Good detective work and some luck
led to the discovery of her body shortly
after the commission of the crime. An
hour later big. blond. rough looking
character was picked up attempting to
board freight train miles down the
line.
Accused of the crime, he stoutly
maintained his innocence, admitting,
however, that the fresh scratches on
his neck and face had been made by
another girl he had accosted who re-
sisted his advances. He insisted,
though, that this happened miles
from where Winifred's body was found
and stated he had never been nearer
than that to the place. No, he didn't
know who the girl was.
The police. believing they had Wini-
fred's murderer, were chagrined when
Fordney, after reviewing the evidence,
stated they were probably holding the
wrong man.
WHY?

lem you would like to submit to Prof.

MEET TO PROTEST
SCHOOL S[ASHES
Aroused Citizens and Edu-
Gators Gather Tonight at
Roosevelt High.

An aroused Washington citizenry,
fearful of the prospects of crippled
schools. closed libraries and curtailed
playground facilities, will meet in the
Roosevelt High School Auditorium,
Thirteenth and Upshur streets, at $50
tonight to protest the slashes in the
Districts 1884 appropriation bill.
Called by Mrs. Joseph N. Saunders,
president of the District of. Columbia
Congress of Parents and Teachers, to-
nights protest meeting will be attended
by delegations from parent-teacher as
sociations. home and school associa-
tions. civic organizations, labor organi-
cations and individual citizens and tax
payers interested in the educational and
recreational institutions of the District
Budget Director Invited.
Mrs. Saunders issued a special invi-
tation to Lewis Douglas, director of the
budget, to attend. At noon, however,
Mr. Douglas had not been able to con-
slider the invitation because of pro-
longed conferences at the White House
and elsewhere. Whether Mr.. Douglas
will attend could not be forecast by
his Office.
Prominent among the speakers will
be Miss Selma Borchard legislative
chairman Of the Teachers Union;
George Sullivan of the Federation of
Citizens Associations; Edward F. NC
Grady of the American Federation Of
Labor; Miss Mary Dent, president. of
the Teachers Union; Mrs. Harvey W.
Wiley, who will speak on the public
library cuts; Mrs. w. w. Husband, on
the AmericaniZation work, and Herbert
F. Woods on the school gardens. Charles
mr. nf ho 1fn
School Association, or some other rep
resentative, also Is expected to speak,
Others to Attend.
The reorganizations expected to send
delegations also include District of Co.
lumbia Educational Association, Ameri-
can Association of University Women,
Business and Professional Women,
League Of Women Voters, District of
Columbia Federation of Women's Clubs
Women's City Club, Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations, Kiwanis Club and
Rotary Club.
Besides the disastrous effects which
confront the public school system, the
drastic cuts in the 1884 appropriations
are sufficient to force the closing of
three existing subbranches of the Dis
trict of Columbia Public Library and re-
suit in the discontinuance of the
municipal playground wading pools. The
closing of the branch Libraries, it Is
pointed out, would be particularly dis
astrous in these time when many per-
sons are out of work and turn to the
libraries to spend their enforced leisure
in self-improvement. These branches
are many miles from the central library,
at Eighth street and Mount Vernon
place, and records indicate heavy in
creases In the use of their books.
The wading pools have been used by
District children for rs years and dur
ing the coming Summer they would
afford thousands of children their only
means of water recreation.

Shortage of CIassrooms.
Continuing. the report shows that
while the building program reduced the
elementary classroom shortage from 487
rooms in 1920, there still was, on No
vember /, 1882, shortage of 176
classrooms. Portables, it asserts, were
reduced from Is in 1920 to Is in 1882,
and part-time was reduced from $50
classroom needs in 1920 to 38 in 1882.
Since the use of portable buildings as
policy was abandoned following a
series of narrow escapes to pupils
through storm damage to these frail
structures, the superintendent points out
that the only way in which inevitable
increased enrolment" can be taken
care Of Is through part-time program
for elementary, junior high and senior
high schools.
"The most acute congestion" Dr.
Ballou asserts In the report, sis now
in the senior high schools. The en-
rollments on November 1, 1882. in the
eight senior high schools was 2,252
pupils in excess Of the capacity. This
figure represents an enrolment Of ap-
proximately the capacity of our largest
high school. Eastern High School is
already on a limited. double-shift pro-
gram. and the Western High School
is faced with the same necessity.
Other high schools must follow suit.
unless Woodrow Wilson High School Is
provided for
THE enrollments in the junior high
schools are kept within the capacity
of the buildings by retaining pupils in
the elementary schools who ought to be
accommodated In the junior high
schools.
THE only way to avoid the unfor-
tunate educational consequences at
tending congestion in our schools is by
the construction of school buildings"

RESALE Of POWER
. HIT BY COURT RULE
Judges Uphold Pepco Refusal
to Sell Electricity for
Submeters.

The District Court Of Appeals today
upheld the right Of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Co. to refuse to sell power
at wholesale rates 10 clients who SUBJ
metered and resold it to others at re-
tail prices.
The decision was rendered In the
case of Myron P. Lewis, Robert A
Nordblom and Fred D. Jordan, owners
Of q store and once building in Wash
ington. who had asked the court for
an injunction to compel the company
to furnish them with electricity.
Under a ruling by the Public Utili-
ties Commission. the power company
had threatened to cut of electric serv-
owners discontinued the practice of
to their tenants at retail prices.
The Court Of Appeals held that un-
der the law, the Utilities Commission
had a right to issue the regulation and
the action Of the power company was
not in violation Of the Commission s
order.
There was shown no wrong doing
on the part Of the power company. nor
any over reaching on its part" the
opinion said. "On the contrary. the
rule IS reasonable protection to the
prevention Of discrimination, which 1t
Is its duty to avoid"
The three owners Of the building
had contended the electric current,
when sold and delivered, Is like other
property. and as such Is subject to the
