SEWERS CONNECTIONS
WITH PITTS IN DISTRICT JAIL
Action Becomes Known When
Defense Counsel Files Ap-
peal for Former Chief.
Former Smith Co. Official
Engages James C. Wilkes
as New Attorney.

G. Ebert Anadale, one of three for
mer F. H. Smith Co. officials recently
convicted in District Supreme Court on
conspiracy -embezzlement charges. has
severed his connections with his former
chief, O. Bryan Pitts, and the counsel
who defended him during the trial. IL
was learned today.
Anadale's action in engaging James C.
wilkes as his counsel, replacing Frank
@. Raichle and the firm of Lambert
d Yeatman, brought forth consider
able speculation as to the course he in
tends to follow in the future.
He Is now in the District Jail. with
Pitts, pending appeal of the conviction.
John H. Edwards, jr., found guilty with
tnem' is serving three-year sentence.
Edwards Deserts Associates.
Edwards deserted his two former as
sociates Immediately after the verdict
OF guilty was returned against them.
He elected to forego an appeal and be-
gan serving his sentence at once. It
was understood that he made certain
atfldav1ts which may be used against
Pitts in the trial of embezzlement
charges now pending against him,
In many respects Anadale's action
closely parallels that of Edwards.
The fact that he had dispensed with
the services of the attorneys who
formerly represented him became known
today when they filed bill of excep-
tons and perfected an appeal bond in
behalf of Pitts alone.
Questioned on this point. wilton J..
Lambert, who acted as chief defense
counsel during the trial, said Anadale
was no longer represented by his firm.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-08

He said certain differences, real or
fancied, had arisen between Pitts and
Anadale, and that all concerned had
agreed 1t would be more satisfactory for
the latter to retain separate counsel.
Questioned by Agents.
Mr.. Lambert said he had been in
formed by Pitts that Anadale frequently
left the jail on missions, the nature of
which were not known to him. In other
quarters It was learned that he was
being questioned by Department of
Justice men on these occasions.
The bill of exceptions filed with the
court today in behalf of Pitts contains
nearly 700 printed pages, covering about
rs exceptions to rulings by Justice Will
liam Hitz on legal questions involved in
the trial. Notice of filing was served
this morning on Nugent Dodds, chief
prosecutor IN the case.
Rudolph Yeatman of defense counsel
said an assignment of errors would be
for filing within the next few
days. When this matter is disposed of
a date will be set for hearing the ap-
peal motions in behalf of Pitts.

tended that to expect children who have
no money themselves to give to any,
thing was both unreasonable and I'M
fair. He declared that the city Is al
ready so well organized that every fam
lily in the District will be reached with
out attacking them through their chill
dren in school.
Book Fund to Be Asked.
Following its action at the same meet
ing yesterday, the Board of Education
will ask the District Commissioners to
set up a plan by which trust fund for
the replacement of lost or damaged text
books may be made economically under
the provisions of the new free text book
law which holds parents responsible for
the volumes their children use. DR..
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent, pro-
posed the trust fund as means of buy
ing replacement volumes at the same
wholesale rates at which the District
purchases its texts. When a book is
lost, he explained, a parent would pay
to the authorities the wholesale price
of the book and that amount would be
held in the trust fund" until the regu-
lar years purchases are made. He ex-
planned, however, that the District au-
ditor disapproved of the establishment
of such a fund.
Commissioners the board will cite the
auditors disapproval, and will in turn
ask the Commissioners to set up the
proper machinery for the handling Of
the funds.
When the school authorities go before
the House Subcommittee on Appropria-
lions in the hearings on the school esti-
mates for 1882 they will defend the
$4,000 item for an experiment with the
transportation for children living long
distances from established schools with
a statement approved by the board yes
terday. They will advise the committee
that in making the experiment they will
"a determine whether community has
a stable population by which its real
school needs may be scaled, (2) whether
the distance from a school presents real
difficulties, 90 whether the number of
children of school age in community
warrant the expense of bus service, a.
whether there are existing commercial
transportation facilities, go whether
roads and streets to be traversed by
children are dangerous. to pedestrians
either by their narrowneSs or unpaved
condition, go whether the roads are
dangerously muddy and CD how the
cost of bus transportation compares with
the cost Of establishment of small per-
manent school houses.
The board received for consideration
yesterday a proposal to expand the
Americanization School program to in
clude the education of native-born Hit
crates. The request was presented by
Richard S. Harvey president of the
Washington Education Union, No. 1913,
an organization of school principals and
college professors. In urging the ex-
pansion of the program Mr. Harvey
cited the Nationwide efforts to reduce
illiteracy. The proposal was referred to
the superintendent for study.

