UNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, PRAYS FOR BOMB SENDER'S CAPTURE Mitchellville Pastor Officiates at Burial of Two of Victims. An earnest but quietly spoken prayer that the person or persons who manu- | factured the bomb and sent it to the | Hall residence in the guise of a Christ- mas gift be identified and “brought to justice” for the ghastly crime was offered by Rev. Julian McDonald, who | conducted funeral services for the first | two victims of the tragedy yeskrdny; at_Michellville, Md. In both prayer and his sermon in | the little frame Mount Oak Methodist Church, the pastor of the congregation | expressed the hope that the perpetrator of the bombing and killing on New Year would b: apprehended prosecuted. | The statements brought murmured | words of approval and “amen” from a number of the capacity throng of resi- dents of Prince Georges County who | packed into the church. Sorrowing Crowd in Church. The church was filled with an atmos- phere of tense sorrow over the tragedy, and though the neighbors, friends and relatives of the bomb victims remained stolidly silent during the services, there were few dry eyes when a choir of six women softly sang the anthem “Rock of Ages.” Before the altar of the church were | the flower-draped casket of Mrs. Naomi Hall Brady, the 18-year-old bride, and the tiny white one for little Samuel | Hall, her 19-month-old brother. The tragedy of the death of the baby boy, who was mortally wounded as he pushed his curly head close to the bomb to see what the ‘“Christmas package” contained, was brought poignantly to the throng at the church yesterday when a small child, uncon- scious of the occasion, several times broke into chatter. The services at the church completed, the throng of about 150, which had Jjourneyed there in procession from the residence of G. S. Arnold, on Center avenue, near Mitchellville, where the bodies lay, walked to the Mount Oak Cemetery nearby the church, following the hearse. Burial in Double Grave. ‘There on a hillside plot near a grove of tall trees, Naomi and Samuel were | buried in a double grave. Funeral | services for Dorothy Hall, 4 years old, | sister of Naomi, who died yesterday morning, are being arranged. As preparations for the funeral were being completed at the Arnold resi- dence, after 1 o'clock, county officers and assisting Washington and Balti- more detectives were active, making numerous speedy trips by automobile along the roads near the place and the distant church. Apparently they were keeping close watch over the community and the crowds during the services. Relatives of the victims who attended the funeral included Herman Brady, the youthful widower; Norris Hall, brother of Naomi: John Hall, the father; his brother, Francis Hall, and Roy Brady, brother of Herman. Pallbearers were Carl and Leslie Phelps, Lyle and J. L. Simmons, Allen Robertson, Clarence Edmonds, Willard | Alder and Charles Lloyd: German Again Heard in Louvre.

The third fatality occurred early yesterday when 4-year-old Dorothy Hall died at Sibley Hospital from terrible injuries to the head, received as she bent, with childish curiosity, over the brightly decorated box of dynamite. Mrs. Nora Hall, mother of Mrs, Brady and of the two small victims, was an improved condition last night at Providence Hospital, where she and two of her sons, Leslie, 16, nd Thomas, 8, have been confined since the blast. ‘The Maryland authorities arrestcd Clarence Brady with utmost secrecy Priday night and spirited him from Marlboro to the Maryland Penitentiary, near Baltimore, for fear of possible mob violence.

It is in the non-utilitarian fields that the people of the Pan-American states must build permanent good will, Am- bassador Culbertson declared, in plead- ing for promotion of better mutual un- derstanding of social and political prob- lems. He praised the nationalistic spirit of Chile and declared that country has | a culture from which the people of the | United States can learn much. Practical Peace Method. Settlement of the Tacna-Arica dis- pute, he pointed out, was an example of a practical method' of making peace which Chile and Peru have contributed to_the world peace movement, While stressing the importance of American commercial interests in Chile, where $1,000,000,000 of American cap- ital is invested, Ambassador Culbertson suggested that it is even more important inthe advancement of interamerican interests that South American coun- tries should have a better knowledge of the undercurrents of American life as evidenced in non-economic fields.

When the official investigators left, however, the boys entered the debris-laden kitchen and conducted an unofficial but very intensive search of the litter in the room.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, January 4— Aided by a strong tail wind, the iwo planes of the Eielson relief expedition were speeding westward toward Nome today, averaging more than 100 miles an hour. The planes left Fairbanks at 9 am. (11 am. Pacific standard time) and an hour and three-quarters later passed over Kokrines, 200 miles away. At Kokrines the fiyers were but a short distance from Nulato, where they were to turn westward over the Nulato plains toward Norton Bay. From Nor- ton Bay they were to follow the coast- | line to Nome. It was predicted here that they should be there not later than 2 p.m. Alaska time (7 p.m. East- ern standard time) if the favorable wind continued.

