MARINE PRODUCTS ~INLIVELY DEMAND Greater Inquiry for Oysters Reported by D. C. Mar- ket Dealers. Marine products wére in demand at | Municipal Fish Market and houses ln‘ the wholesale district this morning. While receipts were not heavy, dealers | said their supplies were received in quantities great enough to fill demands. There was an increased demand for oysters reported, and dealers had plenty stock, both shucked and shell, to meec | demands of retailers. Oysters, accord- ing to reports, were of exceptionally good quality and shell stock sold at a wide range of prices, shucked stock | selling at prices which have prevailea | most of the season. i | Frozen Fish Supplies. Plentiful supplies of frozen fish from Bostdh packers were to be had by re- tailers, but receipts of fresh-caught fish were light. Very few fish were re- ceived from the Potomac netters, dealers reported, and Chesapeake Bay catches also were reported small. Many retailers were on hand in the wholesale market district this morning | looking for supplies for today and the | week end trade, most of them getting their meat and poultry supplies. Fruit and vegetable supplies also were ob- | tained Warmer weather resulted in the ap- pearance of increased numbers of deal- ers on the farmers' line, where re- ceipts were not heavy, growers st being unable to gather the average quantities of vegetables to supply tne | retail trade. On the commission house line there were ample supplies to meet all de- mands, dealers having large qunmluesi of shipped-in fruits and vegetables. Business was reported fairly brisk at | prices substantially the same as prices quoted yesterday. Today’s Wholesale Prices—Jobbers’ Prices Slightly Higher.

PASSAGE ABROAD AND §25 EARNED Washington College Student Profits by German and American Affiliations. By obtaining employment on a Ger- man liner because he is still a German, | and by obtaining work on an American liner beq@use he had taken out his first naturalization papers, Paul Frenzel, 29, Washington college student, succeeded in going abroad and returning to the United States $25 richer than wHen he left after working his entire way. Frenzel was graduated from the pr medical course at a local college last year and desired to visit relatives living in Bautzen, Germany, whom he had not seen for five years, before going to | Loma Linda, Calif, to enter a medical | school. i Leaving New York July 9 on the Deutschland, he worked in the lower cabin engine room, polishing and clean- ing the machinery. As the food did not agree with him, he frequently went to his room, changed clothing and went on the upper deck, where he mingled | with American passengers. In becoming familiar with them, he mentioned the fact that he was a stu- dent, and told the passengers the his- tory of his voyage. They became in- terested. Frenzel hinted that he was not accustomed to the food served in the engine room. Several brought him food and sandwiches from the passcn- gers' dining room. Frenzel said that he spent many sleepless nights in an upper berth, Just below him was a fireman “who had an avoirdupois of 250 pounds.” During his three-month stay Frenze! visited France, Belgium, Holland and England. He had become so American- ized that German customs seemed pe- culiar to him He returned to the United States on the Minnekahda, working as assistant steward. ASKS PRISON SENTENCE. Homeless Man Appeals to Judge to Send Him to Jail. | Declaring that he had not eaten in |more than a week, William Young, 30 | years old, arraigned in Police Court this | morning before Judge Isaac R. Hitt on a charge of vagrancy, pleaded with the magistrate to send him to jail because he was homeless. Judge Hitt complied and meted out a sentence of $100 or 10 days. Young told the court that he had spent most of his time hunting for work and sleeping in the parks. He said he had come to Washington almost two months ago, and while he had worked intermittently, he had been able to secure barely enough food to keep him alive. Young reported that he spent most of the time during the recent cold wave going from store to store in an effort to keep from freezing. Shabby at- tire given him by these store owners saved him, he told the judge. Policeman ond precinct arrested him yesterday afternoon.

By the Associated Press. A renewal of the 10-year-old con- troversy over prohibition is in prospect for the present session of the Senate. ‘Ten measures dealing with the dry laws have been introduced, and others, intended to carry out President Hoover's desire to tighten up enforcement of the liquor law and to make Washington the “model of city law enforcement in the Nation,” are expected. - | Among the measures already intro- ducéd the one that has aroused the widest_interest is the proposal of Sen- ator Sheppard, Democrat, Texas, that the purchaser of liquor be made equally llable to punishment with the seller. % Wants Early Consideration. Sheppard said today he planned to urge early consideration of this bill by | the judiciary committee. It is certain to arouse a storm of controversy if it reaches the Senate floor. Improved enforcement of the prohi- bition law in the District of Columbia is the purpose of a bill to be intrcduced by Senator Howell, Republican, of Ne- braska. He said today that his meas- ure in general would provide the equiva- lent of a State enforcement agency for the City of Washington. At present, he added, the District of Columbia is compelled to depend on the Federal Government for enforcement, while most of the States have both the Federal and State enforcement agencies. | Another measure dealing with prohi-| bition enforcement in Washington ia expected to result from suggestions to be submitted by the Department of Justice to the Senate committee on the District of Columbia. Capper Looks to Mitcheil. Senator Capper, Republican, of Kan- sas, chairman of the committee, said today he was looking to the department to indicate a program to followed and that Attorney General Mitchell had promised to submit suggestions. mendations for, reorganizing the Government's prohibition enforce- ’ ment mac! President John McNab, S8an Prancisco lawyer, to aid in drawing up a plan for submis- sion to this session of Congress. ‘The President already has announced that he wishes to have prohibition en- forcement duties of the Treasury trans- ferred to the Justice Department. Measures already before the Senate include a proposal by Senator Blease, | Democrat, South Carolina, to make the prohibition law applicable to the diplo~ matic corps and another by Sefator Hawes, Democrat, Missouri; tn permit “non-intoxicating liquors” for beverage purposes. Hawes Seeks Modification. In a statement today, Hawes ex- pressed opposition to the Sheppard bill and characterized the Volstead act's definition of one-helf of 1 per cent of alcohol as intoxicating s scientifi- cally absurd. “Modification of this limitation,” he said, “would do more to bring law en- forcement than millions spent by .Con- gress or any other proceeding the com- mission could advocate.” A gayly decorated automobile, taking a newly married couple from a Belfasy, Ireland, chu¥h, recently, had on the back in large letters, “Aisle Altar Hymn.” At ert, o8 et \;{ e ged trom | COURT NAMED TO TRY NORTHCUTT ON COAST Officer Will Face Charges of De- | sertion and Leaving U. 8, It Is Believed at Bremerton.
