BONDSMAN TESTIFIES PEACE JUSTICE ASKED SPLIT ON FEES
MALFEASANCE
HEARING IN
UPROAR
Trial of Forestville Judge Is
Continued In Interests of
Further Data
The malfeasance hearing
against Justice of the Peace
John Downing, of Hyattsville,
Md., was continued until Janu
ary 19 by Justice Thomas D.
Griffith, of Forestville, to give
Milton W. Brewer, a bondsman
of Hyattsville and a witness
against Downing, time to fur
nish additional data demanded
by Arthur Keefer, attorney
for Downing.
At the hearing this morning
the small court in Forestville was
thrown into an uproar when N. G.
Dudrow. another bondsman wit
ness. declared he would have no
dealings before Judge Downing
because:
“At one time Judge Downing
demanded a 50-50 split on a
bond fee.”
Dudrow testified that when he
tried to bail out A, L. Moyer,
4304 Fourth St. N. W., Judge
Downing refused to take the ball
and said that Dudrow had been
drinking.
Moyer brought the malfeasance
charges against Judge Downing,
claiming he had been refused bond
on October 19 after he had been
arrested, charged with drunken
driving and reckless driving after
an accident near Beltsville, Md.
Moyer says that he was refused
bond until the following day. He
was found not guilty in Police
Court at Hyattsville.

WhenYourCough
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home
For coughs due to colds, the best
remedy that money could buy can easily
be mixed at home. It saves money and
?jves you the most reliable, quick-act
ng medicine you ever used. The way
it takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble at all to mix, and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
good—children really like it.
It is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes the inflamed membranes. At
the same time, part of the medicine
is absorbed into the blood, where it
acts directly on the bronchial tubes,
and helps the system throw off the
whole trouble. Even those severe
coughs which follow cold epidemics,
are promptly ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine is more helpful in cases of
severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

RIGHTTO WORK
AIM OF BILL
A bill giving legal recognition
to the worker’s right to work.”
and according each worker the
right to an equal share of existing
employment in his trade, will be
introduced today in the House of
Representatives by Representative
David J. Lewis (D.), of Maryland.
The measure, first of its kind
proposed, also provides for a co
related system of life, disability,
and accident insurance for all
workers: pensions and unemploy
ment Insurance.
The individual worker would
have a right, before the law. to
receive an equal share of all avail
able employment in his trade, the
measure requiring that in the
event of the reduction of employ
ment the reduction would be ap
plied pro-rata to the daily or
weekly time of all employes, rather
than by laying off some employes
and retaining others full time.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES
JOBS AID GROUP
DET BISHOP'S
PROGRAM
Rt. Rev. Freeman’* Plan Is to
Create Work and Supply
Food and Clothes
Plans for the creation of
work for Washington jobless in
the various parishes of the
Episcopal diocese were to be
made at a meeting today of a
women’s committee of the
diocese with officials of the
District employment committee
in the District Building.
The unemployment relief pro
gram. recently formulated by the
Right Rev. James E. Freeman,
bishop of Washington, was to be
outlined by Col. E. Goring Bliss,
chairman of the work creation
subcommittee, and Mrs. Clara W.
Smith, executive secretary of the
woman’s division of the District
committee.
According to Bishop Freeman’s
plans, the committee not only
will create work for the unem
ployed but also supply food and
other necessities.
Bishop Freeman, who believes
the present economic crisis to be
comparable to the world war
period, has urged Washington
women to perform organized sew
ing of clothing for the unem
ployed as they did for the Army
and Navy in 1917 and 1918.
LEAVEIIDENED
IN HOUSE BILL
Thirty days’ annual and 30
days’ sick leave with pay for all
employes of the Federal and Dis
trict governments was recom
mended by Representative, Wil
liam I. Sirovich (D.) of New
York in a bill introduced in the
Houe today.
Under certain conditions. Rep
resentative Sirovich pointed out.
certain clerks and employes under
Civil Service are not permitted to
enjoy the benefit of 30 days’ leave
and 30 days’ sick leave because
of the nature of their work.
The bill also provides that in
cases where limitation to 30 days’
sick leave would work a hardship
the heads of departments or off ice
should extend sick leave for rn
other 30 days with pay. but that
the pay should stop at the expira
tion of the 60 days’ sick leave
and the 30 days’ annual leave,
to which the employe is entitled.

Budget Chief’s Proposals That
Armory Drills Be Reduced
Opposed in Maryland
The Maryland National
Guard is in arms’ against the
recommendation of the director
of the budget that armory
drills and the complement of
enlisted men attending sum
mer camps be reduced.
Col. D. John Markey. First In
fantry. charges that the budget
director becomes an arbitrary
ruler when he recommends that
drills be reduced from 48 to 42
per year and that a maximum of
75 p?r cent of present enlisted
strength be admitted to summer
camps instead of the 100 per cent
as provided for in the national
defense act.
Other National Guard officers
say that the money saving will
be insignificant.
D. GTLOrBILL
HEARINGS NEAR
Considerable opposition to the
bill providing for the incorpora
tion of credit unions in Wash
mgton has developed and indi
cations are that the Senate Dis
tret Committee will hold a
sweeping hearing on the measure,
probably this week.
The Federation of Citizens As
sociations is among the organiza
tions that have expressed a de
sire to be heard.
Senator Arthur Capper (R.) of
Kansas, chairman of the District
committee, is the author of the
hill. Under its terms seven or
more persons may form a credit
union, which will receive savings
from its members and make loans
to them at 1 per cent per month
on the unpaid balance.
The bill provides that 25 per
cent of the capital is to be in
vested in building associations or
anything else legal for savings
banks.

W OUT OF
BASTILE
Ralph Lewis, Held In Liquor
Charge, Pulls Bars Off
Window to Escape
I’rying the bars off a first
floor window in the Fairfax
county jail, Wilbur Lewis, alias
Ralph Lewis, early yesterday
made his escape from the in
stitution.
The prisoner was serving a
term for illegal possession of
liquor. It is believed he was
spurred to escape on hearing the
sheriff held another warrant for
him on a felony charge.
This is the third jailbreak
within a year from the Fairfax
jail. In May four men broke
through the brick wall, but were
recaptured a few days later. In
November, four more escaped.
Two were recaptured.
CLASSIFICATION
FIGHT PUSHED
Furthering its oft-made plea
for classification of Government
employes in the field services, the
National Federation of Federal
Employes, in a statement today,
urged Congress to pass legislation
to this end at once for economic
reasons. The statement adds:
"The best interests of the
Government and of the tax
payers of the United States
would be served at this time by
the enactment of a thorough
going scientific system of per
sonal classification of Federal
employes.
"Because, as has been pointed
out repeatedly, classification
would bring a greater degree of
efficiency into the service and
render more effective the funds
spent for persona! services, the
enactment of such legislation is
especially desirable now.”
