HOOVER UNVIOVED BY LIOUOR CLANCR “Premature”. ~ Wickersham ‘Report Makes President -Slow to Speak. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. President Hoover has adopted one; definite policy on prohibition. He is determined not to be “stampeded” into any action on it, one way or the other. ‘Wet clamor and dry clamor alike have left him utterly unmoved, so far. The administration, having observed how pressure in Oongress and by the public Jbrought about “premature” declarations Jfrom the Wickersham National Law Enforcement Tommission, has decided not t9 “go off half cocked” itself. This analysis of the Hoover -state of mind on the ‘hational question of the hour is forthcoming as a result of the recent allegation by Capt. W. H. Stay- ton, chairman of the board of the Asso- clation Against the Prohibition Amend- ment. Capt.. Stayton wrote a friend in Philadelphia in February that the ‘President “is beginning to doubt yhelh(‘r rohibition can be enforced. The Fetur was introduced in evidence be- fore Senator Caraway's lobby investi- gation committee when the wets had their recent days in court on Capitol Hill. Dry leaders insist that the dis- closure of Mr. Hoover's pretended mis- givings about the enforceability of the liquor laws is part and_parcel of a campaign to smoke the President out. ‘White g‘nuu visitors do not find Mr. Hoover loquacious, or even moderately informative, as to his own attitude in the presence of what he knows to be a Nation-wide controversy. Yet he con- veys an unmistakable impression that he is grappling with it in his own mind. He has not apparently pro- ceeded very far from his position that it 18 “a noble experiment which has to be constructively worked out.” Some authorities who have had occa- sion to talk prohibition with the President get the impression that he is carefully scrutinizing the “arithmetic of the problem, as exemplified by the national polls, and is drawing certain inescapable conclusions from them. A disclosure sald to be stressed at the ‘White House is that there is as yet no approximation to either modification or repeal figures which suggest the possibility ‘of either re-making or abol- ishing the eighteenth amendment. One high administration spokesman told this writer that the big wet figures rolled up in popular polls are meaning- Jess as effecting the possible repeal of the liquor amendment because they disclose no fewer than 21 States against repeal. Only 13 States are necessary, under the Oonstitution, to block & change in the amendment. THEORY OF ETHER DRIFT IS DISPUTED Scientist Says Tests Show No Dif- ference in Velocity of Light. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, _Calif., April 22.—Dr. Charles E. St. John, astronomer at the Mount Wilson Observatory here, has announced that exhaustive experiments with the speed of light has determined there is no ether drift. e ST PP reborted . 8t. Jo . 'hll;rr’ . John, ‘speaking last night" be- fore scientists at the California Insti- tute of Technology, said that with the collaboration of Dr. Walter S. Adams and Dr.-Francis G. Pease, also of the observatory, he had completed 30,000 se] te tests of the speed of light, rays traveling in all directions, and found no difference of velocity in any case. The result of these tests, the scien- tist declared, disproved the conclusion drawn by Dr. D. C. Miller of the Case School of Applied Science, Cleveland, Ohio, that there is a relative motion between the earth’ and other celestial bodies and ‘the ether that fills space. Dr.. Miller'’s recently announced ex- riment, Dr. St. John said, struck at e Michelson-Morley theory of light advanced by Dr. Albert A. Michelson, University of Chicago physicist, upon which -Dr. Albert Einstein's theory of relatively partially is founded. tured in Russia some years ago. Gardens. DEBATE ON PARKER 10 BEGIN THURSDAY Watson Predicts Victory for Hoover Supreme Court Nominee. By the Associated Press. Senate leaders meeting informally today . considered. having the nomina- tion to the Supreme Court of Judge John J. Parker of North Carolina taken up in the Senate on Thursday. Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho, who will present the majority report of | the judiciary committee in opposition to Parker, sald he favored such action. It was planned to seek an agreement later today in the Senate for a definite time for consideration of the contested nomination. Standing by President Hoover’s choice for the high tribunal, Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, in- sisted after a White House conference today that Parker would be confirmed, despite the vote of 10 to 6 against him in the judiciary committee. The Indianian said that so far as he knew there was no question but that Parker would face the issue in the contest being made against his con- firmation. Returning to the Capitol, Senator Watson prepared for a decision on the Parker nomination on the floor. Any expectation that President Hoo- ver would withdraw the nomination or that Judge Parker would ask for the recall of his name had vanished. Pacing a revolt in their own ranks inst the nominee, administration Republican leaders were counting on sufficlent Democratic votes to give them the margin for confirmation. A majority of the Democrats on the judiciary committee yesterday voted against Parker. Only one point remained to be settled today before the contest in the Senate— whether Parker is 'fn nbskhfar llhenlnx on the protest against himself. Membepl?of the judiclary committee, who voted 10 to 4 against calling him before the committee, have indicated that if Parker requests a hearing it will be granted. That would necessitate re- committing the nomination to commit- tee again. AUTO SAFETY BILL GIVEN APPROVAL Subcommittee Reports COURT RETURNS RUM SEIZED IN DRY RAID Federal Judge Rules Property Was Taken Without Legal Warrant. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 22.—Nearly s half million dollars’ worth of liquor, seized in February, 1920, in raids on offices of James M. McCunn in Man- hattan -and Brooklyn, was ordered re- turned yesterday by Federal Judge ‘William Bondy, who ruled that the seizures had been made without legal warrant or justification. The liquor was taken from the office of the International Postal Supply Co., of which McCunn was president, in Prospect place; Brooklyn.

