DR.. Tobin Reports Requests for
Care Totaled 1915 During

sary and other care increased heavily

DISTRICT SCHOOLS
OPEN TOMORROW
Crowded Classes to OBJ
serve Staggered Hours.
$4,000 Enrolment Seen.

Turning from carefree vacation
days, Juvenile washington will troup
back to school tomorrow.
Meanwhile all was hurry and hustle
in thousands of homes as parents
prepared some $4,000 Of their sons
and daughters for the beginning of
the Fall term in the District schools.
In many Of the institutions the
serious work of classes and lessons will
begin Immediately, while in others
students will merely be assigned to
classes and be given home work to
prepare for classes Tuesday.
The first-day enrolment this year
is expected to be about 1000 greater
than last year, probably about 1880.
r. r. Anderson, statistician for the
local school system, estimates.
$1,000 Expected.
BY Tuesday this figure Is expected
to increase to $4,000, and by Friday
to $1,000. The maximum enrolment
probably will not be reached before
mid-November when $4,000 students
are expected to have enrolled. Last
year the maximum figure was 1884.
Last year Anderson came within
81 in his estimate of the probable
first-day enrolment, but admits that
this was an unusually close guess.
He considers his 1884 estimates to
be conservative, since he deliberately
held them down In the belief that
there will be no increase occasioned
by high school graduates, who are
unable to find work, returning to
school.
When the pupils walk into their re-
spective schools, at 9 am. tomorrow,
they will find all in readiness. The
great majority of them will be handed
cards on which are written the courses
they will take and the names Of their
teachers. Before the end of the last
term students were required to indi-
cate their selection of subjects, where
there was a choice indicated.
Then they will receive their books.
In most of the high schools classes
will be brief, remaining in session
only long enough for teacher and
pupils to become acquainted and fu-
lure WOrk 10 De dSSiSueQ.
Quick Work for Others.
In the elementary and junior high
schools work will begin the first day,
Teachers reported to their respeo-
tive schools Friday to meet with super
vising officers and lay academic and
administrative plans for the coming
term, in addition to arranging to re-
ceive their pupils tomorrow.
Every school in the city, including
normal colleges and night schools, Is
expected to be at least well filled this
year, with crowded conditions existing
in several institutions.

LAB0RBODY HEAD
QUITS TOMORROW
Locher Slated to Succeed to
Post Vacated by R. A.
Dickson.

Richard A. Dickson, president Of
the Central Labor Union for the past
five years, will resign at meeting of
the union tomorrow night.
John A. Locher, vice president Of
the Central Labor Union and secre-
tary of the Building Trades Council,
probably will be elected to succeed
him, it also was learned last night.
The post of vice president, vacated
by Locher, probably will be filled by
Clyde M. Mills, now president of Co.
lumbia Typographical Union.
These important changes in the
governing body of organized labor's
principal local agency in Washington
will be the first big change in five
years. It is predicted, however, that
If Locher and Mills are elected, the
policies of the central body will con-
tinue without any great change.
Dickson said he plans to resign
because of the pressure of duties in
a new post he has accepted in the
District Of Columbia service. He is
general manager of printing projects
in the Office of William Cleary, secre-
tary of Emergency Works for the
District. 1t is understood, however,
he will not entirely sever his con-
nections with organized labor. He
will continue as a delegate to the
Central Labor Union and may con-
tinue as member of its Executive
Committee.
Locher last night said he had not
sought the new job as president OF

EXPERTS IDENTIFY
HOTEL DEATH GUN
Bullets From Melincov's
Body Fired From Weapon
Found Hidden.

BalliSticS tests definitely ident1neQ
last night that the two bullets ex-
tracted from the body of Sam Mel
incov, gambler, who was slain in a
Houston Hotel room early yesterday,
were fired from the gun found hid
den In flower pot in front of
close-by building near which one of
the suspects now under arrest was
found hiding.
With this information in hand,
police redoubled their efforts to as
certain the connection, If any. with
the local gambling racket Of Thomas
F. Tobin, said to be from Norfolk, who
was arrested in the women's rest
room of q gas station adjoining the
building in front of which the gun
was located.
Bryant (Big) Mcmahon, second
victim Of the shooting affray, was
still in serious condition in Emergency
Hospital, suffering from bullet wounds
in his abdomen, both arms and a leg.
He has consistently refused to help
in a solution of the case.
Two Guns Recovered.
Whether the same gun which killed
Melincov wounded Mcmahon had not
been learned since physicians had not
yet taken any bullets from his body.
A second gun was found in the hotel
hallway.
Three Of the four suspects arrested
soon after the shooting were still be-
ing held last night. Isaac B. Jones, 40,
Of the 1900 block of Thirty
street, well-known local bondsman,
was released in the custody Of his at
torney, John H. Burnett, late yes
terday.
Thinking at first the killing was the
outcome of a personal quarrel with
out connection with the gambling
racket, police, during their investi-
CATION, uncovered evidence which
has caused them to reverse this
opinion, Detective Sergt George
Darnall, chief of the homicide squad,
disclosed.
He said he has formed theory of
the motive behind the shooting, but
needs information from witness
now being sought to confirm its
truth. Identity Of the witness is be-
ing kept secret.
Another Person in Room.
That there was q person, not yet
identified, in the room when the
shooting occurred, was made known
by Chief of Detectives Frank S. w.
Burke. He said this unidentified sus-
pect was with Melincov and Mcmahon
yxyi1o r-rdA in q
restaurant on street to the Houston
Hotel, where they said they wanted to
settle an argument. Jones also Is said
by police to have been in the cab.
Jones told detectives he was pushed
from the hotel room, when the quar-
rel became heated, and told "this is
no place for you."
Besides Tobin, those being held for
investigation last night were Alfred
S. Pinsonault, 80, Of the Houston
Hotel, and John r. Mitchell, %, OF
the 1900 block of Massachusetts,
avenue.
Burke said Pinsonault occupied the
room opposite that in which MelincoV
was killed. Sam Berlin, alias Miller,
to whom the room was registered, had
not been apprehended late last night,
despite a police search for him
throughout yesterday.
Both Berlin and Tobin were said by
Sergt. Darnall to be known to Norfolk
police as gamblers. How long they
have been in Washington has not
been learned.
Piecing together bits of evidence,
police have come to the conclusion
six men were in the room. or just out
side the door, when the shooting
began.
