VIRGINIA TROLLEY
TERMINAL FARLEY
IS ASKED BY MAY
Facilities North of Fourteenth
Street and Avenue Sought
for Two Lines.
NEW SURVEY MADE
OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Commission, Opposed to Plan, I'm
able to Fix Early Date
for Discussion.

J. William May of the Alexandria
Chamber of Commerce has asked the
Public Utilities Commission for another
conference on the proposal to estab-
liSh a terminal north Of Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania for two traction
lines operating into the city from Viz
GINA. They are the Alexandria, Mount
Vernon e. Washington Railway and the
Arlington 81 Fairfax Line.
The .requeSt was made by Mr.. May on
behalf of interested Virginia civic bodies,
and in 1t he said a new traffic survey
OF conditions at the intersection has
been completed and will be submitted.
Previous Survey Showing.
At former conference on the pro-
posed terminal site the Public Utilities
Commission had asked that survey OF
traffic conditions be made at Fourteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue.
This survey, it was said. showed that
conditions at the intersection are less
complicated than similar conditions at
terminal sites in some other large cities,
but a recent survey made by the Trafnc
Bureau revealed the intersection IS the
busiest in the city.
Commission Opposition.
The Public Utilities Commission has
expressed itself as opposed to the estab-
lishment of any terminal north Of Four
tenth street and Constitution avenue.
Due to the hearings now being held in
connection with the inquiry into the
gas company's ownership the commits
sion is unable to Ak an early date for
a conference with Mr. May and others
interested in the proposal.

Mrs Mary Morrow still is mot al
together satisfied with the verdict of
the coroner's jury which investigated
the death of her husband, Policeman
Raymond M. Morrow, whose body was
found in a ravine in the rear OF his
home at 1445 Spring road about two
weeks ago. 1t was learned at police
headquarters today.
The widow, it was said, telephoned
headquarters few days ago and de-
clared she felt her husbands mysterious
The verdict of the coroner's jury-that
the officer died as the result Of fall
the cause of which was unknown-left
the case open for further inquiry.

CHEST AID SHOWS
40.5 PCT. INCREASE
Organizations Care for 49,
536 in First Eight Months
of Year.

Assistance rendered by relief organi-
cations affiliated with the Community
Chest increased 40.5 per cent during
the first eight months of 1881, as COM
pared with the same period last year,
according to figures made public yes
terday by Andrew G.. Landrus, auditor
and Office manager of the Community
Chest.
During the period this year UP to and
including August, 1885 individuals or
families were assisted by Community
| Chest organizations, in contrast with
the 1920 aided during the first eight
months of 1890
OF this years figure, Landrus pointed
out, 10,056 received actual relief and
S,480 were assisted by services only The
Community Chest has expended $46,-
$50 more during the first eight months
OF 1881 than it did duMng the like
period of last year, which represents an
increase in expenditure of sos per cent.
40,232 Meals Served.
Meals served to transient homeless
men and women up till August 81, this
year, totalled 40,232, as compared with
16,947 for the same period in 1880, an
increase of 1877 per cent. Nights lodg-
ings supplied totalled 26,609 dufing the
first eight months of this year, which
represents an increase of Adj per cent
over the number of nights accommoda-
tions given for the same period in 1880.
Increased demand for relief work and
for disqualification has brought about a
revision of the expenditures OF the Gin
divi3ual dollar" Mr.. Landrus explained.
Because $4,000 more has been appro-
priated to relief and hoSpita lization, the
individual dollar now is distributed as
follows:
For needy families and individuals, 26
cents; for dependent and neglected chill
dren IL cents: for dependent old folks,
2 cents: for the sick, injured and han
dicapred and for disease prevention 81
cents; for character building and citi-
zenship, 18 cents; for community CO.
operation, IS cents.
Funds Entirely for Relief
This shows" Mr.. Landrus explained,
more clearly than any other state
ment that these increased funds go
entirely for relief work This extra
appropriation was necessary in order
that the Chest might keep its word
that no person need go hungry in
Washington nor lack for hospitaliza-
ton or medical care if sick or in
jured"
Landrus then pointed OUT that be-
cause of the 10-pay plan inaugurated
this year, as against the quarterly pay
ment plan of last year, that Chest
collections up to August 81 showed
$1,415.000, or 1922 per cent of the
total pledged, as against $1,17o.000. or
1924 per cent of the total pledged
on the same date in 1880. slight drop
in percentage for this year
Again calling attention to probable
deficits in the welfare organizations
funds. Mr.. Landrus appealed to every
contributor to pay up his pledge as
soon as possible, stating that every
penny pledged for 1881 would be need
ed to carry out the plans for meeting
the mounting tide of demands for
relief.

EMERGENCY PROBE
|ND|CTS BROTHERS
Jury Again Charges Two in
Check Case Just Before
End of Limitation Period.

The "rehabilitated" grand jury made
an emergency report to Justice Adkins
of the District Supreme Court today
containing two indictments. One charges
James W. Sherman and Alpheus j.
Sherman, his brother, with embezzle-
ment, and the other alleges non-sup-
port against Edgar M. Smith, recently
located at Harrisonburg, Va.
This is the second time that an
emergency report has been made against
the Sherman brothers, who are said to
have obtained two checks of 5000 each
from Jessie Holt, an employe of the
Children's Hospital, for proposed tour
of the world being conducted by the
Sherman Travel Bureau, run by the
accused brothers One Of the checks
was given August q. 1923, and the first
report of the grand jury was made Au-
gust rs so that the two counts OF the
indictment referring to the first check
would not be dlsbarred by the statute
OF limitations.
The second check was dated Sep
TENDER 81, 1923, and would be barred
by the statute tomorrow. The new IN
dictment deals only with the second
check and is in two counts, one charg-
ing embeZZlement of the check and the
other the embezzlement of the proceeds
of the check. The first indictment had
two additional counts similarly refer
ring to the other check, now outlawec
The new indictment will provide a
test case Of the right of the grand jury
which had previously indicted the
brothers reporting a second indictment
dealing only with the single check not
outlawed. The first indictment became
ineffective with the discovery that Henri
L. johnson, a member of the grand
jury, was serving while receiving a pen
sion from the United States.
United States Attorney Rover ex-
planned that the complaint of Miss Hclt
did not come to his Office until July
and was put before the grand jury with
dispatch.

n N ISIS MARGARET McLAIN isn't
M going to mind any more babies
for strange women. Not in bus
i terminals, anyway.
Miss McLain, who lives at
I'LL Thirteenth street, was sitting in
the women's rest room of the Union
Bus Depot yesterday. when an attrac-
tive, fairly well dressed girl of about 10
entered, carrying a baby and small
travelling bag.
Placing the infant on a bench and
the bag on the floor, the newcomer
proceeded to comb her hair. The baby,
apparently about five months old, began
wailing.
You'd better watch your baby" Miss
McLain suggested, 'or it'll roll off,"
"Oh, he's hungry" the stranger re-
piled. II guess I'll have to get him a
bottle-I broke the one he had coming
down on the bus from New York-and
give him some milk wonder If
you'd mind holding him for minute or
two, while run to a drug store?"

they do?"
The wisdom acquired through a life
time of association with members of her
sex was revealed in the absolutism of
Mrs. Emerson's reply.
Mrs. Emerson, otherwise known as
Anita Loos, is wise enough to accept
facts without trying to explain them.
