Board to Hear
Protests Over
School Name

Residents of the Anacostia
section were given opportunity
at a public hearing today to
state their objections to the
name of Calvin Coolidge for the
high school being completed in
that area.
A special committee of the
Board of Education was to hear
the complaints during a session
in the Franklin School this
afternoon. The name desig-
mated for the school has been
calvin Coolidge - Anacostia
Junior-Senior High School,"
George C. Havenner, president
of the Anacostia Citizens Asso-
citation, protested against the
contemplated name, saying:
"There should be some sig
nificance to a schools name
something to inspire the chill
dren."

COURT
UPHOLDS RULE
ON TRUST
Refuses to Set Aside Fund
Established by Mother for
Herself and Children

The District Court of Appeals
today sustained the action of the
District Supreme Court in refus-
ing the request of Mrs. Ride l..
Dear, to set aside a $150,000 trust
fund she had set up for her bene'
fit and that of her two children.
The suit, which the higher
court today characterized as an
unfortunate family quarrel" re-
vealed that Mrs. Dear had in
herited $500,OOO from her late
husband, Victor B. Dear, and had
given nearly half to her son and
daughter, who are not named in
the suit.
To conserve the remainder OF
the estate, she set up the trust
fund in 1881 with Attorneys Wal
ter B. Guy and H. L. Mccormick
as trustees. The trust provided
that the two children Of her son
would be paid 5000 a month,
that he would receive $50 a
month, the balance to be paid to
her. The daughter was to re-
ceive the bulk of the principal
after Mrs. Dear'S death.
The case attracted considerable
attention during the District Su-
preme Court hearing when Mrs.
Dear charged one of the attor-
neys with concealing facts in the
case and her daughter with max
ing false representations to her.
The higher court opini o n
pointed out that the charge was
unjustified because at least four
drafts of the trust agreement
were presented to Mrs. Dear, it
was fully discussed before she
signed it, and she thoroughly un-
derstood the facts.
The law firm of Teele, Lesh
and Drain and Attorneys Jerome
F. Barnard, F. B. Warder and
Thomas H. King represented the
trustees.

CAPT. D v { Ms
ON TRIAL FOR
Staying GIRL
Aged Man, Found Sane, Faces
Old Charge in Shooting of
16-Year-0Id Sweetheart

William Owens, 74-year-old tug
boat captain, went on trial be-
fore a District Supreme Court
jury and Justice James M. Proc
tor today on a first degree MUIR
der indictment, accusing him Of
Staying Elsie Louise Bryant, his
16.year-old sweetheart, on July 2,
1881.
Captain Owens was indicted
shortly after the shooting which
occurred at the girls home, but
was sent to st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital after a lunacy hearing re-
vealed he was of unsound mind.
Treasure Hunted
During his confinement in the
asylum, the veteran river man
kept his attorneys on the alert
for many weeks when it was re-
ported he had buried a box OF
money under his house. Treasure
hunts were organized and his at
torneys made an unsuccessful et'
fort to obtain a court order al
lowing him to be taken to the
scene in custody to direct the
search. The money was never
found.
Several months ago, Attorney
John T.. Mullen, who heads the de-
fense, obtained Captain Owens re-
lease from st. Elizabeth's when
alienists testified he had recovered
his sanity, and he was committed
to District Jail to stand trial on
the indictment.
His defense will be based prin-
cipally on the claim that he was
of unsound mind at the time of
the killing, his attorneys say.
Lavished Gifts
Jesse H. Wilson and j. Y. E.
Allen are associated with Mr.. Null
len in the defense. The prosecu.
ton is in charge of Assistant
United States Attorney Samuel F..
Beach.
The police investigation Of the
shooting revealed the attachment
between Captain Owens and the
girl had lasted for several years,
during which time he had Law
ished gifts and money upon her.
Police stated that he shot the girl
in a fit of anger after she told him
she intended having nothing more
to do with him.

WIDOW
LOSES CLAIM

Holding that Adolph C. Lurig,
who was killed by a falling door
while repairing ornamental IRON
work for the Munsey Trust Com
pany, was only casually" en-
ployed, the District Court Of Ap-
peals today sustained the Dis
trict Supreme Court in denying
death benefits to Mr.. Lurig's
widow.
Deputy Commissioner R. j..
Hoage, of the United States En-
ploye's Compensation Commis-
sion, had awarded the claim and
the Hartford Accident and In
demnity Company, insurer of the
trust company, contested it in the
courts on grounds that an en-
ploye of the trust company. under
the compensation law, had to be
employed in the regular business
of the employer.
The court pointed out that
since he was not a member of the
banking staff, he was a casual
employe and his estate could not
benefit by the policy of compen-
Sation insurance carried by the
trust company.
The insurance company was
represented by Attorney Cornelius
H, Doherty.

