SEEK FORMER BUTLER
IN GRAVES ROBBERY
Retired Naval Officers Home
Looted by Two Colored Men.
One Is Captured.

Police today were seeking James
White, "a, colored. former butler for
Comdr. Carl s. Graves, retired naval
officer, after he was identified last
night as one of two colored men who
broke into Comdr. Graves residence
at 3515 Idaho avenue, bound and
gagged the present butler and looted
the house for two hours before the
butler united himself and called po-
lice. White escaped by jumping out

other man, George Thomas, 80, col
ored, was captured by police.

other with a gun, Brensfield said.
Tape was stuck over his mouth, his
arms were tied, while the two men
planned to wait until / o'clock this

ness, ]. McKenney Berry. 1868 Wis
consin avenue, today asked District

against him recently by Richard A.
Harman, attorney.
Harman asked the court for an in
junction to prevent Berry from en-
gaging in activities which the plain
tiff contended amounted 70 practiciag
law.
Berry's answer, filed through the
law firm of Whiteford, Marshall g.
Hart, denied all the allegations in the
suit relating to the alleged improper
legal business carried ON by his firm.
He denied that he now advertises,
or that he ever advertised, that he

ton with proceedings in landlord and
tenant cases In the courts Of the Dis

Chest tnut Farms-Chevy
Chase Dairy to Serve Fam
lilies as Customers.
EMBASSY PREVIOUSLY
HAD MADE PROPOSAL
Development Follows Seals Query
Regarding Published Ad-
vertisement.

The Chestnut Farms Chevy Chase
Dairy today agreed to sell milk to
Washington families on relief rolls at
IL cents a quart, cents below the
general retail price, and serve the
families as customers instead Of SELL
ing the milk on contract to the Dis
trict.
Henry NJ Brawner, jr., president of
the firm, made the proposal in reply
to q question from Elwood Seal, as
sistant corporation counsel, who is
handling Commissioner Aliens plan for
providing a more adequate supply of
on relief rolls.
The Embassy Dairy, an independent
concern, made the same proposal sew
eral days ago.
The development came when Seal,
ut the direction of Commissioner Allen,
called on the dairy head by telephone
for an explanation of an advertise
ment published this morning in which
the Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase
Dairy stated it already was selling IL
cent milk to between 500 and 600
families.
Replying to questions from Seal,
Brawner agreed that the advertise
ment referred to cases in which the
District has been ordering for relief
families in special need and paying for
1t under contract.
Allen declared that such a contract
plan was far different from the offer
made voluntarily by the Embassy
Dairy, which agreed to sell and dis
tribute milk to any or all Of the % 900
relief families at II cents quart, with
out any contract, and to treat the
patronage Of such families just as they
would that of any other customers in
the matter of collection payments. To
safeguard the dairy against "chiseling"
by customers not dependent on the
District, relief officials will supply to
the firm or firms certified list Of fam
lilies on the relief roll.
Allen said the list would be prepared
rs soon as possible and predicted that
the reduced price would be in effect
by Monday. He said the object was to
enable the relief families to buy an
adequate supply of milk, which in most
cases they cannot do now because of
their limited budget.
Meanwhile, Allen has not given up
hope Of obtaining further cut in
the price. He now is waiting for a
response from the Maryland Virginia
Milk Producers Association and the
local dairies to his proposal of yes
terday that some local dairy or dairieS
be permitted to buy the so-called
surplus" milk from farmers at 20
cents O gallon and to sell this to
relief families for 83z cents quart
for fluid consumption. Diaries now
pay farmers 16 cents q gallon for
the so-called surplus" milk-which
Is used for manufacturing purposes
under the present arrangement-as
compared to a gross of 20 cents a
gallon for basic" milk, used for fluid
consumption. The quality of Sur
plus" and basic milk is the same.
Frank S. Walker, president Of the
producers association told Allen yes
terday he would submit the matter
for action by the directors of his
association.

Old Toys Sought
As Supreme Gift
For Nursery Tots
Clothing Also asked for
l25 Little Folk From
2 to 5 Years Old.

