VIGATIONAL PLANS - FOR SEADOLS HERE STUDIED BY BOARD Concrete Program Includes Twelve Recommendations Made by Committee. AS WAITER Makes Many Sacrifices to Advance Career as Singer. None of Friends Before Whom He Sang Guessed His Occupation. JOHN B. COLPOYS HEADS GROUP MAKING OUTLINE Co-operation With Employers by Placement Officer Among Work Considered. A concrete program for the improve- ment of Washington vocational educa- tion school system is being studied to- day by members of the Board of Edu- cation following presentation of the plan by John B, Colpoys, chairman of the advisory committee on vocational edu- cation, to the board late yesterday. The program as sent up by the com- mittee after lengthy research on its own part and study of the District of Colum- bia vocational schooling system by the Federal Board for Vocational Education calls for the creation of a new position of “director of vocational education This officer would be assisted by an advisory committee together with trade co-operative committees as recommend- ed in the report made by thg Federal Board and published exclusively in The Star a month ago. Twelve specific recommendations are carried in Mr. Colpoy's committee’s re- port. They follow: Colpoys Recommendations. 1. That the trade schools for girls w in use in the District be retained the present and be improved o eet_existing demands. % 2. That the buildings now housing trade schools for boys in the District be replaced by modern structures svita- bly equipped for trade courses of train- ing, each provided with an assembly hall, gymnasium, library, locker room, shower baths, and grounds for athletic and recreational purposes. 3. That each trade school offer a two- year course of training, such as is re- quired of apprentices, in all trades with respect to which there is a demand for artisans in the District and its environs, and for which not less than six pupils muke lication, and give to each pupil character completing such course a certificate of graduation. 4.

That each trade school, in addi- tion to a two-year course in trade train- ing, shall provide for those who finish the regular curriculum or are artisans, a continuation school where graduates in the trades may receive that such continuation school give in- struction at night or outside of regular employment hours. ‘Will Place Students. 8. That each trade school shall have 8 placement officer or department to canvass at least annually the trades of the community for the purpose of acquiring data as to the number of workmen each trade can profitably as- similate or use, to find positions for graduates and to give helpful sugges- tions to graduates after employment as well as to pupils upon entering school. 9.

That special training schools be provided for backward or mentally de- ficient pupils, who shall be denied ad- mission into the trade school. The report containing the recom- mendations was signed by Mr. Colpoys as chairman, Gen. Anton Stephan Rufus Lusk, Charles H. Le Fevre, Frank J. Coleman, Mrs. Fred T. Dubois, Albert I. Cassell, A. S. Pinkett, James G Yaden and John E. Smith. ANONYMOUS PHONE CALL LEADS TO TWO ARRESTS Men Seized in Basement of Store and Booked at Precinct for In- | vestigation. An anonymous telephone call made by a woman to No. 4 police station early this morning led to the arrest of two men in a basement beneath a Piggly Wiggly store, at 1247 Four-and- a-half street southwest. ‘They were booked for investigation at the fourth precinct, where they gave their names as Raymond L. Howard, 26 years old, of 473 E street southwest and Walter J. Martin, 34, of 68 N street southeast. Policemen Henry E. Heflin, Irving E. ‘Weatherhead and D. R. Housley rushed to the store upon receiving the tele- phone message about 3 o'clock and found Howard and Martin in a portion of the basement used by the tenant of an apartment above the store. Entrance was made to the basement by smashing the glass from a window opening upon an areaway. Fall From Ladder Fatal BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. That genjus knows' no obstacles is proved in the case of Gonzolo de Arango, young Cuban tenor, who sings before his friends of the exclusive diplo- matic circle in the evenings, and like Cinderella, disappears at the stroke of midnight, to.don the uniform of dining room boy at the Hotel Lafayette. Four years ago, young de Arango, | having completed two years of law at the university of Havana, decided to re- lieve his parents of further responsibil- ity and make his own way in America. Scarcely 21, he came to this country with the intention of first learning the language, and later studying vocal music, an ambition greatly encouraged by friends for whom he often had sung at social gatherings. For one year he studied at Leonard | Hall, Leonardtown, Md., and then came to Washington to take up the study of music. The young Cuban made un- told sacrifices to continue his musical | Grua studies, for at about this time the small patrimony which he had brought with him from Cuba had become much re- duced and he found it necessary to find work which would help to pay his veekly board bill. Pouring water for hotel guests and helping to remove dishes may not be work of the most congenial nature for a young man reared in aristocratic circles, but it was honorable. For over a year