- ANDURYBILS LEGATY ASSHLED :Jrade Board Committee to Propose Modified Con- demnation Plan. Belief that the two measures pro- posing new methods for the condem- nation of private land for Govern- ment purposes in the District of Co- lumbia, which now are being studied by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, would prove to be unconstitutional was voiced yester- day afternoon at a_ joint meeting of the committees on law and parks of the Board of Trade, held in The Star Bullding. One of these measures which are in- cluded in the list of six new proposed bills affecting the development pro- gram for Washington, and which were drafted for the planning commission by Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, would provide for the appointment by Presi- dent Coolidge of a single judge of the District Supreme Court, who would decide all condemnation cases in the District. The other would set up a special condemnation jury of three, two of whom would be non-residents of the District of Columbia. Purposes Are Explained. The purposes of the bills were ex- plained to members of the two com- mittees of the trade body, after which the point of their constitutionality was raised by Judge Daniel Thew Wright, ‘Alexander Wolf, chairman of the law committee, and William Bruce King. After considerable discussion of the measures, during which 1t was gener- ally agreed by members of the com- mittees that the proposals would not stand the test of constitutionality, Mr. Coldren announced that a modified form of a proposed condemnation bill would be submitted for study in the nea# future. Joint Committees Named. . special joint committee of the two ccmmittees was named to consider the niodified bill. Members of the joint cummittee are Edwin C. Graham, pres- ident of the Board of Trade, chairman; Aiexander Wolf, vice chairman; Jo- seph 1. Weller, Willlam B. King, Chester Wells, and Charies F. Con: sual, who is chairman of the park committee. The committee is to meet next Monday evening at § o'clock. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, Frank P. Leetch and Herbert L. Davis, auditor of the District Supreme Court, were among those attending the meeting yesterday. Mr. Wolf presided. LIFE SENTENCE SEEN FOR ERRING BUTLER Man Given Chance to “Go Straight,” Takes Gems From Employer. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 18.—Because he converted a chance to go straight into an opportunity to rob his em- ployer, Andrew Mazareck,. 32, was slated for a life term in Sing Sing prison today. Nine arrests and six convictions were in Mazareck's record when he was arraigned for robbing Thomas Farrell, who had employed him as a butler despite his police record. Maza- reck departed with his. employer's Jewels, valued at $7,500, ' the third week of his employment. “Somc people continue to believe criminals of your type can be re- formed,” said Judge Adel before pro- nouncing sentence. “One man who knew of your black record offered you @ chance. You repaid his confidence by stealing from him. You are a ‘worthless member of soclety.” Mazareck was sentenced as a fourth offender, making him subject to the life penalty provided by the Baumes 1aw. lenges comparison.

AND MRS, - CHRISTO- PHER VINCENT went driv- ing every atternoon promptly at 3 o'clock. Rain or shine, Molly and Nancy, the two fine bay mares, were hitched to the shining turnout and brought to the front of the gray stone house. There the houseman waited patiently until with great dignity Mrs. Christopher Vincent, followed by her fine-looking husband, moved down the walk. For 40 years now the procedure had been precisely the same every day at 3 o'clock. At 5 minutes after 3 one could depend upon seeing them turn into Crescent boulevard. Indeed, for the last 10 years the clock on the corner had been set by the traffic offi- cer by the coming of the Christopher Vincents, His white head held very high, Christopher Vincent in his beau- tifully tailored clothes, cut still in the fashion of 30 or 40 years back, drove the bay mares. Besides him, her stiff black silk dress arranged with delight- ful exactness, sat his wife, with her white hair tucked neatly under the bonnet with pansies. A touch of Old ‘World beauty in the boulevard life of an up-and-coming city—that was the Christopher Vincents. Until—on this beautiful Friday aft- ernoon they turned the horses’ heads toward Crescent boulevard as usual. The traffic officer was quite evidently awaiting their coming, for his face got very red and his white-gloved fin- ger was running itself around inside his tight collar. “Afternoon, Riley,” saild