CHANGES BEGUN
Street Car Rerouting Pro.
gram Due to Take Many
Months.

Construction of a series of street
car track changes in downtown Wash
ington, key points in the rerouting
program ordered by the Public Util-
ties Commission, was actively under
way today as roaring compression
tools rent the air at Fourteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue.
The work will continue all Summer,
making possible a variety of shifts in
routing which were adopted as a
means of improving street car move
ments through the congested area.
Capital Transit Co. workmen today
were building ''cut-in" track in the
northeast quadrant of the intersec-
ton, so Fourteenth street cars can
proceed down Fourteenth street and
turn east along Pennsylvania avenue.
This will cut out the present loop
through New York avenue and Fiji
teenth street. This is to be finished
by June %.
Removal of two of the four sets Of
tracks on Fourteenth street between
New York avenue and H street. and
the realignment of the remaining two
sets is scheduled to start June Is and
be finished by October S.
Building of track connection from
the present stub end on G street near
Fifteenth street to the Pennsylvania
avenue tracks at the intersection OF
New York avenue will start June and
require several weeks. These down.
town projects are expected to cost ap-
proximately 100000.

Payment of $250,000 to more than

At the same time it was said un-
officially that there was strong pos
sibility that eventually" these depos-

This will be the second dividend tc
depositors The first was paid through
the City Bank of Washington. which
took over certain assets of the Frank
lin and turned over to depositors s.
per cent, amounting to about $4,000
900. The City Bank, however. has
nothing to do with the payment OF
this second dividend, which is being
handled entirely by the Liquidating

In order to receive the checks il
will be necessary for depositors to
bring with them their Certificates OF

FUG|TVES TO FACE
D. c. COURT TRAP
Police Judge Curran and J.
Edgar Hoover Work Out
Fingerprint Plan.

Transient criminals who pass
through the District courts in the
future will be weeded out of the every
day run of law violator through a
new system of fingerprinting and iden-
tification to be established in the
Police Court, it was announced today
by Judge Edward M. Curran.
Through cooperation with ]. Edgar
Hoover, chief of the Department of
Justice G-men, complete finger
printing laboratory is to be estab-
lished on the fourth floor of the court
building and will be placed in immedi-
ate operation.
More than $4,000 persons are tried
in the Police Court every year. Last
year there were 64,049 cases tried.
Many of these, however, are repeaters.
Suspects Perjury in Records.
Judge Curran, in making the an
nouncement of the new fingerprinting
set-up, said even his short experience
on the bench in Police Court had
firmly convinced him that a great
majority of the persons brought before
him perjured themselves. especially
when asked about their records of pre-
vious arrests.
Under the plan devised by Judge
Curran and worked out with Hoover,
if the court has reason to believe q
defendant is not telling the truth,
bailiff will be ordered to take him
or her into the fingerprinting labora-
tory. AS soon as the prints have
been taken, they will be rushed to
the Department of Justice, where they
will be checked with other prints on
file.
The greatest hope for the system,
however, and the one in which Hoover
evinced the greatest interest, is that
it will trap criminals wanted here and
elsewhere and who get arrested for
minor offenses and escape with small
fines or jail sentences without any
record other than the name they
choose to give police.
Speeds Release of Innocent.
II am confident we will be able to
catch numerous criminals wanted else
where through the new system" Judge
Curran said. Many of the persons
brought into Police Court are tran
sients. Some of them who have ap-
peared before me in the brief time
I have been on the bench have been
criminals, am sure. But heretofore
there has been no way of proving it,
except to hold the defendant in jail
while the police check up to find
if he is wanted. This is not fair
to the defendant"
On numerous occasions in Police
Court a defendant has testified, and
taken his oath before this court and
as God is my witness, have never
been arrested before in my life" On
several of these occasions, a check-up
has showed that the defendant had
been arrested numerous times. On two
recent occasions the defendant in one
case had been arrested So times and
convicted each time and the other had
paid fines or served time in jail on
GA counts.
The Department of Justice will fur
nish the complete fingerprinting and
Identification outfit for the use of the
court. All the Identification work in
the departments laboratory will be
done on cooperative basis in return
for the information to be derived from
the prints and on the chance that
wanted men will be apprehended. The
system also will add several thousand
prints each year to the files of the
department.

He did make his position quite clear
because he said: "As to the precise

is anything there which indicates op-
position to sales tax, such as the

1t is worthy of note that even in

tax if the next Legislature should

this: That he will not recommend a
general sales tax to the Legislature
and that he does not favor a general
sales tax. A sales tax which ex-
empts perfumes and chewing gum
may not be regarded as general
sales tax. AS Senator Benson points
out, Mr.. Nelson has left the door

because a Republican legislature Is

The Republican party and Mr.. Mel
