Sidewalk Vendors
Face Police Drive
Against Stands
Officials Receive
Complaints Thot Wares
Homper Pedestriuns

A furry of complaints from down.
town shopkeepers and business Of
fees today promised to ruin the
trade of magazine vendors who sell
from improvised street corner
stands" of empty boxes.
For years the police have been
lenient with such vendors, overlook
ing the law violation in setting up
improvized magazine stands on the
sidewalk.
Practically every busy intersection
in the heart of the city has at one
time or another been the site of
such stands, from which otherwise
unemployed men and women-some-
times cripples-eked out livelihood.
In some cases, police pointed out,
the magazine stands provided "hur-
dies" for pedestrians and brought
protests.
Lately, according to Inspector L..
I. H. Edwards, there have been a
number of complaints, some of
them coming from the financial
district. In that area one COM
plant dealt with Fifteenth street
vendor who had erected q corner
stand of five fruit crates.
Inspector Edwards said the Dis
trict code specifically forbids the
sale Of magazines-and even news
papers-from make-shift stands
that overlap the right of way.
Inspector Edwards further ex-
planned that the chief objection
raised was that some "newsboys"
were taking advantage of the laxity
of police enforcement and had con-
structed stands of boxes and also
had made display boards" which
they hung on trees and lamp posts.
So far, Inspector Edwards said, the
police have merely issued warnings
to the sidewalk statesmen. But he
said arrests would follow if the warn
ings were disregarded.
1t was pointed out that vendors
who carry their wares are operating
within the law and will not, of
course, be molested.

Montgomery Probes
Wave Of Petty Thefts
By Stat. Correspondent Of The Star.

~ StaH Correspondent OF Inc Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, Nov. 9-An
epidemic of petty thefts and bur-
glaries resulting from the operations
of two youthful gangs" was being
investigated here today by Mont
gomery County police, according to
Chief Charles M. Orme.
Working with Judge John H.
Gassaway of the Juvenile Court,
Chief Orme questioned more than a
dozen boys today, all of them STU
dents of the Richard Montgomery
High School here, where a series of
thefts have been reported during the
past few weeks. Chief Orme said he
believed that most of the cases have
been cleared up and would be turned
over to Judge Gassaway in the next
few days for action by the Juvenile
Court.
High school officials last week re-
ported between IS and $40 had been
taken from pocketbooks in the girls
locker room while a basket ball game
was In progress. The cafeteria also
was broken into and several dollars
In change was stolen. They boys also
were questioned in regard to the
theft of a quantity of gasoline from
school buses and town trucks. Dur
Ing the investigation several store
burglaries not reported to police were
uncovered.
Chief Orme said an outbreak Of
vandalism in the lower part of the
county, where considerable damage
was caused by boys in the Bethesda
Chevy Chase Elementary School, had
been halted after several boys in the
neighborhood had been questioned.
Their parents were warned that they
would be held responsible for dam
age done by their children, he said.

Milk Situation
Here Is Studied bv
Trade Commission
One CompIoint Involves
Charge Of Rebote Offers
To Switch Accounts

AS the result of complaints, the
Federal Trade Commission has been
looking into some phases Of the local
milk situation, it became known to-
day.
One complaint involves a dairy,
which is accused of Offering rebates
to wholesale customers of other
dairies to transfer their accounts,
and to have improperly marked
hlgh-test Guernsey milk when the
butterfat content was below stand
ard
The other complaint was filed
against the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association, as the out
growth of the House milk investiga-
ton several months ago when it
was disclosed that the association
was selling milk at II cents a gallon
to Baltimore dairy for resale under
contract to Government cafeterias
and the District government. This
Is about 10 cents a gallon below the
regular producers price, but has
been defended as legal by B. B..
Derrick, secretary-manager of the
Maryland Virginia Association. The
same offer was made to all diaries
served by the organization.
Representatives of the commits
sion visited the headquarters of the
Maryland Virginia association about
month ago and were furnished
with data bearing on the Baltimore
sales, it was said. Investigators
also are said to have gone into the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and to
Staunton, Va, to interview milk
handlers.
The source of the charges has
been withheld, the commission fol-
lowing its custom of refusing COM
ment on pending cases until 1t

Former Representative B. T. Cas-
fellow has just returned from Africa
with fatal bullet, which he hopes
the G-men can trace to his big game
rife.
He submitted the battered slug for
ballistics tests yesterday because he
wants to know if he or his guide
broke the spine of a charging buffalo
an instant before it pinned them to
the ground in Kenya Colony, British
East Africa.
The bullet undoubtedly was life
saver. 1t brought the buffalo down
between and on top of the 63-year-
old Georgian and his guide, Mike
Cottar, "a, of Nairobi, Texas-born
veteran of the African bush. Both
men had fired simultaneously in the
well-known nick of time.
Mr.. CastelloW, widoWer, who re.
tired from Congress two years ago to
see the world and learn if he had the
makings of big-game hunter,
bagged three lions, as many leopards,
two tusker elephants, rhino' with q
23-lnch horn, hippo, several buf-
falo and many species of antelope
during three months in the Kenya
back country.
Wounded Buffalo Charges.
The buffalo which all but ended
Mr.. Castellow's sporting career had
been wounded and almost forgot
ten by the hunters because several
others broke through the bush. The
two men ran into little clearing to
get look at the herd. They were
frozen in their tracks by a mighty
snort-"like nothing else ever
heard" Mr.. Castellow said.
The wounded buffalo, perhaps the
most dangerous animal in all AZ
rlca. charged head down from short
range. He was upon the hunters
before either could get a gun all
the way to shoulder. The men fired
and went down together.
There were three witnesses" Mr..
Castellow said. THE chief of the
tribesmen we had for beaters and
our two gun bearers. The chief
was in a tree: Mixes gun bearer was
behind the tree and my boy saw
what went on while looking back
over his shoulder.
II had Mike ask my boy why he
finally came back with my extra
gun. He said he knew it was time
to run when he heard the buffalo
snort. He kept on going when he
saw men and the buffalo go down.
He didn't stop until he was sure
the men got up while the buffalo
stayed down."
Guide Suffers Internal Injury.
Mr.. Castellow said he asked Mike
If freight train hit us" and there
was no answer because the guide
was stunned. Mike suffered an in
ternal injury which panied him for
weeks, and Mr.. Castellow a twisted
knee.
The hunter told his story last night
to Zoo Director and Mrs. William M
Mann, whose collecting camp he had
visited in Sumatra in 1887 while
searching for tigers and other big
eame in the East Indies. Mr.. Gas.

