essary Funds.
LAND. PURCHASE OFFICER
REASSURES PROPRIETORS
Tearing Down Structures to Start
When Money Is Available,
Officials Assert.

The program for the new Northeast

the Union Station Plaza development
went forward, took another step toward
reality today when the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission an
nounced detailed plans for the expan-
sion.
H. Tudor Morsel, land purchasing
officer for the commission, made 1t clear
that development of the Northeast Play
ground will await the securing of neces-
sary funds for its creation. Taking lines

that region who are apprehensive lest
will be new alley at the north end
at 638 Tenth street. while at the south
ern end Of the playground another new
alley will be where 6l3 Ninth street Is
located.
Morsell Issues Statement
In statement released today to the
press, Mr.. Morsell said
There Is apparently some misappre-
hension on the part of a few Of the ten
ants and property owners in Square 935,
the site selected for the new Northeast
playground, as to the immediate plans
District and the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. It Is to
clarity this uncertainty that the &C
companying plan is published, showing
the definite taking lines for the present
as well as the proposed development of
the land for playground purposes at
this time,
This square, which was selected by
the Northeast Citizens Association in
conjunction with the Playground De-
partment Of the District and the Park
and Planning Commission, Is bounded
by Ninth and Tenth, F and G streets
northeast. On the Ninth street 'front.'
age, the project includes street numbers
615 to GAL, inclusive, while on the Tenth
street side the numbers run from 6l0
to 636. inclusive. This will give the
Playground Department one and three
f1fths acres Of ground for immediate de-
velopment.
Cooperation Is Asked.
1T Is the earnest desire Of the Play
ground Department of the District and
the Park and Planning Commission to
give the children of the northeast Sec
tion additional playground facilities at
the earliest possible time, and we ask
the cooperation Of the citizens toward
that end"
The Government did not wish to oust
tenants Of the houses, embraced within
the playground area. during the Winter,
as many Of them had already laid in
their store Of coal. Tearing down Of the
structures will take place as soon as
the necessary funds become available
and the ground will then be leveled of

Denies Part in Alleged
BIackmaiI Scheme.
ATTACK ON TESTIMONY
! OF LAPIN IS PLANNED
Defendant Says He Merely Took
Case to Attorney, Believing
Claim Was Legitimate.

Norman S. Bowles, disbarred attor-
ney, who is being tried in District Su-
preme Court on embezzlement charges.
began his defense today with the an
nouncement he expected to prove he
Is the victim Of a "frame-up."
Bowles is alleged to have embezzled
s17,5oo from Christine Rock Accord
ing to testimony yesterday, the money
was paid by Edward B. Dean, ST..
wealthy real estate man, to keep Miss
Rock from suing him for an alleged
assault. A. w. Lapin, a Government
witness, testified, however, that he and
Bowles sent the young woman to Deans
home as part Of scheme to blackmail
him into paying them money.
In his opening statement today,
Bowles said he would prove that Lapin
had testified falsely concerning his part
in the alleged blackmail plot and that
Lapin had frequently attempted to
extort money from him. If there was
any blackmailing. Bowles said, the plot
was conceived and carried out by Lapin.
Bowles said he merely took the case
to an attorney. believing it to be a
legitimate claim.
Bowles Takes Stand.
Taking the stand in his own defense.
Bowles denied any part in the alleged
scheme to blackmail Dean. He said he
first met Miss Rock after the alleged
attack and that she asked him to
handle the case for her After re-
fusing at first, he said, he placed the
, matter in the hands of an attorney
with an understanding he was to re-
ceive share in any settlement that
might be made.
He testified he told Lapin the settle
ment was for $4,000 instead of s2O,0
at the request of Miss Rock who was
afraid Lapin would take the money
from her according to Bowles. He
also denied that Dean paid out s35 600
in settlement Of the case, as claimed by
Lapin-
Government Rests Case.
The Government rested its case after
placing on the stand two employees Of
the Stanley Horner Co.. who said that
in october, 1880, shortly after the al
legged embezzlement Bowles bought two
automobiles from that concern, paying
SO, 100 cash for them.
Bowles, moved for a directed verdict
of not guilty for the defendant, but
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue denied
the motion.
James E. Cassidy. called as the first
defense witness, said Lapin had asked
him mot to get nasty while testify
ing In the trial.
Thomas P. Jones. Bowles' brother-in-
law, said Lapin on several occasions
had attempted to extort money from
Bowles through him, but that Bovles
had refused to pay anything.
Quotes Lapin in Testimony.
On one occasion, he testified Lapin
told him that for $50 he could get a
letter from Miss Rock in which she
would admit receiving the money Bowles
is said to have embezzled. The latter
refused to consider the proposal, Jones
said
Attorney Albert D. Esher was said to
have received $4,000 in $1,000 bills
from Dean, of which $4,000 was turned
over to Bowles, according to the testi-
mony. Miss Rock and Lapin said they
received ST. SEQ each. The Government
contends Bowles illegally kept the rest.

COMPROMISE FIXED
|NNEW SPEED CODE
Police Cars Pursuing Sus-
poets to Be Exempt From
3O.MiIe Limit.

Police cars pursuing suspected law
violators are to be exempt from speed
limits placed on other emergency We
hicles of the District in the proposed
new traffic code to be laid before the
Commissioners Friday.
Decision on this change in the final
draft of the proposed new cede was
reached yesterday in a conference be-
tween spokes-nen for the District Traffic
Advisory Council and Corporation
Counsel w. w. Bride, who is preparing
the draft of the new code for recon-
mendation to the Commissioners. No
immediate action on the co;:e is looked
for by the Commissioners.
Agreement has been reached on
practically all other points in the
voluminous document which is designed
to bring the District code into line
with the model municipal ordinance
suggested by the National Conference
on Street and Highway Safety, as per-
fected in 1880.
Emergency Cars Restricted.
The Commissioners last week amend
ed the code to set up restrictions
on the operation of emergency cars,
lisions between such vehicles and. pri-
vate GERS. They were moved to that
act by the recent collision at Fourteenth
and E streets between an Emergency
Hospital ambulance and a private car
In which small child was killed.
Should the proposed compromise on
emergency car regulation be adopted by
the Commissioners, it would mean that
emergency cars of the District will be
limited to maximum speed of 80 miles
an hour and that they will have to
come to a complete halt at all red
stop" traffic signals. Fire engines and
fire trucks are not subject to this rule
since they already are limited to
maximum speed of IS miles an hour
under a rule by Fire Chief George S.
Watson, which has the approval of the
Commissioners.
Compromise Fixed.
The conference group yesterday in
cluded in the proposed draft of the new
code the general 30-mile speed limit for
emergency cars and added this para
provision a police officer may pursue a
person who he has reason to believe
Is attempting to escape after having
committed a felony, or violating any
provision of the traffic act, or passed
through an intersection in disregard of
a red light, or in pursuit of violators Of
such other traffic regulations as the
Commissioners may determine from
time to time"
The compromise was agreed to by Mr..
Bride, Edward w. Thomas, assistant
corporation counsel; M. O. Eldridge,
assistant director of traffic; Inspector
Benjamin A. Lamb of the Traffic Bureau
and Charles C. Collins and Edwin s.
Hege, representing the Traffic Advisory
Council.
