Charging False Pretenses

Convinced that it lacked sufficient
evidence to obtain a conviction, the
Government today nolle pressed an
indictment charging false pretenses
against Arthur Hayes growing out
of the alleged sale of bonds of the
Washington Institute Church of
Christ, Inc. Handling the case for
the Government was Assistant
United States Attorney Allen J.
Krouse.

told authorities she exchanged $40
900 worth of securities and $1,000
in cash for bonds of the institute
on March 80. 1886 According to
the indictment, Mr.. Hayes allegedly
told Miss Haughton that if she
bought the bonds she would re-
ceive. besides the cost of the bonds,
S. on each s100 bond, plus 6 per
cent interest.
The indictment declared that the
bonds of the Washington Institute
Church of Christ, Inc. were not of
any value, and that Miss Haughton

ern Industrial stock, valued at
$3.50. At the time of his arrest

Move 10 Abolish
Appropriations
Unit Grows
Forced Into Open in
House Debate on
Flood Control Bill
By the Associated Press.

81 the Associated PreSS.
Growing sentiment for abolition
Of the powerful House Appropria-
tions Committee appeared in con-
gressional circles today, forced into
the open during debate on the $685.
1854 appropriation for flood con-
troll and other military func-
tions of the War Department.
Representative Mott, Republican,
of Oregon, raised the question as a
result of the committees refusal to
approve a $50,000,000 increase for
flood control and river and harbor
Improvements.
Mr.. Mott denounced this action
rs an "abuse of authority" and said
sentiment was growing in the House
In favor of restoring the appropriate
ing power to the legislative COM
mittees. where it reposed prior to
adoption of the present budget sys-
tenn back in the 1920s.
Separate Bills for Funds.
Legislative committees dealing
with flood control military and
naval affairs. agriculture and other
subjects now authorize expenditures,
but the funds are not made avail
able until separate bills, handled
by the Appropriations Committee,
are approved.
Members are getting tired Rep
resentative Mott said, of having the
Appropriations Committee, in many
instances without hearings, reject
appropriations which have been au-
thorized by the legislative commit
tees after weeks of painstaking
study and expert testimony"
The House restored to the bill yes
terday the entire $50 1000 900 increase
which, proponents said, would be de-
Quoted from next years relief ap-
preparation and thus would not be
an additional burden on the tax
payers.
Although the House tentatively
approved the entire appropriation,
final action on the measure was
postponed until Monday.
Provisions of Measure.
The bill carried a total of S172.-
100000 for flood control, of which
$39 900, 900 was earmarked for the
lower Mississippi River and S96 ,OOO,-
600 for river and harbor improve
mentS. President Roosevelt recon-
n1ended STAT 100000 for flood control
and $7l 100000 for rivers and har-
bors, but he authorized Majority
Leader Rayburn to assure the House
he would allocate an additional $50
100000 for such projects from relief
funds.
This procedure was criticized on
the ground that restrictions on the
use of relief funds prevented their
use to fullest advantage on flood
control and river and harbor work.
Just as the vote on final passage
was to- be taken, Representative
Schafer, Republican, of Wisconsin
demanded that an engrossed CODY of
the bill be read. 1t would have
taken hours to prepare such a COPY
to the House adjourned without final
action. Representative Reyburn said
the vote would have to be deferred
until Monday because he had
promised many members who
planned to leave the city that no
bills would be voted on during the
rest of this week.

Juvenile Delinquency
Decline Is Noted in
Boys Club Report
Drop Of 79 Per Cent in
One Precinct Alone Is
Shown by Moi. Brown

