DR.. Edmund Hogan, of the 1700

her to become permanently para.
lyzed by alleged negligence in ad-

accusation today.
A District Supreme Court jury,
in a verdict directed by Justice
Peyton Gordon, refused to award

Mrs. Palmer was in the court

COOPER TRIAL
POSTPONED

Trial of Col. Wade H. Cooper
on charges of misapplying funds
of the closed Commercial National
Bank was postponed until Wednes'
day in District Supreme Court
when called for hearing today.
Postponement was at the re-
quest of the Government with the
explanation that Colonel Cooper's
leading counsel, Attorney William
E. Leahy, was engaged in the
trial of another case. Colonel
Cooper voiced no protest, but in
dicated plainly that he was dis
appointed.
The indictment is based on
dividends alleged to have been
paid stockholders of the old Cont
mental Trust Company. The Gov
ernment claims the dividends had
been earned by the Commercial
National Bank and were paid out
of it's funds. The latter institution
had absorbed the Continental
Trust in a merger several years
before.

Rutland Tells How to
Guard Against Car
bon Monoxide

Put on a gas mask when you
go out to start that car on colo
mornings.
Then you can close the garage
doors and warm up the motol
in comfort and safety.
If you haven't a mask, you
should guard your life against
carbon monoxide poisoning be
fore stepping on the starter BY
propping the doors open so they
cannot blow shut.
This warning was issued today
by DR.. George c. Ruhland, Dis
trict Health officer, who said:
"The Health Department, in
a series of tests has definitely
established that it takes a
very short time to form car
bon mOnOxide gas and that its
effects are often disastrous.
GAS DEATHS INCREASE
"Several years ago the De-
partment, in a checkup on the
number of deaths by carbon
monOxide gas poisoning. was
startled to find how many per-
sons lost their lives through
their own careleSSneSS.
Every winter the number Of
accidental deaths by gas ap-
pears to be increasing. We ask
the public to cooperate with
us by keeping their garage
doors open when starting their
cars.
Carbon monoxide gas is
colOrlesS, taSteleSs and virtually
OdOrless. Before you are aware
of its creeEing effects you are
too helpless to make a move
toward fresh air. Your autOmO-
bile exhaust gas contains from
11a to 6 per cent carbon mOnOx-
ide-and its effect on the human
system is deadly"
CHECK EXHAUST LINES
Gas appliances in the kitchen OF
basement should be connected by
metal instead of rubber tubing
the doctor added.
Automobile exhaust lines Shoulc
be checked for leaks. Seeping in
to a closed car, carbon monoXide
causes severe headaches in small
amounts; death in large amounts
It is better to have car windows
open enough for ventilation even
in severe weather to guard against
the evil effects of unSuspected
carbon monoxide seepage.
When carbon monoxide is in,
hailed it replaces the oxygen in the
blood, the doctor explained. The
remedy is artificial respiration and
oxygen inhalation. The treatment
is the same as in a drowning case.
Exposure to carbon monoxide
weakens the heart. At the first
suspicion of escaping gas, all
windows and doors should be
thrown wide open regardless OF
how frigid the outside temperature
may be, DR.. Rutland advised.

EX-TREASURY
OFFICIAL
ILL IN BED
Judge Rules He Must
Plead; Held in
Bank Collapse

Despite affidavits of Virginia
physicians that John Cooke Gray.
son, former Treasury official now
under indictment in connection
with the collapse of the Park Saw
ings Bank, might lose his life if
he moved from his sick bed, Dis
trict Supreme Court Justice Daniel
w. O'Donoghue today ordered Mr..
Grayson to appear for arraign-
ment and trial on November 81.
Indicted nearly two years ago,
Mr.. Grayson demurred to the in
dictment and, while court action
on the demurrer was pending, he
became seriously ill.
Twice before, his arraignment
and trial has been postponed be-
cause of illness and on one occa-
sion a special physician appoint
ed by the court visited him in
Charlottesville, Va, to report on
his condition.
Might Endanger Life
Today George B. Frazer, coun-
sci for Mr.. Grayson, asked for
further postponement and pre-.
sented affidavits of two staff
physicians at the University Of
Virginia to the effect that his
client is suffering from harden
ing of the arteries in an ad-
vanced stage and to move him
might endanger his life.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney John w. Fihelly pointed out
that the case had been called for
trial several times and reminded
the court that there had been no
arraignment of the accused up to
this time. Justice O'Donoghue
said:
81 do not doubt the authen.
ITCHY of the affidavitS of these
physicians, but this case pre-
sents a situation different from
that which would be before us
if the defendant was afflicted
with pneumonia or some ali
ment from which he might be
expected to recover.
LITTLE CHANCE TO IMPROVE
"Mr. GraysOn's condition is
such that there seems little
likelihood that he will recover
or even improve. To grant fur
ther cOntinuanceS would be
equivalent to diSmiSSing the
case. 1 do not feel inclined to
order a dismissal and the Gov
ernment refuses to nOlle pros
the case"
Mr., Grayson, a brother of Ad-
miral Cary T. Grayson, was a
chief clerk in the national bank
examiners office and in the in
dictment is accused of giving ad-
vance information to the Park
Savings Bank when examiners
would be on their way to inves-
tigate the banks books.
In this manner, the Govern
ment claims, the bank was en-
abled to cover defalcationS
amounting to nearly a half million
dollars over a period of several
years.

purchases of the acreage neces.

The $5,50O,0O0 project, calling
for 1000 homes, will ultimately

While the first portion Of the

expansion would result in a 20

present there is no hospital for
the $4,000 residents of nearby
Prince Georges and the addition
of the new families will accentu-
ate the lack. Need of such facili-
ties was pointed out by Perry Bos.
well, chairman of the board.
IRA heads and State and
county education authorities are
to confer further on the educa-
tional requirements of the town,
following a preliminary survey
Saturday.
Meanwhile the absorption of
the available labor supply has re-
suited in a shortage on other
WPA projects in Southern Mary
land.
One Job $50 Short
With ITS men wanted to begin
an improvement project at the
Sunnyside horticultural station
of the University of Maryland,
only Is men could be found on
relief rolls who are eligible. An
other group of Is today went to
work at Glenburnie, the quota
required in this case.
Lack of workers this fall con-
trasts sharply with the surplus on
relief rolls last fall when PWA
and ERA programs were absorb
ing the unemployed.
With large private building
operations in progress, there are
few able bodied mechanics left
who can qualify for WPA jobs.
A further drawback to the
WPA program is the difference
in wages paid WPA workers and
those employed at Tugwell-town,
where the men are paid the
Washington relief scale. South
ern Maryland comes under a diff
ferent classification.
Under the scale set-up by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt, wages are in
creased according to population,
which gives common labor on
the Tugwell project $13 more a
month than the $32 allowed on
Prince Georges work. Skilled
labor has a larger variation.
Decentralization Predicted
It was pointed out that labor
naturally seeks jobs on the Tug
well project in preference to
WPA work because Of this differ
ence in wages.
Gather H. Sykes, director of
WPA work in Southern Mary
land, says he has asked State
WPA heads for a ruling, and
has been ordered to maintain
the present scale.
