JUDGE SELLERS MAKES
NON-SUPP0RT RULING
Orders New Information Be Filed
Annually to Prolong Juris-
diction.

In order to prolong jurisdiction over
non-support cases, Judge Kathryn Sell
lers of the Juvenile Court ruled yester-
day that new information papers be
filed annually in each of these cases.
The point arose when Attorneys H.
M. and S. F. Hawkins disputed the
right of the court to extend its juris-
diction over Frederick Russell Price,
charged with non-support, for a period
greater than one year.
1t was pointed out the District
Code authorizes the Juvenile Court to
place non-support defendant on pro-
baton, under the jurisdiction of the
court, as an alternative to a work house
sentence.
Price was discharged by the court,
but Judge Sellers said that new infor-
nation papers would be filed each year
in such cases hereafter when the pro-
bationer has failed to make full pro-
vision for his family within the one
year period.

Her brother, who also was yelling, was

succeeded only in burning her hands.
Selling a blanket, which happened to
be hanging nearby. Mrs. Thompson
wrapped it around the girl, smothering
the flames.
Meanwhile, neighbor also had heard
the youngsters screams, and she volun-
teered to take Lois Mae to Providence

Staying VERDICT
PUZZLES JUSTICES
Three Men Acquitted Sep
arateIy, but Convicted Joint
Iy, in York Death.

May three men be acquitted indi-
vidually of charge of rst-degree MUIR
der and then be held collectively guilty
under an omnibus count?
The question is causing concern
among the five justices of the District
Court of Appeals. when called on to
decide appeals of the three men, John
Borum, John Logan and Milton Guy,
all colored who were convicted of kill
ing Lamar Watson York, a prohibition
agent in April, 1890. The case was
argued last April, and when the justices
had begun to consider the matter. the
question arose. Counsel had not raised
the point in their briefs, nor had men,
ton Of it been made in the arguments.
All Sentenced to Die.
The indictment was in four counts,
one placing the pistol in the hands of
Borum, another placing it in the hands
of Logan, and the third in the hands
of Guy. The fourth count charged all
three men with committing the murder.
The jury reported the men not guilty
the fourth count. All were sentenced
to die.
The justices have decided to reasSign
the case for argument in october, and
have notified counsel that they may file
briefs OH the one point as to the sutti-
cheney of the verdict to support the
death sentence.
Execution Set for September.
The order of the appellate court
reads:
1T appearing from the record in this
case that the defendants and each of
them were severally acquitted of the
charge of murder under the first three
counts of the indictment, and found
guilty under the fourth count. a ques-
ton arises as to whether or not the ver-
dict is so inconsistent as to be INSULT
cient to support the judgment thereon,
and as this question was not noticed in
the briefs, or argued at the hearing, it
is ordered that the cause be set down
for reargument on the first day of the
next October term of this court. on that
point alone. and that counsel be per-
mitted to file such additional briefs in
the cause as they may be advised"
The three men are under sentence to
be executed September 2. but another
pcstponement will be necessary. They
were convicted in July 1880.

Although the lot could accommodate
1000 cars, Mr.. Dezendorf had but two

the second.
He investigated and found he was

Suspect
Claims Immunity;
But Nobody Knows
Pulls Out Identification
Card, Drives OFF,
Arrests Lost.

Possibly an alleged speeder paced by
a policeman in Potomac Park last mid
night was no diplomat, but he seems to
have established the fact of his i'm
munity from arrest.
So reported Officer T. Fogarty of the
United States Park Force to his SUI
periors today. Fogarty was able to
identify the motorist only as a "Mr.
Sabit"
The officer said he noticed two cars
skirting the Polo Field at an excessive
rate of speed" Fogarty followed the
length of the field on his motor cycle,
establishing the speed of the automo-
bileS, he said, at 38 miles an hour.
Ordered to the curb, the lead car
pulled over and the other automobile
proceeded some so yards before hating.
The officer dismounted to walk over
to the latter machine when 1t started
off. He followed and stopped it again
across the inlet bridge.
Here the motorist, Fogarty reported,
flashed an identification card purport-
ing to come from the Turkish embassy.
The officer placed the card on a mud
guard and was bending over to write
out his report when the motorist took
the card, saying Fogarty had seen
enough.
Fogarty explained he understood
diplomats were not subject to our laws
and that all he could do about it was
make a report to his superiors. He
said the motorist drove off before he
could learn more of the card than the
name "Sabit."
Then Fogarty went back to where he
had told the other machine to wait,
but it had turned about and disap-
peared into the night.
The diplomatic list shows that Mr..
Nuri Sabit is first secretary of the
Turkish embassy and makes his home
at the Hay-Adams House.
Mr.. Sabit was absent from the en-
bassy Offices at the Hay-Adams House
and could not be reached for state
ment today.
