VICTIM IN RAID DIES. | Officers Say Ohio Man Was at Still and Began Shooting. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio, February 1 (®).—A gun battle near here between alleged moonshiners and combined State and Federal dry officers re- sulted last night in the death of Dick Cooper, 22, in a hospital. Offi- cers declared they found Cooper at a stfll and that he and a companion, who escaped, opened fire when they saw the raiders approaching. Upper Twin Creek, where the fight occurred, has been the scene of numerous battles between dry forces and moonshiners. CHICAGO IS CLAIMING TITLE FOR BATHTUBS Citizens Apparently Bathe More Than Those of Any Other Center, Is Boast. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, February 1.—Chicago is making another splash for fame. The city has more bathtubs for its popula- tion than any other in the world, and. either from necessity or from cholee, its citizens bathe more often and more diligently than any other. The figures were produced by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, city health commissloner, after he learned that the General Federation of Woman's Clubs in a recent report said there were not-as many bath tubs in big cities as might be believed Chicago, health department housing experts boasted, has 700000 families and 90 per cent of them have modern bathing facilities. Last vear the city used an average of 278 gallons of water each day for every man, woman and child, the records showed, and the health department figured that a lot of this went for baths. .

It should be recalled that two very large items in the 1927 ap- propriations are completed projects for that year and do ar for 28. These items for completion of the acquisition of Jand for the_extension of the Capitol Grounds and $400,000 for the com- pletion of the additional bookstack structure in the court of the Library of Congress. The two aggregate $1,- 731,958.37, and when eliminated from the comparisons with 1927 appropria tions, <he bill for 1928 shows an ac- tual increase over 1927 of $275,468.36. Botanic Garden Figures. The amounts for the Botanic Garden are recommended in the sums for the current year, with the exception of $1,873 increase under salaries to care for promotions in accordance with the classification act and $500 under the general maintenance fund, bringing the total for 1928 for all expenses of the Botanic Garden to $127,217. The committee has eliminated $10,000 from the maintenance estimate and $7,090 for additional positions from the sal- ary estimate. Appropriations for the Government Printing Office customarily carried in this bill are recommended in the same amounts except for the following: The separate paragraph heretofore carried for the office of the Public Printer is merged with the fund for the working capital and carried there, with a limitation on expenditure which is the same as the appropriation for the current year. A proposal was pre sented to the committee to take from under the classification act those employes covered thereunder in the Government Printing Office, approxi- mately 400, and place them for salary fixing purposes under the Kiess act with the remainder of the force, num bering approximately 3,700. The com mittee is unable to find in the Kiess act any definite expression of applica. tion of that act to the portion of employes which prior to that act were included under and paid accord ing to the classification act. The pay status, therefore, of employes re- mains as it is for the current year, with the two acts applicable as they have been in the past. Increase in Salary Item. Under the office of superintendent of documents there is a decrease of $8,400 in printing expenses and otber miscellaneous items and an increase of $37,950 in the appropriation for sal- aries. Larger appropriations are made to cover salaries of Senate and House employes on account of their longer terms during the first session of the Seventiethi Congress. A clerk to the official reporters of debates in the House at $2,750 per annum is provided. The appropriation for furniture in- cludes a fourth installment of $10,000 for reconstruction of office cabinets | in the House Office Building and for the conversion of roll-top desks into flat-top desks. A survey of floor cover- ings in rooms of the House Office Building under the direction of the! clerk of the House discloses that ap- proximately 250 floor coverings have been in service since the building was first occupied, 20 years ago. To pro- vide replacements in every case would | require between $35.000 and $40,000. The committee is recommending the reappropriation of an unexpended bal- | ance in the contingent fund for ex- penses of special and select comm tees, estimated to be approximatel $25,000, to be expended toward these replacements during the next fiscal ar. ~ The 25 new employes for the Li- brary of Congress are to be dis- tributed and their salaries allocated as_follow: Lit proper—One custodian, rare book coliection, $2.400; tants $1,860 each (reading rooms), $3,720: | 10 assistants, at $1,140 each (reading | rooms), $11.400; 2 a: at $900 each (reading rooms), $1,800; (music division), $1,140; 1 (room for blind), $900; copyright office, 1 messenger, $660; card division, 1 assistant, $2,400.

