A—2 ¥% NUMBERS' GLASH COSTS ONE LIFE Gorman Wright Dies - of Wound—Maurice Juliano Death Held Suicide. The “numbers” shooting Monday night of two men in the 1600 block of Twelfth street ended in death to- day for one of the victims—Gorman ‘Wright, 27, colored. ‘Wright and Victor Juliano, 26, were shot during a fight that police said started when they ridiculed and roughly handled another colored man at Turner's Arena. The gun play resulted when they fol- Jowed the man to the Twelfth street house, where, police said, he went to get & gun. Harvey James, 27, colored, who, ac- cording to Lieut. C. H. Lutz of the second precinct, admitted the shoot- ings, is being held. Wright died in Emergency Hospital of a gunshot wound in the abdomen. Juliano is confined to Sibley Hospital with a wound in the shoulder. Gas Death Suicide, Meanwhile, suspicion that the death of Maurice Juliano, 28, killed by car- bon monoxide gas, was linked with the shooting of his brother and Wright, was definitely removed today when the case was termed a suicide. An autopsy revealed the elder brother, whose body was found in his car in the closed garage in rear of the Juliaro residence at 2105 Fourtlt street north- east yesterday, had been dead more than 24 hours before Victor was ‘wounded. In deciding Maurice took his owr life, Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald #aid evidence had been uncovered to indicate a “lovers’ quarrel” probably was the motive. Maurice, the post-mortem showed, had been dead about 40 hours when his body was discovered by his 13-year- old sister, Eleanor, who went to the garage to get some firewood. Quarrel Reported. Maurice had not been seen by mem- bers of his family since early Sunday. Police were told he had quarreled | Saturday night with a girl with whom he had been going for several years. A woman’s hat found in Maurice's car is believed to belong either to the dead man’s sweetheart or to the com- panion of another man. The couple is understood to have been riding with Juliano late Sunday. Maurice’s body lay on the seat of the coupe, with the head under the wheel and the feet projecting from | the right-hand door. The hands lay under the head, as if to pillow it. Engine Had Stopped. The ignition switch was on, but the engine had stopped. There was still some gasoline in the tank, but Dr. MacDonald said the monoxide fumes could have become dense enough to prevent combustion and “kill” the | motor. Maurice, like Victor and Wright, had a long police record, but, al- though police suspected him of being involved in the “numbers” racket, he has never been arrested for activities along that line. Dating back to April, 1921, Maurice's record included charges of transporta- tion and possession of liquor, assault, disorderly conduct and drunkenness. He was known to police by aliases of | Maurice Culiano and Morris Juliana. Victor's record goes back to Au- gust, 1920, when he was arrested for petty larceny. He also was taken into custody for possession of liquor, transportation and setting up a gam- ing table. ‘Wright had been arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, sale, transpor- tation and possession of liquor, receiv- ing stolen property and permitting ming. James has been arrested several times for being disorderly. b Claw Machines (Continued From First Page.) William A. Gallagher represents a claw machine operator, asked Blick if he recalled that a lawyer named Her- bert Grossman challenged him into a | contest and pulled a clock out of a| machine after three plays. “Yes, I recall the incident,” Blick said. “Suppose there were 10 clocks 2| inches apart in a machine—how many | nickles would you have to use to get one?” Whelan asked. “I'd have to be a fortune teller to answer that, but I think I'd come away with some clocks,” said Blick. At this point, Wilson interrupted to ask Blick if he ever saw a machine with clocks spaced 2 inches apart. “No, I have not,” the witness an- | swered. Operation of claw machines in the District was banned last March by United States Attorney Leslie C. Gar- nett, who ordered the contrivances seized. The machines were not op- erated between early April and last July, although the replevin suit to determine their legality was pending. In July attorneys for the pin ball operators came into court and se- cured a temporary injunction against police seizure from Justice Oscar R. Luhring, who said he felt compelled to protect their property pending a final hearing. Encouraged by that decision, at- torneys for the claw machine operators obtained a similar order, and the claw machines have operated since. It was understood at that time, how- ever, that the legal questions involved ‘were to be threshed out before a jury in the law action rather than in a final hearing on the injunction suit. SHOPPING DAYS LEFTY | dered child and without hesitation Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. HAVEN. SOOTHSAYER of more than ordinary acumen, gazing upon the McLean residence ablaze with lights and social activi- ties in its palmy days, would hesitate to foretell that it would beccme & haven of refuge for homeless cats. It would seem, however, that through the fondness for cats of Isaak McBride, one-time campaign manager for the elder LaFollette, and now in charge of the McLean house occupied by the Resettlement Admin- istration, word has gone out by grape- vine wireless to the effect that all homeless cats will be given free food and lodging until they rehabilitate themselves or find a permanent home. Cats of all breeds, colors and every range