Robbery is Found.
BEDDELL Is IN CUSTODY
AFTER NATION-WI HUNT
Detective Will Go to Gotham to
Question Him in Assault and
Cunningham Death.

Identification of one of the three
suspects in the Staying of Jack Cum
bingham and in the assault on FL Sal
vadorean Minister DR.. Don Carlos Leiva
last May is imminent, police announced
with the discovery today of a new
witness.
The witness, Grayson McDaniels, a
cab driver of 702 E street northeast
will be brought to police headquarters
today, where he will attempt to identify
one Of the suspects through photo
graphs in the police Photographic
gallery.
McDaniels. police say, was hired near
the Ell Salvadorean legation on the
night of May 10, when Dr. Leiva was
fired upon during a liquor robbery at
the legation.
The man who rode in McDaniels' cab
was bleeding from several wounds on
the face, and showed signs of having
been in a scuffie. He was driven to an
address of one of the suspects in the
case, police said. This man, detectives
believe, was one of the three men who
figured in the assault on DR.. Leiva.

The two cases were reopened yester-
day with the arrest in New York OF
William Beddell. a suspect in both the
assault and Staying, bringing to an end

New York authorities on a forgery
charge, will be applied for at Police
Court here today.
Detective Sergt. Larry O'Dea will go

ton Beddell
During the early part Of the inveSti-
CATION last May, police definitely cor
rected the Staying of Jack Cunningham,
police informer with the assault and
robbery at the Ell Salvadoran legation.
Link Established by Fowler.
The connection was established by
Lieut. John w Fowler. police balliStics
expert. who determined the gun which
fired the bullets that killed Cunningham
was the same which fired the shots
aimed at DR.. Leiva.
Dr. Leiva suffered a fractured skull
during a fight with liquor thieves in
the hall of the legation. He was struck
on the head with gun.
Cunningham was shot to death IN
the rear of his home, in the 1400 block
of I street, six days after the assault
on Dr. Leiva.

first precinct with gun supposedly
used in shooting ARRAY several days

PRAISES ABSENCE
OF HIGHWAY SIGNS
Representative Bloom Cites
Mount Vernon Route Beauty
in ReiChelderfer Letter.

The absence Of billboards and other
olsfguring signs along the Mount Yer
non Memorial Highway was noted by
Sol Bloom. associate director of the
United States George Washington BIZ
centennial Commission. today in a let
ter about the local billboard situation
addressed to DR.. Luther H Reichel-
oerfer, chairman of the Board of Dis
trict Commissioners Mr. Bloom ex-
pressed the hope that the local bill
board problem would be settled before
the great crowds OF visitors begin to
arrive for the Bicentennial celebra
ton.
His letter to the Commissioner reads
as follows:
Impressed BY Sign Absence.
"A few days ago I had the great
pleasure and honor of inspecting the
Mount Vernon Memorial Highway from
Mount Vernon to the Highway Bridge.
was much impressed with the beauty
OF the boulevard and of the grounds
along both sides of the highway. on
account of the absence of billboards
and other disfiguring signs.
The thought occurred to me as !
rode over that beautiful highway that
I would take up with you the question
OF billboards in the District of Co.
lumbia and also along the approaches
to the National Capital
From the reports that have come
to the United States George Washing
ton Bicentennial Commission from all
parts of the country and also from
abroad we are led to believe that dur
ing the year 1882 this city will be the
mecca for visitors. 1t will really be a
great shame, after the tremendous
amount of thought and care that has
been given to this subject by the Gov
eminent and the people Of the Dis
trict to see that the National Capital
and its environs were beautified espe-
cially for the Bicentennial year. if bill
board problems could not be remedied
IN time to meet the situation next year
Cannot See Objections.
Personally, I do not see why the
billboard advertising concerns should
object to giving to the people of this
country this one spot on the face of the
United States that should be kept clear
of Objectionable signs and to seeing to
it that the beauty of this District and
its approaches should not be marred in
any way by such disfiguring billboards
There is little time left, doctor. to
remedy this evil, and 1 am writing to
you to inquire whether this commits
sion can in any way lend its services
to the formulation of some plan by
which satisfactory agreement can be
made. I know that you and the other
Commissioners are sympathetic toward
this movement. so that am appealing
to you direct. Let us make the Ma
tional Capital unique in its beauty, and
nothing could contribute more to that
aim than to eliminate the advertising
signs within the District and upon the
highways entering it."
