Army Takes Charge of Sol
der Who "Confessed" Kill
ing Girl and Recanted.
FURTHER QUESTIONING
is NOT INTENDED
Several Weeks Incarceration Is
Marked by Indifference
as to Outcome.

Fully convinced tina! he had nothing
to do with the murder of Mary Baker
on April IL, Commonwealth Attorney
William C. Cloth today released Private
Harold L. Brewster from the Arlington
County jail, where he has been held for
the past several weeks on a murder
charge.
Brewster's release followed a confer
ence between the commemorative at
torney and Capt. A. r. Boiling, the SOL
dier's commanding officer. Brewster was
turned over to Capt. Boiling, who imme-
diately left with him for the barracks
at Eighteenth and C streets.
Consulted by Captain.
Earlier in the day Cloth had stated
that he was through with the soldier
and was willing to release him il this
was satisfactory to the military author
tiles and the Washington homicide
squad, but that he did not expect to
turn Brewster over to Capt Boiling un-
til he had consulted with the Wash
ington police bureau. Boiling arrived
at Arlington courthouse in response to
a request from Cloth and it was then
decided that it would be just as well
to effect release this morning.
Brewster was arrested as the result
OF an alleged "con fesSion" to the muir
der, which he later repudiated. Further
investigation of the case has led author
tiles to believe that his original story
was untrue and that he did not have
actual knowledge of the murder.
Release Unconditional.
According to Cloth the release was
unconditional insofar as the Arlington
County authorities are concerned, there
being no intention of questioning him
further with respect to the crime.
Since his incarceration Brewster has
shown little concern as to the outcome
Of his case.
Capt. Boiling announced the Army's
disposition of Brewster would be de-
cided on soon. He added he had COM
municated with the Sd Corps Area
headquarters of the Army in Baltimore
and expected to receive Anal orders In
the case soon.

NEWARK PITCHER
BOUGHT BY MATS
Fischer, Left-Hander, Will
Report Tonight-Thomas
Is involved in Deal.
BY JOHN b. KELLER,
STAFF Correspondent OF The Star

DETROIT, July 14.-Charles Fischer,
a left-handed pitcher, was bought from
the Newark Club of the International
League today by the Washington Base
Ball Club and is to join his new outfit
here tonight. The Nationals gave New
ark for the pitcher Myles Thomas, right
handed hurler procured by waiver claim
from the Yankees last year, and a size
able amount of cash.
President Clark Grifith of the Ma
tionals, in announcing the deal, would
not divulge the sum paid with Thomas
for the left-hander, but intimated it
was around $25 900. 1t is known the
Giants had an option on Fischer for
$4,000 early this season, but relin-
quiShed It.
Fischer, said to be about Is years
old, nearly feet in height and weigh
ing around ITS pounds, was in his
fourth season with Newark. Prior to
entering the International League he
served an apprenticeship in the New
York-Pennsylvania circuit. His home
is in Medina, N Y Fischer was mar
ried only last Winter.
When Walter Johnson, manager of
the Nationals, piloted the Newark club
in 1928 he thought highly of Fischer
and last season the left-hander was
one of the sensations of the 1nterna-
tional League.
He won 18 games and lost Is for a
club that failed to finish as we'll as
500 in 1929. He started well this sea-
son, then slumped and lost a number
of games.
President Grifith as well as Johnson
has seen Fischer in action and was i'm
pressed by the left-hander's great
speed.
According to Grifith, the pitcher
needs to develop a better curve and
change of pace, but right now has as
fine fast ball as could be desired
Griffith thinks Fischer an excellent
prospect and that the pitcher. with the
schooling he will get under Johnson
will quickly develop into a valuable
addition to the Washington staff.

The Seven-Year Itch

The seyen-year itch is neither an itch, nor does it last seven years.
 It is skin disease caused by the female hmite, a minute insect belonging to the spider group. This tiny parasite burrows its way into the skin to deposit it's eggs.
 It is the borrowing of the insect, as well as the development Sof the eggs into mites, which produces the characteristic symptom of the dis ease-the itch"
 Contrary to the common impress sion, scabies, as this disease is known, is not a disease of unclean persons. All classes are equally liable to 1t.
 The itch-mite's only preference is for thin skin.
 The itch mite usually invades skin between the fingers, skin about the wrists, the arm-pits and the groin.
 In early stages of the disease, the presence and the movement of the mite may be recognized by the gray-back elevated lines in the skin which mark the path burrowed by the mite. The itch produced by the mite is intense. It usually is wofse at night, or when the body is warm ed up.
 The disease is highly communi- cable, and is prone to affect several members of the family at the same time.
 Treatment of the disease in its early stages is usually by means of sulphur ointment, but during the period of the treatment care must be taken to destroy all othef para sites which may be in the clothing, bedding or other common articles with which the sufferer has come in contact.
 Because the itch of scabies is so intense, the sufferer is prone to scratch the invaded area and pus infections complicate the condition. In such instances the patient may require other forms of treatment for his skin.

The Door That Was Closed
By Thornton W. Burgess
A mystery that doth perplex In like degree may often vex.
 Mother West Wind.

1mpy the black Chipmunk paused at the entrance to his own home. He dreaded going down there; he dreaded what he might find inside. Had he not seen Shadow the Wea- sel sitting right there by that door way and licking his lips? That Shadow had been inside there was- mt the least doubt. So Impy dear ed to go inside.
 I'll never go in here again after
 this time,' said Impy to himself "Ill dig myself a new home. That's what I'll do-Tll dig myself a new home. This one wouldn't be safe and certainly 1 could never be hap py here without Frisky."
 Impy hesitated for a few minutes longer and then he went in. His heart beat very fast as he hurried down the long hall straight to the bedroom of which he had been so proud. His nose told him that Sha- dow the Weasel had been there be- fore him. Straight to the bedroom 1mpy hurried. It was there he ex- pected to find all that was left of little Mrs. Impy. The bedroom was empty. That is, it was empty of everything but the bed Yes, sir, the bed was all Impy could find in that bedroom. Impy didn't know wheth- CT to feel sad or glad. Could it be that Shadow had eaten her and laf Jd p' IrfI that
 Impy turned and hurried along the hall to the first storeroom. He stopped to look in there. Pretty lit tie Mrs. Impy wasn't there. Impy hurried along 10 the second store room. The result was just the same. Little Mrs. Impy wasn't there. Impy paused before continuing his search. Somehow, he was beginning to get a wee bit of hope. He had been so sure of what he was going 10 find and now he hadn't found it. Was this a good sign or a bad sign Impy was inclined 10 think it was a good sign; at least h. wanted to think it was q good sign Still if little Mrs. Impy were not there, where could she be?
 Perhaps she wasn't at hom, when Shaved arrived thought Impy. Perhaps she was outside somewhere and saw him. Oh, l do hope she did! I'll go out and look for her"
 He started 10 scampcr along the hall toward the entrance. Then he thought of the third sloreroom-tnc new one that Mrs. Impy had had built. He would look in there be fore going out. So ImpY checked himself and went back to visit the third storeroom. Apparently, there wasn't any third storeroom. There were only two open doorways and those led to the storerOoms he had already visited. Impy was puzzled. Yes, sir, he was puzzled. He stop ped to scratch his nose. Somehow, scratching his nose helped him to think better, But all the nose . scratching and all the thinking in
