measures.

and his brother" declared Mr..
Schultz.
One of the bills-recommended
by the Commissioners-would per-
NIT "stand-up' drinking at bars and
allow hotels, night clubs and res
taurants to sell liquor by the drink

ing their bars at II O'Clock mid

The other would abolish adver-
tising of liquor prices by "any medi-
um"-in newspapers, handbills and
even in the stores where liquor is
sold. In addition this measure aims
to prohibit eventually the sale of
liquor within 900 feet of public

Welfare Center
Plan
Is Sidetracked
Subcommittee Drops
Preliminary Item From
District Bill

The House subcommittee in charge
Of the 1912 District appropriation
bill, it was learned today. has side
tracked temporarily the plans of
municipal officials to develop a well
fare center in either Maryland or
Virginia to provide modern accom-
modations for inmates of four in
stitutions-the Home for the Aged
and Inf1rm, the National Training
School for Girls, the Industrial Home
School and the Industrial Home
School for colored children.
The 1912 budget estimates consid-
cred by the subcommittee called for
$4,000 to provide plans and to pur-
chase land for the proposed welfare
center. The completed project was
estimated to cost about $4,000, ,00O
In rejecting the $4,000 item, the
subcommittee, it was said, took the
position that building construction
costs and land prices are now too
high. and that a delay of a few
years in carrying out the project
would not seriously affect the in
mates of the four institutions and
at the same time would save local
taxpayers thousands of dollars.
1,000-Acre Site Projected.
Robert E. Bondy, former director
of public welfare, who envisioned
the proposed welfare center. indi-
Gated it would require a site of
900 acres, about 400 of which would
be occupied by buildings. Six hun
dred acres would be a farm to raise
food for inmates. The center would
have its own bakery, laundry, power
plant and hospital to serve inmates
of all four institutions.
The 1912 appropriation bill, said
to call for appropriations totaling
about s55 900, 900 to operate the Dis
trict government for the new fiscal
year beginning July 1.-The largest
sum in history-is scheduled to be
reported to the House tomorrow.
Indications are it will be passed and
sent to the Senate the same day.

DC. Motorists Urged to Drive
500 Miles Without Using Horn
Experiment Will Make Better Operators,
End Needless Noise, Cleveland Says

lights will be more carefully OBJ
served"
For "skeptics who insist that horn
blowing is an indispensable part of
driving" Mr. Cleveland cited ex-
perience with prohibition in
London as far back as 1884 and in
Sweden since 1887.
Demands "a Few Arrests"
The A. A. A. demanded "a few
arrests by police" in connection with
one particular offense:
when turning right or left on a
traffic signal, the pedestrian going
with the green light has the right
of way over the turning vehicle.
The driver has no right to blast pc
destrians out of his way by means
of his horn. A few arrests by police
would serve notice on the inconsid-
crate driver that his methods are
no longer going to be tolerated. an
official said.
The keystone Clubs statement
asserted that "only drivers who be-
come dangerously panicky in close
quarters resort to horns when they
should be using brakes. Only in
considerate operators use horns to
attract attention of friends and to
call persons from buildings.
Frantic horn-b blasting is gener-
ally the ear-mark of a frightened
driver in vehicular traffic and the
sign of bully when directed at
pedestrians" Manager Keneipp said.
footing when delayed by car
ahead often marks the little man
trying to act big. The mean snarl-
ing of the horn at everybody and
everything, INDUCED by so many
drivers, generally betokens type
of mind that ought to be pretty
thoroughly examined before its
owner should be allowed to venture
forth at the wheel of powerful
motor car"

; Lose Plea 10 Avoid
Trial in Theft Of
Civil Service Data
Motion to Quush Charge
Denied; Attack on
Indictments Fails

Justice James M. Proctor cleared
the way in District Court today for
early trial of Walter August Caesar
Camp. associate in a food concern
here; Werner Julius Orbach, identi-
fed as a leader in the concern, and
Miss Katherine Kay, War Depart
ment stenographer, under indict-
ment on charges of receiving and
concealing about $4,000 personnel
information sheets stolen from the
Civil Service Commission.
The jurist denied motions to
quash the indictment, filed by Miss
Kay, Mr.. Camp and Mr.. Orbach, and
overruled a demurrer challenging
legality of the indictment, filed by
Miss Kay.
The defendants claimed the
charges of the grand jury were un-
intelligible. uncertain and ambigu-
Gus and failed to identify the al
legged stolen records clearly.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray pointed out the
records are of so confidential a ma
ture they cannot be closely identi-
fled at this time-and perhaps not
at the trial. He said they include
records of F. B. I. agents and of
persons closely associated with ma
tional defense work.
Harlin William Crandall, sus-
pended Civil Service Commission
clerk, and Lawrence Lynford Haynes
were named along with Mr.. Camp,
Mr. Orbach and Miss Kay in one
indictment, charging them with
removing personnel information
sheets from the Civil Service Com
mission. Mr.. Murray said if found
guilty, each is liable to $4,000 fine
and three years in jail There are
seven counts in this indictment.
The other indictment charged
that Mr.. Camp, Mr.. Orbach and
Miss Kay, knowing the personnel
sheets had been stolen, received and
concealed them and had them in
their possession with intent to con-
vert them to their own use. and gain.
The maximum penalty under this
charge is $4,000 fine and five years
in Jail.
