Former Marine Killed Try.
ing to Enter Room of
EStranged Mate.

A coroner's jury this afternoon was
hearing evidence in the fatal stabbing
early today Of Frank B. Patterson, 40,
former Marine Corps mess sergeant,
by his estranged wife, Mrs. Esther E.
Patterson, IS, when he attempted to
break into her second-foor room in
the 800 block of H street northeast.
As the former Marine tried to kick
in the room door to gain entrance,
Mrs. Patterson reached through a
panel he had kicked out and plunged
a small pairing knife into his chest.
Patterson. whom police say had
been drinking. had gone to the H
street address from his residence, in
the 200 block Of p street, to find his
l5-year-old daughter. Gertrude. who
had left her father and three younger
children to 60 to her mother.
The girl refused to come out of the
room. police said. whereupon Patter-
son announced. II will come in and
get her." and started kicking on the
door.
Collision Stops Dash.
Staggering down the steps after
being stabbed, Patterson was placed
in q taxicab by friends and started to-
ward the hospital. The trip was in
terrupted, however. when the taxicab
collided with street car at Fourth
and r streets northeast. The party
was shaken up, but no one badly in
jured. police said. Patterson then was
placed in a truck and rushed to Cas-
ualty Hospital, where he was pro-
nounced dead an hour later.
Mrs. Patterson several days ago had
sworn out an assault warrant for her
husband, charging he had struck her,
but the wrong address was given on
the warrant and police had been un-
able to serve it, they said.
Three other children. Bernard, IL;
Richard. 10. and Lucille. 4. were at
their fathers residence asleep at the
time of the stabbing. The father
went to the mothers residence Mon
day night and took the four children
over to the F street house with him,
police said.
came here from Quantico last March,
where she and her husband had been
living after his retirement from the
Marine Corps. Patterson came here
q few months later and was receiving
a pension, it was said.
Kept House for Man.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Patterson. police
said, had been keeping house here for
Walter Allen, 56, whom the Pattersons
had met while he was engaged in re-
lief work at Quantico.
Mrs. Patterson had kept the four
children with her most of the time
since coming to Washington, but the
husband, from time to time, had taken
them to stay with him.
Arrangements were being made to-
day to take the children to the Dis
trict Receiving Home. Meanwhile,
Mrs. Patterson was taken to the Wom-
ems Bureau to await the inquest.

President Approves Allot.
ment of $2,017,O83 for
City Public Works.
$4,000 LIMIT is SET
FOR CLASSIFICATION
Enterprises Costing More Will Be
Under Jurisdiction of
P. W. A. Set-up.

Coincident with President Roose-
velt's announcement this morning
that he has placed his personal ap-
proval upon the recommendations re-
ceived Monday from the Federal Allot-
ment Board for S2,017083 worth of
work relief projects in the District OF
Columbia Commissioner George Allen
announced that he expects to start
EMPLOYMENT of about $500 men on
July Is.
OF most national interest in con-
nection with the work-relief program
was the action of the President this
morning in establishing classification
limits to determine whether projects
shall come under jurisdiction of the
Public Works Administration or the
Works Progress Administration. In
this respect the figure of $4,000 was
set as the determining factor, with
projects costing more than this
amount to fall within the jurisdiction
of the Public Works Administration,
while those of lesser dollar value
would be handled by the Works
Progress Administration.
In this latter group, also, will fal
non-construction projects of a type
designed to assure employment prln-
cipally to clerical. professional and
white collar classes.
The President repeated his expecta-
ton that the peak of employment to
be provided by the S4,000.000, 900
program will be reached in November.
Rules Controlling Loans.
The President continued his defini-
ton of the work by saying that all
applications involving loans for con-
struction of public works shall be suo-
mitted to the Public Works Admin
istration. Also, that applications for
loans and grants for public works
projects defined by him as within the
jurisdiction of p w. A. should be
filed at the Office of the P. w. A. State
director in the State in which it IS
proposed to build the project.
Mr.. Roosevelt added that projects
for slum clearance and low rent hous-
ing shall be carried on by the housing
division of the Public Works Admins
tration as heretofore. To clarity
further any misunderstanding the
President has directed that any appli-
cation for allotment rejected by the
P. w. A. shall be submitted immedi-
ately to the Works Progress Admins
tration and that projects other than
those defined as being within the
jurisdiction of the P. w. A. shall be
submitted to the Works Progress Ad-
ministration.
The Presidents work definition, as
stated today. does not govern applica-
tions involving projects falling within
the jurisdiction of any other Federal
agency. These applications will con-
tinue to be handled as they have been
up to the present time. The Presi-
dents explanation of this statement
defining the types Of applications and
work to be considered by the agencies
was, he said, signed by the Federal

Works, the Works Progress admins

PRESIDENT SIGNS
open BAR" BILL
District Buyers Can See
Liquor Mixed-Must
Sit for Drinks.

The bill permitting the open bar"
in places where alcoholic beverages
are served was signed today by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The bill, known as H. r. 5000, and
which amends the act governing the
sale of alcoholic beverages in this city,
does not compel the mixing of drinks
in public, but permits those who pre-
fer it.
President Roosevelt made it known
several days ago that he would sign
this measure, saying he preferred the
mixing of drinks where they can be
seen by the buyer and that it would
be best for customers to see the label
Effective at Once.
The bill becomes Immediately effec-
tive with the Presidents signature.
Chairman George w. Offutt of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board is
sued a word of warning that under
the change in the liquor law, drinking
of hard liquor still will be permitted
only when guests are seated at tables
Guests at licensed places may not
consume hard liquor drinks while
standing before counters or seated be-
fore counters, he said. This provision
of the liquor law, Of1utt said, will be
strictly enforced. If this is accom-
plished, he believes there will be no
return to old-time bar room con-
ditions
Wine Service at Counters.
Only beer and light wines may be
consumed at counters.
Offutt SAID under the abolition of
the "hiddeh bar" proprietors of
licensed places could mix and pour
drinks at tables as well as at service
bars. A notice of the change of law
will be sent by the board to licensees.
Offutt has abandoned his proposal to
require mixing of drinks at special
mixing bars because of the opposition
of Commissioner Allen.
