LATE To SAVE
HER HOME
Mrs. Joseph l. MiChaeIs Told
Auction Sale Could Not
Be Set Aside

Attempt of Mrs. Joseph L.
Michaels to save her home in the
1000 block East Capitol Street
from an enforced sale failed today
in District Supreme Court.
The property was sold at auc-
ton several days ago. Counsel
for Mrs. Michaels obtained a tenn
porary injunction seeking to halt
the auction sale Of the property,
but the injunction was not granted
soon enough.
In applying for the injunction,
the court was informed that Mrs.
Michaels had applied to the Home
Loan Bank Corporation for aid
and was reasonably certain her
application-which was the first
District application before the cor
poration-would be approved.
However, when the case came
before Justice Oscar R. Luhring
today, he decided the issue in the
case was moot and there was no
way in the situation as presented
to him that the sale could be set
aside. The auction sale was made
after the Michaels had fallen six
months behind in payments for
the home.
Mrs. MichaeI's attorney stated
he was considering filing another
suit, asking that the sale be set
aside,

TAKOMA DRYS
PLAN WAR ON
BEER
Refusal of Court to Sanction
High Tax Anglers Town
Dry Forces; Vote Due

Angered by the refusal Of the
Montgomery County Circuit Court
to uphold the $1,000 beer sale
tax in Tacoma Park, Md, and
what was described as the "tak-
ing t-sitting down" attitude of
the mayor and town council, resi-
dents of the community today are
preparing to beat beer in a refer
endum vote after January /.
Although dry forces are, as yet,
disorganized, C. S. Longacre, edi-
tor of Liberty, the magazine of
the Religious Liberty Association,
looms as their leader.
Longacre declared today that
he believed the State beer law
was literally imposed upon the
people, and branded the act as
unjust to residents of the town
and to dealers who will sell beer.
Longacre said many dealers will
spend large sums of money for
equipment, while it is highly
probable that the beverage will
be banned in the community.
Although primarily interested
only in Takoma Park, Longacre
plans to fight for beer referen-
dunn in each of the 18 districts Of
Montgomery county. He said that
although he is willing to abide by
majority rule, he expects Takoma
Park to vote dry.

CRIMINALS
Fingerprint System at Local
Prison Locates Many Men
Hunted From Crime

In the thousands of men and
women who pass through the Dis
trict Jail each year, some to serve
a few days on minor charges,
others held awaiting court action
and others serving out criminal
court sentences, there are to be
found a great number who have
served time elsewhere and who are
wanted in other places.
Without such a system as the
fingerprint method of identifica-
ton it would almost be impossi-
BILE to identify the previous offend
ers and those wanted elsewhere.
Lieut.. Col. William L. Peak,
superintendent of the jail, a
graduate of the Leavenworth
Penitentiary college" of penology,
has recently had placed under his
control the Identification system
of the District Penal institutions.

Every prisoner received is taken
through a rear door-there is no
more backing up of patrol wagons
at the iail's front entrance
searched in a wire enclosed space
and is booked by receiving clerk.
From there the prisoner goes
to another recording clerk, where
his or her pedigree is registered
The prisoners fingerprints are
taken and a sample of the sigma.
ture is written on the fingerprint
card.
A copy of the fingerprints is
sent at once to the National
Bureau of Identification, Depart,
ment of Justice. Within very
short time, sometimes hours, word
will be received at the jail if the
prisoners prints show his to be
wanted elsewhere.
Recently, Harry S. Deane
fingerprint expert in charge OF
the Jail bureau. and his assist
ant Daniel J. O'Brien, a lawyer
and fingerprint expert, took the
