FAILED To GIVE.
TRIAL BY JURY
FOR THEFT
Judge Proctor Grants Writ of
Habeas Corpus, Abates
Six Months Sentence

Failure of Juvenile Court Judge
Fay Bentley to give a juvenile
the right to jury trial, prompted
District Supreme Court Justice
James M. Proctor today to abate
six-months sentence imposed
on a child.
The child, Winnie May Mon
tague, IA, colored, had been ar.
rested in company with two other
children in connection with the
theft of two hats from down.
town department store.
1t was claimed that the Mon.
tague girl had no part in the
theft of the hats, but was in
company with the culprits. At
the trial last March 20, the child
pleaded not guilty when arraigned
before Judge Bentley, but was
not given the privilege of trial by
jury.
Her mother, Olga Montague,
500 block Freedman's Pl. N. W.,
engaged Attorney Roland Edwards
to seek the habeas corpus writ on
grounds that the court should
have appointed counsel for her
child in view of the seriousness of
the offense and the child should
have been given the right to waive
the jury trial.
Justice Proctor ordered the re-
lease of the child on the writ, de-
spite the claim of the Corporation
Counsel that the jury trial and ap-
pointment of counsel is not neces-
Sary in cases of that nature.

BUSES OAVO|D
GRADECROSS|NG

Warned by the bus crash at
Rockville last week in which IA
school children lost their lives,
the Public Utilities Commission
today ordered the Hyattsville
Laurel bus line to change its
route to avoid the grade crossing
over the tracks of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at Michigan
Avenue Northeast.
Under the order the buses will
travel along Michigan Avenue to
Tenth Street, south on Tenth
Street to Monroe Street and over
the Monroe Street bridge.
The order will become effective
Sunday. Elimination of the
grade crossing will leave only
one bus line here which crosses
railroad tracks. 1t was pointed
out by the Public Utilities Com
mission that this line does not
endanger life. as the crossing is
over a sideline which is infre
quently used.

SULTAN ORDERS
CAR LINE QUIT
'STALL|NG'
Wants Company to Show More
Speed in Track Changes
For Recruiting Plans

Acting to speed up track
changes in connection with street
car rerouting orders, officials of
the Capital Transit Company were
warned today against "stalling for
time"
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan de-
clared that early completion OF
the many rerouting projects under
construction is highly desirable to
correct the city's mass transporta-
ton problems. He revealed that
he ordered the traction company
to finish track changes as soon as
possible.
Guard Against "Stalling"
The Public Utilities Commission
has adopted a new procedure to
"put pressure" on the traction
company and forestall any at
tempts to slow up the work.
Monthly reports are required
showing when material was or
dered by the company, the date
Of delivery, the actual time when
construction starts and an esti-
mate of time necessary for COM
pletion of the work,
Public Utilities Commission Of
ficials were unable to estimate
the date when the rerouting orders
will be completed, but said they
will demand that work continue
at full blast.
Orders Double Shift
In order to expedite the re-
routing Of street cars made neces-
sary through the abandonment of
the tracks along P Street North
west, between Dupont Circle and
Wisconsin Avenue, Commissioner
Sultan today ordered a double
shift of workmen to complete
water main changes in the area
between P and M Streets on Wis
conSin Avenue.
The street cars under the re-
routing order will turn into M
Street from Wisconsin Avenue.
The P Street line will be replaced
by bus service.

of Newton and Monroe Streets,
west of Sixteenth Street, North
west, for the purpose of erecting
apartment houses were presented
before the District Zoning Com
mission today by representatives
of the Gunton-Temple Memorial
Presbyterian Church and the
Sacred Heart Church.
Marvin Mcnamara, attorney, ap-
pearing for the Sacred Heart
Church stated that erection Of
apartments would remove the re-
ligious atmosphere from the sec,
ton in which the church main
tains school and a convent.
The Rev. Bernard Braskamp,
pastor of the Presbyteria n
Church, stated that his congre-
cation numbers 1000 sons,
and the reZoning would interfere

Babies in Bath
Give Soapy Job
To Firemen

David Jackson, 2, had a per
fectly swell time in his bath this
morning, even if his big brother
Robert - who is 3 - and his
mother, Mrs. William Jackson
wife of scientist in the Depart
ment of Agriculture, didn't.
David and Robert were in the
tub when their mother left the
bathroom for a moment. Then
out hoped David and locked the
door. He then took his Daddy's
shaving brush and started to
have a grand time.
When mother tried the door
and found it locked she de-
manded that David quit fooling
and open that door. To which
he responded:
Dada This nickname) too
busy"
And Robert, who didn't like the
situation at all, didn't know how
to operate the lock.
Mrs. Jackson tried in vain for
an hour to get David to quit fool
ing and open the door. And
finally she called the fire depart
ment.
Up came the big red engines
and up against the house went a
ladder. In the bathroom window
climbed a husky fireman, who
winked at David and then un
locked the door.
And believe it or not, David es
capped without a tanning.

