PARENTAGE ISSUE HIT BY COUNSEL Justice Adkins Takes Ques-|. tion of Admission of Conten- tions in Estate Suit. $300,000 GIFT ALSO QUESTIONED AS EVIDENCE Attorneys for Mrs. Henderson Hold Fund Proves Her Interest in Girl's Welfare. Justice Jesse C. Adkins of District Supreme Court today heard arguments of attorneys as to the relevancy of the question of Mrs. Beatrice Henderson Wholean's parentage in connection with the suit which Mrs. Wholean has filed to prevent Mrs. John B. Henderson from giving the Government a home for the Vice President. In replying to the suit of Mrs. ‘Wholean, who is her adopted daughter, Mrs. Henderson claimed that Mrs. ‘Wholean is not the real daughter of the late John B. Henderson ir., although the son of the late Senalor from Mis- souri referred to Mrs. Wholean as “my daughter” in his will, Charges Paremts Unknown. Mrs. alleged that Mrs. ‘Wholean was adopted in infancy by her son and daughter-in-law and that the girl's are unknown. Mrs. also said, in her fliat she had made a gift of to Mrs. Wholean. Prescott Gatley, attorney for Mrs. , contended before Justice Ad- kins that the question of his client's parentage, as well as the matter of the $300,000 gift, had no bearing on Mrs. Wholean's suit to prevent Mrs. Hen- derson from “dissipating” the - son estate. Holds Questions Important. Attorney George E. Edelin, t- ing Mrs. Henderson, argued t the parentage question was one likely to be brought up later in the case and was relevant. He said the fact that Mrs. Henderson m,fi"" Mrs. Wholean $300,000 tended to ow she was looking after the adopted daughter's interests and was not diverting money into improper channels. Justice Adkins said he would take the contentions under advisement. A suit which Mrs. Henderson subse- quently filed to vacate her adoption of Mrs. Wholean in 1924 was continued until March 20.

Eaker flew to Bolling Field from Mitchel Fleld, N. Y., in a two-seater’Army train- ing plane. Up to the time his transcontinental flight came to its abrupt end Capt. Eaker had maintained a pace faster In landing the plane hit the mud and was ly P. Photo. than any other transcontinental flyer. Had he been able to continue on to New York at the same rate he would have clipped more than two hours from the transcontinental speed record of 12 hours and 35 minutes established by Capt. Frank M.

Man Under Observation in Gallinger. Mrs. Dorothy Mabel Skinner, 37, is in & serious condition at Homeopathic Hospital as a result of an attack made upon her last night by her husband, Sidney Allan Skinner, 38, at their home, 4007 Twenty-first street northeast. The man, apparently suffering from a nervous breakdown, stabbed his wife with & steel table knife as she was writing a letter, police were told. Skinner, who was arrested by police of the twelfth precinct following Lhe' alleged attack, collapsed while being | booked at the station house. He was taken to Gallinger Hospital, where he is_under observation. He is charged with assault with a deadly weapon. Police were informed of the affair by neighbors, who heard Mrs. Skinner's screams from her front porch, where she was thrown by her husband follow- ing the attack. He is said to have put her on the porch and locked th> door after cutting her. The couple have three children, a baby boy and two little girls, who were at their home with relatives today. Apparently there were no witnesses to the affray, and neither of the two was in condition to tell of it. Dr. Charles J. Bowne, 2001 Rhode Island avenue northeast, who arrived at the home at about the time police did last night, is treating Mrs. Skinner at the h . It was said this morn- ing that she was improved, though stil suffering from the deep cut on the left side and shock. MANOR PARK GROUP FIGHTS PROJECTS Fear Condemnations Suits Would| Increase Assessments, Told D. C. Heads. Residents of Manor Park aitended a special meeting of the Board of District Commissioners today to protest against condemnation suits instituted by the city heads to widen and str: Blair road and to open Kansas Quackenbos street and other streets in the Manor Park section. The association had gone on record as in favor of some of these projects in 1926, and again in January, 1929. Ernest H. Pullman, a former president of the association and cne of those who protested today, laid the difference in attitude to changed economic condi- tions. Residents of that section have been hard hit in the past by assess- ments, he stated, and they all xnurz: now would be to add further assessments to their burdens. Many of the residents of the section, he said, who are trying to buy their homes, have been let out of their jobs or have had their salaries reduced (his own salary was cut 25 per cent, he said) and the suit. John D. Smoot, chairman of the streets and parks committee of the Manor Park Citizens’ Association, said there was no reason for opening Quackenbos street and Kansas avenue. The two streets end at the B. & O. Railroad tracks and if the property owners want their property up, he declared, they should des te the land, without burdening the community with the cost of condemna. tion proceedings and benefit assess. ments. Re] ntatives of the Big Vein Coal Co., Inc.. who have a community coal yard at Sheridan street and Blair road, also protested against the widening of Blair road, which, according to the plan, would take away the company's offices and scales, Wwithout leaving them space on their property to turn coal trucks around in. The Commissioners took the protests under advisement. SCOUTS TO GET OUTING i Fifty in Party That Will Spend Three Days at Camp Roosevelt.

