Knee-Hi's Crusade
Inspires Girl, 10,
To Write Poem
Traffic-Wise Terrier
Gives Safety Lesson
To 800 Children
Reading about Knee-Hi's safety ,
lessons in The Star has inspired 10- !
year-old Edith Harper of 55 M
street N W. to write a poem about
the traffic-wise little terrier. And
yesterday, wThile Knee-Hi w-as teach
ing 800 children of the Blake and
St. Alovsius Schools at North Capi
tol and K streets the A B Cs of
safety, Edith, who is in the sixth
grade of the Blake School, read the
following:
"Knee-Hi's a very smart traffic dog,
Who teaches us in rain and fog.
And tells us when to go and stop,
Just like our friend the traffic cop.
‘He yaps and pulls on children's
hair
Whenever they do something wrong.
Because he thinks that they don't
care
But Knee-Hi doesn't get the gong.
“When children play and skate in i
the street
You won't find Knee-Hi on the beat.
For hitching rides on backs of cars
Will surely leave yon lots of scars.”
After w’atching Knee-Hi express
her violent disapproval of bicyclists
riding on the wrong side of the
street and of children playing foot
ball in the middle of the street, a
resounding "yes” from the assem
bled group answered Dr. George E.
Brunson, her teacher, when he
asked if the children wanted a pic
ture of the canine.
Even the weather co-operates with
the wire-haired fox terrier in her
safety lessons, according to An
nouncer Jack Dalton. Since Knee
Hi started her safety series in Sep
tember she's been rained out only
jnce, he said.
Miss Mildred Green, principal of
the Blake School, praised Knee-Hi
for her “splendid lessons” and ex
pressed confidence that the chil
iren would pay much more atten
tion to traffic officers and observe
safety rules in the future.
Knee-Hi is sponsored by The Star
in co-operation w-ith the Board of
Education, the Police Department j
md the Department of Vehicles
ind Traffic.

Last night he returned and stole

Warrant 1$ Issue
In Case Involving
Six-Hour Writ Law
Official Contends None
Was Filed for Man
Suing Police Heads
The status of an unserved war
rant may prove to be an all-im
portant factor in the case of James
F. Donovan, who has sued Maj.
Ernest W. Brown, superintendent
of police, and Chief of Detectives
Bernard W. Thompson for alleged
violation of the "six-hour writ" law.
Justice Nathan Cayton ruled Mon
day in Municipal Court that the
case must stand trial in that court
on December 11.
Without attempting to pass on
the validity of the six-hour law or
of the practice of the police in hold
ing prisoners without charges for
more than six hours, Judge Cayton
overruled a motion by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Chester Gray to
dismiss the suit, under which Dono
van seeks to collect $500 from the
police officials.
The District Code, title 24, sec
tion 205, provides:
“Any person committed or de
tained. or any person in his behalf
may demand a true copy of the war
rant of commitment or detainer, and
any officer or other person detain
ing him who shall refuse or neg
lect to deliver to him a true copv
of the warrant or detainer, if any !
there be, within six hours efter the
demand, shall forfeit to the party so
detained the sum of $500."
Donovan was picked up August 12
for questioning In a $227 restaurant
holdup and held for 45 hours, while
police officials allegedly failed to
honor a copy of a six-hour writ filed
by his attorney, James J. Laughl’n,
who demanded that Donovan either
be released or specific charges
brought against him. The officials
ignored the writ on the ground that
no warrant had been issued to Don
ovan, hence none could be shown
him upon his attorney’s demand.
Argument before Judge Cayton
revealed that a warrant for Dono
van's arrest had been sworn out
August 11 by Detective Sergt. Ernest
E. Thompson before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage
and filed in the United State’s mar
shal’s office, to be executed by a
deputy of that office. After failing
to locate Donovan, the warrant was
returned to the marshal’s files,
marked "not to be found." Police,
making their own investigation, ap
prehended Donovan, although no
police warrant had been made out.
The warrant on file in the mar
shal’s office was to inform other Jur
isdictions that Donovan was wanted
here. Mr. Gray pointed out.
Gray Refers to Clause.
Mr. Gray asked that the case be
dismissed because, he contended, the
Municipal Court had no jurisdiction,
and that it was impossible lor the
police officials to comply with the
code provision because there was no
warrant filed. Mr. Gray referred to
the provision In the statute, “if any
there be,” as the basis for that plea.
Judge Cayton, however, ruled that
the Municipal Court had Jurisdic
tion over all civil cases of $500 or
less and that the commitment paper
(the warrant sworn to by Detective
Sergt. Thompson) was sufficient evi
dence for the case to come to trial
and be judged on its merits.
No comment on Judge Cayton's
ruling was available at police head
quarters today. Maj. Brown has
been absent from the city since last
Saturday, attending convention ses
sions of the International Associa
tion of Chiefs of Police at Chicago.
He will not return to his office until
Monday.
