Victim of Hemophilia.
i The count is a sufferer from hemo-
.philia, a condition which causes its
victims to bleed excessively from the
Sslightest wounds. The disease Is
common to male descendants OF the
sHapsburg Battenberg line and is
transmitted through the women OF
that family, who, however, are not
saffected.
Last February, while in Cuba, the
Scount was in a critical condition
from a malignant leg tumor which
could not be treated by surgery be-
ecause it was feared an incision would
I prove fatal. Twenty blood transfu-
sions saved his life. During his re-
fcovery he was reported suffering from
sinternal hemorrhages.
i The count was married in June
1888 to Edelmira Sampedro Robato
,,daughter of a Cuban merchant, for
whom he renowned his rights to the
sSpanish throne.

man, Hepron said the Criminal Justice
Association is a fact-finding and no,
"a, head hunting" organization. He
did state, however, that he believed
personnel rather than inefficient or.
ganization was the greatest factor In
the lack of criminal prosecutions.
Various cases here were discussed
as examples of what be believed indi-
Gated undue use Of political influence
in their final determination.
Hepbron emphasized the need fol
training of officers and contrasted
crime prosecution conditions In
Canada and England with those In
this country.
After the discussions the Bar As
sociation voted Endorsement of the
criminal justice body and recommend
ed to the Executive Council of the
former that it become one of the sup
porting organizations. The Executive
Council will act at meeting Octo-

TRAINING SCHOOL
EXPANSION HALTED
BY BUDGET BUREAU.
Requests Delay in Use of
$780, 900 Appropriation
Pending Study.
MONEY VOTED AFTER
SENATORS COMPLAIN
Board of Public Welfare Sub
mitted Plans for Two Dormi-
tories of Modest Size.

Drafting of plans for 100000 ex-
pansion and improvement program at
the National Training School for Girls,
ordered at the past session Of Congress,
has been halted suddenly by the Com
.missioners at the request of the Budget
Bureau, it was disclosed today.
The Budget Bureau, it was stated at
the District Building, seeks to have use
of the appropriation delayed until a
study is made of proposals for CONSOLE
dating, if possible, all agencies dealing
with girl wards of the District under
one plant, and all those dealing with
boys under another.
Congress voted money for the train
ing school last session after Chair
man King of the Senate District
Committee and Senator Copeland Of
New York had assailed physical con-
ditions at the school as ''barbar1c."
The Board Of Public Welfare some
weeks ago submitted improvement
plans, including construction Of two
dormitories of modest size. After some
discussion, Municipal Architect Ma
than c. Wyeth was told to draft de-
tailed plans.
Commissioner Sultan said the Bud
get Bureau in delaying plans had re-
quested q study be made Of the future
policy Of management, possible con-
solidation and the problem Of needed
future expansion of various agencies
dealing with dependent or delinquent
children.
Last Spring the Budget Bureau pro-
posed that jurisdiction over the Ma
tional Training School for Boys, now
under the Justice Department, be
transferred to the District govern
ment, where the District might con-
Solidate its care for boy wards.
Apparently the Budget Bureaus
order does not affect q general pro-
gram for rehabilitation of the old
plant by the W. P. A., for which $685.
600 was allotted.

James A. McNamara Pleads MOI
Guilty to Attack on Arena
Manager.

James A. Mcnamara, So, coach fol
Marty Gallagher, the boxer, pleaded
not guilty and demanded jury trial
when arraigned in Police Court today
on q charge of assaulting George w,

Mcnamara was released under the
$25 collateral which he posted late

issued a warrant for his arrest at
Kings request.
Mcnamara, a former Georgetown
University foot ball star, Is alleged to
have struck King during an argument
in the Annapolis Hotel office of Pro-
moter Turner. The quarrel was said
to have started when Mcnamara ac-
cused King of roofing for Buck Ev-
erett, Gallagher's opponent in fight
Monday night.
Gallagher's coach, however, denied
this, declaring it was personal re-
mark" made by King about Marty
which started the fight.
