The widening and improvement projects along the Belair road are being financed with Maryland's $3,500,000 direct grant from the Government through the Return Of Missing Child Eases Widow 's Worries Mother Of Eight Happy As Family Is Taken To Prolongs Probe In Job-Selling Federal Grand Jury Expects To Hear Twenty Additional Witnesses New evidence uncovered today dur ing the Federal grand jury investigation of alleged job selling here led the jury to request that it be excused from afternoon sessions, with the witnesses being examined only between 10 A M. and 1 P. M.

daily. According to reports from the office of United States District Attorney Simon E. Sobeloff, the new angle de veloped in the investigation will necessitate the calling of at least twenty new witnesses and will require at least four more days of grand jury sessions. It had been reported today that as soon as seven witnesses summoned during the night had appeared before the jury that the investigation would be closed. This plan was changed when the new developments became known.

The grand jury session started last Thursday and continued from 10 A. M. until late afternoon daily with the anticipation that the investigation would end each day. It is understood that the prolongation of the session was due largely to a number of per sons coming forward with the infor mation that they had been victims of the job-selling racket The investigations were started by Department of Justice agents working through the office of Mr. Sobeloff after United States Senator Millard E.

Tyd- ings had brought to the Federal prose cutor's attention reports he had re ceived that such a racket was being worked on job seekers in Maryland. Mr. Sobeloff is being assisted by Wil-ford T. McQuaid and James K. Cullen, asistant prosecutors.

Jackson said to day that the Federal Bureau of Pub lic Roads has "turned down flat" the plan to widen and improve Fayette street and two reasons were assigned for this action. These were: The congested area in the business section into which Fayette street leads makes it unfit, in the eyes of the Fed' eral bureau, as a link in a through highway for the swift movement of traffic. The cost of the work, estimated at more than $1,000,000, would go largely for the purchase of property for the right of way, and the Federal bureau opposes the expenditure of any large amount of its grant for anything other than construction. Refusei To Buy Land "The only chance I can see now for the widening of Fayette street," Mr. Jackson said, "lies in the possibility that some way may be devised under which we can do the work without the Federal money being expended for property.

I do not know whether such a plan can be worked out." The dictum of the Federal authori ties against Fayette street was an nounced at a conference yesterday in Washington attended by Thomas H. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads; Bernard L. Crozier, Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works of Baltimore, and Joseph W. Shirley, chairman of the City Plan Commission. After the city rep resentatives reported to Mayor Jack son, he said: Mr.

MacDonald said absolutely that he would not touch Fayette street. He said the Bureau of Public Roads would not approve any plan that required it to spend money for property." Other Routes Discussed It was learned that the Federal roads chief told Mr. Crozier and Mr. Shirley that the widening of Fayette street could not be construed as anything other than a local enterprise, and that it did not constitute the crosstown highway for the rapid movement of through traffic from the north and south that was desired. Several other routes for the crosstown highway were discussed, it was learned, but no action was taken concerning them.

One of the routes considered is that which would bring traffic from the north into the city on. Monument street and would require the construction of a viaduct in the neighborhood of that proposed for the Bath street viaduct The route would then follow Franklin street to the western limits of the city and a second viaduet would be needed to join the highway to the Washington boulevard. Other Plans Proposed The other plan would utilize Madi son street as a link from the Western section of the city to Monument street. and contemplates setting up a street parallel to Monroe, probably Fulton avenue, as a one-way tnorougmare leading to the Washington Boulevard. Only the Fayette street plan was discussed specifically, however, and Mr.

MacDonald told the city engineers that it was impossible because of the property cost and because it would dump traffic into the bottleneck of the midtown area where its movement would be ilow and uncertain. "I am ready to listen to any recom mendation, that Mr. Crozier has to make," Mr. Jackson said today, "but I cannot say what will be done until I talk to him." Mr. Crozier said that he was not pre pared to make a recommendation.

