INJUNGTION DENIED IN'ST. PAUL DISPUTE #hderal Judge Upholds Plan for Reorganization of Railroad. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 9.—Reorganization and, ultimate lifting of the receiver ship of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St Payl Railway is foreseen as a result of an opinion handed down here today by:Federal Judge James J. Wilkerson Judge Wilkerson denied the motion of the minority bondholders for, an in- | junction restraining the reorgariza n managers from proceeding with welr work. Reorganization Plan Approved. Judge Wilkerson already has ap proved the plan of reorganization sub- mitted by Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the National City Co. of New York when they’ acquired the St. Paul by pur o at public auction st Fall Judge Wilkergon's opinion sald ‘Viewing the record as a whole and having in mind the situation as it has developed here, the granting of this injunction upon the terms here proposed would be, in my opinion, an smproper exercise of the power of this court.” v May Apply This Week. As a result of this opinion understood that the reorganization managers next week will appear be- | fore the Interstate Commerce Com- Misslon fu Washingten ta formally apitly for the issuance of the n-=w wecurities necessary to complete the reorganization. The minority interests, which have consistently opposed the reorganiza- tion plans of the New York bankers, have been given until April 20 to de- posit their bonds if they wished to participate in the reorganization NATIONAL PARLEY ON CRIME LIKELY TO CONVENE HERE ¢ L iy (Continued_from First Page.) ment of authorized commissions is gratitying. In many cities, however, and in sev- eral of the States, ary local com- missions have been created by private citizens, so that there will be in ex- istence by the first of June, some fifty such local bodies. : # A number of the State Crime Com: missions appointed by the different Legislatures have filed with the Legis- latures this year definite recommenda- tions on legislation regarding crime. While there are no definite figures re- garding the number of the recom- mendations enacted into law, they ace reported in all cases to have received serious attention and many new and more effective laws dealing with crime awe expected to be entered on the State statute books in consequence. This work of securing the creation of special State commissions has been pushed by the National Crime Ccm- mission simultaneously with the ef- forts of its special committess to make ‘general recommendations on imnprove- ment in the efficiency and speed cf \ justice that would apply in ull fhe States. In almost every State the commission has found that some of these suggestions have been embodied in new legislation, and in many cases the suggestions already have lecome law. Firearms Legislation. The menace of the gunman having assumed serious proportions, a4 spe- cial committee was appointed by the National Crime Commission to pre- pare legislation relating to traffic in firearms, of which J. Weston Ailen former attorney general of Massa :husetts, is the chairman. This com- ittee, after hearings in New York city with the chiefs of police and the district attorneys of large cities on the Bastern seaboard, ur~ another hearing conducted in CL. o with representatives present fi... middle Western cities, drafted a model bill relating to the licensing and carrying ‘of small arms, and this bill was for- warded to governors and chairmen of the Judiciary Committees of the various State legislatures. The bill was passed as drafted by several State Legislatures, it is reported, while a majority of all legislatures which met last Winter adopted its provisions in varying degree. same committee will study certain mhases of the gun-carrying problem— such as the importation of foreign pistols and the prohibition of inter- state commerce in Dpistols, except under rigid regulation—during the coming Summer and a further report suggesting National Legislation on the subject will be made. With the rapid increase in forma- *tion of State and city crime commis- sions throughout the country, it is felt by those who have studied the problem that the time has come for close communication between the bodies already formed. Any move- ment which aims at a national con- ference, fostered by the Federal Gov- ernment, would of course receive the assistance of the National Crime Com- mission and its hearty co-operation. And if no call issues from Washington, the Crime Commission may ‘ecl that it should take the lead in such a faovement. Need of Uniformity Cited. The need of uniformity between the ates—particularly in such matters ®s the collection and dissemination of statictics, exchange of information rolating to criminals, regulation and restriction of the carrying of arms *and like matters—is considered to be very great indeed. With so many local bodies acting independently, the assistance of the Federal Governme: by inviting them to meet in W Ington and exchange theri probably would be welcomed the existence of crime in the States atter which involves the pent, the Federal might materially assist ranging such a con ference as proposed, it is pointed out The National Crime Commission was hcaded in. its formation by F.

