New Trial in
Gas Ration Case
Ex-Court Clerks
Story Of Visit to
| Atlantic City Cited

Justice James M. Proctor of Dis
trict Court today granted a motion
for new trial for Joseph r. Burko,
former Police Court clerk and pres
ent operator Of the Lamplighters
Club. on charges of conspiracy to
acquire illegally gasoline ration
coupons coup and ofFeceiving stolen cou-
In granting the new trial, Justice
Proctor set aside Burkos conviction
by a District Court jury last October.
The motion for new trial had been
taken under advisement after being
argued in court on December 8.
In asking for a new trial, Burko
contended he was in Atlantic City
and New York on the day when Clif-
ford K. Gossman, 81, of Arlington,
Va, a principal Government wit
ness, claimed he transferred coupons
to Burko. Gossman was indicted
with Burko on the conspiracy count
alone and pleaded guilty to the
charge, but has not been sentenced.
Affidavits Are Cited.
Also cited in connection with the
motion for new trial were several
afldavits by present and former Jail
inmates that Gossman had conver-
sations with them regarding testi-
mony he would give at Burko's trial.
One of the afidavits quoted Goss-
man as saying that Burko had noth-
ing to do with the coupons, that he
would get even with Burko,' and
another one that Gossman had said
he himself was anxious to beat the
rap"
In granting the motion for the
new trial, Justice Proctor said:
THE evidence as to defendant
Burko's presence in Atlantic City
and New York and other evidence
of several inmates of the Jail as to
statements made by Gossman while
an inmate there bear directly on
the vital issues in the case and the
testimony thereon by Gossman as a
Government witness, and thus fall
clearly into the category of newly
discovered evidence. That which
concerns Brko's presence in At.
lantic City and New York is not
questioned by the district attorney.
Important in Nature.
Without myself determining the
truth of the other evidence, con-
sidering all that.is urged in support
of a new trial, it is undoubtedly Of
an important nature, and if true
might have materially affected the
ljury's verdict"
The motion for a new trial was
presented through Burkos attor-
rtneys, James r. Kirkland and Saul
G. Lichtenberg.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray announced he
, intends to bring Burko to trial
again as soon as possible.

Dealers Draw
Lots for Seized
PoliceLiquors
Citizens Just Look
On as $1,000 Worth
Goes at OPA Prices

Much as it hurt, police stuck to the
spirit and the letter of OPA regula-
tions today at the auction of $4,000
worth of seized and abandoned
liquors at the police warehouse, 400
block Of G street NV.
The liquors were seized in raids
on establishments dealing in un-
taxed and unlicensed liquors.
The sale at ceiling prices was a
shame, as far as the Districts reve-
nue. was concerned, because every
one of the IS liquor dealers present
showed, waved and shouted in an
attempt to get the wares. There is
no telling how much the merchan-
disc would have Brought had it not
been for the OPA regulations.
One would-be purchaser, gazing
rapturously at the liquor laden
tables. sighed: Look at 1t. IT
looks like a beautiful garden"
Sold in Five Lots.
Another dealer, objecting to the
cash-on-t -the-line policy, said "a
check is legally considered as cash
for "a hours"
mot to the Police Department
1t isn't" snapped one Of the officers
The liquor was sold in five lots
with prices ranging from $500 to
ST. 700, depending on the ceiling
price. Because all the dealers were
willing to pay the ceiling prices
drawings were necessary to deter
mine the buyers. The lucky ones
cheerfully counted of their 500
bills as they prepared to cart away
brands of scotch, wines, gins and
bourbons.
Although the sale was restricted
to liquor dealers, there were num-
ber of citizens present who attended
just to see so much liquor at one
time.
Bid for Medicine"
One man, in the back of the ware
house, insisted on placing his bids
along with bona fide dealers. Il
need it for medicinal purposes" he
kept insisting.
This reminded Auctioneer Zed
Williams of the last auction con-
Quoted before OPA regulations went
into effect. At that time, Mr.. Will
liams said, any one with the money
could buy the whisky, provided they
stated the reason for the purchase
"One fellow said his doctor had pre-
scribed a teaspoonful of whisky be-
fore each meal" Mr.. Williams said
$50 he ended up buying ~ gallons
of whisky" Mr.. Williams sighed.
Those were the good old days."

Justice Department
Attorney 10 Study
Liqht Rate Schedule

The Public Utilities Commission
yesterday granted Marvin Taylor
Justice Department attorney, go
days in which to study the new
schedule of electric rates submitted
by the Potomac Electric Power Co.
to effect a reduction of $1037, ,189,
ordered by the PUG July %.
The PUC's order to reduce rates
as of March l, 1914, has been up
held in District Court, but the case
will now 60 before the Court of
Appeals and the new rates have
been stayed.
Harold A. Brooks, vice president
and commercial manager of the
power company, said residential
rates under the schedule would be
reduced $203, ,997 in the District and
$10,413 in Maryland. The total
commercial and industrial reduction
would amount to $823, ,789, making
a. total reduction in rates of ST.
038, 8,199.
Scent Home Saving.
A typical household bill, it has
been estimated, would be reduced
cents a month on the basis of the
use of $50 kilowatt hours.
Mr.. Brooks said it was proposed
In the schedule to eliminate class
for commercial consumers. Arthur
j. Swanick, attorney for Treasur,
Procurement Division, said the clas
P consumers were the Government
Printing Once and the Navy Yarr
and that the Governments bill
would be increased $35 900 annually
by placing these two users In an
other class.
Mr.. Brooks said that the special
rates for of-peok demand were
eliminated In the new rates because
it Is no longer possible to determine
the peaks. He presented a chart
showing that peak use of electricity
is now reached in the summer
months rather than in the winter
because Of such factors as air con-
ditioning. He said the use of elec-
tricity for heating after the war
might change the picture.
Within Order.
The elimination of the off-peak
demand charge would adversely af-
feet 1876 out of $500 commercial con-
sumers In class E, it was said, and
that the former would have in
creased bills by $4,000.
When Alan Johnstone, general
counsel for the Federal Works
Agency, asked Mr.. Brooks if chang
ing the form of rate schedules was
within the commission order, Mr..
Brooks said that there was nothing
to prohibit it.
Under the new schedule, the nav
al powder factory at Indianhead
Md, would receive q reduction of
$51 ,078 and the Braddock Light g.
Power Co. $18,631.
The company was represented by
Attorneys S. r. Bowen and William
K. Laws. Lloyd r. Harrison, assist
ant corporation counsel, represented
the commission, and James Lauder
dale, peoples counsel, was present.
