BIDS T0 BE ASKED FOR U. S. VESSELS Board Will Permit Eight Va- rieties of Offers for Mer- chant Fleet. The United States Shipping Board today ordered the Merchant Fleet Corporation to prepare advertisements for bids for the sale of the. United States Lines and the American Mer- chant Line different alternate plans. The Merchant Fleet Corporation was directed to turn over the advertisements | and the specifications for the bids to | the Shipping Board. The bids are expected to be received about Septem- | ber 1 Chatrman T. V.

Hitt in Po- lice Court yesterday for carrying a deadly weapon. A fine of $10 or 10 days also was imposed on him by Judge Gus A. Schuldt for disorderly conduct. Scott’s arrest followed complaints received at the fifth precinct about 1:30 yesterday morning that some- one was firing off a revolver in the 1300 block of C street southeast, Policeman Walter S. Beck investigat- ed and found Scott with a loaded revolver in his possession. Scott explained to the court that he had loaned a friend 75 cents and was merely keeping the revolver as security.

Other Case Intervenes. A desire to dispose of the valuation case of the Washington & Georgetown Gas Light Companies before taking up the street car fare application is the cause of the delay. The revaluation of the porperties of the gas companies has been under way for more than a year and is virtually completed. Public hearings on the valuation will begin August 13 under present plans.

Unemployment in the District of Co- Jumbia decreased 1 per cent during the month of May, as compared with April, | according to statistics made public to- day by the American FPederation of Labor. The report shows that unem- ployment among organized wage earn- ers in 24 leading cities of the Nation decreased 3 per cent during May. “The average unemployment of mem- bers of trade unions in April was 16 per cent and in May 13 per cent. In ‘Washington the average unemployment wuupercenthprumdSpercem in May, both figures being the lowest for the 24 cities listed. Jersey City, N.

Harry C. Davis, manager of the Taxi Owners’ Association, notified the com- mission last week of the plans to start the jitney service and asked whether it had any objections. Since then the trac- tion and the bus companies have pro- tested on the ground that such a ser- vice would constitute unfair competi- tion. The commission, therefore, will advise Davis to make formal applica- tion for authority to establish ser~ vice, whereupon a public hearing would be held and a decision made. THE Jewelers Say Hotel Showcase Was Raided in Last Two Weeks. Robbery of a showcase in the lobby of the Willard Hotel, of six pieces of Jewelry totaling $6,343.25 in value, was rted to the police yesterday. Officials of A. Kahn, Inc., 935 F street, told the police that the robbery had oc sometime between June 16 and July 1. The stolen articles consisted of a platinum watch set with diamonds, valued at $1400; a platinum ber pin set with precious stones, $1,800; a plati- num_bracelet set with didmonds and fres, $1,281; a platinum ring set a diamond, $742.25; a platinum m‘w let, $660, and a platinum ring, $450. WRECKING OF SQUATTERS’ SHACKS 1S CONSIDERED District Serves Notices to Move, but River Flat Dwellers 8till Stay. The Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks is having considerable diffi- culty in getting squatters off the Gov- ernment_territory adjacent to the Po- tomac River between the Arlington and Key Bridges. Notices were sent to the dozen or more occu- pants of shacks on this tejritory to va- cate before May 31 last. Investigation made several days ago showed that no effort had been made by any of the squatters to leave their places of abode. Yesterday afternoon e E. Clark of the surveying divi- sion of the public parks office and Capt. P. J. Carroll of the park police at- tempted to serve personal notices on these people, but found none of them in the bulldings. Purniture was ob- served in the buildings and the doors were securely locked. ‘As it is necessary to get these people off the land so that it may be improved as a parkway, consideration 15 now be- ing given to the matter of having the | furnishings set out in the open and the | shacks torn down and destroyed | { C. of C.

