Education Board Uni
To Look Further Into
Recreation Plan
Discussion Of Proposed
Bill To Be Continued
At Monday Meeting

The Law and Legislation Com
mittee of the Board of Education
will meet at II am. Monday to con-
tinue discussion of a bill for rec
reation board in Washington. it was
decided yesterday after a meeting
adjourned without action.
Because of the anxiety of severa,
board members, including Chairman
Charles D. Drayton of the commit
tee, to hear both sides of the pro-
posal, several speakers are expected
to appear before the committee
Among them may be Henry I. Quinn
former member of the school boarC
and a strong opponent of recrea
ton board; Thomas Settle, secretar.
of the National Capital Park ant
Planning Commission, co-author o
the proposed bill, and Weaver w
Pangborn of the National Recrea'
ton Association.
Mr.. Drayton placed before yes
terday's meeting a revised bill fol
consideration, but several clause:
proved to be controversial and actor
was deferred at the request OF Mr.
Drayton, who said he wanted more
time to study the situation. Supt
Frank w. Ballou objected that the
bill in some instances was ambigu-
Gus and not sufficiently detailed
while Mr.. Settle, attending the ses-
sion, urged against inclusion of toe
much detail.
Proposes Nine Member Board.
The proposed bill would set up q
recreation board of nine members
representative of the school board
of the commissioners, of the Ma
tional Capital Parks, Of the Park
and Planning Commission and five
citizens to be named by the Com
missioners. The group would govern
through q superintendent Of recrea-
ton, the facilities and program oi
the city, except that present con-
tracts for operation of certain goll
courses and swimming pools would
not be affected.
Mr.. Drayton's revised propose,
called for six citizens and excluded
the Parks Office. DR.. Ballou in
sisted he was vitality interested that
the board be lay board and that ii
should not be appointed by the
Commissioners. He suggested that
major civic organizations such as
the Federation of Citizens AsSocia-
tions, the Federation of Civic ASso-
Citations, the Board of Trade, the
District Congress Of Parents and
Teachers and the colored Parent
Teacher organization be designated
to name citizens.
Sharpe Comments.
Debate over preservation of school
board jurisdiction entirely over the
program prompted Board Member
C. Melvin Sharpe to observe: eve
are rapidly getting back to States
rights"
DR.. Ballou told the group that
with the machinery of the school
system he could provide a better
recreation system for less money
than the bill proposed.
The superintendent said the ad-
ministration of former Co-ordinator
Lewis r. Barrett, in certain aspects,
had been "slip-shod" but Mr.. Settle
said he thought Mr.. Barrett, CO.
author of the bill, had done a fine
job.

House Votes
To Void Kings
Power in D. G..

For the second time the House
yesterday passed bill to remove
from the District Code an old Brit
ish statute antedating the Revolu-
tionary War which gave the King
the power of review in legal cases.
Originally passed by the House in
the last Congress, the measure died
in the Senate as a result of mac
ton.
The House Committee on Re-
vision of Laws, which recommended
repeal of the statute, said it had
been included in the Code of Laws
of the District by virtue of an act
of Congress of March 3, 1901.

Warning Is Denied
Freedom on Writ
Of Habeas Corpus
Justice Let's Rules
intermediate Sentence
Law Was Not Violated

Emmitt r. Warning, erstwhile
numbers kingpin here, went back to
the Lorton (Va0 Reformatory today
after a brief appearance in Wash
ington during which District Court
Justice F. Dickinson Let's refused
to grant him writ of habeas corpus.
Warnings unsuccessful fight for
freedom was predicated on the con-
tention that when District Court
Justice Bolitha j. Laws on February
"a, 1899, sentenced him to 26 months
in jail under a contempt citation
charging jury tampering, the in
determinate sentence law was vio-
lated.
Justice Let's today, however, after
listening to oral arguments of op-
posing counsel, decided there was
no legal merit in that contention.
Attorney Myron G. Ehrlich argued
for the petitioner that the one year
and one month sentences in the two
contempt cases failed to comply with
Section 453 of Title vi of the District
Code, as amended, and was in viola
ton of the Act of July Is, 1882, these
statutes bearing on the requirement
of maximum and minimum SEN
tences.
Mr.. Ehrlich insisted that War;
rings detention is illegal and un-
constitutional" and that it contra
venes his rights.
Assistant United States Attorney
John w. Fihelly told Justice Let's
that Justice Laws was fully advised
of the law when he passed the con-
tempt sentences and that the jurist
was on sure ground. Mr.. Fihelly
declared that inasmuch as there is
no maximum for contempt, the
straight sentence that Justice Laws
passed upon Warning was correct.
Two blue-uniformed guards from
Lorton brought Warning to District
Court around 9 am, and he imme-
diately was placed in a cellblock
prior to the arrival of other prison.
ers. Warning is serving three to
nine months on charges of income
tax evasion and 26 months on the
july lduPCihiS dCSoodeAoai, anu oo
he has about five more months to
serve.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough on
Friday authorized the habeas corpus
proceeding, and the writ was made
returnable this morning.
Defense Attorney Ehrlich, in TAX
ing an exception to Justice Let's
ruling, indicated he will carry his
fight for Warnings freedom to the

U. 5. Attorney May Gel
Results Of Dog Tag
Shortage Probe
'FinoF Report Session
On Evidence Will
Resume Tomorrow

District investigators may turn
over to the United States attorney
"for whatever use he sees fit" the
results of the protracted inquiry
which has been made into shortages
reported in the Districts dog tag
accounts.
A final report on the investiga-
ton was to have been made today
by Capt. Earl Hartman of the police
special investigation squad and Dis
trict Tax Collector Guy w. Pearson.
In preparation for this, these OFF,
eials had placed before the Commis-
sioners a huge stack of documents,
consisting Of photostat reproduc-
tions of thousands Of dog tag cou-
pons and other District records.
However, Engineer Commissioner
David McCoach had to go to the
Capitol this morning and the meet
ing broke up shortly after it started.
The session was to be resumed at
1890 am. tomorrow. Capt. Hart
man took with him one or two OF
the large sheets of the records.
All through the long investigation
Capt. Hartman and other inveSti-
eating officials have refused to say
whether they had found any evi-
dence which would warrant an ar
rest or which would fix response
bility for the $4,000 or more short
ages, or whether they had found
who was responsible for the deStruc-
ton of missing records for several
of the past years, destruction of
which had not been authorized by
the city heads.
1t has been uAofficially estimated
that if shortages occurred in these
years, somewhat on the same basis
as they were found to have occurred
In years for which records were
available, the total shortages may
be nearer $4,000 than $4,000.
One Commissioner said after to-
days meeting that if Corporation
Counsel Richmond Keech Should
find the investigation results war
rant the action, the evidence" may
be turned over to the United States
attorney. This Commissioner said
the final report of the investigators
had not yet been filed with the
Commissioners and had not.yet been
referred to Mr.. Keech.

Burbridge made Sd flights over

He was at Port Albert, as were

That's one of the reasons for
sending these pilots here-the
other is that they are the best

know about flying.
Burbridge was married Just two

since.
He wants 10 go back 10 Eng
