HIS OWN GUILT

volver In holes gouged in the board.
II was more afraid they would
find the gun than the money"
Hauptmann was quoted as having
said.
This sentence, and odds and ends
Of talk fitted together by the men
who have seen the German carpen-
ter from time to time, almost con-
WINGED guards that Hauptmann had
been engaged In some racket"
prior to his arrest, and confident
the Fisch alibi would work, was
afraid this phase Of his activities
would be uncovered.
Talks Frequently
The picture OF Hauptmann In cell
nine Of the death house drawn for
the United Press, shows him to be
far from the taciturn prisoner OF
the early days Of the case. He talks
frequently but most Of what he says
Is discounted by his listeners who
consider him not entirely trust
worthy.
This Is based on one incident
when his case was under discussion.
Although the subject matter Of this
conversation could not be revealed
for publication, the United Press
was given to understand that any
ordinary man would have given o
simple Eyes" or mo" answer.
"Hauptmann went to the back Of
his cell and thought q minute, It
was declared. "Then he returned
and said I could make up o story
about that. That was the tip off
on his character as far as we
were concerned"
Typical Criminal Ego
Hauptmann Is IN the best Of
health and his face has very little Of
the customary prison palror. One ex-
pert said his observation convinced
him Hauptmann was q criminal
type with the typical criminal ego"
"All Of the criminals Of this type
have q naive belief that all they
have to do is deny guilt and stick
to the story and people will believe
them," he said. "Hauptmann seems
to me to be In this class. doubt
that anyone in the prison--outside
of himself-thinks he Is innocent"

FIRE DEPARTMENT
FUNDS ARE URGED
BrightWood Group Backing
Request of Committee
of Trade Board.

The Brightwood Citizens Association
is supporting the campaign of the
Washington Board of Trade for addi-
tional apparatus and men for the local
Fire Department.
The association, having been advised
by Odell S. Smith, chairman Of the
Public Order Committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade that the recon-
mendations of the District Commits
sioners in the 1867 budget for the
District had been considerably reduced
by the Budget Bureau, the Brightwood
organization favored the restoration of
several of the items so affected.
Smiths Recommendation.
Smith, in urging cooperation from
the Brightwood association, said: Our
endeavors are directed toward secur-
ing for our Fire Department the best
and most modern equipment and an
adequate personnel to insure the
prompt and efficient functioning of the
department. The restoration and al
lowances of the following pieces of
apparatus and necessary men, which
we urge, are: Two aerial trucks, one
pumping engine, one hose wagon and
Is men. The several pieces of ap-
paratus are to replace old and anti
quated ones, which have been in con-
slant service for more than 20 years
and are worn out"
Need for Firemen Cited.
With reference to the request for
the additional fire fighters, Smith in
formed the association members:
when the annual leave of the
members of the Fire Department was
reduced from 20 days to IS through
the economy program, reduction of
Is men was made. AS the annual
leave has been restored to 20 days it
is important that the personnel of the
department be increased in order that
the several companies can operate
with sufficient number Of men to
insure effective service in the ex-
tinguishing Of fires. Unless the Is
men are reinstated the fire companies
will be greatly handicapped in the
performance Of their respective duties.

Radio Mourns Deaths.

News Of the death within few
= days of one another of Hiram
Percy Maxim and Charles H. Stewart,
president and vice president of the
American Radio Relay League. ma
tional radio amateur organization,
came as a distinct shock to the radio
world last week.
Hiram Maxim was founder of the
organization of cham" enthusiasts,
now grown to worldwide proportions
and embracing mostly youngsters in
terested in radio as hobby. He was
81 when he died, at La Junta, Colo,
last Monday He was an interna-
tionally known inventor and came
from a family of inventors, his most
noted devices being the Maxim gun

ency of the civic bodies Is to look
to Congress for relief.
Recruiting Members
Under Difficulties.

