said that bloodhoundS used after Bur-
hackers body was discovered passed
right by Sours without noticing him.
Fifteen rebuttal witnesses were called
for the commonwealth. Their testi
mony was directed mainly toward break
ing down of the alibi set up for Sours
and to show that he had opportunity
to commit the murder. Testimony also
was given as to statements alleged to
have been made by Sours about having
a still stolen by Burracker and other
remarks indicating that he was engaged
in an illegal liquor business.
Several members of the Burracker
family said that Sours horses were in

RICHIE APPROVES
POLICE REPEAL ACT
Prince Georges County Force to Be
Reorganized as Separate
Unit June /.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The star.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, April THE bill
repeating the 1927 law creating the
Prince Georges County police force was
signed yesterday by Gov. Albert C.
Richie.
AS the bill is an emergency measure.
it goes into effect Immediately, and
from now until the 1st of June the
county will operate under the old con-
stable system, without any police force.
After June l the bill creating an l1-man
force, headed by a chief of police, and
separated from the sheriff's ONCE, will
go into effect.
The measure repeating the 1927 law
was introduced under a suspension of
the rules 10 days ago by the Democratic
members of the county delegation.
Had the measure not been signed by
the Governor yesterday, it might have
been commended that the county COM
missioners would be required to appoint
new members of the police force today,
as appointments were made from the
first Monday in April under the 1927
act.
The emergency repeater removes any
legal question as to the need of making
such appointments today.

The amendment exempted certain

AID FOR VETERANS
CHILDREN SOUGHT
National Legion Commander
0'NeiI Speaks at
Alexandria.
BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT,

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 7.-Legis-
lation in the next Congress should be
sought to relieve the distress of de-
pendent children of veterans who lie
helpless in hospitals and the widows
and orphans of veterans, Ralph T.
O'Neil, national commander of the
American Legion, said in an address
here last night before Alexandria Post,
No. "a, at a banquet held at the Vir-
ginia Public Service CO. Auditorium.
Comdr O'Neil, who paid his only
official visit to Virginia by visiting the
local post. said that another urgent duty
of the organization is to see that i'm
mediate construction of hospitals, under
the recent legislation passed by Con-
gress, is carried out. This legislation.
he said, made provision for sufficient
beds to take care of all veterans who
will be in need of disqualification through
1885.
Veterans Were in Need:
Regarding the recent adjusted service
certificate loans, the national COM
mander said that definite information
gathered by the, Legion shows that those
who have asked for loans were veterans
greatly in need, as anticipated by the
Legion. and that most of the loans were
made for those who already had bor-
roWed on their certificates.
The American Legion resents the
statement that has been made that the
loars are in any way responsible for
deficit in Government finances, he de-
clared. Loans have no relation what
ever with an impending deficit, he said.
The veterans reserve fund, which
amounts TO nearly $500, 000.0 900 and is
available to be used for this purpose
under the new law, Is capital asset,
Mr.. O'Neil stated.
Will Help Business.
Comdr. ONeil further asserted that
he thinks there is no question that the
increased purchasing power of the new
loan value will help stimulate business
and increase employment
The national commander deplored
the failure of Congress to enact the
Navy building program. declaring that
the national defense situation of the
United States is becoming serious.
Our national defense act has been
whitfield down until we have nothing
but a skeleton remaining" he said
Our naval construction program is
evidently being forgotten"
Judge Howard w. Smith, member of
Congress from this district, welcomed
the Legion commander.
Comdr. Sidney B. We'll of the local
post told how the membership OF the
Alexandria Post had been increased.
Roby c. Thompson, department COM
mander of Virginia, told of the history
of the formation of the Legion.
