INSURGENTS REFUSED.

MADRID. February 20 (P).-Gov-
ernment troops tented at insurgent
siege lines northwest of the city in
an effort to divert fierce pressure to-
day on her southeastern defenses, in
preparation for renewed government
assaults.
The governments sudden thrust to
the northwest drove insurgents from
coveted heights near Aravaca, only a
few miles from Madrid, and brought
a concentration of insurgent troops
there along the Coruna highway.
A government attack was expected
to determine whether the maneuver
had substantially weakened insurgent
pressure on the Jarama River front
to the southwest and on other sectors
of the besiegers' semi-circle about the
city.
It was known, however, that in
surgents were concentrating both on
the northwest and the southeast.
Insurgents Repulsed.
A fierce four-hour battle yesterday
preceded the government victory on
the northwest. Insurgents were forced
from Las Perdices Hill and other
heights from which they had doni-
mated the Coruna road.
The victory placed the government
in positions to capture q railway
skirting Aravaca and the Coruna
highway The government formerly
operated an armored train over this
line.
Taking advantage of the insur-
gents quick shifting of position, gov
eminent airmen swooped down on a
train Of trucks carrying troops to
Leganes, south of Madrid, and blasted
at it with bombs.
An immediate objective of the un-
expected northwestern onslaught,
government officials said, was to deal
the enemy a demoralizing blow
through heavy casualties.
Eighty-three insurgent soldiers, cap
tured January 19 in an attack on
Cerro de Los Angeles (Angel HID
just south Of the city. traded uniforms
and marched OF to the front to fight
with, instead of against, Madrid.

TRIO FACE CHARGE
IN BANDIT PROBE
One of Men Accused as Aide
of Red-Haired Parks
Surrenders.

Cleaning up details on the alleged
activities Of the "red-haired bandit"
and his aides. Detective Chief Bernard
w. Thompson said three youths under
arrest in the case would be formally
charged today.
With two suspects already in Gus
tody, a third-James Phelps, 18, Of SO
Randolph place-surrendered at his
home last night after returning to the
city from hurried trip to Florida.
Sought Since Monday.
Phelps had been sought since Mon
day, when Richard Parks. accused by
police as the "red-haired bandit" and
an. alleged accomplice, Silvio Daneri,
were captured.
Both Phelps and Parks were taken
into custody under somewhat similar
circumstances. Parks arrest resulted
when his mother, Mrs. Richard Nor
ley, went to headquarters because she
feared her son was in trouble. Phelps
father, Clyde c. Phelps, called Sec
ond Precinct Detective r. j. Magnan,
a friend of the family, knowing his
son was wanted.
The three have been linked by po-
lice with series of hold-ups of mer-
chants in the Northwest section.
Statement by Phelps.
Inspector Thompson said Phelps
made a statement at headquarters
last night corroborating a reputed
confession by Parks. Daneri, police
say, was the driver for the pair.
Victims Of the depredations, who al
ready have identified Parks, will be
summoned. to headquarters in an at
tempt to identify Phelps. Thompson
said
Phelps eluded the robbery squad
Monday night by leaping from a
second-story back porch while the
officers were at the front door.

Says Trouble Existed.
Breslin commented: There was no
trouble between Fay and Rosoff, but
there was trouble between Rosoff and
Redwood and between Fay and Red
wood. Mrs. Redwood told us Fay
telephoned her home yesterday morn
ing"
The prosecutor refused TO give de-
tails of Mrs. Redwoods statement
however
Members of Redwood's union were
on strike in New York on two prof.
ects-construction of sewers at Ward
Island and building of the new Sixth
avenue subway-on which the Rosoff
Tunnel Corp. holds contracts.
After the bullet-torn body of Red
wood was found at the wheel of his
automobile in the driveway of his
Laurelton Parkway home last night,
county and local police questioned for
several hours some 20 union officials,
neighbors and relatives Of Redwood in
seeking details of the shooting.
The 52-year- union leader met his
death after driving home from the
union Office at 324 West Forty-second
street, New York.
Mrs. Redwood said he had tele-
phoned her at 6:15 pm. and said he
was leaving for home" While pre-
pairing supper less than two hours
later, she heard what she thought was
an Automobile backfire" and hurried
out Of the front door to find her hus-
band dead, slumped down on the
drivers seat Of the car.
The woman said she saw an auto
mobile pull away from the curb, and
police believed in it rode the men
who had fired volley of shots at
Redwood. -Four bullets pierced his
body, two in the head and two in the
ep0omen, an autopsy showed.
Celebration Planned.
Redwood had been connected with
the union since 1914, but had held his
present position for less than year,
his wife said. She added that they
had planned to celebrate their silver
Wedding anniversary March 26.

LEVEESPLANNED

SeaWaII Under Construction
Expected to Protect Area
From Floods.

Flood control levees Of the type
which have been holding the Missis-
sippi River in check are being con-
structed at Boiling Field.
Since, at the Anacostia Naval Air
Station, the riverside hangers are
the low point of the food defense line,
waterproof doors are to be installed,
the levee line coming up to the hang
ars on either side.
During the past three years. Boil
ing Field has had two costly expert
ences with floods. The first, in the
Fall of 1898, was unexpected and
necessitated vacating the old wooden
barracks for the new brick building
which had just been completed at the
new Boiling Field. The second flood
was in March, 1896. This time. how
ever, the food had been anticipated
and all movable equipment had been
transferred to high ground.
To prevent future floods, the Army
Engineer Corps is constructing a sea-
wall or levee from the extreme north
end of Boiling Field to the higher
ground Of the new field to the south.
The old field is only 10 feet above
sea level and only few feet above
the Potomac river level at normal
high tide. The new levee is 10 feet
higher and Is being made of dirt
excavated from nearby hillside.

wall, coupled with sufficient warning

The post meteorological department
also has been pressed into service in
the flood fight and now maintains a
lookout for weather conditions in the
upper Potomac Valley, which might
bring flood danger to the low-lying
field area. Detailed flood plans also
have been made for the removal of
airplanes. flying equipment and sup
plies in case of emergency.
1t is believed, however, there will
never be any need for putting these
plans into operation once the levee
system is completed.
