ball
Colonel Grants statement. ad-
dressed to E. F. Colladay, national
committeeman and chairman of the
inaugural reception to governors,
was given to newspaper men inn
mediately after he left Mr.. Hoover's
suite.
1t read:
'In conformity with the Presi-
dent-elect's wishes there will be
no inaugural ball and he will NOT
attend anw other ball on March 4.
No objections was made to
charity ball that evening, such as
was held on the evening of Presi-
dent Coolidges inauguration, but
Mr.. Hoover has made it clear
that he and Mrs. HoHover will
not attend.
There will be a parade with
hte military features strictly limited
to the Army and Navy and Marine
Corps in the immediate vicinity of
Washington and an escort for each
Governor from his State; but an
opportunity will be given in it for
limited delegation of representa-
tive organizations and groups rep
Iesenting the various phases of the
life and work of the people. How
ever, under no circumstances, will
the length of the parade be ex-
tended beyond two hours and the
inaugural committee has assumed
the obligation of limiting the par
ticipants in the parade to what
ever extent is necessary to achieve
this end.
The inaugural committees wish
to provide entertainment outside
the official functions for the gen
eral public that will be visiting
Washington on March 4, was
approved"
Under the terms of the statement,
which says nothing of the aerial
parade. it is believed that every
thing the committee has planned
has been approved. The fact that
the last paragraph of the state
ment says "the committees wish
to provide entertainment for the
general public was approved" is
taken to include the aerial show.

circus was playing the house, the
walls collapsed and the theater
was closed until 1852.
Upon its reopening it was the
scene of the Washington debuts Of
Lola Montez and Charlotte Cush-
man. followed by engagements of
the Ravel Family. Agnes Robertson,
Edwin Booth, and an operate sea-
son with Grist and Mario.

J. r. MCCarl.
In decision based on this rea-

a ruling which will make it impossi-
BILE for the Washington city post
office to get new elevator. unless
Congress comes to the rescue.
The Postoffice Department, in
forwarding the request for this
equipment. pointed out to McCarl
that there existed some doubt as to
what division of the department. y
appropriations would be charged
with the price Of the new elevator.
The departments fiscal experts
were inclined to the opinion that
the item was chargeable to the de.
partment's appropriation for labor.

McCarl dispelled all doubt by an.
nouncing that the labor saving de-
vice appropriation contained no
specific provision for an elevator.
He held that the installation of the
elevator must he considered a pub
li& improvement. as distinct from
a labor.saving device. and suggested
that the department ask Congress
to help out in the predicament.

In Prince Georges,
Judge Says

The gambling hells," road
houses and dance halls on the
fringe Of the District in Prince
Georges county, Maryland, are
again under attack.
This time it is the Chamber OF
Commerce of Hyattsville, which
thinks they are a menace to the
morals Of the county and should
be abolished. 1t has adopted a
resolution asking the state legis-
lature to give the county COM
missioners power to regulate and
license these places.
The roadhouses bring "disrepu-
table persons into the. county"
most of them from Washington,
according to Judge J. H. Shep-
herd, who spoke in favor Of the
resolutions in the Hyattsville
municipal hall last, night. With a
larger police force, Prince Georges
county can be made as clear OF
vice as Montgomery county, Judge
Shepherd declared.
