This was i reau Measure. made known at a meeting of the al- llance in' the Women's University Club yesterday, when a resolution was adopted to send a request to Senator L. Helsler Ball, chairman of the Senate District committee, ask- ing that such a hearing be heid. Fear was expressed that the bill may give too unlimited power to the proposed bureau for dealing with women and children. It was inti- mated that the bureau, with the powers which might be vested in it, would perhaps be able to hold wom- en and children for investigation for an almost unlimited time when ther: would be no specific charges against them. It was pointed out that the proposed bill provides that the bu- reau would have the power “to in- vestigate neighborhood conditions.” Seek Action om Bread. Another resolution was adopted to request the rulgs committees of both the House and Senate to report out of committee the proposed bill for the standardization of the weight of loaves of bread. The alliance is anx- ious for the proposed measure to come to a vote. A aiscussion of budget systems for housekeepers brought out that many housekeepers have been enabled to serve meals of a high order with a budget system figured at $15 per month per person. Miss Greta Gray, an expert from the Bureau of Home Economics, Depart- ment of Agriculture, who specializes on a study of the interior arrange- ments in homes, spoke on the impor- tance of things within the home be- ing arranged so as to save the house- keeper as many uUnnecessary steps as possible. Miss Ilena M. Bailey reported that charts are being made to show the amount of time occupled by the average housekeeper in performing different duties within the home. Criticism of the present form of the DbY! to establish the Woman's Bureau of the Police Department on & legisla- tive basis was registered yesterday by the District of Columbia Congress ©of Parent-Teacher Associations. A resolution, presented by Mrs. E. R}Kalmbach, chairman of the Juvenile Court committee of the congress was adopted, calling upon the District Commissioners to withhold heir ap- ptoval of the bill until after the re- pdrt of the Public Welfare Code Com- myssion. ost interests of children of the strict, the resolution stated, could “o served by having all preliminary investigations before court action e by the Juvenile Court or Board of Children’s Guardians.” The bill, it was said, gives_such “investigating pawer to the Woman's Bureau, a bwanch of the Police Department, which we fear is a dangerous en- croachment upon the rights of chil- dren of the District of Columbia.” | Explains Inquiries. Miss Josephine Roche, director of special studies, Children’s Bureau, De- partment of Labor, explained the work of that bureau, especially the irivestigations being made.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, February 18.—With two women charging him with bigamy, Hymad Dunn, 34, was brought here yesterday by New York detectives, who arrested him when he was released from Leavenworth prison, Kansas. In 1922 Dunn was charged with grand larceny. When his case was called for trial it was found he had jumped his $1,000 bail and deserted his first wife, Minnie Gloub, as she was about to become a mother. A year later he married Irene Mymo- witz, a factory worker, it is alleged, got her savings of 00 and dls- appeared. On_her complaint he was indjcted for bigamy. Nineteen month§ ago he was traced to El Paso, Tex. When New York police went there to arrest him they found that he had evaded them by surrendering to Federal authorities, who charged him with violating the Mann act. His sentence for this crime expired recently and detectives were awaiting him when he left, the prison. BANDITS WORK RUSE. Special Dispatch to The Star.
