ROVER ASKS DELAY IN STEWART TRIAL Government Witnesses En- gaged in Campaign, Prose- cutor-Tells Court. Because Government witnesses are engaged on one side or the other in the current national political = campaign, United States Attorney Leo A. Rover has asked that the trial of Col. Robert W. Stewart, originally set for October 8, be postponed until December 3. Col. Stewart is chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana, and is under indictment here for perjury grow- ing out of the oil scandal. Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis- trict Supreme Court today ordered argument on the motion for a continu- ance of the trial postponed until Sep- tember 25, at which time Frank J. Hogan, counsel for the defendant, is ex- pected to be. back in the city. Names Nye and Wilsh. In an affidavit filed today Mr. Rover mentioned the names of two Senators, although there are others who will testify. and it is the desire of the Gov- ernment to put off the trial until De- cember, when the campaign will be over, and when the Senators and others wiil be back in Washington in connection with the meeting of Congress. Mr. Rover said, in his affidavit, that he has communicated with Senators Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota and| Thomas J. Walsh of Montana, “two witnesses without whose testimony the interests of the United States could not be properly maintained.” Both Senators Nye and Walsh, he says, have advised him that the date assigned for the trial, October 8, would prove undesirable and inconvenient, be- cause “each Senator in view of the im- pending national election has various engagements during the month of Oc- tober” for the most part made prior to the time the case was set for hearing. ‘Would Hamper Duties. He says further that each of these witnesses “in consonance with his duties as a public servant and official had had occasion to accept invitations to address audiences in various parts of the country on matters of the greatest national concern in the month imme- diately prior to the national election,” and that “these Senators as well as several others who probably will be called to testify in behalf of the United States could not appear in the District of Columbia on the date assigned with- out the surrender and cancellation of THE EVENING sundry public duties and tasks to which they have already been committed.” CHURCH PROTESTS DETENTION HOUSE St. Mark’s Lutheran Congregation Sends Resolution to Commission- ers Over B Street Site.

A crusade against the dangers of fire and for the popular adoption of fire precautions has been proclaimed by President Coolidge today in setting aside the week beginning on Sunday, October 7, as Fire Prevention week. Pointing out in his proclamation that most fires are easily preventable, the Chief Executive added that “however year by year fire has resulted in the destruction of thousands of lives and much material wealth, In 1927 property loss alone in the United States due to fire is estimated to have totaled more than $475,000,000, while loss of life from the same cause was likewise heavy.” Mr. Coolidge praised organized efforts already under way to propagate fire prevention practices, and urged that thes: be continued and enlarged. ,Quly room for a few Te ambitious men nd women in iimited classes now ready o Sart YLews TaIIneT Tor big-pay jobs—Iotels, Clubs, Apartmen Institutions, Schools, “Colleges, Resta: rants, Tea Rooms, Cafeterias.

The opening of the new McKinley High School at Second and T streets northeast this morning was consider- ably more of a problem than usually attends the first day of the school year. No students and few teachers were familiar with the new building, which consists of two 400-foot wings, and small printed floor plans of the struc- ture were distributed to the students to assist them in finding their way about. For most of the students 9 o'clock was the zero hour, but for pupils en- tering the high schools 10 o'clock was the reporting time at their new schools. Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, and Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant superintendent in charge of high schools, were visiting some of the schools this morning, while Robert L. Haycock, assistant superintendent in charge of elementary education, was at his desk directing the massed detail work of school opening. The absence of “emergency calls” from supervising and administrating principals and prin- cipals of the various buildings was taken by Mr. Haycock as an indication that Washington's boys and girls were being reinducted “}lxtigc educational channels (Contin EXCHANGE Small Investments Properties Subject to One Trust (Well Rented) For Ground Available for Building Purposes For Full Information Call J.
