NEW SCHOOL AIDE
MAY Be NAMED
Board Is Expected to Act on
Smith Successor This
Friday.

Strong probability developed today
that the Board of Education ut It's
meeting Friday will appoint q new
assistant superintendent Of schools in
charge Of senior high schools to sue
coed DR.. Harvey A. Smith.
Although DR.. Smiths resignation to
take over the post of superintendent
Of schools in Lancaster. Pa, does not
become effective until July 4. informed
sources thought it probable a new ap-
pointment will be announced Friday
when the board holds its final session
Of the summer.
Personnel Committee to Meet.
The boards Personnel Committee,
headed by Vice President Robert A.
Maurer. was to meet at 3 pm. today
to consider the recommendations of
Supt. Frank w. Ballou.
Although the board leans strongly
toward the policy Of appointing from
within the school system. 1t has def
nitely been established that none Of
the principals of local senior or junior
high schools has applied for the job
and this increases the possibility, it
was said, Of An appointment of some
one with senior high school experience
from the outside. e..
DR.. Smiths Views. 80
DR.. Smith said yesterday that he
did not blame the principals In the
least for not applying.
There Is very little difference in
the monetary compensa tion," he ex-
planned, "and there are so many other
compensations to being at a school
and working with boys and girls, that
the slight increase in pay is not sum-
cient inducement to come down to
the Franklin Building and sit all day
at q desk
The retiring assistant superintend-
ent pointed out that many Of the
principals have been sttached to their
schools for many years and would not
want a change under most circum-
stances,

that once when he took friend to
the theater he was spied by an &C
quaintance who cried: Lord, there's

Goes Around in Little Bags.
Mr.. Gaba usually carts Cynthia
around in a number Of little black
bags, laying himself open to arrest
on suspicion Of being hatchet ,nur-
derer. Sometimes, though, he carries
her in MS arms-fully dressed, Of
course.
Not long ago he walked into Chi
cago hotel with Cynthia held in this
manner and it was then that some
wag decided Cynthia had given birth
to Edgar Bergen's knee-cracker.
The fact that bellhops don't care
much for Cynthia developed today
when Cynthia and Miss Betterley were
to put on "double-act" at the con-
vention.
They were to be taken into the ball
room by bellhops. Miss Betterley was
easy, her los pounds being no load at
all, but when the other lad lifted Gym
thia. he groaned. She weighs 125,
too much plaster to be Juggling around

REFUSE COLLECTION
HELD DELINQUENT
Garbage at Municipal Fish Market
Not Taken Regularly, Protest
CHARGES,

A charge that the city's Garbage
Collection Division has been delinquent
in collecting refuse at the Municipal
Fish Market, giving rise to an un-
healthy condition there, was lodged
yesterday with DR.. James G. Cumming
chief of the Bureau Of Communicable
Diseases of the Health Department.
Informed Of the complaint, w. r.
Wood, superintendent Of garbage col
lection, denied that his department
has failed to make regular collections.
The complaint was contained in a
letter sent to DR.. Cumming by :. N.
Ingley, president of the Washington
seafood' Association. He reported that
on Saturday, June 18, no garbage COL
lection was made and that dealers,
offering to take the refuse to the
garbage transfer plant themselves,
were informed by an employe Of the
Collection Division that there was no
,ne at the plant to receive the refuse.
Mr.. Wood said that he did not know
to whom the dealers talked, and could
not understand such statement being
made by one Of his employees, since the
transfer plant. located at New Jersey
avenue and K street Sc, Is open "a
hours q day.
A shortage of funds, resulting from
establishment of the 40-hour week for
employees Of the garbage division more
than q year ago, has made it neces-
sary to cut down the number of COL
lections made at private residences In
the city during certain times Of the
year, Mr.. Wood explained. He pointed
out, however, this does not affect COL
lectionS at such places as the Fish
Market, where unhealthy conditions
might easily arise.

Slain Motorist, to Testify
for Prosecution.
BY w. H. SHIPPEN. Jr.