De Arango reported early in the morning for work in the dining room of the La Fayette and there he remained until late in the afternoon when his hotel duty was finished. Discarding the white uniform of a hotel dining room boy, he would hasten to his vocal lesson at the studio of WASHINGTON, D. C, 'YOUNG CUBAN TENOR WORKS TO STUDY MUSIC GONZOLO DE AKANGC. Mrs. Eva Lovette, who was entirely unaware that her promising young pupil, with the full tenor voice, had just completed pouring water and passing butter and bread to guests at the hotel. Neither did friends, in whose beauti- ful homes he appeared in immaculate evening dress and sang to their delight the songs of Latin America, realize that th: young gentleman, with such charming manners, hid beneath his smile, the fatigue of hours of dreary igery. Not until a few days ago, when a friend of de Arango’s was dining at the Lafayette was the 'secret known. In a few days, he will leave Washington to continue his vocal studies in New York, and never again does he ex- pect to take up “the hotel business.” From his salary as hotel boy, enough has been saved to carry him along until the necessary course of vocal studies will be completed to justify his going on the concert stage. The young waiter-musician will sing a farewell concert at the Washing- ton Club this evening, when it is ex- pected that many of his friends throughout the city will gather to ap- plaude the program of Latin-American music, as well as his courage. JENKINS AT WORK AFTER PLANE CRASH Inventor and Pilot Made Forced Landing Near Mil- “ton, N. C., Yesterday. C. Francis Jenkins, television inventor, was back at work among his scanning | and photoelectric cells today, undmnlirbe(}“lg' the fl(l:t that he companion narrowly escaped with their lives when his “flying tele- vision laboratory” crashed in a treetop ‘Tuesday near Milton, N. C. In to the Department of Commerce yesterday Dr. Jenkins dis- closed that two cylinders of his radial air-cooled engine broke loose while he was flying from Greensboro, N. C., to this city and he was forced to land the “laboratory,” a Stinson four-place cabin monoplane, in rough farming terrain. Neither the inventor nor his co-pilot, William Payne of Arlington County, Va., was injured, and the plane was not| greatly damaged, in the opinion of its owner. Payne was in North Carolina “Just a Tough Break.” “‘Oh, yes; we had a bit of bad luek,” Dr. Jenkins commented today as he in- terrupted his researches in his Connec- ticut avenue laboratory. “But it didn’t amount to much. I hate to have the plane out of service so long, as we need it in our work. You see, I'm using it in radio experiments and this will delay us a while. Hurt? No; neither of us got hurt. It was ‘just a tough break, that's all.” “But you did have to land the ship in a treetop, didn't you?” the inventor was asked, “Certainly; there wasn't anything else to do under the circumstances. The tree just got in our way, so to speak. It was a cedar tree. and when we came to rest with a little jolt the ship’s tail was up in the tree and its nose was against a hillside. I climbed out and cut a hole in the fuselage to see how much we were damaged and was thank- ful to find that all the framework seemed O.K. One wing didn't look so good. however.” Dr. Jenkins was returning here after taking his 87-year-old father, A. M. Jenkins, to Greensboro on a visit. ‘Wife Predicted Accident. “Before I left Washington Mrs. Jen- kins predicted I would have an acci- dent,” the scientist said, with a laugh. “These women seem to have an intui- tion of some sort, don’t they? And do you know, when I called my wife by long distance and told her I had landed she told me I had had an accident and I might as well tell her all about it.” Jenkins said he was following the air mail route and was approaching the town of Milton when he first noticed a “strange noise” in the motor. The in- ventor, who was at the stick, called Payne's attention to the noise and to a spot of oil out front. “We were about 2,000 feet up when the trouble began,” he stated. “The noise increased into a pound and I was startled to see one of the cylinders break loose, so that it was supported only by the manifold. It was being pounded and battered by the piston. “I asked Payne, who had the maps on his lap, where the next emergency land- ing field was. He said there was a small one about 4 miles ahead, just beyond the town of Milton, which I could see. I decided to try and make it by going into a glide to gain momentum. Mean- while the companion cylinder to the one already loose also broke away. The en- gine kept going, but was spiattering oil over the windshield and making a ter- rible racket. Payne Takes Stick. “I saw we could never make the fleld and looked bcneath us. It was farming country, with cleared fields checkered against forests. Payne is a better pilot than I am and I asked him if he wanted to take the stick and put her down in one of cleared spots, He took the stick and I cut off the ignition and turned off the valves. “To our su the engine continued to run with the switch and the gas off. It kept our speed up, and we tried in vain to slow her down. I don't under- stand yet why that engine kept going. “Anyway, Payne sideslipped toward a field and leveled the plane out until Charles Barton, 43 years old, of Pen- yose, Va. died