The prisoner is Frank Prochazka, former garage owner o’ Greater Capitol Heights, who was arrested at his home by Deputy Sheriffs Thomas H. Garrison and L. E. Dutrow. Shot While in Garage, Officer Says. According to Garrison, Thorne, & Marine, was shot in Prochazka’s garage. At Jeast three men were present at the time, the deputy says, and two are being sought. Although he obtained & murder war- rant for Prochazka from Justice of the Peace Thomas D. Griffith yesterday, S LD Judasd he didnov Delieve | 5o qpes i Georps J: Adamy, execiitive the man actually committed the crime. He believes, he said, that the garage owner knows who actually is guilty, and | asserted he secured the murder war- rant “for reasons of my own.” States Attorney Alan Bowie said he had not had time, because of the pres- sure of court business, to investigate the case, but declared no date had been fixed for & hearing om the murder warrant. Prochazka has refused to answer questions or discuss the case in any way, according to Garrison. ‘Woman Heard Shota His wife, interviewed by the deputies mdl'fi is said to have declared she e shots that are believed to have killed Thorne, but did not know whether they were fired in the garage or not. She expressed the belief her husband was home in bed at the time, Garriso n 5 The deputy claims Thorne was as- sociated with a gang of “automobile racketeers” and was killed in a dispute with them. His body was found in a shallow frave nesr Prochazka’s garage last April. Constable Earle Blackwell, who has been conducting an independent in- ‘vestigation of the case, collected evidence indicating Thorne was shot in the garage, he announced.

C, “WORK, NOT CHARITY,"” PLAN WINS RELIEF CONTEST PRIZE ASARESTISMADE e -0 v 3 Gold Medal of D. C. Em- ployment Committee. Urges Schools and Churches Be Opened as Registration Centers for Jobless. A practical plan for enlisting a city- wide co-operative effort to extend “work, not charity,” to the jobless of Washington has won for Howard H Burr, 1522 Allison_street, the contest sponscred by the District of Columbia Committee on Employment for the “Best Plan to Relieve Unemployment.” | Other contestants whose plans received honorable mention from the judges of the contest were announced last week as follows: Raymond R. Cheshire, 1130 Tenth street; E. Schmid, 1401 Twenty- second street southeast; Dr. Harry Moskowitz, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, and | Ernest L. Stewart, 3631 Nichols avenue. In commenting on the decision of secretary of the Committee on Employ- ment, sald: “Mr. Burr's plan doubtless was se- lected by the judges as being the best of those submitted because it sets forth concisely practical methods of unem- ployment relief which the District Em- ployment Committee is able to adopt. Other plans submitted were more elab- orate and technical, but in every in- stance these longer plans were based on theory rather than on a foundation of fact. Will Use Suggestions. “The District Employment Committee intends to make the most of Mr. Burr's helpful suggestions. Mr. Burr will be AN extension telephone in the kitchen will save steps as well as dinners. All modern homes have them. Has yours? They cost only a few cents a day. | HOWARD H.

Delano, former chairman of the District of Columbia Committee on Employment; John Poole, president of | the Washington Community Chest, and | George W. Offutt, jr., president of the | Washington Board of Trade. The relief plan, as offered by Mr. Burr, follows: “1] The unemployed person wants | work, not charity. He wants work for which he is paid a reasonable wage. “It is.a fact that people who earn their own livelihood are dowbly paid— they obtain money or its equivalent and they retain self-respect. Alms- recelving reduces s man's self-respect. Every person has a right to employ- ment, for thus ‘shal he earn bread for himself and his family. “The nt is the time to prepare for the Winter's dificulties.

The newspapers should be ap- prised of such places of registration and requested to print the locations of them in their daily news columns. “Jobless men and women then should be urged to present themselves at the registration center in their neighbor- hood for the purpose of filling out dupli- cate cards, on which should be provided space for name and address, and also a questionnaire, the answers to which would set forth in detail all facts per- taining to the present and probable needs of the person making out the card. The applicant for employment should state what church, fraternal order or other organization he is affili- ated with. “The first of the duplicate cards then should be turned over to the District of | Columbia Committee on Employment | for its permanent files, while the second | should be sent to the church, fraternal order or other organization with which the job seeker is afftliated, accompanied by a letter urging the organization to assist in the task of finding employment for its members. Suggests Types of Jobs. “Suggestions for finding employment or providing relief for persons who regis- ter as indicated above are as follows: “1. The unemployed should be per- mitted to gather some of the surplus fruits and vegetables on farms in near- by Maryland and Virginia. Transporta- | tion to and from the farms whose own- | ers co-operate in this scheme could be | provided by the Employment Commit- tee. Provision also may be made for| canning certain of these fruits and vege- tables for future distribution. “2. Arrangements may be made in many instances for a man and his fam- fly to spend the Winter on a farm, pay- ing for their board and keep by doing the daily chores. “3. Townspeople should be urged to provide part-time employment in their homes or places of business. “4, Cordwood again may be brought from Quantico this year, as well as from Arlington Cemetery and other places, where timber is being felled to make way for roadways and other im- provements. Many men may be em- ployed splitting and sawing and hack- ing this wood, which will provide Win“ | lshed ter fuel for many poor families. Credit by Merchants. “5. Merchants should be asked to contribute credit, instead of or in ad- dition to cash, to any unemployment re- lfef fund which may be created. In this manner they may find it possible to make their ‘contributions more liberal, because, When the credits they have ex- t used, they may liquidate Estab. 1865 = » Linger’s " Authentic Early American Reproductions Including Four-Posters Complete Showing of Simmons Products Reasonably Priced 925 G St. N.W.
