SIDEWALK SIGNS
PUZZLE POLICE
Yellow TriangIes Advocat'
ing safety" Sponsored
by Business Concern,

Triangular yellow signs painted on
the sidewalks at several downtown
intersections to warn pedestrians to
cross carefully, but bearing In letters
almost as large as the warning the
name Of business firm, were causing
some scratching of heads in the Police
Department today.
Police agree that painting of adver-
tising signs on the public sidewalks,
even though they advocate such a
commendable thing as safety, is
against the law.
In fact. Capt. H. G. Callahan Of the
first precinct is of the opinion that it
constitutes "defacing public property
and is going to confer with corpora
ton counsel this afternoon about it.
The Illicit painting, it seems, has
been going on since the wee small
hours Sunday morning. Greeted
with the bright yellow warnings at
daybreak, first precinct police made
an intensive search for the painter
during the day. but in vain, and
finally decidedsthe painter was doing
his work at night, to permit his
handiwork to dry before the feet of
the pedestrians he was designing to
aid tracked 1t into an unrecognizable
mess.
Police kept a special lookout Sun
day night. or Monday morning, but
again in vain. They finally issued q
warning to the firm advertised, the
Zlotnick Co., to stop.
Painting Of the signs has stopped,
apparently. and Samuel D. Zlotnick,
ST., who explained today that his in
terest was only in safety for pedes-
trians, announced he would seek a
permit from the District Commits
sioners.
II didn't know 1t was against the
law, but asked q policeman about 1t
yesterday and he said it was, so we
aren't doing it any more"
Capt. Callahan Is Of the opinion
that there is ground for charges
against some one. but whether the
painter must be caught in the act is
a problem.
As for the signs which have been
painted already. Inspector L. I. H.
Edwards says something will have to
be done about them, or soon the whole
city will be filled with advertising
signs.
Maybe just painting out the name
Of the advertiser will be enough. But
I'm sure the District ought not to
have to do that. I think it ought to
be up to the advertiser to paint out
his own name"

By tne Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, September 8.-Mrs.
Ella Haugh, 81, died of shock and
suffocation today in the explosion of
gas cooking range at her West Balti-
more street home.
The conclusion blew out part of the
rear wall of the house. Fire Capt.
John Crandall, hearing the explosion,
rushed into the house. With his hands
he beat out the flames on Mrs. Haugh's
night clothing and called an ambu-
lance.
Mrs. Haugh died at hospital
shortly afterward. Hospital attaches
said the burns were not serious enough
to cause death, but attributed death
to shock and suffocation.
Mrs. Haugh was the mother of Gael
Haugh, a horse racing writer, who
uses the name "Gaby," on the Balti-
more News-Post. He was not at home
at the time. His wife, Mrs Geraldine
Eaugh was awakened by the explosion.

mined. Capt Crandall found Mrs.

with her night clothes burning about
the neck and shoulders.

ROOSEVELT SPEECH
President Leaves Capital
Tonight-100, 900 Expect
} ed for Rally Thursday.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

Preparatory to leaving tonight for
. two-day trip into the South, Presi-
dent Roosevelt was busy today clear
ing his desk of routine business, con-
ferring with departmental and emer-
gency heads, and working on the
speech he will deliver Thursday night
to a seven-State rally at Char
lotte, N. C.
The President will leave Washing
ton late tonight on a special train
for Knoxville, Tenn. Reaching that
city before noon tomorrow, he will
remain there about an hour, and then
will motor to Asheville. N. c., where
he will spend the night. This motor
ride will afford the President an op-
portunity to view the scenic beauties
of Great Smoky National Park. Ar
rangements have been made for a
picnic luncheon along the roadside
in the park tomorrow afternoon.
The President has not yet decided
whether he will make the journey from
Asheville to Charlotte by automobile OF
train. He is scheduled to start speak
ing at the huge rally in the latter
city at pm. Thursday. This gath
ering has been advertised as Green
Pastures rally" 1t is anticipated that
more than 100000 persons will be on
hand to hear the President speak
Mr.. Roosevelt several times has saio
that the speech he will deliver ir
Charlotte will be of a non-political
nature and that his understanding
is that the rally itself will be nom
partisan. The President will leave
Charlotte shortly after speaking fol
Washington, where he will arrive Fri
day morning. He will make an ad.
dress that afternoon before the Worlc
Power Conference.
After that the President has nc
speaking engagement before Septem-
Der l8. when he will be one of 9
group to address the ceremonies in.
cident to the Harvard University Ter.
centenary. This, too. the President
has insisted will be speech devoit
of political aspects. Mr.. Roosevelt
does not expect actually to start OF
what he calls his personal campaign
for reelection before September 20
when he will go to Syracuse, N. Y.
to address the Democratic State con.
vention there. Although he has no
yet completed his campaign plans
the impression is the President vii
continue on from Syracuse across the
continent.

in accordance with directions
given by the Communist inter-

the selection of delegates from
enterprises directly connected
with war and transport industries.

of the national sections. He travels
half of the year and frequently
goes to England to control the &C.

that it may be in accord with