Forty new agents will be assigned to the local prohibition district July 1 in & resumed campaign against com- mercial dry law violators. In making known his plans, Director of Prohibition Amos W. W. Woodcock explained it will be a most carefully pl campaign and will be prose- cuted more strenuously than any in recent prohibition_history. The local prohibition district to which the 40 new agents will be as- signed includes the District of Colum- bia, Maryland, the Virginias and the Carolinas. 000 Seized in Month. Col. Woodcock also disclosed that enforcement figures during the past month showed more than 4,000 arrests and the seizure of 1,800 stills, 159,000 gallons of illicit liquor and 246,000 gal- lons of beer. “Surely this must put a dent in com- mercial violations,” the prohibition di- rector said. “In one State alone, New York, we seized stills with an aggre gate daily capacity of 90,000 gallon: Four points stood out in the forma- tion of the new enforcement campaign throughout the country: Ope was the issuance of orders to every prohibition administrator and his deputles to submit to Washington plans for dovetailed operations involving the 500 agents.

A third was notification to all admin- istrators to select their quotas of new agents from the list of 3,000 eligible, having them ready for duty by July 1. Plans also were laid for sending them to_school. Lastly, Woodcock made known the creation of an “intelligence division to study ‘enemy’ operations.” “We want to have a definite plan of action in every section before July 1,” he said. “There is no use having in- creased facilities unless there is a cam- paign to emrluy them. And I want some real thinking done upon it. We should get away from the old policy of operating against violators on a day-by- Y basis.” United States Supreme Court; Justices |da; Martin, Robb and Groner of the Disé trict Court of Appeals; Justices Wheat, Bailey, Gordon, Cox, Adkins and Prcx- tor of the District Supreme Court; Judges Aukam and Cayton of the Mu- nicipal Court; Judges Schuldt, Given, McMahon and Hitt of Police Court.

Drilling operations were in full swing around the Wi n Monument to- day in quest of information that will enable the engineers to decide which of two plans now pending before the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission for beautification of the west end of the Mall, with suitable garden treatment, is the more practical. Two ex| drillers are working as many machines and will drill eight holes in all on a wider radius from the Wash- mngton Monument than was done here- tofore. One machine, northward from the Monument, was down to 70 feet this morning, with the pipes bringing up river siit and blue clay. ‘The other, a bit to the westward, had | gone beyond the 50-foot mark this morning and was encountering large layers of gravel, with stones of varying size.

WATCHMAN FALLS IN RIVER, DROWNS Attempt at Resuscitation Fails ter Body Is Found Floating. John Jenkins, 58, of 1602 Montello avenue, a night watchman newly hired by a construction company, fell into the Potomac River near Hoover Field and was drowned last night when he stumbled on the planking of a coffer dam while making his rounds. The body was removed to the District Morgue pending a further investigation by Dr. J. Ramsay Nevitt, who accepted the case, although there was some doubt as to the jurisdiction, due to the fact that the death occurred on the Virginia side of the river. An hour of intensive effort by the fire rescue squad and two injections of adrenalin failed to revive Jenkins, who been in the water for almost 15 minutes when he was located on the dark surface of the river and pulled o Jenkins had been working only few days with a company which is la: ing foundations-along the Potomac for the Mount Vernon Boulevard.
