AWARD FOR STREET
UPHELD BY COURT
Condemnation Jury's Action Ap.
proved in Extension of

The District Court of Appeals, in an
opinion by Chief Justice Martin today
affirmed the action of the District Su-
preme Court in upholding the award
of condemnation jury for the ex-
tension of Irving street between Eight
zenith and Twentieth streets and for
the widening of Eighteenth street be-
tween Jackson and Irving streets
northeast. The court held objections
by property owners to the jury'S award
are in the nature of a motion for a
new trial and the law does not pro-
vide for a retrial, except when ordered
by the court.
Objections were filed by Lloyd H
Van Kirk and Guy v. Collins, owners
of land condemned, and by George d.
Mitchell, Alice N. Touey and Nicholas
D. DemaS, whose land had been as
sessed for benefits Van Kirk and
Collins had been served personally be-
fore the jury was sworn and the others
received due notice of the assessment,
the court finds, and all had their day
in court.
AS to the questions of fact raised by
the appellants, the court says, con-
cerning the amounts found by the jury
for damages and benefits, 1t need only
be said that the record does not present
evidence sufficient to sustain the OBJ

SCIENTIST COMBS TEXAS CAVES
FOR BONES OF ICE-AGE HUMANS
Frank NJ. Settler Invades
Black Caverns to Seek
AncientS' Remains.
Identity of Tribes Forms
Greatest Puzzle to
Archaeology.

Into black caverns of Western Texas
leads the trail Of the Oldest Americans.
Frank M. Setbler, archeologist of the
Smithsonian Institution, has Just left
Washington to make his second in
vasion of this inferno-hke subterranean
region where last Summer he uncovered
what may be next to the lowest level
of human occupation yet found in
North America.
During the past few years evidence
has been accumulating that this part
of the continent was occupied by a
primitive people contemporaneous with
extinct animals-antedating the ear
liest Basket Maker people. They appear
to have lived at about the time when
the fauna of the region was changing
from the Ice Age forms to those of the
present. This would make them the
earliest human inhabitants of the con-
tinent whose remains have been un-
covered.
Identity Is Puzzling.
The identity of these people is today
perhaps the greatest puzzle in North
American archaeology. They apparently
f1ourished for time and then vanished,
to be followed long time later by the
1 {
mains up to the present, have marked
the North American archeologiSts's S
farthest horizon in the past. They may
have been ancestors Of the Basket
Makers or have represented an entirely
different sort of race.
Thus far no skeleton has been found
Human bones will be the primary objec-
tive of Settlers search in the caves
Thus far the evidence of the existence
of these people rests almost entirely on
peculiar sort of spear point-the So
called Folsom type-found among the
bones of extinct animals
The search is directed especially to
the Texas caves through a discovery
just reported to the Smithsonian by
Edgar B. Howard, archeologist of the
Pennsylvania Museum, Philadelphia
who last Fall excavated a cave Just
across the New Mexico line and found
this characteristic spear point associ-
ated with bones of an extinct bison
and musk OK approximately four feet
earliest level OF basketmaker culture.
Believed Positive Evidence.
The spear point is considered almost
positive evidence that human beings
were in the country with the vanished
animals. The amount Of earth that
had accumulated above it indicates that
it was many centuries, at least, before
the cavern was again used for human
habitation. Especially significant arc

the Democratic House drew a reply
yesterday from the Republican hoor
leader, Representative Smell OF New

the New York Republican said.
On the same day that the Republican
speakers praised Hoover, Smell said
Democratic spokesmen charged the Re.
publican with all the evils they could
think of or imagine. and we were silent
about their attacks
II have not decided, after reading
Speaker Gamers statement, whether it
came from Speaker Garner or as from
Garner, candidate for President.

have any similar legislation they will

POLICE CAPTURE
STORE INTRUDER
Arrest One Man in Basement,
While Another Escapes.
Auto Seized.

Responding to a call that the Dun
can Pharmacy, First and K streets, had
been entered, police early today cap
tured colored man in the basement of
the store after a second man had es-
capped. The officers also found an auto
mobile, said to have been used by the
two men.
The man, William Coleman, SO, who
gave his address as Jacksonville, Fla,
was captured by Pvt. H. H. Hodge and
Sergt. r. B. Carroll of No. police
station, who entered the building while
two officers from the first precinct
stood guard in the rear. Coleman was
booked for investigation.
Cigarettes Missing.
A check-up on the stores stock
showed five cartons of cigarettes miss
ing. The car taken by police, small
coupe, bore Maryland license tags. The
man who escaped was believed to have
made his getaway on foot.
The police we're summoned to the
scene by man who noticed a window
to the store had been broken.
A second drug store listed in today's
police reports was that of William C.
Furr, Fifth and E streets northeast.
Furr told police that he was alone in
his store about $50 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon when two young white men,
one of whom he believed was armed,
rif1ed his pockets and the cash register
and escaped with his watch and small
sum Of money. They ordered their
victim to a rear room before departing.
Dallas P. Fisher, Clarendon, Va, a
taXicab driver, reported to police that
he had been robbed Of SIS by young
white man whom he had driven to
Twenty ty-eighth and M streets. The
bandit was armed, according to Fisher.

