LONGER DAY ASKED
TO ASSIST JOBLESS
Plan Proposed to Have Both Work
ers and Employers Share
in Relief.

A tentative plan calling upon work.
ers to aid the unemployment situation
In Washington by sacrificing two hours
each day to the jobless, and asking
contractors to extend their working day
to nine hours, so as to give three
hours work to the jobless, was advanced
today by the Subcommittee on Public
Works of the District Employment
Committee.
The subcommittee, at a meeting in
the board rooms of the Washington
Chamber Of Commerce, advocated the
plan, which would call for sacrifices
by contractors and workers alike.
John 8. Colpoys, chairman Of the
subcommittee, predicted that adoption
Of the plan would give work to 20 per
cent more people than are now en-
ployed in the branches Of the building
ard construction and other manual
leb7r;ng industries.
TIE measure would be a temporary
enc, the committee said, designed to re-
neve the Unemployment problem for the
Winter months. The plan will b.
proposed to the various organized labor
groups and contractors also will bt
Ssked to consider 1t. The subcommit.
tee will meet again in the near future
and will invite representatives Of the
affected groups.
Representatives of local trade anC
labor organizations, and an oflcial o.
the Supervising Architects once Of the
Treasury Department were present al
the session. E. c. Graham, chairman
Of the Employment Committee, wa:
present.
Others at the meeting included Charles
Young, secretary Of the washington
Building Trades Council, and e. j. Muir
ply, president of the Buy-in- Washington
Council. George J. Adams, jr, Secre
tary Of the Employment Committee

AID IN 1892 FETE
Tenders Havenner Facilities
at His Disposal in Map
ping Program.

DR.. George G. Havenner, newly elect
ed executive vice chairman of the Dis
trict of Columbia George Washington
Bicentennial Commission, conferred to-
day with Representative Sol Bloom Of
New York, associate director of the

fecting the Districts participation in

ing of the two since Havenner took Of
flee November 2.
Mr.. Bloom offered the local COM
mission all facilities at its disposal in
the preparation of the District pro-
gram next year.
In this connection, Mr.. Bloom
pointed out that a corps of historians
in the employ of the national commits
sion Is at the disposal Of the District
group at all times to assemble data
linking George Washington with this
city, and to provide historical informa-
ton for use i'm the preparation of
pageants and plays.
Or. Havenner, referring to a resolu-
ton adopted Wednesday by the Asso-
citation of Oldest Inhabitants of the
District of Columbia, in which 1t recon-
mended that a historical authority be
employed by the District group, declared
after the meeting with Bloom that to
do this would only duplicate Work De"
ing done by the Federal group"
It was pointed out by Mr.. Bloom
that an authentic book on District Of
Columbia history Is in process Of publ
cation by H. P. Caemmerer, secretary

PLANS FOR LIBRARY
INCREASE HEARD.
BoWerman Discusses Pro-
posed Enlargement With
Trade Board Group.

Plans for the enlargement Of the
Central Public Library Building and
establishment of additional branch
libraries were discussed by DR.. George
F. Bowerman, librarian, at a meeting
of the Public Library Committee Of the
Washington Board Of Trade yesterday.
Outlining needs of the library system
in the future, DR.. Bowerman described
the present crowded condition of the
Central Library Building and expressed
hope for approval by Congress Of an
item to enlarge this building.
Recent appropriations made for en-
largement of various facilities of the
library system have lent confidence that
additional appropriations will be made
at ensuing sessions of Congress.
Stephen E. Kramer, chairman Of the
Library Committee, reported.
DR.. Bowerman recently reported thas
but one-third Of the population OF
Washington now has fully adequate
library service Convenient to the homes
and offices Of all residents" Of the Dis
trict, as contemplated by the library
law.
DR.. Bowerman pointed to larger facili-
ties now in prospect, including the new
Northeast Branch, to be completed early
next year; acquisition of the site for
a new branch In the Georgetown Reser-
voir tract and the use being made of
the old Metropolitan Memorial Metho-
dist Church Building in the site Of
the new Municipal Center.
Mr.. Kramer announced plans for tax
ing the Trade Body Committee in the
near future on a tour of inspection tof
all the branch libraries now in opera
ton.

