Homing Pigeon Protest Saves
District From Circus Ban

One may wonder what homing
pigeon has to do with saving the
circus from being "outlawed" from
the District, but the two subjects
are linked in a chain Of events at
the District Building.
To begin at the beginning, the
Commissioners recently adopted q
series Of new regulations governing
the keeping of pigeons, bees and
captured wild animals" and like
wise made it unlawful for q dog
owner to allow his pet to trespass
upon a neighbor's lawn without the
latter's consent.
Representative Holmes, Republi-
can, of Massachusetts,, being inter-
ested In homing pigeons, noted the
new regulations and protested to
the Commissioners they were too
strict. The problem was referred
to Corporation Counsel Elwood II.
Seal. After study District efncials

nounced yesterday they would re-
wise the rules.

pital, church or school Is to be
rescinded, and the consent of house.
holders within 100 feet instead Of
$50 feet will be required for the
keeping Of the birds.
This study raised the question Of
whether other new rules were too
strict. About this time circus fans
appealed to Assistant Corporation
Counsel EDWARD w. Thomas about
the new rule that a SO fee must
be paid for each captured wild
animal" placed on display. They
said a circus would be practically
broke" by having to pay such q
fee for each Of its specimens.
As . result ofncials said this rule
would be amended to strike out the
$40. fee.

Police Supt. Ernest w. Brown
today announced that he has issued
strict orders to all officers to make
arrests only when there is clear
justification"
Orders have been issued to offi-
GERS to exercise the greatest Of
care in making arrests and to make
certain there is clear Justification
for prisoners detention" the po-
lice head said.
"The commanding officers Of pre-
clncts and departments also have
been instructed to inquire very
carefully into arrests to make GER
tain the evidence warrants filing
Of charge" I
The Court of Appeals and the
District Bar Association recently
raped the Police Department for
holding prisoners for "investiga-
ton for long periods without bring
ing formal charges against them. The
bar group also criticized the drag
net" arrest system. whereby all per-
sons in a given area are taken into
custody at the same time. Mai.
Brown has denied that there have
been wholesale" investigation ar
rests.
Suit Filed.
Meanwhile a suit was filed In
Municipal Court yesterday against
Third Precinct Capt. Arthur E.
Miller growing out of an alleged
violation of the Districts six-hour-
writ law.
The law requires police to file
charges, if there be any, against q
prisoner within six hours after his
demand to knoweWhat charge he is
being held under.
The plaintiff, Arthur L. Sellers.
"a, of Hatboro, Pa, asks the court
to award him judgment for $500
against Capt. Miller. The District
Code provides this amount shall be
forfeited by the officer violating the
statute to the person held.
Mr.. Sellers told the court through
his attorney. Albert Shield, that a
six-hour writ was served on the de-
fendant on February %. but that q
charge was not placed against hin1(
until March l. The plaintiff said
he was first locked up at the third
precinct on February %.
Informed of the suit against him,
Capt. Miller said there was a charge
Of illegal entry against Mr.. Sellers
during the entire period he was
locked up. ~
Miller Defends Course.
The si'.-hour writ the suit al
leges. was served on Capt Miller by
Mr.. Shield. who assertedly was told
1t was the officers own ~private
business" why Sellers was being held.
Commenting on this allegation in
the suit, Capt. Miller said he did
not inform Mr.. Shield of the charge
against the prisoner because the
latter had said Mr. Shield did not
represent him as legal counsel Capt.
Miller said the prisoner knew "ex-
actly" what he was charged witR-
the entire time. ,
Mr. Shield served four writs on
him. Capt. Miller said, none OF
which he answered.
The suit is believed to be the
first one involving the six-hour writ
law, which is section 205, title "a, in
the District code and is as follows:
ANY person committed or de-
tanned, or any person in his behalf.
may demand a true copy of the
warrant of commitment or detainer
and any officer or other person
OBTAINING him. who shall refuse or
neglect to deliver to him a true
copy of the warrant of commitment
or detainer, if any there be. within
six hours after the demand, shall
forfeit to the party so detained the
sum of $500"

GA Scout is Friendly-he is a friend
to all and a. brother to every other
Scout" i.
Acting in this spirit the leaders
of the National and Local Councils
of the Boy Scouts of America have
urged all local Troops, Sea Scout
Ships, Explorer Troops and Rover
Crews to invite as their guests, last
night other Scouts with whom they
are not already acquainted, MAX
ing a special point of honoring
those with whom they might not
ordinarily meet daily. In this way
boys and young men with varying
backgrounds, interests. and out
looks will come to know each other
better through the medium of their
Scout relationship and plant seeds
of human understanding emphasiz-
ing the great and important note
of human brotherhood.
The inspiration for Scout Broth
erhood Day, observed yesterday,
arises from the Scout custom Of
conducting a World Jamboree every
four years, so that Scouts from the
73 different national or territorial
Scout associations affiliated with
the International Bureau Of the
Boy Scouts may meet each other
In camp for period of two weeks.
develop friendships and better un-
derstanding. Five of these great
world gatherings, attended by an
average of $4,000 Scouts, have al
ready been held, two in England
and one each in Denmark, Hun
gary and Holland respectively.
There is ample evidence that the
fraternal feeling generated in these
gatherings have endured and borne
important fruit.
Similar to such world meeting
was the National Jamboree held
by the American Scouts in Wash
ington, D. G. in 1897 and attended
by 27,232 Scouts and Scouters lad
