$1,000 IN STOLEN

| OF $4Q,O0O GROUP
Aide of Pitts Had Control of
Securities of Smith Co.,
Probe Learns.
REASON FOR TRANSFER
NOT CLEAR TO ATTORNEY
Trail of Bonds After Disappear.
ance Being Studied-Pledged
for Loan.

The $1,000 in bonds which Henry
o. Hart, confidential aide to G. Bryan
Pitts, reported stolen from a hotel
room in February. 1884, were part Of
a $4,000 lot of securities turned
over to him by the F. H. Smith Co.,
officials disclosed today.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray. who is directing
a grand jury investigation of the
alleged theft, said it appeared that
the securities we're given Hart for
services rendered to company, all
though the contract of transfer was
not clear on that point.
Hart later figured prominently in
the investigation of the Smith Co.
collapse, which brought heavy losses
to thousands of investors and sent
Pitts, its head, to prison for a A
year term.
Hart was indicted with Pitts and
several others in connection with
evidence presented at Pitts trial. but
the charge later was nolle pressed.
Made Pledge for Loan.
The trail Of the bonds after Hart
reported them stolen is still not en-
tirely clear, Murray said. 1t was
learned Hart, some time after re-
ceiving them from the company,
pledged the $1,000 block as collateral
for a s2,5o0 loan from the First Ma
tional Bank of West Palm Beach. Fla.
Meanwhile, the Government, which
was trying to collect delinquent income
taxes owed by Pitts, held lien agaisnt
the bonds. The lien was discharged
when the Florida bank sent the bonds
back to Hart to liquidate.
With the bonds in his possession,
Hart became i'll and was in bed for
five days. during which period a nurse
and various visitors passed freely in
and out of his hotel room. He said
that when he was able to get up he
found the securities had been removed
from his inside coat pocket.
Recently the bonds we're turned over
to the district attorney in Baltimore
by a lawyer of that city. who ex-
planned they had been given to him to
liquidate, but that he was afraid they
were hot Inestiga tors found he
received them from Washington at
torney representing local investment
broker. Murray said he had not been
able to ascertain definitely what oc-
CURED before they came into the
brokers' possession,
No Effort to Cash Them.
Although one group Of the bonds
matured in 1888 and The o.her in 1884.
no effort was made to cash them, so
far as officials could learn.
All persons thought to have any
knowledge of the case, except one
woman. have been interrogated by the
grand jury The woman is said 10 be
in Miami, Fla. but no answer had
been received this morning from q
subpoena forwarded to Florida some
time ago. She was supposed to testify
tomorrow.
Murray reiterated that the current
investigation is not concerned with
the Smith company case, but merely
with the larceny Of the $1,000 in
bonds.

BRAVE
RAIN TO GET TAGS
Van Duzer Estimates Be-
tween 1900 and 5000 viii
Be Issued Today.

Motorists, many Of them garbed in
raincoats and rubbers and carrying
umbrellas, continued to storm the
windows OF the District Traffic De-
partment today to obtain 1886 auto
mobile license plates.
Long before noon more than 1900
were standing in line-nearly as many
as during the last-minute rush Tues
day. Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer estimated that between 1000
and 5000 tags would be issued before
the windows closed this afternoon.
Business was brisk at the collateral
Office at police headquarters as drivers
sought to pay fines on tickets accu-
mulated during the year. No tags are
issued to motorists with unsettled
traffic violation charges against them.
1000 Pay Fines.
More than 1000 motorists have paid
fines to date, Sergt. j. J. Agnew, in
charge of the collateral Office, esti-
mated this morning This has brought
about $4,000 into the District treas
uary, most Of it during the past week
or 10 days. Only six motorists had
paid fines today for parking overtime
or with dead tags, but others are
expected to come in during the next
faw days.
The Traffic Department set record
in issuing tags Tuesday during the five
hours 1t was open, according to Van
Duzer. The number of tags issued was
5,l7S, within ! 500 of the number is
sued during the full day Monday.
Issuance of 4,400 tags today would
bring the total of 1896 plates issued to
about 10000, nearly 10000 more than
on the same date a year ago, Van
Duzer estimated. After today the rush
is expected to die away until the usual
average of about $50 or 900 day is
reached about the middle OF the
month.
Fined for Dead Tags.
Fines of 81 each were being as
sessed In Police Court against own
ers arrested for operating their cars
with dead tags. Altogether 2S persons
either were arraigned or else chose TO
forfeit collateral. Six of these were
released on personal bonds and one
was dismissed.
Five persons chose to forfeit 50
collateral each on charges of parking
over the 18-hour limit. Only 80 per-
sons had been arrested today for op-
Grating automobiles on 1895 tags.
The first on record for violating the
dead-tag regulation was Sam Kauf-
man, 4s, q grocer, 2800 block Of Geor-
gia avenue. He was arrested at $40
I'm. yesterday, 40 minutes after the
deadline. All those arrested were re-
quired to post $40 collateral
Motorists were warned BY trafic
onicials against driving their cars to
the Trafhc Department to get their
tags, and against leaving their cars
parked in one spot more than 18
hours.

CITY ASKED TO DUMP
ASHES ON STREETS
Capital Parks Engineer Urges
Use of Waste to Alleviate
Hazards.

Use Of ashes on Washington's Slip
perry streets, with the aid of Works
Progress Administration labor, was
advocated today by William Haiber,
National Capital Parks engineer.
Instead of having regular ash COL
lectors go from house to house and
then drive to dumps with ashes, the
waste should be spread over the Slip
perry streets in the vicinity of the
homes from which the ashes have
been taken, Haiber contended. Par
ticulariy he urged that ashes be
placed on hillside roadways and at
stop signs.
Haiber said some park employees
informed him they had seen ash
trucks being driven to the dumps this
morning. sliding over the slippery
streets, when their cargo could have
been used to good advantage 10 mini
