AS 'F|REBUG'

David Miles, S-year-old son of
PWA worker, who is charged by
police with setting the $4,000
fire which swept a lumber yard
at Eleventh and M Streets a week
ago last Saturday night, pleaded
not guilty yesterday before Juve.
nile Court Judge Fay Bentley and
was released on $500 bond for his
appearance on April 6.
According to Detective Sergeant
Watson Salkeld, who arrested
David, the boy told him he had
started the fire Ito keep warm"
The boys father, James, how
ever, said that police had merely
kiddded the child into admitting
he had done something smart"
whereas, he insisted, David was
with him at the time the fire
started.

! SHOT HIM.
POLICE QUOTE
D. {. WIFE
Mrs. Connolly Hears
Witness Say She
Admitted Slayinq

Although Park Policeman John
Connolly, Al, died with his hand
clasping his service revolver, his
wife told Metropolitan Police:
81 shot him."
This was the testimony given
today at a coroner's inquest into
the death of Connolly which oc,
CURED after he had been found
shot in his home in the 1900 block
of Eighteenth st. N. w., early
Wednesday.
The inquest is being held at the
District Morgue, with Coroner A..
Magruder Macdonald presiding.
The wife, Mrs. Alice Connolly,
38, listened in a dazed way while
police testified as to details of the
tragedy. She has been held at the
Woman'S Bureau since the shoot
ing. Her face plainly showed the
suffering she has undergone since
the tragic shooting of her husband
which was followed in a short
time by the taking of her son
John, 20, to Emergency Hospital,
suffering from razor slaShes. The
cutting of the son was not con-
nected with the shooting of the
father.
Metropolitan Policeman George
Mcconnell, of the Third precinct,
told of going to the Connolly home
about 2:30 on the morning after
st. Patrick's day. He said that
he found the park policeman ly-
ing on his side with his relaxed
hand about his revolver.
Mrs. Connolly, according to the
policeman, was pacing the floor
and muttering. According to Nc
Connell she said:
That's my husband. I shot
him. I guess III get the electric
, chair for this"
In addition to the son, John,
the couple has two other children,
William, II, and Jewel, 9.

FINDING
SYMPATHY
INH0USE
Budget Bureau Quota
Too Small Says
Rep. Bacon

Hopes Of local officers for OBJ
tanning a greater appropriation for
relief than the $250,000 recon-
mended by the Budget Bureau,
rose considerably today.
The deep impression the District
relief heads made upon members
Of the House Appropriations sub
committee was evidenced in the
statement of Representative Rob
ert Bacon (RO, of New York,
member of the subcommittee, who
asserted that to him "it is evident
that $25o,000 will not meet the
situation here"
Believe It Grave
While other subcommittee mem
bers would not commit themselves.
they did not conceal the fact that
they believe the problem one of
gravity, and were said by the local
relief heads who testified to have
shown unusual and sympathetic
interest in the matter. All of these
who testified said they are salts
fled their urgent pleas for more
than $250,000 will be given the ut
most consideration by the Subcom-
mittee.
1t was pointed out to the sub
committee by Frederick w. Per-
kins, a member of the Welfare
Board, that an appropriation of
only $250,000 will make it posi-
BILE only to grant relief on the pres
ent restricted basis to the cases
of unemployables now on the relief
rolls" He explained that there
are 4,168 such cases, or approx
mately 10000 people in this class.
The remainder of the 30,326
persons now on the rolls would
be dropped March 81, mo matter
how great their need" Mr.. Per-
kins added, and no more employ
ables could be given relief.
Furthermore, he told the appro-
priations group, unemployables
who have applied for relief only
since March Is or who will apply
from now cannot be granted re-
lief.
| Will carry more
House members pointed out to-
day that any sympathetic" con.
Sideration of the situation could
not fail to determine that $3.50, 900
certainly will not be sufficient to
meet the situation, and when
told of the eagerness of the sub
committee members to obtain all
possible information about the
problem, said that it is virtually
a certainty that the bill when re-
ported to the House will carry
substantially more than the $780,
900 recommended by the Budget.
Representative James P. Buch-
anan, Cd, of Texas, chairman of
the Appropriations Committee,
said he will call for full commit
tee action on the measure either
Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week. and indicated that the legis-
lation may be put through the
House within the next 10 days.