A, Asks Court to Enjoin Disinterment—Mate Died in August, 1928. By the Associated Press. HONOLULU, T. H., April 22.—Colonel Granville Sevier of the United States Army yesterday filed an amendment pe- tition in the Circuit Court for &n in- junction to restrain ~Sheriff Patrick Gleason from performing an sutopsy upon the body of the colonel's wife, Marion, who died in August, 1928. Sevier's petition charged that Ralph Shainwald, brother of Mrs. Sevier, wasy of unsound mind in demanding the autopsy and obsessed with an insane bellef that Mrs. Sevier died of poison. Sevier contended that -his wife's death was due to natural causes, as shown by the attending physician's certificate that demise was caused by acute cardiac dilation. Sevier also pointed out that an autopsy in April of last year de- weloped nothing suspicious. An estate of $750,000 left by Mrs. Sevier to her husband has not yet been settied owing to demands of Shainwald for further investigation into the wo- man’s death. Missouri Educator Dies. Measure Favorably to Whole District Committee. The so-called “auto safety responsi- bility bill,” drafted by a committee of the American Automobile Association and sponsored by Acting Chairman Mc- Leod of the House District committee, at an executive session of the Stalker subcommittee of the House District committee was today ordered favorably reported to the full District committee, which is expected to act on this meas- ure_tomorrow. This measure is a substitute for com- pulsory automobile insurance such as has been so unsatifactory in Massa- chusetts. It provides that a motorist must show financial responsibility after he has been in an accident and must pay for the damage in that accident be- fore he can again hold a driver's permit. The purpose of the bill is to drive off the highways those who are mnot financially responsible, or covered by insurance. The subcommittee approved numer- ous amendments, the most important of which is that the measure shall not be retroactive. This amendment was recommended by the American Motor- ists’ Assoclation.

CHARGES VIOLATION OF 4TH AMENDMENT Curran Holds Lobby Probers Committed Act in Ob- taining Records. By the Associated Press. Senate lobby investigators today were charged by Henry H. Curran, president of the Association Against the Prohi- bition Amendment, with violating the spirit of the fourth amendment to the Constitution prohibiting unlawful search and seizure in obtaining his records to ascertain if the organization had en- gaged in lobbying activities. The charge was made as Curran was testifying for the fourth day concern- ing the activities of the association in advocating repeal of the prohibition amendment. Walsh' Invites Test. Benator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- tana told Curran that if he thought the committee had violated the Constitu- tion he could test the matter in the courts. “We have nothing to conceal and the responsibility is on you,” Curran re- plied, adding that he had no intention of appealing to the courts. He insisted, however, that the committee’s action was “beyond the pale of what is proper procedure.” The records were subpoenaed by the committee after members announced that Curran had refused access to all the records. Curran testified today that the as- soclation had spent $29,000 in Wis- consin in advocating repeal of the State prohibition enforcement law and had contributed $11,000 in behalf of the 1926 campaign of Senator Blaine, Re- publican, Wisconsin. "Sum Spent Indeperidently. ' Questioned by Blaine, * said the money was not candidate or to his campaign fund, but was spent independently. He added that he thought it-went for advertising. “Questioned ~about the new Iliberal party which he said is being advocated by Samuel Harden Church of Pitts- burgh, president of the Carnegie Foun- dation and & director of the Anti- Prohibition Association, the witness ex- pressed the opinion that if the Repub- lican party in the North and the Demo- cratic party in the South become pro- hibition parties “something might pop” out of & wet third party. s He said the liberal party had no con- ction, 8o f he knew, with the As- the Prohibition ne ar as sociation Against Amendment. Curran was directed to reappear again tomorrow for further questioning. J. J. Sealman represented the asso- ciation at the Wisdonsin Legislature for $10,000, he added. Nine Votes Needed for Repeal. The witness also sald Walter G. Hooke, representing the association, had been present at the Illinois Legislature session last year and that nine votes were needed in the Senate to repeal the State enforcement laws. “We got only four,” he said. Questioned about the Wisconsin cam- paign, Curran demanded whether the “Anti-Saloon League and Bishop Can- non” were going to be investigated. “They outnumber us 10 to 1 in every Legislature,” he