FUEL HUCKSTER BAN
MAY BE RESCINDED
D. c. Heads Expected to Act as
Result Of Public Hearing
Held Yesterday.

The District Commissioners are ex-
pected to rescind their recent regula-
ton barring fuel hucksters from the
streets as result of public hear
ing held yesterday by Corporation
Counsel William w. Bride, representing
the city heads.
The Commissioners had adopted the
regulation without any public hear
ing following a petition filed by gaso-
line filling station owners. Later the
fuel hucksters, who have been selling
fuel from tank trucks, filed an objec-
ton and the Commissioners ordered the
regulation suspended until further
notice.
The regulation had been adopted
largely on the theory the fuel trucks
are a fire hazard and that such sales
on the street interfere with the peace
comfort, safety and good order" Of the
public.
To support this, Chief Engineer
George s. Watson of the Fire Depart
ment was called to the stand, but
under questioning from lawyers for the
fuel huckSters he testified that dur
ing the II years in which fuel
hucksters have been in business here
it has not resulted in a single fire.
The gasoline and oil huckster also
received heavy blow in Police Court
yesterday, when Judge Gus A. Schuldt
In a lengthy opinion, ruled that legally
the big oil trucks could only park
in one place long enough to serve q
customer.
In handing down the decision. Judge
Schuldt found Richard E. Mack, who
operates several trucks, guilty of vio-
lating police regulation forbiddina
the stopping Of trucks for any length
Of time other than necessary to serve
a customer. For years the trucks have
been stopping outside Of the congested
district in many parts Of the District
for as long as 80 minutes before NOV
ing to another place.

TAXI DRIVER FIGHTS
TWO ARMED BANDITS
Lights Of Approaching Car Scare
Two Attempting Robbery
Near Hospital.

Disregarding the menace Of q revolv-
er, Paul e. PAUL, 1920 Ontario road, q
taxicab driver, successfully resisted the
efforts Of two passengers in his cab to
rob him near the Naval Hospital last
night.
As Paul was struggling with one Of
the hold-up men, who had jammed a
gun against his side. the lights Of an
approaching automobile alarmed the
pair and caused them to fee.
PAUL. was driving near Fourteenth
and L streets, when two young men
hailed his cab and directed him to drive
them to New York avenue and Twenty
third street. When he arrived there,
PAUL said, one Of the men pressed a re-
volver against him and demanded his
money.
Instead Of complying, he seized the
arm Of the man holding the gun and
began to struggle with him. Just then
another car approached and the would
be bandits fed, scaling the wall Of the
hospital grounds. PAUL gave police de-
scriptions Of both men.

SUICIDE ATTEMPT
IN RIVER PROBED
Woman, Found Drenched in
Park, Says Man Pulled
Her Out and Left.

Alleged suicide attempt by a woman
who first identified herself as Mrs.
Mary Clark, %, of Glendale, Md, was
being investigated today by police.
The woman who said she was a
widow, was found unconscious on the
river front, near the Ericsson Memorial,
about O'Clock last night, by William
Brueggman, 5000 Wisconsin avenue.
Brueggman was driving through West
Potomac Park, he said, when he dis
covered the woman huddled on the
grass, few feet from the road. He
notified a guard at the Lincoln Memo
rial, who telephoned park police head
quarters.
Park Policeman c. H. Baesgen said
the woman was still unconscious when
he arrived and her clothes were wet.
Aided by Brueggman and B. H. Bla-
lock, 730 Thirteenth street. another
motorist. the officer placed the woman
in his automobile and took her to
Emergency Hospital.
When she regained consciousness
about an hour later, she said, she had
come here from her home in Glendale
a short time before, with the intention
CT throwing herself in the Potomac.
Her suicide attempt failed, however,
she related, because a man who was
walking nearby saw her plunge into the
river and pulled her out. He left with
out making his identity known, she
said, and was soon afterward that
she lost consciousness:
Questioned further, the woman said
her husband was dead and that she had
been living with her father. She beg
ged Baesgen not to notify her parent,
however, on the ground he was serious
ly Ill. She gave his name as H. c. But
Ter.
From Emergency the woman was TAX
en- to the House Of Detention and
thence to Gallinger Hospital, where she
was held for mental observation.
Earlier in the evening. however, a
woman had telephoned the third pre-
cinct police station and reported that
Mrs. Irene Pennell had disappeared
from her apartment, at 2l3l o street
after writing a note saying she intend
ed to kill herself A lookout was
broadcast to all precincts.
The woman picked up near the river

of Mrs. Pennell and a check-up re-
vealed, police said, that the name Mrs

HAVENNER BACKED
BY EDWIN S. HEGE
Letter to Maj. Emig Gives
Support to Incumbent in
Federation Race.

