POLISH ATTACHE KILLED BY AUTO Bokdan Zaniewski Victini of Accident in Utah and Dr. Woici.echowski Hurt. Bohdan Zaniewski, attache at the Polish Embassy here, was fatally in- fured yesterday and his companion, Dr. Mieczyslaw Wojciechowski, guest member of the staff of the Bureau of Standards, was seriously hurt in an automobile accident near Glendale, Utah, it was learned here through the Associated Press. The automobile in which the two men were riding left the road as it rounded a curve and overturned, ac- cording to the dispatch. Dr. Wojciechowski suffered a broken right arm and head injuries. The body of Zaniewski was taken to Cedar City, Utah, last night. The embassy here ordered the Polish consul at Chicago to arrange for it %0 be taken to New York and it will be sent to Poland in eight or ten days. Zaniewski and Dr. Wojciechowski left here early in September on a vacation and were en route to the Grand Canyon at the time of the accident. They had planned to re- turn to this city some time next week. Zaniewski was 30 years old and un- married. He came to this city about 18 months ago on his first assignment with the diplomatic corps. Dr. Wojciechowski is a chemistry student and has been here for a short time conducting a series of chemistry experiments as a guest of the bureau. The embassy said last night that late reports indicate that his injuries are not serious beyond a broken arm.

More than 55,000 pages of evidence in the musty files of the War and Justice Departments tell the official story of the military conviction of Capt. Oberlin M. Carter 37 years ago. Now a 79-year-old Chicago consult- ing engineer, Carter is seeking vindi- cation in what he calls an American version of the famous “Dreyfus affair.” He presented his evidence last week to Senator Duffy of Wisconsin for a senatorial review. Carter was graduated from West Point in 1880 with a record second only to Robert E. Lee. He scored 1939.2 points in his studies. The highest pos- sible rating is 1950. Sent to Savannah, Ga. Six years later he was sent to Sa- vannah, Ga., as engineering officer, remaining there two years, during most of which he was in charge of harbor improvements at Savanuah and Cum- berland Sound, Fla. After he had been named military attache at London in 1897, his Sa- vannah accounts were examined and he was charged with illegally sharing in construction funds. Gen. E. S. Otis headed the court-martial which tried him .on 37 specifications. The record of the trial filied 24 volumes, which for years have bzen gathering dust in the Army’s files. Records show 17 specifications were dismissed because of the statute of limitations. Carter was acquitted on four, ‘but convicted on sixteen. Pres- | ident McKinley disapproved findings on 12 counts but approved four con- sidered the most important. Fraud Conspiracy Charged. ‘These charged that Carter had con- | spired with officials of the Atlanta Construction Co. to defraud the Gov- ernment to obtain payment of false | claims for $230,749 at Savannah and $345,000 at Cumberland Sound. Carter, then a captain, was dis- missed from the Army, fined $5,000 and sentenced to five years’ impris- onment at hard labor. From Septem- ber 30, 1899, to November 28, 1903, he was confined at Governor’s Island, D. C., OCTOBER 13, 1935—PART ONE. W.P.A.

With less than three weeks remaining, only six States had been cut off direct relief. Furthermore, delays in approving W. P. A. projects—which must provide at least 2,500,00 jobs for the early stages of the $4,000,000,000 program— combined with the slowness of Con- troller General McCarl's office in re- leasing allotments to cast doubt even | on attainment of the reduced 3,150,000 job goal by the end of the month.

It provides penalty of dismissal for school officials or teachers refusing to conform to its requisites. No certificate to teach in the schools shall be granted to one “who has not passed a satisfactory examination in physiology and hy- giene, with special reference to the nature and effects of alcohol.” Leaders of the United Dry Forces, Dr. Ellison explained last night, do not underestimate the present strength of public support for repeal. They even admit that there is no real pos- sibility now of obtaining enactment of the Guyer bill introduced at the | last session of Congress for restoring prohibition to the National Capital. Bad Conditions Reported. Conditions here in the city, how- ever, he said, had reached such a stage, based on official reports of ar- rests for drunkenness, and things which the general public can see upon the streets, that temperance leaders felt it was high time to launch a vigorous movement. First, he said, there was necessity to stimulate new interest and a sense of responsibility among luke-warm temperance ad- vocates who had been shocked by repeal into a state of lethargy. In the next place, he declared, militant drys now feel the time is ripe to start building public senti- ment in favor of rigid enforcement of existing law and of creating model conditions in the Nation's Capital, with finally a return of prohibition. Among the early steps this week by the united dry forces will be a meet- ing of the Speakers’ Committee Tues- day to begin arrangements for the program of December 2 to 8. Many churches throughout the city have of- fered their pulpits for the purpose, and the plan is, Dr. Ellison explained, to have a number of meetings each night, scattered over the District of Columbia. The week will culminate with a mass meeting Sunday in one of the largest downtown churches. oPr. Darby, secretary of the Wash- ington Federation of Churches, who is a member of the Speakers’ Com- mittee, declared last night that de- tails would be worked out at the meeting Tuesday, through expected co-operation of the churches. Evils Are Obvious. “The evils now existing in the Dis- trict of Columbia,” declared Dr. Darby, “are so many and so obvious ‘that I feel confident the Protestant churches will give the movement their hearty support. “The menace of the cocktail hour to our young people is so great,” he said, “we feel something must be done.”" The chairman of the Speakers’ Com- mittee is J. Raymond Schmidt. Page McK. Etchison, president of the Organized Bible Class Association of the District of Columbia, said last night this group is represented on the United Dry Forces, adding he was personally very much interested in the program of this dry committee. Prefers Old Conditions. “I have several very definite con- victions relative to conditions since the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment,” he said. “In the first\place, I see more drunks each week than I did in a year under prohibition, and I am dealing with facts and not generali- ties. “In the second place, I frankly pre- fer the days of the old saloon to the present system. It was possible in those days to avoid places where alcoholic liquor was sold, but today that is practically impossible. “Thirdly, statistics show an increase of drunkenness among young men and women between 17 and 31 years of age | | Y.
