battery "dopes." He declared that
wartime conditions, impelling all
car owners to take every precau
ton to keep their vehicles in oper-
alton for the longest possible per
iod of time, have fostered battery
doping" racket that is sweeping
the country. "These racketeers,
he said, "are preying on the car
owner and battery dealer, selling
them flour, sand, spsom salts, or
just any old white powder as the
panacea for all battery troubles"
The racket has assumed such
proportions in recent months,
Foote said, that the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce, Bureau OF
Standards and the National Better
Business Bureau of New York City
have issued bulletins in which the
evil is thoroughly exposed. In fur
ther cautioning car owners against
the use of battery "dopes" in any
form, he pointed out that most
battery manufacturers void the
guarantee on their batteries If
other than sulphuric acid is added.
"The battery industry is doing
everything possible to impress up
on car owners the urgent necessity
of having their batteries properly
cared for" Mr. Foote concluded.
But in the final analysis the re-
sponsibility rests with the indivi-
dual car owner. He can prevent
the inconvenience to himself and
the loss of his car as a unit of the
country's wartime transportation
facilities by doing three things.
First, make sure that his battery
is serviced only by reliable bat
terry service station. Second, have
his battery checked Immediately
and third, have it checked regular
ly.

Leash Law Raises Executions
At Pound to so to IS q Day

Between so and rs dogs-most Of
them evidently former pets-are
being killed at the District pound
daily now, Poundmaster Frank B.
Marks said yesterday.
This Is twice as many as were
killed each day before the recent
law that all dogs must be leashed,
he said.
During July, between 1900 and
$500 dogs we're killed, Mr.. Marks
said.
Dogs found on the streets are
held for 48 hours in the hope that
their owners will qall for them.
If they are not called for, or If
they are brought to the pound,
almost all of them must be killed
for since last summer no District.
resident may adopt dog from the
pound.
This nonadoption rule was made
at the request OF the Health Depart
ment in its effort to stamp out
rabies, Mr.. Marks said.
Many of these dogs are good,
clean dogs. Some of them evidently
were pets-until somebody decided
the food shortage or the new leash
law made it too hard to keep q dog !,
so they turned them out. Then
they have to be killed." Mr.. Marks
declared.

We pick up an, average Of seven a
day which we have to kill immedi-
ately because they have been badly
in jured in the streets"
Mr.. Marks said that besides those
injured, a number were picked up
dead by the Refuse Department.
Residents Of Virginia and Mary
land are not restricted by the nom
adoption rule, and may adopt pets
from the pound. They pay a mini
mum charge.
Mr.. Marks also said he was sure
recent reports that District residents
were dumping dogs In nearby
areas, were untrue. People here
know that we have the facilities to
take care OF unwanted dogs. It's
better for them to go to the pound
than to run loose through the
streets, miserable, and diseased" he
said.

Apartments Boost
Tin Can Salvage

Tin can salvage increased 600 per
cent in apartment houses during
July but decreased in private homes,
the District of Columbia Salvage
Committee reported yesterday.
Horace Walker, executive director
of the committee, said the great
increase in apartment house SAL
wage was due to publicity on the
previous failure of apartment resi-
dents to do their part. He said he
hoped a similar increase would be
made next month. Apartments con-
tributed more than $1,000 pounds
of tin cans in July as compared
to 5000 in June.
The decrease in private. home
salvage-from 10000 pounds in June
to 5000 pounds in July is due to
plenty of fresh vegetables, Mr.
Walker said. He hopes the home
salvage will increase in the fall.
Home owners place salvaged cans
beside the garbage can for collec-
ton. Apartment residents pile theirs
in the basement. The janitor noti-
fies the committee when the pile
is big enough for collection by vol
unteer trucks. The salvage COM

1t. Robert v. Murray of the
Metropolitan police said last night

against Raymond Connors, 81
year -old automobile salesman of
Yonkers, N. Y, in connection with
the trailer Staying of Edward Bar
ker and Pany Casbarian here on
February %.
I'VE are still investigating, but
We believe We have enough evi-
dence to secure San indictment and
we are going to present the case
to the grand jury" the police Of
ficer declared.
Inspector Robert J. Barrett, chief
of detectives, said if an indictment
is returned. the true bill also will
contain the name of a second per-
son suspected of participating in the
slayings.
1t. Murray said: There is at least
one more suspect in the case whose
identity is known to us, and there
may be a third"
Connors, who has been ques-
toned for the past few days in
Yonkers by 1t. Murray and other
District detectives, has consistent
emily denied any participation in
the murders, which occurred in
Mr.. Barkers trailer-office in his
used-car lot at Fourteenth and N
streets NV.
Connors, who has a criminal rec
ord dating back to 1927, police said,
will be arraigned in YonkerS to-
morrow morning on a Sullivan Law
charge, arising out of his alleged
illegal possession of a pistol He
was connected to the Staying by a
diamond ring, 1t. Murray said. The
ring, the officer declared, was similar
in size to a 3-carat ring which was
taken from Mr.. Barker. A wrist
watch and 81 900 in cash also were
stolen by the slayer.

The District detectives and Yonk-
ers police said they had been in
formed Connors had a Yonkers
jeweler, Elias Hoffman, remove the
diamond from the ring, and that
Connors then pawned the diamond
for $500 and later redeemed it. The
Yonkers police said Connors ad-
mitted having a diamond but de-
MED it belonged to the murder vic
tim. Connors at first denied pawn
ing the ring, but then said he did,
police said.
1t. Murray said the pawnbrOker
identified Connors because he had
lived with the suspect for two years
in a two-family house in Yonkers.
The police. 1t. Murray said, also
are looking for the wrist watch and
a wallet which they said contained
Mr.. Barker's money. Also being

Suicides Here Rose;
Is Pct. in Past Year.;
Traffic Deaths Drop

District suicides increased more
than Is per cent in the fiscal year
ended June 80, Coroner A. Ma
gruder Macdonald said yesterday In
his annual report to the Commis-
sioners.
Suicides increased from "a last
year to 118. The coroners ONCE
also handled one suicide case in
volving a Virginia resident. The
report showed a decrease, however,
in the number of homicides, traf1ic
deaths and miscellaneous violent
deaths.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, superin-
tendent of st. Elizabeth's Hospital,
said he was puzzled over the in
crease in suicides, which is con-
trary to the World War trend.
DR.. Macdonald also was unable
to explain the increase, but said
he was going to compile information
for a report in January. The in
crease was not noticeable among
any particular group, he said.
The percentage of deaths in the
District referred to the coroner's
ONCE dropped from 36 per cent
last year to 34.8 per cent this year.
Other figures submitted by DR..
Macdonald for this year included
10 homicides, IS traffic, deaths, 272
miscellaneous violent deaths, 2,305
natural deaths. II cases filed with
the District Attorneys once, 474
autopsies and 972 cremations were
approved. These figures do not in
clude deaths of residents of Mary
land or Virginia who died in the
District.
Last year there were II homicide
cases, los trafic cases and 296 mis-
cellaneous violent deaths. The total
number OF deaths In the District
this year was $3.50, compared with
8, 9,309 the year preceding.
