Staying TRIAL
IN RICHMOND
FACES MATS

Robert Mais, wounded gangster
who is fighting for his life in a
Baltimore hospital and who Is
wanted with several companions
in three cities, including Wash
ington, probably will face q MUIR
der indictment in Richmond, Va,
if he RECEIVERS.
This was indicated today prior
to a conference Of Department of
Justice agents and police officials
of Washington, Richmond, and
Baltimore.
The conference was to deter
mine which of the three cities
held the most serious charge
against the group.
Mais' fight for life, if success
full, may place him where he will
battle to escape the electric chair,
as he is under indictment In the
Virginia city in connection with
the Staying Of a Federal Reserve
Bank truck driver in a $780,
holdup.
Members of the same gang are
involved in the $3.50 holdup of
Heurich's Brewery here in Deem
Der, in the $500 holdup Of the
Globe Brewery in Baltimore, and
robbery of the Calvert Bank there
in which $4,000 was taken, police
say.
That Mais or William Davis, ar
rested with him in Baltimore, will
be brought to trial in Washington
is unlikely.
MaiS was shot six times when
police surrounded a suburban cot
tage in Baltimore and arrested
him with his profesSed sweetheart,
Mrs. Marie McKeever, and Davis.

ALLEY LAW PEN
To Be GIVEN To
MRS.HOPK|NS

Although sponsors Of the Dis
trict alley bill are giving Mrs.
Roosevelt credit for their sue
cess this session in getting the
bill through Congress, the First
Lady herself disclaims all credit.
Mrs. Roosevelt gives full credit
for the victory in the long fight
to abolish alley housing to Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, 83.year'old
Capital Socialite, who has de-
voted the past 20 years OF her
life to the cause.
Will Receive PEN
Mrs. Hopkins, although re-
Gently i'll, will be present when
the President signs the bill and
receive the pen with which he
affixes his signature to the mea-
sure. Mrs. Roosevelt said today
that she had remarked to the
President yesterday that Mrs.
Hopkins must be present at the
ceremony.
Mrs. Roosevelt returned last
night from New York where she
had been with the Presidential
party during the fleet review.
Thrills At Spectacle
She spoke today in glowing
terms of the magnificence Of the
spectacle, praising especially the
precision with which the fleet
emerged from the fog in parade
formation. She mentioned. also,
the spectacular bombing exhibit
ton, which, she said, showed how
aviation had progressed in the
past few years. The first attempt.
she recalled, resulted in the COM
plete demolition Of the planes.
She said:
81 was so scared something
would happen to them during
the exhibition last week that
didn't know what to do"
The Presidential 21-gun salute,
Mrs. Roosevelt said, wasn't so
bad" She found the fog horns
more deafening.

Many Twins Born in D. c.
Stork Shy on Triplets

One of every hundred babies
born in the District last year was
a twin.
But in the 10,1O1 births re-
corded. there were only two sets
Of triplets.
Twins, the Health Office con-
cludes, are rather common. To
be exact, of the 10,101 births, SO
were sets Of twins, 1S6 babies
in all.
But triplets are another matter
In the past five years, l929-1933
there were only six sets left by
the District stork.
The Health office does not
keep a record of how many of
these double and triple births re-
suited in babies strong enough to
survive their infancy.
Columbia Hospital officials,
however, say that the twin or trip
let's chances of making the grade,
even under the best conditions.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-06

are considerably less than those
of the single baby.
1t is not that a double or triple
birth means babies organlcally
weak, but they are much smaller.
A six-pound twin, for example, is
considered unusually large. Sin
gle babies average anywhere from
seven to ten pounds. And the big
ger they are, unless abnormally
large, the greater their chance Of
surviving.
Triplets usually are born prema-
turely. And, of course, the nearer
the birth is to the normal time
the healthier the baby.
Twins and triplets, however,
with proper care have a good
chance to survive. They need,
especially triplets. the attention
given premature babies. but mod
ern medical skill can do wonders
in bringing through even the
weakest premature"

K|DNAP SURETY
SPURNED BY
COMPANIES

NEW YORK, June 6 Q.N.S)
There isn't an insurance company
in America that will bet you will
not be snatched by kidnapers.
Lloyd's of London have become
q legend for risks. They have
wagered on the flow of the tides,
the sex of an unborn child, the
capers of q tossed coin, the winds
and the rain, the heart OF a
woman, the legs Of a horse and
the punch Of a pug.
But their American representa-
tives today suavely explained they
weren't eager to bet that any cttl-
zen would not be plucked from
his home by human burglars.
Said an executive Of Toplis and
Harding; Lloyd'S agents:
81 have never heard OF
Lloyd's underwriting any kid
MAPPING insurance. One thing I
can say is that over here we
have no preparations to under
write it."
Would Violate Law
J. j. McGrath, expert for the
New York State Department OF
Insurance, confidently declared
the police and insurance forces OF
every State in the Union would
oppose the idea. He said:
I'm New York it would be .
violation of the State insurance
law. mean there is no prOvis-
ION for it. / don't know Of any
Of the 48 States which would
permit it. 1t would start an
epidemic of kidnapping, declare
n Roman holiday for kidnaperS.
OF course, If o man meets death
or is injured during the process
Of q kidnapping, = life or acci-
dent policy might cover that"
Banks Protected
3. E. Citreon, of the Association
Of Casualty and Surety Executives.
said that If an officer Of bank
were forced to leave his home
and be rushed to his institution
by snatcherS, any loss suffered by
the bank is covered by insurance.
Mr.. Citreon explained:
But no policy makes pro.
vision for ransom. You can see
this would start a thousand
rackets by people who would
have themselves kidnapped. No,
sir. Kidnapping insurance doesn't
sound like . sound or money
