Sinclair was ; acquitted this afternoon by the Police ‘Trial Board of charges of being intoxi- | catzd and conduct unbecoming an offi- | cer st a party at his home, 5218 Illi- | nois mvenue, last Friday night. I The acquittal followed testimony from Sergh. R. B. Carroll, acting lieutenant of the thirteenth precinct, who called at Sinclair’s home to quell a disturb- ) ance, that the policeman “was not in- | toxicated.” | The trial board recessed for lunch and | to deliberate the Sinclair case at abo 12:30 o'clock, returning an hour later | to render the verdict, “not guilty.” | Verdict Saves Job. The verdict saved Sinclair’s job and means a_continuation of his career asi the Traffic Bureau's champion arrester. In one year alone, 1929, he arrested nearly 3.500 persons for traffic ~iola- tions, securing convictions in almost all cases. Under suspension pending trial, Sinclair automatically was re- stored to active duty with the render- ing of the not-guilty verdict. Testimony regarding Sinclair's so- bricty at the party was conflicting, Policeman R. A. Cheney of No. 13, an acting eant at the time, and Rob- bert D. Talbot, who, with Carroll, visited Sinclair's home in answer to a call from the officer to settle an argument between his wife and a woman guest, asserting they “thought” he had been drinking from his actions. Feared His Wife Would Shoot Him. ‘Testimony that Sinclair was “afraid his wife would shoot him for paying ‘too much attention’ to a woman guest at the party” was laid before the Trial Board. Sergt.

Asked by James A.

The acting lieutenant told the board that when he went to Sinclair'’s home Sunday night to suspend him the liceman, champion arrester of the g:nflc Bureau, said: “What is it all about?” Carroll said he told him it was “on account of that the other night.” Sinclair then , according to Carroll, haviig drunk three bottles of home brew, but sald, “I wasn't drunk, was 1?” Might Have Been Sunday.

Efforts to block the construction of the Navy and Marine Memorial on the south end of Columbia Island, on the ground that it will constitute a hazard to airplane operations from Washing- ton-Hoover Airport, are being made by offidials of Federal Aviation Corpora- tion of Delaware, owners of the local airport. President Hoover has been asked to designate an executive official to in- quire into the situation and to deter- mine whether the memorial will be a menace to the life of passengers on transport planes, especially at night. Held Menace to Life. The memorial, it was stated by Col. C. E. Fauntleroy, representing the avia- tion corporation, will rise directly in the line of the north and south run- way of the airport, to a height of 50 feet above the runway level “I am convinced that the memorial, if put up on the spot selected for it, will be a menace to life,” Col. Faunt- leroy saild. “It will rise higher than the pile driver into which the pilot of a tri-motored plane crashed in a fog one night several months ago. “The Mount Vernon Memorial Boule- vard, on which it is desired to locate the one point along the length of this boulevard where it would menace flying operations, If it were moved to another point on Columbja Island, out of the line of the runway, it would be per- fectly safe and satisfactory to us.” Writes to Bingham. Col. Fauntleroy said that he had written to Senator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut, chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee, appointed to handle local airport legislation, pro- testing against the location of the memorial, and that protest also had been made to President Hoover. Lieut. Col. U, 8. Grant, 3d, of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks referred him to the architects in charge of the memorial construction, who assured him it would be impossible to put a beacon on top of the memorial because of its character. He sald he had taken no legal steps. ' QUARTERS OPENED IN CANNING DRIVE | Conservation Demonstration Held in Building at Eleventh and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Disagree With Labor on New Contracts. ‘The Fur Workers’ Union, Local No. 72, announced today that a strike had | been called on two furrier firms on G| street for their failure to renew con- | tracts with union labor. Both of the concerns—Francke, Inc., 8t 1328 G| street, and the Model Fur Shop, at 923 G street—are being picketed. The union is part of the International Fur Workers' Union, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and a member of the Central Labor Union of the District of Columbia. The officers of the Fur Workers' Union charge the shops against which the strike has been called are engaged in an attempt to destroy the standards the workers have been trying to main- tain during the depression and that the acceptance of the agreement by most of the employers dealing with the union indicates the terms and conditions of employment sought are not regarded by |the employers generally as unreason- | le. The “strike” affects about three work- { ers in each shop. At one of the firms it | was explained the contract called for more employes than work at the shop | warranted, while the other employer | | explaingd he had undertaken to do his | own manual work.

With the death of Policeman Ray- mond M. Morrow of the thira precinct declared to have resulted from a plunge into Piney Branch Valley, where his body was found Saturday morning, hnd no evidence developing to indicate foul play, the case appeared today to have been settled. * A coroner’s jury, sitting at the morgue yesterday, completed the inquest begun the previous day, bringing in an open verdict that Morrow lost his life in a fall, the cause of which was unknown. ‘Witnesses testified Morrow had been intoxicated Friday night, and police suc- ceeded in checking on his ‘movements until 2 o'clock t‘h!kfol&)vllng mornlng.i far as is knows sw!le‘:\ndsr?vinx toward his home at 1445 Spring road by Miss Martha Habey. manager of the Playhouse Inn, 1800 block of N street, in whose company he had been for several hours. o Found in Sleeping Position. Steep inclines lead to the place where his body was found, just to the rear of his home, and it was testified by his; widow, Mrs. Harriet L. Morrow, that| the 28-year-old policeman often walked around that section. Inspector Prank S. Burke, chief of the Detective Bureau, today quoted Mrs. Morrow as having told members of the homicide squad the position &wweh the body was found—Ilegs crossed at the ankles and arms folded across the chest—was the one in which her hus- band usually slept. This statement, Inspector Burke pointed out, ‘strengthened the theory Morrow, mortally injured in his fall, walked untfl overcome by weakness and then lay down to rest. ‘The of the coroner’s jury was in line with the results of an autopsy performed by Deputy Coroner A. Ma- gruder MacDonald, which had supported the police theory of accident, though MacDonald declared Morrow could not have fallen over the embankment at the point designated by the police and walked to the spot where his body was found. There are other inclines down which he could have tumbled, however, it was pointed out. Traffic Officer Involved. The testimony of Miss Habey dis- closed that while detectives were seek- ing to trace Morrow’s movements, she teld Traffic Policeman O. Cidwell, a friend, that she had been out with the other officer until less than an hour be- fore he is believed to have met death, but but Cidwell made no report to his superiors of this conversation. As a result, police officials have started an investigation to decide on action to be taken against the officer. Police knew Miss Habey only as “Sugar”—Morrow’s nickname for her— prior to the time she was located after Hainer Hinshaw, vice president of American Airways, had told of her being in his apartment, in the 1100 block of Seventeenth street, with Morrow. i | FUNERAL TO BE TONIGHT Burial to Be Held Tomorrow at Slate Ridge Church in Car- difr, Md.
