TWO PLEAD GUILTY
IN $4,000 FRAUD
Brothers Accused of Con-
spiracy Against Father
RosensteeI in Building.

Two men. accused of conspiracy to
defraud Father Charles o. RoSensteel,
80-year-old Catholic priest. of s37. 900,
pleaded guilty in District Supreme
Court today before Justice Oscar R.
Luhring.
The formal charge against the men.
Richard j. and Charles Brinker,
brothers, was that of conspiring to
commit the crime of false pretenses.
A similar charge against Miss Elsie A.
Cannon, an attorney, was dropped
after the two men had admitted
their guilt.
Father Rosensteel is pastor of the
historic St. Johns Church at Forest
Glen, Md. He will celebrate the 50th
anniversary of his ordination next
month.
Charges of Government.
The Government charged Richard
Brlnker won the confidence of the
priest in November, 1881, and then
suggested making various repairs to
the church After some negotiations,
it is alleged, Father Rosensteel con-
sented and entered into series of
transactions extending over a period
of approximately two years, which
finally resulted in his paying to the
Drinkers more than s24, 900, repre-
senting his entire savings.
The Government contended fair
charge for the work done would have
been $1,000. 1t is alleged Charles
Brinker was first brought into the
negotiations under the fictitious name
of c. j. Kay and introduced to Father
Rosensteel as an official of the COM
pany employing Richard Brinker. Miss
Cannon, it was alleged, served as at
torney to the Drinkers. who main
tanned offices in the National Press
Building, and represented them in at
least one instance when Father Rosen-
steel paid over $4,000 in cash.
Dictaphones Installed.
The indictment charged that the
priest was induced to pay the large
sums of money through the presenta-
ton of bills for labor and material
that had never been furnished and by
various other fraudulent devices. The
Drinkers were arrested in September,
1888, after Assistant United States At
torney John R. Fitzpatrick and De-
tective Sergt. Earl P. Hartman had
been assigned to the case. They in
stalled dictaphones in Father Rosen-
steers study and allegedly overheard
in this manner several conversations
between the priest and the brothers.
Justice Luhring, at the request of
Defense Attorney Thomas E. Lodge, re-
ferred the case to the probation officer
for investigation after the Drinkers
had pleaded guilty.

WISCONSIN AVENUE
TRACK BAN URGED
c. P. Carter Asks Bus Service Be
Substituted as Benefit to
Areas Residents.

Chauncey P. Carter, 3625 Lowell
street, today wrote the Public Utili-
ties Commission urging them to order
removal of all street car tracks from
Wisconsin avenue and substitution of
bus service.
This would require modification of
the commissions recent order to take
the tracks off P street and bring
street cars fren Georgetown and
elsewhere into the downtown area by
way of Wisconsin avenue and IN
street. The order, Carter pointed out,
had encountered objections because
of it's resulting increase in street car
travel in Wisconsin avenue and M
street.
Efficient bus service" he wrote,
"on Wisconsin avenue would not only
make this splendid arterial high
way and vastly improve the same
from every standpoint, but would pro-
vide quicker and better tranSporta-
tion with less detriment to the traffic
situation. Such a system, by COM
pelling abandonment of the tracks
on Wisconsin avenue within the Dis
trict could require abandonment OF
the Alta Vista and Rockville street
car lines, which is so much desired by
so many persons, both in the District
and in Maryland"
