HERE IN YEAR

Washington ranks twenty-ninth
in the cities of the United States

SOCKS
VICE SQUAD
SERGEANT
Former U. S. Attorneys Aide
and Deyoe Swap Blows
Following Raid

Fists swung as a former Assis-
tant United States Attorney
clashed with sergeant of the
police vice squad in the office Of
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Hart today.
John Sirica, who was an as
siStant under the last Admins
tration, allegedly "socked" Sergt.
George Deyoe in the eye. The
officer swung on the attorney,
and Mr.. Sirica landed several
more blows before the two men
were separated.
Client Raided
The fight started over the case
of Louis Dove, arrested twice by
the sergeant on a charge of VIOLA
ton of the gambling laws.
Yesterday Mr.. Sirica, who is
now engaged in private practice,
defended Mr.. Dove in Police
Court. The jury disagreed.
Mr.. Dove went back to his place
in the 1900 block of L st. N. W.,
and an hour later, while he was
talking to the attorney, the SER
geant again raided the place.
When Mr.. Sirica and Sergeant
Deyoe met in Mr.. Harris office
this morning, according to wit
nesseS, the sergeant accused the
attorney of calling him a liar dur
ing the trial yesterday.
Mr.. Sirica denied this, and then,
a witness said, the sergeant slap
ped him in the face.
With that the attorney dashed
out, cracking the police officer in
the eye.
Hearing Sought
Mr.. Sirica asked for hearing
on behalf of Mr.. Dove, his
client, declaring that the latter
was being prosecuted by the
gambling squad and that his
latest arrest was a "frame-up."
The request for a hearing was
made after Mr.. Dove and three
others, John S. Bremen. 46;
Frank E. Brown, %, and George
Economu, all of the 1900 block
Of L. st. N. w., were arraigned
before Police Court Judge Ralph
Given, on a charge of permitting
gaming.

$500 bond each after the judge
granted a continuance of the

D. K. BY UNIONS
ON Low WAGE
CHARGED
SubContraCtor Defends $1.1O
Hourly Rate in Dispute With
Stone Cutters Here

The charge that local labor
unions permitted an outside con-
tractor to pay wages very much
below the union scale on the Ar
lington Memorial Bridge approach
was made today in Commissioner
Gotwals' office by William Amor
oso, president of Louis Perna &
Sons. subcontractors on the Wood
row Wilson High School.
The hearing was an effort to
settle the strike of 10 Stone-cutters
who refused to work after a bust
ness agent of the union had called
them off after finding out they
were being paid $1.10 an hour.
The Commissioners have en-
deavored to settle the matter by
establishing $3.50 as the proper
rate.
Mr.. Amorso today made a vio-
lent protest against the $3.50
rate and, in the presence of a
large number of local labor lead
ers, including Arthur Schoenthal,
representing the stone cutters, de-
clared that labor unions for a
long time have known that TIN
particular type of stone work that
Perna is doing at the Woodrow
Wilson High School has been
paid for at hourly rates ranging
from $.6212 up to 81 and that
union officials have admitted on
several occasions that $1.10 is a
maximum rate.
The hearing today was con-
Quoted by Assistant Corporation
Counsel w. H. Wahly in the alb
sence of Major Gotwals, who is
i'll.
Denies Union o. X.
Arthur Schoenthal, representing
the local stone settlers union, took
exception to the charges that the
unions had countenanced low
wages as charged by Mr.. AMBROSE.
Mr.. Schoenthal said:
eff any of the firms have been
paying less than union wages, it
is in violation of the agreement
between contractors and labor
made several years ago."
Mr.. Schoenthal said there is
no doubt that $3.50 an hour is
the prevailing rate for stone work.
He said it had been set by the
Secretary of Labor and the wage
was posted on all PWA jobs in
this neighborhood.

P. j, {. SEEKING
To AROUSE CAR
OFFICIALS
Hopes to Break Silence BY
Multiplication of Plans
for Improved Traffic

The deep reasons behind the va
rious Beeler and Sager street car
re-routing proposals began to be
apparent today as the Public Uti-
tiles Commission drew a deep
breath in contemplation of the so
additional plans for street car ser
vice left at the District Building
during the two-day preliminary
hearing which closed last night.
Open sessions at which any resi-
dent with a plan or kick may be
heard are scheduled to start Sep
TENDER 10.
Seek to Arouse Company
Privately, the officials of the
P. U. C. confess that their reason
for presenting so many possible
service improvement schemes was
to arouse the Capital Transit Com
pany from it's silence concerning
improvement.
For that reason the commits
sion's engineer, Fred Sager dellE-
cred his critical views on local
street car service toward the close
of yesterdays hearing. He de-
scribed the Washington traffic
situation as "abominable," and
placed considerable blame upon
Washington motorists who, rs
said, use the streets SelfiShly.
Two plans for dealing with Wis
consin Avenue traffic were pre-
sented to the Public Utilities Com
mission by Chauncey P. Carter, at.
torney, of the $500 block Lowell
st. N. w. Both suggest discon-
tinuance of street cars on WlScon-
sin Avenue, one plan specifying
buses from M Street north; the
other specifying BUSES from Mass
achusettS Avenue north, with
various other details for tying this
bus service into the rest of the
city traffic.
Approach for Tourists
Mr.. Carter claimed that the CEN
ter poles on Wisconsin Avenue,
plus antiquated car equipment IS
a drawback to good service. Mr..
Carter said
"This is one of the main
approaches to Washington and
constitutes the first view of
the National Capital for thou
sands of tourists every week.
The street is now an eyesOre.
A fOur-lane improved highway
has been proposed between
Washington and Frederick which
will utilize Wisconsin Avenue
as its approach to the capital.
The benefits of such a high
way will be reduced if street
cars remain on Wisconsin Ave
nue..
THE advantages Of buses
over street cars in general are
well known and admitted, even
by Mr.. Beeler. But it seems
to be Mr.. Beeler's idea not to
replace street car lines with
buses until the expense of
keeping the tracks in condition
becomes too great.
"Under Such a policy, it may
be 20 or rs years before the
street cars are removed from
Wisconsin Avenue"
