The raids ylelded six prisoners, about 800 gallons of alleged liquor, 5,000 gallons of mash and much paraphernalla in confunction with the stills. The two stills in which bell alarms, operated from a lookout post in a nearby tree, failed to function, were found In a tunnel running under a harn, about 25 yards from the District line on Sheriff road, Md. Acting on information from Capt Bur- lingame, Revenue Agent T. E. Hart- man trapped four colored men in the tunnel when he led a squad of Mary land police to a hole about 20 yards from the barn, which was the only means of escape. Trial in Oxon Hill of d on charges of manufac- ture and possession resulted in Robert Cross, George Butler and David Blake being fined $150 and costs each. while the fourth man, Jack Evans, was fined $1 and costs. The raiders seized 200 gallons of alleged lliquor and two automobiles. From here the raiders had to move only 100 yards farther up Sheriff road to seize a 500-gallon still in the home of Joseph Ruppard, who was taken to Oxon Hill and fined $200 and costs on charges of manufacture and posses- sfon. Liquor, mash and an automo- bile were seized in this raid also.

Grant, executive officer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission, that a bridle path be included in the construction of the new bridge in view of the fact that there is prob- ably more horseback riding in Washington than in any other city of its size in the United States. The Secretary cited the numer: ous cavalry escorts which are re- quived for ceremonies in this city which now must ss the river over either the Key bridge or the Highway bride, and no tacilities for such traffic is provided on either bridge. Many civilians Hy- ing in Washington use thelr mounts on the Virginla side of the river, he pointed out, and also called attention to the fact that the National Capital Horse Show holds its meets every year at Arlington and that the Rock Creek Hunt Club frequently holds meets on the Virginia side of the Poto- mac. Secretary ‘Davis added that the location of the new memorial bridge s such that were a bridle path included as one of its fea- tures it could readily be linked up with the bridle-path system in Po- tomac and Rock Creek Parks. — THIEF TAKES $250 FROM RESTAURANT Seizes Stack of Bills in Temporary Absence of Cashier—Two Churches Report Robberies. Taking advantage of a momentary absence of the cashier of Childs' Res- taurant, 1423 Pennsylvania avenue, from a stack of money she was count- ing yesterday afternoon, an unidenti- fied young man quickly pocketed $250 in bills of $5 denomination and dis- appeared before the theft was dis- covered. Mrs. Fay W. Doty, the cashier, had been counting the receipts and was called to the other end of the cashier's counter to receive payment from a patron. Mrs. Fay recalled there was a young man at each end of the counter at that time. When she re- turned to the money she discovered the loss. The theft was engineered in full view of the dining room. Detectives Brodie and Varney were furnished with good descriptions of the two men. This is the second time within several months that the restaurant has been robbed, the first occasion be- ing when a young man snatched $500 from the counter and fled. only to be captured a short distance awa Two churches were robbed yester- day. A bottle of wine for communion service was taken from the West- minster Memorial Presbyterian Church, near Seventh and E streets southwest, together with $5, accord- ing to a report to the police by Levy D. DePue, secretary. Rev. F. X. Bischoff, pastor of the Church of the Nativity, Brightwood, reported the theft of $8 from an of- fering box. 5 BROSSARD .OUIZZED ON TARIFF ACTIVITY | Nominee to Commission Asked by Senators About Connection With It Before Last July.

Romano and Anthony Catucci of New York, trading as the ‘R, & C. Trucking Co. The plaintiffs seek to prevent the officials from awarding a contract to the Erie Basin Transfer Co. Through ~Attorneys Matthews & Trimble the court is told that on May 26 the Treasury Department adver- tised for bids for trucking services from steamship piers in New York to Government warehouses and the plaintiffs submitted the lowest bid. Despite this fact, it is charged, the officlals have notifled the plaintiffs that the bid of the Erie Co., the only other bidder, has been accepted, and the contract is about to be awarded. | MRS.GARVEY’S WILL FILED Names Great-Grandchildren Heirs, With Niece as Executrix.

