MOTHERWHOSTOLE FOR BABY I ALED Young Woman Is Sentenced | to 90-Day Term Despite Clemency Plea. ‘With the plea that she needed them for her baby, Mrs. Helen Burch Mar- cey, 23, pleaded guilty to a charge of larcen; today. three baby dr from one store, and a scarf and dress from another. After investigating the home of the girl mother in Lyonhurst, Va., Detective Sergt. C. J. P. Weber of the Christmas shoplifting squad, who made the arrest yesterday, told Judge Ralph Given that he would recommend clemency. Judge Given, however, sentenced the woman to 90 days in jail with the provision that the sentence might be changed if mer- ited by the investigation of the proba- tion officer. Four other persons, including another | ‘woman, were arrested yesterday by the shoplifting squad. At one store two clerks were arrested, one by Sergt. Weber in charge of the squad, and thé other by Policeman F. J. Hopsidor of the fourth precinct. ‘Weber also arrested a second man, who is said to have been working with the clerk. The first two taken into custody were Edward Frank Shafer, 19 vears old, of the first block Sixth strect southeast. He is alleged to have becn employed as a clerk and to have stolen a number of articles and turned them over to Francis McNey, 18 years old, of Hayttsville. Mc- Ney was arretsed as he was leaving the store. Hospidor arrested George Margolies, 19 years old, of the 4000 block Ar- kansas avenue. Margolies is charged with having taken $12 in cash and clothing worth $20 from the store in which he was employed. He explained that he came here recently from New York City and took the money and merchandise because he knew that he would be out of employment as soon as the Christmas shopping season ended. Miss Rose Yoers, 48 years old, of the 700 block Sikth street, was the other woman, LABOR INJUNCTION BILL DRAWS FIRE Opposition to Amended Shipstead Measure Voiced by Manufac- turers to Semate Group. By the Associated Press. Opposition to the amended Shipstead bill to limit use of injunctions in labor disputes was voiced today at a Senate Jjudiciary sub-committee hearing by representatives of the National Manu- facturers’ Association and other organ- izations. ‘Walter G. Merritt, representing also ‘the Anthracite Operators’ Conference, said the bill would provide fof issu- ance of injunctions only in the event of fraud and violence and “serves to place labor in a special class for spe- cial treatment.” Senator Blaine, Republican, Wiscon- sin, noted that the purpose of the bill | was to withdraw cases from equity courts where the complainant has an adequate remedy at law, and Merritt called the bill unconstitutional. He cited a Supreme Court decision hold- ing the Arizona anti-injunction bill valid as an attempt to strip equity far more aggravated” than the acts pro- hibited in the Arizona case, he said, adding: - “The fact that fiwe blll-is approved by union leaders is evidence that it will be used by them as a juggernaut over non-unionists.” SOUGHT BY JUSTICE HITZ Precise information as to the physical condition of Albert B. Fall, former Sec- retary of the Interior, will be sought by Justice William Hitz of the District of Columbia Supreme’ Court before acting on the motion of Atlee Pomerene, spe- cial counsel in the oil prosecutions, and United States Attorn¢y Leo A. Rover to set for trial January 14 the bribery case against the former Secretary, in which he is charged with receiving $100,000 from Edward L. Doheny, oil magnate of Los Angeles. Justice Hitz probably will ask a ‘Washington physician to go to Fall's home and make an independent exam- ination of his condition and report to the court. Attorney Willlam E. Leahy, local counsel for Fall, presented to Justice Hitz a telegram from Mé#rk B. ‘Thompson, Fall’s counsel at El Paso, ‘Tex., in which it was set forth that Fall's physician thinks he could not safely come to Washington to face the xigor of January weather. Government physicians, it is understood, will also visit Fall. ‘The motion, scheduled for hearing today. was postponed_indefinitely. ROUND TRIP .
