Alexander Winocour, 36 years old, op- | erator of the Salon La Mode Moderne, fashionable decorating establishment, was today at liberty under $2,500 bond following his arrest late yesterday on a warrant sworn to by a 17-year-old girl who said she is a model. She charges simple assault. The man was arrested at his office-studio at 1343 Connecticut avenue by Headquarters detective Howard E. Ogle. According to police, the gir], Miss Grete Lorleberg of 2016 Franklin street mortheast, accuses Winocour of assault- inr her on June 5 at the Connecticut avenue studio when she answered his advertisement for a model. She said she was asked to submit to an examina- tion, and when she retired to an ad- joining room, Winocour assaulted her by attempting to force her to disrobe. The artist-decorator denies the girl's accusations and said “it is all a frame- up and a blackmail plot.” Winocour told police the girl, through an attorney, communicated with him shortly after the alleged incident and attempted to settle the matter out of court for a ‘cash settlement. He will be given a hearing in Police Court this morning. OFFICIALS HOLD YOUTH AS THEFT SUSPECT Admits Entering G Street Cafeteria and Taking Perfume and Jewelry, Police Say. A 17-year-old youth, who said he lives in Arlington, Va., is being held at the third precinct on a charge of “in- vestigation” after police said they caught him leaping out of a window in the Cleves Cafeteria at 1817 G street early this morning.

Your working people live much better than do the well-to-do class abroad.” Expresses Wonder of America. Mrs. Thompson and her daughter ex- pressed their wonder and delight in the vast panorama of America, unfolded to them by a trip across Canada, another down the West Coast to San Francisco and a third eastward over the United States. | The skyscrapers and great industrial plants impressed the visitors with wonder, they said, but once in Wash- ington they felt they were on familiar | ground, through an acquaintance from childhood with Mount Vernon and | other historic places here. | ‘The Englishwomen came to America in April. They plan to sail for Liver- pool August 17, after several days in nearby Virginia, where Mrs. Thompson hopes to learn something of an early | member of her family who came to seek his fortune in the Americas. with brief visits in Philadelphia and New York. The money with which Mrs. Thomp- son has furthered the fortunes of her proteges, and much of which has been repaid by them, was left her about 45| year ago on the death of her brother, Sydney Gilchrist Thompson, who had made the sum through a commercial invention and requested it be spent for philanthropy.

The girl was found lying on the floor of the office tightly bound and gagged with towels by Edwin W. Jones, 1919 Otis street northeast, neighboring office, who heard her strug- ling to release herself. Jones loosened the gag on the girl's mouth and, listening to part of hej story, dashed down the stairs in hope of apprehending the assailant. His ef- forts were futile, however, police stating they believed the Intruder escaped through a penthouse onto the Toof. Miss Batcheller said she was standing ing near a window looking out into the street when strong arms encircled her throat and a ‘piece of toweling was rudely strapped across her mouth. The man then bound her feet together with cords and shoved her roughly to the floor, she said. The girl told police the man, after rifling drawers in the office desks, sud- denly stopped and exclaimed, “My God! I'm in the wrong office,” and with that made a_hasty_exit. Miss Batcheller, after giving police a meager description of her assailant, was | taken home. She was unable to say whether the intruder was colored or white, but indicated he was large and powerful, Miss Batcheller is secretary to Addi- son Holmes, local manager of the ele- vator concern. She returned to work this morning, and other than feeling a bit uncomfortable from her bruises is none the worse for her experience. Two robberies have occurred in the Chandler Building in the past two weeks. About $1,000 was taken from the Fletcher company, with which Jones is employed, and $5 was stolen from Miss Batcheller’s purse a short time later. U. S. CONSUL DIES. |C. R.

A. A. PRESENTED | William McCarthy Receives $100; Offered for Having Brought Conviction of Driver. | William McCarthy, 4907 Ninth street, was awarded $100 last night by the Dis- | trict division of the American Automo- bile Association for having brought about the arrest and conviction of a hit-and-run driver. The presentation was made by Inspector E. W. Brown of the police Traffic Bureau. McCarthy saw a laundry truck strike a man at Thirteenth and W streets on September 3, 1928. Seeing that-the car failed to stop, he gave chase in his machine and overtook the man, got the license number of the truck, the name of the laundry and a general descrip- tion of the man. Then he called a policeman, and they went to the laun- dry and arrested him. The man was tried and found guilty of leaving after an accident and sentenced to a prison term of 120 days and a fine of $100, The American Automobile Associa- tion has a standing reward of $100 to any one who brings about the arrest and conviction of a person participat- ing in a hit-and-run case where a person is killed or injured. Inspector Brown, in a brief talk before the pres- entation, said that this reward helped materially to reduce the number of such cases and aided the police greatly in arresting hit-and-run drivers by keeping the ‘publlc keenly alert and on the lookout for them.

The present form of rotary left-hand | turn in use at controlled street inler—i sections versus the Hoover turn was de- | bated by M. O. Eldridge, assistant traf- | fic director of the District, and Howard | M. Starling, manager of the safety de- | partment of the American Automobile | Association, at a luncheon of the| Kiwanis Club in the Botel Washington | yesterday. Championing the rotary turn, Mr.| Eldridge, the first speaker, declared it is safer than the Hoover turn because it leaves a clear lane for traffic travel- ling on the green lights. away with the danger of motorists | travelling with the green lights colliding | with persons swinging around in front of them. 1t thus does Deaths Are Cited. | Mr. Eldridge sald that 10 persons | have been killed at intersections since January 1. Only two of the deaths| this year, he pointed out, have resulted from accidents at controlled intersec- | tions, with the present rotary turn.| One of these was at a section controlled by @ policeman and the other at one controlled by lights. Mr. Starling in urging the Hoover turn, said that it has been proved con- clusively here that motorists do not know what to expect when approach- | ing a street intersection. | Results of Survey. A survey of over 48 hours made by the A. A. A., he said, showed that only | 8915 per cent made the rotary left turn | when a policeman was on duty, and that 40 per cent made it where the | intersections were not controlled by policemen or lights. In pleading for uniformity, or for left turns to be made here in the same manner they are made in the majority of the cities, Mr. Starling said that Cleveland and Washington are the only cities making the rotary left turn,| which he classed “antiquated.” Each speaker indicated that the de- | partment he represented would fight | for the form of turn each upheld.
