RUBBER SW|ND[ER
PLEADS TO GUILT
Pitman Admits Conspiracy
to Impersonate Gov
ernment Official.

Herman E. Pitman, Inventor" Of
the process to extract rubber from
poinsettia plants, pleaded guilty today
in District Supreme Court to charge
of conspiracy to impersonate Govern
ment official.
His co-conspirator. Frederick B.
Woodcock. representing himself as
supervisor of the Public Works Ad-
ministration's finance division, is said
to have furnished Pitman with letter
stating the P. w. A. was about to
allocate about 100000 900 for exploita-
ton of the process. Woodcock was
not connected with P. w. A. at that
time. He entered a plea of guilty
yesterday.
Displaying a letter from Woodcock
to convince prospective investors that
his plan was genuine, Pitman allegedly
obtained $4,000 from two men in St.
Louis and $500 from a New York
manufacturer.
Although Pitman began taking sub
scriptions in the Fall of 1884 for a
corporation, whose production of poin-
setta rubber was heralded as likely to
revolutionize the rubber industry, it
was not discovered that he was acting
in bad faith until March, 1885.
Meanwhile, he had interested a
French newspaper correspondent who
planned to organize a French concern
to handle the European rights to the
product and a large New Jersey manu-
facturer who seriously was considering
investment of many thousands of dol
lars. The "break" in Pitman's opera
tions came when word that he had
approached another prospective in
vestor while still negotiating with the
ST Louis people, got back to St. Louis.
In the investigation which followed
both Pitman and Woodcock were ar
rested.

D. c. AIRPORT BILL
BLOCKED BY HOUSE
New Draft Expected to De.
lay Actual Construction
at Least a Year.

The House tcdsy blocked the pend
ing District airport bill by voting.
without debate, not to agree to the
Senate amendments and send the
measure back to conference.
AS result, the measure again wil'
be rewritten. The new draft is ex-
pected to cut out authorization for any
funds for the taking of options on an
airport site and thus would delay for
at least another year any start on
actual airport construction.
The conference report on the air
port measure was called up in the
House early this afternoon by Repre-
sentative Palmisano of Maryland,
House conference manager on the bill.
PalmiSano, as result Of conference
late Monday with Chairman King of
the Senate District Committee, asked
that the House disagree to the con-
ference report and send the bill back
to conference.
There was no debate and the re-
quest was approved without a record
vote. This left the conferees without
instructions from the House as to
amending the bill. Palmisano told
newspapermen later the authorization
for option money would be stricken
from the bill, leaving merely an au-
thorization for SIC. 900 for the employ
ment of experts to aid in the selection
Of an airport site. He did not indicate
whether the $4,000 would come from
District or Federal revenues, or
whether the cost would be divided.

600. Their attitude is that If any
thing Is to be done at all it should be
done quickly.
No action was taken by the Com
missioners yesterday on Commissioner
Melvin G. Hazen's suggestion to raise
an additional 81 ,000, 900 for relief next
year by increasing the gasoline tax.
Street continued to direct his star
toward completing the records of the
INDECENT blind and dependent children.
The blind will be turned over to the
Social Security Board, thus relieving
the District of the burden Of caring
for them among other unemployables.
He also began study to reduce case
work and clerical tasks to a minimum
so the staff of the Board of Public
Welfare may be reduced in size under
the curtailed activities. Street asked
the Commissioners for permission to
furlough any employees let out, rather
than dismiss them, since many may
be returned to work when the 1887
appropriation Is made available.

UNION DISPUTE
REACHES HEAD
Carpenters and MilIWrights
Agree to Select Arbiter
in Row.

Settlement of a jurisdictional fight
that has held up work on the Dis
trict's new sewage disposal plant at
Blue Plains since last December was
in sight today as the two contesting
labor unions agreed to select an arbi-
ter to determine who should get a
STOP job.
The carpenters and millwrights' un-
ion claimed the right to install con-
veyor. They already have installed
one. The materials used, however,
caused the iron workers union to
claim the job and when the carpen-
ters refused to give it up the other
building trades walked out on strike.
Because of the bad weather since
last December there was no particular
effort to settle the dispute, but with
the weather improved as it is, Col.
Dan I. Sultan, Engineer Commission
er, called the warning parties together
for showdown.
"You men are holding up $4,000
900 job and keeping 400 men out Of
work." he told them. There Is no
dispute about wages, hours or working
conditions. The whole issue is which
union is to collect $702 to be spent in
wages. I suggest we flip coin"
That proposal was rejected by both
sides. A suggestion to divide the dozen
or so jobs at stake was also turned
down.
Because of a dispute between the
international unions, the carpenters
could not agree to arbitrate until the
international president, William l..
Hutcheson, was consulted.
Capt. R. E. York got Hutcheson on
the telephone in New York and he
gave the local union permission to
settle the case. It was agreed that
each union shall select one repre-
sentative and these two choose a third
man. The three will then select an
arbiter whose decision will be final. In
case they can't agree on a third man,
the Labor Department will name him
The finding in this case will also
apply to q third conveyor to be in
stalled later, the labor cost Of which
Is fixed at $1,000.

Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Pierce, to appeal
the decision.
Under the terms Of her fathers
will, Mr.. and Mrs. Pierce were made
trustees of an estate valued at that
time at approximately 100000. The
other five children were to receive
their shares when they reached an
age of prudency."
Miss Crocker and her brother, Paul
D. Crocker, brought suit to have the
elder relatives removed as trustees.
Their removal was ordered by Judge
John P. Barnes, who ruled they had
acted arbitrarily and abused their
discretion in refusing to turn over the
principal of the estate as soon as Miss
Crocker and other heirs demonstrated
their ability to take care Of their
own affairs"
While allegedly deprived of her
share of the estate. Miss Crocker, in
the meantime, has built up a business
in which the property alone is valued
at S120,000.

Workers Capacity Varies

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics says that the amount of cot
ton which may be picked by hand in a
single day varies according to the ca
pacity Of the worker. the type of cot
ton, the weather and possibly other
factors. In sparse field 100 pounds
a day is good picking. In good
field Of cotton, with long staples and
small bolls, 80 pounds may be picked.
In a good field of cotton with a short
staple as many as 400 to 500 pounds
may be picked in day. A minimum
may be placed at 60 pounds with q
maximum of from 500 to 600 pounds
the average probably being around
$50 pounds of cotton per day.
