SAFE and $500
STOLEN IN CAR

A sedan car, an unknown num-
ber of strong men and a safe con-
tanning nearly $500 in cash and
checks were being sought by
Washington police today.
The reason is that the safe
doesn't belong to the strong men.
They stole it-all 500 pounds of it
from the service department of
the Trew Motor Company today,
and then made their getaway in
an automobile they stole from the
premises.
The thieves entered the estab.
liShment, located in the 2100
block of Fourteenth st. N. w., by
unlatching a rear window, police
said. The thugs then loaded the
heavy safe in a car belonging to
Senes B. Passmore, of the 400
block If Illinois Ave. N. W., and
managed to escape even though
the vehicle was in the shop for
repairs.
Officials of the motor firm said
cash in the safe totaled $568.25,

TRAFFIC DEATHS
BRING INQUESTS

Inquests into the first two Dis
trict traffic deaths of 1899 are
to be held in the near future by
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald,
he announced today. The victims,
both elderly men, died yesterday.
The first to die was Frank
Sweeney, who succumbed in Gal
linger Hospital from head injuries
suffered when he walked into the
side of a street car at Seventh
and K Streets Northwest Tuesday.
Sweeney, who was 65, was
picked up unconscious in front Of
the Public Library and originally
taken to Emergency Hospital on
the theory he was suffering from
alcoholic poisoning. When his
true condition was discovered he
was taken to Gallinger.
The other victim was George A.
Watt, II, of the 600 block of
Maryland Ave. S. w., fatally hurt
when the car he was driving was
in a collision with a street car at
Fourteenth and Upshur Streets
Northwest. His wife, Mrs. Watt,
is being treated for serious in
juries, and friend, Mrs. Edna
Haverstraw, 38, of the 1700 block
Of Upshur st. N. w., was slightly
injured.
All three were on their way to
Baltimore at the time. All were
taken to Emergency Hospital,
where Mr.. Watt died late yester-
day. He was a retired National
Park Service employe.

LEWIS APPLIES
BALM TO RELIEF
PULL CHARGES
Finds 1t Could Be Worse
---And Is---EISeWhere

Reversing a stand he adopted
yesterday, Burdette G. Lewis, re-
lief investigator, asserted today he
has found evidence that political
pull" led to relief chiseling here.
In the same breath, Lewis de-
scribed as "a good authority on
the question" Elwood Street, di-
rector of the Board of Public Wei
fare.
Demands by Street for Specific
proof" that political pull" and
pressure groups" are factors in
relief administration brough t
from Lewis these assertions. The
investigator said:
1--WE have found occasional
Instances involving what might
be termed political pull but we
also found such pull was rela-
lively less here than in other
cities where we investigated re-
lief.
"NOT IN THE RECORDS"
According to newspaper &C.
counts, however, Elwood Street
must be a good authority on the
question. Street has been
quoted as disclosing instances Of
political pull which we couldn't
find in the records. I don't know
where he keeps his files"
Lewis was referring to a state
ment by the welfare director that
requests have been received from
Senators and Representatives rela-
tive to relief cases.
whenever we investigate a
casa in which Congressman is
interested" Street was quoted as
stating, I'VE report the findings
to him and never as far as I know
has there been any kickback from
the Congressman"
Among cities where political
pulp was more evident in relief
chiseling, Lewis said, are Pitts
burgh, Detroit, Denver, st. Louis,
Minneapolis and Louisville as well
as certain cities in Connecticut"
PRESSURE NECESSARY
Lewis reiterated his emphasis
that pressure groups" play an i'm
portant part in procedure leading
to relief chiseling. He described
such groups as necessary to Sc
cure any type of concerted action"
and added that Washington, as the
Nations Capital, could naturally
be expected to have its share. But
at the same time, he asserted, "preS-
sure groups have a tendency to
everyday their hand"
Again Lewis refused to identify
the channels through which "po-
ltical pull" has been exercised
here. For identity Of the pressure
groups, Lewis referred to conclud-
ing sections Of his report which
will be published shortly.