asserted. ‘Walsh told him the drys would be investigated later. Curran appeared today before the Senate lobby committee for his fourth day of examination concerning corre- spondence of the organization. At the outset, he said, his association had expended only $392 in promotin the 1928 campaign of Representative Whitley of the thirty-eighth New York district. He said $2,500 had been ap- propriated, but it had not been spent. The $392 went for printing cards ad- vocating Whitley's election, he said, but none was given the candidate or his campaigne committee. ‘Whitley had denied that he received any money from the association after a list introduced into the lobby com- mittee records from files of the or- ganization said he was given $2,600. Membership of the association against the prohibition amendment the first of this year was placed at 11, 098 today by Curran. « Denies Black Duck Charge. Questioned by Senator Robinson, Re- publican, Indiana, Curran denied the | organization had attempted to promote | “high feeling” in connection with the capture of the Black Duck near Provi- dence several months ago by the Coast Guard, during which three men werei killed. “The whole of New England was in high feeling over it,” Curran asserted. - MUNICIPAL CENTER TRIP ARRANGED FOR SUNDAY Soclety of Natives to Visit Historic Washington Section Before It Yields to Progress.

(Continued From First Page.) men, Inspector Shelby, admitted that it | would have been “possible” for a colored man to have committed the crime, but in view of the information in the posses- sion of the police he thought it was “improbable.” The jewelry was stolen March 20 from a car parked in the rear of the State, War and Navy Building. A re- port of the theft is recorded on-the rec- ord book in the central detective bu- reau under date of March 21. The weman Who reported the loss said the jewelry, together with the pair of ladies’ light gray hose, was taken out of her machine while she was dining in a restaurant in the vicinity of Seven- teenth street and New York avenue. A pair of light gray hose also was found in the sewer with Miss Baker’s hat, coat and pocketbook, but the woman was unable to positively identify the hose as_that taken from her car. The woman, who llives in Takoma Park, told The Star that the jewelry was the property of a friend from New York who was visiting her at the time. The coral beads she said had just been procured from a jewelry store where her friend had taken them to be restrung. Find Owner of Book. Police traced the owner of the novel, ‘Golden Dancer,” through a man's name found on the inside cover. The owner told the authorities he was not acquaint- ed with Miss Baker and was at a loss to understand how the novel got into the possession of the person who placed it in the sewer with the slain woman's clothing. He said he thought he had loaned the book to a friend, who had left it in a machine where it might have been stolen, although he was not certain that such was the case. He promised to assist the investigators in solving this apparent mystery. Julian Gallagher and Mervin traveling salesmen of Warsaw, Va. takeh into custody by Arlington County authorities in connection with the in- vestigation of the murder, were re- leased from the Arlington County jail at 5:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon on order of Commonwealth Attorney Gloth. Sisson returned to his home ac- companied by William C. Albert, an official -of the Baltimore jobbing house for which he worked, and Gallagher went to Baltimore to confer with the officials of the firm for which he worked. Gallagher promised to return, however, to aid the authorities in solv- ing the murder of Miss Baker. In ordering the release of the two salesmen, Gloth announced that their alibis were unshakable and that he saw no need of their further detention. Shortly before their release, however, their palm prints were compared with photographs of palm prints found on the left front window of Miss Baker's abandoned car. There was no similarity ‘whatever. Thank Newspaper Men. Gallagher and Sisson were :mmna when they emerged from the jail, an both thanked newspaper reporters for the consideration shown them. Albert greeted Sisson at the jail and assured him that his position was secure, Gal- lagher said he did not know whether his job was secure or not and was going to Baltimore to find out. Albert, incidentally, paid s high tribute to Bisson in the presence of newspaper men. He said the salesman faa been. connected with his firm since 1923 and had been one of its most faithful and hard-working employes Lieut. Edward -J. Kelly, chief of the homicide squad of the detective bureau, said today heis working on a report that Miss Baker may have been killed by a jealous suitor of one of her to-work- ers in the Navy Department whose