PHILADELPHIA, February 1 (). ~ Four persons were found asphy ated last night in a house in German- town, a suburb of this city, by a re- pairman, who was tracing a leak.

Smith was aded by some of his Republ nds that it would be w \llow the matter to rest with a com- mittee ‘report at this session. This 1s that when Mr. Smith presents his credentials next December the committee would have to sit again ind make anew report. i Would Change Argument. The case at that time would differ in hat'the arguments in the case ot Col. mith would be that he had been legally elected by the people of Illi- nois and that the Senate had no right to inquire into what happened in the primary contest. It is generally conceded that there is more to be said on this kind of question than on the mere appointment by a governor. It would appear, therefore, that for the remainder of this session, which expires on March 4, the State of Illinois will have only one representa- tive on the floor of the Senate. Under the precedent established at the pres- ent session, it is very likely that Illinois will not have two votes for some time to come, because when Col. Smith presents his credentials in December they will be referred to a committee, and until the committee report is debated and finally voted upon there is no opportunity for the Senator-elect to take part in the pro- ceedings. As this probably will be the same procedure for the State of Pennsyl- vania, the Senate will consist of 94 members. There is a constitutional provision to the effect that no State shall be deprived of its representation in the Senate without its consent. The answer of Senators to this phase of the problem is that the State of Iilinois has the power to vacate the certificate of election given Col. Smith and hold a special election to choose : successor. The Supreme Court of the United States has never been called upon to | decide a case of this kind and there are many persons outside the Senate who, entirely apart from the politica’ question involved, would like to have the whole thing. clarified by court decision, (Copyright. 1927.)

Pyle and Albert B. Sunday Held for Action of Grand Jury. Frances M. Pyle and Albert B. Sun- day, charged with forgery, were held for the action of the grand jury on bonds of $15,000 and $10,000, respec- tively, following a preliminary hear- ing in Police Court today before Judge Gus A. Schuldt. Both defendants re- side at 1529 I street. The girl is alleged to have forged the names of Mrs. Adolph Kree of 645 A street southeast, Emma J. Brown of 1907 K street and Mrs. W. I. Glover of Wardman Park Hotel to obtain merchandise and cash from lo- cal department stores. All three women appeared in court and testified that they had accounts at the three stores, but did not sign checks or authorize any one else to do so. Sunday is alleged to have been the girl's accomplice, although he did not sign any checks. The goods and money received amount to nearly $500. The girl is said to have “worked” the stores by paying various sums to the accounts of holders of accounts and then cashing checks, using their sig- natures. The two defendants were arrested Saturday night by Headquarters De-. tectives J. H. Fowler and J. F. Fla- herty and investigated by B. Kueh- ling.

It was understood that Great Britain asked only minor conditions designed to insure efficient administration of the forelgn concessions which would have been surrendered to Cantonese rule. The proposals were presented simul- taneously to the Peking and Canton governments last Friday and were generally regarded by foreign circles in China as being too generous fo be refused. ENGLISH FILE PROTEST. Dismissal of Customs Inspector. PEKING, February 1 (#).—The British legation today protested to the foreign office of the Peking govern- ment against the dismissal yesterday of Sir Francis Aglen, inspector gen- eral of the Chinese maritime customs. ‘The Peking government removed Sir Francis presumably because he refused to enforce its mandate to col- lect surtaxes of 23 per cent and 5 per cent on imports, as provided for in agreements made by the powers at the Washington conference. Sir Francls was understood to have held that no customs charges could be levied which were not provided for in treaties. The new levies were to have been collected beginning today. The government contended that treaties were not necessary for the collection of the additional customs, since all the powers concerned had agreed to them. SHIP BARS SHANGHAI. Belgenland, With Many Ameri- cans, Will Not Stop There. SHANGHAI, February 1 (®P.— Upon the advice of the American and British consuls general the Belgen- land, a tourist liner making a cruise of the world, has eliminated Shanghai as a port of call. The vessel, en route from Kobe, Japan, was diverted by radfo today to Hongkong. The consuls felt that in view of the present unsettled condi- | tion it was inadvisable to have a large number of tourists in Shanghai dur- ing the Chinese New Year celebration.
