CANADA HAS DROP OF 138,769 NEEDY Only 1,362,214 on Direct Relief, With Decline Reported for April. Special Dispatch to The Star. OTTAWA, Canada, June 9.—Persons on direct relief in Canada in May totaled 1,362,214, or 138,769 less than in April, according to an estimate pre- pared by the department of labor. This shrinkage, while not as great as anticipated, was more apparent in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces than in Western Canada. Direct relief costs also dropped last month, owing to lower prices for prod- uce in the Summer. 1t is learned that the labor depart. ment is making & new arran it re- garding Ontario relief.

After listening to one of the strang- est stories ever told in the District Morgue, a coroner’s jury today ordered Elmer William Holland, jr., 25. a spe- cial policeman, held for grand jury a tion on a murder charge in the slay- ing of Mrs. Leila Morrison, 28. The jury, presided over by Acting Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald, re- turned the verdict after Holland had waived his constitutional right and taken the stand to tell how he “ac- cidentally” shot Mrs. Morrison early yesterday as she lay in bed in a room at the Franklin Park Hotel. ‘Holland's wife and mother. who at- tended the inquest’ with his father, representative of a large ma qwfactur- ing concern, received the verdict tear- fully. Said He Was Drunk. ‘Holland, who lives at 7707 Thirteenth street, told the jury he was “awful drunk” at the time of the shooting, and therefore could remember little about 1t. “I was feeling pretty good—kind of happy—so 1 took out my pistol,” Hol- land said, in explaining how he fired a bullet through the wall of the hotel room as he stood door. Holland’s statement coincided with virtually all the testimony of the other witnesses. His wife, called to the stand by Acting Coroner MacDonald, refused to_testify. Mrs. Morrison, a divorcee, was shot to death early yesterday in a room on the sixth floor of the hotel. She was lying on_a bed, conversing with her flance, Fred Williamson, when the b.let, fired from outside the locked d, " ripped through the thin wall clipped off the lobe of her right ear and buried itself in' her chest, killing her almost instantly. The bullet had grazed the elbow of the hotel employe, William Matthew Logan, 24, colored elevator operator, be- fore plowing through the wall. Assured that Logan’s wound was slight, Holland left the hotel, he told Detective Sergts. John C. Dalglish and Walter S. Beck, and did not learn until some time later that the bullet also had struck Mrs. Morrison. He was informed of the fatality, he said, when he went to | the home of his estranged wife, who told him detectives had been there look- ing for him. Holland, who had spent the night drinking, hid in a woods in nearby Maryland until he became sober, then No Cash Needed ! !

After making a signed state- ment to Dalglish and Beck, he was charged with murder. Companion Summoned. Among the witnesses summoned to the inquest were Melvin Rock, 23, of | the 1100 block of Fourteenth street, who accompanied Hclland to the ho- “‘1’{ Logan, Wiliamson and Holland’s wife. Holland, in his signed satement, said he had purchased several pints of liquor from Willlamson during the night and returned about 3 a.m. to buy more. In| a drunken spirit of playfulness, he said, he drew his gun and jammed it against | Logan’s body, telling him to rap on the | door. The elevator operator drew back, | Holland said, and just then the gun went_off. Holland’s statement was corroborated by both Logan and Rock, who also made signed statements. Rock said he | was some distance down the hall when he heard a shot. He returned imme- diately, he said. and saw Holland put his revolver into his pocket and, with Logan beside him, step on the elevator. As the elevator descended, he said, Wil- liamson opened the door and nounced “a woman has been shot.” Rock Tells Police. *Rock drcve to a filling station, where he is employed, and telephoned the po- lice, telling them he understood Hol- land had shot a woman. It was as & result of information supplied by Rock that detectives went to the home of Holland's wife. Mrs. Morrison, who is said to be the mother of a 10-year-old child, occu- pied a room next the one in which she was killed. The latter was shared by Williamson and another man. She and excursion boat, were to have been mar- ried soon. She came to Washington from Frederick, Md., about three years and had since been employed in a downtown department stor MRS.
