Jack Sansbury, ForestviIIe,
Aided by z Washington
Men, Proves Hero

just as they were about to
make good their escape with
booty they had gathered in a
bold daylight robbery of the
DR.. John E. Sansbury home
near Forestville, Md, three al
legged robbers were captured
by Jack Sansbury, 20, shortly
before noon today.
Mrs. Sansbury, widow, was
alone in the house while the
men were ransacking it. She
notified her son, who traced the
men aGross field, picking up a
gun they had dropped in their
flight ito their automobile, parked
on the Marlboro Pike.
The men had piled into the
machine and had just started
the motor when Jack thrust the
gun through a window and or
dered them 10 get out.
His orders were obeyed when
the men saw that their captor
had received reinforcementS, as
r. F. Bradley, realtor, of 1928
Pennsylvania Ave. S. E., and
Thomas B.. Smoot, of 1410 Bowen
Rd. S. E.. drove up and offered
to render whatever assistance
might be needed.
The robbers refused to give
their names. They were taken
to Magistrate Thomas Griffith's
office at Forestville and held for
Sheriff w. Curtis Hopkins, who
took them to Upper Marlboro
where charges of robbery are to
be placed against them.
All the loot, it is said. was re-
covered. This included two guns,
a revolver and some money.

.D.C.WOULD HELP
. DAY WORKERS

Although too late to benefit the
municipal per diem employees for
the Christmas holiday, the Dis
trict Commissioners are drafting
a bill to send to Congress aiming
at terminating discrimination
against these employees when a
holiday, other than a legal holi-
day, is declared.
The .3,247 per diem employees
face the loss of a days pay or a
days leave as the result of Presi-
dent Hoover's action in declaring
Saturday a half holiday for Fed
eral workers. If Congress had
passed a bill declaring the holiday.
the per diem workers would not
suffer the loss. In cases where
a holiday is declared by Executive
order, the per diem workers lose
either a days pay or a days leave,
as the order only applies to an
nual employees.

NEW JOB "

Appointment of valuation ex-
pert to aid Assistant Corporation
Counsel william A. Roberts in
utilities matters was approved to-
day by the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Although the identity of the ex-
pert to fill the post was not dis
closed, it was learned that Roland
j. Lehman, well-known valuation
expert, is being considered for the
position.
The commissions action was
taken on recommendation of Cor
poration Counsel William W.
Bride. The expenses attending
the appointment will be paid out
of commission funds, and the
first appointment will be. for a
probationary period Of five
months.
Mr.. Bride stated that the ex-
pert will assist Mr.. Roberts in the
valuations of the two street Car
companies, the Washington and
Georgetown Gas Light companies
and the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company.

Who Can Help?

What interests me in this let
ter is the burning sense of in
justice behind it and the quite
obvious feeling, on the writer's
part, that she can do nothing
about it. She has no pull, no
friends in the local Democratic
Club, no nodding acquaintance
with the wife of a district
politician. And, of course, no
other Job for her daughter. Her
accusation may 'be totally un.
founded; her fear and resent
ment are none the less real.
And one soul being exactly equal
to another soul (since all souls
are infinite) her grief is equal
to the grief of, philosophers
weeping over the way Of the
world. Like theirs, it appears
entirely beyond consolation.

The little ones are always the

Maybe a little bit more. They
know the pinch of poverty-some

that maybe. after all. there is q
Santa Claus who will take care of

Their hope never dies. Some OF
them were disappointed last year
But, they tell themselves:

week-old baby killed last night

might be.
The mother threatened to dis
pose of the infant after leaving

The woman. shabbily dressed,
knocked on the door of the league
last night and said to Mrs. Jessie
Height, colored resident manager:
81 want you to put my kitten
out Of misery. It's been sick two
or three days

asked her name and address. The
woman would not give her name,
but said she was from AnacoStta.
Sees Baby's Feet
Mrs. Height picked up the
bundle and placed it in a basket
used in chloroforming animals
but observed two little feet kick.
ing loose from a blue apron. Mrs.
Height stared and said:
my God! You are trying to
make me kill a baby"
The woman then replied:
s"WeH, it would be better that
way. You kill dogs and cats,
so you ought to put this child
out of its misery.
The manager then hurried TO
another room to telephone an Of
ficial of the league and then re-
ported the case to, police.
Gives Mother so Cents
In an effort to keep the wo-
man until the arrival Of police,
Mrs. Height engaged in a con-
versation with her. She told her

her so cents and wrapped the
infant in a blanket. Then the
mother became uneasy and in
sisted on leaving. Her parting
words were:
"If you won't take the baby,
I'm going to. kill it. 1t will be
better off that way"
Then the woman left and
walked up Maryland Avenue tow
ard Seventh Street Southwest.
Mrs. Height watched her from
window until she was lost to view.
Mrs. Height said the woman
was about feet inches tall, and
weighed approximately 1870 pounds.
She wore knitted hat, a long
brown coat, and her shoes were
black. Her clothes in general were
shabby.

Do Not Write!

The mania for writing letters,
which overcomeS all men who
are heading for suits of breach
of promise, has never been ex-
planned. 1t is matched by the
persistence of criminals in keep
ing written records, the excep-
tion being a few politicians who
keep their accounts in their
heads and their moneys in little
tin boxes. Even business men
continually jot down notes
which later appear in court.
There is, for instance, the card
index of prospects, revealed by
the investigation Of certain 80
ciety" magazines. One reads:
Blank, wife in distress, suing
Blank for nonSupport of child;
he supporting other girls:
