Virginia Legislature
Studies Carney Case
BY the Associated Press,

i
RICHMOND, Va, May 14.-Mem-
bers of the Virginia General As
sembly gathered here for a special
session today to act on a resolution
asking removal of Judge Alonzo B.
Carney, ST, of the Norfolk County
Circuit Court, on charges of mis-
feasance, nonfeasance and mall
feasance in office.
The Assembly adopted the reso-
luton March 26, providing that the
House and Senate should resolve
themselves into a committee of the
whole for the purpose of hearing
argument of counsel for Judge
Carney and from the joint subcom-
mittee of the Assembly which
handled the investigation. The pro-
cedure then would be for the House
and Senate to return to their sep
arate chambers to act independently
on resolutions for removal. A ma
jority vote of both houses is required
for removal.
Judge Carney has filed a formal
protest against the resolution pro-
cedure, contending that if the As
sembly proceeds against him at all
it should be by impeachment rather
than joint resolution.
1t was not known today whether
Judge Carney would appear per-
sonally. The charges against him
followed two legislative investiga-
tiOnS of moral and law enforceroenf
conditions in Norfolk County.

War Worker Helps
Police Rescue Bows
From Rock in Potomac

Two boys were rescued during
the night from rock in the Poto-
mac River where they had been
marooned four hours by the incom-
ing tide.
The boys, who had been fishing
from the rock above Chain Bridge
were Robert Bell, IL, of 609 Sixth
street S.W., and Albert Dent, IA, of
80l G street S.W., police said.
An unidentified man heard their
calls for help about 10:30 pm. Har-
Dor police were notified, but an un-
usually swift current kept the po-
lice boat away from the rock.
Meanwhile, Policemen Andy Schei-
BILE and Pat Smith of the 7th pre-
cinct arrived on the scene.
Bernard o. Browne, 38, an en-
ploye of the Alexandria Torpedo
Plant, who was in the vicinity, sug-
gested that he swim out to rescue
the boys. The policemen tied one
end of a 75-foot rope to Mr.. Brown
and held the other end as the war
worker swan to the rock. Mr..
Browne then tied the rope around
one of the boys, who was hauled
to safety. The rope then was tossed
back to Mr.. Browne and the second
boy was rescued Mr.. Browne then
was hauled to shore.
The boys told police the water was
only 6 inches deep when they went
to the rock, but at 1890, when they
first called for help, it had become
too deep for them to make shore
They were on the rock until about
l am.
Not knowing when they would be
taken of, the boys said they threw
back into the river a large catch
of fish.

a great deal of free work for the
District as they did for all depart
ments of the Government, but that
as soon as this item Cthe appropria-
ton for the District laboratory was
eliminated from the bill you in
structed them you wanted to be
changed for everything. In other
words, you proposed to increase the
cost of testing as much as possible
in an effort to demonstrate that ii
cost more to do it at the Bureau OF
Standards than it did at your own
plant.
Capt. Whitehurst-Mr. Chairman
We never told DR.. Briggs that. CDR
Lyman J. Briggs is director of the
Bureau of Standards.)
Mr.. Cannon-I consider DR.. Briggs
very eminent man.
Capt. Whitehurst-So do I.
Mr.. Cannon He told me
that you instructed him you wanted
to be charged for everything; that
you wanted no more free work.
There can be but one interpreta-
CiOIi VI SUCH lIlStTuCClOIlS.
Referred to Old Law.
Capt. Whitehurst-No, sir. didn t
tell DIR. Briggs that, and Mr.. Glenn
mer Oh. F. Clemmer, engineer in
the Highway Department. was with
me when I went out there. DR..
Briggs questioned us very particu-
larly if this money was from the
gasoline tax He spoke of charging
for it. We went back and pulled
out the old law that prohibited us
from having tests made of paving
materials at the Bureau of Stand
ards. That law is still in existence.
They prepared this schedule of
prices themselves. In fact we have
letters in our files from DR.. Briggs
before this matter came up advising
us that they could not make fur
ther tests of cement for the Dis
trict of Columbia without charging
for it; that they didn't have the
funds.
Mr.. Cannon repeated the charge,
saying: They had no desire to
take over this work. But he told
me that you said you wanted to be
billed for everything; that you
didn't want any more free work.
Then we have a letter here saying
that the volume of work done was
approximately twice the amount
previously estimated by District au-
thorities."
Capt. Whitehurst replied that the
volume of work was considerably
less than we had done the year be-
fore or the year before that"
The cost of the highway tests
at the Bureau of Standards during
fiscal 1885 was s26,875, slightly less
than in the preceding year, but still
SIS, 1852 more than in 1893.
