MACHNSTS UNON SECRETARY SO POLIE HONT AN | Lodge Secretary Critically Injured by Assailant in Front of Home. DAUGHTER, 14, VIEWS WOUNDING OF FATHER Victim Repeats Name Many Times on Way to Hospital—Tells of Dispute Over $5. ‘While James F. Morgan, 51, lay criti cally wounded in Emergency Hospital | today, headquarters detectives and po- lice of all precincts were searching i tensively for a former Navy Yard em- ploye named as the gunman who fired | six shots from a .32-caliber automatic | pistol into his body last night. Morgan, financial secretary of Co- lumbia Lodge, No. 174, Machinists’ Union, was fired upon in front of h!sI home, 3629 Jocelyn street, while hlsl daughter, Eleanor, 14, watched. i Leaving his victim sprawled on the sidewalk, the gunman ran across the street and darted into a patch of woods a short distance away. A few moments later Eleanor's older sister. Alice, 24, peering from a second-story window after hearing the pistol reports, saw an automobile pull away from the curb paralleling the woods. Rushed to Aid Father. Meanwhile, Eleanor had rushed to her father's assistance. As she leaned over his prostrate form she heard him mut- ter, “If I die it's Kaiser's fault.” He mumbled the name over and over again while being taken to the hospital. Examination by physicians revealed that Morgan had been shot twice in the abdomen, once in the neck, once in the left arm, once in the hip and once in the side. After receiving emergency treatment he told police Harrison Kaiser, 42, of | the 1300 block of L street southeast, | shot him as the result of a dispute | over $5 He said that Kaiser, recently dis- charged from the torpedo division of the Mavy Yard, had made several demands | for a rebate from the union. When he refused to give Kaiser the $5 without | the authorization of other union offi- cials, he declared, the discharged em- | ploye threatened him. Police immediately began a citywide hunt for Kaiser, whose description was broadcast to all precincts. Man Eludes Police. A short time later a man of the same general appearance as the fugitive was cornered in an alley near the L street address, but escaped after a chase in which several shots were fired by police. All hospitals.-were ordered to notify police at omee if a man answering Kaiser's description applied for treat- ment for bullet wounds. Morgan, himsell a Navy Yard ma- chinist, had just entered his auto- mobile, preparatory to going to the weekly meeting of his lodge, when he was fired upon. He was sitting in the car, with one of the doors open, waiting for his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Morgan, whom he was going to leave at his mother’s home on his way to the meeting, when the first shot was fired. He leaped into the street and ran around to the other side of the ma- chine, in an effort to put it bstween the gunman and himself. At the same time, a man stepped from the shadows | of a driveway on the other side of the street and rushed toward him, firing as he ran. Daughter Runs to Porch. Hearing the pistol reports, accom- panied by a cry for help, Eleanor ran to the front porch. As she stepped through the door, another shot was fired, and she saw a flash in the dark- ness. The gunman continued firing after his victim had dropped. How many shots he fired in all was a matter of dispute, for estimates of various persons who heard the reports ranged all the way from four—an impossible number, because of Morgan's wounds—to seven. ‘The last shot was fired, Eleanor said, as the gunman ran into the woods. Police continued their watch of Kaiser’'s home today. at the same time Trequesting Maryland and Virginia | authorities to be on the lookcut for him. | Morgan also has a son, Leonard, 22. i SCHOOL APPROACH PLANS ARE CHANGED Terrace Half Way From Sidewalk to Roosevelt High Building Decided On. | Plans for the approach work on Roosevelt High School have been changed, so that instead of a single slope from the sidewalk up to the base- line of the building. a terrace will be introduced halfway between these points. The terrace is being built on the Thirteenth and Upshur street sides of the building. The change makes necessary changes in the lines of all pipes entering the building from these streets, including sewer, water and gas pipes. The original plans, made by Munici- pal Architect Albert L. Harris, were changed at the direction of Engineer Commissioner John C. Gotwals. It was found possible to do the work at a much smaller figure than had been an- ticipated. The original estimate, fur- nished to school authorities by Mr. Harris May 11, was that the work would cost $53,000. Under the contract now being executed by Arthur L. Smith & Co., Washington contractors, however, the whole job will be done for $36,151. This includes the cost of changing the pipes. The contract was entered into September 13, and calls for completion January 1, 1933. Sl fe o f WAREHOUSE COST FIXED to Pay 4 Per Cent Plus Maintenance Expense. Space in the new Federal warehouse, at Eighth and C streets southwest, will cost the District government 4 per cent on the Federal Government's in- vestment, plus the cost of operating, the building, including heat and light, but this maintenance cost is not to ex- ceed 15 cents a square foot. Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, direc- tor of Public Buildings and Public Parks, made this announcement yester- day. The Board of Education of the District is the only municipal agency D. C.

