the all.important down-payment.
The guide being prepared by

loan associations, title companies,
public utilities and material and

How the financial operations Of

sand within 20 years was told
late yesterday in the court OF
Judge Michael Feinberg.
: Or. Buhlig was questioned IN

It was in 1912, the doctor said
that he first purchased Balm

From that time on, he testified
he never invested anything ex

SHOPPING
SEASON OPENS

Today marks the real opening
Of the 1881 Christmas shopping
season despite the fact that all
Washington stores are closed for
the Thanksgiving holiday.
The season. so far as many
Of the merchants were concerned,
began last Saturday. Through
out the week others have been
unveiling their special Christmas
window decorations and display
Ing their holiday gift assortments.
The unseas sonably warm
weather and the imminence of
Thanksgiving, however, did not
do much to promote early holiday
buying.
This condition is now past
The weather man dialed off the
heat and turned on the chilly
blasts which, merchants believe,
win remove any lingering doubts
that Christmas is just around
that corner, and will stimulate
buying.
Inauguration of the early Christ
mas shopping season this year
is in response to a growing de-
n1and that buyers be given oppor-
tunity to make their selections in
advance of the usual Christmas
rush.

street with his camera, it suddenly
occurred to him to take a photo
graph of the people watching the
parade from the roof of the build
ing he worked in.
Taking his position on the roof
of an adjoining building he took
several pictures. In each one
three clocks were shown, one in
front of a jewelry store on the
north side of Market Street, and
the third was the ferry clock at
the foot of Market Street. ,
Hamilton's pictures show the
Eilers roof with several people
standing waiting for the parade.
zone of these pictures was printed
yesterday in the Washington
TimesO
In each Of the pictures is Rena
Mooney the, wife of Mooney, and
in two of them is Mooney.
The clocks show the time. In
the first picture the time was
1853 p. m; in the second it was
2:02 p. M; in the third 1t was
2:04 p. m.
All the Oxmans. McDonalds, and
Edeaus in the world could not
alter those figures. The camera
cannot lie.
These photographs were not dis
covered until after Billings con.
viction. The police had the mega
tives and refused to turn them
over to the defense. 1t was only
after strenuous opposition by the
prosecution that the defense Sc
cured the negatives.
The time shown in the photo
graphs compelled Macdonald to
alter in the Mooney trial testi-
mony he gave in the Billings
case. Upon that occasion he
swore he saw Mooney at Steuart
and Market Streets at the exact
time the relentless camera showed
| him sitting with his wife on the
roof of Eilers Building a mile
away.
So Mcdonald, in his testimony
in MONEYS trial: gave Mooney
20 minutes to get from Steuart
and Market Streets to the roof
of the Eilers Building. But the
time was insufficient. Mcdonald
over-rated MONEYS ability as a
pedestrian. Mooney, to reach the
roof of the Eilers Building in 20
minutes, had to walk mile out
Market Street, while the parade
was moving and with the Side
walk literally jammed with people
Then he would have to cross

a soldier whom he did not know,
was told to Montgomery County
Policeman E. R. Jones late last
night by a man who gave his
name as James M. Fitzgerald,

Fitzgerald went to the home Of
Will Bradley in Kensington shortly
before midnight and Bradley
called Policeman Jones. The man
told Jones he was riding with the

Columbus beat him. The soldier
took no part in the attack, Jones
