The last two drinks proved too
much for Leslie Stokes, colored
last night on Seventh Street
Northwest.
Arraigned before Judge Gus A,
Schuldt, in Police Court today
on an intoxic: on charge, Stokes
frankly admitted he was drunk
when arrested by Policeman G. v
Moore, of the Traffic Bureau. He
said:
81 just had two to many, your

Judge Schuldt asked:
"And how many does that
make?"
''Well, I can usually stand 10
drinks of corn all right, but
last night I took IL, and those
last two drinks just did for me-"
Judge Schuldt took his personal

POLICE CUSTER
HITS FAMILY

Ten children and a wife to
be fed and no job has been the
situation confronting William T.
Burroughs, of the First Precinct,
since his suspension in the police
third-degree quiz.
Burroughs is still out of a job
When his pay was suspended on
August Is he had just 40 cents
in his bankroll. Relatives have
been supplying the children with
food, but the rent has not been
paid for two months, the agent
is threatening to put the family
out and the relatives are begin
ming to find the daily grocery bill
too much of tax on their fl
nances.
Appeal to Chest
A brother-in-law, Philip K.
Clark, also a policeman attached
to the First precinct, applied to
the Community Chest for tenn
porary help but was told the
family would first have to sell
the little bits of furniture they
have collected before they could
obtain relief, friends said. The
Police Association cannot help,
as Burroughs resigned from the
organization several months ago.
Burroughs claims that he, per-
sonally, was not concerned in the
alleged beating of Joseph Harker,
for which he was suspended. He
arrested Harker but was not In
the station house at the time the
man was supposed to have been
mauled by the police, he says.
Anyway he feels:
'Tt wasn't the kids fault.
And they are the ones who are
having to pay the price,"
Family Keeps Faith
Mrs. Burroughs and the "kids'
refuse to believe that Daddy
could be guilty of the brutality
Of which he is charged. They
say:
"He is the kindest daddy in
the world. And simply grand
to the children"
Managers of the Earle and
Palace Theaters have agreed to
help the family from the proceeds
of the unemployed benefit shows
scheduled for November 18. But
that is three weeks away and in
the meantime 10 children want
food and the real estate agent
the rent.

50 PLANS GET
ATTENTION Of
DEMOCRATS
Concrete Agenda to Be Reply
To Charge That Sniping at
Hoover Is Principal Activity
By WILLIAM s. NEAL,
Copyright, 1881, by International
News Servlce)

Democratic leaders in Con
gress are planning to evolve a
definite legislative program be.
fore the session opens which is
calculated to end charges that
they have devoted themselves to
"sniping" President Hoover, 1t
was learned today.
The program will serve not
only as a basis for action during
the long session of Congress but
may become q part of the Demo
cratic platform in the Presi
Dental campaign of 1882.
Program Is Demanded
Recent events, including Presi
dent Hoover'S bipartisan confer
ence at the White House, have
resulted in a widespread de
mand from the rank and file OF
the Democrats for concrete
action.
Leaders of the party, it was
explained by one high in the
Democratic councils, also realize
they may be the majority party
in the House, and may in many
instances, assume responsibility
for legislation in the Senate.
A close division exists in both
branches. The Republicans hold
a lead of one in the Senate on
organization. In the House the
Democrats now have a numerical
majority, and it is possible they
may elect a speaker.
Plan. To Return Early
Many of the Democratic Con
greSSiOnaI leaders, 1t was learned
are planning to return to Wash
ingtOn by November Is, three
weeks before the session opens.
During this period they may
frame their policy upon Presi,
dent Hoover's banking reccmmen.

Since the conference many

Churchman Writes is Charges
Against Himself and Dares
Senator to Publish Them

Bishop James Cannon, jr., Of
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, yesterday listed 16 charges
involving himself and dared Sen
ator Carter Glass of Virginia to
publish them in his newspapers,
the Lynchburg Advance and the
Lynchburg News.
Quotes Senator Glass
The clergyman's statement be
gan by quoting a recent state
ment by Senator Glass that:
eff it were cOnceivably pos
Sible, in the face Of recent dis
closures, for anybody to libel
Bishop Cannon, would not
know how to go about it,"
Then Bishop Cannon listed the
charges, most of which have been
made or limited, including the al
legation Bishop Cannon had
knowingly traded with a bucket
shop, boarded flour during the
war, fled to Europe to escape a
Nye committee investigation, and
violated the corrupt practices act.
Sees Chance to Collect
Bishop Cannon added the
TJhchburg papers owned Dy Sen
ator Glass were properties of con-
siderable value, and that damages
in libel suit probably could be
collected. He challenged the Sen
etor to assume responsibility for
printing the charges.

Operations.
By a stan Correspondent Of The star.


UPPER MARLBORO, Nd, August %.
CONSTRUCTION of five buildings at the
University of Maryland constitutes one
of the outstanding building operations
under way in Prince Georges County
this Summer.
Some of the buildings being erected,
which include woman's dormit Dry, a
horticultural building, women's field
house, mems field house and an eddi-
ton to the engineering building, will be
finished in time for the opening of
school, it is expected, while others will
be ready later in the Fall.
There is also considerable construc-
ton work In communities near the
university. Three new gasoline stations
have been built and opened at College
Park recently, while several houses are
now in course of construction at College
Heights. A large and attractively de-
signed inn has just been completed on
the Baltimore Boulevard at College
Park
Two service stations are now being
erected within a block of each other
on Rhode Island avenue in the Cedar
Croft section of Brentwood. One is be-
ing built by w. F. Burke, former Wash
ington policeman.
Although building activities have been
brisk in the suburban area, slacken-
ing has been noted in the rural sec
lions of the county. The permits issued
recently have been chiefly for barns to
house the bumper crop Of tobacco.
