z Who Aided Police
May Sharein Reward
For Grocer's Slayer

Two colored youths who helped
police find the slayer of Nathan
Rosenberg, 51-year-old Alexandria
grocer, may receive part of $500
reward offered in the case, under a
suggestion made by 1t. Russell
Halves, chief of the Alexandria De-
tective Bureau.
The reward was posted by an
Alexandria businessman who identi-
fed himself only as friend of the
grocer, slain early last week. Four
District detectives, 1t. Halves and
three of his men have been credited
with solving the case in fatally
wounding William Henry McLaugh-
lin, 25, colored, an escaped convict,
during chase which began in an
eating place at Seventh and H
streets S.W., last Friday.
Aided by Colored Youths.
The. colored youths, whose identity
has not been disclosed. were said to
have found Mclaughlin before the
running gun-battle occurred.
In making his suggestion, 1t.
Halves pointed out that regulations
governing his department do not
prevent his men from accepting pri-
vate rewards and that he personally
has received them. However, he
added, in his point of view, rewards
are offered as inducements to aid
the police and encourage persons to
turn information over to them.
Eve developed Mclaughlin as a
suspect, he said. mo one told us,
or gave us a tip about him as a
suspect but we did use the two
colored boys in Washington who
knew him. We asked them to keep
track of Mclaughlin and his move
ments."
Won't Accept Reward.
1t. Halves said he and the other
Alexandria detectives, Russell
Greenwalt, Thomas Woods and
Robert Jones. unanimously decided
not to accept the reward because
they had carried out a routine
duty" and felt they were not en-
titled to additional pay for doing so.
District police joining in the chase
were Detective Sergts. John L. Sui
Ivan, shot in the finger during the
exchange of shots, George Cooper,
Otto Fuss and Thomas Harry. Dis
trict police regulations prevent
members Of the Metropolitan Po-
lice Force from accepting rewards
unless the money is offered by the
department, it was said.
Alexandria police said today that
Mrs. Maggie Mclaughlin, the mother
of the slain gunman, had claimed
his body at Alexandria Morgue and
would take it to Petersburg for
burial.

teachers for Maryland schools BY
the opening of the 1916 term looked
dark today as school officials re-
ported wide gaps in the teaching
stats.

scale, although the State and most
| of the counties have granted. addi-
tional salary increases recently, an
Associated Press survey disclosed.

ties, Dorchester, Worcester, Somerset
and Wicomico, reported that it was
difficult to find white teachers fol
physical education, industrial arts
agriculture and one-room elemen-
tary schools.

in the county, he had five vacancies
which he did not think would be
filled this year.
Dorchester County Supt. w. T.
Boston reported that out of 12C
white teaching positions, nine were
vacant. Worcester County has open
ings for nine of ten among So white
posts, and Somerset County -four OF
five" out of 80 posts.
At Hooper Island in Dorchester
County, 300 residents have signed a
petition requesting the Board of
Education to provide teachers Sc
that the islands high school can be
opened next month.
Unless instructors can be obtained
Mr.. Boston said the pupils would
have to be taken into Cambridge.
DR.. David B. Jenkins, Anne Arun-
del County School superintendent
said the county needed nine high
school teachers, including specialists
in physical education, social stud
les and guidance; seven white ele-
mentary school teachers and five
Negro school teachers.
Issues Appeal for Teachers.
In Allegany County. Charles L
Kopp, superintendent of schools, has
issued an appeal for teachers to
NIL IT vacancies, including a prin-
cipalship.
The Frederick County Board OF
Education reported that there were
still several posts to be filed. The
board said there were no shop
teachers at the frederick High
School and no. teachers at all for
the Philips Delight School near
Wolfsville.
Probably one Of the worst short
ages exists in the Baltimore City
schools, where John H. Fisher, as
sistant superintendent, reported Is
vacancies in the elementary schools
He declared the situation was the
worst the city ever had experienced
In Washington County, the Board
OF Education reported that IL vacan-
cies still are untitled.
A Montgomery County School
Board spokesman said he antici-
pated no real trouble. Out of a
roster of about GAO teachers, he said
only vacancies now are several shop
teachers, one first grade and one
kinderga
He said there had been a fairly
large turnover of teachers this sum
mer, but the situation now was well
in hand.

necessary "to assure that more
lumber will flow into housing" has
been reached by the National
Housing agency and the civilian

statement said.
MIA officials have declared their
belief that too much lumber, sore
ly needed in the housing drive, has
been escaping into industrial and
commercial uses through sales at
the lumber mill.
simultaneously, Wyatt refused
for a second time the request of
Governor Thomas E. Dewey of
New York for a "super priority
on lumber and other materials
which the governor termed es-
sential to completion Of that states

The MIA director told Governor
Dewey by letter that the housing
shortage "is a national problem
which must be met on a national
basis.
TT cannot be solved on a national
basis by diverting materials from
California or Ohio to solve New
York's shortage more quickly, and
