Mrs. James J. Davis, wife of the Sec- retary of Labor, last night heralded Lutheran Churches of Washington for 1 $100,000 to purchase a site near | Wheaton, Md., for the proposed Na- tional College for Women, by contrib- uting $5,000 to the fund—money which she* ndmm,efl she had set aside for a “snappy” new roadster. Mrs. Davis announced her contribu- tion at a dinner meeting of the cam- paign leaders and workers at the Lee House. As honorary chairman of the campaign commitiee she has taken an active part in the pre-campaign activi- ties, personally procuring a number of pledges from prominent persons. The drive formally opened today, and will continue for 10 days. Campaign leaders announced at the meeting that approximately $35,000, including Mrs. Dayis' $5,000, already had been sub- scribed, leaving $65,000 to be raised. Business men of Washington, not mem- bers of the Lutheran Church, it was said, contributed $6,000 of the $35,000. Inspirational talks were made at the dinner by Edwin S. Clarkson, general | chairman of the campaign committe: | Howard E. Snyder, campagin manager; | | Rev. J. Edward Byers of Baltimore, | president of the Maryland Synod of th2 | United Lutheran Church; Col. P. M. { Anderson and Dr. William J. Showal- ! ter of the campaign executive commit- toe, and Mrs. William Hamilton Bayly of the general campaign committee. As soon as Washington raises the initial $100,000 for the site, a campaign will be launched in nine constituent synods, covering New York, New Jersey, Fennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Vir- ginia and West Virginia, for $1,000,000 | for buildings and $1,000,000 for endow- | | ment. | " The college will be a national insti- | tution and non-sectarian in character, although it will be_controlled by thz Lutheran Church. It will be fostered | by the board of education of the United | Lutheran Church in America. HESSE ANTICPATES Police Head Lays Plans to Handle Situation During Hoover Inaugural. Anticipating an acute traffic situation during the week of the inauguration of President-elect Hoover, Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, today began consideration of preliminary plans for handling the great influx of motor vehicles expected to come to Washing- ton from all sections of the country. Despitz the avowed simplicity of the inaugural ceremonies, Maj. Hesse be- lieves they will attract between 200,000 and 300,000 visitors, who will come by automobile in larger numbers than at any previous inauguration. Special traf- fic regulations, therefore, are in con- templation. Maj. Hesse pointed out that it may be necessary to create & number of temporary one-way streets and prohlbit parnn[ in the business section, such as done during the shrlne convention In 1923, ‘These emergency’ measyres will not be reeommended. haw:var. he dclared. unless there 4ire very definite indications they are absolutely justified.

This has been done on previous occasions, although at ths inauguration of President Coolidge a special appropriation for this purpose was not provided, and the police depart- ments of New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore and other cities in the East sent plain-clothes men at their own expense. Arrangements Held Up. Definite poiice arrangements, however, will be held in abeyance pending in- structions from the official inaugural commiitee. As Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, the “master of ceremonies,” is a military man, Maj. Hesse said he may have an idea to make some use of the troops stationed around Washington, and for that reasori he will not now take actual steps to make definite plans for policing the city for the inaugural. Inspector William S. Shelby, personnel officer of the Police Department, has been assigned the task of working out . | the special inaugural police details. He will be assisted by Inspectors Pratt and Harrison. APPROVES WHITING. ‘The nomination of William F.

Your Inspection Invited. H. L. RUST COMPANY 1001 15th St. N.W. Main 8100 Will Rogers NEW YORK—I told you Mr. Coolidge would run again some day. Didn't you see where he asked the St. Louis Post Dispatch to gat another White House where you could escape the asphyxiation of the other end of Pennsylvania ave- nue? That re- quest couldn’t have, been made for Hoovex, for it will take eight years to get it through Con- gress. I think that trip to Virginia the other day did it, when, for the first time, he saw ‘Washington's and Jefferson’s old week end hide- aways. But he can acquire the same results by just shutting the gates on the house he is in. It's not the humidity in Washington. It's the humility in having to meet who you do. Every Senator with a hill east of the Rocky Mountains will start trying to peddle it to us WOMAN STRUCK; MAN S INDICTED Grand Jury Find Against Him on Charges of Robbery and Assault. Joseph M. McCubbin was indicted to- day by the grand jury on charges of assault to rob and assault with a danger- ous weapon in connection with the beat- ing of Ruth E. Washington, colored, of 919 I street northeast. The woman was walking near the in- tersection of ninth and I streets north- east, November 3, when she was hit with a brick. She identified McCubbin as the man who assaulted her. Two white women were also attacked the same night and McCubbin was arrested in Hyattsville, Md.. with a brick in his hand. after a search throughout the city and in neighboring counties. Po- lice say, however, that McCubbin did not have anything to do with the as- sault on the two white women. James H, Irving, 19 years old, who was arresied August 6 while Slbpmpung to break open a safe at Foundry M. E Church, was indicted on four charges of housebreaking and larceny. - Two of the charges grew out of his entry of the church gmperty where h3 was discov- cred with an iron bar in his hands. Ye said he was from Wyoming, Pa., and had worked in the coal mines. He is also charged with breaking into the 1928. store of Samuel Aaron, 1504 Poumenth!mnun Lese H. Johnsom, George | Rohwer and Arthur Waters, Joy-ialiv: street, July 27, and Into ine siore of Jacob Bogorad, 1820 Fourteenth street, {| August 1. Manslaughter is charged in‘an indict- I ment reported against James H. Butler, | colored, in connection with the death of Ada Contee October 7 last. He struck the woman with his fist October 6 on the street in front of 82 M street south- | L. west, it is alleged, and she died the next day. The grand jurors ignored a charge of bigamy against Edward De La Prade, who is sald to be in the Navy. The accused married Chrisiine E. De La Prade May ‘5, 1921, and while that mar- riage was still in effect was said to have gone through a marriage cere- mony with Nancy Lee August 9, 1928. Both women, #% is understood. were ready to forgive the sailor. 'The grand jury also declined to in- dict Dorothy Jones, charged with rob-| bery; George P. H. Smith and Willlam A.
