BULLETIN.

SAA<A = AANs
Authorities in Greensboro, N. c.,
today issued warrant for 19-year-
old Rita Lowell of New York and
arrested young truck driver with
whom the girl mother left her in
fant son Tuesday while on a hitch
hiking trip. The truck driver is
Watson Tuttle, jr., married and
the father of young daughter.
A ls-year-old New York girl, miss
ing from her home for the last two
weeks. appeared at Fort Myer today
and asked that young Cavalryman
under detention there marry her be-
cause, she said, he was the father of
her infant son. whom she left Tues
day with truck driver near Green's
boro, N. c., during the course of a
hitch-hiking trip.
Authorities at the post took no
action in the matter pending further
investigation. They said the soldier
denied paternity and declined to marry
the girl, whom he had known in New
York before he enlisted.
Meanwhile. welfare officials at Wins
ton-Salem, N. c., were planning to
send the infant waif to her foster
grandmother. Mrs Rose Szenftner. in
New York, the Associated Press re-
ported. The mother. who, her foster
mother says. uses the name of Rita
Lowell, came to Washington seeking
an interview with the soldier.
Mrs Szenftner said her foster daugh-
ter's name is Frieda Szenftner, and
she left New York two weeks ago with
her son to come to Fort Myer after
the soldier sent her $40 for the trip.
The young mother was a $5-a-week
employe of Fifth avenue dress shop.
New York police last night wired
Washington authorities for informa-
ton as to the girls whereabouts. At
first, it was feared she might have met
with foul play.
The girl hitch-hiked here Tuesday
with q washington motorist who
picked her up near Greensboro. She
had left her son with Watson Tuttle,
truck driver, who signed a state
ment explaining he picked mother
and son up in Norfolk and they rode
with him in his truck for three days.
The Travellers Aid Society in Phil.
adelphia said the girl and infant were
picked up there a fortnight ago and
disappeared the following day.
Oficers at Fort Myer said the cav
alryman, also l9 years old, has been
in the hospital since April 18 for
treatment of injuries suffered here.
They said he was under detention to-
day. but no charges have been placed
against him.
I'VE are holding the man for any
action the civil authorities may wish
to take" said Col. Jonathan M. VAIN
wright, commanding officer of the post.

ton of Clarence D. Chamberlin, trans
Atlantic flyer, to make an aerial in
spection trip Of sites in his 27-passen-
ger airliner, which he now is0perating
from Capitol Airport. Mr.. Chamber
lin offered to fly the committee over

ton and to land on all of those where

ments within day or two for the in
spection trip, which he believes will
complete more than four months of
continuous study by his committee of
the local airport problem.
Mr.. Lanham denied that his COM
mittee has been responsible for any
delay In handling Of the local airport
problem, pointing out that it has been
impossible to conclude hearings be-
cause Of the i1sistence Of proponents
Of many sites In the District, Maryland
and Virginia that they be permitted

R0WDY|SM CASE
IS AIRED IN COURT
Newspaper Men Barred as
Complaints Are Filed Over
Students Noise.

Numerous complaints charging
rowdyism by visiting high school
students in a near downtown hotel
were registered with Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Milton Norman in
three-hour hearing at Police Court
today.
The case then was continued for
week pending study Of District law
to determine whether the hotel can
be prosecuted for permitting the visit
ing students to create alleged dis
turbances.
Mr.. Norman said he believed guests
and residents OF nearby hotels. apart
ment houses and private homes had
real complaint, but he does not
know at this time whether there is
any law which can be evoked to
quiet the exuberant students.
While newspaper men we're barred
from the session for the first time in
the Police Court branch of the cor
poration counsel's Office, it was learned
from those attending there was a gen.
eral protest covering the neighborhood
of Sixteenth and @ streets NV, where
several hotels cater to the spring visits
of high school students
Many File Complaints.
Among those filing complaints with
Mr.. norman were Rufus o. Lupo, 1910
Sixteenth street NV; Miss Anita
Rennoe, resident manager of 1916 Six
teenth street NV, and Edward Rob-
inson, colored, janitor at 1904 @
street NV.
In addition to those who testified,
there were four hotel managers, 10 resi-
dents and two policemen in attendance
at the hearing.
Hotel officials told reporters it was
almost impossible to eliminate noise at
this particular time of year. Most Of
the disturbance, they claimed. was
caused by Washington men and boys
who drove to the fronts of the hotels,
and in some instances to the alleys,
and called to the high school girls to
ask them to go riding, or sought invi-
tations to visit them in the hotel. They
said they also had called police, but
their jurisdiction extended only to the
property in which the hotel was To-
Gated.
Had to Move Quarters.
Among others appearing was Mrs.
Catherine M. May, manager Of an
apartment house which is separated
from the hotel in question by a narrow
alley. Mrs. May said she had lived for
eight years next to the hotel and the
situation was 50 bad during March,
April and May that she had to sleep in
her living room, since her bedroom was
on the hotel side.
Outside of the witness room Mrs.
May said she had an ll-year-old
daughter who recently inquired
whether there would be a decent"
high school in Washington which she
could attend when she reached the
high school age. Mrs. May said she
told the child the visitors were not to
be taken as examples of the Washing
ton high school students.
Mr.. Norman would not give anv
reason for barring newspaper men
from the hearing except to refer to a
hearing in the old Police Court Build
ing, which was held in the library and
which was presumed to be in connec-
ton with the recently nolle pressed
case against Representative Claude v.
Parsons of Illinois.