Edwin S. Hege, one Of the leaders of
the Federation of Citizens Associations.
came out today as supporter Of DR..
George c. Havenner for president at the
elections tomorrow in letter to Mai
Clayton E. Emig of the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association. Maj. Emig had
circulated an open letter to the dele
gates urging support Of William NICK.
Clayton and defeat of DR.. Havenner.
ITO my mind" wrote Mr.. Hege. ut
ought to be perfectly feasible to praise
Mr.. Clayton as a candidate without
seeming to attack DR.. Havenner or any
other candidate for president of the Or
gan1zation mentioned. Apparently you
proceeded. in part on the honest theory
that the doctor sought to perpetuate
himself in Office, while the fact Is that
until month ago the doctor was averse
to another term.
Crisis Was Feared.
"As election date approached and a
dearth of candidates continued, many
delegates expressed themselves as feel
ing the organization was nearing a
crisis. Then Dr. Havenner was chosen
executive officer of the local Bicenten-
NAL Commission and was persuaded to
stand for another term.
Ihere was probably some reason Tor
such dearth of aspirants, an often
heard and perhaps true explanation Is,
That DR.. Havenner. because of his de-
Votlon and effective efforts in behalf
OF the federation, has in degree
spoiled the position by setting stand
aros as to quantity and quality Of serv-
lce-both in municipal and legislative
clrcies-few successors can reasonably
hope to equal
Cites Airport Incident.
Possibly, as you suggest, DR.. Haven
ner did take part in defeating several
legislative proposals for a municipality
owned airport. But has not private
capital met this need, thus relieving
district taxpayers of the burden OF
constructing such project at an esti-
mated cost Of about 100000 to raise
winch sum over 10-year period would
require an annual increase of about
cents In the tax rate?
Or. Havenner'S association with the
traoe bodies may be more gratifying
Weli take pride in the affiliation OF the
doctor, Mr.. Clayton and other dele
gates with the trade bodies, especially
as same might result in harmonizine
variations in viewpoint, thing thai
members Of Congress have long urgec
upon the District residents.
MY relations with Mr. Clayton have
always been Of very happy nature
Enough have not signed the petition
10 winch you refer, stand committed
10 Dr. HaVenner so long as his name
remains before the body as that of
candidate for president"

POLICE HEADS STUDY
SHAKE-UP IN STAFF
Administrative Force and Detective
Bureau Changes Are to Be
Effected.

Preliminary plans for the contem-
plated reorganization in the adninistra-
tive staff Of the Police Department,
growing out Of the recent retirement Of
Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent,
and Inspector William s. Shelby, assist
ant superintendent, were discussed at
a conference between high ranking po-
lice officials and Inspector E. w. Brown,
acting superintendent.
The proposed readjustments were not
disclosed, but indications are that the
Detective Bureau will be affected as
well as the administrative staff. There
are indications, too, that the position
of executive officer, left vacant by the
retirement Of Inspector Shelby, will not
be filled, but that duties performed by
him will be absorbed by other In
SpectorS. The vacant inSpectorship,
which carries with it the rank Of as
sistant superintendent, is to be filled,
however.
None Of the contemplated changes or
the appointment Of the new inspector Is
to be made, 1t was said, until after Brig.
Gen. Peldam D. Glassford, new super
intendent, takes ONCE November Is.
Maj. Gen. Herbert B. Crosby, Commits
sioner. in charge Of the Police Depart
ment, has repeatedly declared he wanted
Gen. Glassford to select his own admin
istrative staff, and for that reason the
reorganization plans are to be held in
allegiance.
