day on an embezzlement charge,
the board met in a special closed
session today and voted to dismiss
him from the post.
At the same time, it was learned,
the board agreed to offer the post
to Albert M. Bouic, former States
attorney and brother-in-law of the
accused official.
The entire matter, involving a
shortage of $4,000 in county funds,

understood. an audit of all county
accounts pertaining to the widen
ing Of Wisconsin Avenue, will be
ordered.
Vote Is Unanimous
With Frank H. Karn, president
of the board, absent owing to i'll
ness, only four members, two
Democrats and two Fusionists at
tended today's meeting, but the
vote to refuse the resignation of
Peter and order his dismissal was
unanimous, it was announced fol
lowing the meeting.
Peter rendered the resignation
late yesterday after he had been
served with a warrant charging
him with embezzlement of $4,000
of county funds in connection with
condemnation proceedings and tax
refunds in the avenue-widening
project.
Mr.. Peter, 81, who led a success
full revolt against a 16-year Demo
cratic administration during the
1884 elections, and member of
one of the county's most promi-
nent families, was appointed coun"
sci to the board shortly after the
three fusion members took office
about Is months ago.
Turns Over Check
Although he is only formally
charged with embezzling $4,000,
shortly before his arrest Mr.. Peter
appeared at the commissioners
office and turned over to Ira c.
Whitacre, clerk to the board, a
certified check for $15,941.05.

SENATE LAUDS

SERVICE
D.. c. Counsel
Gives Final Opinion
on Legislation

Amid expressions of regret
from Senate members at his res
ignation, Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman today ap-
peared before the Senate District
Committee to give his opinion on
pending legislation.
AS the result of the meeting
the committee voted to report
favorably the measure to merge
the Washington and the George
town gas companies.
1t also approved a bill urged
by Superintendent of Schools
Frank w. Ballou to raise the
grade of vocational schools as
high as Junior high schools. This
measure has already passed the
House. Mr.. Prettyman gave his
o. K. on both bills.
Gets Double Praise
Senator William H. King, chair
man of the committee, and Sena,
tor Royal S. Copeland told Mr..
Prettyman that they considered
that he had rendered faithful and
excellent service in his position
and that they appreciated the
manner in which he had conducted
himself in office.
A slight furry was created in
the committee room, crowded with
District officials and representa-
tives Of citizens and civic organiza-
tionS, by two attorneys.
During the discussion of a meas
ure to rewrite the District code,
Jesse C. Duke, a local attorney
and John NJ. Holzworth, raised a
protest.
RecOdificatiOn
Mr.. Duke charged that a bill
had been reported out of commit
tee without amendment attached
which he had suggested.
Mr.. Holzworth protested against
members of the Supreme Court
supervising recodification because,
he said:
Conditions in this city are
worse than in any other city
in this country. Young Of
tenders are sent to the peni-
tentiary for long terms when
they should have been sent to
the city Jail for misdemeanOrs.
II put the blame not only
on the District Attorney for
this condition but also to some
extent up to the judges.
II was thrown out of court
yesterday by several marshals
because 1 protested against the
action in the case of a 16-year-
old boy"
Both Duke and Holzworth filed
with the committee long state
mentS of their alleged grievances.
Hearings On Lunacy
The recodification bill was re-
ferred to subcommittee for
action.
After an explanation of the bill
to set up lunacy commission in
the District was given by Mr..
Prettyman and a detailed discus.
sion was held, it was decided to
place the bill in the hands of a
subcommittee to hold hearings be-
fore action was taken.
