per, chairman OF the Senate District
Committee. told the Monday Eve
ning club last night in the Y. W.
Z. A. Building.
Senator Capper urged that the
SIS 600 900 surplus to the credit OF
the District in the Federal Treasury
should be used for building new
schools, Fairgrounds and parks.
Capper is now awaiting a letter
from the Board of Education. in
reply to his request for an explana-
ton of why the use of portahles has
not been eliminated, and why the
school authorities have not been able
to keep up to schedule with the five
year school building program.
DIR. Edward J. Schwartz, assis-
tant District health officer. stated
that the proposed sanitarium for tu-
bercular children of the city should
be built outside the confines of the
District. The meeting adopted a
resolution. advocating that all forms
of tuberculosis be reported to the
Health Department.

ing before United States Commits
s1oner Needham C. Turnage. plead.
ing not guilty. Bond of 81 800 was
ordered, but Judson was unable to
furnish 1t and ne was committed to
the District Jail.
Judson was arrested Saturday,
after two weeks Of investigation by
Detective Sergeants Charles E.
Mansfield and f. A. Sanders. of
the headquarters pharmacy squad
Forged Every Week
The detectives unfolded a story
vastly different from the usual run
of stories told by violators of the
narcotics law
According to the detectives, Jud-
son told them he had forged one
prescription a week since June /
for II morphine tablets apiece. The
tablets, the detectives allege, were
for the use of Judson's wife, who,
they said, had been a victim Of the
drugs for five years. They have
two boys, aged and II years. who
live with their parents in Roslyn.
The mother contracted the habit"
detectives said Judson told them,
when she too ka small dose OF the
drug for a headache. They were I'M
able to learn from where she had
originally obtained the dope.
From that time on. Judson has
been forced to supply his wife's
habit. He told the detectives that
at no time had he purchased the
stuff" from a peddler and that he
couldn't get any from anywhere but
drugstores.
Gave Bad Checks
For some time he was able to OBJ
tain prescriptions. he Is said to have
told the detectives. but. finally, that
source of supply was cut off.
Then he needed money to buy
the morphine and he handed out
some bad checks, the detectives
said, which led to his arrests nv
ScdHlS lId Neck ana
B. w. Thompson, of the bad check
squad, who said Judson is now on
one years proba ton on that charge.
Judson was caught when he at
tempted to pass off a prescription
on a downtown druggist. The
physician who was supposed to
have issued the prescription, told
the pharmacist that he had written
no prescriptions for morphine in
any form that dav.
Sanders and Mansfield were nut
on Judson's track and arrested him
two weeks later when he stepped
from bus near the Department
of Commerce Building, Nineteenth
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.

First Precinct for investigation un.
til his arraignment today.

BLEASE ASKS DRASTIC
D. C. VAGRANCY Law
80 DAYS IN JAIL
Or $500 FINE,
PENALTY

A bill to outlaw fortune
tellers, bootleggers, gamblers
and loafers from the District
of Columbia was introduced
IN the Senate today by Sena-
tor Cole Blease of South Caro-
lima.
The measure Is patterned after
the South Carolina vagrancy law
and its need in the District was
suggested to Blease by private
detective. Under the terms of the
bill Migrants would be arraigned
in the District Supreme Court and
on conviction would be fined 800
or sentenced to 30 days in jail.
Il don't see the need for a
longer jail sentence" Blease sail.
i am not man to throw people
into a dungeon and let them STAY
there, but putting these loafers in
Jail for a month would allow the
police to spot them and see that
they do not go back to their old
ways"
Defines Vagrant
The bill defines as Migrants "all
persons in the District of Columbia
wandering from place TO place with
out any known residepce, or residing
in the District, who have no visible
or known means of gaining a fair,
honest and reputable livelihood"
The measure also stigmatizes as
Migrants AL suspicious persons
going about the District swapping
and bartering articles or things with
no established business.
The bin also places in this cate
CORY persons who acquire A liveli-
hood at gambling or horseracinE
without any other visible means of
support; keepers of gambling estab-
llshments. harborers of thieves and
felons, persons who lead idle and
disorderly lives. and others who do
not follC.' any handicraft, trade, Or
profession"
".All Sturdy Beggars"
The measure also brands as vag-
rants persons owning land who do
not cultivate sufficient ground to
support themselves or their family.
Persons who give unlicensed enter-
tainment~ are banned by the bin,
As also are "all fortune trtiers tor
lee or reward" and all sturdy
bes6arS."
Senator Blease was informed that
under the present District law. GER
tain fortune tellers. soothSayers.
and clairvoEants are licensed by the
municipal government,
They won't get any licenses
when this bill becomes law"
Blease announced. These people
prey upon ignors folks ard should
be driven out of the District"