Suicide Certificate
Issued by Coroner
In Mothers Deuth

Miss Agnes Krieger, 80, who fol-
lowed her mother in a plunge from
the window of their third-floor
apartment at 1900 Massachusetts,
avenue NV. yesterday, was given
chance to recover at Emergency
Hospital today.
The mother, Mrs Agnes Krieger,
81. wife of a Department of Agri-
culture artist, was killed instantly
by the leap and Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald issued a certi-
fcate OF suicide in her death.
Miss Krieger's condition this
morning was reported as somewhat
improved, but none too good" The
hospital said she had a slight chance
to survive her injuries, which in
clude possible fractures of the skull
and hip and fractures of the Jaw
and one wrist.
Both Worried Over Health.
Coroner Macdonald said that in
vestigation revealed that both moth
er and daughter had been worrying
recently about their health. A pen
clled list of friends was found in
the Krieger apartment, with the re-
quest that they be notified in case
anything should happen.
Louis c. Krieger, the husband and
father, was summoned to the hos
pltal yesterday afternoon from his
desk at the Agriculture Depart
ment's experimental farm and spent
the night at his daughters bedside.
Mrs. Krieger leaped from the
window about 2:l5 pm. and was fol-
lowed a few seconds later In the As
foot plunge by her daughter.
Physician Saw Plunge.
DR.. Charley j. Demas, a physi-
clan, was just leaving a building on
the corner of Thirteenth street and
Massachusetts avenue NV, when
he saw Mrs. Krieger's body hurtle
to earth. He was rushing to the
spot where the body lay when he
saw the younger woman plunging
toward the ground.
Miss Krieger landed on her moth
ers body, the doctor said, which un-
doubtedly saved her from instant
death. Mrs. Krieger was pronounced
dead on the scene and DR.. Demas
gave what aid he could to the
daughter until an Emergency Hos
pltal ambulance arrived.
The elder woman had been in i'll
health for many years, police were
informed, and the daughter, who
formerly was a nurse, had suffered
q breakdown some time ago.
Had Been in Hospital.
Mrs. Krieger had come home from
Emergency Hospital only a week
ago, after undergoing treatment.
The husband, former instructor
at the Maryland School of Fine
Arts, said Mrs. Krieger was great
granddaughter of William Pinkney
White, Attorney General of the
United States in the Monroe ad-
ministration and a member Of the
commission negotiating the settle
ment Of the War of 1872.
Miss Krieger had been a nurse
In Homer Folks State Hospital,
Oneonta, N. Y, and had left her
post to take care of her mother,
police were told.
The Krieger family had lived in
the apartment on the southwest
corner Of the intersection for about
eight years, an apartment employe

Whether He or Guide Fired Fotol Shot

fresh out Of Congress, and DR.. Mann
helped to get him started right, the
former Representative said.
In Africa. Mr.. Castellow shot a
leopard at the bait one night, and
the big cat leaped into the scrub.
The men waited until daylight and
followed a blood trail with caution
because the guide explained his
father had been mauled twice by
wounded leopards.
Mr.. Castellow was bending over a
crimson stain on the grass when a
drop of blood fell on his hand. He
thought he had cut his head, he
said, but could not find the source
of the blood until he looked skyward.
The big cat was directly above him
in a thorn tree, too weak, fortu-
nately, to spring.
Unusual Photographs.
Mr.. Castellow finished the cat and
his guide climbed q nearby tree to
take photographs They found a
sign that the wounded leopard mad
been driven into the tree by lions.
DR.. Mann, who had led a collecting
expedition into central Africa, called
the photographs some of the most
unusual he had ever seen.
The next time he shoots elephants,
Mr.. Castellow said, he will be backed
by a crippled gun bearer. or one he
can tether with rope. Both boys
took to their heels after the hunters
wounded a tusker and the beasts
broke through the scrub toward
them. The guides gun jammed and
Mr.. Castellow held his fire. The un-
practicable herd shifted and crashed
by the hunters at close range.
The two followed the elephants.
Mr.. Castellow said they came upon
the herd grouped about the wounded
member as if trying to support him
on his huge wobbling legs. They
couldn't get another shot until the
big beasts finally broke up the
huddle.
Mr.. Castellow already is planning
new hunting trips-to the Belgian
Congo, or the East Indies, If he can
persuade Mike to come along.
