VICTORY
FOR POLICE FORCE
Shotzberger and Vessels
Held Within Rights in
Assault Charge.

The acquittal of Sixth Precinct Po-
licemen John I. Shotzberger and
Ernest T. Vessels of assault charges
in Police Court yesterday was hailed
as a victory by the Police Depart
ment. although the two policemen
probably will be required to face the
Trial Board to clear their records.
The court held that arrest of the
wrong person was not illegal II the
person arrested had attempted to OBJ
struct justice by representing him.
self to be another.
Mistaken for Brother.
After a trial that lasted four aft
ernoons and a part of yesterday. the
policemen we're acquitted by Judge
John P. Mcmahon of having as
saulted Harrison 4. Fuller. 841 Ingra-
ham street, when they arrested him,
mistaking him for his brother. Allen
Fuller. They had parking warrant
for Allen.
The evidence showed Harrison had
slipped out to the alley in the rear
of the Fuller home while all tho men,
bers of the household knew the po-
licemen we're watching the premises
for Allen. Harrison claimed he was
assaulted in the alley, at the patrol
box and while being taken to the sta
ton house.
In his decision Judge Mcmahon
said he was convinced from the evi-
dence and the demeanor of Harrison
Fuller that the latter had agreed to
represent his brother Allen while the
latter got away from the house to
reach work by o'clock
Policeman Struck First.
1t was further shown by the evi-
dence. Judge Mcmahon held, that
Harrison struck Shotzberger first
when the policeman attempted to
place the former under arrest in the
alley, that Shotzberger was within
his rights in chasing and rearresting
Harrison after his escape, that Har-
riSon was not assaulted by both po-
licemen at the box at Eighth and
Kennedy streets. as he had claimed.
and that Shotzberger was within his
rights in striking the prisoner in the
face during the ride to the station
house because Harrison apparently
struck the policeman first.
Judge Mcmahon further cited the
previous traffic arrests of both brothers
and the fact that Harrison's oper-
ator's permit had once been revoked.

ACTION TOMORROW
.ON D. c. AUTO BILL
Mrs. Norton Seeks to Speed
Liability Measure
Through House.

The Norton bill requiring financial
responsibility of motor vehicle opera
tors in the District will be the first Of
four measures to be called up on "Dis-
trict day" tomorrow in the House. It
passed the Senate two months ago.
Because Of the serious traffic situa-
ton, which is causing District Off
cialS grave concern with its alarming
number of fatalities and accidents,
Chairman Norton of the District
Committee said proper protection of
the public demands immediate pas
sage of this measure.
She has found only one opponent
of the bill while District officials,
scores of business and civic organiza-
tions. automobile associations and
street safety engineers have supported
it. Mrs. Norton feels this is impera-
tive legislation and that the people of
the District demand its passage.
Patman Willing for Debate.
Several other District Committee
members have been appealed to by
taXicab interests opposed to such leg
islation, with the result that Chair
man Patman of the subcommittee,
which considered this bill on the last
District day. asked that it be tempo
rarily withheld. Patman, however
blocking the bill and is ready to have
1t threshed out on the floor tomorrow.
Representative Hull. Progressive. of
Wisconsin, and Representative Mich
OILS, Democrat. Of Oklahoma, previ-
ously appealed to the committee to
delay action until they had a chance
to talk the measure over with object
ing taxicab interests.
The bill proposes to promote safety
on the public highways of the Dis
trict by providing for the suspension
of motor-vehicle operators license
and registration certificate in the fol-
lowing cases:
Q) If convicted of operating an
automobile while under the influence
of intoxicating liquor or narcotic
drugs; (2) if he has left the scene of
an automobile accident in which per-
sonal injury has occurred without
making his identity known; 90 if a
judgment has been obtained against
him and remained unsatisfed for
preiod of 80 days.
2I States Have Law.
1t provides that the permit and
registration card shall not be re-
turned until after the operator has
furnished evidence of his ability to
respond IN damages of certain speci-
fled amounts for future accidents in
volving life or property.
Similar legislation has been adopted
by 81 States, and similar bills have
three times previously passed the
House but failed of concurrent action
in the Senate.
Several amendments have been
drafted by representatives Of taxicab
interests which may be offered on the
floor.
The other District bills to be called
up tomorrow are: Providing for the
removal of dangerous buildings. cover
ing excess condemnations, and the
condemnation of insanitary buildings.
All of these are expected to be passed
without serious opposition.

Budget Items Refused by
House to Be Considered
3
by Committee.
MEASURE MILLION
UNDER CITY ESTIMATES
Lump Sum of $5,700,O00 Kept.
Excess Over Last Year Cut
by Salary Restoration.

