He was arrested on Federal war

was described by police as the 'prin-
cipal source of supply for dope ad-
diets on transient relief rolls.
Sought Since Saturday.
He was sought Saturday night dur
ing the week end cleanup of the Cap
ital, but was not in when Federal
agents and police raided his home. A
dragnet was spread for him, with the
result that he was arrested this morn
ing. It was expected he would be ar
raigned before United States Commits

day.
officers said they had been check
ing on Burke for two months and,
though they were reticent about dis
cussing the matter. intimated a
thorough cleanup of the Transient
Bureau would be made. They said
q number" of tranSientS are known
to be addicted to narcotics.

Purchases from Burke allegedly
were made by the Federal men
by meeting the steward near the
Transient Bureau and riding in a
taxicab with him to his home, on P
street. The two buys" were for
Sc and So, agents said. They added
heroin was the only narcotic OBJ
tained. e
Arthur S. Rosichan, Transient Bu-
reau director, described Burke as an
"excellent worker" He said an in
vestigation of his record was made

the bureau and "the information we
got was that he had been in business
down South and was quite well to do"
Police said Burke came here from
Georgia.
Rosichan said Burke occupied only
q minor job" and that his salary
from the bureau was Sl8 week.
Unaware of Traffic.
The transient director said he had
no knowledge of traffic in drugs being
carried on by the personnel of the
bureau, but added that on several
occasions addicts had applied to the
bureau for aid.
ANY time we have a dope prob
lem we call in the police narcotic
squad and let them handle it," said
RoSichan. Sometimes a man comes
to us for help and admits to the
case worker he is an addict. We turn
him over Immediately to Mansfield" +"

asked him TO come and see her.
When he got there, Richards con-
| tinued, the wife fired six shots, four
entering Buccolo's back, one smash
ing his shoulder and the sixth piercing
his heart.
When the police arrived, Richards
declared they found Mrs. Buccolo sit
ting in the living room downstairs.
She was not crying and was not hys-
terical, he said. The prosecutor told
the jury the police asked her if there
had been any trouble, and she re-
piled she had shot her husband, tell
ing them he was upstairs in the bed
room.
When the police asked Mrs. Buccolo
If she wished to make statement, she
replied, according to Richards, that
she wanted to see her lawyer first.
Didn't Give Reason for Gun.
Then. Richards declared, one of the
policemen who had interviewed her
when she was trying to purchase the
gun said to her. When I interviewed
you. you didn't tell me you were going
to shoot your husband"
II am sorry" he quoted the wife as
replying.
, Horning gave the jury an entirely
different picture of the facts surround
ing the shooting. He said Mrs. Buccolo
had asked her husband to come to her,
still hoping she could persuade him to
give up his affair with Miss Galleher
"Buccolo was furious at his wife be-
cause she had approached him and
Miss Galleher the preceding evening"
the attorney declared. when he ar
went upstairs to the bed room to dis
cuSs the matter. Mrs. Buccolo's
mother was preparing breakfast down.
stairs when she heard the husband
shout: III choke those lying words
down your throat A moment later
the shots were fired.
I'VE will show you the husband
reached for his hip pocket as he
leaped from his chair and shouted the
threat. Mrs. Buccolo, who had never
fired a gun, reached for the weapon
she had purchased the month before.
She held the gun in both hands and
suddenly it exploded. Something
snapped in her mind and she doesn't
know how many shots were fired"
Says Death Was Threatened.
Horning told the jury Buccolo. dur

to break up the affair with Miss Gal
leher, had repeatedly threatened to

one occasion during that time, he
said, Mrs Buccolo awoke during the
night to find her husband choking her
He also told how the wife, desperate
ly hoping to preserve her home had
appealed to Miss Galleher's parents
and to M E. Swing, her husbands en-
ployer, in an effort to break up the
affair.
At one time, Horning declared, Mrs.
Buccolo threatened to sue the girl for
alienation of her husbands affections.
Miss Galleher only laughed at
that" he said, land told her to go
ahead, that she only had SO cents in
the bank
this conversation, he said, and after
that reply he and Miss Galleher, both
laughing, drove away, leaving Mrs.
Buccolo standing in the street.
Horning also told of anonymous
telephone calls received by Mrs. Buc-
colo, informing her that her husband
had been paying attention to other
women. The attorney said it would
be shown the husband of one such
woman came to the Fifth street home
looking for Buccolo, but did not find
him in.

.15 ALLEY PLANS
ARE GIVEN STUDY
Sites Not Likely to Be An.
nounced Before Land Is
Actually Acquired.