The 4-foot reptile thief, which made the faux pas of swallow- ing a Biloxi, Miss., hen house one night two weeks ago, met its inevitable doom quietly in the snake house at the Na- tional Zoological Park late last night. Today the remains were removed to the National Museum, where an autopsy was performed. The post-mortem ex- amination removed any doubt there might have been that the creature swal- lowed a china “decoy” nest egg, falling a victim to the deception which had fooled many a hen before him.

HUNTING BARRED ALONG HIGHWAY Grant Would Establish Game Preserve on Mount Vernon Route. property along the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway have been banned as an’ impetus to wild life conservation in the District of Columbia and vicinity. In announcing the placing of “No Fishing” signs along the highway, Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, director cf Pub- lic Buildings and Public Parks, said yes- terday he proposes to establish a wild game refuge along the westerly bank of the Potomac River as far as Mount Vernon Officials here, under direction of Frank T. Gartside, chief of the park division, propose to plant wild rice and celery. so that birds will be brought to this locality. This Fall and Winter again, they said, efforts will be made to bring the migrating ducks and geese to the Tidal Basin, by placing food there for them. Louis A. Branchaud, United States game protector, of the Biological Sur- vey, Department of Agriculture, who has charge of the Potomac River dis- trict, said that, for the first time, no bird shooting will be permitted this Fall in the District of Columbia. This is banned under the law signed by Presi- dent Hoover July 14, 1932. The new legislation means there will be no duck blinds allowed on the Po- tomac River or on the Anacostia River, within the District. This area extends to the Virginia side of the Potomac, which is in the District of Columbia, and down to Jones Point, near Alex- andria, Va. and then across to Oxon Creek. This zone includes the greater part of the flats of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, where great numbers of birds come annually. Officials of the Office of Public Build- ings and Public Parks said persons fish- ing on Government property along the Mount Vernon Highway frighten away the birds which they are seeking to en- tice into that area. This is particularly true, they say, at Roaches Run, where the police have been having trouble with people parking in an unauthorized area. Mr. Branchaud said that the most common types of water fowl found in this region include the canvas back duck., mallards, pin tails and black ducks, and the scaup variety. Slate gray herons, known as the Great Blue species, with young that are white in color; the American egret, a white bird with yellow bill; large numbers of kill- deer also inhabit the Potomac shores. S R, Missionary Will Go to Africa. Miss Mary Myrtle Bain, Sparkman, Fla., who is spending several days in Takoma Park, Md., world headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventists, will leave shortly for Bechuanaland, Africa, where she will serve as one of the de- nomination’s medical missionaries. | Fishing and hunting on Government EMPLOYES URGED | “Demagogic Efforts” to Re- duce Scaie at Next Congress, Says Miss McNally. Asserting that ‘“demagogic efforts” | are likely to be made at the forth- coming session of Congress to cut further the “indefensibly low” pay scale of Government workers, Miss Gertrude McNally, secretary-treasurer of the Na- tional Federation of Federal Employes, last night told a meeting of Local No. 2 that the fullest co-operation is nec- essary to balk such a move. Miss McNally spoke at a dinner meet- | ing of leaders of the local at the Y. W. C. A. and outlined the scope of the | legislative program the federation will push in Congress. This. in the main, | is designed to iron out the inequities in the economy act, including martial status and leave restrictions, and com- pulsory retirement. The federation also wants restoration of authority to department heads to fill vacancies; return to the former scale of travel allowances; reductions of charges for quarters, subsistence and laundry, and extension of classification. Miss McNally said the federation is making substantial membership gains, and now has nearly 500 locals at home and abroad. John D. Cloud, national organizer, discussed the formation of the Ameri- can Federation of Government Em- ployes, an American Federation of Labor affiliate in opposition to the Na- tional Federation of Federal Employes. John W. Ginder, president of the District Federation of Federal Employes” Unions, declared there was need for an effective drive to overcome the unfa- vorable publicity which, he said, cer- tain influences are giving to Federal ‘workers. Other speakers included Ullery Biller, national vice president; Miss Belle ‘Trouland, president of the Women's Union of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing; William S. Kinney, in charge of organization work for the District Federation; O. B. Bowman, president of Hospital Guild, Local No. 2, and Henry Nolda, secretary of the locai. The last named urged work to increase the mem- bership, and J. Ernest Brault, chairman of the Membership Committee. who ar- | ranged the dinner, said that the local's membership is growing. Miss Matilda Lindsay, national or- ganizer, and Harlow Bacon were guests at the dinner, at which Miss Lottie L Anderson, vice president of the local and president of the Department of Agriculture branch, presided.