BY ROBERT T. SMALL. When Senator Jim Reed's apecial in- vestigating committee goes to Chi- cago next month to delve into the Illinols senatorial primary of last April, it will soon have before it one of the most interesting angles of the whole primary situation—one which may have a serious effect upon the future of the primary system. It is currently and commonly re- ported in Illinois that there was much “glving” in the primary fight, much ‘‘donating” of funds to various organ- izations, religious, charitable and The question at once nd will have to be deter- mined first of all by the senatorial committee and perhaps later by the courts——as to whether or not dona- tions made by a man who is openly in the race for the Senats or who is about to announce his candidacy are to be considered as a part of his “‘cam- palgn” or can be ‘*written off” as mere acts of charity or benevolence? According to Illinois rumors, which the writer encountered on many sides, a considerable part of the sums which one of the senatorial candidates there spent in his fight went to organiza- tions as gifts. Just how much political support the donor received in return for the benevolences no one knows or can know. Million in Donations. Some of the estimates around Chi- cago are 1o the effect that at least $1,- 000,000 was disposed of in this manner and will have to be taken into con- sideration if Illinois is to class with Pennsylvania as a $3,000,000 Republi; can primary State. As in Penns: vania, no charges are heard in Illinois as to what the Democrats spent. George Brennan, the Democratic boss of Chicago, won the Democratic nomination, and it is assumed he didn't have to spend very much for it. Nobody else was serlously considered. Furthermore, it may be stated just here that Mr. Brennan is making a good campaign—a fight which is gain- ing speed all the time, and which is expected to get fully under way after the disclosures which follow the ses- slon of the Reed committee in Chi- cago. The chances are the committee will remain long by the lake. Members of the staffs of both Sena- tor Willlam B. McKinley, who lost out in his fight for renomination, and Col. Frank L. Smith, who won the nomi- nation after one of the bitterest fights on record, admit that “a lot of money” was spent in the primaries. It had to be spent,” they explain; “there was no other way to arouse the voters. In Illinois we do not have the pald watchers at the polls, as they seem to have had without number in Pennsylvania, but just the same it is necessary in a State this size to have an organization in every county. That is what the primary requires if you are to have a respectable showing at the polls. Votes Follow Campaign. “If there 1s no widespread cam- paign in a primary, there is no vote to speak of. Therefore, you do not get a reflection of the views or senti- ments of the people. The voters would stay at home. Some of them might not know that a primary was being held. It is far more expensive to con- duct a primary than a regular cam- paign. For the regular election the people are prepared. They know the dates. It is necessary to keep prod- ding them all the time about pri- maries. If the people want primaries to continue and want to have even a fair percentage of the possible vote cast in the primaries, then there is no way to avoid the spending of huge sums of money.” Both Senator McKinley and Col. Smith had been conducting their fight for the senatorial nomination for a year or more. Here, again, the Senate investi- gating committee will have to con- sider how far back a primary begins. Does it start with the formal an- nouncements or with the known ac- tivities of the men involved? A de- cision on this question will mean much as to the cost of the Illinois fight. The expenses there—the big ex- penses-—were spent or ‘‘donated” over a long period of time. It was a bulld- ing-up process. That is what a pri- mary machine means—and it is just about the most expensive piece of po- litical machinery ever devised. The 1llinois Republicans think thelr family fight won't cut so much ice after the Pennsylvania disclosures, but there are angles to the Illinois affair which are even more interest- ing than the Keystone calamity. District Body Will Meet in Ta- koma Baptist Church—Mrs. Shelton to Preside. The Woman's Christian Temperance Unlon of the District of Columbia will hold its quarterly convention in the Takoma Baptist Church tomorrow from 10 until 4 o'clock. The principal address will be de- livered at the morning session by Alvin W. Miller, principal of Central High School, on “Our High School Girls and Boy! while Lieut. Mina Van Winkle of the Police Women's Bureau will be the principal speaker at the afternoon session. Addresses will be delivered also by Miss Helen Pigeon and Rev. Dr. Willlam E. La Rue, pastor of the church. Dr. Lauretta Kress, president of the Takoma Park W. C. T.

