KING DROWNING
ACCIDENTAL

Mysterious circumstances sur
rounding the drowning of J. Cal
vert King, 27, were cleared up to-
day when two persons who wit
messed the tragedy came to police
headquarters.
Mr.. King was swept to his death
while padding a canoe in the up
per Potomac River late yesterday.
Police were not informed of the
case until an hour after it oc-
Cured, and we're unable to locate
two men who disappeared after
reporting it.
Zero Nichols, Of Cherrydale,
Va, and Rodney Smith, 2031 F
st. N. W., came to police head
quarters today and told detectives
they witnessed the accident. They
said they were fishing near by
and saw the canoe capSize in the
treacherouS waters.
Mr.. King, who lived at 1923
Thirty-fifth st. N. W., was for.
mer employe of the United States
Bicentennial Commission.
Deputy Coroner A. Magruder
Macdonald said he would issue a
certificate of accidental drowning

To spot
GAS HOLDER

With objections filed against
every site proposed for the con-
struction of a gas holder of the
washington Gas Light Company,
the Public Utilities Commission
today undertook the difficult task
of trying to "spot" the least OBJ
jectional location.
1t is considered likely that a
compromise site will be selected
by the commission. The company
originally asked for a site in the
vicinity of Riggs Rd. N. E. and
the B. and o. railroad tracks, but
when citizen groups protested
against this plan the entire North
east was thrown open for con-
Sideration.
The company offered to com
promise by reducing the capacity
of the holder from 100000 to
100000 cubic feet and erect a
memoriallike structure on the
Riggs Road site.
Another compromise was sug'
gested by William NICK. Clayton,
of the Federation of Citizens AS
sociatiohs, who proposed that the
company be allowed to erect a
100000 cubic foot holder at its
East plant, in the vicinity of the
Navy Yard.
The Washington times., 1932-04-29
FIRST PARKING
OFFENSE, So

A new schedule of collateral
to be posted for violations of
traffic laws was approved today
by tie District Commissioners.
The new list provides for re-
ductions in first offenses from
the collateral now charged,
which has been in effect for
three years. The new list was
worked out by Brig. Gen. Pelham
D. Glassford, superintendent of
police, Inspector Ernest w.
Brown and officials of the Police
Court.
Under the new system, the col
lateral for the first offense of
parking overtime is reduced from
$5 to So. Collateral for the sec
ond offense has been fixed at So
and the third, SIS. A like col
lateral has been set up for a
number of other minor violations.
The highest collateral fixed in
the new schedule is for violation
of gaining a permit by misrepre-
sentation, which calls for collat-
eral of $25 for first offense, $50
for the second and 500 for the
third. The charge for violation
of red Traffic lights is set at $40,
$40 and $50; for improper
brakes, $25, $35, and $50, and for
loaning an operators permit or
license tags, $40, $50 and $50.

CANNON FIGHTS
INDICTMENT
APPEAL
He and Secretary Petition
Their Demurrer Be
Sustained

Attorneys for Bishop James
Cannon, jr., and Miss Ada L.
Burroughs today filed mo-
tion to dismiss the Govern
ment's appeal from the Dis
trict Supreme Court ruling
sustaining a demurrer to the
Indictment against the Bishop
and Miss Burroughs.
The indictment resulted from
the activities of a political COM
mittee of which Miss Burroughs
was treasurer during the 1928
presidential campaign.
1t was based on alleged failure
to report a large sum of money
said to have been contributed by
E. C. jameson, of New York.
In ruling that the indictment
was faulty, the District Supreme
Court held that it did not charge
any criminal offense under the
corrupt practices act.
The request that the Govern
ment's appeal from that ruling be
dismissed is based upon a con-
tention that exclusive jurisdiction
as to the appeal is vested in the
United SatteS Supreme Court.

BAKERY DRIVERS
MAY STRIKE

If necessary. bakery wagon driv-
ers in Washington will strike
rather than take a IA per cent
wage cut, according to officials of
the Bakery Statesmen and Drivers
Local No. 33.
Employers have proposed the
cut and the salesmen and drivers
have indicated that they will re-
sist it vigorously. The matter
will be decided within about a
week, it is said.
Union officials are hopeful
that the dispute may be cleared
up without strike, but they are
firm in their refusal to accept
the cut.
Another wage cut looms so far
as local carpenters are concerned.
In some instances this cut would
be as great as 80 per cent, it is
understood.

Chief Duncan Ends
Alexandria CLennuD

Fire Chief James M. Duncan
will conclude his cleanup of Alex
andria this week. During the
two weeks campaign more than
200 truck loads of trash have
been collected from private resi-
dences and business houses.
The chief has also had con-
demned and torn down II build
ings, which were unoccupied and
believed to be fire traps. All the
unoccupied frame buildings at the
old Portner's brewery have been
razed with the permission of the
owners of the estate.

Stole Rolls, Hit Man,
Fined S35 or 80 DaYS

For assaulting a merchant who
attempted to hold him for police
on a theft charge, Matthew
Small. colored, 27, of 1886 Sixth
st. S. W., yesterday was ordered by
Police Court Judge Ralph Given
to pay a $25 fine or serve 80
days in Jail.
Gregory Valindras. proprietor
of a delicatesSen at 365 G st. N.
W., said he saw Small take a
dozen rolls from the front of his
store yesterday. He pursued the
man and Small struck him with
a stick, he said. Judge Given
also found Small guilty of steal

BUILDING LIE n
FILED BEFORE
WORK STARTS
Contract Brokers Discount
Notes and Subcontractors .
Do Actual Jobs

Complaints that District
home owners have become the
prey of operators of a building
"racket" that apparently is
within the law are being in
vestigated by the Better Busi-
ness Bureau, Louis Rothschild,
director, said today.
According to complaints the
game" is a by-product of the fall
ing off of new construction work
in the last two or three years. 1t
also takes advantage of the in
sistent appeals which have been
made by civic leaders to clean up,
paint up, moderniZe" homes.
Act as Brokers
The report is that some firms
which are really contract brokers
discounting notes, contracts and
other negotiable paper are doing
business with property owners
who think they are dealing with
builders.
They are not aware, it is said,
that the actual work is to be
done by subcontractors. Such COM
panieS, it is claimed, have worked
intensiVely in the poorer sections
of the city, dealing with persons
who are not experienced in buSi-
ness.
1t is claimed that the jobs as
rule cost much more than they
would had the home owners OBJ
tained competitive bids.
One of the first steps taken by
the home improvement COM
pany' agents, according to the
complaints, is to slap" a lien
against the property to be i'm
proved.
Unaware of Liens
This is often done before the
actual work is begun and even if
payments are being made prompt
Iy, it is reported.
Although tae filing of the lien
is recorded in accordance with
District regulations, the property
owner is usually unaware of the
existence of the lien unless it be-
comes advisable to refinance or
sell.
Few complaints have been made
by those allegedly "stung." AL.
though it is claimed that work
and material are often inferior,
the jobs are usually completed,
paid for and the liens released.