at George.own Univer- sity Hospital early last night as a re- sult of injuries he received in a fall from a ladder at his home about k . welem":mm?l becunta' wfs'i','fd and lockjaw developed. His condition was Te) critical when he reached the we were skimming the ground. We just missed some telegraph wires. But the engine kept going and we were travel- ing so fast it was impossible to land. There was a grove of cedar trees just ahead, and there was nothing to do but try to zoom over them into the n ext | vision Radio Speakers ‘ May Be Placed Under Restriction Commissioners Consider- ing Limiting Use In Public Places. Acting on numerous complaints to the Police Department, the District Commissioners are considering several amendments to the police regulations to further abate the public nuisance of radio loud speakers and other noise provoking devices used for advertising purposes on the streets and at business recommended the issuance of permits Corporation Counsel W. W. Bride! DELAY OF DISTRICT BILL SLOWS POLICE SUMMER CHANGES Congressional Differences Leave Annual Reorgan- ization Uncertain. NEARLY 100 CHANGES IN PERSONNEL NEEDED Action Awaits Civil Service Exams | and Settlement of Avail- able Positions. Delay of Congress in passing the 1931 District appropriation bill is seriously interfering with plans for the annual midyear reorganization of the Police Department, which officials had hoped to carry out at the beginning of the| new fiscal year, July 1. Nearly 100 promotions, transfers in| assignments and other personnel | changes are anticipated, but definite | arrangements cannot be made to put| them into effect because of the uncer- | tain status of the provisions in the appropriation bill for the Police Depart- | ment. The bill is now in conference and some of its points of difference in- volve items of the department. The House, for instance, approved the appointment of 16 additional pri- vates, and the Senate increased the number to 25. The department, there- fore, is handicapped in preparing for the appointment of the new policemen by not knowing the exact number to be allowed and also in determining a | proper ratio of distribution of the ad- ditional men to the precincts. ‘The bill as it went into conference, however, found the House and Senate in agreement on a provision for the creation of 16 additional lieutenancies. This means that 16 sergeants will be promoted and the same number of pri- vates advanced to take their places. Sixteen privates also will advance one step in grade. Thus the status of 48 policemen will be affected by this single item. Another item in the bill in which the | House and Senate are in accord will advance the lieutenant assigned to the Traffic Bureau to the rank of captain. Lieut. B. A. Lamb, who now holds the post, is expected to be the beneficiary of this promotion. Aside from the appointments, pro- motions and other changes to be brought about by provisions in the 1931 appropriation bill, the department is confronted with filling 19 existing va- cancies, for which funds are available. These vacancies have resulted from recent retirements, dismissals and resig- nations, but have not been filled be- cause of the exhaustion of the civil service eligible list. An examination was held by the commission last week to create a new eligible iist from which will be drawn the men to fill the 19 existing va- | cancles as well as the additional men to regulate the use of these devices, ex- cept on days like inaugural events and other large celebrations, when the Police Department might issue blanket per- mits covering specified time limits for public broadcasting. Mr, Bride said it is not advisable to establish a curfew hour designed to curtail noises, saying that belongs to the province of the court. He pro- poses, however, to make it unla for any firms to use the devices “in such manner that the peace and good order of the neighborhood is disturbed.” Restriction of the radio loud speakers would cover also their use on vehicles, and it is also proposed to establish zones of quiet within 250 feet of all Tospitals, FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR WILLIAM L. MacLEAN Funeral services for Willlam Lacy Maclean, 70 years old, artist, sculptor and writer, who died at his home, 614 Lincoln avenue, Takoma Park, Md., yes- terday, were conducted in the W. W. Chambers chapel, 1400 Chapin street, today. Rev. J. Manly Cobb officiated. Interment was in Rock Creek Cemetery. A native of New Philadelphia, Ohio, Mr. Maclean was educated at the Acad- emy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, Pa., ant later was instructor there. He was a pell-’sonnl friend of the late Joseph Pen- nell, His works were exhibited in galleries throughout the country. He was active in local art circles and exhibited with the Landscape Club of Washington, of which he was corresponding secretary. Some years ago, Mr. Maclean moved to Tennessee, where he organized and became president of the Fine Arts So- on the staff of the Lexington, Ky., Herald and wrote articles on art for Lexington, Ky.; Knoxville, Tenn., and Charlotte, N. C., newspapers. He came here from Charlotte. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Anne Fitzhugh Maclean, herself a writer of note; a son, Robert Fitzhugh l\gxaglnn, and a sister, Mrs. Harry Stein- er.

