SLEEP-TALKING HUSBAND SLAIN Wife Admits Shooting After He Told of Love Affair With Stenographer. By the Assoctated Press. LOS ANGELES, September 15.—A story of a 37-year-old wife who shot dead her husband after “he con- stantly talked in his sleep and told of intimacies he was having” with a young stenographer was pieced to- gether last night by police investiga- tors. Capt. Blaine Steed said Mrs. Geor- gla Haugaard told detectives she and her husband had quarreled and he admitted his unfaithflness and tried to kill her before she shot him. The husband, H. E. Haugaard, was found on a couch during the morning, ap- parently fatally wounded while sleeping. Soon after the shooting the cou- ple’s 16-year-old son Wally found his mother in a gas filled back room, he said, but she apparently had suf- fered no ill effects. Stenograpner Sought. Police were seeking the stenog- rapher. Capt. Steed said the woman wrote two notes, one of which read “I shot my husband because he tried to kill me after admitting being unfaithful to me with a young girl. * * * He denied having an affair with her for over two years * * * but as he con- stantly talked in his sleep and told of intimacies he was having with her I knew differently.” The officer said a note to the eouple’s son read: “Daddy admitted the affair with that cheap girl and I can’t go on. We could all have been so happy if it weren't for her.” Believed Losing Mind. Haugaard’s father, H. E. Haugaard, er., and a sister, Mrs. Elsie Auling, told homicide squad officers they could not account for the- shooting. ‘They said Haugaard had known a stenographer, but they did not believe there was any just cause for his wife to suspect a love affair between them. Mrs. Auling said they thought Mrs. Haugaard might “be losing her mind or suffering from hallucinations.” One of Mrs, Haugaard's notes said she had left her husband four times because of the girl HILLCREST CITIZENS " HIT STREET CHANGE Oppose Plan to Make Arterial Highway of Branch Avenue Southeast. By unamious vote, the Hillcrest Citizens’ Association last night op- posed the opening of Branch avenue southeast, from Pennsylvania avenue to the District line, as an arterial highway leading to Southern Mary- land. Opponents of the change expressed the views that allowing commercial vehicles in a residential zone would in time depreciate the value of property, and the increase in traffic would be a menace to children. Other business transacted at the meeting, the first since the Summer recess, included a request to the Cap- ftal Transit Co. to revise its bus sched- ule and to install a special bus to take care of the school children in the morning and afternoon from Hillcrest to the school in Randle Highlands. ‘The busses now operate on a 15-minute schedule during the morning and eve- ning rush hours and a 30-minute schedule for the remainder of the day. Under the schedule sought by the as- sociation, the busses would operate on a 10-minute headway during the rush hours and 15-minute headway during the other hours. meeting was held in the East Wash'ggton Heights Baptist Church, Alabafia and Branch avenues south- east, and was presided over by the president, R. C. Darnell. OFFICERS FACE INQUIRY IN ‘LOANING’ OF PISTOLS Detectives Due to Appear Before | Trial Board Today to Explain I Actions. Detective Sergt. A. D.

(3 l*mm JERRY End of Canal Traffic Jams Seen in Ship Tracer Invention By the Assoclated Press. COLON, Panama, September 15.— An ingenious “ship tracer,” which can locate ships accurately during their transit of the Panama Canal, was demonstrated yesterday for the first time. Operated by its inventor, Capt. Ster- ling P. Miller, veteran Panama Canal pilot, the tracer kept tabs on & ship to the minute. Comdr. John G. Moyer, United States Navy, acting marine superin- tendent, acclaimed the device as a tremendous aid to canal traffic. He said it would be possible to visualize congestion points with it and expe- dite transits. The tracer is a 3-foot miniature of the canal, operated by an ordinary clock, but scaled at five minutes for each hour. Allowing 7 hours and 10 minutes for each undelayed passage, a minia- ture ship moves correspondingly on a revolving ball-bearing chain. If the vessel is delayed the tracer's miniature marker can be reset ac- cordingly. WIDENED F STREET OPENING IS DELAYED Street Car Track Repairs Hold Up Use by Trafic for Few Days. The newly widened stretch of F street between Seventh and Ninth streets cannot be opened until next week, Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, director of highways, said yesterday because of the delay in the completion of street car track repairs. The asphalting of the north side of P street will be completed in the next day or so, Whitehurst said, and but for the track repairs the street could be entirely utilized for vehic trafic. A delay in a shipment of material for the car tracks is holding up work. A new type of street car loading platform will be used on F street just east of Ninth, Whitehurst said. This is a stream-lined affair, called the “Milwaukee type” It was recom- mended for trial here by the commit- tee which the Commissioners sent to Milwaukee to study traffic control, It will be finished today, _— UNDERPRIVILEGED BLIND WILL RECEIVE VACATION The Friends of the Moment Blina Society, a group of Washington volun- teers who furnish entertainment and recreation for the blind, will give another vacation to a number of the city’s underprivileged blind at the organization's cottage at Fair Haven, Md., during the week of September 23, Miss Angela Francis Small, chair- man of the society, announced today.
