20 D.C. HEADS REJECT CRANT'S PARK PLAN Object to Complete Revision of Procedure for Acquiring Land for Sites. An unfavorable report on the bill sponsored by Licut. Col. U. 8. Grant, 2d. director of public b\lildme and public parks of the National Capital, roviding for a complete revision of the ocedure for acquiring land for park ites by condemnation, was sent to ress today by the District Com- missioners. The proposed legislation, the Commissioners declared, is unneces- sary and undesirable. The Commissioners drew up thelr Teport following the receipt of an opin- fon from Corporatjon Counsel William W. Bride, to whom the bill had been referred. Bride satd some of the pro- wvisions of the measure were of highly guestionable validity. and if enacted the work of years would be destroyed. “While there are a few good points In the bill. it seems to me that a very few amendments to the present law w cure any objections to present e. which seems ta have worked well. in fact. despite theoretical to the contrary.” said the tion counsel. “Our present ve boen made concrete and seitled by appellate decision.” ‘The bill provides for the appointment br the President of an additional juse tice of the District Supreme Court who would specialize in condemnation cases. | It also provides that the Attorney Gen- | eral <hall represent the United Sutc<« in il condemnation proceediigs.

Some- times there seems to be an epidemic of it; then again we are fairly quiet. Just now we are having as little trouble at have had in the last year or two. ' vs consider, when complaints arc that men have succeeded in sup- pressing the main offenders, or that they are confined. “Counterfeiters are persistent. They repeat their offenses, so that we have as many as seven and elght records of the same man. The penalties for coun- terfeiting are, to my mind, severe enough if imposed by the courts; but there scems to be a disposition to br lenient with offenders in recent years.” Chairman Madden of the committec asked Moran if there was “too much sentimentality about it now?” Moran oplied he did not know u)\{ the leni- | cattle, sheep and swine to provide meat | ency seemed 1o be more prevalent now DETECTIVE SHOOTS MAN IN APARTMENT LOBBY A. F. Fleming, Recently Released From Penitentiary, in Serious Condition at Hospital. Detective Oscar W. Mansfield of the tenth precinct, investigating a robbery last night, surprised and shat Arthur Foley Fleming, colored, 28 years old, 1844 Thirtcenth street, when he en- countered him in the lobby of an apart- ment et 1434 Harvard street. Police stated that the man, who is in a serfous condition at Garfield Hospital with & bullet wound in the left breast, was found to have a jimmy and a screw driver in his coat pocket. Detective Mansfield stated that he followed the man into the apartment house, noticing him as he was investi- gating a robbery a few doors away, and that when he asked the prowler what he was doing here he was met with the roply: “None of your business. The detective stated that he fired as the man thrust his hand in his hip pocket and advanced toward him in a threatening manner. Police records in- dicate that Fleming was released re- cently from the penitentiary after serv- ing a term for apartment house rob- beries in the same neighborhood in which caught last night.
