¢ Al OIL MAN TO SPEN VAGATION IN JALL Sinclair Must Serve Sentence in Washington Jail Washington, April 9 UM—Unless very unusual delays are obtained, Harry F. Sinclair will spend most of the summer in one of the capital's oldest public bulldings, the Washing- ton asylum and jail. This because of his refusal to answer all questions asked him during the senate Teapot Dome investigation. Although it was built 70 years and lacks some of the improvements which more modern structures of the kind contain, it is regarded as one of the best, as jails go, in com- mon with other public—and private ~—buildings in Washington, however, 1t is not regarded as a summer re- sort, and jall officials are emphatic in their declaration that the wealthy ©il man will be granted no special privileges not available to other pris- oners. Under the rules of th court, Binclair has only days in which to appeal for a rehearing from its decision yesterday uphold- ing his conviction for contempt of the senate, which carried with it the three months jall sentence and a fine of $500. Rechearings are seldom granted, however, and the supreme court’s mandates in such cases are usuglly sent to the court of appeals of the District of Columbia within ten days. Whenever the mandate in 8inclair's case {8 received, United Ktate's Attorney Rover has explain- €d, he will be notified promptly to #ppear to hegin his sentence. The old jail is in the southeastern part of the city, 19 blocks east and #everal blocks south of the capitol. While it is near the river, it ia in one of the low lying sections, Newcom- ers who are qualified for work are usually assigned bookkeeping tasks, and jail officlals expect the custom o be followed in the case of Sinclair, despite that his name is slated to eclipse in prominence those of all of his predecessors, Once inside the jail priseners are kept there until released, since the wvard is enclosed only with a hed and no outdoor exercise or recrea- tion is provided for.

C., April 9 P—Caro- |lina strike ranks had been swelled by almost 1,000 today with textile workers idle at three additional | plants, in North Carolina. Conditions in South Carolina | where more than 4.000 workers at Greenville Union, Woodruff and An- derson are on strike, remained u changed with conciliation mov: ments in progress. At Pineville, N. C., leaders of a |atrike that started in a unit of the the Charwick - Hoskins mill last night, claimed a steady increase of their nu cal strength and said practically the entire force of be- |tween 150 and 200 employes had heen pledged to join their picket lines today. Strike at Florence Mills A walk-out yesterday at the Flor- ence mills of Forest City, N.

Ginsburg, the case was continued until morning in $500 bonds. Johnson was released 'n $500 bonds after his ar- rest yesterday forenoon. It is under- stood that an analysis of beer taken by the police showed it to have an alcoholic content greater than the law allows. After court it was said that the case is being investigated further and there may be developments. The place where Johnson was arrested was a saloon in the pre-prohibition days, and according to the police the bar which was used at that time is still in use. The beer is manufac- tured on the premises and sold in bottles. Fails (o Support Children Charles Kozzra, 58, of 49 Lawlor street, pleaded not guilty to the | charge of non support but admitted that he has not contributed to the | support of his three children during |the past four weeks. Mrs. Kozzra | testified that she lived with her hus- band for 18 years, separating last he would pay $10 a week towards the support of the children, whose ages are 12, 14, and 17. He kept the Saturday | September under an agreement that | agreement until four weeks ago. Probation Officer Connolly testi- fied that the couple had disagree- ments prior to the separation, the husband accusing the wife of nag- ging him until he could stand it no longer. He was satisfied at that time to pay $10 a week. Kozzra, in his own behalf, said he could not continue the arrangement. He earns $24 a week in a factory and it costs him $10 a week for his |own living, so that he has only $4 |a week left. He admitted that he | drinks but denied that this habit was | at the bottom of his difficulty. | Judge Traceski jmpressed upon | him that he must support his chil- | dren and it would be better for him to leave liquor alone. He continued the month on probation and in the meantime he must pay $10 a week | to the children, and if the probation | officer deems it advisable to reduce | the amount he will confer with the court to that effect. Mras. Kozzra and | the children have been living on West street since the separation. |Pinchot’s Wife Takes | Drink of Hair Tonic Savannah, Ga April 9 (P—Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of the former case for one governor of Pennsylvania was on her way to Key Wost, Fla., today after a short stop here where she was given treatment for possible ill re sults of a dose of hair tonic which she drank thinking it was medicine, Mre.
