SPITE IS CHARGED INTRIAL OF POLICE Counsel for Aileged Assault Victim Is Accused by Defendant. Charges that Attorney P. J. Ryan, counsel for the prosecuting witness in the police beating case, was out “to get” Lieut. J. H. Plerson, one of the defendants, were made before the police trial board yesterday after- noon, at the resumption of its hearing of testimony In the case of Lieut. Plerson and other policemen, charged with complicity in the beating of Arthur A. Dav The charge was made by Policeman R. C. Carroll, one of the defendants, when he took the stand on his own behalf. Practically the entire afternoon ses- ston given over. to hearing char- acter witnesses, principaliy police officials, for one or more of the'de- fendants. It was all favorable. Then there was testimony tending to prove that Private J. F. Gawen, one of the defendants, was not in No. 7 precinct the night of the alleged attack on Davis. The testimony showed that he !s a member of No. 3 precinct, and was on duty from midnight until 7 a.m. on July 27, the time of the affair. He was working a “double beat,” James L. Mavars, being his partner. Mavars testified that Gawen was with him during the entire tour of duty. Policemen E. L. Lake and John An- tonelll, No. 3, testified from the books as to recelving reportshourly that morning over the poMce call system from the two officers. Sergt. John E. Bowers, No. 3, testified to seeing Gawen at midnight, and on his beat, at about 3:15 o'clock. Carroll Takes Stand. Policeman Raymond B. Carroll, one of the defendants, when he took the stand testified to atding in the search for Arthur Davis the night of the alleged assault on Policeman Mussel- man. He said he left the station house at 12 o'clock and arrived home 2 few minutes past the hour. as he lives only four blocks from the sta- tion house. He did testify that Lieut J. M. Plerson, one of the defendants had denied policemen the right to enter the cell room that .night. He had a prisoner there he wished to talk to, he said, but the statlon clerk refused the key, saying he had order: from Plerson to let no one in the cell room Then Carroll placed charges against Attorney Ryan in the record He testified that the first Intimation he had that he was connected with the case was when he saw the charges n the newspapers. The following morning after this publication, he said, he went to Mr. Ryan's office and asked him why he had made charges against him at this eleventh hour. To this Ryan repiied as follows, he told the trial board: I don’'t know any of you boys. Lieut. Pierson is the only one I know. T am going to get him. He interfered with some of my witnesses in the Melvin case.’ " Charges Are Repeated. Attorney Ryan cross-examined the witness and brought out that Carroll was accompanied to the office by At- torney Russell Kelly. Asked by Ryan why he didn't name Kelly when he put the charges in, the witness said he had no reason. He reiterated his charge on cross-examination. Mrs. Margaret E. Carroll, wife of the defendant, took the stand and testified as to his coming home short- ly after midnight. Policemen Morgan. and Dodson of No. 7 testified they accompanied Carroll on his way home. Assistant Corporation Counsel Wha- ley, president of the trial board, ex- amined the witnesses onghe mater of what fixed the time and date that they went home with Carroll so firm- 1y and exactly in their minds. Mor- gan said it was the only time that he ever left the station house with Car- roll, and Dodson said he remembered that “Carroll had a man locked up.” The character witnesses were Jo- seph A. Oliver, president of the Georgetown Citizens' Assoclation; B. Agee Bowles, vice president of the Potomac Savings Bank; Ford E. Young, business man of Georgetown; Mrs. Frank H. Arendes, Isaac B. Nordlinger, Police Inspector Harri- son, Capt. Robert E. Doyle, No. 8 precinct; Lieut. James Conlon and Lieut. James L. Giles, sub T station; Capt. Martin Riley and Capt. Sanford. The board will resume its hearing at 10 o'clock tomorrow mornips. —_— - POSTAL PAY VETO DEFEAT PROBABLE BY SMALL MARGIN (Continued from First Page.) a complate comes wi victory when the time s discussed Those Senators with whom the President discussed this legislative fight were Senator Cummins of lowa, President of the Senate, and Senators McKinley and McCormick of Illinois, Gooding of Idaho, Stanfield of Oregon and Spencer of Missour Senator Oddle of Nevada, another early morning caller, said his visit had nothing to do with the postal pay increase bill, but that he discussed generally legislation to meet the reclamation problem of the country. Senator Stanfield, apon leaving his conference with the President, said, regarding the retirement bill which he will handle in the Senate, he has reached an agreement with the steer- ing committee whereby time wili be allotted for the consideration of the pending amendments to the civil serv- ice retirement act shortly after the Christmas holidays. He does not look for a serious opposition to the amend- ments in the Senate. Lehlbach Bill Uncertain. As for the Lehlbach bill, abolishing the personnel classification board and transferring its functions to the Civil Service Commission, Senator Stan- field has not as yet reached am agree- ment with the steering committee, and is not certain that it can be taken up in the Senate for a number of weeks to come. He réemains hope- ful, however, of {is passage In the present session. The bill already has passed the House.