Staying CASE
NEARS JURY

Fate Of Charles F. Hisey, So.
year-old printer on trial for his
life accused of the murder of
pretty Virgie Rosella Lyttel, 20.
will be placed in the hands Of a
District Supreme Court jury to-
day.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue
adjourned court yesterday after
the prosecution had finished its
rebuttal testimony to insure that
final arguments Of counsel and
the courts instruction would be
completed today. The Staying oc-
CURED last August at the home
of the printer.
Immediately after court ad-
journed, Justice O'Donoghue con-
ferred with opposing attorneys in
his chambers on instructions to be
given the jury. The court agreed
to instruct the jurors that if they
found Hisey was hopeleSsly drunk
at the time of the killing they
could not find him guilty Of first
degree murder, the mandatory
penalty for which is death in the
electric chair.
The printers defense was based
on drunkenness and the courts
decision to instruct the jury along
these lines opened the way for a
verdict of second degree murder or
manSlaughter. The defense also
has contended that the shooting
was caused when the girl attempt
ed to break away from Hisey,
which would pave the way for an
acquittal, on the ground of acci-
dental killing.

HOUSING SPACE
NEEDED
BY u. ).
Treasury Puts a Plan
Before Congress
For Expansion

A request for additional space
to house Federal Government &C
tivities in Washington was put
Squarely up to Congress today os
the Senate Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds prepared
to conside4 bill suggested by the
TeaSury Department.
The Treasury sent a draft of the
meaSule e to Vice President Garner
yesterday and it was referred to
the buildings and grounds group
The bill was accompanied by a
letter in which justification for Lne
request was carried. The letter
said:
"Studies made by the Ma.
tiOnal Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission indicate that
a logical and necessary develop
ment of the Federal housing
problem in the District requires
the extension of the SO-called
northwest triangle into q rec
tanguIar area stretching toward
the river and nOrthwardly from
Constitution Ave. to E and +
StS."
TENTATIVE PLAN
"a tentative plan for the
future housing needs Of the
War Department and Navy De
partment prepared by the Ma
tiOnal Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission indicates the
adviSability of constructing the
War Department group in the
area bounded by Twenty-firSt
and Twenty-third, C and E
Streets, and the Navy Depart
ment group to the west of the
present location of the Naval
Hospital.
"The National Capital Park
and Planning Commission in
accord with the War Depart
ment has approved the use of
square 33 bounded by E. F,
Twenty-fOurth and Twenty-fifth
Streets Northwest, as the site
for the barracks and garage
proposed for the Headquarters
Company of the Sixteenth
Brigade.
FUTURE USE
"The squares located between
E and F Streets between the
present Interior Department
building and the prOsed site
on block 3S for the headquar-
tiers barracks should be re-
served for future development
of the Federal housing program
and should furthermore be
authorized to be acquired in
order to protect the interests
of the United States in the
development of the property to
south, east and west. in that
it would be exposed to specIa-
tive development of an expen-
sive character if not included
in the area at this time"

the thousandth time. It was over 20
years since he had brought an un-
expected and unwelcome guest home
to one Of her dinners. Now, in the
wear 1850, the whole world was up
side down. All the men stayed at
home and cooked for their wives, and
all the women had jobs and . nice
time downtown, made all the money
and brought home guests for dinner.