Mr, Jackson, who is in Atlantic City, is to return to Baltimore Monday. Mav Ask Reconsideration Before he returns, it was indicated. the city's engineers plan to study the possibilities of paying for the Fayette street widening with funds tc be oh tained from the State and not rom the Federal Government. If such a plan is found to be feasible, it was said, it is likely that it would be put before Mr. MacDonald in an attempt to persuade him to reconsider his rejection of Fay ette street A satisfactory adjustment of the financial problem, however.

would leave unsettled the objection made by the Federal authorities to the midtown congestion into which Fayette street leads. Rights of way along the route of the proposed widening, the city has esti mated, would cost $880,000. The actual paving would cost about $125,000. (. 5.

The stream of oil appeared at a still in operation in a line of twelve along Haven street, between Boston and O'Donnell streets.

It sprayed over a fire beneath the still and flame and smoke roared up. Pumps Drain Blazing Still An alarm was sounded by a still tender and within five minutes two more were rung in by Deputy Fire Chief William F. Liedlich, who headed the first detachment of firemen to reach the plant Pumps were turned on to drain the oil from the leaking and blaz ing still, while firemen turned chemi cals on the flames, and most of the fuel had been removed within a few min utes after the fire broke out. The out break was then quelled with little difficulty. Eight of the stills in the line of twelve were in operation when the fire started, but the firemen kept the flames from spreading.

HUSBAND'S COERCION PLEA VOIDS MARRIAGE Judge Grants Second Annul ment On'Ground Of Bigamy Two marriage annulments today were granted by Judge H.

Robins, of Somerset county, for laxity in seeking out the lynchers of George Arm-wood, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie today sent a telegram to Robins saying that the State policemen who were in Princess Anne the night of the lynching will be there again next Tuesday when the county grand jury reconvenes to take up the case. Summonses have been ordered ior the appearance before the Somerset county grand jury i.ext Tuesday of all witnesses of the Armwood lynching who were examined in Baltimore by Attorney General William Preston Lane after the commission of the crime last October 18.

About forty witnesses in all will be called before the jury. About eighteen of these witnesses are State policemen. Including Capt. Edward McK. Johnson and Lieut.

Ruxton Ridgely, who were questioned here by Mr. Lane, and there are about twenty other witnesses who live in Princess Anne or who were in the jail the night of the lynching. A letter informing the Attorney-General that the summonses have been ordered and urging his presence also in Princess Anne when the grand jury meets there to consider the Armwood case and others was sent him today by State's Attorney John B. Robins. Also Wants State Policemen The Somerset coun.y prosecutor asked Mr.

Lane to see, if possible, that all State policemen whom he 'sxam-ined as witnesses are available when the jury convenes and added that the summonses ordered are to be directed to the Sheriff of Baltimore city for service, as well as to the Sheriff of Somerset county. Mr. Robins 3ent other letters to Gov. Albert C. Ritchie and State Motor Vehicle Commissioner E.

S. Failed Mayor Howard W.

Jackson declared today at Atlantic City, where he is vacationing, that the financial condition of the municipal government will not permit it to appropriate funds for construction projects on which the Civil Works Administration would spend almost $1,000,000 in Baltimore. The Mayor renewed his statement that the municipal government stands ready to aid the Civil Works Administration in every way, but that it cannot afford to make appropriations for construction, whether under the CWA or otherwise. He revealed today for the first time, however, that he has been watching the progress of the Civil Works closely and would have been prepared to take steps for Unemployment relief if the CWA had been unable to find work for the jobless, Mayor Explains Policy Until a week ago the Civil Works Administration in Baltimore had filled only about half of the jobs allotted to the There were then pending before -the CWA authorities a number of projects recommended by the city which would have entailed the ex penditure of more than $1,000,000, but these were held up because the cost for materials was $200,000 In excess of the mount the Federal officials were will Ing to spend. A city appropriation was necessary to get these undertakings Started. Explaining the policy he has followed in connection with the CWA, Mayor Jackson said: "The CWA was started by the Federal Government to take the unem ployed off the relief rolls.

