NEW YORK, November 20.—A Thanksgiving lull in the Rothstein case today was regarded as but the calm be- fore a storm of developments tomorro: Among those in jail for the holiday 8t least, were George McManus, friond of Arnoid Rothstein, slain gambler, and Mrs. Bridget Fahey, one of three per- ®0ns who identified McManus as the man who engaged and occupied room 349 of the Park Central Hotel, where Hothstein was shot the night of Novem- “ber 4. *+ Mrs. Fahey, a former maid in the ho- | tel, held as a material witness, chose to /spend Thanksgiving in a jail cell in fear of threats. She told District Attorne “Banton that men accosted her, called | «Hr a squealer and said she had batter | take the first train for Chicago.

Banton declared that unless Me- :Lmus agroed to postponement of the! caring, he would ask the grand jury > hond down immediately murder in- dictments_against three persons, one of them McManus, that would eliminate the necessity of the heariag. Who the other two persons are the prosecutor declined to discuss. Encouraged by the identification of McManus as the occupant of room 349 and testimony of Jimmy Meehan, a gambler, before the grand jury, Mr. Banton announced he was “positive the case will be solved.” “T think we can finish the homicide | feature of the Rothstein investigation | before the grand jury by noon Friday,” | he said.

Galveston Hotel Is Sold. DALLAS, Te November 29 (P).— Purchase of the Galvez Hotel, Galves- ton, by the Baker Hotel Corporation or “approximately $1,000,000” was an- nounced here yesterday by T. B. Baker, president. of the organization. Mr. Baker said a new 400-room hotel, to. be known as the San Luis, would be built on property adjoining the Galvez, giv- ing the Baker Corporation a capacity of 700 beds in Galveston. Acquisition of the Galvez gives the Baker Corporation six operating hotels THE EVENING | THANKSGIVING CHEER GIVEN FAMILY OF 12 Mother Walks Miles to Mission to Make First Requets for Aid in Need. One of the Central Union Mission's Thanksgiving baskets is bringing cheer today to a Washington family in want that Mrs. John S. Bennett, wife of the superintendent, considers presents a particularly poignant case. Yesterday a thin-faced, middle-aged woman walked into the office of the mission at 613 C street, telling Mrs. Bennett that she had walked from near the Maryland line, where in their modest and until recently self-suppott- ing home she had left her husband, a laborer, six children and four grand- children. Out of work for weeks, Mrs. Bennett was advised, the husband had been tramping into the city daily for want of car fare seeking employment, until a mass of blisters on his feet had made further trips impossible. The family had had no food since the morn- ing of the day before and, though she had never before asked any institution for anything, the woman had read of the Thanksgiving cheer that the mis- sion offers. The oldest child, a daughter, married and with four small children “live with us,” the woman explained, ‘“because her husband is in jail” The next oldest, a 17-year-old boy, is a mental defective. Then there are girls of 15 and 9, a boy of seven and a girl of four and grandchildren aged four, three and two years and the youngest nine months. Five minutes later the woman left carrying a Thanksgiving basket from the stock of more than 200 covering the floor of the Mission’s assembly room. While Mrs. Bennett was wondering how she was going to replace that basket, she says, Right Rev. James E. { R R R R R R Rttt thth Rt Glass Tops for Gift Tables & Desks STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