CHURCH LEADER POINTS TO TROUBLOUS TIMES Great Throng Told Nation's Insti- tutions Menaced by Crisis and Spiritual Leadership Necessary. Construction work at Washington Cathedral must continue. There must be no cessation of effort to complete the great Gothic church begun a quarter century ago on Mount St. Alban and now one-third completed. In this manner, Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop of Washington, yester- day summarized the determination of the Cathedral Chapter, Council and {riends to go forward without pause to j the natural conclusion of the vast en- terprise inaugurated by his predecessors, Right Rev. Henry Yates Satterlee and Right Rev. Alfred Harding. Before a congregation’ of friends of the Cathedral, which filled the Great Choir from wall to wall, Bishop Free- man analyzed the problems of the times and affirmed his conviction that if the Cathedral were needed in 1907, it is doubly needed in 1932. His address came as the culmination of a day of commemoration and thanks- giving, beginning at 7:30 o'clock in the morning with a communion service in the Bethlehem Chapel, where Bishop 1 Satterlee sleeps in the heart of the tem- {ple he dreamed. At 11 o'clock there | had been a special service at the Church {of the Epiphany in celebration of the ninth anniversary of Bishop Freeman's | consecration. At midday a group of Cathedral leaders and co-workers had met at luncheon at Beauvoir, the beau- tiful mansion house which Rev. Dr. Walden Myer bequeathed to the Cathe- dral. Service Brings Crowds. The afternoon service at 4 o'clock brought crowds to the Cathedral’s doors. People who had attended the laying of the foundation stone and had been ac- tively interested in the work ever since came with steps made slow with the toll of years. People who never before had been beneath a cathedral roof also were | present. They came by airplane, auto- mobile, trolley car and afoot, climbing the stairs to the makeshift entrance of the unfinished south transept and passing quietly into the high white sanctuary of the great choir. It was a Cathedral family congrega- tion, an assembling of men and women to whom the nascent “house of prayer for all people” is a spiritual home, to- ward the erection of which they have toiled and sacrificed. In the proces- sion there were no new faces. The Cathedral choir and the Cathedral clergy followed the gold cross presented by the Emperor of Abyssinia up through the north transept and east to the chancel, as they have followed it on many other occisions since the great | choir was opened for public worship {last Ascension day. The bishop marched at the end, the shepherd of his flock. Anthems sung at the foundation stone service 25 years back rose to the vaulting under the unseen direction of | Edgar Priest, at that time as now choir- master and organist of the Cathedral. Then the bishop spoke. Stresses Present Need. He reviewed the spiritual ideals of | ithe Cathedral founders and recalled i how eminent men in the state, in the arts and sciences. in education and in business have aided in the work. Pres- icent McKinley, he said, had called the Cathedral enterprise “a new sowing for jtne Master and for men.” Bishop Sat- terlee’s conception of it, he said, had been that of “the Word made flesh.” It had been intended to serve as witness for Christ in the Nation's Cap- ital” and a pledge of Christian fellow- | ship, faith and trust. “Men and women | throughout the land,” he declared, “have come to realize that in no center on this continent, other than here in the Capital, is a great affirmation of spiritual ideals so essential and indis- pensable. Beyond its esthetic values they have seen in this temple that which is fundamental to our security, our peace and our permanence” as a nation. He added: “If at its inception 25 years ago, when the foundation stone was 'laid, it assumed in the imagination of its founders a place of importance, then we may venture to say, with deep- ened assurance, that in this present storm-tossed 2ge it has & still larger place, and its warrant for being is au- thenticated and confirmed by the tragic geeds of these momentous and critical lays.” Christian faith and Christian prac- tice, he declared, are being tested today as in no other period. Institutions are under fire. New conditions have arisen and “to meet these new conditions our most venerable institutions must be prepared, not only to maintain their creeds and systems, but to maintain them by rendering them more appealing |and more satisfying.” | Some ancient molds of thought must ibe recast, he agreed, but “‘we are not of those who believe that the Christian religion in its simplicity and beauty,| nor, indeed, in its adaptability to human needs, has lost aught of its ap- peal As a matter of fact, there is a hunger of the soul evident today, an unsatisfied hunger such as we have aob before experienced in our genera- Clings to Tradition. The bishop continued: “This Cathe- dral Church has not sought by the employment of any artifice or an un- due emphasis upon any novel practice to attract those who are drawn by the bizarre and the spectacular. To adhere to catholic tradition and to maintain a reverent worship has been its one supreme aim. It has neither cultivated nor been influenced by a school or party, it has yielded to innovations. * * * Every office, every service in this place must be so or- dered as to evoke and call into action those deep religious feelings, emotions, if you , that find their expression in “every habit and practice of life. To send men and women forth from this place restored, renewed in 0 mind and spirit, this is the Cathedral’s purpose and its only purpose.” Concerning the present status of the Cathedral enterprise, the Bishop sol- emnly declared: “In the face of the seemingly insuperable difficulties .that now hinder and halt our construction work, we dare to carry on. The very exigencies of this hour of trial, the emptiness of life without God, the pov- erty of riches, the uncertainty and fic- titiousness of all human values, the interrupted and disrupted progress of our cherished enterprises, the dissipated hopes and the world-wide cry of disillu- sioned men and women, give to our task a new significance and & new meaning. “This anniversary will be little more than a period of happy reminiscence, of selfish felicitation, unless it moves us | assault that is made upon it | Star, was a speaker. to freshened endeavor, deepened con- secration and a more selfless service * * « We burnish our weapons to meet any attack upon the citadel of Christian faith and practice. * * * Now as never before in our generation we are compelled to maintain the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ against every It is to such service that we call you today. ‘For God and country, is our watch- word. In the name of our Sovereign Master, ‘Let us rise up and build.” Woman, 100, Is Present. As the Bishop concluded Autumn sunshine filled the clerestory windows of the sanctuary. The procession passed as it had come. The Great Choir was quiet again. The congregation de- parted. Down the South Transept steps walked Mrs. Louis C. Brastow, on the arm of her grandson.

