The Supreme Court was asked
yesterday to determine whether
an employe of a Washington store
four years ago committed suicide
or met death accidentally.
1t was on September 16, 1881,
that Jesse Bowers, 26, manager of
a store in the 1900 block Seventh
st. N. w. was found dead in the
rear Of the establishment. There
was a bullet hole in his chest and
a 80 caliber revolver lay near.
A coroner's inquest reported Mr..
Bowers a suicide. S. Del Vecchio,
Mr.. Bowers employer, and the
Maryland Casualty Company pro-
tested later Federal court findings
of accidental death on the
grounds that the verdict of suicide
was correct. They are fighting an
insurance award made to Mr..
Bowers widow, Mrs. Bonnie
Bowers, under the Federal COM
pensation act.

Says:
'eLITTLE WOMEN''

Say! What do you know
about that big movie company
finally closing q deal to make 3
picture starring the DiOnne e
Quintuplets?. AT last, they've
finally cOrralIed five movie stars
who were never mixed up in q
scandal. ~
1 suppose if they give a good
performance, the Motion Picture
Academy will award them each
. gold safety.pin.
OF course, I doubt whether
the Quints will take their acting
seriously They'll probably play
their parts with their toe in
their cheeks.
I understand that the babes
will be under the supervision Of
DR.. DafOe, but I'll bet that
movie crowd will still want to
call in Cecil B. DeMille to direct
the bath scenes.
So it looks like,
1t took those West Coasters
nearly two years to realize that
anything so wonderful could be
produced outside of California.

ALLEN SETS UP
LOCAL UNIT
FOR RELIEF
Gases on Rolls Here
Must Re-register
Or Be Dropped

Federal aid for 1880 cases on
District relief rolls will be with
drawn after today in accordance
with orders from FERA head
quarters.
Tomorrow the District, under
supervision of Commissioner
George E. Allen, will set up its
own relief organization to be fl
nanced from District funds. Un-
der the new set-up, the amount
expended for the needy will be
cut to approximately one-third OF
that spent in past months with
Federal as well as District funds
being contributed.
All persons now on relief rolls
will have to re-register tomorrow
at the various District relief sta
tionS if they are tU be carried on
the District organizations rolls.
Realizing the new organization
will be swamped with applications,
District relief officials have been
carrying on investigations to cases
now on the rolls during the last
three weeks.
$3.50 UnemplOyableS
Included in the 1880 relief
cases are $3.50 unemployables,
who will have to be cared for with
District funds. Virtually all the
others are white collar workers,
$500 of whom were thrown out Of
work relief jobs when the Federal
Government withdrew its support
from the local relief field Novem-
ber /.
The white collar workers will
be transferred to WPA projects
as soon as they can be cleared
through the Federal WPA board
and Comptroller General McCarls
office.
In the current appropriation
act. the District was given a
$2,O0O,000 relief fund. This was
cut down to $1,500,000 on Noven-
ber l through contributions Of
$780, ,666 a month to augment
Federal funds in carrying out the
relief program.
Small Funds Saved
In addition to the $780, 900,
District officials have been at
tempting to salvage small ap-
propriationS made for relief work
in order to finance its new re-
lief set-up. It is this fund which
the District has to carry its en-.
tire relief program through the
remainder of this fiscal year.
Commissioner Allen has ordered
District officials to carry tran
Sients on local rolls until Mon
day, when it is expected all en-
ployableS in the transient ranks
will have been transferred to the

at Berwyn Heights. Md. Latest
figures today showed 1925 of the

ployables are still being consid.
cred by local officials.
