Glasses May Be Doubled Up
at Shepherd Because of
Heavy List.
FRANKLIN BUILDING
SWAMPED WITH CALLS
No Other Complications Attend
Opening Day, Officials
Report.

Serious overcrowding, which prob
ably will result in doubling up Of
some classes at the Shepherd School,
Fourteenth and Kalmia streets, was
the only complication reported to
Franklin Administration Building ON
cials as approximately 10000 school
children enrolled today.
According to Robert L. Haycock,
first assistant superintendent Of
schools, the congestion at Shepherd
is due to the development of the sur
rounding community. He said he had
been assured by Mrs. L. r. Duganne,
school principal, that the overcrowd-
ing was not caused by a large nom
resident influx, although the school
Is near the District line.
No enrolment reports have been
received yet by the junior and senior
high school departments.
In anticipation Of unusual nom
resident registration, Haycock said he
had checked the elementary schools
nearest the District line, but found no
such enrolment increase except in
the Takoma School.
Meanwhile, at the Franklin Build
ing, telephone operators were swamped
with queries of parents, principally
wondering how to enroll children,
whether school would let out early
and making inquiries concerning night
schools.
Glasses, however, were held on regu-
lar schedule, and the buildings will be
used in many cases for night school
registration after $50 o'clock tonight.
Crippled children were taken bv bus
to their new fireprocf accommodations
this morning, the white children to
Langdon in Northeast and the colored
children to the Anthony Bowen
School In Southeast. The Weightman
and Magruder schools, vacated by the
handicapped children, will still be

RICH 'PAUPER' Dies;
RELATIVES HUNTED
Body Rests in Morgue Until
Law Allows Administra-

The body of Herman Bode, 72, whose
frugal, lonely life led to his death in a
charity ward while his wallet bulged

and lived in rooming house in Ho-
boken, N. j., until 10 months ago, when
he was forced to give up his job be-
cause Of i'll health.
Nephew Had Visited Him.

liner

that his wife and three children died
many years ago" Even when told
that death was near Bode said he
wanted no one notified because every
one he knew has the gimmes."

sons who believed they are distant
relatives of the ragged wanderer. None

ship, however.

District Morgue for seven days, await

White House aides from the Army
side protested today that their naval
colleagues are too susceptible to mat
rimony-it has unbalanced the silver

officers assigned to help President and
Mrs. Roosevelt entertain gives up

tomary for the others to buy him q
wedding present-usually silver bowl
I'VE like to do it," said Maj. Horace
Smith, ranking military aide, "but
the Navy's doing all the marrying.
It's beginning to get one-sided."
Navy weddings have outnumbered
Army weddings among the aides for
six or seven years, but the Navy turn
over has been more rapid than usual
recently. Three naval lieutenants and
one Marine captain have married in
the last few months.
Marriage automatically removes an
officer from White House duty, which
requires aides to be available as as
sistant hosts" for all functions.
