fund OF $4,000
FOR AUTO TESTING
HERE T0BE ASKED
Two Stations and Provision
for Inspectors and
Material Included.
SITES RECOMME Tended
FOR TWO STRUCTURES
One on West Virginia Avenue NE.
Near Mount Olivet Road-Other
at E and Twelfth S.W.

A supplemental appropriation of
roughly $4,000 will be sought by
the Commissioners in the near future
TO provide for construction of two
testing stations and provision of in
spectors and equipment for operation
of the Districts new automobile in
spection law.
The Commissioners have before
them for approval recommendation
OF a committee Of District officials
proposing erection of one of the test
Ing stations on West Virginia avenue
NE. to the north of Mount Olivet
road and another on the northeast
corner OF Twelfth and E streets S.W.
Both sites are owned by the Dis
trlct. The West Virginia avenue tract
now is used partly by the w. P. A.
woodward force and by the Highway
Department. The other site is a part
OF the Farmers Produce Market area.
Annual Inspections.
The act, signed recently by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, provides that all pri-
vate vehicles must be given mechani-
al inspections once a year. For the
1irst year the charge will be 81 and
thereafter so cents.
The fee will be collected at the time
the 1889 automobile tags are sold
unless the date for expiration of this
years tags is changed to March /,
as now suggested. In that case the
fee will be charged before the tests
begin, early next January.
Originally it had been planned
tentatively to have three District sta
tions, but one was dropped because
of lack of suitable District-owned
land in the Northwest section, it was
explained by Auditor Daniel j. Dono-
van, head of the committee. If neces-
sary, a third can be provided later,
he said.
Four Lanes Sought.
Because of the reduction in the
number of stations the committee
recommends that each of the two
stations have four lanes instead of
three to handle the testing of head
lights, horns, brakes and glass of the
cars. Each lane would be operated
by six inspectors.
OF the proposed $4,000 appropria-
ton 100000 would be for construction
of the garage-like structure planned
for the Southwest station, s66,000 for
the Northeast station, $4,000 for
equipment, $4,000 for miscellaneous
items and roughly $4,000 for the
hire of So employees for the last six
months of the next fiscal year, from
next January to July /.
Government vehicles must be tested
twice a year, but free of charge.

To Christen Warship Herself
Mrs. Casbariar, Is Ciuei,
Honor Rare Among
u. S. Employees.

The Navy Department employe, who
for some 20 years has been assembling
the genealogical information on which
the Secretary Of the Navy bases the
names Of new destroyers and tenders
and selects their sponsors, is to chris
ten a Warship herself-the vessel to
be named the U. S. S. Saury.
Secretary Swanson today announced
that Mrs. James Paul Casbarian has
been designated as sponsor for subma-
rine No. l89, now under construction
at the plant of the Electric Boat Co.
at Groton, Conn. The submarine is
to be launched July 80. In the Ameri-
can Navy submarines are named after
fish; battleships honor the various
States; cruisers are named for cities.
while deStroyers, submarine tenders
and Seaplane tenders are named for
former Secretaries of the Navy, for
great inventors, for officers and en-
listed men of the Navy and Marine
Corps, and for Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have conspicuously
aided the Navy.
Delves Into "Trees -
The policy of the Navy Department
is to select as sponsor the nearest of
kin of the man honored in the naming
of new warship. Delving into the
family trees of these people is Mrs.
Casbarian's job. She makes up reg
ular genealogical chart and submits
this to. the chief clerk of the Bureau
of Navigation of the Navy Department,
Edward Henkel. This is then passed
on to Rear Admiral Adolphus Andrews,
chief of the bureau, who transmits
it to Secretary Swanson for further
action. The cabinet officer names
new vessels and elects their sponsors.
upon recommendation of the chief of
the Bureau of Navigation. But Mrs.
Casbarian lays the groundwork for
this.
Mrs Casbarian. who resides at 1854
Monroe street NV. joined the Bureau
of Navigation during the World War,
and has been there continuously since.
During the war she was yeoman %,
regularly enlisted in the Navy. She
is a native Washingtonian.
Her work in genealogical research
neceSsitates vast amount of COR
respondence, for it is the policy of the
Navy Department to seek out the
nearest relative of the man honored in
the new destroyer, seaplane tender or

SUSPECT LINEUP
Comparatively Few HoId-up
Victims Cooperate in
Police Drive.

