between the four conferees is that of
designating the industries in which the
A. F. Of L. is willing to withdraw all
jurisdictional claims and leave. free
scope for organization on an Indus
trial basis only.
This type Of unionization, the prin-
cipals on which the G. I. o. was
founded and has grown, is virtually
unopposed in nearly q dozen indus
tries already, but in several in which
the c. I. o. has an important stake
there has been q reluctance by the
Federation to surrender its claim even
though their representation is neg
ligiole.
Best example Of this classification
is the automobile industry, where the
c. I. O. has the only effective organi-
zation, but where the Machinists
Union OF the A. F. of L. has scattered
locals and is continually fighting to
retain . foothold.
With the G. I. O. demanding ex-
elusive jurisdiction in the mass pro-
duction, marine, public utility, service
and basic fabricating industries. even
the surrender Of dozen by the Fed
Grafton would leave as many more the
centers Of bitter conflict between dual
unions. This condition exists, for ex-
ample, in the maritime and electrical
industries where both factions have
strong unions

Ross had been offered an inducement
to make the admission.
The prosecution has indicated the
last Of its 80 witnesses may be heard
this afternoon or at tonight's session,
ordered by Judge Coleman in an effort
to conclude the trial Saturday. The
defense expects to present about a
dozen witnesses before putting Ross on
the stand.
When State Trooper H. L. Robertson
took the stand late yesterday to tell
of a conversation he had with Ross
while taking the marine from the brig
at Quantico to q Jail in Alexandria,
Defense Attorney Moncure won 4 mo-
ton that the jury be withdrawn.
Trooper Robertson then told the
court that Ross made q voluntary

for examination by Virginia police
Sergt McDermott identified the gun
as one he took from dresser drawer
in the home of Ross father at Aber-
deem. Md, shortly after the arrest Of
the young marine.
A .38-caliber exploded shell was
identified by 1t. Fowler as having
been fired from the pistol. Sergt Nc
Dermott testified Ross gave him the
shell, saying he found it in a boot
under his bed at Quantico Barracks.
When the State put Detective Edgar
Sims of the Alexandria force on the
stand, the defense asked that the jury
be dismissed because an alleged con-
fession was to be discussed.
The jury was excused and Defense
Counsel Frank P. Moncure put Ross
on the stand briefly.
The slim young defendant told the
court he admitted pawning the watch
when Sims told him it would be easier
for him if he did so. Questioned by
Judge Coleman, he said he admitted
pawning the watch only to get the
benefit promised him.
Judge Coleman also questioned Ross
as to his Identification by Klotzman
in the Alexandria Jail.

beside 4 little-used section Of the
Whitewater road near here. The
young marine, Robertson said. told
him he shot Davidson through the
head from about two feet" and
therefore couldn't miss"
Policeman Robertson told the court
Ross did not reveal his motive for the
killing. He said at that time he un-
derstood Ross already had made
confession to Sergt. McDermott, and
that he did not press the prisoner for
details.
On insistence of Attorney Moncure
Capt. O'Brien was put on the stand.
He said that although he was riding
in the back seat, he did not hear Ross

drive to Alexandria.
Defense Outlined.
In his opening statement yesterday
to q jury Of 10 farmers, stone
mason and q supervisor Attorney
Moncure declared the defense will
prove that Ross, whom he described
as an inexperienced farm boy, shot
only to defend himself from the i'm
proper advances of the middle-aged
bachelor.
Mr.. Moncure declared the slain
man had habitually sought out young
service men stationed at Fort Myer,
Fort Belvoir and Quantico, taking
them for rides in his expensive road
ster.
He said Davidson gave Ross ride
to Quantico on at least one occasion
previous to the Staying.
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald Of
the District. who performed an
autopsy on Davidson's body, when it
was exhumed a month after the slay-
ing, told the jury yesterday the at
torney had suffered two wounds, either
of which would have proved fatal.
One wound was caused by q sharp
instrument driven through the breast
bone and into the heart, and another
by a bullet fired through the head
at an angle which indicated the gun
was held above the wound OF entry.
The coroner said Davidson appeared
to have . second stab wound in the
back.

INDIVIDUAL DRIVES
FOR CHEST PUSHED
Six Major Units Officially
Disbanded, but Smaller
Groups Press Fight.

Thirty-two individual Community
CHEST drives were in progress today as
the six major campaign units were
oiacially disbanded and campaign
headquarters was moved from the
willard Hotel to permanent Chest
ofices at 1101 M street. The indi-
vidual drives are to continue until the
quota of $2,059,00O for 1899 has been
rAised.
Final figures received yesterday
from the Chest Audit Unit made little
change in the figures announced at
the final report meeting Tuesday at
the Willard. The official totals are
1888 pledges. amounting to $780,
1850, it was reported. This leaves a
shortage of $226,52l.4o.
Although the units officially were
diSbanded today, number of groups
In the various units were carrying on
final drives for increased gifts or to
contact prospective givers who had not
previously been reached. There
seemed to be some confusion among
givers about increases. some of them
evidently thinking that such increases
must be made in cash.
Herbert L. Willett, jr.. director of
the Chest, explained that additional
pledges would be just as welcome as
cash.
IF any person who has already
given wishes to make an additional
gift" he said, that person can either
increase the pledge already made or
make an additional pledge, to be paid
throughout the year on the same basis
as the original pledge"
Members of the Tenth Anniversary
Campaign Committee prepared to &c
forth in quest of more contributions
some Of them setting an immediate
example by making substantial in
creases of their own pledges. Among
these were President Clarence Phelps
Dodge and Arthur HELEN, Chest coun-
sci, while several others preferred to
remain anonymous. Others already
had increased their gifts before the
final meeting
Among pledges received of S1O0 OF
more at the final meeting and re-
ported by the Audit Unit yesterday
were:

