ROCKVILLE, Md., March 18.—Em- bezzlement charges lodged against two public officials are scheduled to be aired during the March term of the Cir- cult Court for Montgomery County, which opens here Monday. Trial dates are slated to be set in the cases of Berry E. Clark, former clerk to the Board of County Commissoners; Bryan Davis, former clerk and treasurer for the town of Takoma Park when the court’s criminal docket is read on Mach 30. Davis, who held the position of clerk and treasurer at Takoma Park for six years, was dismissed by the Town Coun- cil on September 11 with the announce- ment that an audit had revealed a shortage of $12, 809.66 in his accounts. His arrest a few days later was fol- lowed by the return of an indictment against Davis by the grand jury during the November term of court. Clark has been tried on two occa- sions since his dismissal by the Board of Commissioners, which occurred one year ago after an audit of his ac- counts allegedly disclosed a shortage of approximately $50,000 in funds en- trusted to his care, but both trials :A;‘cdl.:a with the juries hopelessly dead- ‘The first trial last June was con- cluded with the jury to be standing 11to 1 for acquittal when it was dismissed after 15 hours’ delibera- tion, while the second trial, held two months ago, closed with the jury re- ported holding out 9 to 3 for conviction after being out for 18 hours and 50 minutes. Although 97 indictments were re- turned aginst the veteran clerk, only one | pi indictment, which accuses Clark ofem- bezzlement of $426, has been used in 3—PART ONE: MRS. JULIETTE LOW, FOUNDER OF GIRL SCOUTS, IS HONORED Organization’s Twenty-Firsi Birthday Celebrated Through- out U. S. Began First Patrol in Savan- nah, Ga., Against Friends’ Advice. In towns and cities, all over the United States Girl Scouts are celebrat- ing the coming of age of their or- ganization; and at each of their twenty-first birthday parties the name of the late Mrs. Jullette Low of Savan- nah, Ga., is mentioned with affection and appreciation. Mrs. Low founded the Girl Scouts. She was t middle life when she started thé work in March, 1912. She was in frail health. She was deaf. She did not have much money. When she spoke of her plans to friends, they frankly told her they did not. see how she could succeed. But she was immune to discouraging suggestions. She had been in England, had met Sir Robert Baden-Powell there. had seen with her own eyes what scouting was doing for British boys and girls, and she was determined to try out the idea in America. She began in a small way. There were only 11 girls in the first trnog—the ‘White Rose pa- trol of Savannah. Her method was simple. Long after- ‘ward, when some one congratulated her upon the great work she had done for the girls of the United States, she said: “The angel Gabriel himself could not make them take what they didn't want.” By the exercise of her genius for thinking as a girl thinks and find- ing happiness in the constructive woys a normal girl finds it, she “made” her small followers want what she had to give. Scouting never was a labor; it began as an honest kind of fun. and that was one of the reasons why it rospered. Very little bas been written about Mrs. Low. Her nephew prepared a brief warns, eschew beer. | The temperance union expressed the belief today that the beer bill was un- constitutional, that President Rooseyelt | preceding trials. | __State's Attorney Stedman A.

By & Btaff Correspondent of The Star. ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT z HOUSE, Va., March 18.—Having been acquitted at his first trial former County Treasurer E. Wade Ball will again face® the court next Tuesday on an indicte- ment charging the alleged misuse of county funds totaling more than a half- million dollars. His first trial involyed State funds coming into his custody while he was treasurer of the county. - In anticipation of a difficult time in* selecting & jury for the trial, Judge. ‘Walter T. McCarthy has ordered a ven- ire of 96 men and these' have already been summoned to appear in court omn Tuesday morning. 1t is expected that the examination of prospective jurors will occupy at least all of the first day.” A motion by Commonwealth's Attorney Lawrence W. Douglas that a jury be summoned from some other county was” * | denied by Judge McCarthy at the Dé- cember term of court. It has been expected that the sec- ond trial would take place during the last term of court but it was postponed, because Assistant Attorney General Col+’ lins Denny, jr., was unable to be pres- ent owing to the serious illness of his. wife. Mrs. Denny has now recovered, and the assistant attorney general has arrived here to assist Douglas when the case is opened. 4 ‘The indictment under which Ball wil go to trial this time charges him with! failing to turn over to the then clerk of the court, William H. Duncan, the more than half a million dollars which, the State auditors claim should have: been in the county treasury to the cred- |1t of the county. Other indictments' | pending against Ball involve funds in- | cluded in the total alleged shortage. He | Wikl be represented by his brother, form- | er State Senator Frank L. Ball, and | Capt.
