7 M0T0R|STSZ SISTERS HIDE
LOSE PERMITS WEDDING HERE

Two sisters will be married in
a double ceremony and leave on
their honeymoons this afternoon,
but the details are shrouded in
deep, dark mystery.
This Misses Elsie Jane and Olga
Lou Croft, of the Park Central
Apartments, decided about two
weeks ago to be married in a
double ceremony at noon today
and then depart for unrevealed
destinations.
Today Miss Elsie Jane took the
day off at her office, and she and
her sister left their apartment.
Her co-workers have been kept in
the dark, and even the minister,
the Rev. A. F. Poore. of 308 A st.
S. E., could not be reached for in
formation.
So the plans of the two sisters to
be wed secretly worked without a
hitch.
Miss Olga Lou is marrying her
boyhood sweetheart, James w.
Kite of Manassas, Va, and Miss
Elsie Jane is marrying Wilbur

BIG INAUGURAL
CROWD DUE

With work already underway for
the inaugural ceremonies jan
uary 20. advance registrations at
hotels indicate a recordbreaking
crowd will be on hand to pay hon.
age to Franklin Delano Roosevelt
when he takes his second oath Of
office, according to an announce
ment issued today by the Greater
National Capital committee of the
Washington Board of Trade.
The committee reports that out
door grandstands to seat $4,000 are
under construction and work is ex-
pected to begin shortly on the
stands to line Pennsylvania Ave
nue. where the inaugural parade
will wind it's way after ceremonies
at the Capitol. Approximately
$4,000 persons will be seated along
the parade route, it is announced.
Unless the weather is unusually
inclement, the President will de-
liver his inaugural address from
the traditional platform at the
Capitol Plaza, after which he will
proceed to the White House and
review the parade from glass
enclosed stand.
The old inaugural date of March
has been pushed forward to
January 20 under the lame duck
amendment to the Constitution,
but little difference in the weather
is expected by the committee.

; YOUTHS HELD
IN BANK CASE

Prince Georges county authori'
ties expect to arraign three youths
before a justice of the peace to-
day on charges of assault with in
tent to rob growing out of the at.
tempted holdup of the Bank of
Brandywipe last Thursday.
William P. Mcpherson, 65,
cashier of the bank, was shot in
the leg in the attempted holdup
and is in Casualty Hospital. 1t
is expected he will be able to
appear at the hearing.
The three youths were arrested
yesterday, two being captured
near Shamokin, Pa, and the third
in Baltimore. License tags on an
automobile used in the attempted
robbery were traced to the home
of one of the boys at Glen

The prisoners are held by Mary

will be sent to Prince Georges
county by State policemen. Wit

YULE SAVINGS

Between $1,000 and $1,000 in
currency, representing the accu-
mulated Christmas savings Of en-
ployes of the Northeast Motor
Company at 920 Bladensburg Rd.
N. w., were extracted from a safe
in the company'S offices last
night, together with a diamond
ring valued at 5000 belonging to
Mrs. C. E. McCalip, wife of the
president and general manager.
Thieves who broke into the Of
fices apparently had secreted
themselves in the garage, adjoin-
ing, before closing time. Gaining
entrance to the room where the
safe was kept, they smashed the
combination lock of the outer safe
and carried away an inner safe
weighing 300 pounds, together
with it's contents. Company Off
GERS and police declined to say
what the inner safe contained.
Savings funds obtained by the
robbers were in cash boxes. These,
opened with merchants tools in
the garage, we're found broken and
battered on the garage floor. The
fund was to have been distributed
to the employees today.
Two SIS bills were likewise found
on the floor where the thieves had
dropped them in their hasty get
away.
Edward Billhimer, of 1125 E st.
N. E., office manager of the con-
Germ, discovered the robbery when
he opened the office this morning.
Police found many fingerprints,
through which they hope to
identify the thieves.

JURY LAW 0. K,
DASHES HOPE
FOR JORDAN
T-Shoppe Slayer Based
Fight to Escape Chair
on rial Set-up

Recent action of the United
States Supreme Court sustaining
the validity of the District jury
law, making Government employees
eligible for jury service, wiped out
the last hope, save that of presi-
Dental clemency, for Thomas Jor-
dan, sentenced to die in the electric
chair for the murder five years
ago of Mrs. Elizabeth Jaynes in the
Garden T-Shoppe robbery, it ap-
peared today.
Jordan's plight was recalled
when Assistant United States At
torney Roger Robb filed a motion
in the Court of Appeals to revoke
the appeal bond of Morris E.
Dutch" Irwin and five of his aSSo-
ciates who were convicted in the
trial court for conspiracy to violate
the gaming laws.
Irwin and his associates were
committed to jail following their
conviction. and they appealed to
the United States Court of Ap
peals for release OIL bond pending
disposition of theis appeal. Sub
stantial questions of law, includ-
ing the constituti0naliGy of the
jury law, were involved in their
appeals, their counsel said, and
the appellate court granted them
bail.
Mr.. Robb today filed the motion
to revoke on grounds that since
the United States Supreme Court
has already upheld the validity Of
the jury law, the Irwin defendants
have no other serious attack on
their convictions.
Jordan, the 30-year-old bus boy,
who was to have died in the elec-
trio chair yesterday, was granted
a poStponement two weeks ago
when his attorneys declared that
they wished to test the constitu-
tionality of the jury that con-
victed him. The Supreme Court
has now decided that question and
legal experts say that Jordan's
last defense has been swept away.

Plea of Mothers
for Real St. Nick
By THE GOOD FELLOW EDITOR

In a little Northeast home a
three-year-old girl listens eagerly
to the tales of Santa Claus from
the lips of her six-year-old brother
While she hears tales of Old

stricken mother sits heart rt-broken
nearby because she knows Santa
will never come.
Save ChiId's Faith
Santa must visit these children
Surely in all of this large city
there is a Good Fellow who will
preserve a chnd's faith in the
Good Saint Nick! Surely there is
Good Fellow who is willing tc
share his abundant Christmas
with a widow and her youngsters
Someone must give this family 9
Christmas dinner.
This widow writes to The Good

who is only 18 and was a
plumbers helper until month,
is out of work. Our hopes are
gone now.
Hates Charity
II dislike asking for charity yet
l cannot think of the children
having nothing at all for Christ
mas. There are four children
in the family; the little girl, 3,
her brother 6, who is always
telling her of Santa Claus; two
older boys, IL and IA. The
older boys understand why they
must not expect Santa.

to pay the bill. The only fuel
we have is what scraps of wood
we are able to find.
Would Be Grateful
eff there is a Good Fellow
who could help us a little we
would be so grateful"
There is nothing more we can
add. We hope some Good Fellow
will come to this family's rescue
and be a real Santa.
This family is one Of the hun
dreds which have appealed to The
Times for aid and remembrance at
Christmas.
Three little girls, age 3, and 8,
are also looking for Santa Claus.
Their daddy is a $48 per month
WPA employe. After he pays the
rent and buys what little food he
can with the rest, there is nothing
left to put aside for his children S
