HUNT PUSHED
IN GOODWIN
DEATH
Third Man Wanted
For Questioning in
Staying of Clerk

With no information of any i'm
portance from either Of the two
men held for questioning in con-
nection with the Staying of Mrs.
Florence Dougherty Goodwin, 49,
year-old Government worker, beat
en- to death last Friday in a room
ing house she conducted at 1902
Sixteenth st. N. W., detectives to-
day redoubled their efforts to find
a third man wanted in the battling
case.
Meanwhile scientists who have
been working with police were ex-
pected to complete laboratory
tests today which may throw i'm
portant light on the case.
Matter taken from beneath the
nails of the dead woman was sent
for examination to determine if
it were skin she had scratched
from the face of her assailant as
she battled for her life in her
room on the second floor, rear,
of the former Venezuelan Lega-
ton which she leased and op-
Grated as an exclusive rooming
house.
Former EmplOye Hunted
After striking her over the head
five blows with an iron shaker
bar taken from the basement fur
mace room, the killer choked Mrs.
Goodwin with his hands, then
smothered her with a pillow which
was still over her head when the
body was found several hours
later.
The man wanted for question
ing in the case is said to be a
former colored employe who was
discharged. Detectives pointed
out that the killer was obviously
familiar with the plan of the
building, as he must have entered
a basement door, gone to the
furnace room, taken the iron bar
as a weapon, then slipped UP the
rear stairs and to Mrs. Goodwin'S

Roosevelt High Gets
200 More Pupils Than
School Can Hold

Forecasting a record attend
ance for the local schools due to
the influx of new residents in the
District, school officials today
maintained a careful check,
counting approximately $4,000
children at their desks on the
opening day.
Intensive construction opera
tons in the area north of Sol
dierS' Home and east of Bright
wood presents the most impor-
tant problem.
Overflow Seen
First Assistant Superintendent
Of Schools Robert Haycock point
ed out that the two elementary
schools in the neighborhood. the
Barnard and Whittier schools,
will be hardly adequate to meet
the demand in the elementary
school field.
The Roosevelt High School,
which serves that community, is
already overcrowded, he pointed
out. The Roosevelt School, with
capacity of 1000 pupils, has
already enrolled more than 1900.
First-day attendance today ex.
ceeded that of last year by about
1000, and the peak enrolment
this year may reach the record
peak of between 10000 and 95,-
600, it was pointed out.
There was a silver lining, how
ever. for the downcaSt youngsters
as the Board of Education has
decreed holiday on Wednesday,
the day of the Grand Army of the
Republic parade. Officials said
they did not expect a full enroll
ment until after this holiday.
Experiment Tried
Glasses began at 9 a. m. in every
school except Anacostia Junior
High School, where a mo home
work" experiment is in progress
and students report at $50 a. m.
Later in the year as a traffic
safety measure the Board of Edu-
cation may change the hour Of
school opening either to $50 a. m.
or to $50 a. m.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, Superin-
tendent, said it will be at least two
weeks before sufficient data is col
lected to determine board action
on this matter. Other problems
yet to be settled by the board in
clude appointment of a principal
at Central High School; naming
of an assistant principal at Roose-
welt High School, and completion
of building program. which will
ease overcrowding and create
places for SIS additional teachers.
IS Candidates for Post
The principalship at Central
High School became vacant last
summer when the board appointed
DR.. Harvey Smith, principal, to
be assistant superintendent of
schools. Until a new principal is
named, L. G. Hoover will act in
the post. Fifteen persons are be-
ing considered by the board to
fill the vacant assistant principal
ship at Roosevelt High School.
The AnacoStia school will be-
come a full-fledged senior high
school upon completion of a build.

Governor of Kansas. It's a cute
yarn and I like it.
John Cobb, who is a frisky little
fellow, was scolded by his mother
for being naughty at the break
fast table.
While Mrs. Landon was telling
him that, unless he improved his
manners, he would never, never be
as nice as his father, John Cobb
said nothing. But looked as mad
as hops. ..-....,,

ran into the kitchen and found

W. C. BuIlitt there was much
gossip about the choice of a new
Undersecretary of State, William

probably be vacant until after the

A conservative from a small
Southern town, not yet blighted
by the dial telephone, found her
self last month in a big modern
hotel in San Francisco. She
wanted to call a friend. But she
had been struggling with crafty
rev phones ever since she left
home.
So she beckoned to a bellboy
and said Sweetly:
81 don't believe / can use that
phone. Tell me how it works"
"TelI you how that works."
"Please," said the conservative
firmly.
"WeM, madam" answered
the bell boy cooking his cap
over twinkling eyes, "yOu look
in the book for a number. Then
Won pick up the receiver. Put
your mouth close. Tell the

number you want. And sit
around until you get it,"
Abiectly the Southern lady
looked at the phone. It was dial

of that bellhop as long as she
stayed in the hotel.