by Photographer, to Be

Harry F. Kennedy, local attorney and
judge Of the Alexandria Police Court,
pleaded not guilty in Police Court today
to charge of aSsaulting Gus C. Chinn,
photographer for The Star, and will be
tried by jury January %.
Kennedy requested that his case be
continued for two weeks because of
hearings which he has to conduct in

leased Kennedy ON his personal bond to

ing assaulted Chinn when the latter was

st. Johns Episcopal Church. Chinn

Court assistant had refused to press a

tographer for the Herald. He pleaded

DRUGGIST HELD UP
BY THREE BANDITS
$7S Taken by Trio as Clerk and
Customer Are Warned
to Keep Quiet.

For the second time within several
months, Oscar H. Basseches, proprietor
of drug store at 1916 New Hampshire
avenue, was held up and robbed last
night. Three bandits, all Of whom
were armed, escaped with $78 after
warning Basseches, his clerk and a Gus
toner not to make an outcry.
The presence of the clerk-Philip
Goldberg, 3211 Thirteenth street-and
the customer-W. M. Masters, 1925 New
Hampshire avenue-caused BaSSeches to
doubt that the robbers were in earnest
when they ordered him to put up his
hands.
A glance at their revolvers convinced
Basseches, however, and he made no
attempt to prevent the men from loot
ing the cash register.
After leaving the store, the bandits
entered a parked automobile and drove
away. Basseches, who lives at 5000
Ninth street, gave police a description
of them.

HOWELL TO DEFEND
SEARCH CLAUSE
Author Of D. C. Dry Measure Holds
Feature Necessary to
Enforcement.

When the District prohibition en-
forcement bill comes before the SEN
ate in the near future, Senator Howell,
Republican Of Nebraska, will defend the
search-warrant feature as essential to
adequate enforcement of the dry laws
here.
The portion OF the measure which
is expected to lead to most of the debate
is the section permitting issuance of
warrants TO search dwellings upon in
formation of the presence of a still or
that liquor "is unlawfully delivered
thereto for purpose of sale, or Is I'M
lawfully removed therefrom"
Under the existing law evidence of
sale on the premises Is required to OBJ
tain search warrant for a dwelling.
Attorney General Mitchell objected
to the search warrant section. Before
the bill was reported from committee
early this year Senator Howell agreed
to modify the search warrant section
by adding the words for purpose of
sale" to the clause relating to liquor
delivered TO dwellings.
Opponents Of the bill may seek to
change 1t further when it comes up for
consideration on the floor.
Senator How II believes enforcement
officers should be able to obtain search
warrants for dwellings u they know

Sylvania avenue and the alley between
John Marshall place and Third street.
This Is the location for-the first Sec

Another of the properties is the
Christ Child Society headquarters, 324

WARDMAN CASE
UNDER AMUSEMENT
Judge WoolIS of Alexandria
Gives No Indication of
Decision Date.

Following completion of arguments in
the suit of minority stockholders of
the Wardman Mortgage & Discount
Corporation before Judge william p
Woolls in Corporation Court at Alex
andria yesterday afternoon, Judge
Woolls announced that he would take
the case under advisement. No indica-
ton was given as to when a decision
would be given in the suit, which con-
sumed IL court days and ran through
more than 1000 sheets Of record.
Following presentation of the plain
tiffs' case by their attorneys in the
two hours allotted them. Judge Daniel
Thew Wright, defense attorney, and his
associate, Meredith M. Daubin, closed
the arguments by outlining the posi-
ton Of each corporation, the neceS-
sity for the transfer and exchange of
stock and the motives and good faith
of Harry Wardman, Thomas p. Bones
and James D. Hobbs.
Judge Wright told the court that
none of the three men ever voted them
selves any salaries or received dividends
on common stock holdings, but instead
that ,Wardman advanced his personal
funds to pay the dividends of the cor
poration. Intention of fraud and mis-
management must be shown to warrant
the appointment of a receiver, Judge
Wright said, but the actions of the
three men would indicate that they had
done the exact opposite.
Daubin told of the refinancing Of the
Wardman interests in 1928 and 1890,
organization of the discount corporation
and explained the acquisition of its
notes and stock holdings in other COM
panies. He argued that the appoint
ment of a receiver would have far
reaching effect and would cast re-
Election on all connected with the firm,
whereby it is being sought by one-f1fth
Of the stockholders who were satisfied
so long as they received IL per cent
and are not willing to accept conditions
which are general.
