REWARD OF $500
OFFERED FOR GANG
IN H0LD-UP KILLING.
Sanitary Store Customer
Slain and Manager Is
Critically Wounded.
YOUNG COLORED WOMAN
is LEADER OF BANDITS
Bold Daylight Robbery Is Enacted
on Ninth Street-Amount of
Loot Undetermined.

A $500 reward today spurred the
hunt for the shotgun bandit gang
wanted for the grocery store murder
yesterday of William r. Edmunds.
Edmunds, 40, colored, died inme-
diately from a blow on the temple de-
livered by the butt of the weapon dur
ing the daylight hold-up of a Sanitary
Store at 1929 Ninth street.
Gilbert j. Cronise. 80, of 1884 Tenth
street, store manager, was critically
wounded by the same kind of blow.
He was taken to Casualty Hospital.
The metropolitan police offered a
reward of Sl00 and E. c. Yonker,
president of the Sanitary Grocery Co.,
posted $400 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the bandits.
The gang was led by a young COL
ored woman who entered the store
alone during the noon hour and
ordered flour from Cronise. While he
was filling the order. the woman's
two colored henchmen entered and
slugged him.
AS Cronise slumped to the floor
behind the counter. Edmonds entered
to make a purchase. There was a
short scuff1e before the customer fell
dead. He was found on the floor by
police.
Police believe the hold-up gang is
the same which robbed another Sani-
tary Grocery Store at 1923 North
Capitol street last Monday and es-
capped with S45 after beating the pro-
prietor on the head with gun.
Police said the robbers took some
bills and change from the cash regis
ter, but the exact amount could not
Immediately be determined.
Cronise furnished a description of
the trio almost identical to the de-
scription of the woman and two men
who held up the other store earlier
in the week
The woman was about 25 years old,
S feet Z inches tall, slender and
medium brown skinned. The man
holding the gun was about 80 years
old, weighed l6O pounds, was feet
9 inches tall, had dark brown skin and
wore dark tweed overcoat and brown
felt hat. The other man was about
25 years old, feet inches tall, and
wore a light -colored topcoat and dark
hat.

COMMUNISM HELD
WAITING FOR WAR
DR.. Walsh Declares Best
Defense Is acknowledge
of the Disease"

International communism is waiting
in tense expectation and hope" OF an
early world war that would provide its
opportunity "to strike telling blow
at democracy. which it detests," DR..
Edmund A. Walsh, S. j., of George
town University, warned last night in
q lecture on communistic doctrines.
The priest-educator, long regarded
as one of the leading critics and au-
thorities on Soviet Russia. declared
the best defense against communism
was a knowledge of the disease"
He said: For IS years, at home and
abroad, in class room, in lecture hall,
in group conferences and by written
word I have sought to make COM
munism better understood by laying
bare its origin, its principles. its claim
to universal domination and the i'm
portance Of its challenge to Christian
ity and democracy. In my opinion it
is one of the inescapable and major
problems in modern civilization.
He Is diletante in the history of
social upheavals and an amateur in
the knowledge of revolutionary psy-
chology who would brush it aside as
something alien to the American
tradition and unthinkable in the
United States.
Il know of no automatic immunity
to such subtle, persistent and creep
ing fever. The best prophylaxis is
knowledge of the disease, vigilance
against carriers OF the infection and
vigorous strengthening of the powers
of resistance in our own economic and
social system"
DR.. Walsh devoted the first Of four
lectures in his present series to the
creed Of communism as revealed in
the writings of Marx and Lenin.
Communism" he said, "is the guid-
ing spirit Of organized international
revolt and universal denial. Bolshe-
vism, whose moral sterility is the
chief progeny issuing from the sup.
posedly hygienic union of rationalism
and technology, is the lustiest off,
spring of the modern mind"
The doctrines of Marx, he warned,
furnish the handspring Of the Com
munist program everywhere.
HE would smash the state, the
church, the economic framework Of
society. social solidarity, the Christian
virtues, goodly percentage Of human
liberties, democratic concepts Of gov
ernment and all belief in divinity" DR..
Walsh added. -..

