'Kidnaper'' Shouts
Quick Way to Jail

Truck Bring Police Chase
and Arrests.

Yelling "help" and "kidnapers" is
about as quick a way as any to land
in police station cell, three youths
learned today after their cries had
caused dozens of motorists and pedes-
trians, in addition to a couple of po-
licemen, to start in pursuit of them.
The chase began at Seventeenth and
H streets when the boys, riding on a
truck, began their shouting. AS mo-
torists and pedestrians started after
them their yells attracted the attention
of Third Precinct Policeman A. S. Mis-
kell and Park Policeman C. E. Rabbit.
The officers jumped into their automo-
biles and chased the youth to Nine
teenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where they cornered them.
Explaining they were lust having
little fIr." the boys were held on
S25 collateral each on disorderly con-
duct charges. They identified them
selves as Jerome z. Thompson, 19, of
the 200 block of Fifteenth street south
east; John E. Adams, Is, of the 1900
block of East Capitol street, and Ed
ward F. Nolan. 49, of the 1400 block

TEACHERS SALARY
LOAN AUTHORIZED
/. Arlington Supervisors Will
Borrow SO, 900 to Pay
March Wages.
By a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY Staf Correspondent of The Star.
ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
: HOUSE, Va, April "A loan of $4,000
to pay teachers salaries for March was
authorized by the Arlington County
Board today. The teachers, however,
: will not be paid until Monday, it was
said
Members of the County Board were
= in receipt today of a statement from
the School Board, showing that s10,-
900 was needed to pay the March teach
erS salaries, which were due yesterday,
and that an additional sum of $65,742
would be needed for the operation of
the schools for the balance of the pres
ent session.
Superintendent Is Sought.
Fred A. Gosnell and Mrs. Elizabeth
B. Magruder, board members, both
stated at todays meeting ,that they
would like to ask some questions of
Superintendent of Schools Kemp or
Thomas j. de Lashmutt, chairman of
the School Board, and a frJlitless effort
. was made to locate the former. Sheriff
Howard B. Fields was sent to locate
De Lashmutt. He reported that he had
notified the School Board chairman,
who was in the Court House, that his
presence in the county beard room was
desired and that De Lashmutt had made
no reply He did not, however, put in
his appearance.
Board Member John c. Gall stated.
when none of the school officials put
in an appearance, that sit looks like
the school board is less interested in
keeping the schools open than We are
supposed to be since this is the second
meeting that we have held to discuss
the desired loan and no school officials
have been present at either" He then
remarked that if the county board was
to take care of all of the details that
are supposed to be handled by the
school board it would soon be suggested
that the schools be placed under the
county management.
To this suggestion Chairman Harry
A. Fellows replied that it was an "eX-
scellent idea" and should be done.
: Many Obligations Unpaid.
a It was brought out that the school
boards statement showed large num-
rber of unpaid obligations. These, it
rwas said, would not be cared for until
-the audit of the county's books is COM
@pleted. Gcsnell declared that this was
smanifestly unfair to the creditors.
RThere was nothing, however, that the
county board could do about this situ-
sation.
: The $4,000 authorized today was in
raddition to a $4,000 loan that had
sbeen authorized for the payment of
bonds and interest coming due on
! March 81 The first named loan is to
: be made for period of 80 days only.
{ Immediately upon the authorization
Of the loan word was sent to the
schairman of the school board so that
she could make arrangements to- OBJ
stain the money before the banks closed.

airy troops and the new game OF eques-
trian basket ball also were applauded

gers, most of whom were residents of
the fashionable Chevy Chase and Cleve-
land Park sections. Those who escaped
injury we're badly shaken by the crash.
Following the crash, Acting Super
intendent of Police Ernest w. Brown
and Director of Traffic William A. Van
Duzer conferred and decided that the
entire personnel of the police depart
ment would be instructed to give sper
cial attention to the enforcement OF
regulations concerning traffic lights
Inspector Brown said a drive would be
made en- motorists who start of before
the green light flashes on and who try
to beat" the red light.
Mr.. Van Duzer pointed out that con-
troll lights all over the city are being
hooded to prevent motorists moving
across the intersections before the light
has changed from amber to green.
Collapsed After Accident.
One of the injured, Miss Wingfield
membership secretary of the Young
Women's Christian Association, forgot
her own hurts yesterday long enough to
assist an injured man from the wreck
age, but collapsed a few minutes later
as she arrived at the Y. W. c. A. Build
ing.
1t was she who had the presence of
mind to break the glass in a fire alarm
box and summon the Fire Rescue
Squad.
Although bleeding with a lacerated
lip and torn ankle, she pushed a seat
away after the collision and saw the
arm of a man sticking out of sec
ton of the wreckage She pulled the
outstretched hand and succeeded in
helping its owner from the bus. She
then hailed taxicab and drove to the
Y. w. C. A, where she collapsed and
was given medical attention. Later
she was removed to her home in a
comatose condition.

COAL MINE STRIKE
EFFECT SURVEYED
Thousands Thrown Out of
Work in Unionized Btu
minous Fields.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April Full effects OF
the wage differences which threw thou
sands of miners out of work in the
unionized bituminous coal shafts of Illi-
nois, Indiana, Eastern Ohio and North
ern West Virginia were being tabulated
by operators and union officials today.
1t was their first opportunity to make
such survey because all mine opera
tions had been stopped yesterday due to
a miners holiday, which began at mid
night March 81 at the same time orders
to cease digging, born of the wage dis
putes, became effective.
Digging May Continue.
In Illinois, where failure of miners
and operators to agree on a new wage
contract caused a shutdown of possibly
80 days, estimates placed the num-
ber of miners affected at As 900. Be-
lief was expressed, however, by both
factions that digging would continue in
some mines under the old wage scale, a
plan optional with the miners and
sanctioned by the Union Policy Com
mittee
In the neighboring Hoosier State, g.
900 deep-shaft miners were believed
thrown out of work because wage con-
ference there was adjourned three
weeks ago pending outcome of the Illi-
nois negotiations. Strip mines were
running under a temporary agreement,
however.
Hooking Valley Conditions.
In Eastern Ohio and the part of West
Virginia, $4,000 miners had been called
to strike by District No. of the United
Mine Workers after wage dispute in
Hooking Valley, but the operators and
union officials agreed a survey today
would be necessary to determine the
effects.
Meantime, the wage negotiations in
Illinois were being continued by COM
mitteeS from both factions, with little
hope agreement would crown their
efforts in less than month.

The deciding game is next Sunday,

to take the measure of GoOdy, the
Blades relief pitcher. Four solid

for a walk and scored ON two hits
and an out.
