CLOTHING VANDAL
SOUGHT BY POLICE
Department Stores Appeal
for Aid In Damage to
Dresses and Materials.

Police aid has been asked In the ap-
prehension of a vandal said to have
slashed with a razor or some other
sharp instrument dresses and bolts Of
silk in several leading department stores
during the past few weeks.
Dresses in show racks and bolts Of
material on counters where they can
be viewed by customers have been dam
aged by some person or persons who
have succeeded so far in escaping de-
lection, the police were told.
Inspector F. S. w. Burke, chief Of
detectives, said the matter recently was
called to his attention, and that De-
tective Sergt. G. E. Warneld. chief Of
the clothing squad, had been assigned
to the investigation.
In most cases, Inspector Burke said,
the vandalism was reported several
days after 1t had occurred. Employees
have been on the alert In several stores
for some weeks without result, police
were told.
Detectives of the clothing squad could
assign no uOLlFe 1OT bue fau0diisLu.
It was said at Lansburgh & Bro. de-
partment store that the loss there was
considerable, although no estimate Of
the damage could be made.
The vandai visited the store as re-
Gently as last Saturday night, 1t was
said, and damaged several dresses. New
garments are slaShed In such . manner
as to make them unsuitable for sale.
The vandAl presumably uses O razor
Or safety srasor blade. .-

CHECK ENDORSEMENT
LIABILITY is FIXED
Responsibility for Investigation Of
Frauds Up to Bank Paying It,
Court Rules.

The responsibility for investigating
fraudulent Endorsement Of check rests
on the bank paying 1t, the Distrlct
Court of Appeals ruled in upholding
decision of the District Supreme Court
in favor Of the Washington Loan &
Trust Co. which had sued the District
National Bank to recover on S3,5O0
check drawn on the trust company and
paid by the bank.
The litigation arose out Of loan
from the Equitable Cooperative Build
ing Association of Washington to John
j. Madden, who represented himself
to the association as his brother-in-
law, Patrick J. Wholihan.
The court found Madden deposited
the check given in settlement of the
loan, which was drawn on the Wash
ington Loan g. Trust Co., at the
District National Bank, where he al
ready owed more than $4,000. The
bank applied the amount of the check
to Madden's Indebtedness to itself.
The fraud was discovered and the
trust company sued the bank to re-
cover on the check which had passed
through the clearing house.
The court held the District National
Bank was negligent in not verifying
the signature of Wholihan's name, and,
by acceptance of the check at its face
value, guaranteed to the trust company
that the Endorsements were genuine.
The trust company was represented
by Attorneys Arthur Peter and George
P. Hoover and the bank by Roger j.
Whiteford and P. H. Marshall.

With between 800 and 400 destitute

today as to whether to enroll them or

The only information forthcoming

that the men should return to their
homes and enroll at regional Offices.
He would not issue a statement, how
ever, definitely declining to accept the
men stranded here.
Charles Dossin. leader of 260 men
from 40 States who are assembled at
Seaton Park, said today that he and
the men with him had left for Wash
ington before Gen. Hines issued his
first statement advising the men to
stay at home. He said his men were
in no way affiliated with. the recent
bonus army; recognized no leader Of
that army as their chief, and wanted
only an opportunity to enroll ii the
Civilian Conservation Corps sad go
to work IN the woods.
At the cfice Of Robert Fechner, di-
rector of Emergency Conservation
Work, it was said that the Veterans
Administration was assuming the re-
sponsibility for registering all veterans
for forestry jobs and that the Conser-
walton Corps could do nothing for them
until they had been enrolled.
Delegations of Dossin's men spent

dash for the Pole. However. with men,
bers of the party, Capt Baldwin ex-
plored large portion of the Arctic and
discovered and named Graham Bell
Land.
In 1901 he organized and commanded
his own party, the Baldwin-Zeigler ex-
pedition, for which elaborate prepara-
tions were made. He established
strategic food and supply depots to
cover his dash back from the Pole, but
the expedition failed, with Baldwin and
his men the victims of a misunder-
standing over the supply ship. Baldwin
and his men were marooned in the
barren wastes. facing six months with
inadequate fuel.
He had prepared for such con-
tingency, small balloons carrying mes
sage buoys to the outer world telling OF
his needs. About 25 of these balloons
were sent out by the Baldwin party, but
none were found in time to bring help.
Many of them have been found since,
the latest turning up on the coast OF
Iceland in April, 1881. When help did
not arrive. the party was forced to re-
turn to the outer world.
1t was on this trip that Capt. Baldwin
took the first motion pictures made OF
the Arctic. He invented device max
ing 1t possible to use film at the low
temperatures encountered, and the
principles of the Baldwin invention were
used by Admiral Byrd in making motion
pictures of his Polar trips.