of social standing have been fed and succored within the walls of this handsome house until it would seem there must be some way in which it has been marked for “good eats” just as the human tramps put a chalk mark on places where they re- ceive a friendly reception. The im- mense refrigerator, which was filled with rare viands and wines when en- tertaining was the order of the day. now contains a supply of milk, cream, salmon and other tidbits dear to feline appetites. Nobody knows just how many cats have come and gone away with a better outlook on the world but new arrivals continue to take the place of those departing. % x X % TROPHIES. The sanctum of Hugh D. Auch- incloss is beginning to look more and more like @ museum of natural history. Numerous bozes and crates have been arriving of late out of which have emerged mounted tarpon, sailfish, the front half of an Afri- can goat, and other relics of the chase All the office force natur- ally has been quite piqued, and the sportsman, shoving his hands deep into his pockets and assum- ing that puffily pleased attitude, has received their comments, ques- tions and compliments in his own quietly grateful way. The other morning, however, he got quite a shock. The office boy rushed in, looked at the new dec- orations in_amazement, and ex- claimed: “Gee, they're swell, bet you had to pay through the nose for those trophies.” ox ok % GIVE ALL. GOVERNMENT officials undoubtedly are an accommodating and well informed group of individuals, but one department was rather up against it | the other day upon receipt of a letter | such as this: b e?eciuly would appreciate all publications on social and economic “In fact I would be highly inter- | ested and grateful for any and all | information you can send me con- cerning all activities of life—and all activities of government.” ok ox % DUTY. N incident that occurred at the corner of Twelfth and F streets shows policemen aren't around simply to make arrests. As the light flashed green for traffic on Twelfth and the | heavy tide of Christmas shopping traffic at noon time surged ahead, a little child, apparently seeking its mother in the crowd of pedestrians on the northwest corner, burst out into the street and started to run across Twelfth. | Officer Caussin of 5233 Manning place, who was watching traffic from | the northeast corner, saw the bewil- | dashed toward her. His warning hand was sufficient to stop the northbound traffic which was not completely across F street but only great exhi- bition of open field running between | vehicles going south enabled him to | get to the child and carry her to | safety. In a few minutes the frantic | mother located her own and Caussin, | who was watching out for the child during the interval, resumed his busi- ness. * * NAME. Maybe you've been going on your serene way through life never giving the matter a single thought, but there's one man in town who seems to be worried. “Why,” this reader wants to know, “does the coromer always use the A. in front of his mame, thusly—A. Magruder MacDonald? Does the A. stand for Aloysius, Alphonse or just plain Albert?” Well, the A. doesn’t stand for anything, It's just a prefix. Dr. MacDonald couldn’t be located yesterday afternoon to be pressed for the reason it's used, though. Maybe he just didn't want to be known as The Magruder MacDonald. LAW CHANGES SOUGHT Proposals for drastic changes in the laws governing presidential and con- gressional elections were being pre- pared today for the new Congress. Heading the list was a constitutional amendment to abolish the electoral college. Another proposal would ex- tend the presidential term to six years and bar a second term, while a third would fix the date of the national elections & month earlier than at present. will start at once. rat Sianfu, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, POPE, INRELAPSE, YULETREESCHEER || ight Clubs and N. B. C. Voice Appeals HAS UNEASY NIGHT Orders Are Issued Against Any Seeing Him But on Urgent Business. BY the Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, Dcember 16.— Pope Pius XI awoke today after an uncomfortable night following a re- lapse from the ailments which have kept him bed-ridden for 11 days. The 79-year-old pontiff, however, ‘was reported still adamant in his de- termination to regard his iliness mere- 1y as the inescapable effect of old age. Dr. Amanti Milani, his physician, ‘went to the papal apartments equally determined that the Pope exert hime self as little as possible. Stresses Need of Rest. He tried to persuade the holy father that rest, and nothing but rest, could safeguard him against a relapse such as he suffered yesterday when his breathing became difficult. Although the Pope expressed his de- sire to lengthen his conferences with the papal secretary, orders were is- sued barring any one from approach- ing him except on the most urgent business. It was understood his discomfort during the night was due to his dif- ficulty in breathing and also to pain resulting from the varicose condition of his left leg. Both Legs Paralyzed. Both the Pope's legs became partly paralyzed when he was stricken. Con- gestion of his circulatory system, Vat- fcan officials said prior to his re- lapse, had improved. Dr. Milani administered a heart stimulant yesterday, Vatican sources said, but the Pope rallied only tem- porarily. They said he seemed to feel great fatigue later and still was de- pressed when he retired. His holiness spent several hours yesterday in an armchair, seeing vis- itors and administering his affairs.