Judge Bentley is OverruIed: Child Freed
Spring Returns
After Being
A. W. L.

Spring seemed about to return
to the Capital today after being
A. w. o. L., with the mercury
standing at AZ degrees at 8 o'clock
this morning-12 degrees higher
than at the same time yesterday
and climbing slowly.
A survey of the double cherry
blossoms at Hams Point revealed
they were not damaged by the sub
freezing temperatures of yester.
day and the brief snow fall. It
is expected they will reach their
peak for Easter.
The cold wave, however, has
taken enormous toll of fruit crops.
The apple blossoms in the Shen-
andoah Valley have been slightly
damaged, while the peach crop in
West Virginia is feared ruined,
the temperature having fallen as
low as 20, with several inches Of
snow on the ground.
Ice was reported on many roads
in this vicinity and drivers were
warned to have chains available.
The highest temperature reached
here yesterday was 38 degrees, so
cold that the first baseball game
OF the season was cancelled.

Says:

Thousands of Washington
fans will be out at Griffith
Stadium today to see the
President make the first pitch
of the season. And believe me,
there's one fellow who has
plenty on the ball.
If Bucky Harris didn't take
advantage of the proximity Of
the White House, it's his own
fault. MIR. Roosevelt certainly
whipped his Senators into
shape.
OF course, the fans are 60
ing to miss that hard-hitting,
S25O,OOO son-in law Of Clark

RELIEF COSTS
HERE NEAR
AVERAGE .
Expense Per Capita and Per
Case Computed BY Street;
Drop in Burden Due

Relief costs per capita and the
amount of money spent for each
relief case in the District during
March were near the average of
80 cities ranging in population
from 100000 to 100000, it was
revealed today by Public Welfare
Director Elwood Street.
March Cost Computed
During the month relief ex-
penditureS totaled $665,629 for
the support of 22,921 cases. The
average amount spent per case
was $1,000, placing this city
thirteenth among the 80 cities
studied.
The per capita cost of relief
was $1.37, placing Washington
entie tn among the cities
judged.
Some diminution in the number
of people now on relief rolls is an
ticipated by relief headquarters
with the advent of warm weather.
Many to Benefit
Officials would not hazard any
estimate of the number to be bene-
fitted by the return of higher tenn
peratures, but pointed out that
many persons on relief have small
incomes which might be sufficient
when heat and additional clothing
is not needed.
According to Miss Alice Hill,
director of relief in the District
of Columbia, there are $1,000 per-
sons enrolled at her bureau. Elk
periences of other similar agencies
over 20-year period, she asserts,
show that there is a falling off in
relief demands during the summer

.HAZEN URGES
SCHOOL SURVEY

Construction needs of the Dis
trict school system during the
next five years would be surveyed
and a building program devel'
oped under a plan advanced to-
day by Commissioner Melvin c
Hazen. The survey, Commissioner
Hazen suggested, could be con
Quoted by the Park and Planning
Commission or could be made a
white collar project of the new
works bill. He stated:
ut seems to me that a long
term building program is high
ly desirable. However, I do not
want to commit myself too
strongly to something that may
never materialize."
DR.. Frank w. Ballou gave his
support to the survey plan with
reservations that it be restricted
to construction and replaceent
needs of the school system.
The school head stated that
an educational survey would be
desirable only in the event that
it was made by competent mem
bers of the educational profes-
sion. Referring to the construc-
ton survey, he said:
"S4ch a survey would be the
basis of determining a cOnStruc-
tive program for the replace.
ment of Out-Of-date buildings,
as we'll as the construction of
additional buildings to take care
of the school population"
A number of school projects
have been listed among the recon-
mendationS for work projects
under the new works bill.

We broke virgin peat sod Last
year for potatoes. We applied 400
pounds Of O-8-27 fertilizer per acre,
using an attachment Because Of
drouth, this fertilizer did very lit
tie last year. Now would you plow
this ground this year, or would you
disc It? How much O-8-27 would
you apply.
I would recommend that you
disc the ground, harrow 1t across
last years rows and roll 1t before
planting. Then apply at least $50
pounds Of 0-8-27 with an attach
ment. When we use a fertilizer and
grain drill with the grain rows ]
inches apart, we find that II one
spout fails to deliver the fertilizer,
the grain in that drill row does not
grow even though the fertilizer on
each side is only inches away. So
1t is important that you get some
fertilizer near the potatoes when
you plant them this year.-George