NOLLE PROSSE BASED ON SEARCH OF PRISONER Accused Found Later to Have Had Criminal Record Before Coming Here. Recent action of Assistant United | De States Attorney Murray at Police Court in refusing to prosecute Lloyd Marshall, colored, of High Point, N. C., arrested on a charge of carrying a concealed weapon, drew a fire of criticism today from Capt. F. S. W. Burke of the first police precinct. In an official report to Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, Capt. Burke declared he believed Murray “made a serious mistake” in permitting a “man of criminal tendencies to walk out.” One of Three Arrested. Marshall was one of a trio of col- ored men picked up by Policeman P. E. Ambrose and E. S. Groves of the first precinct in the vicinity of Ninth and E streets about 3:40 o'clock on the morning of May 29. According to the officers the men had been loitering near Ninth and E streets in a manner which aroused their suspicions. A search of Marshall, it was said,, revealed a loaded .32 _caliber gun. Policeman Ambrose subsequently pre- ferred a charge of carrying a concealed weapon against Marshall, Capt. Burke reported, and Assistant United States Attorney Grogan issued an information on this charge, but when the case came up in the United States branch of Po- lice Court, Murray would not permit it to go before Judge McMahon. Capt. Burke sald Murray also marked the in- formation N. P. (nolle prosse) and is- sued a release for Marshall without giv- ing an explanation. Capt. Burke e)l(gresaed the opinion in his report that Murray probably based his action on the fourth amendment to the Constitution, but that he did not believe the court would have held that the search of Marshall, under the cir- cumstances, was “unreasonable.” “The best interests of the community would have been served,” he declared, “by presenting this matter to the court.” Search Is Required. Maj. Pratt agreed with Capt. Burke and pointed out that the police manual requires an officer to search a person placed under arrest and take away all concealed weapons and other danger- ous articles for the protection of the prisoner, as well as the policeman. In the Marshall case, Maj. Pratt ex- plained, the policeman had every reason to search the three men, loitering as they were, suspiciously early in the morning in the business secticn. A check up later revealed, it was said, that all three men had criminal records in the South. Murray declared that he nolle prossed the case because of improper search. He said that the police had exceeded their authority when they stopped Marshall and searched him. WHEAT CONFIRMED AS CHIEF JUSTICE ment Acted Upon Without Debate in Senate. The Senate confirmed Justice Alfred A. Wheat as chief Justice of the Dis- trict Supreme Court (late yesterday, without debate, by unanimous consent. ‘The nomination had been favorably reported from the judiciary committee by Senator Waterman, Republican, of Colorado.

