COMPANY AUTHORITY ASKED 10 SPEND SURPLUS McLeod Asks Early Approval of Bill to Empower Com- missioners. North 4423 Representative McLeod, Republican, of Michigan announced today he would seek early approval by the House Dis- trict Committee of his bill to give the District Commissioners blanket au- thority to expend any surplus tax rev- enues that might accumulate in the Federal Treasury to the credit of the District. The measure, introduced yesterday, was referred to the District Ccmmittee. McLeod' said he would confer with Chairman Norton tomorrow and urge her to call a special meeting of the committee to report out the bill. McLeod is anxious to get the meas- ure on the House calendar because he belicves its emergency character will Tesult in early action. District officials have told him a surplus of more than $2,000,000 will accumulate in the coming fiscal year, which, under the terms of his bill, could be used for emergency unemploy- ment relief, and needed public pro- Jects such a schools, bridges and street construction work which would pro- vide employment for hundreds of men. “Instead of impounding District tax: payers’ money in the Federal Treasury, McLeod said, “Cangress should au- thorize the Commissioners to spend it. “By making available, as needed, such surplus funds for necessary pub- lic improvements not authorized in the appropriation bills, an important step will be taken toward attainment of maximum efficiency in the government of the District.” INUTE YSTERY an You, Solveylft F o Fordney is professcr of criminology famous university.

Weatherby, three well known business men, were on a hunt- ing trip in an isolated part of the country.

Smith claimed he 4 started alone for 94 the lodge , where they were staying around 3 p.m., and about a hundred yards from it stum- bled across the dead body of Rolp! lying a few yards off the path—a knife in his heart! He further claims that he partly pulled the knife from the wound before realizing he shouldn't disturb the Weatherby confirms Smith's state- ment about the time the three men separated, and declares that as he ap- proached the lodge about 4 o'clock, by a different route, he saw Smith bending over Rolph's body. He told me that Rolph had several times recently threat- ened to commit suicide. “The coroner’s physician,” continued the sheriff, “says the man probably died between 1 and 2 o'clock.” Do you feel confident, from your in- vestigations, that Rolph was killed where his body was found?" interrupted Fordney. “All indications point that way.” No fingerprints on the knife, I sup- pose?” Oh, yes—Smith's were. No others.” “What about the alibis of Smith and Weatherby?” inquired the professor, after a pause. “Impossible to check them,” reply. “H'm-m-m.

CAR KILLS CHILD DARTING N FRONT Oxon Hill Tragedy Declared Accident—Nine Hurt in Other Crashes. Forgetting traffic in her excitement upon finding a letter in the family mail box, Doris Shegogue, 6 years old, of Oxon Hill, Md., was almost instantly killed yesterday afternoon when she darted in front of an automobile. Other traffic accidents on nearby Maryland and Virginia roads injured nine persons. Dorls, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Shegogue was returning to her home from the Oxon Hill School with several classmates when, after opening the msil box and finding a letter. she suddenly started running home. Declared Accidental. According to police, she darted in front of a car driven by Miss Carol Joire of Racine, Wis, who had been visiting relatives at Indian. Head, Md. Following an investigation by State Policeman J. E. Taylor, the authorities {held the accident to be unavoidable | and deemed an inquest unnecessary. Miss Joire was arrested, however, on a charge of having no Maryland opera- tor’s permit. E. W. Cowan of Oxon Hill and H. L. Antles of Washington, rushed Doris to the office of Dr. R. H. Hollingsworth, 2015 Nichols avenue southeast, where she died within a few minutes. Death was attributed to a fractured skull and internal injuries. An automobile accident near Quan- tico last night sent five persons to Emergency Hospital here and resulted in a search for the driver of an auto- mobile said to have struck the machine in_which the five people were riding. The most seriously injured was Mrs. She suffered a possible fracture of the skull, jaw and right arm. Her two children, Marjorie Ellen, 3, and John Barnard, 6, suffered numerous cuts and bruises, and Mr. and Mrs. k Me- Lain, 3706 Thirty-fifth street north- east, also passengers in the car, were cut about the head and body. Their injuries were not considered serious. Relatives of the Umhau family were informed this morning that a sentry at Quantico had gotten. the license number of what he believes to be the car that struck the Umhau machine and that an early arrest is expected. Hurt in Takoma Park. Mrs. Keorge C. Wilmeth of 3547 Eleventh street, Washington, D. C., and Billy Guiffre, 6 years old, were mmnd yesterday afternoon when an automobile in which they were riding with Mrs. Wilmeth's husband was in collision with another machine on Philadelphia avenue in Takoma Park, Md. Mrs. Wilmeth was treated at the office of a nearby physician for cuts about the head and bruises of the right arm, while the boy suffered lacerations of the left knee and was given first-aid treatment also. Wilmeth and Earl Boone, colored, 26, of 1663 New Jersey avenue, Washington, who police say was the driver of the second ‘car, were arrested for reckless driving and will be tried in'County Police Court at Rockville June 8. Wil- meth was released on his personal bond, while bond of $200 was posted for Boone. Two youths, one a student at George Mason High School in Alexandria, were injured yesterday afternoon when their motor cycle and sidecar left Mount Ver- non avenue on Arlington Ridge in Ar- lington County and overturned. Samuel Butler, 18, of 319 East Belle- fonte avenue, who was riding in the sidecar, sui tained a complex fracture of the right'knee, a broken finger and face lacerations. He attends the school. Kenneth Spiller, 19, of 122 Uhler ave- nue, driver of the machine, received a wrenched back and bruises. Both were removed to the Alexandria Hospital for treatment. State Policeman L. H. Lester, who in- vestigated the accident, said the youths toid him that their machine struck a rock in the road.

