MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 25.-Investi-
CATION Of the ambush staying Of Pat
rick J. Corcoran, leader Of an Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor group, en-
tered its second week today with
authorities still puzzled about who
did the killing, and why.
One agency after another has en-
tered the inquiry and new investiga-
tons are promised. While police and
State Crime Bureau operatives pur-
sued their hunt for the man and the
motive, Coroner Gilbert Seashore
scheduled an inquest for early next
week. and Gov. Elmer A. Benson called
on the United States Department Of
Justice to help solve the crime.
The only persons held by police in
connection with the investigation were
released on writs of habeas corpus
yesterday after having been detained
without charge five days. They are
Eddie and Al Firotti. former Chicago
labor organizers, who had admitted
quarreling with Corcoran four days
before he was shot to death near his
home, but denied any connection with
his death.
Ballistics experts were making tests
Of a .3s-caliber pistol turned over to
them by high school boy who said
he found it near the edge of the city.
It was q .3s-caliber bullet that killed
Corcoran.
The inquiry has been marked by an
exchange Of charges Of "gangsterism"
and terrorism" by A. F. Of L. and
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton representatives One Of the lat
ter, William Mauseth, obtained po-
lice guard for his home when he re-
ported five anonymous telephone calls
had warned him to leave town-or
else"
Shortly after Corcoran's death Mau-
seth demanded an investigation Of
"gangsterism and racketeering" in the
Minneapolis labor movement. The
grand jury, which was reported to
have received the charges, has ad-
journed until December Z without
acting on the case.

denying a petition for first commercial
rating on Alabama avenue southeast
facing Fort Davis Park, H. w. Weikel,
president Of the Bradbury Heights Citi-
zens' Association, yesterday declared
the "entire association Is highly pleased
with the decision"
At its last meeting the group drafted
letter to the commission voicing
unqualified opposition to the applica-
ton, which asked permission to erect
buildings for commercial purposes.
The association pointed out an in
sufhcient number Of people live in the
immediate area to justify erection Of
business houses and that stores would
spoil the natural beauty OF Fort Davis

commercial development would delay
establishment OF the nearby area as
community Of homes.

the petition to have Bowen road be-
tween Ridge road and Forth-f fifth

by District engineers was undertaken

GRATIFYING not only to the
citizens OF the Southeast sec
ton Of the District, but to the cit
liens Of all sections is the inclusion
by the Senate of an item in the
District bill appropriating $685.
900 to start construction OF the
new bridge over the Anacostia
River in line with Pennsylvania
avenue. The limit of cost was
placed at 100000 and the item
was substituted for the appropria-
ton of $4,000 carried by the bill
as passed by the House for repairs
to the old bridge
The proposed new bridge is
companion bridge to the Francis
Scott Key Bridge over the Potomac
River at GEORGETOWN. The Key
Bridge, authorized in 1916, was not
completed and turned over to the
Commissioners until 1924 1t was
constructed under the Secretary
of War and was first called the
Francis Scott Key Bridge by the
then Secretary Newton D. Baker.
This name was made official
through an item in the District Of
Columbia appropriation act for fis-
cal year 1924 reading, Hereafter
the Georgetown Bridge shall be
known as the Francis Scott Key
Bridge" This bridge cost about
S2,500,000.
In April, 1924. the Daughters Of
1872 presented suitable memorial
bronze tablet which contains a
stanza of the Star Spangled Ban
ner. In accepting the tablet, Sec
retary of War, John w. Weeks said,

ture complete and ready to turn

There will be final meeting Fri
day at 1890 pm. In the penthouse

phone Co., when campaign workers

man of the Fund-Raising Committee
Speaking in behalf Of the campaign,
Joseph D. Kaufman, member of the
committees executive board, yesterday
urged Washington merchants to end
strenuous competition at home and
unite their efforts to attract new GUS
toners and money to Washington.
There is only certain amount Of
business here" kaufman said. and
OF course all of us are fighting for our
share. Instead of carrying on such
an intensive internal fight, it Is OBJ
vious to me that If the merchants
allocate some Of their advertising
funds to the Greater National Cap
ttal Committee pool. there would be
more business for us all. More con-
ventions and more tourists attracted
here through the efforts Of the COM
mittee would mean more business dol
lars. We all eventually share In that
new money attracted here.
Il am pleased with the great work
OF the committee and I think that
every business man who thoroughly
understood its work and results would
realize 1t is an excellent investment"

A Civil Service System
Proposed for District.

DRAFTING Of bill to provide
for the creation of an inde-
pendent civil service system for the
District Of Columbia is an i'm
portant task assigned the corpora
ton counsel by the Commissioners.
For years suggestions emanating
from various sources have sug-
gested such reform, but nothing
has ever come Of it.
The local policemen and fremen
are the only District employees COM
ing under civil service through an
arrangement with the United
States Civil Service Commission.
BY an executive order the Commits
sioners are permitted to call on the
commission to certify eligibles for
appointment from the civil service
lists.
District Commissioners and local
civic leaders have always hesitated
to advocate the placing OF the Dis
trict under the United States Civil
Service Commission for the reason
that it would operate as discrim-
ination against District residents
through the quota provision Of the
apportionment-of-ofnces act. 1t
is understood to be the present
plan to so frame q law as to give
District residents the first call for
jobs under their local municipal
government.
Commissioner Allen has been
quoted as advocating that the bill
provide that a person must be
bona flde resident Of the District
for three years to become eligible
for q Job under the District gov
.ernment. Among the civic groups
