Marshall Painter, jobless, who
has been boarding at 20 Third
st. S. E., gambled with luck
when, yesterday, he packed his
brood back to Washington from
Upper Marlboro rather than place
his wife and children in the
Prince Georges county aims
house.
Painter, his wife, Marian, and
their three children, May Isa'
belle, 6; Russell, 2, and Ruth, z
months, were sent to Upper Marl'
boro early yesterday morning by
the Travellers Aid Society.
Stranded with no funds at all,
they spent all day in the station
ut that town, before Miss Agnes
DuvaIl, Prince Georges county
social worker, found them.
|. The only available lodging
was the aims house, Painter
said he would prefer to keep his
children out of the poor farm.
Friendly motorists brought the
family back to Washington.

Old King: Coal Fatally I'LL?
Many Doctors Disagree

America, several operators, large
and small, and the American
Federation of Labor contend
that nothing but Government
regulation can save the king
from his fOllies.
Another group favors interstate
control, through cooperation Of
governors, miners and operators.
A third argues. that only the
operators understand the all
ments clearly enough to effect a
cure.
Counsel for Hoover
John D. A. Morrow, president
of the Pittsburgh Coal Company,
believes King Goals own subjects
must find the cure.
"The best thing that could
happen to the soft coal indus
try" he said, would be for
President Hoover to get up on
his hind legs and say to the
operators who run to Washing
ton with their troubles: TO hell
with you! Go work out your
own prOblemsp"

have wanted it so.

missing.
From near and far had come
floral tributes-pillars, wreaths,
sheaves were sent in profusion.
There were autumnal blossoms
from neighbors' gardens, bouquets
from school children, stately
crosses with whispS of purple rib
bon, lettered in gold.

CITIZENS. FIGHT
MARKET SITE

The Mid-City Citizens Associa-
tion is preparing to go before
the Congressional District com.
mittees at the next session to
protest against the manner EN-
ployed by the District in acquir-
ing land for the Wholesale
Farmers Produce Market in the
Southwest section.
The association has continually
fought the plan to locate the
market in the Southwest, favor
ing the Fifth and K Streets
Northwest market site. A. j.
Driscoll, president. in announc-
ing the plan of the association,
today pointed out that the mar
ket bill requires the DISTRICT to
obtain the land in the squares
bounded by Tenth and Eleventh
and E and G Streets Southwest,
either by purchase or condemna-
ton.
He declared the District was
confronted with a situation which
often occurs in attempts to ac-
quire school sites when it was
found that prices for the mar
ket land were too high. He con-
tends that the District should
have waited until Congress con-
vened before going ahead with
attempts to acquire the land in
order to get the necessary funds
to carry out the provision of
the market bill.