growled Bill when he came back to
his father in the kitchen. Il wish
she'd stop bringing women here to
inspect me. Why do I have to get
married, anyhow"
"Now, Billy" argued the old man,
'you know perfectly well you have to
marry. Your mother can't afford to
support you all your life! Besides.
you are old enough to have . home Of
your own"
"RUT, pa, I am only 23! And I did
- want to get . job or have q ca
reer, or-or something!" he finished
lamely.
Nov, Billy, be reasonable" said his
father. ."You know . mans duty Is
to be . husband and father. Why, at
your age, already had two children.
It's high time you realised that .
young mans place is at home"
The discussion had been carried On
while father Robason and his son
were putting the finishing touches to
the dinner, going back and forth from
kitchen to dining room. If the older
man secretly contrasted the masculine
prerogatives of his youth with his
present anomalous position, he gave
no outward sign Of discomfort. He
was sorry for his son, who would have
TO make his way in Q woman's world,
but he was careful not to let the boy
see him wipe his eyes on the dish
towel
They had not long to wait for the
coming Of the bread-winning wife
and mother. She was accompanied
by her secretary, . snappy, efficient
young woman, apparently still under
20. Bill had met her before and liked
her, in spite of his fear and resent
ment Of her assurance. Helen Canston
was everything which he was not and
he was naturally jealous Of her sti-
perior abilities.
-.
DINNER was none no cheerful
- though father and son loyalty
did their best to amuse the two OBJ
Hously tired business women. Bill
was embarrassed BY Helen. who stared
continually at him. When the meal
was over Mn. Robason said 10 the
men:
Leave the dishes. You ean do
them IN the morning. I want you
both to come into my study 70 W can
talk things over with Helen"
Mr.. Robason could not bear TO meet
his sons frightened eyes. Placing an
arm awkwardly about the boys
shoulders, he advised him:
TRY to do whatever she wants.
Remember, son, mother knows best!"
Mrs. Robason was embarrassed, but
Helen Canston came straight to the
point. Helen was always . direct girl,
who wasted no time In tactful ap-
proacfes. She had been born TO get
what she wanted, when she wanted it.

Mrs. Robason looked anMously ct
Bill, with . hint of sternness. Surely
the boy was not going to be contrary
now. Miss Canston was such . good
match for youth. Helen continued:
II know, Billy, that you have been
too carefully brought up to believe in
any old-fashioned love stun. We all
know that love went out when the
depression came in, 20 years ago. But
I really like you and have sufficient
income apart from my salary to sup
port you in the customary manner.
Besides, your mother has promised to
take me into partnership after We are
married. Billy" she concluded SOL
emnly, II am asking you to marry me.
This Is . proposal"
HELEN rose and hovered over him,
- insistently demanding an answer.
Bill continued to sit, head buried In
his hands, the picture Of detection.
Helen turned to Mrs. Robason:
II think your presence embarrasses
him"
Nov, Billy" said Helen. after his
mother had left him, tell me that
you will marry me just Is soon as your
trousseau can be procured"
Bill looked wildly, desperately ut
her, like q trapped animal.
Helen" he said, II can't marry
you. I can't marry any woman"
"But why not? What nonsense are
you talking?"
Because" explained Bill, now cor
nered, II am not An innocent boy, -
you think"
Helen grabbed his shoulders and
shook him roughly. Drawing both his
hands away from his tear-stained face,
she asked:
BILLY. what are you trying to tell
me?"
NO ANSWER came from the grief
stricken youth. More gently:
"I'm Hberal-minded, Billy, even II
your mother is rather fashioned.
Suppose you tell me all about it,"
1T WAS years ago." blubbered Billy,
terribly ashamed. "I won't tell you
the girls name, but it was all her
fault. I couldn't help myself. She
kissed me! Now YOU
know the worst. You know why I
can't marry you! No woman win ever
want me now" he added in despair.
Helen was aghast.
How many times did this happen3"
"Only once, Of coursel"
"Only once and only one girl?"
Billy nodded, too shamed to speak.
Helen Canston did generous thing.
She took his face in her two hands,
looked long and earnestly into his
eyes, chastely kissed him on his white
brow.
Billy, shall forgive your past.
Perhaps in time I may even forget
your secret. We shall be married on
the 1st Of the month"
"Oh, Helen" exclaimed Billy Is he
threw himself into her arms and

you really, truly mean you will marry
