House Body Approves
Five-Day Week for
District Firemen
No Additional Expense
Necessary Under Plan,
Chuirmun Holds

The Police and Fire Subcommit-
tee of the House District Commit
te today ordered a favorable report
on bill to establish f1ve-day CO.
hour week in the fire department.
This action was taken before
Rufus Lusk, president of the WASH
ington Taxpayers Association, the
only witness at the hearing, had
completed his statement in opposi-
ton, due to the fact that the House
was meeting at II o'clock, an hour
earlier than usual.
Mr.. Lusk said, flremen are already
well paid and we'll taken care Of.
Representatives Seccombe, Repub-
lican OF Ohio; Bolles, Republican
OF Wisconsin. and Schultz, Demo-
crat Of Indiana, who Is chairman
OF the subcommittee, interrupted
Mr.. Lusk with statements answer
ing him on the grounds of expense.
It had previously been estimated
that the cost to the taxpayers would
amount to $4,000.
Chairman Schultz stated that the
proposed f1ve-day. 6O-hour week
system could be established without
additional cost by the elimination
OF some fire stations and putting the
fire stations farther apart. He also
said he intends to offer an amend
ment to the bill which would prohibit
the firemen from taking any other
employment.
The full District Committee about
a month ago approved a similar
measure on recommendation of the
subcommittee, but subsequently re-
scinded its action and returned the
bill to the subcommittee for further
consideration.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. March
pa 41year-old welder was killed
and his three employees slightly in.
jured today when carbide gas gen.
orator he was attempting to perfect
exploded in his garage at Wells Cor
ner near here.
Henderson F.. Freeman, who lost
both his legs in the terrific blast. was
pronounced deao on arrival at Casu-
atty Hospital in Washington. The
garage was wrecked.
Prince Georges County police said
Mr.. Freeman was attempting to
make his own carbide gas for oxy-
acetylene welding and had Just
started the final experiment when
the explosion occurred.
Albert S. Miller and William
CLANCY, who were in the rear of the
garage changing a tire on an auto
mobile. were knocked down by the
force of the blast. but neither was
injured seriously enough to require
hospital treatment
Arthur Buck, another enploye of
Mr.. Freeman, in the front of the
building near the home made gen-
orator, was thrown from the garage
when a piece of tin sent Through
the air by the blast wrapped around
his shoulders. pinioning his arms to
his sides. He, too, suffered only
minor injuries.
Skaters Windows.
The explosion shattered the win
dows of the building and the wind
shield of an oil truck parked outside.
Aloysius Thompson. l16 North
Carolina avenue Sc. driver of the
truck. was on the far side and es-'
capped injury.
AS soon as the debris. thrown hign
in the air by the blast, had ceased
falling, Mr.. Miller returned to the
garage interior and tied cords around
Mr.. Freeman's legs in an effort to
stop the flow Of blood until an am
bulance arrived.
James Ridgely, who lives nearby,
said he had just walked from the
garage, after chatting with Mr..
Freeman, when the blast occurred.
Katherine and Loretta Ridgely,
both employed in the Prince
Georges County Courthouse, said
the force of the explosion almost
knocked them down in their home,
500 feet from the scene.
Wife Collapses.
Mrs. Freeman, an employe of the
Internal Revenue Bureau in WASH
ington, who had left for work before
the accident, collapsed when she was
told OF the explosion, members of the
Marlboro rescue squad said.
Investigators thought lack of re-
lief valve on the improvised tank
probably caused the explosion Of the
accumulated gases. The metal
drum was blown to pieces, they said.
Mr.. Freeman was attempting to
manufacture the gas, employees said,
by pouring water on carbide in two
OF the 50-pound drums. The gauge
on the wrecked tank registered 80
pounds pressure at the time of the
explosion, but there is no way to
determine the extent of the pressure
generated within the container,
police said.

