Ken Murray
Says:

After all those preparations
by the anti-New Dealers for a
big conference in Detroit, Al
Smith, the feature attraction,
suddenly discovered that due
to previous engagements he
couldn't attend. Well, it's a
good thing he let 'em know
in time! Imagine how en-
barraSsing it would have been
if they'd started routing out all
the guys in the hotels registered
under the name of Smith.
From the way AIS been flirt-
ing with the G. o. P. it sounds
as if somebody must have told
him if he wants a big job hS
should try withdrawing an
elephant.
OF course, you can't really
blame the ex-governor for being
sore at his old colleagues. For
the past three years he has re-
ceived no more recognition from
the New Dealers than a Jesse
Owens from a Hitler.
P. S.-Judging from the way
AL keeps throwing that 1882
platform up to the President, it
looks as though r. d. r. must
have written those campaign
promises in q diary.

POLICE LOSE
IN MOVE FOR
BUILDING
Hazen Finds Funds Are
Lacking; May Get 1t
Next Year

While declaring himself every
sympathetic" toward the proposal
Of Maj. Ernest w. Brown, chief
of police, for construction of a new
police headquarters building, Com.
missioner Melvin c.. Hazen said
today he saw no way at present
for the District to finance such a
structure.
Survey Promised
Commissioner Hazen said that
he will assign engineers of the
Municipal Architects office to
make a survey of the present
Police Court building, Sixth and
D SITS. N. w., to determine
whether this could suitably be
converted into police headquarters.
The Police Court building will
be vacated a year from now when
the new court building is COM
pleted in Judiciary Square at q
cost of $1,500,000.
Major Brown, in addition to ad-
vocating new headquarters build
ing, also suggested that the Com
missioners appoint committee
to inspect some of the older police
precinct station houses and deter
mine how much it will cost to re-
place them.
Only Building
Commissioner Hazen said all
that could be offered to the Police
Department in the way of new
buildings" was the Police Court
structure. He said he is unable to
help Major Brown in his sugges-
ton for new precincts.
Major Brown termed the build
ing condition in the Police Depart
ment a disgrace to the District.
He is now preparing his annual re-
port to the Commissioners, in
which he has revealed he will
recommend the building program.

tice Jennings Bailey, of the United

had exceeded her authority when
she remanded the youth to the

ings instituted by the boys mother
several weeks ago, today directed
Attorneys Fred j. Icenhower and
William K. Teepe to prepare an
order for him to sign directing the
Training School authorities to set
the boy at liberty.
Had Pleaded Guilty
The youth, in January of 1885,
had pleaded guilty before Judge
Bentley to a charge of unlawful
entry. He was sentenced to serve
one year in the reform school, but
the sentence was suspended and
he was placed on probation.
He was brought back before
Judge Bentley several months
ago on complaint Of the Board
of Public Welfare that he had
played hooky from school for
several days. Judge Bentley re.
voked his probation and placed
him in custody of the Board of
Public Welfare and he was sent
to a home maintained by the
board.
Several days later he escaped
from the home and only recently
was arrested in the Department
of Agriculture Building, where he
had obtained employment as a
messenger at a salary of SIS a
week, of which he was giving more
than half for his mothers sup
port. Judge Bentley peremptor-
lily committed him to the National
Training School to remain until
he attained the age of 81 years.
Asked Habeas Corpus
Mrs. Eva johnson, the boys
mother, engaged Attorneys Icen-
hover and Teepe to obtain his re-
lease and when Judge Bentley
denied their motion for a re-
hearing they instituted habeaS
corpus proceedings in the Dis
trict court charging that johnson
was illegally refused a jury trial
on the unlawful entry charge;
was not advised of his constitu-
tional right to have counsel, and
that Judge Bentley had no juris-
diction over the boy after the
expiration of the court term in
which the one-year sentence had
been passed.
1t was pointed out by counsel
that when the boys probation
was revoked and he was COM
mitted to the Board of Public
Welfare the court had no al
tentative after his escape other
than to recommit him for the
completion of his one-year sen.
tence.
The action taken by Judge
Bentley, however, the court held.
had the effect of placing the
youth in double jeopardy.