Fifteen projects for rebuilding alley
sections of Washington were to be con-
sidered this afternoon by members of
the Alley Clearance Authority. If
adopted steps will be taken to acquire
the sites in preparation for redevelop-
ment of the squares.
John Ihlder, executive director of
the board, said it was unlikely an
nouncement would be made of the
sites at this time, or until the land
needed actually has been acquired. If
all required property cannot be pur-
chased under voluntary negotiation
the board will consider whether to
abandon individual sites for the
present or turn to condemnation pro-
ceedings.
Hazen Board Chairman.
Members of the board are Commits
sioner Melvin C. Hazen, chairman:
Col. H. B. Hackett, head of the hous-
ing division of the Public Works Ad-
ministration, and Arno B. Cammerer,
executive officer Of the National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commission.
The authority has available the sum
OF $5OO,000 for redevelopment of alley
areas. When he signed the bill Great
ing the agency, President Roosevelt
expressed the opinion a very much
larger sum would be needed to COM
plete alley-dwelling elimination. Ihlder
said today the agency probably would
decide when to apply to Congress for
more money on the basis of the ex-
perience in the next few months in
the progress made with the available
money.
100000 Total Cost.
A number of years ago a study by
the officials of the Park and Planning
Commission carried an estimate that
the total cost of rebuilding the zoo in
Inflated alleys would be about $9,000,-
900. It was proposed at the time that
there be an appropriation of $4,000, ,00O
to be used three times over in the re-
volving fund practice, using receipts
from sales or rents from developed
properties for additional projects.

Stone Plays Role
OF Ship Skipper

When Lewis Stone was cast for
the role of Captain Smollett,"
skipper of the "Hispaniola" in
Treasure Island" the priate-epic
playing at LoeW'S Palace Theater,
he gratified a secret ambition
which he has nursed for years.
Stone is one of the foremost
yachtsmen and sailing enthusiasts
in the motion-picture colony. He
pilots his own yacht, and between
pictures devotes most of his time
to his sea-going hobby.
81 often dreamed of doing
just this" said Stone, during
the filming of the sailing
scenes in which he pilOted the
"HiSpaniOla" for several days
in the open sea, with a full
sail rigging and crew.
"It's a jolly llfe."

Dave GouId, Film
Dance Director,
Guest Here

Hardie Meakin hosted the dra-
matte desks at an informal buffet
luncheon yesterday to greet Dave
Gould, dance director of the
RKO studios, who drove here
from the coast in four days, av-
eraging 100 miles an hour.
Dave is a Washingtonian and
ex-copy boy of The Times, who
has made a niche for himself in
Hollywood. He was responsible
for the ice ballet in MELODY
Cruise" and, even more impor-
tant, the Carioca in Flying Down
to Rio"
Mr.. Gould is a quiet, likeable,
unasSuming chap, very modest
about his achievements, even
those as revolutionary as the
Carioca idea. The next produc-
ton in which he has been re-
sponSible for the dance numbers
is Down to Their Last Yacht"
a new musical featuring Polly
Moran, Mary Boland and Sidney
Blackmer. In this he introduces
South Sea bolero, to music, by
Ann Ronell, sister of Sol A.
Rosenblatt.
Following that there will be
Gay Divorce" which has Fred
Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the
leads.
II predict that Fred will be the
Mae West of 1885," says Dave
"By that mean 1 think he will
have as meteOric a rise to fame
as did the blonde 'c'mup and see
me sometime lady. He and
Ginger are really the stars in
Gay Divorce in every sense of
the word"
Dave is a cousin of Comedian
Ben Blue, was born and raised
in the Capital. He left yester
day for New York, to take charge
of the chorus girls terpsichore in
a new Sam Harris show. And
perhaps, sell the Radio City Of
ficialS into presenting on the
Music Hall stage one of his pet
ideas. That of staging each of
his dance numbers that he has
conceived, and as finale, a new
and entirely different routine.
His contract with RKO permits
him to do whatever he likes with
his time after he has finished
four pictures in the year. A smart
fellow.

On the other end of the phone
is Charles Warren McClintock.
From whom I never hear unless I
say something he doesn't like
about Ethel Barrymore, Katharine
Cornell, Helen Hayes or some of
the other stage stars he has bally-
hooed. I seldom say anything
against them so 1 don't hear from
McClintock often. But I admire
his intense loyaltieS.
Said Mr.. McClintock leaves for
California very soon to go in ad-
vance of Cornelia Otis SINNERS

has clicked so as a radio star there
was a fear she might decide to
abandon road trips. Instead she
adds a new set of canoes to her
bijou impersonations and Wash

around the holidays for she has a
very devoted following in the Ma
tional Capital. I was with Papa
Otis when he got the news that
her first Sunday night perform
ance crossed $1,100 at the National
and was he delighted?
Mr.. McClintock mourns because
the trip will not permit him to be
within $500 miles of Detroit

be the first baseball classic he has
missed in 20 years. Meanwhile he
is busy with his product of the
