Since the first story appeared in The | | Star of Tuesday, teiling of the filthy | and overcrowded state of the lockup | in the little Maryland suburb, the State of Maryland has seen fit to recog- nize officially the gravity of the matter, Dr. R.

ALERT CIVILIANS ASSIST SLEUTHS Two Men Found in Tobacco Store Captured After They Eluded Police. Captured by civilians waen they eluded police after being surrounded in | the tobacco store of the George W. Cochran Co., $12 Fourteenth street, last night, James R.

Mothershead was captured by Comos Argiros, 28 years old, 906 Fourteenth street, who retained his hold on the prisoner even when he was severely beaten. Burch was caught by Duke | Warneke, an employe of the Cline | Radlo Co., 920 Fourteenth street, who had turned in the original alarm ‘Warneka called the police at 10:30 last night, and Thompson, McDonald and several other policemen responded, but couid not at first learn what bulld- ing had been entered. Find Iron Bars Severed. Finally they discovered that the iron bars on a rear window of the tobacco store had been sawed in half, and then drawn together again and the window lowered. The police entered, but could not see the men so went to the cellar. While they were down there the gaen, who had been hiding on the first T, threw a hatchet through the plat> glass front door and then dashed through fit, Mothershead suffering severe lacera- tions on both hands from the broken glass. As they started across the street to PFranklin Park a number of civillans gave chase, Warneka capturing Burch within a short distance. Mothershead, however, was more fleet of foot and led Argiros through the park to an alley near H street and then back to Four- teenth street, where Mothershead is sald to have struck Argiros In the face with some kind of a blunt Instrument. ‘The youth held on, however, until Mc~ Donald took the man into custody Argiros Makes Charges. After he was treated at Gegrge Wash- ington University Hospital, Where four stitches were taken in hix cheek, Ar- giros explained to the detectives that had a speclal reason for chasing Mothershead. A short time before the men were discovered in the tobacco store, he said, Mothershead came into the delicatessen in which Argiros works, displayed a $5 bill and asked for change. The youth got the change and brought it to Mothershead, who, in- stead of handing over the $5 bill, grab- bed the money and fled, Argiros said. He was out looking for Mothershead when he came dashing through the glass door. When searched at head- quarters the men are said to have had in their possession $30 that was taken from the clgar store. Police records show that Mothers- head had previously been arvested on a charge of hold-up and robbery and ater was arrested on several house- breaking charges, but was adjudged in- sane and sent to St. Elizabeth's Hos- pital, He was released last December.

Momsen, in exactly 3 minutes by a stop watch, broke the surface. “The Lung” | is so cevised that as the oxygen in the | | bag expands and gives too much breath | | to the ascending man, a simple pres- | | sure on the bag will cause part of the | oxygen to escape through a release valve | | and bring the contents of the bag down | to ordinary breathing conditions. Diver Eiben, with Hoy as his lock | tender, then went down and repeated Lieut, Momsen's ascent, taking 2 min- utes and 45 seconds for his ascent. Both | the men who used “The Lung" and the | tenders were put in the small decom- pression chamber of the Crilley. Five hours from Washington, where there was competent medical attention, Lieut. Momsen said he felt it was necessary to take every precaution to prevent the “pends,” although he belleved that without decompression there would have been no serious effect. Reporter Makes Test. In the afternoon Lieut. allowed the writer to test “The Lung | from a depth of 22 feet. The device worked perfectly and, taking it along slowly, I reached the surface in 30 seconds. As an added precautionary measure a life-line held by Chief Gun- ner Tibbals was secured around my | chest and was used to pull me up beside the small boat after I had | renched my cork buoy at the surface. The inventors of “The Lung" expect that it will be placed in submarines as | part of the general equxfmem. Just as | service fiyers are required to carry | parachutes. With the aid of escape hatches for all the compartments in submarines, a rammed submarine could be emptied of its_human cargo in a short time. Submarine compartments are so built that they act as a natural diving bell when flooded. “Lungs” placed handily at the hatches would allow the orderly escape of trapped men. The inventors claim that the device is ex- pected to enable men to go from one compartment to another before leaving the submerged ship. ‘The rescue apparatus, still only in its experimental stages, is_admittedly in need of refinements. The one in use yesterday was made by the inventors with their own hands at the Navy Yard here. It is crude, old gas mask tubing, heavy rubber sheeting, an auto- mobile tire valve, some small rubber hose. such as that used for syphons, and a small canister of soda lime to purify the carbon dioxide exhaled by the wearer are the principal parts. There are intricate valves, however, the work- Momsen ously by the Inventors. Easy to Don. ‘Two tubes connect with the rubber mouthpiece and the oxygen bag. Be- fore leaving a sunken vessel the wearer, who can don the apparatus in from 5 to 30 seconds, can secure a supply of oxygen from oxygen tanks already car- ried in strategic positions aboard sub- marines in a second or two, and thence leave the ship by the aforementionel escape hatches. On the Crilley's return to Washington (the boat, by the way, was named for Frank Crllk‘r. vho was awarded the Oongressional medal for his work In the attempted rescue of the crew of the rammed S-4) the tests with “The Lung"” will be carried forward. When the reconditioned §-4, now in the Portsmouth, N. H, Navy Yard, is put into commission about Oectober 1 this device will be given its final tests The actual escape hatch method of leaving the vessel will be tried. Lieut. Momsen, although he has not actually recelved his orders, has been designated to command her. 8he will be known technleally as a “test hulk." ‘Tibbals, Hobson and Momsen expect to take their tests of "“The Lung" as deep as 400 or 225 feet, off the New England Coast. “The Lxm{: will be by no means the only device tested aboard the 8-4.

United States Attorney Tuttle is coming to the front more as a candidate for his norina- tion. The matter, however, has not been settled and the nomination is to made in_State convention next month. The Republicans, too, have not yet picked a candidate for Senator, to run for the seat now held by Senator Copeland, who hopes to be the nominee of the Democrats to succeed himself. There is talk in some Democratic circles of drafting Senator Wagner to run for governor this year, and the pos- sible appointment of Franklin D. Roost velt to fill the Senate vacancy. But Democrats, like Republicans in this re- spect, have not decided upon & guberna- torfal candidate to succeed Gov. Smith. Here in Albany County, Democrats are eonfident of running up a majority for Smith in the presidential election. ‘They have an alrtight organizatio: The Republicans are hoping to hol this majority down to 7,000 or 8.00 but they have made no claims yet the they can carry the county agains Smith and for Hoover. The Republicans in New York S as elsewhere, are making a play the woman vote for Mr. Hoover. B there are many women who support Gov. Smith.
