Folllard and William Peake, both Washington newspaper men, announced this morning, through their attorney, Danfel 8. Ring, that warrants would be asked for the ar- rest of the policeman, who is alleged to have made an assault on Peake. The two reporters appeared in Po- lice Court this morning for a hearing on the disorderly conduct char but no corporation counsel was available to prosecute the case, and it was thought inadvisable to continue with- out one, due to the fact that 20 wit- nesses had been summoned. The alleged assault occurred at Emergency Hospital. Peake and Fol- liard had gone to the hospital in the line of their work to investigate an automobile accident. Peake is said to have entered the emergency room and questioned one of the persons who were in the auto- mobile at the time of the accident. The patient, slightly injured, appar- ently had become hysterical, it is said. and shouted across to his friend not to tell the newspaper men anything. He is said to have rushed at Peake, hit him and pushed him out of the room Police were called and two officers appeared as Peake and Folliard were leaving the hospital. One of them is said to have struck Peake on the back of the head. When both Peake and Folllard remonstrated, they charge that Peake was struck twice again. WITH ONE FIRM 50 YEARS.

CHRISTMAS CHEER DISPENSED TO HOMELESS More Than Thousand Men Feast and Sleep at Missions Over Holiday. Christmas memorles of brighter va. Fleeting visions of smiling faces and babbling volcgs of children. Recollections of childish faith in a be-whiskered old philanthropist with a portly frame that defled small chimneys and a sleigh that defied gravity. Thoughts of home, kindled in the weary minds of those who have no home. Such were tha yuletids reflections that passed In review yesterday at Washington refuges for homeless men. Given Real Christmas. Nor were these memories a mockery to goad those with whom fate has dealt unkindly. They were happy flash-backs, kindled by savory odors of roast meat, cheery Christmas music and generous gifts of clothing and other necessities, which featured the yule celebrations in the city's mis- stons and other institutions yesterday. More than a thousand unfortunate men, many without family ties or friends, were remembered during the day's festivities. Appetizing dinners prepared by thoughtful institutional authorities were served in the mis- sions and at the jail, and stacks of presents were distributed to men who long since had forgotten there was a Santa Claus. Approximely 250 men were treated to roast pork, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, peas, coffee and bread and butter at the Central Union Mission yesterday evening, and the 250 teds NEW WING OF JAIL READY INFEBRUARY Furnishing Goes Forward With Deficiency Funds—Fed- eral Prisoners Not Crowding. Work has gone forward toward fur- nishing the new east wing of the Dis- trict Jall, and it probably will be ready for final occupanc; bout the middle of February, Maj. W. L. Peake, super- intendent, said today. Funds for equipment of the new wing became available several days ago with the signing by President Coolidge of the urgent deficiency bill which carried $13,000 for the addition. In order to relieve congestion, the wing was occupied temporarily four months ago and cots and blankets were furnished by the Army and Marine Corps. Included in the new equipment will be a new kitchen to serve the entire institution. ‘When ready for permanent occu- pancy, Maj. Peake said, the new wing would accommodate 200 prisoners, leaving the remaining three wings to take care of a total of about 400. Maj. Peake had 450 prisoners on the roster today, including about 50 Fed- eral prisoners awaiting penitentiary terms who cannot be admitted to At- lanta or Leavenworth because of the overcrowded conditions at those places. These §0 prisoners in no way ha increased congestion at the jail, as it is now 150 under comfortable ca- pacity, but Maj. Peake expressed the fear today that if the penitentiury offenders are allowed to “back up” there might be a serious condition in the future. He has appealed to the Department of Justice to provide quar- ters for the Federal prisoners. — SAP WOULD CHANGE NAME Mr. Butensky Also Tells Court He Is Ridiculed. Correspondencs of The Star.