A NUMBER Of the neighborhood
citizens associations, recogniz-
ing the need for expanding their
membership, have been trying to do
some systematic canvassing. The
Southeast Council entered upon a
joint effort, but have made little
progress because of the severe
weather. Several associations is
suing monthly bulletins are hand
ing out some strong sales talk to
induce their members to enlist
recruits.
The Burroughs Association sets
forth some of the problems which
confront the citizens and exhort
the voteless taxpayers of WASH
ington to "come to the next meet
ing of the association and express
your sentiments" The Petworth
Citizen, organ Of the association of
the same name, appeals to the
people of that section to enroll.
Under the heading of why Should
You Become a Member of Your
Citizens Association" they list
their accomplishments and projects
they are now supporting. This is
followed by the query-"Have we
convinced you that you can help
yourself as well as us?" To this is
added-"Any citizen who objects
to any policy or practice of the
association should place the blame
upon those who were not present at
the meetings"
Other associations in other ways
are striving to build up their ranks
so as to provide a numerically
strong organized citizenship repre-
senting an awakened and earnest
American citizenship dedicated to
the highest ideals Of the individual
citizen and our country. AL those
public-spirited souls who have as
stunned individual responsibility for
helping our city and our Nation to
be a better place in which to live
can see the need Of more unselfish
workers and increased numbers in
the ranks.
At this time the nearest approach
to actual citizenship for the vote
less and unrepresented people Of
the District is through enlistment
In these neighborhood associations.
Leading advocates, in these mem
bership campaigns, say that through
, the force of numbers will come an
aroused public sentiment which will
overcome the present apathy with
which 50 many are afflicted, and
then aroused and crystallized senti.
ment will register many civic
achievements.

Desire for Liquor Control
Which Will Really Control.
More Aggressive Warfare
Against Tuberculosis.

CIVIC interest in amendments to
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
laws of both the District of Column
bia and Maryland shows decided
increase. At the recent meeting of
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, number of proposals of
the control board for that county
were opposed in the legislative pro-
gram adopted. These proposals
were all in the line of broadening
the powers of the board and lib
eralizing the restrictions on licenses.
It was expressed as the sentiment
of the federation that it should be
the function Of the Liquor Control
Board to regulate and control but
not to encourage and promote the
sale of alcoholic beverages"
A number Of District of Columbia
organizations are urging that the
number of licensed places in the
District be materially reduced and
that the local A. B. C. Board exer-
else more rigid control.
A recent development is the re-
ported present policy Of the
board to gradually limit class G
lcenses-on sale by the drink
to- establishments where the
preparation and sale of food is
the main source of revenue.
Some of the civic critics of the
board express surprise that this
policy was not followed by the board
from the very beginning, as it is
expressly required by law. So far
there have been no additional re-
strictive amendments proposed, but
there are indications in some of the
organizations that number of
such amendments will be formu-
lated for introduction in Congress.
The general tendency in the or.
CARNATIONS of the District is Sim
liar to that Of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation, which in
sists that the policy Of the Control
Board should be to regulate and
control, but not to encourage and
promote the sale OF alcoholic bev.
erages."
The Federation of Citizens Asso-
Citations on December 6, 1888,
adopted q report on liquor control
legislation, which it urged be in
cluded in the bill then under con-
sideration by Congress. There were
10 specific items in this report, the
adoption Of many Of which would
have apparently overcome a num-
Der of the abuses to which there is
civic objection at this time. In the
light Of recent experience, the civic
organizations sentiment appears to
favor far more stringent provisions
than were outlined in the fedora
TONS report of 1888. It was pointed
out that, when the present law was
under consideration, there was a
promise that, in order to avoid the
handling Of all details Of the regu-
lation by act Of Congress, the Com
missioners~ would be given broad
powers of regulation. Assurance
was then given that under these
broad powers the Commissioners
would include numerous restric-
tons desired by the citizen bodies
for the protection Of residential
neighborhoods, schools, churches
and similar institutions from en-.
croachment by liquor establish.

ever, have failed to exercise these
broad powers - thAt now the tend.