Officials Praise Inmates for Brave Conduct as Building Is Menaced. How every prisoner turned out to help, two to z)erlorm daring rescues, when fire partially destroyed the tem- porary hospital at the District Reform- atory, at Lorton, Va., Tuesday after- noon, was told today by Capt. M. M Barnard, superintendent of penal in- stitutions for the District. Two men were injured in the fire neither seriously, one of them the man who accidentally set the fire, and the other a prisoner who risked his life to go into the burning building and bring ':u':.I another prisoner too ill to leave his A third prisoner braved the flames of the burning building to rescue a fellow prisoner, but neither was injured. The two injured are Frank Spears, a prisoner, who accidentally set fire to the hospital while lighting his pipe, and Dr. Louis W. Hoffman, another pris- oner, who rushed into the burning building, according to Capt. Barnard's report, to rescue a patient. Started in Hospital. Edward M. Taylor, former Washing- ton policeman, prisoner at Lorton, was the other hero of the fire, braving the flames in the wooden building to bring out an ill prisoner, The fire, according to Capt. Barnard, started at about 3:40 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in a lavatory of the hospital Workmen had been disinfecting and de- lousing some frame partitions which had been placed in the building, using inflammable disinfectant and some gasoline, Spears, according to Capt. Bernard, went into the building, lighted his pipe and threw the match on the floor, wgzre it ignited some of the gasoline used in disinfecting. There was a rush of flame which ignited Spears’ clothes. ‘The flames spread rapidly. When an alarm was given, every prisoner in the reformatory, practically all of them serving long terms, turned in to help fight the flames and get out the seven patients who were in the ‘hospital. Saved by Other Prisoners. Spears had rushed from the building, his clothing afire, and the flames had to be beaten out by fellow prisoners, mn was burned about the legs and Five of the patients in the hospital managed to get out without injury, but two were trapped by the flames. When their plight became known, Dr. Hoffman and Taylor rushed into the building. Hoffman, according to Capt. Barnard, went through a solid sheet of flame to rescue one of the patients, receiving painful but not serious burns about his legs and arms. The rescuers brought out the trapped patients and then turned to the rest DR. LOUIS W. HOFFMAN. of the prisoners and fought the flames. Capt. Barnard said that about half of the interior of the hospital was destroyed before the prisoners got the fire out. All of the men, he said, stuck to their posts and forgot their penal servitude in the effort to put out the fire. When the blaze was ex- tinguished, all returned to their proper places. Prisoners Are Praised. In a report submitted, immediately following the fire, to George S. Wilson, director of Public Welfare of the Dis- trict, A. C. Cawse, assistant superin- tendent at Lorton in charge of the dormitories, was high in his praise of the spirit shown by the prisoners. He told Mr. Wilson: “I cannot speak too highly of the way the men jumped right in and put out the fire without thought of personal injury.” ‘To this commendation Capt. Barnard added commendation, affirmed that the report was a true one and added: “No one was to blame.” Capt. Barnard today had high praise for the manner in which Dr. Hoffman and Taylor conducted themselves during the excitement of the fire. “Both those men did fine work, Dr. Hoffman especially, and are a credit to the system that obtains at Lorton, where we have scores of hardened crim- inals and not a single wall about the place,” he declared. Serving Thirty Years. Dr. Hoffman, a physiotherapist prac- ticing here, was sentenced to serve 30 years in the penitentiary in connec- tion with the death in his office of Miss Eleanor Lehman, Washington girl, on March 3, 1928. ‘Taylor is serving a 13-year sentence in the penitentiary for an attempt to kill a filling station proprietor here about eight months ago. In his report to Mr. Wilson, Cawse said damage to the hospital building it was a with temporary wooden structure temporary = wooden partitions. hospital equipment destroyed by the flames. Half of U. S. Wealth Is Owned by Women, Radio Speaker Says ‘Women outnumber men as stockholders of the leading Amer- ican corporations and exceed the number of men reporting incomes above $500,000, Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, Representative from Illinois, showed in picturing fem- inine progress in America in an international broadcast last night. ‘With her talk being carried not only over the National Broadcast- ing Co. network, but over the stations of the British Broadcast- ing Corporagjon as well, Mrs. Mc~ Cormick said the American Tele- phone & Telegraph Co. had 251,- 000 woman stockholders at the end of 1929, compared with 153,- 000 men, while women holders of American Tobacco preferred out- numbered men by 5,000. Similar proportions she said existed in transportation and ofl issues. While 139 women paid income taxes on-more than $500,000, only 123 men did 8o, and above $1,000,- 000 were 44 women and 42 men. Between incomes of $1,000,000 and $1,500,000 were 13 women and 14 men, but between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 were three women d only one man. ‘It is estimated,” she observed, “that the women of the United States own approximately one- half of the wealth of the country.” RITES HELD AT HOME FOR ALEXANDER WOLF Many Organizations With Which Lawyer Was Affiliated Are Rep- resented at Funeral.
