Bride Prepared for Move If
Officers Fail to Qualify in
Bauer-SchIeichert Case

Further difficulties we're encoun-
tered today in selection of a trial
board to sit in judgment on two
policemen charged with accepting
a bribe, and the hearing again was
postponed, this time until 10 a. m.
next Thursday, at No. Precinct
station house.
Meanwhile, Elwood Seal, AsSis-
tant Corporation Counsel, and
Harry T. Whelan and Joseph D.
Kelly, defense counsel, will confer
over the weekend and select
trial board personnel agreeable to
both sides.
Kelly Also Challenged
At yesterdays session Seal, in a
surprise move unprecedented. in
the history of police trials, per-
emptorily challenged Inspector
William G. Stott, chairman of the
board and Capt. Maurice Collins,
No. 7 Precinct commander, for
having expressed opinions on the
case. The two stepped down and
the hearing was postponed until
today.
Today's difficulties centered
about the inclusion of Capt. Ed
ward J. Kelly, No. 3 Precinct, on
the new board. Defense attorneys,
exercising the prerogatiVe estab-
lished by Seal yesterday, chal-
lenged Kelly's appointment on two
grounds-that even though he
was not accused of uttering an
opinion. he had been a member
of the disqualified board. and also
is known as very close friend
of Justice Peyton Gordon who
presided at the court trial in
which a jury acquitted the &C
cused-H. G.. Bauer and Rudolph
Schleichert.
Officials Questioned
This mornings brief session was
taken up entirely with close ques-
tioning of the police officials who
appeared as potential board mem
bers.
Considerable thought was given
by the defense to the fact that
Inspector Thaddeus R. Bean and
Inspector James F. Beckett had
offered to appear as character
witnesses for the two men, but
this phase was waived.
Inspector Bean then was ap-
pointed chairman pro tenn, and
after objections had been raised
to Captain Kelly, agreed to drop
consideration of him as a mem
Der. It is likely Bean will be
named permanent chairman of
the hearing.

Cold-Wave Rush for Relief
Here Ended by CWA Jobs

District welfare agencies appar-
emily are not noticing the effect
of the cold wave as much as

made today.
Leroy A. Halbert, Director of
Emergency Relief. said applica-
tions for aid to his office have
shown little increase since the
onset of the cold weather. He
added that all cases are being

No Rise in Transients
Arthur S. Rosichan, director of

office has noticed no increase at
all. He pointed out that the cold
weather diScourages movement of
transients and said that, since his
office already had most of the

Volunteers Get Appeals
An increase in the number of
appeals for help has been noted
by the Volunteers of America,
however, that organization re-
porting that about 35 more per-
sons per day have applied for
aid since the cold. set in. All
are being cared for, it was added.
Halbert pointed out that many
persons formerly on relief rolls,

plicants for aid during extremely

regularly for the CWA and are

While Commissioner Allen re-
fused to discuss the conference,

gone to congressional leaders yes
terday is being held by the Com

ANTHEM SCRIPT I
APPEAL FAILS

Col. James A. Moss, president
general of the United States Flag
Association, made a vain appeal
today to the Safe Deposit and
Trust Company, of Baltimore, to
cancel it's advertised plan of
selling the original manuscript of
the Star r-Spangled Banner" at
public auction January S.
The appeal was based on an
editorial appearing in the Wash
ington Times, December 26, call
ing attention to the value of the
document from an historic point
of view and pointing out it
should be the property of the
nation.
Colonel Moss asked the Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, ex-
ecutors of the Henry Walters es-
tate, the latter owner of the
manuscript, and the walters
Gallery" in Baltimore, to hold
off sale, setting a fair" price
until the association could ask
Congress to purchase the script.
Failing to do this, the association
would raise money by popular
subscription, purchase the paper
and present it to the Library of
Congress.
These proposals were rejected.
The position of the Trust Com
pany is that it is duty bound as
executor to sell the assets of the
estate at the highest possible
price for the benefit of the heirs.

this new, young, and energetic or
ganization has not forgotten one of
the great qualities of its ancestor: it
knows how to generate excitement in
the theater-which is one of the rarest
things to be found there.
The Monte Carlo Ballet sets up an
electric current on the stage and COM
pletes the circuit, giving the audi
ence not cheap shock, but a ire
mendous exhilaration, managing to do
what all good theaters should do:
alter the rate of the pulse, making the
heart beat faster and the blood move
more brightly. On the opening night
these ballets made all the rest of the
entertainments of the year-in pic
lures. musicals, radio, and the straight
theater-seem lifeless in comparison.

VIRGINIA FEARS
BEER RESULT

Enactment Of national legisla-
ton making possible the sale Of
beer has placed another problem
on the shoulders Of Virginia
police authorities. Under existing
laws the liquid can be carried
through the State but cannot be
sold, delivered or drunk legally
within the boarderS Of the Old
Dominion.
Police now wonder how they
will enforce the law and believe
many shipments will "go astray."
A truck driver equipped with a
bill of sale can take a load Of
beer from the District of Colum-
bia across Virginia into West
Virginia where the sale of beer is
legal.
Police fear however, som e
drivers may have two bills of sale
and deliver a portion Of their
brew somewhere in Virginia, sub
stitute bill for a smaller con-
signment and continue into West
Virginia.