It was not started by the city of Baltimore. I or dcred that the city would cooperate in every way, including the furnishing of all the equipment the CWA needed that was not actually required in the work of the city government. Employment Increased 'If the officials of the Civil Works Administration had been unable to get enough projects and men remained out of work, that would have been the time for them to come to me. That has not been necessary." Work was provided today for 111 additional men, bringing to 16,010 the number actively engaged on projects under the supervision of the Civil Works Administration. In the last week the Civil Works Administration has put almost as many men at work as it did in nearly two months before.

There are now enough projects finally approved or awaiting final approval to give jobs to all of the 19,790 jobless in Baltimore's CWA quota, and the heads of the organization said today that all the jobs will be filled by the end of the week, Mr. Jackson pointed to this as making unnecessary further consideration of the municipal projects held up by the CWA engineers because of excessive costs for materials and, consequently, making it unnecessary for the city to discuss the appropriation of the money needed to start the Works. City Rejects Church Claim For Damages Engineer Reports Loch Raven Blasting Apparently Did Not Injurs Ashland Building Claims for recompense by the city for damages alleged to have been caused Ashland Presbyterian Church many years ago by blasting in con nection with the raising of Loch Raven dam were rejected by the Board of Estimates today. The Rev. Lawrence R.

Waddell, pas tor of the church, told the board sev eral weeks ago that the congregation realized claims now were technically barred by the statute of limitations, but that it was the hope of the church members that the city would pay for repairs as a matter of equity. A report submitted by Chief Engineer Bernard L. Crozier and City Solicitor R. E. Lee Marshall today was to the effect that no evidence existed of damage that could be traced to the blasting.

Richardson, a former mem ber of the old first branch City Council and until last March a clerk and assistant cashier in the Circuit Court No. 2, today was presented by the grand jury on a charge of embezzlement from the court. The grand jury presentment charged Richardson with "feloniously embezzling the sum of $5,420.12 current money, while employed in the capacity of cashier, servant, agent and clerk by John Pleasants, clerk of the Circuit Court No.

2." Richardson's bail was set at $10,000 by Judge Robert F. Stanton. Richardson lives in the 2500 block East Biddle street. He was appointed as a clerk and assistant cashier in the court clerk's office in the fall of 1926 and was a protege of William I. Norris, former State Senator and East Baltimore Democratic leader.

State's Attorney Herbert R. O'Conor and Asistant State's Attorney John A. Sherman, appeared before the grand jury with witnesses in the case. Those named as witnesses on the grand jury presentment were Mr. Pleasants; Charles A.

McNabb, chief deputy court clerk and cashier of the Cireuit Court No. 2: State Auditor Edmund R. Stewart and Deputy State Auditor John A. Dougherty. It was said that sums received in payment of court costs in connection with the assistant cashiership had been withheld and that the alleged irregularities were hidden by with holding entries from the court books temporarily and then entering the items up with, check marks in imi tation of the checks made by auditors who periodically inspected the books.

In a statement issued by Mr. O'Conor when the matter was taken before the grand jury, the prosecutor said: "The monies involved were received in payment of court costs and, accord ing to the information in my posses sion, the defalcations were covered up by erroneous entries in the court dockets which were Inserted in order to indicate that the costs were proper ly recorded and that the respective items had been audited and checked by the State Auditor of Maryland. The misapplications covered a period of several years prior to March 15, 1933, when Richardson services in the clerk's office were dispensed with." Mr, O'Conor stated that the case had been placed before him yesterday by Mr. Pleasants. Auditors had been en gaged for several months in check of the court accounts.

Radcliffe, recording secretary of the Maryland Tercentenary Commission, will ask President Roose velt, whom he knows personally, to issue an order authorizing a special series of United States postage stamps in commemoration of the three hun dredth anniversary of the settlement of Maryland. This became known today when George R. Call is, a member of the executive committee of the tercentenary commission, made public a letter which he had sent to Mr. Radcliffe following a conversation last Saturday when the commission's record ing secretary agreed to carry a request for a commemorative stamp is sue to the President.