BILLS APPROVED| AT RAPID RATE Senate Committee Adopts Favorable Reports for Both Measures. ‘The $500,000 alley improvement bill and the Washington-Georgetown Gas Light merger measure were given favorable reports by the Senate District Committee yesterday afternoon. Both bills will be placed on the Senate calendar within a day or two. The District Committee meeting also was marked by selection of Senator Austin, Republican, of Vermont, as head of a subcommittee to conduct the study of prices of milk and other dairy products in Washington, ordered by the Senate a week ago. Other members of the subcommittee will be Senator Copeland, Democrat, of New York, and Senator King, Democrat, of Utah, who is chairman of the District Committee. Ancther subcommittee was named by Chairman King to consider proposed changes in the workman's compensa- tion law of the District. Frank J. Coleman, secretary of the Washington Central Labor Union, who urged the study of the law, stated that five in- surance companies have notified the Employes Compensation Commission that they are unable to pay claims of injured workers here. Carey Heads Committee. Senator King named Senator Carey, Republican, of Wyoming, chairman of a subcommittee to study the situation referred to by Mr. Coleman. Others| on the subcommittee are Senators; Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland and McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada. Later in the afternoon the subcommittee held a brief conference on the subject. Others who accompanied Mr. Cole- man in conferring with the subcommit- tee regarding the operation of the workmen'’s compensation law were Ed- ward J. Murphy, representing the em- pioyers; Prederick J. Rice, representing the master builders; Edward Tracy of the legal staff of the American Federa- tion of Labor, and John Locher of the &Vlshmgton Building Trades Associa- on. One suggestion made was that the subcommittee consider changing the District compensation law to the State fund plan, under which an initial ap- propriation of public funds would be made to operate the system until a sufficlent amount is accumulated in P lums. The conference yesterday was brief and informal. Senator Carey suggested that the groups present pre- pare definite proposals for consideration at a later mesting. Capper Motion Rejected. The District Committee approved the gas company merger bill, after reject- ing & motion by Senator Capper, Re- publican, of Kansas, to require the com- panies to waive any claim to going con- cern value in future valuation cases if they accept the terms of consolidation. In advocating this amendment, Senator Capper is carrying on the fight begun last year by the late Senator Howell, Republican, of Nebraska, who contend- ed the factor of going concern should be eliminated in return for benefits the company will get from the bill. Senator Capper indicated he wouid offer the amendment when the bill is taken up in the Senate. Before voting on the gas merger bill the committee heard George E. Sulli- van, vice president of the Federation of itizéns’ Associations, present the brief of the federation opposing the measure in its present form. The federation sup- ported the Capper amendment to elimi- nate going concern value, and also urged other changes The alley improvement bill was ap- proved in the form in which it was re- | cently rewritten in conferences between officials of the District government and the Park and Planning Commission. It makes available $500,000 of unexpended halances of the United States Housing Corporation, to be used in making a start on the reconstruction of alle; areas and the opening up of blind alleys into minor streets. Amendments Turned Down. The President would designate the agency w carry out the program. The agency could acquire alley property, re- plat the area to make it available for other uses and either make improve- ments or lease or sell the replatted oroperty for private development. The bill authorizes loans to limited dividend corporations or to home owners for such develcpment. James Wilkes, representing the Op- erative Builders, suggested an amend- ment to limit the agency to buying only such street-front property as may be needed to open the ends of alleys or to widen the entrances to alleys. The amendment was rejected, after Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, of the planning commis- sion, had expressed fear it might com- plicate the condemnation procedure. Senator Carey offered an amendment to prevent the agency placed in charge of the measure from carrying on re- building operations. This amendment also was rejected. Col. Grant told the committee that it is not intended that development of the property by the Government is to be the normal course of procedure. Willlam McK. Clayton urged reason- able limitations to prevent the alley improvement program from spreading out beyond the gradual process con- templated CHILD’S EYE REMOVED IN FIGHT TO SAVE LIFE Ferentst Oror i Eeneyt Opers. tion After Hearing of Helen Vasko's Case. By the Associated Press. BATON ROUGE, La., May 30.—Two- year-old Zoya Gates today was re- ported recovering from the immediate effects of an eye tumor operation per- f;}rmed as an emergency to save her e. The daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Gates of Napoleonville was operated upon after her parents had read of similar emergency treatment for 2- year-old Helen Vasko of Hastings, N. Y, for the same affliction. The child was declared recuperating satisfactorily after removal of her eye, although surgeons said she will not be out of danger for months. Her parents some time ago noticed the vision in her left eye apparently was not normal. They took her to a hos- pital here and a tumor operation was performed, but the tumor had already burst, scattering along nerve cells back of the eye.

