PAJAMA-CLAD BOYS
CAPTURED ON ROOF
Three Escaping From Industrial
Home School Quickly Caught
After Radio Broadcast.

Three pajama-clad youths who made
their getaway from the Industrial Home
School last night were captured early
today on the roof of an abandoned store
building at Eighth street and Market

attempt to elude arrest by two first

spotted" riding in taxicab
A radio lookout" for the trio
William Poland, II years old; Franklin
Pierce, 13, and Edward Shane. 12-who
sneaked from their beds and fed from
the school shortly before midnight, was
received by Policemen Elwood S. Groves
and S. r. Russell while they were cruis-
ing along D street in a radio scout car.
Several blocks away the two officers
saw three youngsters in taxicab driv-
ing near Eighth and D streets and
turned their machine around to in
vestigate. When they did the taxi
swerved into an alley and the trio
jumped out and fed.
The hacker driving the cab told the
officers his passengers, dressed only in
pajamas and wrapped in blankets, had
climbed the fire escape of the old
Parker Bridget store to the roof of the
four-story structure. Groves and Russell
mounted the fire escape and finally
found their quarry hiding behind the
opening of a skylight after searching
for nearly an hour.
The trio readily admitted their
identity and said that in their haste
to escape from the school they had
decided to leave their school uniforms
behind They hailed a taxicab on Wis
consin avenue in front of the institution
and were driven downtown.
Groves and Russell took the boys to
No. l station, where they were turned
over today to officials of the school.

headed by Paul Bellamy Of the Cleve-

This committee said that there Is still
a great deal of opportunity for i'm

schools of journalism and the news
paper and that there are many schools
which almost entirely neglect the very
important matter of developing con-
tact with the newspaper"
I'm this respect" the committee said,
"many schools of journalism are dis
tinctly inferior to many of the technical
schools, and for that matter the COL
leges of liberal arts"
II recommended that schools Of jour
nalism have a liaison officer who would
keep in touch with newspapers Of his
| territory.
The editors were welcomed to the
Capital by Bascom N. Timmons, presi-
dent Of the National Press Club. where

TAXI RATE RULING
UNDER DISCUSSION
Utilities Commission Fails to Take
Action on Decision Of
Mcmahon.

The Public Utilities Commission yes
terday discussed a decision of Judge
John P. Mcmahon of Police Court
holding that taxi drivers may change
their rates at any time, but no action
was taken. The commissions hands
are tied by an appeal to the Court
of Appeals from a decision of District
Supreme Court holding that it has the
power to compel cabs to install meters
and set rates for meter operation
There is an added complication in that
the House of Representatives is seeking
not only to remove their power over
meters. but over taxicabS altogether.
By the terms of the amended meter
order, it will not take effect until so
days after the final decision Of the
court, so presumably the cab industry