The Cathe- dral's preaching, music, ministry to pil- grims and strangers, ministry of the printed word through its publications, the service of the library, the care of | the grounds, all the necessary staff| activities in the office—all of these must not be allowed to slacken one bit at a time when that for which the Cathedral stands is supremely needed in the life of the people.” MAN, 72, TO RETURN HERE TO FACE CHECK CHARGE Suspect Waives Removal Proceed- ings at New York After Be- ing Identified by Cashier.

Half of the cost will be borne by the Greyhound lines and the other half will be paid for out of District tax funds. This followed a suggestion yesterday by the Public Utilities Commission that if the District Commissioners would order the curb cut back, the Utilities Commission would grant the petition of the Greyhound Lines for establish- ment of the terminal. The decision came after a hearing of the case at the regular board session this morning. The matter now goes back to the Utilities Commission, which is expected to issue its order granting the bus line permission to set up its terminal The cost of setting the curb back is estimetcd at approximately $1,500. so that the cost to the taxpayers will be | abcut $750. SEEK MISSING BOY Police today were continuing a search for Albert Sflvester, 14, reported miss- ing from his home in the 1400 block of North Capitol street since Tuesday.

King, 5-year-old canine aristocrat, was restored today to his mistress, Mrs. Robert P.

He explained br recognized the pet from newspaper photographs and took him away from some small boys who were playing with him in an alley near | the rectory. Mrs. Lamont had intrusted King to a small boy, about 8 or 9, who asked ‘o be allowed to keep him while she com- pleted her shopping in the department store. She returned shortly later to find both the dog and his new cus- todian missing. Police were notified and given a description of dog and boy, who was wearing horn-rimmed glasses, Mrs. Lamont said, as was the boy found with the pet this morning.
