CARSON WILL FACE
TEST OF SANITY
Mafi Who Held Nurse Captive
May Go to Galilnger—Still
-i In District Jail.
t>r. D. Percy Hioklinp. District allen
tat* ha* been designated by District At- !
tozney Leo A Rover to examine Howard
Carson in the next few days to de
termine if he was' sane when he stood
oft police Tuesday night for two hours
and a half, while he urged Miss Annie
Z D. Jennings, a jfoilnft woman roomer In
hi* father's home, at 60 S street, to "give
up the other man” or die.
Dr. Hlckling has not as yet set a
date for the test, and meanwhile Car
son was being held at. the District Jail
in default of a SIO,OOO bond set In Police
Court yesterday on a charge of assault
with intent to kill Miss Jennings. 25-
year-old nurse, employed at Sibley Hos
“pital.
Rover asked for the mental examina
tion at request of Carson’s father,
O. F. Carson, and the young man's at
torney. George McNeil. Through his
attorney Carson waived a preliminary
hearing when arraigned before Judge
Gus A Schuldt yesterday.
May Go to Gallinger.
If Dr. Hickling should find it advis
able Carson probably will be sent to
Gallinger Hospital for 10 days of men
tal observation, with the possibility that
he will be given a sanity hearing to
determine if be should be committed
to St. Elizabeth's Hospital. Mean
while, Carson.is confined in the Dis
trict Jail.
It is thought • that evidence in the
case will not bp presented to the
grand jury until Carson's mental
status has been passed on.
Miss Jennings early yesterday trans
ferred her belongings from the second
floor room of the Carson home, which
ahe rented furnished last' FObVifaty,
and in which she was held prisoner
Tuesday night, to the rcsidenre of her
sister. Mrs. May Lewis, on Wisconsin
avenue, near Quebec street.
Had Been in Poor Health.
Young Carson, his father said, had
been in poor health since his return
last Winter from New York. He be
came fond of Miss Jennings and they
were frequently together until several
days ago.
Then Miss Jennings became ac
quainted with Joseph Jackson. Tuesday
night Carson went out early, his father
said, and returned, acting as if he
was intoxicated.
When Jackson called for Miss Jen
nings, young Carson went upstairs, pro
duced the gun and told the girl she
was not going out. He pleaded with
her desperately to give up Jackson
while a detail of police took up posi- I
tlons in the street and on the roofs
of neighboring houses.
Carson was subdued by a rookie po
liceman, Pvt. Earl Baker of No. 2 pre
cinct, who climbed across an improvised
bridge into a second-floor window qX
the Carson home and took the younj?
man by surprise.
WILL RAISE TREASURE
BUDAPEST (N. AN. A.).—They are
planning to raise two boats which were
sunk 400 years ago in the Danube near
Esztergom. That was when the Hun
garian Queen, Maria, was fleeing before
the Turks after the battle of Mohacs.
The ships were loaded with the treasures
of the royal palace, which were being
transferred to Pozsony. Hungary was |
assured proprietary rights over the j
sunken treasure in the peace treaty. I
and there is pleasurable anticipation, of
raised riches. *• -' 1

