PHILADELPHIA GROUP FORMS IN BRENTWOOD '$2,000,000 Apartment Work to Begin in March as First in Record. Undertaking. BY JAMES Y. NEWTON. Plans for a huge low-cost housing development on Rhode Island avenue northeast, which would overshadow anything of the type ever attempted here by private capital, were an- nounced today by a syndicate com- posed largely of Philadelphia business men. A tract of 62 acres on Rhode Island tvenue between Brentwood road and Beventeenth street northeast has been purchased for the development, it was stated by Mark and Henry Stearman, attorneys, representing the Philadel- bhia greup, who recently formed the Brentwood Development Corp. The property was purchased from the National Savings & Trust Co. for ap- broximately $400,000. $10,000,000 to Be Cost. Present plans call for erection of three-story apartments and row houses involving an expenditure of $10,000,- 000. The part of the property front- Ing on Rhode Island avenue would be developed for commercial purposes. The tract, which is altogether unde- veloped, extends south to W street. Mark Stearman, who made the an- nouncement for the Brentwood cor- poration, said his clients plan to break ground in .March for a group of apartments to cost about $2,000,000. ‘These buildings will contain 2,000 rooms, divided into about 600 two, three and five room units. The sec- ond .tep in the huge development would be undertaken immediately on completion of the initial group. $15 a Room Maximum. Stearman stated that while plans have not been completed, the corpo- ration has decided that rents for the apartments will not exceed $15 a room. The National Savings & Trust was represented in the sale of the ground by its president, H. Prescott Gatley, and Barnum L. Colton, real estate officer. LAUGHLIN ALLOWED 70 CHANGE JUDGES Justice Proctor Disqualifies Him- self and Case Is Certified to Justice Gordon. Because of an affidavit of prejudice filed against him Saturday, Justice James M. Proctor of District Court disqualified himself today in the trial of James J. Laughlin, an attorney, ‘who has been indicted on charges of forgery, embezzlement, larceny and larceny after frust. The case immediately was certified over to Justice Peyton Gordon and trial was postponed until Wednesday because of the insistence of Laughlin's attorneys, E. Russel Kelly and Myron G. Ehrlich, that they be allowed to withdraw. When Assistant United States At- torney John W. Fihelly pressed for an early trial, Justice Gordon refrained from ruling on the request that the lawyers step out of the case, but in- dicated he would allow another law- yer to undertake the trial and excuse Kelly and Ehrlich if the new counsel is ready Wednesday. Attorney George D. Horning, jr., entered his appear- ance as Laughlin’s new counsel. The pending charges against Laugh- lin involve $1,500 he is alleged to have obtained from three clients. In disqualifying himself, Justice Proctor said he was acting “regardless of certain technical aspects of the affidavit, which hardly complies with the requirements of the statute.” The affidavit alleged that in two cases in 1935 Justice Proctor manifested an unfrlendly lmtude toward Lluzhlin GAMBLING CASE - BAIL IS UPHELD Government Loses Motion to Have, “Dutch” Erwin and Asso- ciates Committed. ‘The United States Court of Appeals today denied a Government motion to revoke the bail of Morris E. (Dutch) Irwin and five of his associates, who were convicted with him last Febru- ary, 12 on gambling charges. All six had appealed from the verdict and argument of the case recently was heard by the appellate court. One of the questions raised in the appeal concerned the make-up of the trial jury, which the defendants claimed included a Government em- ploye. ‘When the Supreme Court placed its stamp of approval recently on the service of Government workers on eriminal juries, the district attorney moved to have the bail for Irwin and his associates revoked and the men committed, contending there no longer was any substantial question of law involved in the case. ‘The Court of Appeals, however, re- fused to adopt this view. ' _Those convicted with Irwin were: Edward J. Gibson, Wilbur 8. Chrroll, Leonard F. Hill, Prank E. Crandall, James McIntyre and Morris A. Ma- hone. The last-named man did not appeal, and is serving his sentence.

Citizens, Capital Makes 0.79%, of Contributions. 103 REVENUE EMPLOYES OUT AS INQUIRY RESULT 55 Convictions Obtained in 200 Prosecutions for Evasion of Levies. Although listed as having only .46 per cent of the population of the United States, the District paid into the Treasury during the last fiscal year .79 per cent of the total income tax collections, it was disclosed today in the annual report of the commis- sioner of internal revenue. The report also showed the bureau dismissed 103 employes last year as a result of investigations by its in- telligence unit. Of these, it was said, 14 were prosecuted and 7 convicted. The incgme tax figures were based on an estimated District population as of July 1, 1935, of 594,000. Income tax payments from Wash- ington in the fiscal year totaled $11,~ 150,501.65. Miscellaneous tax collece tions from this city were $6,150,= 247.32, which, added to the income taxes, made a total of $17,300,748.97, or .50 per cent of the income and miscellaneous total for the country.

