RUM STOOL PIGEON
CURB YET IS UNUSED
Hart Asserts Police Are
CIogging Office With In
significant Cases.

Although yesterday David A. Hart,
assistant District attorney in charge of
prohibition enforcement at Police Court,
declared that he had asked for a police
curb on the use of informers in gather
ing evidence for arrests in dry law cases,
9 of 10 cases brought into court today
were made through use of the Civilian
undercover' man.
Hart declared that police literally were
clogging his office with small, insignifi-
cant cases, which hampered prosecution
of the larger bootlegger. These cases
made by use of the "stoolpigeon" are
weak and it is doubly hard to get a
jury conviction in such cases, he pointed
out.
The prosecutor said that there are
$50 untried cases in his Office and that
it is "the worst jam that 1 have ex-
perienced in several years" Police
use of the informer has increased great
ly since the coming of the new year,
Hart said. Although he admitted that
he Is in favor of using the informer
in certain instances, he said that the
request for curtailment of their use
would cover a period until he and his
assistant, Julian I. Richards, were able
to dispose of large number of the
pending cases.

BELL REGARDS CITY MANAGERS
JOB AS POST OF TRIBULATIONS
Former Engineer Commits
sioner Back After Short
Tenure in Covington.
IrkSome Task Held More Try
ing Than Executive Posi-
ton in District.

A city managers job is not all that
it's cracked up to be, even in small
city with a $4,000 annual salary for
announcement, according to Col. j.
Franklin Bell. former Engineer Com
missioner of the District, who was re-
Gently ousted as city manager of Gov
ington, KY.
Col. Bell, who is spending a few days
in Washington en- route to his home, in
Washington, Pa, dropped in the District
Building today to call on his former as
Sociates and to tell them of the trials
and tribulationS of city manager.
"A District Commissioner has enough
troubles" he said, but they are trivial
IN comparison with a city managers
Although Col Bells career as city
manager in Covington was compare
lively brief he said he found the work
interesting but trying"-more trying, in
fact, than any of his manifold duties as
Engineer Commissioner of the District.
Tells of Tribulations.
Col. Bell pictured himself in the role
of a city manager much like the "old
woman in a shoe" of nursery book
fame.
You know" he said, "they expected
me to supervise the filling of every hole
in the street They wanted me to be
chief of the fire department and occa-
sionally take ride on the fire appa-
ratus And of course, the city manager
was supposed to listen to every COM
plant. AS a result the good folks OF
Covington were coming to me with
kicks about the water service, the
garbage collection service and what
not :
One of the things that led to Col
Bells short-lived career as city man.
ager, he revealed, was that he did not
formulate a traffic code for the city
expeditiously enough to satisfy his
employers.

TRAFFIC COUNCIL
IS ORGANIZED
Capt. WhitehurSt, as Chair
man, Asks Emo to Aid
in D. c. Survey.

Capt. H C. Whitehurst, chairman OF
the newly created traffic advisory COM
mittee, which will make extensive in
vestigation of the trafflc situation in the
District, today completed the personnel
of the advisory council which will act
in cooperation with his own commit
tee.
William Phelps Emo, noted traffic
authority, was invited to sit in with the
two committees after the survey is COM
pleted and join with them in preparing
the final report.
Invitations were extended by Capt
Whitehurst today to the following 10
men to serve on the council: George
w. Offutt, Selden M. Ely Rudolph Jose
Theodore P. Moves, A. S. E. Scheer, w
H. Lanham, E. D. Merrill, J. H. Hanna
Harry NJ Berel C. H. Frame, Norman
Baxter, Lowell Mellette, Dan O'Connell,
Capt. r.. c. Montgomery and G. w.
Eliot. I'd.
Under the order of procedure for the
investigation, as laid down by the Dis
trict commissioners. the two bodies
would divide into subcommittee, so a:
to go eXhaustlvely into every phase OF
the traffic situation. 1t was expected
that the inquiry would start in very
short while.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-06-06

declared. "Covington had no traffic
regulations. I drafted code and had
it in force BY the end of January, but
I learned later that I was expected
to have the regulations drafted in three
hours"
Col. Bell took the position as city
manager of Covington under most
unusual gentlemen's agreement. The
four city commissioners agreed to pay
his salary of $4,000 a year so long as
he served their personal wishes, but
subject to immediate dismissal should
his actions not meet with the ideas OF
any one of the commissioners.
Believes Progress Made.
Out in Covington, it was said, Col
Bell was the victim of secret political
organization known as THE Red
Elephants" But Col. Bell would not
attribute it entirely to politics. Never
thelesS, there was a stable uprising of
the citizens against his custer, and he
left the job confident that considerable
progress had been made during his
short tenure.
Col. Bell has received two attractive
offers since he left Covington, and an
nounced that he would decide which
one to accept after comforting with his
family. He declined TO indicate, how
ever, whether either of the jobs would
bring him back to Washington.

BALTIMORE FUGITIVE
CAPTURED IN CHICAGO
William Niemoth Stops Here on
Way to Face Charge of Partici-
pating in $47. 500 Robbery.

Innumerable travellers have found
the view of the Washington Monument
from a train nearing the Capital q
thrilling experience, but to William
Niemoth. elusive Chicago gangster, who
spent 40 minutes at Union Station this
morning, the sight was fragment in q
very bad dream.
Boxed in by three alert detectives,
who half expected reprisals when they
started from Chicago. the 37-year-old
fugitive from the Baltimore police lolled
in Stuffy Pullman compartment dur
ing the brief pause in a journey that
is expected to end in jail. In the last
four years Niemoth has been arrested
six times, but only now were the Balti-
more authorities able to return him to
face charges of participating in the
$47,500 Somehow pay roll hold-up, in
which man was killed.
The group arrived here without an
untoward incident marring the long
trip. Niemoth looked out the train
window complacently at several news
paper photographers who strolled along
side the train. The prisoner could not
be approached for the reason that after
four years the police were taking no
chances.

Grant Is Sending WTth to
Obtain All Available
Data on Subject.
STUDY OF FINANCES
is MAIN AIM OF TRIP
Work Is Preparatory to Carrying
Out Recreational Features Of
per-Cramton Act.

Preparatory to carrying out the recre-
ational features of the Capper- Cramton
park development act, Lieut.. Col. u. S.
Grant, Sd, executive officer of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, proposes to conduct survey
into how other cities, comparable in
size to Washington, are handling their
Fairgrounds and park developments.
Col. Grant is particularly anxious to
insure that the Districts program will
be in keeping with that of comparable
communities, particularly from a finan-
cial standpoint.
Accordingly, Col. Grant is sending
Conrad L. Wirth, landscape architect of
the commission, to various cities, prac-
tically all east of the Mississippi River,
to study the park and playground
financial set-up in each.
Col. Grant explained today that his
Office has studied published data from
various cities, but desires to undertake
the personal survey to secure the latest
available data and information, obtain
able only by talking with interested
civic officials. The commission has
drawn up a tentative program under
the Capper- Cramton measure, with
sireS that Mr.. Wirth check these figures
and the program against the practical
experience of other cities.
Under the measure it is tentatively
proposed to expend some 100000 for
recreation centers alone. For the Fort
drive that will link up the historic Civil
War forts nearby it is suggested that
some $3,500,000 be spent.
The proposed program calls for the
purchase of the land needed in the
District of Columbia within about five
years, but Col. Grant foresees a devei-
opment program extending for about
25 years. A certain amount for devel-
opment will be included in the budget
estimates annually.
Col. Grant expects that Mr. Wirth's
survey will take the whole Summer.
