DRIVE MAPPED TO BRING AL DC INTO NRA

Police BQR
Bridge Leap

An inebriated gentleman, sad
dened by the low estate into
which the world has fallen,
tried to jump off the Anacos-
tia bridge shortly after noon
today, but was caught and
held by a police captain and
a patrolman.
Capt. Sidney j. Marks, COM
mander of the Eleventh pre-
cinct, and Patrolman George
Greenip were driving across the
bridge and saw the man begin
climbing the railing. Putting
on speed, Greenip quickly had
the car by the side OF the
Would-be jumper.
After a short tussle, the po-
lice subdued the man and put
him in their automobile for a
trip to the station house. He
was too drunk to be questioned
and was loaded in patrol
wagon and sent to Gallinger
Hospital. Following de-alcohol-
ization there he will be re-
turned to the station and
charged with being drunk,
Captain Marks said.

that man was born to praise, obey,
and glorify his Maker; later it was
considered sufficient if he glorified
his king (and paid his taxes to the
kings collectors).
Recently - fifty years ago the
whole duty of man was to be good
citizen, and his more lofty critics
hoped he would also be big brother
to citizens of other countries; and in
our own time the single duty was
to be good employe and provider.
1 am inclined to think that these re-
quirements have also changed.
For few years we are going back
to the tax-paying ideal, but this is
temporary, like an industrial code.

CANNON LATHES
SOON To TURN

Huge steel lathes used for
turning out cannon at the Navy
Yard, long unused, will soon start
turning at a speed reminiscent
of war times and call back to
work hundreds of furloughed
Navy Yard employees.
Already new craftsmen are at
work planning powerful guns for
the 80 ships called for by the
Navy'S building program.
Machinists, engineers, and
arsenal engineers will be called
back to the local yard within
the next month and many more
hired, Navy officials admit. The
present force probably will have
to be doubled to launch the work
now planned.

a quick change from the usual
quiet discussions of opera, deep
literature, and the like, mem
bers of the Saturday Night Club
were led by their chief, H. l..
Mencken, over the weekend to
battlefields-and finally the police
station yesterday morning.
It is customary for Mencken
and his six or eight cronies to
gather each Saturday night in
the private dining room Of Shell
hase's Restaurant, to talk and
drink beer. Last Saturday night
the round table was composed of
Mencken, several Johns Hopkins

MILK MONTH
OBSERVED

Movement to observe National
Milk Month" was begun here to-
day to encourage a greater con-
sumption of milk and alleviate
distress of the dairy farmers.
Drink an extra glass of milk
daily for one month" is the
slogan.
It has been calculated that if
every Washingtonian would drink
this extra milk each day it would
result in additional revenue to
the farmers of the Washington
milk shed of approximately one
quarter of a million dollars for
the 30-day period
The campaign is launched in
the Capital city as the beginning
of a national effort; under spon-
sorship of a national committee,
with Senator Royal S. Copeland
Of New York as chairman.

LAUREL STUDIES

RUM PLAN
License Board to Give Legal
Opinion on Proposed
Solution of Problem

Whether Laurel can be given
a dispensary as a solution Of it's
liquor problem has been broached
informally to the Prince Georges
Board of License Commissioners
for legal opinion.
The Laurel town council held
a special executive meeting to
consider the question and was
told by Ogle Marbury, counsel,
that under the town charter such
an application would not be legal.
A move by towns to have their
charters amended so they may
take advantage of the dispensary
plan doubtless will be made at
the next session of the Legisla-
ture.
With Four Other Towns
Laurel has been grouped with
four other towns objecting to the
sale of hard liquors within it's
borders, but its is now said the
towns objections pertained only
to ION sale" licenses.
Ormond w. Phair, president Of
the Board of County Commits
sioners, has asked William Brooke,
license board member, if a town
operated dispenSary could be ap-
proved by the board, and the
question was promptly made the
subject of a legal study,