BAR SUITS
Breach of Promise Actions
"UnWise," First Lady
Declares
By JULIA A. BONWIT

Mrs. Roosevelt today expressed
her disapproval of the practice Of
bringing suit to mend a broken
heart.
Commenting at her press con.
ference on legislation pending in
New York and Indiana to bring
an end to heart balm suits, the
Presidents wife declared she was
of the opinion that women really
hurt by breach of promise
would not seek to remedy that
condition by demanging money in
the courts.
Suits "UnwiSe"
She added that she never
thought it was particularly wise"
to bring suit for breach Of
promise.
In response to questions as to
her attitude on the war scare"
brought on by Adolf Hitler's de-
fiance of the Versailles Treaty,
Mrs. Roosevelt declared it has
always been her feeling that the
peace of the world depends very
largely on women.
She stated she did not think
that women had it in their power
to prevent war in the immediate
present, because of a lack of or.
ganization, but warned the women
of the world that they must
think these problems through"
so that they will be ready to meet
all kinds of emergencies in the
future.
Determinations Hit
Mrs. Roosevelt, an ardent femi'
mist, spoke briefly on discrimina'
tions against women in business
and professional worlds, condon'
ing some of them on the grounds
of economic necessity. She stated
that complete suppression OF
women, such as is prevalent now
in Germany, occurs principally
when jobs are scarce.
In response to published reports
that the birth rate is on the in
crease among families on relief,
the Presidents wife declared:
apparently the worse ecO-
nOmic condition people are in,
the more children they have"
Mrs. Roosevelt approved the an.
nouncement by certain members
of Congress that they seek their
wives opinions before voting on
legislation. describing it as "a
pity" if they didn't discuss the
problems of interest to them with
their wives.
No Fees For Speeches
She stated also, in connection
with rumors that she was to be
paid for a speech in the near
future, that she has never &C.
cepted a fee or travelling expenses
for any speech she has made since
she came to the White House. AL
though she receives many offers
of payment of expenses, she al.
ways refuses them, she said.
Money that she receives for
writing and her radio speeches,
she turns over to charitable move
mentS, she stated.

in a surprisingly short time the new

out of the main entrance, and when
finally that back passage opened II
was beneath an overhanging rock on
the Green Meadow side of the old
stone wall, and there wasn't q tell

to it. Altogether it was a most salts

But as Johnny and Polly were on
friendly terms with Jimmy and all
his family, there was no objection to
them as near neighbors.
We'll never have any trouble with
them," said Polly, "and that is more
than would be likely if some of our
own kind were such near neighbors." !"

THERE are many places in variou,
counties Of England named Lit
tleton. 1t is believed that the sur
name originated from one OF these
place-names. Sir Thomas Lttleton
(then spelled Lyttelton) of County
Worcester had three sons whose pos
terity were elevated to the peerage in
each line.
The coat Of arms here reproduced
was borne by Col. Nathan Littleton,
who was in Virginia n 1885. He
served as chief magistrate Of North
ampton County and also as member
OF the House of BurgeSses from 1910
to 1852. He was connected with the
Littletons in England represented by
Lord Hatherton.
The colors represented in the coat
OF arms are, Argent, a chevron be-
tween three escallops sables. Crest
A stag's head cabosSed sable. attired
or. between the attires, buglehorn
or. hanging by a bend gules."
The escallop in heraldry had in
early times an especial significance.
One Of the Popes decreed that it
should be the charge borne only by
the truly noble-noble by birth and
character. The escallop was later
granted as a token of successful
achievement in the crusade move
ment. 1t was a symbol par excellence
in the pilgrims badge, and was worn
on the hat or hood.

Constipation due to insufficient
"bulk" IN meals.
Research shows that Kellogg's
ALL-BRAN furnishes "bulk" to ex-
ercise the intestines. ALL-BRAN
also supplies vitamin B, as well as
iron, an element of the blood.
Two tablespoonfuls daily are usu-
ally sufficient to correct common
constipation. With each meal, in
serious cases. If not relieved this
way, see your doctor.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN resists
digestion better than the 'bulk" in
leafy vegetables. How much better
to use this food in place Of patent
medicines.
