MORE .BELTSVILLE
SHIFTS EXPECTED
Shake-Up Due to Continue at
u. S. Farm as Result Of
Probe.

As q result Of the tangled BeltSville
experimental farm situation and ex-
cessive expenditures, one veteran Of
fetal Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture has resigned, another has been
denoted and three subordinates sus-
pended for one month without pay.
Department officials explained the
shakeup Is only the beginning OF a
Reconstruction period" at Beltsville,
which Undersecretary Tugwell plans
to make q model farm, and that other
personnel changes are likely. The
changes resulted from an audit OF the
books at Beltsville and an tnvestiga-
ton by p. w. A. officialS.
B. F. Brandon, superintendent Of
the animal husbandry section Of the
farm, has resigned. He has been an
employe of the department for several
years. v. H. Sehorn has been de-
NOTED from chief clerk in the animal
husbandry division to minor position
In the personnel Office Of the Bureau
Of Animal Industry. N. A. Olmstead,
former assistant chief clerk, has been
given Sehorn's post.
Before he resigned, 1t was said TO-
day, Brandon was succeeded at the
Beltsville farm by II. G. Butterfeld,
former superintendent Of the Arling-
ton Experimental Station.
The first change in personnel at
Beltsville as O result of the exposure
occurred some time ago when Earl
Sheets. former chief of animal in
dustry In charge Of the new project,
was transferred to post in Florida.
Several months ago the Public
Works Administration was forced to
grant the Beltsville project an extra
$500, 900 to carry out plans for the
animal husbandry section of the farm.
The department officials had ex-
pended 81 l,000, 900 but only completed
about two-thirds of the section. As
a result, Secretary Ickes sent his
auditors to Beltsville and Agriculture
Department officials also investigated.

Allen Suggests Postponing
Meeting Until Federation
Can Go on Record.
OPPOSITION ATTITUDES
ALREADY EXPRESSED
Library and Education Boards
Oppose Plan to Give Veto
Rights to Commission.

The public hearing on the proposed
bill to give the Commissioners author
ity to direct and veto acts Of all Dis
trict boards and agencies, originally
scheduled for next Wednesday, prob
ably will be postponed until after the
meeting Of the Federation of Citizens
Associations January 10, to allow
that organization to act on the
matter.
Commissioner George e. Allen said
this morning he would recommend the
postponement and felt sure the other
Commissioners would agree. No def
mite date was suggested.
When the hearing Is held the Com
missioners are expected to have be-
fore them statements by the Board of
Education and the Board of Trustees
of the Public Library. The school
board meets this afternoon. Its mem
bers have expressed strong opposition
to the bill. DR.. George F. Bowerman,
librarian Of the Public Library, in
formed the Commissioners the Board
Of Library Trustees will meet tomor-
row and discuss the measure.
La Roe Files Protest.
The latest protest received at the
District Building against the bill was
from Wilbur H. La Roe, member Of
the Parole Board. He wrote:
Our unanimous opinion Is that
the Parole Board must be completely
independent and that such inde-
pendence Is indispensable to the sue
cessful working of the parole sys-
tenn"
LIE Roe consistently has opposed
outside interference in the functioning
Of the Parole Board.
Opposition to giving the Commis-
sioners enhanced powers over the
commission on licensure healing arts
practice act, which controls the prac-
tice of medicine In the District, was
contained in a Letter received from
DR.. Edward J. Schwartz, secretary
treasurer of the commission.
Congress Passed Act in 1929.
He recommended that "inasmuch as
the act governing the healing arts is
one enacted by the Congress in 1929
and that it is now functioning with
satisfaction, that no change be made.
Elwood Street, director Of public
welfare, on the other hand, heartily
approved the bill.
Il can see no reason" he said. why
the Commissioners should not appoint
the school and library boards. be-
neve that where public funds are pro-
vided, there also should public re-
sponsibility lie"
This suggestion goes even farther
than the present draft of the bill,
which does not provide for change
in the appointment Of the school or
library boards.

ALEXANDRIA JUDGE
DIES FROM POISON
DuvaII Believed Suicide.
Found in Washington
Hotel Room.
By STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan correspondent OF Inc star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, January g.
Apparently respondent over financial
difficulties. Judge Frederick G. Du-
vail, so, of the Alexandria Police and
Civil Court, died at Emergency Hos
pital in Washington last night from
effects of poison believed to have
been self administered.
The Judge was found late yeSter-
day afternoon in a semi-conscious
condition on the floor of his room in
Washington hotel by Detective Sergt.
Edgar Sims of the Alexandria police,
whom he had called from this city.
He had been missing since Satur-
day, and had not occupied his bench
since Friday morning.
Called Detective.
Judge Duvan called Sims at 4:30
pm, asking If he would do him
a favor by coming to the hotel, the
officer said. When he arrived at the
hotel a half hour later, the jurist told
him he had taken a whole box of
Is poison tablets, and intimated finan-
cial difficulties as the reason for his
act, Sims stated. Sims called a doctor
and the Emergency Hospital ambu-
lance. Duvall died at the hospital at
BIS pm.
The jurist had registered at the hotel
as ''R. S. Scott, Baltimore" on Monday
morning, having no baggage and pay
ing in advance for his room, the clerk
said.
Judge Duvan started his second
term as police justice on January l,
1884. He came to this city shortly
after the World War from Louisa, Va,
where he had been practicing law. as
assistant district attorney of the
United States court for the eastern
district of Virginia. In 1921 he was
first elected to the Police Court bench,
serving for four years.
At the expiration of his first term,
Judge Duvau continued to practice law
here and acted as referee In bank
ruptcy until he was reelected to the
bench in 1888. He leaves his widow,
Mrs. Gertrude Flournoy Duvall, of
near Louisa, and three daughters, Anne.
Catherine and Caroline. He was
member of the choir of historic Christ
Episcopal Church, and lived at 910
Cameron street. Funeral arrangements
are not complete.
Kennedy on Bench.
Acting Judge Harry r. Kennedy,
who has occupied Judge Duvall's bench
since Friday, was on the bench this
morning. A Judge to fill the unexpired
term of three years will be appointed
by Judge william p. Woolls Of the
Corporation Court. Indications are
that either former Judge William 8.
Snow or Acting Judge Kennedy will
receive the appointment.