With George Crawford, convicted

Saturday of the murder Of Mrs.
Agnes Boeing Ilsley, already in
the State penitentiary to serve a
/, life sentence, search for his ac-
complice, Charlie Johnson" has
been renewed.
johnson" IS sought as the &C
tual slayer Of the wealthy Mid
dleburg social leader, and her
maid, Mrs. Nina Buckner. Au-
thorities here believe that John
son" committed the crime while
Crawford acted as lookout.
Victory for Houston
Crawford's escape from the
electric chair was credited today
to Dean Charles Houston, of the
Howard University Law School,
his chief defense counsel. Hous-
ton, in a dramatic plea for mercy
for the negro, pointed out to the
jury that Crawford was the only
man who could convict johnson
If he were ever found. He said:
"TO wipe out the life Of
this man will mean the de-
StructiOn of the States only
evidence against the actual
killer"
The commonwealth had asked
for the death penalty.
Little is known about johnson. !"
He spent the Sunday before the
murder, two years ago, in Craw-
ford's company, and they were
seen together near Middleburg on
the eve of the crime. They were
also seen together when they
abandond Mrs. Ilsley's automo-
bile a few hours after the crime.

cost approximately 100000, it
was said.
Congestion Rules
M Street is the main arterial
highway into Washington via
Georgetown, and from Twenty
ninth Street west it is one of the
most congested thoroughfares in
the city.
On it are double street car
tracks, bus lines and heavy auto
mobile traffic. The intersection of
Wisconsin Avenue and M Street
is, according to an official count,
one of the busiest in the city.
At the present time traffic
bound for Rockville, which uses M
Street, has to go to Wisconsin Ave

MIA Avenue would divert this traf-
fic to Prospect Avenue.

Monkeys FOES
SEE CUSTER
FOR CHIEF
Montgomery Police Head Due
to Resign, Following Shaw,
His Critics Believe

Reorganization Of the Mont
gomery county police force, in
cluding the resignation Of Chief
Alvie A. Moxley, is expected to
follow the resignation of Lacy
Shaw, president Of the board of
county commissioners.
Various agencies which have
found dissatisfaction with the
way in which Moxley has han
died the police work see in the
resignation of Shaw an oppor-
tunity to dislodge the chief. With
Shaw out, they conte d, it will
be a simple matter to force the
resignation Of Moxley, who has
held his post for nearly eight
years.
Job without a Salary
Although officials claim that
they know nothing of any shift
which might take place in the
police set up, one observer said
he had firSt-hand Information
that the chief himself wanted to
resign on January l to take over
the duties of custodian of the
courthouse.
Whether Moxley is taking this
attitude in view of the recurrent
reports about him or whether he
is tired of his office and seeks
a change cannot be determined.
There is also the possibility
that, in view of the fact that
the position of custodian of the
courthouse, which is at present
held by County Commissioner
John B. Diamond. pays no sal
ary, Moxley may be retired and
take over the office on retire
ment pay.
Meanwhile outside observers
and many courthouse attaches
are going ahead with the busi-
ness of picking a successor to
Moxley. Among those mentioned
are Sergt. Roy Bodomer, Sergt.
Leroy Rogers mad Commissioner
Diamond.
Respective Chances of Three
Sergeant Rogers is at present
in charge of the Bethesda sub
station and is generally regarded
as one of the most efficient Off
GERS on the force. Bodomer,
long one of the best liked men
on duty and more or less directly
responsible for the Rockville head
quarters, has the added advan-
tage of geographical position.
Moxley halls from the upper
end of the county which, with
the one exception of his appoint
ment, has been fed county ap-
pointmnets rather Sparingly.

COURTS To GET
Bic GARAGE

A Utopia for motorists-the new
Supreme Court building!
Parking troubles for employees
Of the Supreme Court will be a
thing of the forgotten past when
their new building is completed.
According to plans revealed to.
day by David Lynn, Architect Of
the Capitol, a large subterranean
garage will be available for en-
ployes there when the new build
ing is ready for occupancy in
about a year.
The garage, which will hold ap-
proximately 100 automobiles, will
be built directly under the build
ing, beneath four open courts.
Mr.. Lynn stated that the new
annex to the Library of Congress
also will have a garage con-
Structed underneath. It will pro-
vide as much space as possible for
automobiles of its employees.
The only other structure in the
city which has such convenience
for it's employees is the Capitol.

ziegler, attempting it, fell
into a manhole as he stepped
from a taxi at the church in

called off.
There were no manholes in
Harrison, N. Y, where Picker
ing and "Chottie," as she is
known to her friends, were
married nigh onto midnight
last night.
The couple went there a day
later than they threatened
when they left the Carmen
carnival Saturday night, saying
they were eloping. "Chottie"
changed her mind then; said
she was too tired. Her mother
said she never would marry
