what the character, but also to impress
upon its students and all law-enforcing
officials with whom it comes into con-
tact the vital Importance OF collecting
and protecting such evidence from in

reaches us for examination. Obviously
an appreciation of what may be OF evil
Dental value at crime scene and what
may not is here essential, and 1t has
been our constant effort to develop such
an appreciation both in ourselves and
in others.
Illustrative of instances in which some
of these maneuvers have been applied
with success, we may cite the following
cases:
A man of low intelligence and no fixed
occupation assaulted a middle-aged
woman, with robbery as motive. To
stife her outcries he slipped two fingers
into her mouth and compressed her
larynx from within, causing death from
strangulation. Arrested, he retained a
calm demeanor and asserted his inno-
cence. Nothing could shake his story,
and there was naught but flimSy cir
cumstantial evidence against him. The
police who were interrogating him were
becoming discouraged. Finally one said,
"Well, let's send for an expert from the
laboratory to scrape his nails" In
stantly his attitude changed. He began
to tremble visibly and his face blanched.

far when another machine overlook
them and pistol shots were directed
toward the covering passenger.
Neither he nor his escorts, who re-
turned the fire, were injured, but an
innocent bystander was struck and killed
by bullet from the would-be assassins,
who threw away the fatal gun, a As
automatic pistol, and escaped. The
weapon was recovered by uniformed
officer who hurried to the scene and by
him turned over to sergeant who ar
rived soon after with the request that
he avoid putting any of his fingerprints
upon it, "Whadda' va mean?" said the
superior, grabbing the pistol with un-
gloved hands and extracting the maga-
zine forthwith, also with bare fingers.
And thus disappeared the only clue to
the murderer.

D. c. AID STATIONS
TO Be CONSIDERED
Relief Committee to Take Up
Question of Branches To-
morrow Night.

Steps to establish branch stations of
the District emergency reAef organiza-
ton will be considered by the Emer-
gency Relief Committee Of the Board of
Public Welfare at session tomorrow
night, it was announced today by
George s. Wilson, director of the board.
The proposed decentralization Of the
District relief organization is in keep
ing with suggestions submitted last
week to the District Commissioners by
Alan Johnstone. field representative of
Federal emergency relief administration
for this area.
Johnstone made the suggestion dur
ing conferences in which he said the
administration of relief here must be
more adequately the demands of local
unemployed and destitute. At that time
also he declared fund Of $4,000, 900
would not be too much to meet the re-
lief needs here during the present fiscal
year, judging from the present outlook
He indicated he would use his influence
to obtain additional sums from the
Federal relief fund, over and above the
Sta, 900 which the District has asked
on the basis Of public expenditures here
during the second quarter Of 1888.
Mr.. Wilson said he had in mind the
establishment Of probably four relief
stations at strategic points throughout
the District, each one under the direc-
ton of a supervisor. where applicants
Of such localities could be interviewed
as to their requirements.
Another matter to be taken up later
by District relief officials will be a
more direct coordination Of all public
relief administered here, as suggested
by Mr. Johnstone. It Is believed. this
will involve the absorption by the Dis
District of Columbia Committee on
Employment. Details OF such a plan.
however, as yet have not been mapped
out, Wilson said.

asked District Auditor Donovan and
Engineer Of Highways Whitehurst to
prepare for him.

thority to use S1,500,000 of the gaso-
line tax surplus and $685., 900 Of sur

IN PARK SAVINGS
Is Directors Make Denial in An
swer to Suit of L. Helen

Twenty-eaght directors Of the PARK
Savings Bank today denied they were
personally liable for any loss that might
result from the banks action in pledg-
ing two $500 notes belonging to one
Of its customers with the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation as security
for q loan
The denial was contained In an
answer fled by the directors to suit
brought by L. Helen Bentley, 3485
Holmead place. Miss Bentley alleged
the bank pledged the notes, which she
said she had left with the institution
for collection, without her consent or
knowledge. She had asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court to hold the direc-
tors jointly liable for any damage she
might suffer as q result Of the trans

had no individual possession or control
of the notes and that Miss Bentleys
suit did not allege any facts sufdcient
to establish personal liability on the
part Of the directors. They were rep
resented by Attorneys Joseph T. Sher-
Ter, Otis Beall Kent and Ralph B.

morgue for identification for almost "a
hours after he was drowned In the
Anacostia River yesterday while saving

Navy doctor later was sent to connrm

over his head and after swimming a
few strokes sank below the surface.
Thomas Wright ran from the water and
called for help.
Without hesitating an instant. Brosko
plunged into the water and swan

she tainted. She was quickly revived,
however
The widows plight was, by far, the
most serious Of all the applicants She
started to buy her house in 1917, she
explained, and all went well until about
six or eight months ago. when her
husband died.
Unable to support herself, she had
to do the best she could with the small
salary Of the older Of her two chill
dren. The other youngster, too small
to work, had to be kept in school.
Finally, in desperation, she borrowed
money on her home, in the form of a
second trust-just to keep things going.
Her sons salary was barely enough to
feed them, however, and she soon got
behind in her payments. Now her
home was to be sold, and she wanted
to know what Uncle Sam was going to
do about it.
Promised Immediate Attention.
She was promised her case would be
given immediate attention, and she
seemed to feel the only thing she had
to worry about then was mailing the
blank back. Loan ONCE attaches tried
to figure out some way to let her use
the Governments franking privilege,
but hasty check-up of the legislation
on the subject disclosed it wouldn't
work. So she was still wondering where
she was going to get the stamp when
she went away.
Another problem-but of an alto
gether different Sort-was presented by
an Italian applicant. Unable to make
himself understood after talking to just
about everybody in the Office, he finally
was advised to 60 to the Italian Bank
for assistance.
Most Of the applicants, however, were
average people, with average troubles
all born Of the depression. There we're
old people, young people, fat people,
thin people. Few Of them were shah
billy dressed. And. despite the economy
act, there were few Government en-
ployes.

ful Of being put to work, despite the
fact the ofhce already was showed under
