GAPONE SUBALTERN KILLED IN AMBUSH Gangland Guns Fail in At- tempt on 0’Donnell Gang Lieutenant. By the Associated Press. CHIOCAGO, May 13.—Gangland spoke agaln ‘yesterday. One man was slain while another escaped unhurt after three attempts had been made to as- sassinate him. The dead man was Harry Hyter, described by police as a minor figure in the Capone gang. He was found shot to death in a wooded section near suburban Cicero, apparently having been slain elsewhere and then removed by automobile to the spot where the body was found. Chief of the county highway police, William Collins, asked to assign & mo- tive, sald Hyter was killed “for reasons known only to gangsters.” The intended victim, who escaped, ‘was James L. Quigley, reputed to be a member of the South Side beer gang of Edward “Spike” O'Donnell. Thrice shots were fired into his home last night, but no one was hit. The police expressed belief that the shooting may have ‘been an attempt by rivals to indi- cate to the authorities that Quigley was involved in the killing of Edward Fitz- gerald, killed April 21. It was recalled that Quigley was fired on the day Fitz- gerald was buried. Police Lieut. Walter Healy sald Quigley would be held for a show-up of witnesses in the Fitzgerald shooting. There was no apparent connection between the Hyter killing and the at- tempts to assassinate Quigley.

VOTE APPEAL J. Mark Trice Makes Eloguent Address Before Burleith Association. An eloguent appeal for national rep- resentation for the District of Colum- bia was presented to the Burleith Citi- zens' Assoclation last night at Gordon | Junior High School by J. Mark Trice of the Citizens’ Alliance. Declaring that national representa- tion means Tepresentation in Congress, the electoral college and access to Fed- eral Courts, the speaker said, however, that under this program the District of Columbia “does not wish to assume the status of a State” but would re- main under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress. Demands Use of Ballot Box. A representative form of government, Mr. Trice declared, demands the use of the ballot box. He stressed the prin- ciple that this city was suffering under “taxation without representation.” Re- viewing the qualifications of this city for the vote, the speaker pointed out that in population, 486,869, this city is larger than elght States, while more | Fodleral taxes are paid here than in any one of 25 States. This city sent 18,000 | men to the World War, and during the | Civil ‘and_ Spanish-Américan Wars the National Capital showed a like loyalty. | "Declaring there were no valid objec- tions to the ballot for this city, Mr. Trice quoted from the declaration af the bill of rights presented by’ the | colonists ‘to the British Parliament: “That the foundation of English liberty and of all civil government 1s a right in the people to participate in their legis- Iative councils.” Step Behind Alien. Pointing out that the status of the citizen here was one step ahead of the Indian, but behind the alien, Mr. Trace declared that denial of the vote was & “slur upon the American system, and upon the ability of citizens to govern themselves.” At the conclusion of the meeting & number of seals bearing the slogan, “Citizens of Washington, D. C. demand the right to vote” were sold. The secretary of the association was authorized to search the minutes of the association with s view to_discovering Whether the organization in the past had gone on record in favor of national representation. Following a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- Jumbia concerning benefit assessments, WEDNESDAY MAY 13 Squirrel Likes Training HAPPY IN HOME WITH HUMANS. J. J. FISHER ERHAPS one of the most unusual pets in Washington today Buck, the 8-months-old pet of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Fisher of 900 Nineteenth street. Buck is a gray squirrel, a native of the Virginia Woods. He probably was about three weeks old when Mr. Fisher found him, a tiny, scared mite, in the middle of & country road toward sundown of & sweltering August day last year . It was obvious that he had fallen from the nest in a huge oak which spread its gnarled limbs across the road. A close examination disclosed that he was not injured. Taken to Mr. Fisher's home, he crawled around the floor, sniffed, investigated a pair of riding boots, probably searching for something to eat. From there Mr. Fisher picks up the story with a few instructions on the care of motherless squirrels: “And so0 in the days that passed Buck had his daily ration of condensed milk, fed to him with a good old-fashioned Army spoon. Now and then a small bit of celery leaf, or cabbage; sometimes a crushed peanut. Then one day the writer received a surprise. For the first time Buck sat up on his haunches, squirrel-like;: he was growing and had come into his own, no longer a semi- invalid needing careful attention. Very shortly thereafter he began to crack nuts for himself. Peanuts at first became his staple food, but after a search of several AND “BUCK.” | and I often wonder if. in his tiny head. is | the thought does not come to him: ‘What fate has brought me, a free lance of the forest, to an apartment house window sill?’ “Still, we are certain that he is well content’ Shortly after his advent here he transferred his affections to his mistress, and I know he adores her. We hope to have Buck with us many years, which, of course, is doubiful. But upon one thing we have agreed: When the gentlemanly, affectionate, playful little rascal goes back to the perpetually green trees of the great beyond _his sleek body will be preserved for us by the most skillful taxidermist in Washington.” THOMPSON HEADS KNIGHTS TEMPLAR |Elected Grand Commander of the District, to Succeed Joseph H.

By the Associated Press. DAYTON, Ohio, May 13.—Uncle Sam’s aerial army was zooming toward Dayton from all sections of the country today for a defense of Middle Western and Eastern industrial centers against & mythical invasion. Planes from the Pacific Coast already were en route, and those stationed in the East and South were ordered to take wing today. All of them, more than 650 strong, are to be here by Fri- day, when the aviators will inspect maps of the terrain they are to defend. Brig. Gen. Benjamin Foulis, who will direct the maneuvers, and members of the tactical school at Langley Field, Va. arrived yesterda: More than 100 ships from the West Coast resumed their flights today from overnight stopping places. ‘Twenty- eight planes of the 7th Bombardment Group were at Dallas, 10 of the 91st Observation Group were at Kansas City, 5 observation planes were at St. Paul and 65 pursuit ships were at Omaha. After their maneuvers with Fairfield and Wright Fields as bases the forces will demonstrate their ability to beat off imaginary attacks upon Chicago and Detroit. Late next week they will split into two sections to defend the Eastern Coast from Maine to Virginia, converg- ing upon New York City. Including National Guard ships, the Army will have 672 planes in the air. About 200 of these will be used by the supply train and maintenance sections and by the umpires.

