PERJURY SENTENCES
FOR 3 DUE TUESDAY
Trio Convicted as Result of
Hazy Testimony on 0'Brien
Shooting.

Joseph E. O'Brien, William Russell
Carpenter and Harry Berhle, who
were convicted of perjury in connec-
ton with their testimony at the trial
OF the six men who shot O'Brien July
81, 1896, in a bootleg war, will be
sentenced Tuesday.
They had been scheduled to come
before the court yesterday afternoon,
but their sentencing was postponed
when their attorney, John H. Burnett,
questioned the right of Justice Jesse
G. Adkins to impose punishment
under the Districts perjury statute,
which carries maximum of 10
years imprisonment. He argued that
the men should be sentenced under
the Federal perjury law, the maximum
penalty of which is only five years.
O'Brien was shot down in the 200
block of Second street Sc. He, Car
penter and Berhle testified at the
trial of O'Brien's assailants that they
could not remember certain salient
facts and perjury indictments re-
suited.
During the subsequent trial of
O'Brien a youthful gas station at
tendant, Burt J. Watson, testified
O'Brien told him Emmett Warning
had paid him $4,000 to keep quiet"
Warning is the brother of Charles
R. (Rags) Warning, leader of the
gang which staged the shooting.
Later it developed that Watson was
threatened before the trial because
he had talked" to Assistant United
States Attorney Roger Robb.

CIVIC UNITS TO GIVE
D. c. BILL VIEWS.
Citizens to Be Heard by
Senate Subcommittee
Starting Monday.

The Senate subcommittee handling
the 1889 District appropriation bill
probably will spend several days,
starting Monday morning, hearing
neighborhood groups and city-wide
civic organizations on proposed
changes in the measure as 1t passed
the House.
Hearing of municipal department
heads was completed yesterday, when
public school officials presented the
need for items in which the House
reduced budget estimates. The House
took total of more than s600,O00
from various parts Of the school
budget.
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma,
chairman, said he vii seek prompt
committee action on the bill as soon
as the civic delegations have con-
ferred. There are strong indications
the s765,000 for street lighting will
be. put back into the highway fund,
thereby holding down the general
fund deficit, even though the House
rejects the transfer. Another major
decision facing the subcommittee is
whether to raise the 100000 allowed
by the House for unemployment re-
lief.
One of the controversial questions
is the House action transferring juris-
diction over school Fairgrounds dur
Ing the summer months from the
Fairgrounds Department to the Com
munity Center Office.
Senator Thomas said the subcom-
mittee heard testimony yesterday as
to whether the language of the bill
should be clarified to make sure small
children could go on the Fairgrounds.
For several years there has been a
clause in the appropriation law to
prevent the use of school funds for
the instruction of children under 5
years of age in kindergartens.

tional Capital Parks, on the one hand.
and the cooperation in program of
activities between the School Board s
Community Center and the District
Buildings Playground Department, on
the other.
The engineers of the three agencies,
they said. have gotten together very
successfully in planning for the uni
form development Of about A recrea-
tional areas.
On the other hand, they said, the
attempt to coordinate activity, though
delayed by the planning phase from
1885 until last summer, was unsuc-
cessful
Opportunity for Friction.
1t was pointed out that opportunity
for friction lay in the fact that the
two agencies operate under different
authority and that the Playground
Department., with large personnel,
must take out permits through the
Community Center to stage sometimes
similar activities on school grounds.
To illustrate, a case was cited where
the Playground group wanted to get a
school gym for a basket ball game.
The fee to be charged by the center
was the custodian's pay plus 81 ad-
ditional for center employe to watch
the game to see that everything went
of all right.
A playground oficial felt playground
supervision is qualified to see that
everything goes OF all right, that the
custodian was there 10 protect the
property, and that hence the 81 was a
waste of money which the department
did not have available to spend. School
children, it was added, are not charged
for their use of municipal Fairgrounds.
A school official, however. pointed
to the fact that the Community Gen.
ter is responsible for school property
when used after school hours, and
that the practice of center employe
supervision is general to all groups
using the facilities.
Jealous of Jurisdiction.
Each department, it is said, feels
the other Is bent on absorbing it and
consequently is suspicious of anything
which might involve REIMBURSEMENT Of
some jurisdiction to the other.
An additional fact cited as making
for ill feeling is that the playground
group must take out permits as an
individual. Playground employees and
supporters have expressed the feeling
that city-wide organization should
have preference over private smaller
groups regarding school facilities, but
Community Center feeling is that
there is no advantage in putting out
one group of citizens in favor of an
other. The center operates on first
come-first-served basis.
Civic dissatisfaction with the recre-
alton arrangement, which resulted in
the present attempt at coordination.