While Representative Britten's conference with the President yesterday brought no indication of the Executive's views regarding his gun-elevation bill, it has been made plain that Mr. Cool. idge regards the few ships actually involved in this question as making it not of primary importance. In addition to gun clevation, mem- bers of the naval committee indicated they desired in the course of the hear- Ing to question the Secretary with regard to Increasing the limit of cost of the two airplane carriers, Lexing- ton and Saratoga, now under com- struction, so that they can be rushed -0 completion; the equipment of these carrlers with planes, and the ad- visabllity of strengthening the Navy by the construction of additional 1ight crulsers. —— CAPITAL TO ESCAPE SEVERE COLD WAVE (Continued from First Page.) Great Falls, Mont. Elsewhere in tht region temperatures ranged from 12 o 26 below zero. Montana had six deaths yesterday indirectly attributable to the storm. Four persons were killed when a tram car was struck by a Great Northern passenge train in a bliz- zard Two children were suffocated in a fire at Bozeman while their mother was Christmas shopping. An ice-coated windshield was held re- sponsible for the deaths of two young women and two young men at Ster- ling, Colo., where a Burlington pas- songer traln struck .their automoblile as they speeded homeward after a dance. Rotary plows were used to clear tracks in the Glacier National Park region, where drifts 10 feet deep blocked trains. The icy blasts extended into Utah, New Mexico and Colorado, with snow falling or forecast for today. The plains tates were feeling tinges of subzero weather. Snow and sieet were general over Kansas and Missouri, while Nebraska thermom- s hovered sbout the zero point. Snow was forecast for today and tomorrow in fowa. Des Moines had a fall of 14 inches in four hours last night. In the Great Lakes region rains last night had frozen early today, leaving an icy coating that was being covered by snow today. Colder weather, with snow, was forecast. Wire communication in the Mid- west was not much affected by the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. BALLOU TO OFFER &-YEAR PROGRAM Will Present Buiiding Sched- ule to School Board This Afternoon. The five-year school building pro- gram designed to provide adequate ac. commodations for all pupils enrolied in the District public schools and to eliminate all undesirable quarters such as portables and rented struc- tures, will be presented to the Board {of Education this afternoon by Supt. Frank W. Ballou. The board is ex- pected to approve the program and transmit it to Congress. ‘The program calls for the construc- tion of certain number of new schools each year during the five- year period, the scrapping of alil buildings recommended for abandon- ment in 1308 by a congressional com- mission, as well as one additional school a year, and the purchase of hool sites in advance of their need. Means Seat For All Dr. Ballou pointed out today that If Congress approves the building program as It has been drafted, there will be a seat in a desirable school for every pupil at the end of the five- year period, ending for the time be- ing, the now calloused cry for ad- ditlonal school accommodations. The superintendent did not reveal, how- ever, the total estimated appropri- ation required to carry out the pro- gram. It is proposed, however, to dis- tribute the appropriations over the five-year period. Purchase of available schooi sites ‘n advance of their need Is one of Dr. Ballou's most important recom- mendations. Such a plan is not only economical, he sald, but will obviate the necessity of condemning residen- tial property, in the future, for school use. Washington, in his opin- jon. is rebellious against the con- demnation of residential property because of the housing shortage. The appointment of three new school administrative officers—two first assistant _superintendents of schools and a chief of the board of examiners—provided in the teachers' salary bill, also will be made at the board's meeting this afternoon.

START AT $57.50 CLUB HEARS NOVELOGUE. Prof. Carter Troop Entertains With “White Monkey.” Members of the Arts Club of Wash- ington and their guests last evening were given an unusual treat at the club- house, 2017 I street, when Prof. Car- ter Troop of New York gave one of his famous “novelogues,” choosing for his subject John Galsworthy's “The White Monkey,” which 1s one of the most popular works of fiction of the year. Prof. Troop has an unusual facuity for story tellin d conden- tion. Last evening he rendered t long tale within hour and a quarter, glving his hearers a perfect understanding of its outstanding fea- tures, quoting passages to indicate the style, presenting word-pictures of leading characters and paraphrasing passages to afford a graphic under- standing of the context. His own humorous characterizations were pro- vocative of constant laughter. Prof, Troop will on Friday after- noon give a reading of “The Little French GIrl” at the residence of Mrs. Minnegerode Andrews for the benefit of the Instructive Visiting Nurses' So- clety. - Gunners Exchange Posts. Chief Gunner John Brenner, at the naval ammunition depot, Fort Mifin, Pa., and Chief Gunner Edward Wenk, at the Naval Observatory, this city, have been ordered to exchange sta- tions. . 1005 Pa Ave. “FOR A MAN'S ST PA TI D.

The Peruvian government is setting the pace of profiteering, having taken over the partially completed Hotel Bollvar and fixed a rate equivalent to $30 in American money. It is of- fering the guest the luxuries of life, but none of the common necessities. Many of the Americans are endeavor- ing to find accomodations in private homes.