This was announced at a dinner of the | Founders' Committee of the National | Church in tre Carlton Hotel last night. Money already in sight includes $425 600 fro man unannounced donor, $100, 000 resulting from the sale of property of the old First Presbyterian Church [to the Government, a $10,000 endow- ment fund, $80,000 derived from the | sale of Peck Chapel to the Government | and $72,000 contributed for memorials {in the new National Presbyterian Church. These items total $687,000, and other funds are to be reported soon, it is indicated. H The oid First Presbyterian Church merged some time ago with the Chuieh of the Covenant, now known as the Covenant-First Presbyterian Church. | The property of this church, represent- i ing the building and site of the Church o fthe Covenant, prior to the merger, | amounting to some $750,000, is to be added to the $7,000,000 raised through 1 the other sources here, toward the erec- | tion of the National Presbyterian Church. Additional contributions are to be made by Presbyterians throughout the | Nation. No definite cost for the Na- | tional church has been decided upon. A site for the edifice is to be selected later. | In & recent month 2,090 American ‘lubn:nobfles were received into Den- mar widening of Reservoir road, the associ- ation adopted a resolution which read: “Inasmuch as the courts have definitely decided that the assessments for bene- | fits to be derived from widening of Reservoir road shall stand, Be it re- solved, That the Burleith Citizens’ Asso- ciation accepts the decision of the court, recommends that citizens pay the as- sessments, but the association goes on record as still holding the belief that the assessments are unjust, inequitable and carelessly made, that citizens should be relieved of the affiction of assess- ments incorrectly and incompetently made and that greater care be exercised by the appointing authorities in se- Jecting competent juries.” Discuss Inequity. J. 8. Gorrell president of the asso- clation reported results of the court procedure and the activities of Attorney A. H. Moran on behalf of the associa- tion and residents. Mr. Moran was voted the “hearty appreciation” of the organization for his service. There was much discus- sion of the inequity of the assess- ments, which run from nothing up to $20, in the community. Mr. Gorrell ex- plained that those who escaped with no assessment would not be assessed now, under the decision of the court. Ralph Campbell of the George Wash- | ington Bicentennial Clean-up Com- mittee commended the community for| its appearance and urged co-operation in the clean-up campaign. ‘The association asked District au- thorities to have two entrances to the ‘Western High School Stadium only, on Reservoir road and on Thirty-ninth street. It was announced that the Burleith Garden Club will hold a flower show May 26 and 27 in the Sunday school room of Mount Tabor Church. The association voted to conduct a| lawn and garden contest during the Summer, with prises for both front and back yards, and also accepted en invi- tation to join & Bicentennial garden contest. ‘The next meeting of the association, in June, will be an entertainment. OBJECTIONS OVERRULED. | | Justice Cox Signs Order in Reservoir Road Verdict. Justice Joseph W. Cox of the District | Supreme Court has signed an order overruling all remaining exceptions to the verdict of the jury valuing the land needed by the District Commissioners for the proposed widening of Reservoir | road. The court was flooded with com- plaints from property owners of the | assessments laid against them by the | jury for their share in the widening of the thoroughfare, including Tesidents of Burleith, more than 50 of whom joined in one protest. The verdict has been confirmed by the court. ‘The proceeding was originally insti- tuted by the District Commissioners April 12, 1927, but came up for hear- ing only a few months ago. No ap- pzal has so far been noted by any of | the objectors. Many of the exceptions were withdrawn before the court heard | arguments on the remaining exceptions. Senator Morrow of New Jersey, who has just returned from a visit abroad, rendered reports to President Hoover and Secretary of State Stimson on Eu- ropean conditions yesterday. After the conference at the White House Senator Morrow said he had called to pay his respects. It was learned, however, at the White House that the Senator had outlined his views concerning conditions in Europe.

Christmas he had grown very but to my dismay the little scamp revealed & hitherto hidden streak of viciousness. He would bite, and, in slang parlance, ‘and ho’ The first impulse after s few days of this was simply to walk to the nearby woods and turn him loose, but then the thought came: Could he, after having become accustomed to being fed regu- “By much, larly, and to romping in a well heated | room, successfully ‘go out on his own’ in December? After serious thought about the matter I thought not. Then 1 decided upon s Tegime of patience and, if possible, training of & sort. ‘Well, it worked. I handled him gently at first, and whenever he ex- hibited a tendency to fasten those needle-like teeth (for all the world like a rat’s) I slapped him, poked my finger in his open mouth or squeezed his front paws till he winced. At any rate this method, crude as it ‘may sound, proved effective. “My work kept me away from home For a while, when I ran up to Washington, I left Buck with Jimmle, a colored lad whom I could trust. Then, shortly be- fore Christmas, I determined _that Buck was going to journey the 140-odd miles on the train with me. For one thing, my wife had never seen him and had often asked me to bring him with me. I had not anticipated much trou- ble with him en route, and to my ‘satis- faction and relief on his initial trip he was quite content to crawl into a big sweater pocket and sleep. This trip has been made a dozen times by Buck now, which approximates something over 3,000 miles he has traveled. Very little trouble has he ever caused | on the train, though for & time he was frightened, especially at the blast of the whistle, or at the swift passing of an- other train, especially at night.
