and Watch Are Taken by
Burglar in Home.

Hold-ups at a filling station and
shoe store, and burglary netted
thieves more than S100 last night, ac-
cording to police. Both hold-upS were
executed within an hour, each by a
lone bandit, leading police to believe the
same man may have been responsible
for both.
The robber, who entered the filling
station at Third and Kennedy streets,
held three men-Joseph Thomas Wirth,
the manager; Byron d. Diggs, an en-
ploye, and Isaac Newton, 733 Madison
street, cuStomer-at bay with gun

ter escaping in an automobile.
John Leonard Boyer, jr., manager Of
the shoe store at Oil Pennsylvania ave-

took $28 from the cash register, he re-
ported.
The burglar, who entered the home
of Charming B. King, 3007 Thirteenth
street, was frightened away by Mrs.
Evelyn King, whose shouts awakened
her husband The burglar left hur-
riedly, with about $50 in cash and a
watch, after searching dresser within
several feet of the bed in which Mrs.
King slept.
Clocks, electrical equipment and
other articles, said to be worth $3.50,
were taken from a hardware store at

Two sticks Of dynamite were found
last night in the basement of an apart

they were planted by some one who
either intended to blow up the living

bad fright.
The latter, Alexander B,ackman, has

President Hoover is going to carry
with him when he leaves the White
House one of the medicine balls used
in the morning workouts with his
medicine ball cabinet, as a memento
Of one of the real pleasures of his four
years as President.
The ball Is to be autographed by the
men who have made up this medicine
ball cabinet.
Aside from the sentiments associat-
ed with meeting each morning with the
members of his medicine bail cabinet,
the President will appreciate this
memento because of the physical bene-
fits derived. Through this medium,
Mr.. Hoover has kept physically trim
throughout his administration, and,
according to his personal physician,
Capt. Joel T. Boone, he is leaving the

Each member of the medicine ball
cabinet will carry one with him to pri-

regulation balls were purchased for this
purpose. Each ball will be autographed

ARCHITECTS PLEAD
FOR BILL PROVIDING
HOUSING REFORMS
Ask City Heads to Indorse
Plan for r. F. c. Aid In
Alley Projects.
WOULD MAKE CHANGES
IN COPELAND PROPOSAL
Measure Would Authorize Loans to
Private Corporations for
Rebuilding.

A delegation representing the Wash
ington Chapter, American Institute Of
Architects, appeared before the Dis
trict Commissioners today to ask their
Endorsement of the measure introduced
in Congress by Senator Copeland of
New York, permitting private, limited
profit corporations in the District to
obtain loans from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for the purpose of
rebuilding blighted slum and alley
dwellings.
Members of the group we're Louis
Justement, Arthur B. Heaton, Robert
F. Beresford and Delos H. Smith, repre-
senting the Housing Committee of the
architects chapter.
The Commissioners now have before
them a copy of the Copeland bill, which
is different In form in some important
aspects from the original proposal made
by the architects for such work.
Proposed Changes Outlined.
One of the important changes, made
by the chapter in the hope of answer
ing objections from other interests, Is
that such new construction of housing
as provided under the bill would not be
exempt from taxation.
Another change in the proposal would
provide for execution of possibly sub
stantial amount of work in the renova-
tion and modernization of old areas
of the city, and the amortization of the
value of such existing buildings.
The delegation explained to the Com
missioners also that the measure would
provide for the possible condemnation
Of areas proposed for such new de-
velopment, to the extent of whole
square or group of whole squares Of
property.
Called Job Relief Move.
The Commissioners also were told
the proposal of the architects would
make possible long range planning for
future new building operations for
areas now in an obsolete state, without
calling for actual construction at the
present time of large amount Of new
building.
One of the conclusions Of the dele
cation was that approval Of the meas
ure would make possible certain
amount of early construction opera
tions including modernization work
which would aid in reducing the
amount of unemployment here.
In addition to the three District
Commissioners who heard the presenta-
ton, the argument was heard by Lieut..
Robert York, an Assistant Engineer
Commissioner, and Daniel E. Garges,
secretary to the city heads.