CHRISTIE LAUGHS
OVER PARKED TANK
11-Ton Vehicle Disturbs Gen.
Macarthur, and Army May
Have to Buy 1t.

Alexander Graham Christie, who has
engaged in many controversy With the
Army over his famed Christie tanks, has
had the last laugh, and hearty one, at
the expense of the War Department.
When Army officials refused to buy
his latest model, and 11-ton land bat
tleShip," as President Roosevelt calls
them, Mr.. Christie drove the tank up
to the War Department, parked it in a
court, and went back home. That was
some months ago and all the efforts 'of
the Army haven't been enough as yet
to remove 1t.
Macarthur Asks Removal.
Every now and then Gen. Douglas
Macarthur looks out onto the court and
finds the huge tank still occupying Gov
eminent space free of charge and asks
the superintendent Of the building what
he is going to do about it. But the
superintendent Is helpless; Mr. Christie
declines to act and the 11-ton tank,
very much of white elephant on the
hands Of the Army, blisSfully continues
to occupy its parking space.
AS custodian of public buildings and
parks, Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, has
been asked to come to the rescue. But
he isn't very much disturbed over the
situation.
IT can't get excited, over it." he said
today. "I guess the qnly inconvenience
it is causing is to the War Department.
Mr.. Christie brought the tank to
Washington last Winter to give the
Army demonstration. 1t does in big
way everything that small tank can
do, and that is going some! But the
War Department. wasn't interested. Un-
der the appropriation bill it had been
authorized to buy five lighter tanks and
there was neither the money nor the
authorization to buy sixth.
Take it home" Mr.. Christie was or
dered. But Christie had other plans
and carried them out accordingly. 1t
appears now that about the only way to
get rid of this 11-ton tank is for the
Army to buy it, and so fa- as Christie
is concerned, he is evidently satisfied to
leave it Iparked where it is until Con-
gress authorizes its purchase.

COTTON STATISTICS
Jobs TO Be GIVEN
TO TRAINED MEN
President Signs Order PIac-
ing Special Agents on
Competitive Basis.
STATUS OF 767 Affected;
TESTS TO BE HELD SOON
Ruling Believed Move to Bring
About Maximum Efficiency
on Federal Pay Rolls.

The proposal to place Federal Office
seekers into Jobs here and in the field
without passing competitive civil service
tests received a setback today when
President Roosevelt signed an executive
order changing from the -competi-
tive to the competitive civil service the
special agents of the Census Bureaus
cotton statistical division.
The, order affects the status OF 767
agents in the cotton belt, and it was
announced that the Civil Service Com
mission will hold examinations In the
next two or three weeks where such
agents are required to establish reg
lister Of eligibles.
Efficiency Held Aim.
There has been tendency to favor
non-civil service status in bills Great
ing new positions during the present
session of Congress, and the Wh1te
House ruling was interpreted as a IA
vorable indication in the other direc-
ton in order to bring about maximum
efficiency on Federal pay rolls.
Director William l.. Austin OF the
Census Bureau attributed the change
to the desire OF his agency 10 get more
efficient men to collect periodic reports
of cotton ginned, cotton consumed ana
cotton held.
I'm other words. we wish to take the
Jobs away from city slickers' who have
some political pull and give them to
some intelligent farmers who under
stand cotton" Austin explained.
Work Requires Short Time.
He said that heretofore any man who
could pass a fair examination and get
a rating of 10 per cent was entitled to
the job.
The compensation Of these agents is
fixed on a piece price basis. The total
ranges from less than 500 to approx
mately 81 900 a year, the average being
about $500 per agent.
This work requires only short time
at stated periods, and must receive
prompt attention, the bureau said.
