TRAIL Of HENRY
KILLERS HOT
Staff Photo

New leads uncovered in the
murder of Milton Henry, gambler,
who was put on the spot in the
rear of his home, 1920 Sixteenth
St. N. W., are expected to prove
solution of the case, a reliable
source at detective bureau re-
vealed today.
The new theory is that Henry
last October knew he was on the
spot. He made efforts to buy
off those who were cunning for
him and was unsuccessful. Then
he went to Baltimore, where he
met John Kendrick, escaped con-
vict, gunman, and supposed safe
blower.
Kendrick, hired as bodyguard
for the gambler, lost his useful
ness when he became mixed up
in a melee with a policeman and
was captured. He is still in jail
waiting trial.
Authorities in Camden and in
Philadelphia, it is understood, are
seeking for Washington author1-
ties, two men, formerly members
of the Duffy gang, who have been
named by underworld contacts as
the killers.

AUD|TS
DEMANDED

Charging that unjust criticism
of her office is rife in Arlington
county, Mrs. Mae E. Jacobs today
demanded that the county hoard
complete an audit of her office,
the Department of Public Wei
fare.
Her statement followed the re-
port of R. B. Jordan, State audi
tor, that he had examined the
relief fund account of her office,
involving about $4,000, and had
found it in excellent shape.
Mrs. Jacobs office is the first
to be examined by State account
ants in which a shortage has not
been found.
The welfare department handles
more than $4,000 annually.
The board directed the audit
be continued.

Defeat Wage Cut
Bdckers, LeqiOn Asks

Defeat of every member OF Con-
gress who votes for reduction in
Federal salaries was urged in reso-
lutions adopted last night by the
Stuart Walcott Post No. 10, Ameri-
can Legion.
The resolutions asserted that
the people have always been con-
fident that faithful employees of
the Government would not be cast
aside and betrayed through the
whimsical campaign flirtations Of
politicians whose real purpose is
not so much to effect real economy
in Government expenditures as to
propagandize the country so as to
assist big industries in cutting the
living standards of all working
people"

RUM CAR RAMS
POLICE AUTOS

Plunglng through two Mont
gomery county police cars which
were blocking the road last night
and continuing forward more
than 200 feet with both front
wheels broken, a rum car wrecked
the police automobiles on the Co
lumbia Pike, between Smells
Bridge and Ashton, Md. Two oc-
cupants of the speeding machine
escaped.
The police cars, driven by
Sergt. Roy Snyder, of the Ia
koma Park substation, and Police
man Jerry Hobbs, of the Silver
Spring Substation, were waiting
for the rum car which had eluded
them two night before.
The police cars, with lights
burning, swung at right angles
with the road. Only a small space
remained between the two ma
chimes.
According TO sergeant Snyder,
the oncoming car made no at
tempt to avoid the cars and with
no lessening of speed tried to go
between the two, striking both,
besides wrecking itself.
Before the policemen could get
to the car, the two occupants
fled, leaving, police say, more
than 400 quarts of allee d liquor.
The car was equipped with a
smoke screen.