By the Associated Press. Farm prices are going up in the fastest rise since the Spring after the ‘World War’s end. A steady climb has been under way since April 15, and up to yesterday the Bureau of Agricultural Economics re- ported it still under way. The last upswing to compare was in April, 1919, after the Government relaxed war-time milling regulations. Leading sthe way in the trek toward levels of prospcrous days have been the farmer’s faithful draft animals, horses and mules. Prom April 15 to midday, the bureau said, the average farm price for horses went from $67 to $71, while mules mounted from $73 to $77. Wool, however, scored the sharpest rise of any commodity, increasing 75 per cent from April 15's average farm price of 10.1 cents a pound to 17.7 cents a month later. The increase in farm purchasing power was exactly equal to the price increase, for the price level of goods farmers buy made no change. On May 15, as well as on April 15 the prices for consumption were equal to the pre-war level of 1909-1914. Below Pre-War Level. Farm prices, despite the increase, are still below the pre-war level. Using 100 to represent pre-war prices, the May 15 index figures for the same group of commodities was 62, a gain of 9 points since April 15, and a gain of 12 points since March 15. To return farm prices to a level where they will bear the same relation- ship to prices of goods purchased by farmers as the two bore to each other before the war, is the goal of the new farm act which Secretary Wallace and his aides are now striving to get into operation. The bureau attributed the new price rise to three factors: Anticipation of inflation; anticipation of a brisk busi- ness revival and poor prospects for some crops due to bad weather conditions, particularly for Winter wheat, corn and some grains. SHEPARD WINS REVIEW OF POISONING TRIAL Supreme Court to Hear Appeal of Major Given Life Term in Wife's Death. By the Associated Press. ‘The Supreme Court yesterday granted a review of the murder trial of Maj. Charles A. Shepard, now under sen- tence of life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, Zenanna Shvfll on the Fort Riley, Kans, tary reservation. Oral argument will be heard when the court returns in October from its Summer recess. The case merely was listed by the high court with a number of others, with a notation it had de- cided to review them on their merits. The petition asking a review stated the conviction had been obtained by the admission over the objections of Maj. Shepard's counsel of evidence reporting his deceased wife to have charged him with having poisoned her. Other grounds also were advanced. DENVER, May 30 (#).—Maj. Charles A. Shepard received with tears yes- terday the news that the United States Supreme Court had granted him a review of his murder conviction. “I'm so glad—I'm so glad,” the 61- year-old Army surgeon sobbed when friends carried the word to a little mountain village near here where he is spending a_ leave of absence. “I'm sure T'll be cleared when -the case is heard again,” he declared. Shepard, Canadian-born Army tu- berculosis expert, was convicted in Kansas City, Kans.,in December, 1930, of the murder by poison of his wife, Zenanna. The Tenth United States Circuit Court of Appeals twice upheld the conviction. He has been free on bond since his conviction and has been on active duty at Fitzsimmons General Hospital here.