The execution of Chiang and several of his generals by Marshal Chang at Sianfu, 700 miles northwest of here, was announced here by small Chinese newspapers and by the Domei (Jap- anese official) News Agency at Tokio. These reports were based on & sup- posed radio broadcast by Marshal | Chang early today. Chinese officials ignored or denied this version and gave as their only information Don- | ald’s report that Chiang was alive. Neither Domei nor Chinese who | spread the report of the killing of- fered any evidence of its authenticity. (Domei in Tokio continued to- night to publish the execution re- port, but also gave out Donald’s re= port that Chiang was alive. Jap- anese observers commented that the execution report came a day after Chiang was seen alive by Donald.) The Chinese army units reported | moving in on the recalcitrant warlord | are the best equipped fighting forces China has ever had. | Infantry Has Machine Gun Company. The men were well uniformed and the infantry carried not only ordinary rifies, but machine guns. The Chinese National Army also holds in reserve for instant use a highly developed air corps with much of its fiying equipment of American manufacture. Some of the mystery over Chiang's fate was due to censorship and some to the isolation of Sianfu, where Chang had his prisoner. Communications were reported in- terrupted and the Nanking govern- ment attempted to watch events through scout planes, which were able | to see but little of movements by Marshal Chang’s forces and learned nothing of what actually happened. These planes, however, were deemed useful to direct the advance of Gov- ernment forces moving toward Sianfu. Censorship was clamped down promptly Saturday when Chiang was known to have been captured and only tonight was it being relaxed. CHINA ON WAR-TIME BASIS. Executive Yuan Votes Policies of Chiang to Continue. NANKING, December 16 (#).—With an unconfirmed report sweeping China that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek has been killed, the Notional govern- ment placed the whole nation on a war-time basis today. Whether the “George Washington of the republic” was alive or dead could not be immediately determined with assurance, for he was taken cap- tive last week by his mortal enemy, Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang, and held Chang's stronghold in Shensi Province. A civilian stepped into the appall- ing vacancy created by Chiang’s ab- sence from the capital. He is Dr. H. H. Kung, acting as head of the executive Yuan, highest administra- tive department of the government. Policies to Be Continued. At a meeting last night the Yuan voted “never to relax” operations against subversive elements in the northwest. And to continue the do- mestic and foreign policies of the missing generalissimo. Martial law was proclaimed throughout China and all demonstra- tions or political movements were prohibited. In explanation of these stringent regulations, officials cited grave situation arising from multiple assas- sinations.” It was not explained, however, ‘whether these ‘“assassinations” had any relation to the reported broadcast —~which, like other current reports, had been denied—of the execution of Generalissimo Chiang by Chang.

With the deadline for the general collection of Federal employes' Christmas contributions to Washing- ton's needy drawing near, holiday trees and Santa Claus scenes are springing up in lobbies and offices throughout Government buildings here. A variety of means to remind Gov- ernment workers who have joined in ,the campaign being conducted by The Evening Star, in co-operation with Warner Bros’ Theaters, National Broadcasting Co., Metropolitan Police Department and Parent-Teachers’ Association to see that none is for- gotten this Christmas in the Nation's Capital were reported today to Harry R.