CHANGES APPROVED
IN PROPERTY ZONES
Four Passed, Two Delayed
and Eleven Others Are
Rejected.

The District Zoning Commission has
approved four petitions for changes in
property use, deferred action on two
cases, and rejected II other requests
heard at the hearing last week, it was
reported by the commission Office today
Action was deferred on the request
of Perry Belmont, famous financier,
diplomat and attorney, to permit the
conversion of his mansion at New
Hampshire avenue, r and Eighteenth
streets, into an apartment house of a
small number of exclusive units.
Approval Is Likely.
1t was indicated at the commission
office the request would be granted
when an agreement is filed barring any
change or marring of the exterior ap-
pearance of the building. 1t was ex-
planned last week also that such an
agreement would have to be ratified
by the court before trustees of the
property would be bound by it..
The commission granted a request for
changing from residential to first COM
mercial use properly located on the
west side of Eighteenth street north OF
G street, at the same time limiting the
maximum height to 80 feet.
The classification of property on the
southeast corner of Third street and
North Dakota avenue was changed from
resident al A-restricted area to residen-
tial A-area, which would permit the
erection of an apartment house. The
height limit is 40 feet.
Height Increased.
Property on the west side Of Twenty
fourth street between Charming and
Douglas streets northeast, which has a
first commercial use was given an in
crease in height from 40 to go feet.
The commission also approved a re-
quest for a change from residential
A-area to first commercial C-area on
property near the new building line on
| the south side of Good Hope road, west

These acceptances, and others ex-
pected before the end of the week,
definitely assures the committee of the
greatest gathering of State executives
for any inaugural in the history of the
country and necessitates the putting to
work Of scores more of the members of

Governors and Distinguished Guests.
Those whose acceptances were an
ncunced today are: Gov. Henry Horner
of Illinois. Gov. Ruby Laffoon of Ken
lucky and Gov. M. S. Conner OF
Mississippi.
Nine Have Declined.
Nine Governors have declined the
invitation for various reasons and the
remainder have not yet advised the
committee of their intention. 1t Is
expected that large number Of these
will attend.
The inaugural Committee today re-
ported that sales of seats in the in
augural parade grandstands have been
unusually heavy of late, with the result
that actual sales, and reservations
which have been filed, have made such
deep inroads into the cheaper sections
that there are indications the supply
of these seats will be exhausted by the
end of the week.
Melvin D. Hildreth, executive secre-
tary of the Seat Sale Committee, also
announced that more than two-thirds
of the ST seats in the stands directly
opposite the Court of Honor, from
which President Roosevelt will view the
parade, have been taken.

remaining are in the middle price

TUCKER RELEASED
0 ON PERSONAL BOND
Man Accused of Staying
Woman Held Insane at
Time of Crime.

On the theory that he was insane
on the day Of the crime, George Pierce
Tucker, charged with Staying of Mrs.
Emma Kirk. elderly recluse, was re-
leased yesterday in District Supreme
Court on his personal bond.
Tucker had confessed that he killed
Mrs. Kirk at her home, 819 r street, on
January %. 1926. He was brought back
to Washington from the West Coast
and indicted, but jury found him to
be of unsound mind before he could be
brought to trial
Committed to Hospital.
He was committed to st. Enzabeth's
Hospital for treatment and improved
rapidly under the care of alienists
there. These ailenists, however, de-
cided he was of unsound mind at the
time he made the confession and
probably for some time prior.
The confession having been rendered
worthless as evidence because of Tuck
er's mental condition when it was made
and in view of the probability that
the man was mentally incompetent
when the crime was committed, United
not to bring him to trial yesterday
when alienists said his mental condi-
ton was such that he could be re-
leased from the hospital. Consequently,
Tucker was sent to his home in Cali
fornia after giving his personal bond
mot to repeat the offense."
Indictment is Pending.
The indictment charging him with
first-degree murder is still pending, but
it is expected Rover will nolle PROSE-
it in the near future.
Mrs. Kirk, who was 10, was found
dead in the front room of her home,
her hands and feet bound and shawl
tied over her mouth. A flngerprint
found on one of her eyeglasses was