Wife FED Up With Goebbel'
affairs, Says Her BeAuticiA1
.efug gee Predicts
Divorce Soon
AS Allowed
BY JANE COCHRAN

NEW YORK, Jan. S G.N.S0.
The prediction that Magda Goeb-
bels will seek divorce from Nazi
Germany's minister of propa-
ganda was made today by the for
mer beautician of the beautiful
Frau Goebbels.
Miss Edith Buergel, Jewish
beauty expert whose talented fin
gers aided in Softening the facial
contours of her highly-placed
patron, fatty declared her belief
that the wife of DR.. Paul Joseph
Goebbels was thoroughly disillu-
stoned and fed up with her hus-
bands love affairs:
She added:
II think Frau GoebbelS will
get a divorce as soon as she is
allowed to do so."
HE LIKES ACTRESSES
The Goebbels' marital troubles
are no longer news to people with
a knowledge of German affairs,
Miss Buergel added, citing the
breach in their relations over a
year ago that was supposedly
healed by Hitler's Intervention,
and the Widespread gossip about
GoebbelS' interest in German
actresses.
II am sure it Is consideration Of
the four children that has kept
Frau Goebbels from attempting
to secure divorce long ago." Miss
Buergel said. "She wouldn't be in
clined to overlook her husbands
wandering affections"

fairs was not the condition during

BOARD GRANTS
ROSS|TER CAFE
LIQUOR PERMIT
Schools Opposition
Beaten at Hearing

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board authorized Leo j. RoSsiter
today to sell liquor in his restau-
rant in the 4100 block of Georgia
Ave. N. w.
Board members Isaac Cans and
Mrs. Agnes K. Mason concurred
in approving the RosSiter applica-
ton. Board chairman George w.
Offutt dissented.
The Rossiter license, sought by
Attorney George Horning, jr., was
approved in the face of formal
protest by the Board of Education.
A hearing on the application drew
opposition from other educational
groups and from organized neigh
borhood and church interests.
Support came from individual
residents and property owners Of
the area, and patrons of the Ros-
sitter establishment.
MRS. MAsONS VIEW
In indorsing the application,
Mrs. Mason said she could not
see how RosSiter's liquor sales
would be detrimental to children
who passed the restaurant on
their way to school.
The several churches which
protested, she said, are "many
blocks removed" and "in no wise
could be affected"
AS to property owners and resi-
dents, she said, "it is now clear
from the testimony that there are
429 in favor and "a against"
Mr.. Cans said that to deny
RoSsiter's license would work a
distinct hardship upon him with
not particular benefit to the COM
munity. He added:
II seriously doubt that any
child was ever harmed by pass
ing a restaurant where liquor
is served, and this Is particularly
true Of a place as carefully con-
Quoted as this one"
FEARS FOR STUDENTS
Chairman Offutt based his dis
sent on testimony that the license
might affect some 5000 students
attending the Mcfarland Junior
High, Roosevelt High, the Health
School, the Petworth School and
the Public Library. He said:
II feel I am obliged to accept
as being true the statements of
those who are Immediately in
charge of these large educa-
tional Establishments and I feel,
therefore, that in view of all the
circumstances in this case, the
place for which the license is
sought to be issued is not an ap-
propriate one, considering the
surroundings"

Washington he wrote five years ago:
Il have finished quite a lot of new
plates which I have printed in
very limited editions of from 4 to 10
prints. In that way I have the Joy
OF creation without the real work Of
printing. - So long as can work
little for the pure joy of it, Mrs. B.
and I are happy-in fact, we have
had so years of an Alice in Wonder
land journey through life. The
world has been so kind; I've done
just what enjoyed doing and never
a worry, as the world always gives us
more money than we need"
Some of this joy and unworldli-
ness found its way into his etchings
and, combining with art of very
high order of merit, gave it a place
which might we'll be coveted among
the best. Fortunately, a collection
OF 274 of his prints was given a few
years ago to the New York Public
Library by an anonymous donor and
may be seen there in the print di-
vision by those who so desire. A
catalogue of 314 prints, with an ap-
probation by Arthur Miller of Cali
fornia, etcher and critic, and certain
illustrations was published in 1880