in- discretions the woman was shielding. n, 1| The report, it was indicated, came from two newspaper men who conferred with him last night in a newspaper office. Although Kelly did not appear to at- tach any importance to the report, he said it would be just as thoroughly in- vestigated as all other reports which have come to the detective bureau in connection with the crime. Headquarters detectives and Depart- ment of Justice agents are continuing their investigation in_the Navy De- partment, where Miss Baker worked, in an effort to establish, if possible, the identity of a man who Miss Baker had told her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Thomas F. Baker, had been forcing his atten- tions on her. Thus far, it was sald, the search has been futile. A misunderstandinig as to whether Miss Baker really did have an engage- men: to meet one of her roommates at 6 o'clock on the evening of her dis- appearance was cleared up today when it was made known that the appoint- ment was with Miss Skinner only and that Miss Sperry had complained, not because of Miss Baker's failure to keep the appointment, but because she failed to take Miss Sperry home right after work. Miss Sperry, it was explained, found it necessary to go home on the street car in order to purchase her groceries before ‘the closing of the store in the neighborhood of her home. CATHOLIC PRIEST SLAIN MEXICO CITY, April 22 (#).—Dis- patches reported last night that the g | Catholic priest, Jose Lezama, had been killed by a mob in the village of Cana- das, in the Los Altos region of Jalisco, which was the center of three years of guerrilla warfare by the ‘“Cristeros rebels.” Dispatches said the mob was deter- minted to close the church, and when they were opposed by the priest, beat him to death.

Miss Teawalt had been working in the ‘Western Union office at Fourteenth and G streets. - Shortly after midnight she took a street car for her home. ‘The girl alighted at Upshur street and Illinois avenue and hurried down the avenue. As she came to Taylor eet & stranger strode up behind her and touched her arm. “What are you doing out so late?” he asked. As she started to run the man seized her and pulled her into the alley. The girl struggled and her screams caused & neighbor to throw open a window. “What's going on down there?” he called into the alley. Before Miss Teawalt could answer her assailant fled.

YORK RELIEF FUND NOW ABOVE 1,000 Contributions Received - by Star for Family of Slain Dry Agent. With the receipt of more than two dozen additional contributions ranging in size from $1 to $200, The Star fund for the aid of the widow and three small children of Lamar Watson York, slain prohibition agent, today swept well past the $1,000 mark. The day's donations boosted the total from $723.50 to $1,155. A check for $200, the most substan- tial individual contribution received since the drive was launched less than & week ago, was received from Mrs. Clemontine F. Duff. Another excep- tlonally large donation-was $100, made by C. A. Snow. > Practically every person alding the fund with a financial offering com= mended the drive and expressed a hope for its success. The letters indicated the movement was receiving the sup- port of both “wets” and “drys.” Typical Communication. A typical comunication, received from L. J. ber, master of the National Grange, follows: “I have noticed in The Star your commendable effort in starting a contri- bution for the widow of Lamar Watson ‘York, slain prohibiticn agent. My onl regret is that I cannot make this cl ten times the present size. “I want to express my commendation of men like Mr. York, who in the face of temptation, with small pay and pub- lic eri have given their lives for the honest enforcement of law. “I am inclosing a copy of a letter I have just mailed Dr. Doran. I believe that those who believe in law enforce- ment must demand that justice be done the dependents of those who are asked for small pay to ensnge in the hazardous work of apprehending bootleggers and dope dealers, who are the most viclous criminal class in America.” Family Pension Suggested. Mr. Taber in his letter to Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of prohibition, advanced the suggestion that “Congress should provide a pension of at least $10,000 to the family of every enforce- ment official murdered while in public service.” “I am so happy,” wrote Julia Mc- Campbell, “that your paper is going to raise a fund for the York family. I think every person who is at all inter- ested in law enforcement would be happy to contribute to this. To me that man was a martyr to the cause of prohibition. Surely the Christians will respond. I do pray your paper will give publicity to this needy family. I am ;w;uln( $5 and hope to send more ater.” Additional contributions may be mailed to the cashier of The Star.
