REPORT
FACES DELAY

Although this is the final date
set by the District courts for the
filing of the schedules Of assets
and liabilities of the bankrupt
Swartzell, Rheem and Hensey
Company, there is a possibility
that further time may be re-
quired.
Attorney B. U. Graham, of the
firm Tebriner & Graham, coun-
sci for the defunct concern, ex-
pressed doubt that the schedules
would be completed. If the lists
are filed it will be late today.
The schedules, hoped by many
creditors of the company to dis
close that the firm is stronger
than at first believed, are be-
ing eagerly awaited.
A meeting of the creditors will
be called by Fred j. Eden, referee
in bankruptcy, following the fill
ing of the required schedules.
Department of Justice agents
investigating the company's trans
actions, have not submitted their
findings to the Grand Jury.

TAGLESS AUTOS
BR|NGPUZZLE

The question of whether or not
it is violation of the traffic
regulations to park an automobile
on the streets without license tags
was raised in Police Court today
when Myer Herson, 800 F. st.
N. E., was arraigned before Judge
Ralph E. Given.
Mr.. Herson, who operated a
used car garage at First and H
Streets Northeast, was arrested
yesterday by Policeman v, v.
Vaughan, of the Traffic Bureau.
1t was charged that he had two
automobiles parked in front of his
garage without license tags.
Judge Given declined to render
a decision in the case until he
has studied the law on the ques-
ton. He pointed out that, while
the traffic regulations forbid driv-
ing an automobile without proper
tags, there is no provision about
parked machines. He said that in
his opinion the question in the
case is whether or not Mr.. Her
son, in parking the cars on the
street, is guilty of treSpassing on
public property or using the
streets for storage purposes.
The case was continued until
Saturday.