Y the cook,” Markham went on, “she, too, is wholly outside of any serious consideration. She's tempera- mentally unfitted to be cast in the role of murderer.” “And what about the butler?” asked O'Brien acrimoniously. “He's been with the family 30 years, and was even remembered liberally in Tobias Greene’s will. He's a bit queer, but I think if he had had any reason for destroying the Greenes he wouldn't have waited till old age came on him.” Markham looked troubled for a mo- ment. “I must admit, however, that there's an atmosphere of mysterious teserve about the old fellow. He always gives me the impression of knowing far more than he admits.” “What you say, Markham, is true enough,” remarked Vance. “But Sproot doesn't it this particular of crime. He reasons too carefuily; there’s an tmmense cautious- ness about the man, and his mental outlook is highly conservative. He might stab an enemy if there was no remote chance of detection. But he lacks the courage and the imaginative resiliency that have made possible this present gory debauch. He's too old— much too old. . . . By Jovel” Vanoce leaned over and tapped the table with an incisive gesture. “That's the thing that's been evad- ing me! Vitality! That's what is at the bottom of this business—a tre mendous, elastic, self-confident vitality: a supreme ruthlessness mingled with audacity and impudence—an intrepid and reckless egoism—an undaunted be- lief in one’s own ability. And -they're not the components of age. There's youth in all this—youth with its am- bition and venturesonicness — that doesn't count the cost, that takes no thought of risk. . No. Sproot could never qualify.” Moran shifted his chair uneasily and turned to Heath. “Whom did you send to Atlantic City to watch Sibella?" “Guilfoyle and Maliory—the two best men we've got.” The sergeant smiled with a kind of cruel satisfaction. “She won't get away. And she won't pull anything, either. “And have you extended your atten- tion to Dr. Von Blon, by any chance?” negligently asked Varce.

O'Brien leaned ponderously over the table and, brushing the ashes from his cigar, fixed a sullen look on the dis- trict attorney. “What was this story you gave out to the papers, Mr. Markham? You seemed to want to imply that the old woman took the strychnine herself. Was that hogwash, or was there some- thing in it?" “I'm afraid there was nothing in it, inspector.” Markham spoke with a sense of genuine regret “Such & heory doesn't square with the poison- ing of Ada—or with any of rest , for that matter.” retorted O'Brien. e A Philo Vance Story 1, 1928, Charies Scribaer’s Soms, Case Murder Van Dine “ghe’s hardly to be blamed in the circumstances,” Vance returned. '‘The child had been through a frightful ex- rience and was scarcely normal. And t 15 not at all unlikely that she, too, suspected her mother, If she did, what would have been more natural than for her to imagine that this shadowy figure she saw in the hall long after midnight was the actual object of her dread? It is not unusual for a person under stress of fright to distort an ob- ject by the projection of a dominating mental image.” ‘ou mean,” sald Heath, “that she saw somebody else, and imagined it was her mother because she was think- ing so hard of the old woman?” “It's by no means improbable.” “Still, there was that detall of the Orijental shaw! objected Markham. “Ada might easily have mistaken the Rersun': features, but her insistence on aving seen that particular shawl wasy fairly definite.” ‘Vance gave a perplexed nod. he point is well taken. And it may prove the clue that will lead us out of this labyrinth. We must find out more about that shawl.” Heath had taken out his mnotebook and was turning the pages with scowl- ing concentration “And don't forget, Mr. Vance" he scid, without looking up, “about that diagram Ada found in the rear of the hall near the library door.

Then we’ll have opened a main artery of inquiry “How are we going to find that out,” demanded O'Brien, “when Ada was the only person who saw this woman in Mrs. Greene's shawl?” “Your question contains the answer, inspector, We must see Ada again and try to counteract the suggestion of her own fears, When we explain that it couldn't have been her mother, she may recall some other point that will put us on the right track.” And this was the course taken.

By the Associated Press. ATHENS, July 3.—Elutherios Veni- selos, former premier and dominant fac- tor in the Liberal party, has been in- trusted with the formation of a new cabinet. Parliament will be dissolved. M. Venizelos, in announcing to the representatives of the foreign press that he had undertaken formation of a cabi- net which will be sworn in tomorrow, said he did not intend to change the foreign policy of Greece. Hé had re- quested M. Michalakopoulous to retain the foreign portfolio, but the later re- gretted his inability to comply. The return of Venizelos to power in Greece is just another incident in the dramatic career of the man, whom President Woodrow Wilson described as one of the greatest statesmen in Eu- rope. When Venizelos left Greece he said he was done with politics. But when country needed him he came back as he did once before, in 1924, when he was elected President of the Na- tional Assembly.

From that time his influence became augmented, until he figured as the “strong man of Greece.” Favored Allies. In all his political activities Venizelos ‘was hostile to the reigning family, and to him has been attributed an impor- tant part in the revolution which forced the abdication of King George II in 1923 and the success of the revolation- ary party under Col. Plastiras. It was through his efforts that Greece entered the World War on the side of the allfes. After the armistice in November 1918, Venizelos was one of the outstanding men at the peace conference, and al- though he attracted worldwide atten- tion and seemed about to consummate a great triumph, he was overwhelmingly defeated at home by the Greek elector- ate. This was in 1920, after an attempt had been made against his life three months previously in Paris. His down- fall was variously ascribed to the un- popularity of the war in Asia Minor, the continued mobilization and the desire of the Hellenic people for what they termed their “liberty.” MINOR ASKS AfN“NULMENT.