stan correspondent OF The Star.
ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE, Va,
June 2s.-Selection OF a jury was
proving difficult today at the trial of
23-year-old Edwin scheid, suspended
Falls Church policeman, on q charge
Of numbering Theodore B. Daugherty,
81, a Washington musician.
Trial Judge Walter T. Mccarthy
this morning resumed the questioning
Of prospective jurors behind the closed
doors of his chambers. a procedure
almost unheard of here. His reason
for the order was to prevent prospec-
tive jurors waiting in the courtroom
from being Influenced by the questions
and answers.
Only about IL prospective jurors had
been accepted at noon today of the 20
who must be chosen before each side is
permitted to challenge four without
cause. Most Of those excused have
stated they held fixed opinions as to
the guilt or innocence of the young
defendant
80 Veniremen Discharged.
Nine men remained in the box when
the trial was adjourned late yesterday
after 80 prospective jurors had been
discharged. Judge Mccarthy ordered
panel of "a additional veniremen to
report in court today.
The defense will seek to show that
Mr.. Daugherty was accidentally killed
As Scheid and Policeman Herbert
Knox. "a, also under suspension from
the Falls Church force, shot at his
tires after he tried to run them down
on Lee Highway early on the morning
Of March 20. The officers say they
chased Mr.. Daugherty from Falls
Church some four miles toward Wash
ington in an effort to arrest him for
speeding.
Daugherty Killed by Shot.
One of six shots fired by the police
men struck Mr.. Daugherty in the head.
The death bullet was removed and
subjected to ballistics tests by It. John
Fowler of the Washington police force,
who Is under summons as q prosecu-
ton witness.
Mr.. Daugherty was returning to his
home In Washington after visiting his
parents s-in-law. Mr. and Mrs. George
G. Frazier. in Falls Church, when the
shooting occurred.
The latter couple has been sum-
moned by the Commonwealth. along
with Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence r.
Barghausen, their neighbors.
Another witness for the State will be
Robert Albertis. 1870 Lee highway,
who testified at the preliminary hear
ing in Police Court that the shooting
occurred in front of his home.
Companion Also Indicted.
Knox is under indictment for aiding
and abetting Scheid in the shooting.
He will be tried later II Scheid is con-
victed. Otherwise the indictment
against him probably will be nolle
pressed.
In releasing the prospective jurors
for the night. Judge Mccarthy warned
them not to discuss the case or to read
newspaper accounts.
From the length Of time it is taking
US to select jury" the judge told
the veniremen, you must realize the
amount Of public sentiment aroused by
the case. DO not discuss 1t with any
body"
Attorney Prank L. Ball Is defending
Scheid, while the case is being prose-
cuted by Commonwealth Attorney

SEAL RESTUDy|NC
KILLING BY POLICE
Keys Case Scrutinized for
Possible Reopening After
Hazen Farley.

At the instance of the District Com
missioners, q restudy of the evidence
in the Staying Of Leroy Keys, 80, she'll
shocked World War veteran, was being
made by Corporation Council Elwood
Seal today to determine whether there
Is justification for reopening investi-
cation Of the death.
Commissioner Melvin c. Hozen re-
vealed late yesterday that the evi-
dence had been turned over to Mr..
Seal. If the case is reopened. there
is a possibility Policeman John w.
Nally, who fired the fatal bullet, will
be called before the Police Trial Board,
Mr.. Hazen said. ....
Keys was slain March in his
home at 2470 Ontario road NV,
" lere he had locked himself in, defied
capture and then set the place afire,
an act which police believed en-
dangered the lives Of other persons
in the house Several shots were fired
at him, and ballistics tests indicated,
it was said. that bullet from On1cer
Nally's gun ended the mans life.
Conference Follows Complaints.
Commissioner Hazen'S announce
ment followed conference in his
ONCE with Police Supt. Ernest w.
Brown and virtually every police in
spector, lieutenant and captain on
charges Of brutal treatment Of COL
ored persons by policemen. The con-
ference was called after several COL
ored organizations had complained to
Mr.. Hazen that colored residents were
not getting proper protection.
Mr. Hozen said three cases in which
a colored person was fatally wounded
by a policeman, including the Keys
case, were discussed. He pointed out,
however, that Maj. Brown declared
that in no case has policeman ever
been brought before the Trial Board
on charges of brutality or similar
action.
The Commissioner said he warned
the police heads, however, that he
will not condone brutality on the
part of any member of the police
force.
I'VE insist that policemen follow
the regulations" Mr.. Hasen said. IN
the use of guns, the regulations state
that an officer may not fire at a person
unless he feels his own life is in
danger or unless he strongly suspects
the person is guilty Of major crime. -
Must Pass Examinations.
Referring to other charges brought
by leading colored citizens that there
is not a sufhcient number OF colored
men in the police and fire depart
ments In relation to the colored pop
ulation, Mr.. Hazen said:
Maj. Brown informs me that all
his men are certified by the civil serv-
ice, and that If the candidate does
not pass the civil service tests, he
cannot be certified. ,..
In only one instance was q certified
colored man turned down, and that
was because of q physical defect. II
q man does not pass the examinations,
there is nothing we can do about it,"
There are two colored men on q list
Of approximately IS candidates for
policemen recently certified, Mr.. Hazen
pointed out. ..-
The killing Of Keys was the subject
Of two coroner's inquests, with the
jury failing to agree in each instance.
Later, the case was presented to the
grand jury, which on1cially ignored