How juvenile delinquency declines
as more and more Washington boys
join clubs instead of gangs was re-
vealed in the 1888 report of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club, ap-
proved yesterday by Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent of police.
Since Maj. Brown started the first
club in 1884 there has been a total
enrolment of 12,707 boys and drop
of 79 per cent in juvenile delin-
quency in one precinct alone, ac-
cording to James E. Colliflower,
president of the clubs
The fifth annual report of club
activities was prepared by Forrest
L. Binswanger, director of the clubs,
who succeeded 1t. John E. Scott re-
Gently on the police officers return
to active duty.
Now Has 3,422 Members.
The first club was opened on
Washington's birthday, 1884, in the
basement of No. S precinct, Fifth
and E streets Sc, and now has a
membership of 1922 boys.
In April of the same year the
d, second club was opened in Kenil-
worth Recreation Center, Kenil-
worth and Ord streets NE, and
that club now has 356 members.
About year later the third club
was organized at 472 I street S.W
in building donated by the Myra
Mccoy Andrews Day Nursery. 1t
now has 2,019 members.
The fourth club, and the one with
the largest membership, 6,126, was
formed in April of 1887 for colored
boys in the former Knights of
Pythias Building, Twelfth and U
streets NV.
1884 in Club No. 5.
Club No. 5, with a present men,
bership of 784 boys, was launched
in the gymnasium of All Souls Uni
tartan Church at Fifteenth and
Harvard streets NV. in November
OF 1887.
Aside from the manifold club ac-
tivities OF games, sports, reading
and instruction in various fields, the
club operates one of the finest sum-
mer camps for boys east of the Mis-
sissippi River on ITS acres of land
near Scotland, Md, on the banks of
the Potomac River.
The club is financed through
contributions from interested citi-
zens, who last year gave us nearly
$4,000 for operation and eXpan-
sion," Mr.. Colliflower said. Our
campaign this year, with a goal of
$4,000, will be held from February
q to March 16."

Be Kind! Humane Society Asks For Tender Treat 'nent of Baby Chicks, Rab-
 bits.

As the Easter season draws near, we wish again to call the atten- ton of adults to the practice of giving baby chicks and rabbits to children as Easter gifts.
 In many cases the young child :: not prepared for such pres ent and as . result the animals suffer. Children, and very often parents, have no idea what to feed the new rabbits or baby chicks. nor have they any facilities for raising them properly. Too often they are indifferent. Many times when the newness of the pet chicks or bunny has worn oil, they are sadly neglected and i'll cared for.
 AS people persist in buying chicks and rabbits at Easter time another cruel practice arises. Countless thousands of these lit- tie things are shipped from long distances to stores for the Easter gift trade, under extremely ad- verse conditions. They are crowd- ed into small quarters in unnat- ural surroundings, often with Mt- tie food or water, and stoo fre- quently left over Sunday without care or attention. They are ham, dled carelessly by prospective cus- toners, and thousands die by be- ing picked up by children who are too young to realize that rabbits and chicks may be painfully inc jured or killed by rough handling or even by too much betting. Un- fortunately, the children treat them as they would toys, not un- derstanding that they are living creatures and capable of suffer- ing.
 Some dealers cooperate by not selling chicks in less than half dozen lots, while many parents are impressing the children of the cruelty involved in having such tiny creatures as pets by refusing to buy or allowing their children to buy chicks or rabbits at Easter time.
 Won't you all help to make this Easter one of kindness for our dumb friends by not giving them as pets2

NO EXTENSION
 IN TRIAL TIME
Judge Inglis FavOrs Four Days = May M a ke
 Occasional Exception

Despite the numerous delays which have been experienced of late in the Waterbury conspiracy trial, 1t was reasoned in authentic quarters today that Judge Ernest A. Inglis would not agree to any schedule re- quiring court sessions in excess of four days a week.
 In previous commentaries, Judge Inglis has expressed his belief that a four-day week is all that can be endured by the principals in the case, including jurors, defendants, lawyers and officials. The strain of the trial-even in four days a week has been pronounced, and the be- lief that any more than a four-day week would have an adverse effect has been expressed.
 There is probability, of course, that in order to make up for days lost, such as yesterday when Charles ] E. Williamson's grand jury testimony was reviewed, Judge Inglis might agree to one extra day on occa- sions. But any five-day or six-day schedule for trial of the conspiracy case is believed to be beyond con- sideration.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Al- corn and several of the defendants have expressed the opinion that it would be better to hold court six days week and get the trial con- cluded in rapid form.
