He owns q diminutive theater with

BOY, IS, is CAPTURED
IN PURSE -SNATCHING
Warns Other Colored Youths as
Police Approach-Couple Thwart
Pair in Auto.

A 15-year-old colored boy, believed to
be a member of a gang of purse snatch
ers, was arrested yesterday after he
jumped on the running board Of an
automobile which had stopped for a
traffic light at Twelfth street and New
York avenue, grabbed two purses and
ran.
He was later cornered in an alley
by Traffic Officer S. r. Collins, who
had been summoned by Miss Alma
Southan and Miss Regina A. Crawford,
both of 1888 @ street, whose pocket
books had been Snatched.
The boy, who said he was Naymon
James, 1911 New York avenue, was
charged with petty larceny. After tell
ing police other boys were involved in
similar practices, he took the officers
to Seventh and M streets, where several
colored youths were congregated. Upon
approaching the group, however, he
shouted, Run, here come the police!"
and the boys escaped.
Later two colored men made an un-
successful attempt to snatch the
pocketbook of Mrs. F. E. Lucas, Shore
ham Hotel, who, with her husband, was
walking along Cleveland avenue near
Thirty second street. The couple said
they were walking along the avenue
when a touring car bearing New York
licenses drove alongside them and two
men Jumped out and reached for Mrs.
Lucas purse. When they ran up the
steps of a house nearby, the colored
men drove away.

Moviegoers Asked
To Aid Fund for
Hospital Talkies
ST., 900 to ST., 500 Needed
to Provide Modern Ma
chine for Incurables.

A renewed appeal was made today
for every Washington theatergoer to
donate the price of one admission
toward the purchase of talking picture
equipment for the entertainment of in
mates of the Home for Incurables Wis
conSin avenue and Tilden street.
AS a result Of the first appeal some
time ago donations totaling $40 have
been received, but this falls far short
of the lowest possible price for sound
picture equipment. When the neceS-
sary funds have been received bids will
be asked of three companies to supply
the machine, but it Is not believed the
lowest bid will be less than 81 900 to
1900.
The board of directors of the home
was represented today as feeling that it
would purchase the equipment itself, If
possible, but survey of its finances has
disclosed an inability to take on further
obligations. Instead, it believes resi-
dents of Washington will be willing to
donate enough, in large and small con-
tributionS, to make possible the pur-
chase Of the equipment.
To the 125 persons confined to the
home, ranging in age from IL to 80
years, tWo-thirds of whom are bed
ridden, motion pictures are the greatest
pleasures in their drab lives. Until re-
Gently they have been entertained by
silent pictures, but with the advent of
the "talkies" production was ceased on
the old-style Aims and none can be
bought now

OPENING H|NGESO ON
RULING Of M'CARL
Legality of Turning Policing
of Highway to Grant Now
Is Questioned.
PUBLIC USE BEFORE
FEB. | HELD LIKELY
Planting in Parkways Is Scarcely
Begun-1,o 900 Acres Must Be
Guarded by Patrols.

The exact date of the opening of
tne Mount Vernon Memorial Highway
to public travel hinges on a decision
OF Controller General j. R. McCarl, re-
Iatlng to the legality of turning the
pollclng of the highway over to Lieut..
Col. U: S. Grant, Sd, director of pub
NC buildings and public parks, at this
tlme, while construction work is still
IN progress. The general accounting
once Is now wrestling with this problem.
Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the
Bureau of Public Roads, Department of
agriculture, which is supervising con-
struction of the highway, said today
tnat al present it appears as if the
mount Vernon Memorial Highway will
pc ot1c1ally opened to public travel
before George Washingtons birthday
and possibly before February l. Ger
talniy' he said, it will be open early
IN the new year.
Work for Year Yet.
I'VE expect to be doing some vork
on the highway for at least vearH
said Mr.. Macdonald today. "There will
be settlement on the uncertain ground
as the road was built over a bed of
muck" "a
The Bureau of Public Roads is loath
TO organize its own police force to take
over traffic control of the highway. its
chlef asserted, particularly as Col.
Grant Is now organizing his force for
this work. This organization has now
progressed to such a point that Capt.
II. =. Montgomery, U. S. A., superin-
tendent of the United States Park Po-
nee, has been interviewing recruits who
WILL I'LL vacancies when experienced Of
f1cers are sent out to patrol the Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway. The ONCE
OF Public Buildings and Public Parks
Is ready to take over policing of the
highway almost Immediately.
Practically all of the planting work
remains to be done along the highway,
Mr.. Macdonald explained, and the Bu-
reau OF Public Roads may have to turn
over its jurisdiction piecemeal to Col.
Grants office. The plan-unless the
controller general interposes an OBJ
jection-is to turn over, first, traffic
control and policing. In addition to
the highway proper, Mr.. Macdonald
explained, there are more than 1000
acres of parkway to be poiced and in
fact new park has been added to the
environs of the National Capital. ~
Asked Traffic Regulations.
Mr.. Macdonald revealed that he has
requested the Office, of Public Buildings
and Public Parks to take over the or
ganization of traffic control and formu-
late regulations for the use of the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway.
Just as soon as we can get the legal
questions settled and finish the phys
ical work of hauling across the high
way, it can be open," said Mr.. MacDon-
aid, in explaining that there is consid@
erable grading work remaining to be
done.
The actual dedicatory exercises for
the opening of the Mount Vernon Me-
mortal Highway will likely be held in
the Spring. Mr.. Macdonald has re-
quested that these exercises await the
coming out of the leaves to improve
the present bare appearance of the
highway.