Disappointment at the public's fail
ure to cooperate in the effort to
reduce crime in the District was ex-
pressed today by Detective Chief Ber-
nard w. Thompson following the at
tendance of only handful of victims
of recent hold-ups, purse -snatchings
and robberies at one of the biggest
line-ups of prisoners in months.
AS result Of three-day roundup
of suspicious characters by the new
special pickup squad" 172 prisoners,
most of them colored, were placed
under the bright lights for inspection
at police headquarters last night.
Attempts to link the suspects with
the crimes were not so successful,
however, with only seven being ten
tatively identified. twenty-five others
were detained for further questioning
and the remainder released.
165 Invited, 40 Show Up.
The lineup had been advertised
to the extent of inviting 165 persons
to come to headquarters and view the
prisoners, Inspector Thompson said.
Only 40 of those invited put in an
appearance.
Representative Schultz Of Indiana,
who last week was held up by two
bandits, was among those who at
tended. He did not identify any OF
the suspects. Mr.. Schultz indicated
he was pleased with the renewed
efforts of police to combat crime, but
said he thought the facilities at head
quarters for handling such line-ups
were inadequate He termed the old
Administration Building "disgraceful''
and added he believed the District gov
ernment should rent a building until
funds are appropriated for new one.
Petty Crime Decreases.
Meanwhile, the current drive on
thugs continued to curb the activities
of petty criminals, with only one hold
up and several minor housebreakings
being reported in the past "a hours.
The hold-up victim, Oxford Stroud,
2430 Thirty-ninth street NV, told
police he was help up by "thin-faced'
white man while he was walking on
Calvert street NV, near Tunlaw road
last night. After relieving him OF

ordered him to continue his walk on

renee Q. Payne Of Cleveland. Nearly
200 delegates from all over the
state attended, ond gave both can
didates a rousing reception.
Speaking first, MI. Taft thanked
the delegates for the splendid sun
port given him during the primary.
and then predicted that the Repub-
lican party would sweep to victory
in November
He said the party had neglected
the Negro in the past, but that ii
now had 4 new approach to the

power, he pointed out.
The Negro suffers more under
autocratic government ,than any
other group, Mr.. Taft stated. He
then declared that the Supreme
Court is the basic protection for the
Negro. What the race wants. he
stated, is protection in its constitu.-
tional rights.
am in favor of the anti lynching
bill, Mr.. Taft stated. He admitted
that the Republicans in the Senate,
made mistake in their vote on
cioture, and he also pointed out
that the bill never got White House
support, until it was too late to do
any good. He said he favored elm

In his talk, John w. Bricker said
he was tremendously encouraged as
he had never before seen as many
distinguished colored leaders. The
only way, he stated, to build party
organization, is to recognize the

that will be affected on the change

continued, can determine who are

He then listed five REQUESTS foI

NO mention Of the lynching sp-
peared in the papers Of that sec n
OF Florida, but Prices body was
viewed by several persons in addi-
ton to the undertaken. Rev. Mr..
Burke, pastor of the church at HUI
ford, where Price was Il deacon, also
knew Of the lynching,
The NAACp, in commenting on
the lynchings Of 1888, pointed out
that only two of them have been
heralded in the press. The prolonged
debate over the federal anti lynchiIlg
bill last January and February has
driven lynching underground and
much more diligence is required to
search out lynchings than was
needed before. The Perry, Fla,
lynching is case in point. Still
another lynching is supposed to have
taken place in Derry, but no facts
have been brought to light as yet.