A Senate subcommittee headed by
Chairman Elmer Thomas, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, will begin hearings
Tuesday morning on the 1886 District
appropriation bill which passed the
House six weeks ago carrying total
of S39,308,000.
Although this total exceeds appro-
priations for the current year by more
than 100000, the House left the
Federal share at the present lump
sum figure of S5,700,000. When the
bill WIS being considered in the
House it was estimated it exceeded
current appropriations by $l,2l0,000.
Since that time, however, Congress
has provided for restoration of the re-
manning per cent of the Government
pay cut as of April l. This will add
about 100000 to expenditures for the
balance Of the current fiscal year.
Million Under Budget.
Although the bill in its present
form exceeds current appropriations,
it is still 100000 under the Budget
Bureau recommendations. The net
increase allowed by the House over
current appropriations was to pro-
vide for the payment of full basic
salaries.
The various items disallowed by the
House in reducing the bill below the
budget figures are expected to be con-
sidered in the Senate subcommittee.
These include funds to continue
character education in the public

NOT SO CHEAP LABOR

third are eager to return to their island homes.

Repatriation is a thrilling word. But to
most Of these little islanders it will spell fall

success in what they had been told was rich
and hosptable land, they poured into eery
Pacific port. The recent Filipino migration
made up the third great wave OF unassimilable
oriental labor to wash over the western shores.
Like the Chinese and japanese immigrants
before them, the Filipino workers were well

As long as the imported Orientas did not

SLOW IN GETTING STARTED

THE housing division of the PWA, put into
operation a year and a half ago with
s15OOOOOOO at its disposal, has provided low
cost living quarters for just 124 families to
date.
This has been done through three private
limited-dividend corporations. Stun clear
ance jobs are under way in various congested
metropolitan areas, but not one of them has
been completed. Only s25OOOOO has actually
been spent on Federal projects to date.
Contracts totaling S3,5OOOOO more have
been signed. and 81 developments which will
cost 1921 100000 have been approved. Work
or these. however. can't get going until June.
This record is far from bright one. Re-
housing offers a great chance to stimulate
capital goods industries and also to achieve
a greatly needed social reform.
Unless it proceeds at a much faster pace,
however. it will do us very little actual good.

DRUNKENNESS

CTATISTICS compiled by the Methodist
- Board of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals seem to indicate that intern
perance has spread since repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
a survey Of go cities the board says dis
closes a Is per cent increase in arrests for
drunkenness in the first year OF repeal COM
pared to the last year OF prohibition. This
may be true gauge of the rise of intemper-
ate drinking among a people unaccustomed
to such liberties.
Or it may only indicate that drinkers are
frequenting public places rather than blind
pigs and therefore are more under the scru-
tiny Of law officers. Or it may only indicate
that since repeal the police are less tolerant
Of drunkenness. Doubtless all OF these factors
enter into the startling statistics which en-
phaSize the truth that repeal did not solve all
Of our liquo. problems.
IT Appeals" the board says. that where
hard liquors are dispensed through a state
monopoly drunkenness is not increasing so
rapidly as in the license states"
This statement may be the handwriting on
the wall for the licensed establishments. 1t
should warn them 10 be more strict in enforc-
ing Sobriety regulations lest they achieve the
unenviable reputation of the old saloon and
have their business taken away from them.

as a sheer investment proposition for the citi-

a $50 bond for $3.50: a slCO bond for SIS: a
$500 bond for s375, or $1,000 bond for $3.50.
The bonds can not be deprecated in

was the case with the widely held Liberty
bonds shortly after the war. After 80 days
from the date of purchase, the bondholder

WORK VERSUS MONEY

L EUGENE GRACE. who drew down SO $685.
- 600 in bonuses from the Bethlehem Steel
Co during the war years, tells the Senators
who are investigating the munitions business
that to pay an industrialist an Army officers
pay in wartime would just naturally disrupt
everything.
Greatest efficiency comes from having the
individual interested in the results of the work
he performs" he said, adding thai nothing
had ever been invented that would make men
work as hard as the lure of money.
one wonders if Mr. Grace has not done
himself and other ndustrialists an injustice.
The Army used some Of our greatest indus
trialsts in France during the war, giving
them the pay and emolumentS of colonies and
brigadier generals, and got a tremendous
amount OF highly efficient work out of them.
II is a fairly safe bet that it would have
got the same kind Of service out of Mr.. Grace
himself The challenge of the job itself can
be more potent incentive than the latest of
bonuses.