~ Mrs. Maria Marshall and her
cousin, Abraham Lincoln.
Today, while hundreds of patriotic
organizations pay tribute to the l29th
birthday anniversary of the Great
Emancipator, Mrs. Marshall is quietly
working on quilt she is making for
her Observation-Disclosures and
awaits q simple celebration Of her
88th birthday anniversary tomorrow.

plenty Of it, regardless of age Mrs.
Marshall keeps house at her daugh-
ter's apartment, 2S01 Adams Mill road
NV, while Miss Emily Hanks Mar
shall is at her work as Indicator at
the Veterans Administration.
Related Through Mother.
Mrs. Marshall isn't quite sure Of
her exact relationship with the former
President but her mother, the former
Elizabeth Hanks, and Lincoln's moth
er, Nancy Hanks, were either first or
second cousins.
Born in Albany, ILL.,, in 1850, Mrs.
Marshall was reared by an uncle,
Capt. s. B. Hanks, who claimed he
was on the first raft ever to 60 down
the Mississippi without oars on the
bow to help guide It," and known up
and down the river as Uncle Steve"
Besides her daughter here Mrs.
Marshall has another daughter, Mrs.
Clara Booth Of Lttchfield, Mimi; six
grandchildren, eight great-grandchil-
dren and the one great-great-grand-
child, Patsy Ruth Eckbom, age Q

were made under varying auspices, all
advocating some unification or co-or-
dination.
Despite the interest, nothing was
done until the spring Of 1885, when,
at the reported instance of Frederic
A. Delano, chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion, President Roosevelt wrote letter
to each Of the three agencies asking
them to get together and work as a
unit. He had been told. the President
said, that this would improve recrea-
tional efficiency about one-third.
The result was the formation of the
present Recreation Committee, con-
sisting Of Commissioner Allen. Henry
I. Quinn of the Board of Education.
c. Marshall Finnan of the National
Capital Parks and Mr.. Delano as non-
voting chairman.
Tentative Agreement Drafted.
A tentative agreement was drawn up
and Lewis R. Barrett was obtained
from the Public Works Administra-
tion's Housing Division as co-ordi-
nator.
Mr.. Quinn insisted on Incorporating
into the agreement clause specifying
that each agency is to have absolute
control over its own facilities and per-
sonnel.
The agreement was approved by the
School Board in June, 1896, and by
the Park ONCE shortly after. 1t was
then forwarded to the District Build
ing for signature and after some time
came back with a few suggested
changes. These were agreed to and
1t became official in January, 1887.
Despite the difficulty in arriving at
satisfactory understanding, the CO.
ordinator had been at work on the
planning phase Of coordination since
August, 1885.

SERIES OF THEFTS
LINKED T02H HELD
Men Brought Here From
Philadelphia
$4,000 in Goods.

Solution Of scores Of housebreakings
during the past six months may result
through the return here today of two
men arrested in Philadelphia last night
on charges of theft and disposing of
stolen goods amounting to 100000.
Most of the loot. the Associated Press
quoted Detective Capt. James Ryan as
saying, was taken from apartments of
Washington residents. About $4,000
worth was recovered.
The prisoners, identified as Lester
A. Engle, A, Philadelphia jeweler. and
Herman Held. IS. alias Herman Ross,
600 block of G street NV, were
brought to Washington by Detective
Sergts. Joseph Shimon and Harry Brit
ton.
Pawn Shop Raided.
They were taken into custody In a
raid on a pawn shop which detectives
said Engle operated. Trays, candle
sticks. watches. pins and rings were
among the articles which were re-
ported stolen here.
Held was accused Of breaking into
the apartments, testing jewelry with
acid and taking whatever he found
might be valuable.
He sought to escape detectives who
went to arrest him by leaping from a
second-story window at the store. He
landed unhurt, but was captured be-
fore he could run.
Tips Lead to Arrests,
Inspector Bernard w. Thompson
said the arrest OF the men came about
through Tip" here that packages
of stolen property were being deliv-
cred to the Philadelphia shop.
Engle is being held at No. precinct
and Held at No. g. A third man ar
rested in the raid was released after
questioning.
While police sought to locate the
owners Of the stolen property, a search
was instituted for two bandits who
last night held up a grocery store and
filling station, escaping with more
than $500.
Grocery Proprietor Robbed.
One was a sharp-featured white
man, armed with a revolver, who
robbed Oscar Gildenhorn, proprietor
of the grocery at 1847 Columbia road
NV, of S455.
Mr.. Gildenhorn. his wife and several
clerks were in the store when the
bandit entered, brandished the re-
volver and took the money from a
cash register
In the other hold-up, Chester F..
Surba, night manager at a Lord Bal
timore filling station, 1924 L street
NV, was forced to turn over $46 to
a young colored youth with a gun.
The 80 "drifters" picked up during
the past few days to rid the city of
transient criminals were viewed by
hold-up victims at q special lineup
at police headquarters last night.
None was identified, but several were
charged with vagrancy when they were
unable to give a reasonable excuse for
their presence in the city.
