Chairman ing time vesterday after a conference with Senator Howell, Republican, of Nebraska, who spent several months | studying the advisability of a law to supplement the Volstead act in the Na- | tional Capital, The hearings are expected to deal largely with the section of the bill in which Senator Howell seeks to broaden the search warrant power of local officials to permit them to search 11 local enforcement | pper fixed the meet- residential property upon information of the existence of a still or upon in- formation that liquor has been taken to or from a house. At the present time warrants for residential property “f issued only upon evidence of a sale. Attorney General Mitchell advised against including the new search war- rant provision in the bill, but Senator Howell regarded it as an essential fea- ture of his measure and left it in. ‘The bill also gives all local policemen power to enforce prohibition, whereas only 38 members of the force now have prohibition enforcement authority. The bill re-enacts portions of the for- mer Sheppard law, fixing penalties for drinking in public, serving liquor to minors and driving vehicles, other than automobiles, while intoxicated. Driving an automobile while intoxicated is al- ready provided for. Mr. Driscoll, on behalf of his asso- ciation, also opposed the appropriation in the bill for the establishment of the new Farmers’ Market on the Southwest site.

There is a price on the head of every | Washiagtonian today. A “ransom” of about 4 cents per head will be paid by Uncle Sam to the 4D3| men and women who early this morning resumed their task of enumerating the population for each of sevepal divis- very person in the Capital, in exchange for confidential information. ‘The headquarters of J. Sterling Moran, census supervisor fcr the Dis- trict of Columbia, buzzed activity suggesting a relief office in a flooded district, with telephones ringing, in- numerable callers seeking information, and a large staff alert to every con- Mr. Moran was much too busy to talk about details, but he came up smiling from a barrage of telephone calls to announce that satisfactory progress was made yesterday. Must End in Two Weeks. Striving for thoroughness as well as speed, the enumerators are putting in as much overtime as they choose, the one rule being that the job in Wash- ington must de done in two weeks. A month is allowed in rural districts. The enumerators are expected to canvass about 95 per cent of the population the first time through a district, and to go back soon thereafter and catch up loose ends. Supervisor Moran will be busy several weeks after the last enumerator has filed a complete return. He is paid by the job, a flat $1,800, and in addition, $1 for each 1,000 persons counted in his district and for each 100 farms. It is a six-month job for each supervisor with the promise that he will be paid | Off as soon as he counts and announces lons—township, precinct, county, bor- ough, or city within his district.

Other enumerators met with Mr. Moran at the bureau. More early returns were expected at the bureau foday from small communi- ties.

A census district in Koot- enal County, Idaho, and one in Morris | County. New Jersey, also reported their | tabulations complete before the close of the day yesterday. ‘Washington ranked well up among the | cities of more than 100,000 first to report | in the 1920 census and Mr. Moran, stressing accuracy and thoroughness | rather than speed, nevertheless hoped that an early complete return would be vossible.
