official duties-the supervision of police
arrangements for the arrival of Dino
Grandi, Italian foreign minister, and
his party.
The induction ceremonies, held in the
board room of the District Building at

brevity. In less than five minutes Gen.
GlaSsford had taken the oath of Office
and was posing for newspaper photog-
raphers with the five-pointed shield of
the major and superintendent of police
pinned on the lapel of his coat.
Confers With Crosby.
A reception, also brief, followed the
inaugural exercises. and then Gen
Glassford went into a protracted con-
ference with Maj. Gen. Herbert B.
Crosby, Commissioner in charge of
police. and Inspector E. w. Brown, who
had been acting superintendent since
the retirement November l Of Maj.
Henry G. Pratt. Just before this con-
ference, however, Inspector Brown
turned over to the new superintendent
for his approval, details Of police plans
for escorting and guarding the Italian
minister and his party while in Wash

Problems confronting Gen. Glassford

INDICTED
TORTURE OF GIRL
CHARGED BY u. S.
Father and Stepmother of
12-Year-0Id Rescued From
Closet Named by Jury.

The grand jury returned an indict-
ment today against Mrs Elsie M. and
Harry N. Riley, stepmother and father
of 12-year-old Edith Riley, charging
that they 'feloniously tortured, cruelty
beat, abused and otherwise wilfully
maltreated" the child, who was rescued
10 days ago from closet in the Riley
home, ITO Rhode Island avenue.
Under the indictment. reported to
Justice James M. Proctor in District
Supreme Court, the Government has an
opportunity to introduce evidence on
any alleged beating within a three-year
period prior to November 6, the day
police found Edith in the closet.
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley, who police
charge, incarcerated the little girl for
four years, are now free on $4,000 bond
each. They will be arraigned Friday
on the indictment.
Wording of Indictment.
The indictment, signed by District
Attorney Leo A. Rover. follows:
THE grand Jurors of the United
States of America, in and flor the Dis
trict of Columbia aforesaid, upon their
oath. do present:
THAT one Elsie M. Riley, and one
Harry N. Riley, each late of the District
of Columbia aforesaid, on, to wit, the
9th day of November, 1881, and at the
District of Columbia aforesaid, with
force and arms, then and there did
wilfully, unlawfully and feloniously tor
ture, cruelty beat abuse and otherwise
wilfully matreat one, Edith E. Riley, she,
the said Edith E. Riley, being then and
there a child under the age of 10 years.
to wit, of the age of IL years; against
the form of the statute in such case
made and provided, and against the
peace and government of the said
United States"
TwO-year Term Maximum.
Conviction on the charges carries a
maximum prison sentence of two years
or $3.50 fine, or both. Should the Gov
eminent prove Edith mentally deficient
at the time of her alleged imprison-
ment, as claimed by the stepmother, a
more severe sentence could be imposed
in case of conviction.
A report on the child's condition,
which may have an important bearing
on the outcome of the trial, is now
being drafted by psychiatrists and
psychologists at Gallinger Hospital,
where Edith was taken after her re-
moval from the closet.
This report, eXp6cted to be made
public today or tomorrow, will set forth,
as nearly as is scientifically possible the
condition of the child when she en-
tered the hospital, any progress shown
to date and the possibility of her ever
becoming a normal child.
Mr.. and Mrs. Riley will be arraigned
next Friday to plead to the indictment.

PUBLICITY TO END
DEPRESSION URGED
Advertisers Asked to Join
With Publishers in Ma
ti0naI Drive.

Creation of wartime" organization
modifying the Nations advertising and
publishing forces to kill the fear pSy-
chology among the unemployed, and re-
store normal mass buying, was proposed
to the Association of National Adver-
Users today by Carl Byoir, Havana pub
Usher and wartime associate chairman
OF the Government Committee on Pub
lie Information. Once the will to buy
is created by united effort, Mr.. Byoir
asserted, the depression is over.
Approved by Committee.
The Byoir plan was approved two
weeks ago by the Executive Committee
OF the association, which opened its
tWenty-second annual meeting today at
the Wardman Park Hotel. It's approval
was not secured until the plan had been
submitted to leading bankers and econ
omlsts, who had approved it as eco
nomically sound
Addressing the convention, Mr.. Byoir
declared fear alone prevents restoration
OF normal spending habits by EMPLOYED
citizens. This fear psychology, he said
can be killed, and the business situa-
ton and employment conditions def
nitely improved by national co-opera-
tive effort by business men, who win
recognize the fact that the country has
within its own borders all the necessary
elements for its own prosperity
Under the Byoir plan, the forces of
the Nation would be modified into IA
divisions, the restoration of public con-
fldence being the main objective. These
divisions would include sections in the
fields Of advertising, film, public speak
ers, four-minute men, church work,
radio broadcasting, work among the for
eign born. local organizations, women's
work, still pictures, labor. statistics,
news and industrial organization.
Received Enthusiastically.
Mr.. Byoir's plan was enthusiastically
received by the leaders of the country's
largest corporations who are members
OF the association and are attending
the three-day convention
In response to inquiries. the sponsor
Of the plan declared practical steps are
now being taken to put it into forma-
ton. At this time, however. he ex-
planned, he could not tell whether spon-
SorShip by the Government would be
the aim or whether 1t would be launched
solely on the direction of business and
industry.
