Thirty-eight District policemen now are regularly constituted Federal pro- hibition agents, under special appoint- ment. Such a move had been decided on by Mej. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, but the present controversy has given the plan impetus. It is said that the policemen and assistant chased Johnson and Harbough for speeding in the Southwest section | of the city and arrested them a short distance beyond the District line on the | Good Hope road southeast when a wheel came off their car. The police | say they found 480 quarts of liquor in the automcbile and brought the men back to Washington. They were charged with illegal possession and transportation of liquor. On the ground that the arrest was illegal. United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage dropped the case. It is said that the policemen later told Maj. Hesse they did not know they were in Maryland when they arrested Johnson and Harbough.

The major purposes which were advanced for its construction were navigation, scientific research and national defense. The Republican administration has recom- mended that it be dedicated to agri- culture for research purposes and de- velopment of fertilizers in addition to its national deiense reserve. After the purposes are satisfied there is a by- product of superfluous power. That by- product should be disposed of on such terms and conditions as will safeguard and protect all publiy interest. “I entirely agree with these pro- posals.” Greeley's Daughter Calls. Mrs. Gabrielle Greeley Glendenin, white-haired daughter of Horace Gree- ley, editor and friend of the South, called on Hoover yesterday and pledgec. him her active support. She left his office in enthustastic mood, saying: He has such a genial, straight, friend- Iy lt‘)ok when you talk with him that we don’t get from photographs. I am do- ing everything I ¢an for the campaign among my friends. I think Mr. Hoover is the hero of this whole modern era.” Mrs. Glendenin announced she was sending into the South an open letter to “My Dear Sisters of the South,” in part, as follows: “Do not think me intrusive in speak- ing to you, but recall how my father came down after the Civil War to bail your President, Jefferson Davis, and re- turned to face in consequence almost financial ruin. Let me say that I feel kindly toward the other candidate, Gov. Smith. He is a lovable man, a good son, husband and father and has recti- fled many evils in the institutions of our State. He is sincere and brave enough to acknowledge he is in favor of modi- fying the eighteentl; amendment, which many of us feel will let loose the floodgates of intemperance ana’ ruin {upon our now prosperous land. “But Herbert Hoover has grown up in a clean country, an orphan wrestling with poverty for living and education. After gaining them with his great natural, powers he was called upon to carry on immens® constructive works from China to Australia, at the head of armies of co-workers with whom he has never had a strike or misunder- standing. “Can we Americans ever forget what Herbert Hoover did in the Mississippi disaster, his guidance of homeless mul- titudes in such a way that only three lives were lost after he took charge?” Auto Tags Sale Ordered. ‘The District Commisisoners today di- rected Wade H.

Nothing could be farther from the truth than that everv educated man to- day is n Christian.

The church has failed to provide effective Christian leadership. Very few men have ac- tually been sent to minister to the col- l;fi! or adequately supported when there.” Cites Words of Paul. Mr. Glenn applied to the college sit- uation a modern interpretation of the ancient words of Paul, “how shall they belfeve in Him, of whom they have not | hegrd? And how shall they hear with- | out a preacher? And how shall they | preach unless they have been sent?” | Music for the morning service will | be provided by a vested choir of more | than two hundred and fifty voices, ac- companied by a band. The band will play sacred music from 10:10 to 10:20 and the chimes of the little sanctuary in the Cathedral Close will be rung at intervals before the service. China Situation Studied.
