RESCUED BY YACHTSMAN
Cupboard Motor Boat Upsets When
Balky Motor Starts at
Full Speed.

Before 1t had scarcely started, Sum-
day afternoon pleasure cruise on the
Potomac River ended in tragedy yester-
day when a small cupboard motor boat
capSized, throwing its four occupants
into the water and drowning two Of
them.
James Frank Meegan, 81, OF sos
Colorado avenue, and Anthony Miller,
%, of 2503 Fourteenth street, sank to
their deaths as their two companions,
BroaduS Taylor Langyher, 26, of 1920
Fourth street northeast, and Adelaide
Eunice Moler, 20, of 1880 Massachu-
sets avenue, looked on from the up
turned bottom of the boat.
The four had gone to dock near
Washington Airport, where a boat be-
longing to relatives of Langyher was
tied up.
Loses Control Of Craft.
Miller, after working for some time
over balky motor, finally got the craft
underway. But instead Of starting of
normally, the boat shot ahead at full
speed down Little River.
Roaring into the Potomac, the craft
swerved sharply and overturned Miller,
Langyher and Miss Moler came up al
most instantly beside the capsized boat.
Each grabbed hold of the craft
Meegan. who was thrown several feet
away, could not swim and Miller, no
ticing his friend struggling, went to his
aid, although he, too, could not swim.
Just as Miller reached Meegan's side,
the pair sank beneath the surface and
drowned
Rescued by Yachtman.
Langyher and Miss Moler the two re-
naming on the motor boat, were picked
up shortly afterward by John p. White
Of 1852 Oates street northeast, a pass
ing yachtsman, who was attracted to
the scene by Policeman Fred j. Boil
due, on duty on the Highway Bridge.
White, realizing he could do nothing
alone toward saving the two men, took
Miss Moler and Langyher to shore,
where they were rushed to Emergency
Hospital and treated for shock and i'm
merSion.
Members Of the harbor precinct re-
covered the bodies of Miller and Nee
gan about 1890 o'clock last night after
dragging the mouth Of Little River all
evening.

"ST0LEN FUR RACKET"
REVEALED BY BUREAU
Better Business Group Says Truck
Drivers Are Victimizing
Washingtonians.

The Better Business Bureau today
issued a warning against the so-called
stolen fur racket" which has been
renewed in Washington during the past
week.
An inferior grade of fur merchandise
is being sold from trucks which bear
out-of-town license plates, the bureau
declares, the inference being given that
the goods are stolen or struggled and
that a rare opportunity to pick up q
value at bargain price is presented.
The drivers Of the trucks, of which
several have been noted in Washington
during the past few days, accost mo-
florists on the street In an apparently
surreptitious manner. They invite the
prospect to look at a good fur, cheap"
and the patron, the Better Business
Bureau declares, pays a high price for
fur which Is not genuine.
The stolen goods inference is given
70 promote sales, the bureau states.

WAVING OF TRIAL
At PLACE OF CRIME
UPHELD BY COURT
D. c. Appeals Bench Renders
Decision in Hagner Mail
Fraud Case.
PAIR FAILED TO PLEAD
LACK OF JURISDICTION
Submission to Indictment Here Is
Held Waiver of Privilege
Given in Constitution.

ihe District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Justice D. Lawrence Groner.
held today that a person charged with
felony may waive his constitutional
right to be tried in the place where the
crime was committed if he pleads to an
indictment against him in another
jurisdiction.
The opinion followed by analogy the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the Patton case in which it
was held that right of trial by Jury
might be waived. Justice Groner went a
step farther, however, holding that If an
accused can waive jury trial. he can
also waive his constitutional right to be
tried In the place where the crime was
committed. The decision establishes q
precedent in the District.
Ruling in Hagner Case.
The ruling was given in the case of
Herman o. Hagner and his wife. %alia
c. Hagner Of Scranton, Pa, who were
convicted in the District Supreme Court
on charge of using the mails to de-
fraud. The indictment alleged mailing
in Scranton, but did not allege the de-
livery thereof in the District of Co.
lumbia.
The two were convicted and aY
motion IN arrest of judgment of i've
years in the penitentiary and a fine
OF $1,000, each raised the question that
the District Supreme Court was with
out jurisdiction since no crime was
charged in this District.
Justice Groner suggested that while
the defendants by seaSonable plea to
the jurisdiction might have avoided
trial un6er this particular indictment,
their submission to the court was a
waiver Of the privilege accorded them
by article 8, section 2, of the Consti-
tuition and may not for the first time
after trial and conviction object to
that courts jurisdiction.
Groner's Opinion.
"Since the Supreme Court has ruled
that a trial by jury may be waived"
Justice Groner said, lit would, we think
be difficult to sustain the view that he
may not also in the same manner waive
the provision in the same article with
relation to the place of trial.
Logically, it seems to us to follow
that both ar. in the same category.
Whatever sanctity growing out of estab-
lished custom obtains with relation to
the trial Of a defendant In the vicinage
OF the crime obtains with equal force
with relation to the right of trial by
jury, for 1t was declared as a funda-
mental principle of the common law in
Magma Charta that a person charged
with crime should not be convicted ex-
cept by the unanimous verdict of q
jury, but this rule of the common law
Is expressly rejected in the Patton
case"