FIREMEN PROTEST
ARREST OF DRIVER
Prince Georges County Vol
unteers Want Policeman
Reprimanded.
By a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Septem
ber 11. —A formal protest by the officers
and representatives of the 19 companies
affiliated with the Prince Georges
County Volunteer Fire Association
against the arrest of one of the fire
engine drivers by a county policeman
will be made before the county commis
sioners next Tuesday.
This was decided at a meeting of
the advisory board of the association
in Trinity Parish Hall last night, when
members of the association were vigor
ous in their denunciation of the poll<f*-
man's action. President Karl Young
of Mount Rainier presided at the meet
ing.
Headley Makes Report.
The arrest of the driver. Edward
George Boyer of College Park, by
County Policeman Frank P. Prince
while Boyer was driving the College
Park engine to a fire was officially re
ported to the association by Capt. J. F.
Headley, captain of the College Park
Department.
Boyer was booked for reckless driving
after an automobile driven by Joseph A.
Burnett of Washington; a sergeant in
the Marine Corps, was forced off the
Defense Highway.
A written complaint against the
policeman’s action was filed with the
Commissioners this week by Walter J.
Quick, Jr., District forester, who asked
that the policeman be "properly repri
manded.”
Firemen Handicapped.
The Commissioners postponed action
on Quick's letter Tuesday, ordering
that he, together with Prince and
Boyer, appear before them next week,
when the whole matter will be aired.
Quick's letter, In part, follows:
"Along with other departments, the
College Park organization responded to
a general alarm, September 5, and under
the direction of Forest Warden J. F.
Headley, made a commendably quick run
via Bladensburg and the Defense High
way to the scone of the Are, the truck en
fore reaching the Are, the truck en
countered right of way difficulties, and
Officer Prince stopped the vehicle and
arrested Edward George Boyer for
reckless driving. It Is not my desire
to take up the matter of the charge as
I realize that it is a matter for the
court to decide.
"I do. however, make strenuous ob
jection to Officer Prince’s action in
handicapping the volunteers and the
work of the Department of Forestry in
making an arrest at a time when a real
emergency existed. Mr. George Edward
Boyer Is a registered forest Are fighter
In the College Park crew and as such
was operating the fire truck under the
direct supervision and by the authority
of Forest Warden J. F. Headley. As
you know, the unprecedented drought
has made fire conditions most difficult
to cope with and all wardens have been
requested to do their utmost In render
ing prompt .assistance. Mr. Headley
and Mr. Boyer were complying with
this request In the most gratifying
manner.
“Mr. Prince’s action was certainly very

■ inopportune. He prevented the College
I Park crew from reaching the scene of
action as promptly a* was desirable. He
demoralized the spirit of. the crew and
discouraged them In the big task that
was before them. He created excite
| i ment and friction among the other fire
departments and made efficient hand-
1 1 ling of a critical situation most difficult,
i There is no genuine reason that Mr.
j Prince could not have at least post
poned the arrest until a time which
, would have been less harassing. He not
! onlv handicapped our work but in
carrying out the arrest, absented himself
from a scene of real traffic danger
where he could have remained and
aided us by keeping the highway open
and spectators at a safe distance.
"I wish to go further in my denun
ciation of this arrest. I have seen it ex
pressed through the papers that ‘Sheriff
I Charles S. Early has received numerous
complaints recently about the reckless
manner in which the volunteej fire en
gines of the county are driven.’ I wish
to suggest that if such a condition ex
ists. much more could be accomplished
by the sheriff by taking the matter up
in a constructive manner with the
Prince Georges County Volunteer Fire
men's Association or individually with
the offending organizations, rather than
by an untimely thoughtless and un
ethical arrest. The firemen of the
county are constantly risking their
lives for the benefit of our citizens and
I am sure that by the proper approach
and proper co-operative spirit, they
will promptly and willingly respond to
reasonable requests regarding the pub
lic safety. The trouble is that little
or no effort has been made through
the sheriff’s office to eo-operate with
the firemen in solving their difficult
problems.
"In conclusion, I respectfully request
that Officer Prince be properly repri
manded for his harmful behavior and
that he be requested to hereafter give
aid and a better co-operative spirit to
the volunteer firemen of the county. It
should be definitely established in the
minds of the police official* of the
county that there are emergency periods
when their services are more valuable
In directing traffic, advising the reck
less ancj protecting the public, than
they are in making arrests.”
WOMAN APPOINTED
On the recommendation of the At
torney General, the President has au
thorized the appointment of Mrs.
Robert D. Freeman to a clerkship in the
Bureau of Prohibition in the Depart
ment of Justice "without compliance
' with the requirements of the civil serv
ice rules."
The order states that Mrs. Freeman
is the widow of Robert D. Freeman,
former prohibition agent “who met his
death while in the performance of his
official duties at San Francisco, Febru
ary 8, 1930."

TO FAIR IN FAIRFAX
Seventeenth Annual Exhibi
tion Opens With Many
Fine Displays.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
FAIRFAX, Va„ September 11.—The
seventeenth annual Fairfax County Fair
opened yesterday with exhibits that sur
prised even the most hopeful of the di
rectors. Predictions that there would
be no exhibits of farm crops due to the
unprecedented dry weather this year
were far from correct. While the dis
play is not an accurate picture of nor
mal abundance, it Is considered credit
able In view of the present farming de
pression.
Judging was completed in a number
of the departments yesterday afternoon.
The cattle and live stock will be judged
today by W. P. Sadler of Blacksburg.
