" THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON D. C., THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1921 Abe Martin Says: TIVE FOR HEARINGS OND. G VOTES SET Measures on Representation and Municipal Election to Come Up Late in September. The Senate District committee, it was announced, following its meeting Yesterday afternoon, will hold hear- ings the latter pcrt of September on the Poindexter and Capper bills for the election of delegates to Congress by the people of the District. The proposed legislation also provides for the election: of the District Commis- sioners, the members of the Public Utilities Commission and the mem- b befs of the board of education. - The committee decided to postpone these hearings until the hot weather of summer is gone. ‘The committce ordered a favorable report on the Capper bill providing for the appointment of the members of the board of education by the Dis- trict Commissioners, instead_of the Justices _of the District Supreme Court. The bill as originally drafted provided for appointment by e President. The committee decided to place this power in the hands of the Commissioners. If it’s possible t’ turn over in {your grave we’ll bet John Bar- Ileycorn has got all th’ upholster- in’ rubbed off his coffin. Th’ appointment o’ a qualified man t’ office in this countey is so unusual that we're allus afraid ther’s some catch t’ it. (Copyright National Newspaper Bervice.)

Determined that there shall be no repetition of the disorder which in- terfered with the carnival held at Capitol Heights Monday night, July 4, and resulted in injury to a number of persons, residents of the Prince Georges county town last night held two meetings to discuss the matter. One meeting was held by the town council, Edward L. Payne, president, pregjding, while the other was a meet- ing” of League. At the meeting of the councll it was voted to suspend Town Safliff Kelly Harris because of his failure to handcuff Henry M. Darneille, ‘Washington policeman, alleged to have started the trouble; while at the meeting of the league, President George Nairns, presiding, it was voted to make every offort to bring the cases to trial at an early date. Harris surrendered his equipment to the town officials yesterday afternoon. Speedy Trial Urged It 18 believed the cases of the three men, Henry M. Darnellle, Joseph Ad- dison Darneilie and Frank Nimmo, charged with assaulting residents of the town who were enjoying the fes- tivities at the carnival, will not be tried until the October term of the court at Marlboro. It is said, however, that a special term of the court may be held before that time and that the cases may be advanced and tried at that session. Following the transaction of rou- tine business and reaching a decision to have a delegation visit Commis- sioner James F. Oyster at 4 o'clock this afternoon and lay the facts be- fore him. with reference to Policeman Darneille, some of the older members of the council formed a vigilance committee, to see that order is pre- served in town. It also was decided to have a dele- gation visit,the Capitol today and in terview Senator Weller and Repre sentative Sydney Mudd, asking them to use their influence to obtain a speedy trial for the alleged offenders. Indignation was expressed because of the statement of Policeman Dar- neille to a Star reporter ¢hat bootleg whisky, indulged in by certaip per- sons, was the cause of the trouble. Residents of the town deny that there had been any drinking on the part of persons atending the carnival. There was not the slightest sign of trouble there until Policeman Darneille be- came involved in dispute with onlook- ers, .t was stated. the Capitol Heights Civic MINE PROBE STARTS S00N.

S. | one of First Women to Enter Prac- tice of Medicine. Dr. Alice Burritt, one of the first women to enter the practice of medi- cine, died shortly after 8 o'clock last night at the Homeopathic Hospital. She was born in Uniondale, Pa. more than seventy-nine years ago. She was graduated from the New York Medical College in 1879 and spent the early years of her profes- sional career in Oakland, Calif. She practiced there for fourteen years. During that time she was ‘twice elected vice president of the Cali- fornia State Homeopathic Society. In 1893 she came to this city and engaged in active practice of medi- cine until five years ago, when she retired. ~ For the last several week¥ she had been in i1l health and early yesterday her condition became crit- ical, necessitating her removal to the hospital. Dr. Burritt was a_member of the Woman's National Press Club, Na- tional Woman's Party, District of Co- lumbia W. C. T. U, Order of the Eastern Star, Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution and of the Church of the Covenant. Adopted as Part of Uniform by Order of Secretary Weeks on Pershing’s Recommendation. The Sam Browne belt worn by all offieers of the allied armies in the world war has been adopted as part of the regulation uniform of officers of the United States Army. A deci- sion to that effect has been made by Secretary Weeks on the recopmenda- tion of Gen. Pershing, chief’of staff. The belt was adopted by the British army several years ago and is in use also in the French and other Euro- pean armies. Under an_grder issued by Secretary Baker, American officers who served in Europe, were not per- mitted to wear the belt after their return to the United States. ception, however, was made in the case of Gen. Pershing and he has worn it ever since. The official explanation of the or- der against the wearing of the belt was that it drew a line of distinction between officers who had served over- seas and those who had served in the United States, and further, that its use made It difficult to distinguish between officers of the American Army and those of Great Britain. Un- | der the new order. all officers of the | Army except those in the nurse corps. must wear the Sam Browne belt aft- er July 15. These belts cost about $20 and probably will have to be procured in England or France, as there are not many of them In’stock in this country at present. DEFER ACTION ON LOBBY.
