Fingerprints Link Man Held for
Assault With Previous
Arrests.

Harvey Willie Raybon, 10, awaited
trial by Fort Myer military authorities
today on a charge of desertion from
Troop e, Sd. Cavalry, after his finger
prints belied his statement he had
never been arrested before when ar
raigned in Police Court.
Doubling it was the youths first
arrest when he was brought to court
yesterday on two charges of assault,
Judge Walter j. Casey turned him over
to Joseph Sanford, probation officer,
who heads the flngerprinting unit or
iginated by Judge Edward M. Curran.
Within a few minutes the Justice
Department furnished report, based
on Raybon's prints, which showed he
had been arrested in West Virginia,
Virginia, North Carolina and in the
District. The report showed Raybon
deserted from the Army in November,
1885.

BRIDGE is FAVORED
AT POINT OF ROCKS
Plans for New Potomac Span
Sent to Washington for
Approval.
BY the Associated Press.

By INT hSSOCialtQ EIe6b.
BALTIMORE, June 3-The StaLs
Roads Commission yesterday adopted
resolution favoring construction OF
a new Potomac River bridge at Point
of Rocks.
Plans will be drawn Immediately and
sent to Washington for approval .:
the project for Federal aid The plaEs
also will be sent to Virginia authori-
ties, since the southern terminus will
be in that State.
Maryland already has submitted to
Washington plans for a bridge at
Shepherdstown. Construction of that
bridge. however. will be delayed until
West Virginia is in a position to fur
nish its share of the funds.
The Point of Rocks span will re-
place one wrecked during the March
floods. 1t will be located at or near
the site of the old structure.
Roads Commission officials esti-
mated the cost of the bridge proper at
1926, 900. The Federal Government, if
the project is approved, would pay
approximately half that sum and
Maryland and Virginia would shari
the remainder.
Elimination of a grade croSsin.
over the Baltimore e. Ohio Railroa,
there would cost $4,000 and elimint<
ton of curves would cost approx:>
mately $25,000. The Federal Goverr4
ment would not participate in costs
other than those for actual construc-
ton of the bridge
The cost of the Shepherdstown
bridge was estimated at from $3.50, 900
to $400 900.
The Roads Commission has taken
no definite stand as yet on reconstruc-
ton of bridges destroyed at Hancock,
Harpers Ferry and KeySer- -McCool.

vided to run the District Of Columbia.
The responsibility for providing funds
rests upon the Congress. Under the
Constitution and under the law, the
Congress is to regulate and control
the District of Columbia, and to leg
islate for it. The responsibility is
placed upon our shoulders by the Con-
stitution. Unless We can agree upon
an appropriation there will be no ap-
preparation. If We can submit to the
House confereeS a plan whereby We
can let them agree to larger contri-
button then they are willing to agree
to now, on condition that next year,
If they are right in their stand, they
will have the data upon which TO
predicate the correctness of their
statement, that may be a solution of
the problem. If it is true that the
District OF Columbia is undertaxed the
proposed commission will find that
fact and in the end the House position
will be justified. On the other hand,
If the commission shall find that the
District is overtaxed. then the Senate
will be sustained"
Copeland Backs Chairman.
In suggesting that the conferees
should follow the usual course of first
reporting formal disagreement, Sen
ator McNary inquired why this con-
ference is any different from other
conferences between the House and
Senate. This brought from Senator
Copeland, Democrat, Of New York, one
Of the Senate conferees, the following
reply:
With all of his experience, and We
know how great that is, the Senator
from Oregon has never had an exper-
fence like the conferees have had on
this District bill for the last several
years. I do not want to reflect on the
other House. However, it is utterly
impossible for the conferees to reach
any conclusion regarding this matter
I, myself, think that the chairman OF
the committee is entirely right in the
position he has taken. We cannot hope
to obtain an agreement and the House
has done the unusual thing of passing
d LCoOluNlOll coyhAS I4iob eAlCh OOAlACiCCS
must not change the figure (the S2,-
700,0 900 in the House bilD. The Sen
ate conferees are satisfied that the Dis
trict cannot be run on any such figure
as is proposed by the House"
Senator Thomas pointed out that
the House conferees, being under in
structions to adhere to the $2,700, 600
figure, insist that the Senate accept
their terms until the Senate takes
some action.
In the course of the debate Senator
Thomas also reminded the Senate that
the substantive law by which Congress
some years ago directed that the ex-
penses of the Capital be met, so per
cent by District taxpayers and 40 per
cent by the Federal Government, is
still in existence.
That is the law today, but the law
Is not being observed" Thomas de-
clared. He then described how, under
the lump sum practice, as a substitute
for the 60-40. the figure has been cut
down from $4,000, 900 in the beginning
to the present figure of $5,700,000.
