UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Septem- | ber 11.—A formal protest by the officers | and representatives of the 19 companies | fliated with the Prince Georges ounty Volunteer Fire Association gainst the arrest of one of the fire engine drivers by a county policeman ||nopporlune He prevented the College | Park crew from reaching the scene of tion as promptly as was desirable. He | xmarlhud lhe uplrfl o( the crew and big task that ey them. B ered secitas | ment and friction among the other fire departments and made efficient hand- 1ing of a critical situation most difficult. {There is no genuine reason that Mr. ‘Prlnce could not have at least post- poned the arrest until a time which fould have been less harassing. He not | | only handicapped our work but in | carrying out the arrest, absented himself from a scene of real traffic danger where he could have remained and aided us by keeping the highway open and spectators at a safe distance. “I wish to go further in my denun- ofation of this arrest. I have seen it ex- pressed through the papers that ‘Sheriff | Charles S. Early has received numerous | complaints recently about the rtck]ru‘ manner in which the yolunteer fire en- gines of the county are driven.’ T wish | | to suggest that if such a condition ex- | iste, much more could be accomplished by the sheriff by taking the matter up his father'’s home, at 60 S street, to “give | will be made before the county commis- in # constructive manner with the up the other man” or die. | Dr. Hickling has not as yet set | date for the test, and meanwhile Car- son_was being held at the District Jail | in default of a $10,000 bond set in Police | Court yesterday on . charge of assault with intent to kill Miss Jennings, 25~ gearsold nurse, employed at Sibley Hos- | “pital Rover asked for the mental examina- | tion at request of Carson’s father, ©.

If Dr. Hickling should find it advis- able Carson probably will be sent to Gallinger Hospital for 10 days of men- tal observation, with the possibility that he will be given a sanity hearing to determine if be should be committed to St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Mean- | while, Carson.is confined in the Dis- | trict Jall It is thought.that evidence in the | case will mot be presented to the grand jury until Carson’s mental status has been passed on, Miss Jennings early yesterday N‘an< ferred her belongings from the second floor room of the Carson home. which she rented furnished * last” Feébraty, | and in which she was held prisoner | Tuesday night. to the residence of her | sister, Mre.

He be-| came fond of Miss Jennings and thev‘ ‘were frequently together until several | days ago. ‘Then Miss Jennings became ac- quainted with Joseph Jackson. Tuesday night Carson went out early, his father | eald, and returned, acting as if he| was _intoxicated. ‘When Jackson called for Miss Jen- nings, young Carson went upstairs, pro- | duced the gun and told the girl she| was not going out. He pleaded with her desperately to give up Jackson while a detail of police took up posi- | tions in the street and on the roofs of neighboring houses. | Carson was subdued by & rookie po- liceman, Pvt, Earl Baker of No. 2 pre- | cinet, who climbed acgoss an improvised | bridge into ® second-floor window of the Carson home and took the young man by aurprlse | WILL RAISE TREASURE BUDAPEST (N.AN.A).—They are planning to raise two boats which were sunk 400 years ago in the Danube near Esztergom.

This was decided at a meeting of the advisory board of the association in Trinity Parish Hall last night, when members of the association were vigor- ous in their denunciation of the polige- man's action.

Prince while Boyer was driving the College Park engine to a fire was officially re- ported to the association by Capt. J. F. Headley, captain of the College Park Department. Boyer was booked for reckless driving after an automobile driven by Joseph A. Burnett of Washington; a sergeant in the Marine Corps, was forced off the Defense Highway. A written complaint against 'the policeman’s action was filed with the | Commissioners this week by Walter J. Quick, jr., Ristrict forester, who asked that the policeman be “properly repri- | manded.” Firemen Handicapped. ‘The Commissioners postponed action on Quick’s letter Tuesday, ordering that he, together ‘with Prince and Boyer, appear before them next week, when the whole matter will be aired. Quick’s letter, in part, follows: “Along with other departments, the College Park organization responded to a general alarm, September 5, and under the direction of Forest Warden J. F. Headley, made & commendably quick run via Bladensburg and the Defense High- | way to the scone of the fire, the truck en- fore reaching the fire, the truck en- countered right of way difficulties, and Officer Prince stopped the vehicle and arrested Edward George Boyer for reckless driving. It is not my desire to take up the matter of the charge as I realize that it is & matter for the court to decide. “I do, however, make strenuous ob- jection to Officer Prince's action in handicapping the volunteers and the | work of the Department of Forestry in making an arrest at a time when a real | emergency existed. Mr. George Edward Boyer is a registered forest fire fighter in the College Park crew and as such was operating the fire truck under the direct supervision and by the authority |of Forest Warden J. F. Headley. As you know, the unprecedented drought has made fire conditions most difficult to cope with and all wardens have been requested to do their utmost in render- ing prompt assistance. Mr. Headley and Mr. Boyer were complying with this request in the most gratifying manner. “Mr. Prince’s action was certainly very 2001 16th St. N.W. 3 Rooms, Kitchen and Bath, $90.00 ELECTRIC REFRIGERATION lar Day Bargains No | Khaki Pants, sizes 30 to Men’s 29c Fancy Hose Serpentine Crepe Kimonos, ne: | Velvet, Chenille and Felt Hats Part-Woel Crib Blankets, 36x5 assorted patterns. .
