THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, SUPPORT IS GV T0 CRAMTON BIL A"dvisory Council Wants Funds for Improvement as ‘Well as for Buying Land. *The Citizens' Advisory Council last | night unanimously approved the Cram- | toh bill calling for the advance of $16,- 000,000 from the Federal Government to the District for purchase of ‘land for parks. The council on motion of Dr. Gtorge C. Havenner, suggested an amendment to the bill to allow the money to become available for the de- velopment as well as the acquisition of the land. According to the bill, the money 15‘ to be advanced and spent by the Dis- | trict as fast as economicajly wise, and is to be returned to the Government without interest in 16 $1,000,000 an- nual installments. Other sections of the bill call for the creation of two park- ways along the Potomac, one from Alexandria to Great Falls along the Virginia shore and one from Fort ‘Washington to Great Falls along the Maryland shore. The District, however, will ‘only be required to pay for park | purchases within its boundaries. The bill was the subject of a favor- able report to the council by William A. Roberts, who declaged it “probably the best” of the park bills presented. Another Group Incorses It. | ‘The bill was also indorsed by a meet- | ing of the city planning committee of the Federation of Citizens’ Associaticns | at the Mayflower Hotel last night. The committee will deliver its favorable re- port at the federation’s meeting Satur- day night in the District Building. The council unanimously adopted a report by F. Tracy Campbell disapprov- | ing the Brookhart bill proposing to limit the working week of mal: em- ployes of transportation, express and mercantile corporations in the District | to six 8-hour days. Mr. CampbeH said that employers and labor alike were opposed to this bill. fe read a letter from Frank Mor- rison, secretary of the American Fed- eration of Labor, to the effect that the A. F. L. was opposed to the fixing of hours or wages for labor othewise than by negotiation between unions and em- ployers. Mr. Campbell said that the result of the passage of the bill, if it were held constitutional, would be to increase the working hours in those in- dustries which now have adopted the 44-hour week as a standard, and to re- duce wages. The law would probably be deemed unconstitutional, he said, as interfering with the individual right of contract. Such a law now applies to female workers in the District, he said, but this was allowed to operate as a health measure only. Amendments Approved. ‘The council unanimously approved three amendments to the public utilities act recommended by Mr. Roberts at the last meeting and laid over for action. ‘They require the reporting by the utility companies of all contracts with Tholding: companies owning. 10 per cent or more of their capital stock, exclusion from o} expenses of all amounts ‘paid- to- such com- panies and the prompt retirement from capital account of any piece of prop- erty or equipment found to be obsolete, inadequate, or unsafe. ‘Thomas E. Lodge and Mr. Campbell were appointed as a_committee to look o1 enargtng for the ‘eiver "Zz“""p':ex‘“” »! or ‘delivery . = ages in suburban areas of Washington. The council adopted a report by Wil- Mam H. Lewis disapproving 2 bill to ex- empt the property of the United States Daughters of 1812 from taxation. RITT Hunt Resigns D. C. Post. Richard C. D.

Her arches pained constantly. These aches worked up, through her limbs, into her body. And made life miserable. She was told she would have to have some shoes made to order. And she learned such shoes would cost her about a week’s salary! Then she heard of Enna Jetticks. She tried one pair. First, she was afraid they were too good- looking to give the needed support. She was also in doubt because they cost less than her regular shoes. But now she wears Enna Jetticks regularly and I‘}_’ is no longer deterred by their smart appearance or i Jow price.

ATLANTA, Ga., January 17.—The | testimony of a third alienist, who de- scribed George R. Harsh as an “inade- quate personality unable to negotiate life’s problems,” was added by the de- fense today at the former university student’s trial for murder to its effort to prove him mentally irresponsible. Dr. Young H. Yarborough, psychia- | hi trist at the Federal penitentiary here, told of examining Harsh after he had slain Willard Smith, drug store mana- ger, during a holdup, and finding that | he had resorted to alcohol to build up | his_courage. | The physician, who was the first wit- | ness at the third day of the trial, said 4 d iy-one lears Wo ofr_tfiq he found Harsh “an inadequate per- sonality; one who cannot negotiate life's problems.” He added that he displayed a queer twist in discussing with him the slaying of Smith “in a most matter-of- fact manner. Wanted to Be “He Man.” “He told me,” the alienist testified, “that he always went into stores first, and in the Smith shooting seemed to want to assume entire responsibility for the case. To use his expression, he wanted to be a ‘he man.’” Harsh is accused of killing another man under similar circumstances and of perpetrating a number of holdups for a “thrill.” Dr. Yarborough said Harsh had learn- ed the effect of alcohol through drink- | ing wine in Indla and other Far East- ern and European countries, and added: , “Harsh told me that he never liked | the taste of alcohol, but that it brought | about a different feeling.” | On cross-examination the witness | said his opinions of Harsh were based | wholly on his examination and were independent of any family history wld{‘ m. The State today had experts in mental | and physical ailments ready to counter- | act defense testimony that Harsh | is unable to choose between right and | Wrong. | Just who the alienists would be, So-| licitor General John A. Boykin declined | to state, but his assistant, E. A. Steph- G?W--MMM--M-M T D. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 17, 1929 ens, said they would have “plenty of testimony.” Both defense and State’s attorneys expressed the opinion that the trial, now in its third day, could not be con- cluded before Saturday. The State has shown intentions of asking for the death penalty. Mentzl Experts on Stand. A long list of experts in mental dis- eases passed through the witness box yesterday after the State abruptly rest- ed its case, on the condition that it could call its experts in the rebuttal. Dr. George R. Carhart of Milwaukee, former home of Marsh, and Dr. Frank Eskridge, Atlanta, both testified that they considered the defendant a psycho- ENTERPRISE SERIAL BUILDING ASSOCIATION 7th St. & La.’Ave. N.W. 61st Issue of Stock Now Open for Subscription Money Loaned to Members on Easy Monthly Payments James E.

Both agreed that Harsh, in their opinion, did not appreciate the enormity of the crime of murdering the drug clerk, Willard Smith, on last October 16. Dr. R. R. Daly, former head of the State Hospital for the Criminal In- sane at Mattewan, N. J., expressed the opinion that Harsh was “led by some one else or by some one’s suggestion.” He said he believed Harsh knew the difference between right and wrong when it was presented to him, but that l:e was unable to choose between the WO, “When I asked him why he shot Smith he answered, ‘Because he shot at me,”” Dr. Daly said. Harsh also told the doctor that he had given the drug clerk “a fair chance.” Forty-three specialized courses are offered by one engineering school.