continent was covered with ice, its graz
ing grounds being just below the edge
of the ice sheet. There was evidence
that the musk-ox skeleton was not
brought from somewhere else.
This would indicate that the maker
of the spear point lived during the last
ice age 1t implies an antiquity which
few anthropologists in the past have
been willing to grant the human race
in the Western world although, Mr..
Settler points out, not disproving the
well established thesis that the conti-
nent was peopled by migration from
Eastern Asia by way of Alaska.
To Follow Another Clue.
Settler is to follow up another clue
from the same general region. He will
start in the southern part of the Big
Ben region of Texas, few miles from
the Rio Grande, and work north up
the Pecos toward the Guadalupe Noun
tains. This is all hilly and noun
famous country, with numerous caves
both limestone caverns in the sediment
airy rock and big gas pockets in the
volcanic rocks. Last year IN one cave
in this region he found a few remnants
of an ancient Indian culture which
archeologists have been unable to iden-
tify. There were some slight indica-
tions, however, which connected it with
the Basketmakers. although it did not
check entirely with any of the known
BaSketmaker horizons.
The question to be answered by
further cave excavations is whether
these people were a branch of the
basketmakers, or possibly their fore
runners, intervening between them and
the Folsom" Spearhead makers. If the
latter is true, it may be possible to find
still lower cave levels with artifacts OF
the Folsom people themselves and
which would be by far the greatest find
of all-some Of their bones. Until a
skeleton is found the nature of these
most ancient of Americans will remain
a mystery.
On the way to Texas Settler will stol
at Cumberland Island, Ga, to investi-
gate an alleged find Of a dugout canoe
OF the sort used by the Southern In.
dians at the time of the first white set
Elements. At present only one Of thess
is known to exist. Considerable confIl-
sion has arisen because slaves adopted

JEALOUS TRAFFIC

JOB OVER PROTEST
GIassford Defends Record OF
: SinC,.-...', Attacked by
Monarch Club.
DENIES THAT ACTIONS
CALL FOR REPRIMAND
Refuses to Transfer Officer to Post
Where He Can Be Used to
Better Advantage"

Raymond " Sinclair, traffice police
man, whose victims run into the thou
sands, will not be removed from the
traffic squad, Brig. Gen. Pelham d.
GlaSsford, superintendent OF police, de-
cided today in passing on request OF
the Monarch Club that the ofhcer be
transferred to same other duties where
his zeal "can be utilized to better ad-
vantage"
1t was Sinclair's recent roundup OF
So motorists for traffic offenSeS that
stirred the Monarch Club, an organiza-
ton of business and professional men.
In a letter to Gen. GlaSsford, the club
not only urged the officers removal
from the squad, but condemned his ac-
ttvitieS as "prejudicial to the best in
terestS of the community"
While zeal in performing ones
duties should not be condemned" the
club declared, "the record established
by Policeman Sinclair raises the in
escapable presumption in our minds
that either one of two things are true,
viz. either all of the other members OF
the traffic squad are woefully inefficient
and derelict in their duty or else Sim
clair Is overZealouS.
The other officers do not find 1t nee
essary to drag citizens wholesale into
Trafic Court in this fashion, and we
believe that this practice breeds an
tagoniSm between the citizens and the
authorities that is much more objec-
tionable than minor violators OF the
traffic regulations.
I'm view of the marked increase in
robbery and serious crimes. We believe
the zeal of Sinclair can be utilized to
better advantage in other directions
than upon the traffic squad, and we
urge his transfer to some other de-
partment."
Replying to the clubs request, Gen
Glassford said in no particular instance
did Sinclairs judgment appear subject
to reprimand or to warrant his removal
from the traffic squad.
Gen. Glassford also took occasion to
point out that police department sta
tistics show that robberies and other
serious crimes during the past few
months are not appreciably more nu-
merous than for similar periods in past
years.

Glassford Declares Move Does Not
Presage Any Particular En-
forcement Drive.

The special police liquor and gam
bling squads, decentralized in the gen.
eral reorganization of the department
last July, are to be reorganiZed and
again centralized March l, it was re-
vealed today by Brig. Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford, superintendent Of police.
Twenty officers constituting the liquor
and gambling enforcement squads, who
are now scattered, nine OF them working
out of police headquarters and the re-
naming IL from the three inspection
district headquarters, are to be placed
under the direct supervision of Inspec-
tor James M Beckett, head of the Bu-
reau of Special Investigations The
personnel of the squads also is to be
changed somewhat.
Denies Special Drive.
Gen. GlasSford said the reorganiza-
ton did not presage a special drive
against liquor and gambling establish
ments, but would be carried out solely
in the interest of increased effective
ness and efficiency. The present de-
centralized system, he declared, has not
worked out satisfactorily.
Gen. Glassford said he had placed
responsibility for reorganization of the
liquor and gambling squads on In
spector Beckett. All of the details will

be given freedom to select the men he
wants in his bureau,
The plan, however, according to Gen.
Glassford, will be patterned after the
existing organization, of the detective
bureau. Inspector Frank S. w. Burke,
chief of detectives, he explained. now
has supervision over all detectives, pre-
cinct men, as well as those working out
of headquarters. The special liquor
and gambling enforcement officers in
the precincts, under the reorganiza-
ton plan, he said. will make their re-
ports directly to Inspector Beckett.
Centers Of Headquarters.
Police headquarters, according to
Gen. Glassford, is the logical place for
GENERALIZATION of the liquor and gam
bling squads. Virtually all of the in
| formation relative to the location OF
| speakeasies and gambling houses, he
said, comes to police headquarters.
The reorganization plan, Gen. Glass
| ford declared, also contemplates the
addition of some duties on members OF
Inspector Beckett's Bureau Of InveSu-
cation. What Gen. Glassford hopes to
| do, he said, is to make the bureau ex-
actly what its name implies-an in
| vestigation bureau. Thus. its activities
would not be confined entirely to
| liquor, vice and gambling cases, but
| 1t would also be called on from time
to time to make special investigations
of cases not directly related to the
| work of the Detective Bureau.