GoIdsborough Denies
Acting for Diaries in
Continuance Request
Says Milk Case PIeo to
Hozen Was Courtesy
To Constituents

Representative Goldsborough, DEM
ocrat. of Maryland, who was re-
Gently named justice of District
Court, denied today that he was
acting for the Fairfax Diaries. ac-
cused of violating the 1925 Milk
Act, when he requested a contin-
uance In the case against the dairy.
The request he made to Commits
sloner Hazen asking the continuance
was penned at the request of his
constituents. Mr.. Goldsborough said.
He issued the following statement
explaining his position:
I'm the Washington Daily News
of March q headline appears as
follows: New D. c. Judge Acts for
Accused Dairies.'
I'm the afternoon Star the head
line IS Bootleg Cream Trial Delay
Is Asked by Judge Goldsborough.'
I'm each article am spoken of as
former Representative Goldsbor-
ough. I am still Representative
in the American Congress from the
first district of Maryland.
Certain of my constituents. who
ship to the Fairfax Diaries, asked
that I see Commissioner Hazen and
suggest a continuance for two weeks
of case pending against the Fair
fax Diaries because of the illness of
q witness.
Il was very glad to do this for my
constituents as the Representative
OF the 1st congressional district of
Maryland, just as I have done in a
thousand other cases.
THE articles in the News and Star
indicate by inference I am repre-
senting the Fairfax Diaries.
Il don't know who the Fairfax
Diaries are, don't know what the
trouble is about except that from the
papers that were handed me and
which I, in turn, handed to Com
missioner Hazen, assume that the
Fairfax Diaries are accused of re-
ceivlng bootleg cream, whatever that
may be, from Indiana.
"As understand the situation, If
the permit of the Fairfax Diaries
was taken away, it would interfere
with the market which my constitu-
ents have for their milk products.
which, in turn, is the reason why nv
constituents are interested in having
the litigation fairly presented to the
court"

Warring Is Named
in
Suit for Wages
Woitresses ot Night
Club Charge They
Were Not Paid

Emmitt Warning. deposed num-
bers king. now in Jail for contempt
Of court. continues to have his legal
difficulties.
Three former mattresses and hat
check girl at the Brown Derby night
club have named Warning and Allen
Simmonds co-defendants in suits to
collect salaries assertedly due the
women under the Districts mini
mum wage law.
The women assert they were paid
no salary at all, although the min
imum wage for mattresses is $l3.25
per week. They ask for a total OF
81 .228. .68, which includes $45 as re-
endorsement for uniforms they de-
clare they paid in excess of the max
imum of $3.50 for each uniform set
by the Minimum Wage Board. The
Brown Derby is located at 1894
Connecticut avenue NV.
F.. Joseph Donohue, attorney for
both Warning and Mr.. Simmonds
said the latter declares no one else
has any interest In the Brown Derby
except himself. The attorney
quoted Mr.. Simmonds as denying
"emphatically" that Warning is his
co-partner.
Mr.. Donohue said that Warning,
who at present is serving his SEN
tence of two years and two months
at Lorton Reformatory, has not been
served with a summons in the suits.
The ex-king of the numbers business
is at present out Of the jurisdiction
of the court, but will be brought back
to the District probably some time
next month to face for the third time
charges OF income tax conspiracy.
The suits are scheduled to come up
in Municipal Court next Thursday
and Mr.. Donohue said he would ask
for a jury trial for Mr.. Simmonds.
In the affidavit of merit filed with
the court. the hat check girl, Dor
othy Gills of 1915 Massachusetts
avenue NV, asserted she was "com-
PEELED" to turn over to her en-
ployes portions OF her tips on four
days amounting to a total of $14.43
and she asked for reimbursement
for this. She also asked for $l96
in salary for employment from
September to December IA, 1898,
during which, she contends, she was
entitled to be paid not less than
40 cents per hour for a 35-hour
week.
The mattresses each ask for a re-
turn Of SIS which they say they
paid for uniforms over and above
the minimum of $3.50 set by the
board. Each said she paid S for
one uniform and SIS for another,
when the two should have cost
only total of S..
The mattresses and amounts
asked in salaries by each follow:
Virginia Water, 1867 Columbia
road NV. $344.50 for 26 weeks work
from June 6 to December 3, 1898.
Helen Jones. 1861 California street
NV, $287.25 for 81 weeks from July
16 to December 10, 1898.
Helen Howell. 1855 Southwest
Ninth street, Miami, Fla, $344.50,
for 26 weeks from May 81 to No.
vember 10, 1898.
Attorney William F. Martin rep
resents the plaintiffs.
