OPPOSES DELAY
IN WAGE QUIZ

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert E. Lynch will oppose any
efforts of the Catalano Construc-
ton Co., of Baltimore, to obtain
a postponement Of the inquiry
into charges of wage-law viola
tions on District construction
work, he said today.
The hearing is the outgrowth
of charges that the company is
paying carpenters, bricklayers
and laborers less than the "pre-
vailing wage" on construction of
vocational school at Twenty
fourth and H Streets Northeast.
An attorney who claims to rep
resent the company has made the
suggestion that the hearing,
scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30
in the board room of the District
Building. be postponed pending
private negotiations at which the
complaints of "disgruntled en-
ployes" can be ironed out.
Lynch, however, will insist that
the hearing proceed as scheduled.
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride will hear the case.

INQUEST BARES.
GIRL WARNING

Testimony that Frances Cath
crime Allen, 20, white woman,
knew that Albert Fletcher, her
lover, was of colored blood a long
time prior to his death at her
hands Friday, but was willing to
marry him despite his blood, was
introduced at a Coroner's inquest
today by two of Fletcher's rela-
tiveS.
In her revised statement made
at the Women'S Bureau after the
shooting, Miss Allen told of re-
ceiving mysterious threatening
notes together with shame and
remorse over the affair led her
to purchase the death pistol, po-
lice testified.
Sergt. johnson Dahlglish, of the
police homicide squad, showed to
the coroner's jury three notes
which were said to have been left
under the girls door at her apart
ment, 1900 block Twelfth Street
Northwest. These notes, she
claimed, were written by a rela-
tive of Fletcher, the policeman
said.
Dahlglish also read to the jury
a letter written by her to her
mother on the eve of the tragedy
in which she said Fletcher had
shot at her three times and had
threatened to kill her if she left
him on account of his colored
blood. In the note she expressed
suicidal intent.

Senator Wants Recreation
Facilities Put Under Rule
of D. C.. Government

Following a conference with
Commissioner Luther H. Reichel-
derfer today, Senator William H.
King CD Of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee,
sent a special messenger to Di-
rector of the Budget Lewis Doug
las with a memorandum proposing
the complete transfer Of parks and
recreational facilities in the Dis
trict from the Federal to the Dis
trict government.
The plan is in accordance with
the views of Commissioner Reichel-
derfer, and it is believed that Di-
rector Douglas will lend a SYM
pathetic ear to the proposition as
an alternate to the present plan
of turning the Public Buildings
and Public Parks work over to the
Interior Department.
Swimming Pools involved
Senator King vigorously opposes
the operation of the swimming
pools and parks in the District by
the Welfare and Recreational
Association of the office of the
Public Buildings and Public Parks.
Senator King said:
"I am vigorously opposed to

Advertising

Numerous questions from
druggists in Washington and
elsewhere concerning the ad-
vertising Of medicinal liquor
by druggists were answered to-
day by Attorney General Homer
S. Cummings with the state
ment that general advertising
is prohibited by law.
The Attorney General quoted
from the national prohibition
act, regulations of which still
stand, despite congressional &C
ton liberalizing the sale Of
medicinal liquor.
Advertising in medical jour-
nails, however, and by circula-
tion of physicians is permitted,
he said.
The law forbids advertising
by retail druggists but permits
it, with certain limitations, by
wholesalers.

ON BEER SIGNS

More rigid enforcement Of the
District sign regulations will be
sought by Capt. Hugh P. Dram,
director of inspections, he said
today.
Captain Dram is seeking the CO.
operation of the office of the
building inspector, suggesting that
inspectors who notice signs ap-
parently in violation of the law
or which do not carry a permit
number as required by law re-
port them.
The law requires that signs
containing more than IA square
inches require a permit if they
are visible from the street and
should have the number Of the
permit painted on their faces.
Many of the signs displayed by
beer dealers are illegal, he said.

Of CASE

FOR OCTOBER
Bishop and Secretary Freed
on ST 900 Bail in Alleged
Election Fraud

Pleas of not guilty we're entered
by Bishop James Cannon, Jr., ana
his secretary, Miss Ada L. Bur-
roughs, to an indictment charging
violation Of the Federal corrupt
practices act when they were ar
raigned today in District Supreme
Court.
Each was released under 81 900
bail. Their trial will be scheduled
during the next term of court,
which begins in october, Assistant
United States Attorney John J.
Wilson announced.
eanwhile, their attorney,
Robert H. Mcneil, stated he would
apply to the United States Su-
preme Court today or tomorrow
for a review of court action taken
thus far in the case. The indict-
ment against Bishop Cannon and
Miss Burroughs was held invalid
by the District Supreme Court,
but, upon appeal by the Govern
ment, the District Court of APP
peals upheld the indictment and
ordered the defendants must
stand trial.
While awaiting the convening
of court, Bishop Cannon sat in the
front row reading an out-of-toWn
newspaper. He continued read
ing after Justice Oscar R. Luhring
had assembled to the bench and
was reprimanded by a deputy
marshal.
Criticizes Administration
Following his arraignment.
Bishop Cannon declined to make
a statement regarding the charge
against him but declared his dis
appointment with the manner
that the press had handled a
statement made by him yesterday
regarding action taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Farley on the repeal sit
uation in the South.
The indictment against Bishop
Cannon and Miss Burroughs
charges their failure to report a
contribution to a political commit
tee which was working during the
Presidential campaign of 1928 to
defeat former Gov. Alfred E.
Smith.

WHITE CEMENT
MARKS LINES

A permanent white line, made
Of concrete, is being installed in
the center of newly paved streets
in washington where the width of
the street is such as to warrant it.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer said today that it has been
found such lines can be installed
at little or no extra expense and
that they do away with the neces-
Sity of repainting the lines.
Painted lines wear out quickly
on heavily travelled streets, he
pointed out, while the concrete
lines wear as long as the rest of
the street and always retain their
original visibility.
Streets where the new lines are
in use or being installed include
part of Constitution Avenue, E
Street Northwest, part of K Street
Northwest, Sherman Avenue and
Virginia Avenue.