He would have the farm vote, the Legion vote, the women’s vote and the businessman’'s vote. He has been a worker for farmer’s rights | since 1920.” Many individuals, Woods declared, | | have importuned the general personal- ly and by letter to run.

NORRIS FILES PETITION. Senator Seeks Renomination Formally on Home Town Visi McCOOK, Nebr, January 4 (#).— Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska today filed his petition for renomina- tion for United States Senator on the Republican ticket with Miss Naomi ‘Wooton, treasurer of Red Willow County. The Senator filed the petition soon after arriving here by automobile from Holdrege, Nebr. where he spent the night after delivering an address at Minden, He had announced his can- didacy several weeks ago at Washing- n. This is Senator Norris' first visit to his home town in more than a year. The Senator plans to leave tomorrow night for Washington. PERSHING RACE UNLIKELY. Interest Here Keen in Reported Draft Move in Nebraska. That Gen. John J. Pershing could be drafted to enter the Nebraska Repub- lican primary against the insurgent leader, Senator George W. Norrls, was considered unlikely yesterday in Wash- ington. Members of Congress refused to comment beyond showing interest in the announcement that Mark Woods, Nebraskan political leader, had started a movement for the general. Gen. Pershing's secretary, Capt. George Adamson, expressed the opinion { of many when he said that the gen- eral’s position on politics had been made quite cleer when he refused to enter a campalgn for the presidency. West- ern leaders_conceded that Gen. Persh- ing would make a formidable ca date, but suggested that the strength of Senator Norris in Nebraska ought not to be minimized in forecasting a possible contest. Interest in the 1930 campaigns was further stimulated today by the an- nouncement at Richmond Friday that Senator Carter Glass would seek re- nomination in the Democratic primary. Victory for the Senator was forecast. It was his candidate for governor who swept the old-line Democrats to victory in the recent gubernatorial election, de- feating the anti-Smith forces led in the national election by Bishop James Can- non of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Senator Glass was a political power in Virginia even before he served in the first Wilson administration as Secre- tary of the Treasury. Valencia Urged in New Plan.

Progress in the Federal bullding pro- gram in Washington was one of the “few really great” city planning proj- ects brought out during 1929, it is as- serted by Charles H. Cheney, chairman of the committee on city and regional planning of the American Institute of year's events in this field. “More progress in laying the founda- tion of sound city and regional plan- ning was made in 1929 than in per- | fecting the superstructures of our cities,” he adds in the statement, re- leased yesterday by the national head- quarters of the institute here. Large Volume Reported. “With more than 750 planning com- missions reported in the country, and as many as 840 citles with some kind of building zone regulations in opera- tion,” he states, “the volume of plan- ning work has become tremendous, even though the quality of most of that work is yet very inadequate and incomplete. “But when we reflect that it is only a little more than 13 years since zoning began -generally to be applied and 20 years since the National Conference in City Planning was organized, it is evi- dent that a distinct advance has been achieved. “Two hundred and forty cities claim city plans in various stages of comple- tion, but the remainder of the commis- sions are still planless. Pennsylvania and some other States report increas- ing local appropriations for city plan- ning, but lack of funds still is the cause of inactivity on the part of most of these boards. “A few really great plans have been brought out during 1929. Most notable among these is the New York regional plan, presented to the ecity last June after seven years of intensive study. Washington Program. “Then there is that enormous group of new public structures in Washing- ton, on a scale befitting the National Capital, to go in the triangle between Pennsylvania avenue and the Mall, re- cently authorized by Congress at the urging of President Hoover and Secretary Mellon. “The St. Louis river front develop- ment program, with its great plaza of buildings, is on a scale with the largest world projects. Meantime, Chicago has been forging ahead with its enormous lake front park system.” Meat Packers Plan Strike.

Fathers, suspected “perfumed slug- ger” accused by authorities of attacking more than 30 Seattle, Tacoma and Everett girls, will be charged in Superior Court on seven counts of first-degree burglary, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney John J. Dunn said here today. Dunn explained burglary conviction would be easler obtained than convic- tion of statutory charges, for despite the fact that 15 girls from the three cities here have identified Fathers as the man who broke into their bed rooms at night, they are reluctant to testify details of his attacks. Fathers already faces a statutory charge in Justice Court preferred by Ruby Mayo, one alleged victim, and is being held in lieu of $10,000 bail. It was on this charge that he recently was ex- tradited from Janesville, Wis. Prisoner Causes Trouble.