J. Plant of the Navy Department Supply Division, who is in charge. As donations are received from the various sections, Plant said, names of donors are recorded in a “book of honor” which the depart- ment will keep throughout the cam- paign. Cash Boxes Attractive. Justice Department employes have added eight cash boxes, handsomrely designed in a modernistic Christmas motif by Reginald Cooper, to the seven Christmas trees set up yester- day throughout the building. By placing one of these boxes in the Ate torney General's section, employes expect to receive cash from visitors as well as employes. Enthusiasm in this department, which has pledged itself to provide all the immediate wants in the way of food and clothing, as well as toys for 25 families, has been increased by personal interviews with prospective recipients, it was reported by J. Leighton Cornwell, who is in charge. Small groups in the Federal Hous- ing Administration and the Resettle- ment Administration also planned to provide Christmas baskets for spe- cific families. A ham led the list of supplies being accumulated by 35 employes in the service division of Federal Housing, Miss Gladys Goeringer reported. Canned foods and clothing also will be placed in the basket as soon as the exact needs of the family to be helped are ascertained. Twelve Resettlement Administra- tion employes in rooms 507, 508 and 509, Arlington Hotel, are collecting funds to fill a basket for a single fam- ily, Miss Rose Tompkins reported. Santa Claus Train Set Up. A Santa Claus special, consisting of an engine and several cars set up in the old Post Office Building by D-2 audit division of the Agricultural Ad- justment Administration, was re- ported almost snowed under with a load of gifts which long since over- flowed the tender. Daniel stated also that a number of offices have notified him they ex- pect to make out checks to The Wash= ington Star Toy Fund. These are to be sent to his office and forwarded to The Star. A $20 contribution was assured yes- ! terday from the mortality coding sec- tion, division of vital statistics in the Census Bureau. This sum was raised | through a sale of candy, according to a report by James M. Copeland. Meanwhile, plans are going forward for the dance Saturday to be held in | the patio of the Agricultural Depart- ment Building under the auspices of the Athletic and Recreational Associ- ation of the department. Admission price will include contributions for the | Christmas campaign or a cash do- nation. With employes of all Government | departments and the majority of Fed- eral boards, commissions and miscel- laneous agencies already allied with the campaign, newcomers still are be- ing welcomed. The Federal Commu- nications Commission is the Iatest organization to join. John B. Rey- nolds, acting secretary, reported to Daniel that Mrs. Euna P. Wiley has been placed in cha FUGITIVE CAPTURED AUSTIN, Tex.,, December 16 (#).— The Department of Public Safety said last night its identification bureau had checked fingerprints of a man ar- rested December 10 under the name of John Nolen Ridge at Alpine as those of Frank Argo, Flcrida fugitive. The department said the man was arrested for a game law violation and carrying concealed weapons. Argo escaped from a road camp of the Tallahassee State Penitentiary Oc- tober 27, where he was serving a 10- year robbery sentence. United States made an official ex- pression of sympathy concerning the crisis to high Chinese officials. He told them he was deeply concerned | as to the generalissimo's fate. | Similar expressions were received | from the Japanese, Russian, French and German Ambassadors and the Minister of Cuba. Bad weather today prevented Mme, Chiang, the Wellesley-educated wife | of the generalissimo, from departing by airplane for Loyang, in Honan Province, to be as near as possible to where her husband was captured. TOKIO SEES WAR POSSIBILITY. Chiang Kidnaping Believed Com- ‘munist-Inspired. TOKIO, December 16 (#).—The pos- sible death of China's Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek as the capture of a Chinese war lord moved Japanese offi- cials today to the grave consideration of a war which might involve Japan. ‘There were two avenues of specula- tion: Pirst, that the kidnaping of Chiang was Communist-inspired; sec- ond, that the chaotic condition exist- ing in China threatened Japanese in- terests and territory and was espe- cially dangerous to the Japanese- created empire of Manchukuo. Japan, co-operating closely with the established government of Manchukuo, pursued a well-defined policy of puni- tive protection of that nation’s bor- ders, as has been evidenced in the re- cent past in military combats with both Russian and Outer Mongolian border patrols. | Japan’s stated policy of opposition to the growth of communism in China has involved repeated warnings WEDNESDAY, DECEMB \ ER 16, 1936.
