"AGESS TO FACE SLAYING CHARGE ‘Mans|aughter Warrant Is- sued for Man Hurt in Waterloo Wreck. A manslaughter warrant has been issued for Robert Burgess in connection with the automobile crash on the Washinglon Baltimore Boulevard near ‘Waterloo yesterday, in which two men were_killed and three others, includ- ing Burgess, were injured. Justice of Peace Howard U. Gosnell of Savage, Md., said he had issued the warrant at the request of Corp. C. E. Beasman of the State police, who is investigating the mysterious circum- atances surrounding the accident. Another development in the case was the arrest yesterday afternoon of Thomas Kenny, 26 years old. Kenny was picked up at a store near Golden Ring in Baltimore County and is being held for investigation. Police said he had denied any knowledge or connec- tion with the automobile accident. Kenny was arrested shortly after he had been seen in Baltimore, driving a machine, by Sergt. Ignatius Bennesch of the Eastern district. The sergeant Teported that when he put his foot on the running board to talk to Kenny about the crash, Kenny suddenly drove off, striking a parked machine. Larceny Charge Threatened. Capt. Charles Kahler, commanding the Eastern district, reported that a check on the Washington tags on the machine driven by Kenny showed that it belonged to Curtis. He said a war- rant would be obtained in Ellicott City charging Kenny with the larceny cf the car. Some time after Kenny had struck the parked machine Sergt. Bennesch and Patroiman Michael Noppenberger arrested him at the store near Golden Ring. As he was being placed in a police machine for the trip to the eastern station, the police said, he dropped several keys, which the ser- ! meant picked up. These keys, the police later an- nounced, fittegw the machine which Sergt. Joseph zicka had picked up and brought into the station Wednes- dsy afternoon from Lombard and ghlh street. The sergeant took charge ‘the car, police said, when three men m it jumped out and ran as he ap- proached. Two Seis of Tags Found. In addition to the Washington tags said to be on the car Kenny was driv- ing, the police reported thcy found a et of Maryland tags in the machine. ‘The bodies of Thomas Swope of Balti- more and William Handy, colored, of ‘Washington, who were killed in the crash, have been turned over to Balti- more d Washington undertakers for burial. They were taken to an undertaking establishment in Laurel after the crash. Burgess, John Thomas of Washington and Frederick Juliano of Baltimore ‘were reported to be in a good condition at the St. Agnes’ Hospital. They were taken to the institution by Lloyd Kai- ser, Laurel undertaker, after the crash. According to the police, Burgess, Ju- lJiano and Swope were in a coupe, which met a touring car containing Handy and Thomas head on, while the coupe ‘was running on the wrong side of the road without lghts. Magistrate Gos- nell said he had been informed that the three men in the coupe were chasing ®nother car at the time of the crash. Marcus Wi n colored e, who, pollce sald, had identified Burgess and Jullano as the men who held him up and stole his automobile shortly before the fatal crash, is being held in ts‘e Ellicott City terial wi Corp. Beasman reported that Curtis told h!m he had 20 gallons of liquor in the The magistrate said that Thomas would be held as a witness as socn ®s he was able to leave the hospital. He added that Juliano might also be held for the same purposs. Magistrate Gos- nell is planning to confer with James Clark, State's attorney of Howard Coun- ty, relative to the hold-up angle brought into the case by Curtis’ statement. Corp Beasman reported he found a small-caliber pearl-handled pistol near the scene of the crask. M: trate Gos- 1 nell said that Curtis had identified this ! glsml as the one used when he was 1 “held up. | Asks Ablofite Div_orce. Absolute divorce is asked in a suit | filed by Richard M.

CITIZENS PROTEST SCENIC INJURIES Forest Hills Association Says Connecticut Avenue Beauty Being Marred. Unsightly conditions presented by the establishment of gasoline filling sta- tions and miniature golf courses on Connecticut avenue were scored in ac- tion taken by the Forest Hills Citi- zens' Association at a meeting in the Methodist Home last night. The as- wociation has been endeavoring to have the section beautified, it was said, but with an increasing number of service stations in the valley at Albemarle street the ractiveness of one of the main highways leading into the Na- tional Capital is being marred.

Assistant Engineer Commissio Clean-up work by one person may easily become dirty-up work for another if certain precautions are not followed during the oper- ation. Rubbish that is put out for the collectors to remove should be in containers or securely bundled so that it will not blow about. Combustible and incombustible material should be placed in separate containers, as the trucks must haul it to different locations. Our refuse collectors are strong men but_they are mnot piano movers. Please do not use cans or boxes too heavy for one man to handle. A size not greater than 20 gallons capacity is best. If you will observe these rules, the City Refuse Department will be best able to do its bit to make the city a still better place to live in. Observe Clean-Up week, May 19-24, 1930.
