Slashed by Sword.
Il once saw place in Perth Amboy
N. j., that had been bombed he
said. but my house looked worse than
that. My son is graduate of Vir-
ginia Military Institute and several OF
his swords were used to chop every
thing and slash the draperies and
curtains"
Immediately on discovering the
damage, Mr. Thyson turned the case
over to eighth precinct police. He said
he thought at first it was the work OF
a maniac or drunkard, but at the out
set Of a police investigation, a pair OF
little woolen gloves, left behind after
the last visit Of the children, was dis
covered. These gloves led to the iden-
tification of the children, one OF
whom is 7-year-old girl, whose
brother, IL, was with the group. tn.
others involved are boys.
The ruined articles included fine
Chinese pieces. Colonial antiques

As to the extent Of the damage
Mr.. Thyson said, Il couldn't figure

guess 1t Is upward Of $4,000 now. The
worst damage was to the ANTIQUES
We had In the house"
Detective Felber said the children
seemed rather nonchalant as they
made their confession and indicated
their acts were all in fun. Several

SCHUITEDEMANDS
FAVOR|T|SM END
Will Stand Behind Policemen
Who Arrest Congressional
Traffic VioIators.

Rigid enforcement of Washinpton's
trafic regulations without fear or
favor" was urged today by Chairman
Schultz Of the trafic subcommittee
Of the House District Committee as
result Of condemnation of members
Of Congress by Representative Rich,
Republican, of Pennsylvania, for their
own violations.
"Ill stand behind the Police De-
partment 100 per cent when they en-
force the trafflc regulations, whether
they arres. members of Congress or
not" said Mr. Schultz.
The Police Department now is CO.
operating with the subcommittee in
its campaign to make the District
trafdc safety conscious, Mr.. Schultz
declared, and he doesn't want the
complaints of several members of
Congress to interfere with the activi-
ties Of the officers.
Rich Denounces Colleagues.
If members of Congress will CO.
operate with the police" he said,
I'VE will come out of this thing. In
stead of LOG traffic deaths as We had
IN Washington last year. We will have
only 30 or 40 this year.
Mr.. Rich denounced members of
Congress on the floor of the House
late yesterday for violating District
traffic regulations and "chastising''
policemen who attempt to arrest them.
I've seen members of Congress
chastise police and call them names" 4"
he said. I'VE should obey the laws.
I hope the police will pull in the
cars Of all members Of Congress where
there Is q violation"
Says Violations Few.
Mr.. Rich's attack was inspired by
. newspaper photograph of a car of
q member Of Congress parked in front
OF a no parking" sign near the De-
partment Of Commerce Building.
Mr.. Schultz said he believed there
are only one or two members who
deliberately violate the regulations.
He said there also are Q few members
Of the police force who go out of
their way" to "chastise" and "em-
barrass" members for publicity pur-
poses.
The subcommittee safety cam
paign, according to Mr.. Schultz, is
having beneficial results. He pointed
out the trafnc fatality record of IT
80 far this year is six under the same
period last year.