Petition PresenH "Our formal petition was placed be- Lfore the Postmaster-General by Sen ator Ty dings last July, and about 5,000 letters of indorsement were received by Mr. Farley from most every civic, fraternal, social, philatist and patriotic organization in the State, as well as many prominent individuals, includ ing the Governor," said Mr, Callis in his letter to Mr. Radcliffe. "Special resolutions from the Maryland State Senate and the House of Delegates were adopted at their recent session, and they have been formally presented, i "I was informed in September that no decision on an approval could be given until the first of January, 1934, and in my recent inquiry for a decision from the Postmaster-General, I was informed the President had issued an order that no commemorative stamps could be issued without an Executive order. Nearlng Historic Date "We are fast approaching the his toric date of the first landing at St.

Clements (ne Blakistone) Island, when the stamps should be in circulation to gain the significance of their commemorative feature, and unless some action is taken at once it will not be possible to cover the mechanical stages of the stamps for issuance before March 25. I am sure that if you would impress upon the President the deep interest of our people in having these commemorative tamps, as evi denced by their written endorsements, and that it will be the first time the Government has ever given recognition of the historic events of our State in the issuance of special stamps, and that this ancient event is separated only by a few years with that of Massachusetts and Virginia who were both favored with special stamps i their, three hundredth birthday. "The early, history of, Maryland's beginning, forms an illuminating preface to the early history of our country, exceeding the proudest boast that any State can make. "We might also remind the President, that the State of Maryland has not asked the Government to expend any sum of money to join us in this celebration, as our sister States were favored in their celebrations, and we have conducted our celebration on an international scope, reflecting to the credit and glory of the nation. Ilit-And-Run Terrier Sends Pedestrian To Hospital A hit-and-run bull terrier this afternoon put Joseph J.

Lindner, who lives in the 4400 block Wilkens avenue, went down and the dog went on, thereby laying itself open to charges of failing to stop after an accident as well as not displaying license plates.

Her 10-year-old daughter, Clara, missing for twenty- four hours, was safe. Mrs. Regis was sure of that, at least. Mrs. Regis, a Greek, is almost unable to speak English.

The police found her, with seven of her eight children, huddled in an entrance of the Lafayette Avenue Market Who were they; where had they come from? Mrs. Regis couldn't make them understand.

All were taken to the Northwestern Police Station and provided food and shelter. The first ray of light was cast by an old newspaper clipping, which showed TO MOVE FOUNTAIN FROM CALVERT ST.

City Prepares For Repaving Under Federal Aid Program Preliminary to the repaving of Cal vert street between Fayette and Lexington the stone drinking fountain for horses in this block near Battle Monument is to be moved to Montgomery and Sharp streets, it was disclosed at a meeting of the Board of Estimates today. Paving of this block is one of sev eral street improvement jobs to be carried out as items of the city's Fed eral-aid program. Bids on the Calvert street paving were opened today by the State Roads Commission. The work is to start within the next week or so. At the meeting of the city board it developed that the new location for the fountain was decided upon as be ing a place where it would be more useful.

In its present location It is kept filled with water only during the summer. During the rest of the year it is practically inaccessible to horses because machines are parked closely around it Erected By 8. P. A. It was erected by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals many years ago with funds from an anonymous donor who is mentioned in an inscription on the fountain as "A Friend of Animals." Informal bids were obtained by George Cobb, highways engineer, on the moving of the fountain.

Letting the contract to the concern making the lowest proffer was approved by the estimates body. Bids on two other paving jobs which are part of the street program here to be carried out with Federal funds also were opened by the Roads Commission. They call for the improvement of Belvedere avenue from Roland ave nue to Charles street and Cold Spring lane from Charles street to Reservior avenue. MARRIAGE LICENSES HETT WILLS. Ralph H.