Have you any old toys that your own
children aren't using?
They don't have to be new at all,
and can even appear pretty badly bat
tered. But to some of the 125 little
children now attending the nursery
school centers they'll be just the grand
est in the world.
Robert Haycock, assistant superin-
tendent of schools, under whom the
nursery centers are operated, today
issued an appeal for kiddie cars,
wagons, velocipedes, dolls, large blocks
and "other durable toys" which would
delight the heart of children and which
are sadly needed in the sparsely-equip-
ped relief nursery centers. MIR. Hay
cock said these centers also would be
interested in receiving clothing for
children from 2 to 5 years old. Such
donated clothing, he said, should be
clean and usable.
The clothing and toys are needed
by the following schools: Corcoran,
Twenty-eighth near M street; Pea
body, Fifth and c streets northeast;
Seaton, street between Second and
Third; 8. J. Bowen, Third and K
streets southwest, and Fairbrother,
Tenth and z streets southwest.

Several Prepared Sizes Are
IncIuded-0rder Effec.
tive January 18.
THREE-YEAR FIGHT
WINS PARTIAL VICTORY
Counsel for Dealers Disappointed
by Failure of Decision to Affect
Pea and Smaller Grades.

A rate reduction on anthracite coal
from the Pennsylvania fields to WASH
ington and adjacent delivery points in
Maryland and Virginia, which is esti-
mated to run something over SAC, 900
annually, was ordered today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The cut will not become effective
until January Is and, consequently,
it was pointed out at the Offices Of a
leading dealer, consumer advantages
would be correspondingly deferred.
The commission order likewise cuts
Pennsylvania Baltimore rates, q Diff
ferential Of Is cents per long ton
2,240 pounds-being maintained.
Prepared Sizes Affected.
The new rate will apply only to
prepared sizes. From the Schuylkill
region, which furnishes about 70 per
cent Of this coal, the rate drops from
$3.2S to $500. From the Wyoming
and Lehigh fields, from 1928 to 1922.
The commission did not cut rates
on pea and smaller sizes, which are
generally $500 and $2.65 per ton.
In ordering the reduction, the Com
mission reversed the findings of its
own division 5, which several
months ago held that the rates were
not unreasonable. On the applica-
tion Of Washington and Baltimore
dealers, which for about three years
have been fighting the case, it was
reopened, and today's findings were
the result. Commissioners Mahafie,
Miller and Splawn dissented from the
order.
First Decision for d. c.
It was said today that the freight
rate cut was the first ever ordered on
coal alone to Washington. In 1922,
when freight rates generally were re-
duced 10 per cent, this commodity
took like slash.
Baltimore has been more fortunate,
the new reduction making a total Of
a cents that will have been applied
there in three years.
The estimated $4,000 annual saw
ing locally was based on consumption
figures Of prepared sizes for the year,
April !, 1888, to March 81, 1884, which
were estimated to be 302 900 tons, out
Of q total Of $4,000 for all anthracite.
John T. Money of counsel for the
Washington coal dealers today ex-
pressed the opinion that a correspond
ing rate reduction should have been
ordered on the pea and smaller sized
coal, pointing to the increasing use
which 1t Is finding, and adding that
the present rates are too high. At the
same time, he voiced satisfaction with
the commissions action, saying 1t was
q step In the right direction.

CHARGED
IN ASSAULT CASE
Girl and Man Removed to
MaryIand-CompIaint
by Defendants Sister.

Facing perjury charge in connec-
ton with their testimony, which sent
two men charged with assault to the
penitentiary, Miss Jean Kerns, 81, and
Herbert T. Newman, both of the 1900
block of Eleventh street, were turned
over to Maryland authorities today

PENDANTS. The pair did not oppose
their return to Maryland
Miss KernS and Newman testified in
the trial that there was an attempt
to criminally assault the young woman
on the return trip to Washington from
North Beach, Md. They contended
they had never seen Decatur and Zell
before the men offered them q lift
back to the city. Both defendants,
however, maintained they had been
drinking with both Miss Kerns and
Newman at North Beach, and it was
brought out at the trial that neither
defendant made advances toward Miss
Kerns until she took of the skirt Of
her three-piece beach ensemble.
