FITZPATRICK OUT
AS GARNETT AIDE
Resignation of Assistant
Prosecutor Accepted After
Murder Trial Dispute.

The resignation Of Assistant United
States Attorney John r. Fitzpatrick,
submitted following his summary re-
moval from the prosecution of crimi-
nal cases after he had protested con-
tinuance of a murder trial, was ac-
cepted today by United States Attor-
ney Leslie c. Garnett.
Fitzpatrick's letter of resignation,
setting forth the reasons for his action,
was submitted to Garnett this morn
ing. Garnett refused to make the let
ter public, saying it would be sent to
the Department of Justice.
Decision to remove Fitzpatrick from
criminal trial work before Justice
James M. Proctor was made late yes
terday after conference between
Garnett and several of his subordi-
mates. Fitzpatrick was not present,
but was informed later that he was
to be transferred to civil work Feel
ing this action reflected a lack Of con-
fidence In him, he decided to resign.
Garnett announced he has recon-
mended the appointment of Samuel F.
Beach to replace Fitzpatrick. He said
he had asked the Department of JUS
tice to make the appointment imme-
diately and that Beach will be as
signed to trial work before Justice
Proctor.
The new appointee is the son of
Morgan H. Beach, former United
States attorney. He at one time served
as deputy clerk Of the court.
Fought Postponement.
Indications that Fitzpatrick might
leave the office were seen Tuesday
when the murder case against Mrs.
Mary Irene Buccolo, which has been
awaiting trial for more than a year,
was continued over his objection. He
announced then that he would disas-
sociate himself from the case If it were
continued. Mrs Buccolo has been
charged with numbering her husband,
Rudolph.
The case was postponed from No
vember 26 to December 10 at the re-
quest of Defense Attorney Wilton j.
Lambert, who had been in poor health
and sought a delay until William E.
Leahy, now involved in another trial,
could be free to assist in the defense.
Justice Proctor granted the continu-
ance, and, after a conference at the
bench, sent for Garnett, stating Fitz-
patrick was "insolent" and that he
could not talk to him. Garnett dis1
cussed the matter with the justice and
then announced he and another as
sistant, Julian I. Richards, would try
the case.
Fitzpatrick was back in Justice
Proctor's court yesterday and tried
two cases, after which the decision
to transfer him was made. 1t was
understood the trial work before JUS
tice Proctor will now be taken over

They Will Propose New Pro-
gram in Few Days.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day rejected a schedule Of telephone
rates offered by the Chesapeake a.
Potomac Telephone Co. designed to
reduce telephone bills for future serv-
ice 10 per cent. The telephone COM
pany Is expected to return with an
alternative proposition in a few days.
Members of the commission and its
staff held conference of two and one
half hours with representatives of the
company, discussing the company's
oner. At the end of the conference,
Chairman Riley E. Elgen of the COM
mission announced that the company's
proposal had been rejected.
Repeats Previous Stand.
Il told them" he said, speaking for
the commission, that we stood on our
previous statement. which was to the
effect that we would not approve any
schedule Of rates which did not adhere
very closely to horizontal 10 per cent
reduction on all classes of service ex-
cept private branch exchange service.
The fact that we rejected this pro-
posal indicates that our studies show
that this uniform 10 per cent reduction
would not have been obtained under
the schedules the company offered.
Representatives of the COMPANY
assured us that they would return
very soon with new set of schedules. 4"
Would Drop Appeal.
The present negotiations started
after the District Supreme Court had
sustained an order of the commission
putting in a 10 per cent reduction in
bills October, 1892 The company
appealed to the United States Court
of Appeals for the District, but has
since indicated its willingness to with
draw this appeal if satisfactory new
set Of rates can be agreed upon.
Both sides, are agreed that a sum
amounting to approximately Sl,00O,-
600 will be returned to subscribers in
retroactive payments of discounts back
to October, 1882. The difficulty Is to
arranged q satisfactory set of rates
for the future.

INFORMATION BAN
GAMBLERS DOOM
Lack of Law Leaves One
Weapon Against Numbers
Game, Says Yaden.

James G. Yaden, president OF the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
says that without law to stop the
numbers games the only course is
an attempt by newspapers and radio
stations to prevent dissemination of
necessary information to carry on the
racket.
Il am following the campaign
started by The Star" Mr.. Yaden said
1t seems to me the first thing to do
is to stop the circulation Of informa-
ton that is interesting only to gam
blers. Newspapers have to print the
news. But they do not have to print
information that is Of no public in
terest outside of the numbers racket
note that the radio stations, the
Washington Post, the Herald, the
Times and The Star have agreed to
cooperate with the United States at
torney in not printing or broadcasting
the numbers used in the numbers
game.
AT its meeting two weeks ago"
Mr.. Yaden said, "the Federation OF
Citizens Associations went on record
as being opposed to the numbers
racket. We stand four-square against
it. Therefore, We are back of The
Star.
This sort of thing, the numbers
game, encourages the growth of rack
cts. 1t has come to our attention
that even children are playing the
game. That must stop.
Since the only way the racketeers
can carry on then work is by using
mediums of public information, using
them as agents to total race track
numbers. it seems to me common
decency demands that public purveyors
of information refrain from playing
hand in hand with the underworld"

dictatorship by the executive branch
of the government such as now pre-
