DAVISON DISCLAIMS
OTTAWA REPORT
“Unfortunate Impression” Is
Drawn From His Address on
Citizens’ Groups, He Says.
Acting Engineer Commissioner Don
ald A. Davison said today an unfor
tunate impression had been drawn from
an address he made in Ottawa. Canada,
on February 6 in which he was quoted
in a dispatch from a correspondent of
The Star in Ottawa as declaring that
“the 50 citizens’ associations of Wash
ington are at times a great nuisance
with their man;/ resolutions.”
Commenting on a letter to the West
End Citizens' Association and an ad
dress he made to the Georgetown Pro
gressive Association last night in which
he declared that ' v/hat he said was
quite’the contrary.” Maj. Davison made
the following statement to The Star
today;
"Since I was not quoted I cannot
say that I was misquoted, but the im
pression given out here of my remarks
was unfortunate.
Regrets Use of ‘Nuisance.’
‘‘It is true that I used the word
•nuisance' in connection with our citi
sens’ associations, but the word was
removed from its context, and I re
gret that I ever used it. What I said
was that the autonomy a citizen of the
District has is expressed through his
citizens’ association, and that these as
sociation very seldom make nuisanae*
of themselves. Occasionally they do
so when, after the Commissioners come
to the very best decision they can upon
& subject, the citizens’ associations nev
ertheless continue to adopt resolutions
in opposition.
*1 certainly never said that the Dis
trict Commissioners were non-residents
of the District and therefore impartial.
I have known for 10 years that the
civilian Commissioners must be select
ed from among residents of the Dis
trict. and I said so. and a copy of a
Canadian paper I have at home, which
Reported my speech, bears me out.
Plays Host to Administration.
“I said that there was very little for
a citizen of the United States to say in
favor of taxation without representa
tion and that no doubt my hosts would
remember that this was the occasion of
the first of our international parties.
But the Constitution of the United
States provided that the seat of the
Government should be under control of
Congress and made no provision for
congressional representation. I said
that one thing which might be said in
favor cf the situation was that the
National City is the host to the national
administration, and a host should al
ways be non-partisan and impartial.
"I did not read my speech. I had
previously made a memorandum of
about a dozen points which I wanted
to stress, but the words as they were
delivered were extemporaneous.”
POLICE COMMENDED
FOR HOLD-UP CAPTURES
Work of Two Headquarters Of
ficers, Detective and Private
Praised.
Two headquarters detective sergeants,
a precinct detective and a private were
commended yesterday by Commissioner
Herbert B. Crosby and Inspector Prank
S. W. Burke for their work in capturing

thereof.’’ who robbed E. M. Morning
star. taxi driver, and drove off in his
cab into Rock Creek Park.
The detective sergeants and Tomp
kins captured the trio after the latter
had abandoned the taxicab, and one
of the men had drawn a pistol and
attempted to fire at the officers. The
pistol jammed
Inspector Burke also praised Sergt.
Lewis and Precinct Detective J. A.
Shimon for their apprehension of a
gang or seven colored men responsible
for taxicab hold-ups.
Grass on Mountain
Notifies Indians to
Expect Good Crops
By the Associated Press. j
PHOENIX. Aria., February 17.—
Ancient Indian weather and crop
lore stirred Redmen today to
scratch the soil in preparation
for a big com crop. Tempe Butte
was green with grass.
Before the white man came to
Arizona the Indians gauged their
plantings with the early verdure
of Tempe Butte, a small moun
tain. 9 miles east of Phoenix.
Winter is over, say the Indians,
when grass appears among the
rocks of the Butte. If the grass
is scant, then crops will not pros
per. A heavy growth of gTass
forecasts good "growing weather.”
RADIO PROBE CONTINUES
OTTAWA. Ontario, February 17 C4>).—
\ Further inquiry Into radio broadcast
I ing, as to whether it will be under pri
vate or public control, will be made by
a parliamentary committee, Premier
Bennett told the House of Commons
yesterday.
Bennett added that present radio
i conditions were "not satisfactory" and
: that the recent action of the Privy
: Council in vesting control of radio with
the Dominion left the government free
; to institute such measures as might
appear practicable.
The objective of further Inquiry, he
said, was “to devise a scheme that
i would be unexcelled” in broadcasting.

Charles Bastable, to treat a man sud
denly stricken ill.
Dr. Bastable was ordered suspended
yestenlay by the executive board of the
hospital as the result of a report by a
sixth precinct policeman that he had
left Samuel Podell. 45. of 909 Decatur
street Monday night without adminis
tering treatment after the sick man had
complained the Emergency ambulance
was "late'’ In answering his call.
According to the report of the po
liceman. W. C. Allen, Dr. Bastable re
torted: "If that’s the way you feel
about it you' can get your own doctor.”
then picked up his satchel and left the
house without examining Podell. The
sick man later was removed to the hos
pital In a police patrol summoned by
Officer Allen. An emergency operation
for hernia was found neceasary when
the man reached the hospital.
In the other case—that of Joseph
Sisk, Baltimore News reporter, who died
at Galllnger Hospital February 3, five
days after being transferred from Emer
gency Hospital In a patrol wagon, the
surgical staff exonerated another In
terne of charges of mishandling the
case. On the Emergency Hospital re
port the Interne had diagnosed the
condition of Sisk, who was Injured In
an automobile accident, as "intoxica
tion, possible fractured vertebrae,
abrasion of the left elbow.”
Sisk died of a fractured pelvis, frac
tured ribs, punctured lungs and bron
chial pneumonia, according to the re
port at Galllnger Hospital.
In so far as the Interne in the Sisk case
is concerned, the executive board of the
hospital considers the matter closed,
according to Supt. B. B. Sandidge, who
said today "we see no reason to take
further action.”
However, both cases will be consla
srea jointly by the Public Health Bub
sommittee, according to Senator Cope
land. Among those asked to testify,
Senator Copeland said, are officials of
emergency and Galllnger Hospitals,
Public Welfare Director George 8. Wil
son and members of the Police De
partment.