C. T. U. fund. “Mr. X" went around where liquor was sold, and then passed on. Two other men followed, and made a case. Wright said there had been 270 such casés. ‘When Wright mentioned another under-cover man, Senator Reed desig- nated him as “Mr. Y.” He got $200 a month and expenses, all paid out of the W. C. T. U. fund.” He had two assistants at $150 a month each, the salaries coming out of “Mr. Y's” ex- pense account, but the witness with- held their names. “Then we wil designate them as ‘Mr. Z.' and ‘Mr. Zero,' said Reed.” Tatro Was Commissioned. Tatro was the only one who was commissfoned under the State. Letters were put into the record showing that Charles J. Rhoades of Brown Bros. & Co. of Philadelphia be- came treasurer of the W. C. T. U. fund at the request of Gov. Pinchot. ‘Writing to Rhoades in August, 1923, Pinchot said the fund would be audit- ed once a year by a committee he would appoint. Vouchers were to be obtained for all payments, the gov- ernor sald, and “held confidentfally, but available for audit when arranged by me, so as to avoid a possibility of disclosing any law enforcement work prematurely.” Wright produced a batch of vouch- ers. Reed picked out one expense ac- count showing that an investigator spent $75 obtaining drinks from Sep- tember 17 to October 3, 1912, including cover charges at the Paradise cabaret and the Martinique cabaret in Phila- delphia. Kept Sober on Job. “Did these men keep sober drinking that much a day?” inquired Senator Goff, Republican, West Virginia. ““Oh, yes,” Wright sald. He explained that the men usually went in threes and one paid all the bill. “In other words you violated the law to enforce the law,” Reed said. “As you know, the courts have held that it is not a violation when you do that to catch law violators” said ‘Wright, “I know of no other way you can get the evidence.” The committee adjourned until 10 a.m. tomorrow, when Wright's exam- ination will be resumed. ILLINOIS LEADERS DENY SLUSH. Declare Charge of $3,000,000 Cam- paign Made in Senate Ridiculous. CHICAGO. June 28 (#).—-Charges that $3.000,000 was spent in the Illi- nols senatorial primary, called to the attention of the Senate by Senator Caraway of Arkansas, have been met with emphatig denlals from several of the principals named in connection with the alleged collection and distri- bution of money. Others, including Samuel Insull, public utility head, have declined te comment. Mr. Insull was charged with hav- ing contributed $300,000 to the cam- paign fund of Col. Frank L. Smith, who defeated Senator Willlam B. Mc- Kinley, sald he would not talk on the subject. “My reaction to newspaper stories which I have read is just as though I had never read them,” he said. Senator McKinley, confined to his home in Washington by iliness, like- wise declined to comment on the charge that he had spent $1,000,000 in his unsuccessful campaign, while Col. Smith, in a hospital here follow- ing a recent major operation, has not been permitted even to read the newspapers. Allen F. Moore, his cam n man- ager, sald: “We will wel an in- vestigation. Charges that we spent $2,000,000 are too ridiculous to an- swer.” Willlam Culver, an officer of the Illinols Commerce Commission, of which Col. Smith is chairman, as- serted that Senator Caraway was taking advantage of Col. Smith's ill- | ness and Is spreading false, insidious propaganda aimed at only one object— that 1s, to polson the minds of yoters against Col. Smith.

Moving activities in three Govern- ment departments swung into concen- trated action today with the first big transfer of the triple movement, in- volving the Bureau of Mines of the Commerce Department, the Bureau of Pensions of the Interior Department and the General Accounting Office of the Treasury Department. The entire equipment of the mines bureau was moved today from the quarters it has occupied for niany years, In the east wing of the Interior Building, to offices in the Winder Building, at Seventeenth and F streets. This move affects about 200 employes. At the same time a force of workmen started moving the files and office equipment of the Pension Bureau from the Pension Building, at Fifth and G streets, into the Interior Building, while simultaneously the equipment of the General Accounting Office was being transferred from the bullding on New York avenue near Eighteenth street . to the Pension Building. Much of the office equip- ment of the accounting office was moved to the third floor of the Pen- slon Building last week. The Gen- eral Accounting Office move will take several weeks, on account of the vast amount of files and office material, while the Pension Office move will be completed In a few days.