The District necessarily was low] on agricultural adjustment taxes, with | only $22,180.56, or only .03 per cent | of the total. | Total internal revenue collections from Washington amounted to $17.- 322,929.53, which was .49 per cent of the total for the country. Nearby Maryland paid in a total of $63,308,$65.07, or 1.80 per cent of the total for the country.

Inaugural Attendance Mark Cltumed by Colored Man, 8 Grant Recalled by Charles H. Turner in Challenge to Conlyn. An 80-year-old colored man, Who| claims to be one up on Willlam J. Conlyn in the matter of seeing Presi- dents inducted into office, admits he may be a little prejudiced in choosing President McKinley’s * inaugural pa- rade as the “most impressive I've ever seen.” “You see, Mr. McKinley personally appointed me to a position in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,” said Charles H. Turner, 2725 P street, a lifelong resident of Washington. Turner, whd was retired from the bureau 10 years ago, asserted he has witnessed every inauguration since President Grant’s. And more than that, has participated in several in- augural parades and can’t quite see why they're barring certain groups from the parade January 20. “My goodness,” he exclaimed. “He's our President, and everyone who wants to should be allowed to march. Why, the whole country ought to be in there.” ‘Turner recalled that in McKinley's inaugural parade, huge arches, one for each State, were erected over Pennsylvania avenue along the line of march. The weather was beautiful that day, too, he said, “but most of the other inaugurations I saw Vere on snowy or awfully cold He described how Preudent Grant once was arrested for speeding in his carriage one day by a colored police- man. “They took him to the station house and asked him what his business was,” said Turner. “When he replied, ‘President of the United States,’ those CHARLES- H.

MILITARY BUDGET FIGHT ORGANIZED | District Zoo Director Crates American Western Congress Bloc Will Resist $980,000,600 Sum Sought for Year. By the Associated Press. Bloc resistance to President Roose- velt’s proposals for a $980,000,000 mili- tary appropriation is being organized by a group of Western Congress mem- bers, including Senator Nye, Repub- lican, of North Dakota, former Muni- tions Committee chairman. Contending America’s “huge” Army and Navy expenditure “simply doesn’t make sense,” Nye asserted that “no other nation on earth is as safe from attack.” Although the United States’ geo- graphical position “makes any success- ful assault a military impossibility,” he said, tries” in war preparations. Wheeler Wars on Ships. Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana, said he would fight the Presi- dent’s recommendation for building two $50,000,000 battleships, on the ground they would be “wasted money.” “That tremendous investment could be blown out of the water in a few minutes by a bombing squadron,” h argued. “If we are going to spend great sums for defense, we should spend them for airplanes, not for a big navy.” Senator Bone, Democrat, of Wash- ington asserted “a large part of the budget already is being spent for past and future wars.” Nearly $3,500,000,~ 000 was paid, out last year for “war purposes,” including the bonus and war debt interest, Bofle said. Amendment Proposed. Proposing a constitutional amend- ment forbidding America to take part in any war or spend money for mil- itary purposes, Senator Frazier, Re- publican, of North Dakota asked: “How can we expect other nations to work with us for peace, while we are setting the pace for the largest “wé are outdoing all other coun- | peace-time military expenditures in history?” Frazier said the amendment was adyocgted by the Women's Peace League of New York and had been |“ introduced by him at the last five sessions of Congress. He said he hoped to have it introduced in the House this year. The Senator said the amendment would prohibit United States partici- pation in any war, foreign or domes- tic; and would wipe out all smilitary and naval appropriations. He said he would ask for a hearing before a judiciary subcommittee. “If we believe in peace we ought to set an example for the rest of the world,” Frazier said.

Expedition Reverses Custom, Will Carry Animals With It Creatures to Give to Far East, Where ’Possum Is Strange Beast. ‘The expedition which will leave Washington tomorrow for the East Indies to collect specimens for the local Zoo will reverse the usual pro- cedure and take along many animals for distribution among zoos of the Far East. Dr. William M, Mann, Zoo director, who will head the expedition, is hav- ing & number of American animals crated for gifts in lands where they are as rare as tigers or aardvarks in this country. ‘The National Geognpmc Society- Smithsonian Institution expedition will be gone for six months. It is, perhaps, the first time any collecting expedition ever left home with a fair- sized menagerie “in its baggage.” Among Dr. specimens will be mountain lions, jaguars, possibly a black bear or so and numerous small animals, includ- ing opossums and raccoons. Dr. Mann will present the American animals as gifts to zoos in various cities which he expects to visit in the Orient. The gifts will cause no de- e | Pletion of American zoos, for there is a surplus of these animals in this country. The expedition will leave tomorrow for Sumatra, Netherlands East Indies, not only to collect unusual animals, but also to gather geographic and natural history information and photographs.