Mr. Vin- cent pompously—for all the world ex- actly as he had said it every after- noon at 3:05 for the last 40 years. But Officer Riley’s face had not the answering Irish smile that it had al- ways had. Instead, he held up one hand and cleared his th “I'm sorry, sir,” he sald slowly, “but you can't drive on Crescent any more, sir. It's closed to.horse traffic, sir. Horses are too slow.” * Mr. Christopher Vincent stared down at him. “Horses too slow?” he repeated. “Just motor traffic from now on, sir,” said Riley doggedly. “I'm sorry, . But rules are rules, you know. a city rule now.” “We'll drive on Jefferson boulevard, my dear,” sald Mrs." Vincent com- posedly. “No ma’am, that's what I'm trying to tell you. It's a rule—only motor vehicles on the boulevards, ma'am.” And so the Christopher Vincents re- turned home a full hour and twenty minutes early that Friday. To people of wealth and dignity what possible joy could there be in driving: any- where but the boulevards? There was usually but little talk in the house of the two Vincents. Tonight there was none. Saturday morning when Mr. Vin- cent departed for his early morning constitutional as he had for the past 40 years he would have been sur- prised to see his wife leaving the house some 10 minutes later. She went in the opposite direction toward the huge apartment hotel with its arcade of select shops and turned in without hesitation at one with the sign “Beauty Shoppe. ‘When she came out she carried the queer, old-fashioned bonnet in her hand and her hair was dressed and waved in a style that was right up to the minute or even a second or two ahead of time. Her -eyebrows had been twitched into a very straight line and darkened just the least little bit. ‘With head high she turned into the shop next door and came out.a little later with a straightline frock of soft black silk and a wide-brimmed hat ::nt softened the fine wrinkles on her ce. Then she went home to face her husband. It had been one of the most humil- fating experiences of her life—the afternoon before that she had been too old-fashioned, too. slow, too out-of-date to appear on the boulevards. With resolute determination to look like every one else instead of, as she told herself, a “queer old chromo.” But Christopher Vincent was not at home. No, there had been ne telephone call. Nor did he get there by luncheon time. Mrs. Vincent could not take her usual afternoon siesta after luncheon, but she felt no need of rest, anyhow. She kept looking at herself in the long pler mirror of the living room and wondering why she had not modern- ized herself for 40 years. At 2:30 there was a prolonged toot-toot-ing outside and she scampered to the window with haste she had not known for years. There, very much excited, but with head high sat her hueband in a gleaming motor car. “Chrissle, honey,” she said, hurrying out to the curb. “Why—why—-" “No one’s golng to call us back numbers and get away with it.” he said with unaccustomed slang. ‘‘The poor old nags ought to be turned out to pasture anyhow! Jump in, Annie.” “My hat,” she said. “Oh, come on,” he said with all of the motorist’s impatience to be on his way. “I can run the thing—fine. Been at it all morning, Annie. We're going to drive right down Crescent boulevard—now.” And they did, making a full stop hefore entering, much to the amaze- ment of Officer Riley, who looked at the corner clock uncertainly and then grinned.

To replace him Albert E. McKay was unanimously elected. The citizens participated in a heated discussion of the recent increase in tax assessments. It seemed to be the consensus of opinion of the members that the Increase was unreasonable and exorbitant. It was voted that a committee of three be appointed to investigate the subject and make rec- ommendations. A resolution was adopted directing the traffic committee to request Traffic Director Harlan to investigate the parking conditions on G and F streets between Seventeenth and Twenty- third streets, and on Nineteenth street narrow . streets was dangerous to pedestrians and inconvenient to prop- erty owners in that section. The secretary read a communica- tion from the Kenilworth Citizens' As- sociation containing 2 request that the question of: the airport at Grav- elly Point be referred to a committee on the subject, the committee to take action to bring the proposed airport within the confines of the District. As no such committee existed, it was voted to have one appointed by the president. —_— The red cross on a white ground was adopted as a symbol of nursing south of street south of Pennsylvania avenue.
