BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 15.-Rollie
Hemsley, Cleveland Indian catcher
was suspended today. Manager Os-
car Witt said his star receiver had
broken training again.
Accusing him of running the
sleep" of a carload of Tribesmen en-
route from Richmond, Va, to New
York last night, Witt ordered HENS
ley to 60 to Cleveland and report
to Vice President C. C. Slapnicka.
The catcher's contract includes a
$4,000 good conduct" bonus.
Asked how he learned of HENS
ley's behavior, Witt exploded:
How did I learn? Why the guy
was right in my berth from mid
night to 4 o'clock this morning. Half
the time he was abusive and half
the time he was crying.
II tried to straighten him out
without awakening every one on the
car. First I tried persuasion. Then
I got tough. But nothing made any
difference. Oh! What a night
Rollie was kicking cuspidors from
one end of the car to the other
Then he started lighting matches
and throwing them into the unoccu-
pied upper berths. I didn't close my
eyes all night"
The catcher, who was suspended
for similar cause twice last year,
may rejoin the team Monday and
make the trip to st. Louis for Tues
days opening against the Browns,
Witt said.

NEW YORK, April Is Two

and Johnny Humphries, did pretty
good job of spelling the New York
Giants homecoming exhibition to-
day by allowing only five hits while
the Tribe won, 5 to 3.
Zeke Bonura, new Giant first
baseman, performed as advertised
when he belted a home run with
one on base in the fourth. Mel OFT
found the range of the stands for a
ninth-inning homer to complete the
Giants scoring. Rookie Manuel
Salvo was tagged for all seven
Cleveland hits, including homer by
Earl Averill, in the seven innings he
worked.

until the completion of an 10000
word thesis by an Alexandria (Va.)
High School teacher this month, no
really comprehensive survey OF the
model community ever had been
made by an outside observer.

ration and study, Cedric Larson,
graduate of Stanford University in

The survey offers a complete
analysis, literally illustrated, of the
history and development of the

emphasis on the educational fea-
lures. Mr.. Larson later plans to
include the Greenbelt study in a

Survivors Recovering.
Meanwhile, the sole survivors Of
the tragedy, the mother and her
2-year-old baby, were reported re-
covering at the home Of Mrs. Hans
borough's parents at Nokesville, Va.
Mrs. Hansborough, acting on in
structions from her husband, ran
from her burning home with the
baby while Mr.. Hansborough dashed
upstairs to rescue the sleeping
children.
The roof caved in shortly after
Mrs. Hansborough ran out of the
house and before her husband
could get down the stairs with any
of the other children-Harriet, IL;
Edward, 10; Sam, g; Minnie, Z;
Beulah, 6; Lena, 5, and Effie, 4.
The bodies were almost wholly
consumed in the flaming ruins of
the frame two-story house. The
fire spread with such suddenness
that neighbors could be of no as
sistance. One neighbor drove 7
miles to Manassas to summon the
fire department because no tele-
phones were available in the
vicinity.
No Decision on Inquest.
County authorities had not de-
cided today if an inquest would
be necessary. The origin of the fire
was undetermined. The house, it
was said, was heated by wood
stoves. 1t was only 2 years old and
part of it was still under construc-
ton.
Mr.. Hansborough, 49, was a yard
