d. C.. Mental Health Board
Asked by Act of Congress
to Code of Lq,Cs Would
Not Deprive Suspects of Rights
Under Constitution.

Establishment of a more humane
and more effective system of deter
mining the sanity or insanity of per-
sons involved in lunacy proceedings
here is the aim of the District Com
missioners in seeking enactment by
Congress of a bill to create a COM
mission on mental health.
This is one of the 10 measures ap-
proved yesterday by the city heads
as a proposed legislative program for
the District for the attention Of Con-
gress early this session.
Briefly stated, the proposed amend
ment to the District code of laws
would create a commission to take
over the cases now decided by juries
of laymen in District Supreme Court.
There would be numerous safeguards,
however. to protect the constitutional
rights of the individuals involved in
the matters. Jury trials could be de-
manded, for instance, either by the
patient or his guardians, relatives or
friends.
Effects of Trials Deplored.
District officials explained today
that one of the most serious COM
plants against the present system is
that court trials of allegedly insane
persons have a narrowing effect upon
relatives as well as having a disturb
ing reaction on many of the patients.
This parading of persons of un-
sound mind before crowds of the
idle curious who attend the lunacy
day proceedings at court is out of
date" said Thomas Gillespie Walsh,
assistant corporation counsel, who
aided in the drafting of the new
measure.
Great advances have been made
in recent years in the treatment of
persons having mental ailments. We
have gone . long way from the dog
matte determination that a person Is
merely either sane or insane Treat
ment Of persons mentally III is much

JUDGE STUDIES SCENE,
THEN FINES WOMAN $40

Which Mishap Occurred When
Testimony Conflicts.
After visiting the scene himself,
Judge John P. Mcmahon yesterday
fined Miss Katherine Judge, social
registerite of 1785 Massachusetts,
avenue, $40 for failing to heed a stop
sign at Seventeenth street and New
Hampshire avenue.
The Judge visited the scene after
hearing conflicting testimony about
an accident that occurred at the in

the establishments, which are re-
ported to be the headquarters of num-
bers racketeers.
Other centers for that form of
gambling also are believed to be
functioning in the county and are
being ferreted out by Crowley and
his men. The police activity is a
direct result of instructions issued
Monday by the county commissioners
to close all gambling resorts in the
county and keep them closed.
Paper Halls Closeup.
Evidence that the order has met
with popular approval was reflected
today in the Prince Georgian, a
county newspaper, regarded as one
of the mouthpieces of the Democratic
organization. which is published by
Frank B. Smith. secretary of the
party's State Central Committee. The
paper hailed the commissioners anti
gambling drive as move designed
to hasten the business development
of suburban Prince Georges, and
credited Perry Boswell, president OF
the county board, with taking the
lead in the fight against gambling.
Opening Here Feared.
Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of District police, expressed
the fear today that La Fontaine
might attempt to operate in WASH
ingon.
He is skeptical of reports that the
syndicate which ran Jimmy's for so
many years contemplates complete
discrimination of its gambling activi-
ties, though he said he had no facts
on which to base his conclusion.
1--WE are going to be on the lookout
for any indication he has opened up
here and will take prompt action"
Brown asserted. Il have no definite
information about him, however"

RED FABER HOLDS LONGEST RECORD
 IN BIG LEAGUES
Twenty Years With White SOx, Veteran Splitter
 Prepares For 2lst
By GEORGE KIRKSEY lIInffnd REnSc Staff C0rrsosnnndn

<Unlteu EreSS Stan COrreSpOndent) Chicago (UP)-Twenty years with the same major league Club, and getting ready for his 21st- that's the record of 45-year-old Urban (Red) Faber, Chicago White Sox venerable right-hand No other player left in the game has a record to equal Faber's for club. He broke in with the White Sox in 1914, and during his 20 years of service has just about run the gamut of baseball's expert- ences.
 Faber's greatest achievement was in 1917 World Series when he won three games from the New York Giants. In the same series he tried to steal third base when it was occupied.
 He survived the "Black Sox' scandal of 1919, which resulted in the banishment of nine of his team mates the following year. He has seen almost thousand players come and go with the White Sox, including some of the greenest rockies ever to go to 8 training camp with a major league club.
 Before he came to the Sox he pitched a perfect game for the Davenport club of the Three-I League in 1910. He did not allow a run, hit or a base on balls and only 27 men faced him. In 1913 the year he joined the Sox, Faber toured the world with the Giants and White Sox. He has played under as many managers as any player left in the game.
 During his major league career Faber has won PAP games and lost 210. Last season he participated in 36 games, is credited with win ming three and losing four. He won 20 or more games in five sea- sons, his best year being 1915 when he won 24 games and lost 13.
 He is the only spit-ball pitcher leigh Grimes has dropped out of the National League.
 When the Sox start training at Pasadena, there will be several players who were born the year Faber pitched his first major league game. Luke Appling, Sox short stop, was only three when Faber was a major league pitcher.
 The only other pitcher in the American League who has put in 20 years of service is Samuel Pond Jones, i.lso with the White Sox. Jones broke in with Cleveland in 1914, and has since played for ev- cry other club in the league ex- cept Detroit and the Philadelphia Athletics. Jones has won 222 games and lost POI during his ma jor league career. Jones is AZ, three years Faber's junior.
