THREE SOLDIERS
HELD IN ASSAULT.
Footprints and Alert Sentry
Lead to Arrest of Trio
in Taxi Robbery.

Three sets of rubber heel prints at
the scene Of the crime and a sentry's
recollection Of name overheard as a
cab passed his station led G-men yes
terday to arrest three soldiers at Fort
Myer, Va, on charges af assaulting
and robbing a Washington taxicab
driver early Thursday.
The three, according to j. Edgar
Hoover, director of the Federal Bu-
reau Of Investigation, confessed they
beat Simon O. Agpaca, 623 M street,
and robbed him of IS about 3 am.
Thursday on a lonely part of the mil
ttary reservation.
The soldiers, being held at Fort
Myer for military trial, are Privates
Bill James Taylor, James Patrick
Dougherty and Wilmer Maphis Payne,
all attached to the fort. After court
martial proceedings, they will be re-
leased to civil authorities for further
prosecution.
Alpaca Beaten in Face.
Agpaca, who is under care Of fort
physicians for possibly fractured IA
cial bones and shock, stumbled into
the military post and reported he had
been beaten and robbed by three white
men In civilian clothes. He could give
no clue to their Identities.
The Army authorities summoned
aoents OF the local field division OF
the F. B. l., who learned Agpaca had
picked up the three on Pennsylvania
avenue, near the Occidental Hotel and
driven them to Fort Myer.
Around Agpaca's blood-stalned cab
were found footprints Of four men.
The agents made casts and several
of the prints were found to have been
made by the cab driver Three other
sets of prints, with clear impressions
of rubber heels of differing patterns,
were obtained.
Sentry Gives Clue.
All sentries on duty at the time
of the crime we're questioned. One
recalled hearing man call out
the name Taylor" as taxicab passed
him about the time Of the assault.
The agents checked names OF all
soldiers at the fort, with the result
that Pvt. Taylor was investigated. A
pair Of shoes in his possession were
found to have rubber heels matching
some Of the prints at the attack
scene, Hoover declared. He then gave
G-men a statement.
The investigation thereupon turned
to Dougherty and Payne, whose rubber
heels were found to correspond with
other prints.
X-rays have been taken OF Alpaca S
head to determine the extent OF his
injuries.

Gallant Crusader Against
the Marijuana Weed

NEW YORK. - The good
y = men do isn't necessarily
inferred with their bones if
they have cooperating wives.
The late Hamilton Wright's
world war on narcotics has
been showed on down through
10 years of tireless fighting by
his widow.
At Richmond, Va, recently, Mrs.
Wright pleaded to the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers for
united and effective action against
the marijuana weed, murderous
Mexican narcotic smoked by school
children. She calls it the most
pernicious of drugs"
In New Mexico, twelve years ago,
the state narcotics commission
found growers and cigarette manu-
facturers pressing a campaign
among children, and they found the
children smoking marijuana. They
passed, a law. The use of the weed
crept on to New York, Rhode Island,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Tex
as and several southern states.
At the Richmond congress, Mrs.
Wright represented the federal bu-
reau of narcotics. In 1921, she be-
gan her service as one Of three in
ternational members of the opium
advisory committee of the League
Of Nations, and has since waged her
fight against the drug traffic in ev-
cry country where it originates. She
was Elizabeth Washburn, the
daughter of the late Senator Will
liam Drew Washburn, who had been
minister to France.
Hamilton Wright travelled, agitat-
ed, organized, wrote and lectured
for years against narcotics. When,
in 1918, he went to Paris as a mem
Der of the peace conference, he was
killed in street accident. Mrs.
Wright, highly placed socially in
Washington, left her pleasant home
and her four children and picked
up her husbands gage where it had
fallen.
In China, Turkey and Persia, she
fought against the world tide of poi
son. She traced the green capsule
Of the poppy, from the fields of Yum
nan and Shensi provinces to the
slums and stews of world capitals.
She rounded up the story of the for
eign wars waged against China to
make her admit Indian opium. With
Ellen La Motto, who wrote "The
Backwash of War" she pieced to-
gether narrative as unlovely as
any chaplet of horror which ever
rested on the brow of the nations.
There are SO many things to be
against these days, it is hard to

pick your opponent. Why not just
take marijuana weed? This writer
speaks with feeling on this subject,
having observed one citizen chew
ing another's ear off in mountain
hamlet in southern Mexico, quite a
few years before the weed became
an -curricular interest in
American high schools.
I had joined in singing the quaint
LA Cucaracha" song about the
cockroach that got SO full of mari
juana weed that he couldn't walk.

song about the drugs peculiar in

become distasteful to anyone who
has seen marijuana at work-also
my experience near Mazatlan
where a peon was shooting up the
town and lunging at passersby with
a machete.
It was about eleven years ago
that the Brooklyn police arrested
Andrew Huerta, a Mexican sailor,
who was selling marijuana ciga-
rettes. In a backyard in Queens, he
showed them a knee-high crop of
marijuana. This led to the arrest

wild tobacco" and looks like to-
mato vine. It is tough growth
and so is the habit. If somebody
bites you on the subway, you will
know what is the matter.
All states, as Mrs. Wright reports,
have laws against its growth or use,
except South Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee. But, SO far as this writ
er can learn, there has been no
unified or vigorous action, there is
meager information and there is &C.

Washington gives no relief for en-

both employables and unemployables
in need. Examples: Enployable fam
lilies receiving relief in December,
Boston. 10,s4S; Cincinnati, 1924;
Cleveland, 1887.
Less relief given per family in
Washington than In other large cities.
In Washington relief averages about
$27 per month per family. In eight
other large cities relief averages from
$50 to $39"
Mrs. Belts also gave detailed fig-
ures on the extent Of illness, indebt-
edness and shortage Of clothing
among needy families, as we'll as over
crowded housing conditions. Her
statement likewise included descrip-
tions Of conditions in q number Of

Leifur Magnusson, chairman Of the
Advisory Committee to the public as

tions that at least 1000 more recip-
tents will be added to the old-age