An hour or so later, however. the

D. c. BILLS BEFORE
VIRGINIA HOUSE
Passage Urged for National
Representation and Bound
ary Measures.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
staff Correspondent of The Star.

RICHMOND. Va, February %
Both the resolution memorializing
Congress to grant national represen-
tation to the District of Columbia and
the bill ratifying the report of the
District of Columbia Virginia Boun-
Diary Line Commission were ready for
House action today. The resolution
was reported unanimously yesterday
by the House Committee on Federal
Relations and Resolutions. The COM
mittee also attempted to take up the
boundary line bill, but found it had
not yet been referred, so it was de-
cided to have a friendly motion made
today to discharge the committee and
bring the measure before the House
for immediate action.
Killed in the Privileges and Elec-
tions Committee at the last session.
the resolution memorializing national
representation for the District was
referred, after considerable discus
sion, to the Federal Relations and
Resolutions Committee this year.

Norfolk, copatron on the bill with
Delegate william D. Medley of Arling-
ton County, is chairman of the COM
mittee which took up and reported the
measure without objection yesterday.
Patrons believe such a resolution
from the Legislature of Virginia will
have considerable influence, since
Virginia Is directly adjoining the
District.
The boundary line bill, bearing the
names Of Delegates william D. Med
ley of Arlington County, Maurice D.
Rosenberg of Alexandria, and John G.
Mackall of Fairfax County, was sent
to the Assembly by Gov. Peery with q
recommendation that it pass.
It is provided In the bill that 1t
shall become elective II and when
Congress also ratifies the report. It
further provides that the Governor
shall cooperate with Federal officials
in making the necessary surveys and
establishment Of markers to make the
boundary permanent one.
Patrons planned today to ask that
the constitutional readings be dis
pensed with and the bill placed on
immediate passass.

BEFORE JUNE 9

First installment payments of the
1896 Imperial Irrigation district
assessments become delinquent
June 29, and thereafter a five per
cent penalty and costs will be ado
ed, according to Miss Winnie Barry,
assessor collector.
Those who desire TO take advan-
tage of the 10 year payment plan
provided at the special session Of
the state legislature for payment Of
delinquencies, will have to pay the
current assessments in full, Miss
Barry said. Also, the current as
sessment must be paid in full by
those planning to pay this years
installment under the 10 year plan.
The default date for the old 10
year plan comes July l. Under
this plan default may be made by
failure to pay the installment or
failure to pay current assessment,
Miss Barry continued.
Current assessment payments are
coming in satisfactorily at this
time, the assessor collector an
nounced, and several landowners
have taken advantage If the new
l0-year plan.

PAUPER OATH
RULED OUT IN
N EW SET UP
Government Aboishes
Discrimination
In Work Roll

WASHINGTON, June %.
(UP)-The New IDEAL ruled
today that needy unemploy-.
ed no longer need take a
"pauper's oath" before quail
flying for government work-relief
jobs.
The administration, changing the
whole complexion of the new $3,-'
446,000000 program, opened work
lists throughout the country to all
jobless-regardless of whether they
ever received federal doles.
The works progress administra
ton had declared before that only
persons living off direct relief prior
to last November l were eligible
for work under the current S4,000,-
900, 900 jobs drive.
The shift was prescribed by con-
gress to meet mounting anti-admin-
istration criticism-opposition that
claimed needy should not be SUBJ
jected to declaring they had no re-
sources whatsoever.
The development was revealed as
WPA, the public works administra-
ton, rural resettlement and other
agencies waited only President
Roosevelts signature to the new.
ST, ,425 100000 work-relief appropri-
alton before starting to spend.
Under the $4,0O0,000, 900 program,
100000 employable persons on di-
rect relief were eligible for work.
WPA Administration Harry L. Hop
kins had them all on federal pro-
jects last January /.
Now, he faced the task of select
ing 100000 workers from the g.
100000 to 100000 unemployed.
about half of whom have STAYED
off the necessity of depending on
the government for a livelihood.
In addition to the 100000 per-
sons who will receive jobs from
the new 81 $4,000, 900, another l.
100000 will work under WPAs
$300,000,000 program, in civilian
conservation camps and on projects
financed from the 81 ,100,0 100000 re-
naming in the year-old $4,000, ,000,-