tional

CHURCH ZONE
RULEDR0PPED
IN DISTRICT
Commissioners Grant
Blanket Authority
In License Field

Overcoming objections by local
church organizations, the District
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
today won its battle for authority
to license liquor establishments
within 400 feet Of church.
The board got more than it
originally asked for when the Dis
trict Commissioners approved
recommendation repeating the en-
tire third section of the liquor reg
ulations, which contained a ban
against all types of liquor estab-
lishments within 400 feet Of
churches and schools, unless writ
ten consent was obtained from the
institutions.
Originally, the board asked for
an amendment to this section,
which would give it discretionary
authority to license package goods
stores only in commercial areas
within 400 feet of a church.
The commissioners ordered the
board to conduct public hearing
on the proposed amendment. While
sentiment of civic and business
groups was divided at the hearing,
church organizations put up a
united front and fought the amend
ment to the end.
In recommending repeal of the
entire section, the A. B. C. board
stated the section had already been
amended four times and that there
was a possibility further amend.
ments would be sought in the
future.
It also was pointed out that
under another section of the regu-
lationS, the board must deter
mine appropriateness of the
establishment to be licensed and
that consent Of q majority of
real estate owners within a radius
Of 600 feet of the establishment
must be obtained.
AS a result of today's action
by the commissioners, the ABC
Board now has authority to IL
cense any type of liquor estab-
lishment within any distance of
a church or school. so long as
the 600-foot consent regulation
is observed.

CITIZENS URGE
NEWBRIDGE

Construction of a new bridge
over the Anacostia River instead
of repairing the old one at Penn
sylvania Avenue was suggested to
a Senate subcommittee today as a
proper memorial to Thomas
Jefferson.
A group of citizens including
George C. Shinn, chairman of the
Bridge Committee of the Board of
Trade; DR.. Lewllyn Jordan and
George Oakley Totten, jr., ap-
peared before the District SUBJ
committee of the Senate Appro-
priations Committee to discuss the
Pennsylvania Avenue project in
the 1888 appropriations bill.
The House cut from the budget
estimates sum to begin construc-
ton of a new bridge and substi-
tuted $4,000 to repair the old one.
Mr.. Shinn urged the subcommittee
to eliminate the $4,000 item and
to substitute an adequate amount
to begin new bridge. He sug-
gested it could be made memorial
to Jefferson.
DR.. Jordan and Mr. Totten pro-
posed the new bridge should be
of suspension type and Mr.. Totten
asked that local architects be en-
ployed to design it.
The delegation included George
Flather, president of the woodrow
Wilson student council; Miss Jean
Cromelis, a student of the school,
and Mrs. Leslie B. Wright asked
the committee to include $87, 900
for a stadium in front of the
school and a $1,000 for books for
the library. Mrs. Wright also
joined with Paul M. Williams and
w. J. Calnan in a request for
$3.50 to finish the Alice Deal

SCHULTZ ASKS
PARKING BAN
DOWNTOWN j..
Declares Contested
Streets Should Be
Open for Traffic

Elimination Of all downtown
parking in the District was rec
commended today by Representa-
tive William T. Schultz CD Of
Indiana, a member of the House
District Committee.
Mr.. Schultz announced he will
request the District Committee
at it's next meeting Wednesday
to consider his proposal.
Earlier this. week District Com.
missioner Melvin C. Hazen also
expressed the opinion parking
should be abolished on downtown
streets.
Called Aid to Business
Downtown parking creates most
of the traffic difficulties in this
city, Representative Schultz said,
pointing out that if this problem
were eliminated, 80 per cent of
the Districts traffic troubles
would disappear. He said:
at is an incOntrOvertibIe fact
that parking blocks traffic, and
this being so, it seems to me
that the only sensible solution
is the abolition of parking on
the more cOngeSted streets in
the downtown section"
Representative Schultz an
swered the objections of mer-
chants by pointing out that in
stead of injuring their business,
parking ban would help them.
The store owners had complained
that such a ban would keep pa
irons from their stores.
Raps Park-O-meters
Mr.. Schultz also announced his
opposition to the park-o-meter
proposal made by the District
Commissioners, declaring:
parking causes the trouble,
50 why make it easier to park
with these meterS?"
In the tax proposals, the Com
miSsionerS are authorized to in
stall the park-o-meters as a means
of raising funds in the event their
five-point program fails to raise
sufficient revenue.
Representative Schultz was a
member of the District subcom-
mittee last year which investi-
gated traffic conditions in Wash
ington.