The little fellow is a popular pet and has devel- oped delicate tastes in food. But the cod liver oil has been pre- scribed for him by a noted animal specialist.

TAKE UP CHANGES TAKE UP - INHIGHWAY PLANS vesterday was | itis lips, D. C. Heads to Give Hearing | April 16 on Recommenda- tions Made by Commission. | | Seven important changes in the highway plan of the District will be considered by the Commissioners at a public hearing in the board room of the District Buliding April 16. The ges already have been approved ional Capital Commission. The principal change provides for the elimination of a number of pro- Jected streets lying between Ridge and Conduit roads and the creation of new ones which will follow natural topography and make an ideal section for suburban development. To carry out the original plan, according to Melvin C. Hazen, District surveyor, would cause considerable cutting and felling of trees and the destruction of natural topography. Other Changes Outlined. The other changes provide for the elimination of North Capitol street between Oglethorpe and the Metropol- itan branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad; the elimination of Ames and W streets between New York avenue and Adams street, and the rearrange- ment of other strects in the section south of the National Training School for Boys between Bladensburg road and the Anacostia River to suit drain- age conditions; the rearrangement of Beach, Chestnut, Elm, Firtree and Barnaby streets west of Rock Creek at the District line to fit the to- pography, Also ‘the extension of Shepherd street between Fourteenth and Six- teenth streets in a curved manner in order to create a thoroughfare con- necting Fourteenth street and Piney Branch Parkway, ‘which will run under the Sixteenth Street Bridge; creation of a short street connect- ing Naval Observatory Circle with Wisconsin avenue and the elimination of Montana avenue between Fifth | street and Lincoln avenue and the widening and extension of Franklin street from Fouth street to Michigan | avenue. This late change will provide an |east and west street between Soldlers’ Home and Bladensburg road eventually to Anacostia parkway SHIPPING NEWS and Arrivals at and Sailings From New York.

Within 10 days the original group of 800 Central High School students | who left their classes because the Board of Education refused to con sider reinstatement of an English teacher who had been ousted after 24 years of service, have been joined by | 500 other students from other high schools in the city. | Strike leaders today started to can s the town, selling blue cards to tor strike advertising, | literature and other cost Through their spokesmen, they sued declarations today denying that parental pressure would bring them back to school next week. Two dean of Central High Sihool, where the | strike originated, were conducting : telephone campaign today i an effor to induce parents to force their chil | dren to return to classrooms. Teacher Takes No Part. i temaining quietly in the back ground is Miss Lulu J. Dickinson, the | English teacher, whose ousting by the board for what was deciared to be “‘opposition to school system policies' precipitated the trouble. The middle aged school teacher, who was ap proaching the retirement age when summarily dismissed, has taken no part in the controversy that has arisen over her ousting. One of the most popular teachers in Central High School, her discharge aroused her youthful students whose crusading for her reinstatement has split the town Into two factions. One supports the children in their demands that the school board grant Miss Dickinson a hearing, and the opposi- tion stands behind Superintendent Paul R. Spencer, and the Rev. A. T Ekblad, president of the school board. Maintaining a position of strict neutrality is Mayor Fred Baxter, who has been supported in his attitude by an opinion of the city_attorney, that he had no authority to act. This de- cision prompted the appeal to the governor at Madison.

The Barbee party was en route to a dance at the Indian Spring Golf Club, but had lost thelr way. An altercation ensued and reached its climax with the dis- charge of a revolver and the shooting | of Barbee. ! Seventy-five talesmen were called before a jury was obtained at the first trial, and it is anticipated that even greater difficulty in securing a | panel will be encountered tomorrow.
