I'm loving memory of our dear boy.
Francis Gooner. who passed away April
81. 1880:
Eleven years ago God gave us a boy
To brighten our lives and fill things
with joy,
lie grew to he a care-free lad,
The pride of the hearts of his mother
and dad.
This world is fun of sorrow and pain
So God took him back to heaven again.
Time cannot heal our hearts of their
pain.
But we hope to see him in heaven
again.
Sadly missed by his Family. 1tp

FIGHT CONTRACTORS
REMOVING OF DIRT
Randle Highlands Citizens Urge
Street Extension in
Resolution.

Protesting vigorously against con-
tractors removing dirt from private
grounds to fill in school property, the
Randle Highlands Citizens Association
last night unanimously adopted q reso-
luton condemning this action. The
meeting was held in the Benjamin Orr
School. Twenty-second and Prout
streets, southeast.
Members contended the dirt should
be removed from streets in that section
that have not been cut through. This,
1t was said, would accomplish two pur-
poses at one time and reduce the
drain on public funds. It was also
voted by the association that they ad-
vocate additional street entrances to
the Fort Dupont parkway, now under
construction.
The association offered It's support
on the traction merger project and re-
quested that letter BE- sent to men,
bers of the Senate committee investigat-
ing the proposed merger, informing
them of this.
A revision Of the organizations con-
Stitution was voted in another resolu-
ton adopted. William r. Redmond
and Mrs. Gladys l. Sanders were
accepted as new members of the group.
Adelbert w. Lee. president OF the as
sociation, presided.

TRIALS OF PRISONERS
COMPARED ON RADIO
Assistant United States Attorney
John J. Wilson Contrasts
Justice.

Contrasting justice Of today with
ancient trials by fire and water, As
sistant United States Attorney John j.
Wilson yesterday declared modern
courts accord prisoners at the bar every
possible safeguard against maladminis-
tration Of justice.
Speaking over radio Station WMAL
under auspices of Southeastern Uni
versity, of which he is member Of
the law faculty, Wilson told how
prisoners of old were forced to hold
their hands in fire or boiling water or
submit to other tortures designed to
test their innocence or guilt.
IF their hands were not burned" he
said they were adjudged innocent.
Another method Of trial was to throw
the prisoner into cold water. II he
floated without struggling. he was ac-
Quilted of the crime held against him."
Wilson traced the changes in GRIM
inal law since common law days. with
reference to steps taken through the
years to protect prisoners from unjust
conviction and confinement. Today, he
asserted. the suspect and society both
are assured Of fair and impartial
justice
TIE talk was one Of series being
given on 1.-The Laymen and the Law"
by professors OF Southeastern Uni
versity.
