State Audit CHARGES
Improper Handling
OF Virginia U. Funds,
By The Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 17.-An
audit of the accounts and records
Of the University of Virginia has re-
vealed certain improper practices
in the handling of funds by the
registrar of the school, J. Gordon
Bennett, State auditor of public &C
counts has reported to Gov. Tuck.
MIR. Bennett reported that it was
discovered that without the know
ledge of the State auditor and of the
hursar's Office, the registrar at the
university, Miss Virginia E. Moran,
who retired in 1916 after many years
of service, was collecting revenue.
I'm June, 1916, during the course
of our examination our attention
was directed to the fact that the
bursar;s (treasurer's) Office had on
occasions cashed for the registrars
office certain checks made payable
to that Office" the auditor reported.
ION the basis OF this information
we investigated the matter and
learned that the registrars Office had
been collecting transcript fees over
a period of years. Certain of these
fees had been deposited in bank
to a special account in the name OF
the registrar, and other collections
were on hand in boxes and attached
to correspondence requesting tram
scripts of certain individuals aca-
demic records"
Involved in these deposits, the
auditor found, were checks, cash and
money orders amounting to at least
S3,175. And some OF the checks
dated back to 1929.
I'm view of the fact that a number
of the checks had been held by
the registrars Office for number
of years, we recommend that ar
rangements be made with local
bank to attempt the collection" of
these, the auditor recommended.

his office yesterday about the sltua-
ton.
At the plant, Mr.. Roney outlined
this plan for returning the laundry:
AS soon as possible, all the articles
will be sorted and bundled. A special
crew of part-time employees went to
work on that project last night.
Three Return Points.
Laundry taken in at the nine
District offices will be available at
the plant Office. That which came
from stores in Hyattsville and Col
lege Park in Maryland will be
assembled at the College Park store,
at 1915 Baltimore boulevard. That
submitted in Alexandria will be re-
turned to the store at 522 King
street.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Roney emphasized
it won't do any good to visit either
stores or the plant Office until the
goods are ready He hopes that will
be by the end of next week.
At that time, he said, advertise
ments announcing the fact will be
put in newspapers, and notices will
be placed in windows of all the stores
affected. He also urged anxious
laundry owners not to telephone ito
see how things are coming along.
Laundry will have to be returned
just the way it is, Mr.. Allen added.
Housewives might find a finished
shirt, wet socks and some towels
that haven't even been touched in
the same bundle" he commented
"but we can't possibly finish them.
80 Other Stores Affected.
Also affected were 80 other stores
toperated independently under the
Howard name. Although not con.
cerned in the bankruptcy case, they
were under contract to have theil
cleaning done at the Howard plant
Mr.. Roney said. Special efforts will
be made to return most of theil
cleaning first.
A check of some of the stores to.
day indicated most of them have
already contracted to have theil
work done elsewhere.
Mr.. Honey also explained that the
stores have not been operated by
w. D. Howard for about IS months
but that his name was retained
when the stores were sold.
Locations of the bankrupt stores
Mr.. Roney said, are:
At the South Capitol street plant;
622 Seventh street S.W.; 500 Fourth
street S.W.; 420 H street NE; $500
Georgia avenue NV; 1909 North
Washington boulevard, Arlington

Laundry of 7 900 Customers
Cutters Bankrupt Plant

Unfond remembrances of wartime
laundry delays are haunting about
1000 Washington area housewives
these days.
The laundry in question was de-
posted at 10 establishments which
went out of operation last week
when w. D. Towards, Inc, was de-
clared bankrupt in District Court.
A visit to the Howard cleaning
plant at 1347 South Capitol street
disclosed literally hundreds of thou
sands of pieces of linen and articles
of apparel lying around in varied
degrees of being cleaned-left just
where they were when the Offices
closed.
Most Of the articles were bundled
and marked, ready for washing.
Others, still wet, were packed
into vast washing machines. Some
were overlooking from dryers. In
another room, stacks of clothing
stood ready to be ironed.
Attorney Views nightmare"
There are also some 1000 dresses,
suits, coats and trousers in various
stages of being dry cleaned in an
other part of the plant.
"It looks like a housewives night
mare just before washday, doesn't
it?" sighed Joseph A. Roney, Wash
ington attorney.
The court named Mr.. Roney i'm
partial receiver for assets of the
bankrupt corporation. Seeing that
all the laundry and dry cleaning Il
returned to its rightful owners Is
one of his jobs-"certainly the big.
gest and most immediate" he said
Mr.. Rooney added that the house
wives think so, too. His Office staff
| at the Woodward Building, he said
has been kept busy for the last few
days dealing with telephone calls
Holding down the plant Office BY
himself is Carroll F. Allen, manager
of the corporation, who was per.
suaded by Mr.. Roney to stay on anc
help with disposition of the laundry
and cleaning.
- Calls Beset Allen.
Mr.. Allen said telephone calls also
take up most of his time at the plant
and added that they continue to rol
in at his home at night.
The Star yesterday tried period.
ically for about two hours to reach
John A. Bresnahan, District referee

his telephone, too, has been pretty
completely tied up by the laundry
queries.

could get their laundry back" he
said. II can't. don't have anything
to do with it," Mr.. Bresnahar
estimated nearly so calls came into

Fairfax Jail Escapee
Faces Two New Auto
Theft Charges Here

Two new charges of unauthor-
lied use of vehicle are to be
brought today against Lawrence W..
Brown, 19-year -old fugitive from the
Fairfax County Jail, who was re-
captured yesterday aboard a yacht
at the Corinthian Yacht Club.
Police said Brown would appear
in Police Court this morning.
The alleged theft of the two
vehicles occurred since Brown and
two companions made their escape
week ago, police declared.
The youth already faces two in
dict1nents here, one for grand
larceny and unauthorized use of a
vehicle, the other on the latter
count alone. He was on bond on
these indictments, police said, when
jailed in Fairfax County.
District Court Justice Bolitha j.
Laws yesterday afternoon issued a
bench warrant to hold Brown in the
District, after his bondsman, Meyer
Weinstein, requested to be relieved
of his bond.
Found Last WILL"
The youth, whose address was
given as the 100 block of G street
NE, was being held for grand jury
action in Fairfax County on charge
of breaking and entering at the time
of his escape from the Fairfax Jail.
After the Jail break was discov-
cred, Fairfax authorities found
Browns last, will" which, the youth
wrote, was written ''in case I get
killed trying what I am going to do
tonight"
The will read:
1.-The $3.50 have got in the Office
I want to go to Miss Patty Bailey,
$40 E street NE, and my mother,
Mrs. Jane Kaiser. 500 to Miss
Patty Bailey. And every things
elce I have to my mother. Oh, my
% rifle to my Grand Father, Mr.. j.
P. Dodd. This last will is in case !
get killed trying what am going
to do to night"
| Police described Miss Bailey as
Browns former girl friend"
Sorry to do this to you, Mr..
Love-" the youth added in q post
script to the Fairfax jailer.
IT want roses" he continued in
another apparent afterthought, land
to 60 to Lees at 4 & Mass. Ave. NE. y
IL Men Effect Arrest.
Warned that the fugitive's recap
ture might provoke violence by the
fact he left a will as well as re-
ports he was heavily armed, police
took no chances yesterday morning
when the youth was found aboard
a yacht at the Corinthian Yacht
Club.
A squad of IL men stood by while
|spotlights played on the hideout.
Then Precinct Detective G. I. Smith
and Detective Sergt. Francis E. Bur-
CESS opened one of the matches and
ordered Brown to come out. Break
ing through the cabin door, they
captured the youth, who made no
use of rifle and shotgun found
nearby.
