A—14 = HOWELL BILL FOES ATTACK FEATURES IN3HOUR HEARING Tydings and Author of Meas- ure ‘Question Witnesses Be- fore District Committee. WARRANT PROVISION HIT BY CRUSADERS ‘Women’s Prohibition Reform and Association Against Amend- ment Heard. ‘Opponents of the Howell dry enforce- ment bill for Washington had their inning before the Senate District com- mittee yesterday afternoon, debating the search-warrant feature, the penalty for furnishing liquor to minors and the sections relating especially to physicians, pharmacists and owners of buildings. With Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland, examining the witnesses to bring out the arguments in opposition to the bill, and Senator Howell, Repub- lican, of Nebraska, cross-examining them in defense of his measure, the session continued for approximately three hours. The witnesses included Miss Elizabeth C. Harris and Mrs. Frederick H. Brooke of the Women’s Organization for Pro- hibition Reform, Lee P. Warren of the Crusaders, another anti-prohibition group; Capt. William H. Stayton of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment; Dr. H. C. Macatee of the District of Columbia Medical Society, Rufus S. Lusk of the Operative Build- ers’ Association and J. R. O'Neal, wao spoke as an individual citizen. Mr. Warren centered his attack on the search warrant provision, under which warrants could be issued for dwelling property on information of the presence of a still or- knowledge that liquor had been taken to or from a place. Under the national law evidence of a sale is required to obtain a war- rant for a dwelling. The speaker also protested against the special penalties for furnishing liquor to minors and the clause applying to physicians. Test Made of Public. While discussing the latter feature of the bill Warren turned to the crowd | which filled the committee room and inquired if there was a man or woman present who would not break the law for a loved one who might be iil. He invited any who would not do so to stand. Four men stood up immediately, one of them telling the speaker, “You may take my picture if you like.’ ‘Those who stood up were Andrew ‘Wilson and Albert E. Shoemaker of the District Anti-Saloon League; E. B. Dunford, general counsel of the Anti- Saloon League, and Albert Stabler. “You have your criminals in this room, with the exception of four,” said Mr. Warren. “What a sad commentary on a proposed law.” Dr. Macatee of the Medical Society objected only to the clause under which a physician or pharmacist would have his license to practice suspended for one year following a second violation of those sections of the national pro- sthmn tl;w applying to physicians and rug 7 bggls Macatee took the position that a doctor should not be deprived of his right to earn a livelihood after he has paid the penalty prescribed by law for a violation, - Miss Harris said the District Council of the Women's Organ- ization for Prohibition Reform was started recently and has a local mem- bership of 1,200. Miss Harris said the organization stands for temperance and holds no ‘brief for bootleggers, but favors all proper means to restrict their activities. She took the view, however, that the end, in this case, would not justify the means proposed. Referring to the search and seizure provision, she said: Theory and Practice. “In theory it is aimed at the boot- Jegger, but in practice it will be aimed at the sanctity of homes of law-abiding citizens.” Referring to the desirability of mak- ing Washington a model city, Miss . Harris said her definition of such a “pommunity would be “that city in which Tfhe laws of the country were most horoughly administered, with a just ~balancing of all the guarantees in the i Constitution, rather than the stressing “of one law.” In cross-examining the witnesses, Senator Howell contended that 26 States have laws for the issuance of search warrants on evidence of posses- sion, and declared that his Lill is less drastic than the Sheppard law, which made Washington dry 13 years ago be- fore national prohibition. Mr. Lusk appeared to protest against a section of the bill which would make the owners and lessees of buildings liable if they failed to take all reason- able measures to prevent the use of their properties as common nuisances, under the Volstead law. “I take it this section is intended to make every owner and agent a prohibi- tion agent,” said Mr. Lusk. “If it isn't for that, what is the pi P He declared that local realtors are already co-operating with the District attorney’s office in seeking to get rid of uisances. % Senator Howell contended his bill is only a rewriting of the Sheppard law and he did not believe the conditions referred to by witnesses had occurred under that law. This was the second hearing on the Howell bill. At the first meeting several weeks ago police of- ficlals in charge of prohibition enforce- ment testified in support of the meas- ure.

Reports which late last night set the entire machinery of the Police Depart- ment on the lookout for the two al- leged abductors of & girl in George- town, today turned out to concern two policemen off duty and the wife of one of the officers. Shortly before midnight Henry Bragg of the 3400 block of R street rushed into the seventh precinct station house and told officers on duty there that he had witnessed'the abduction of & young woman by two men, giving police the license number of the car. Look-outs -were sent. out from police headquarters to police in every part of the city and nearby Maryland for the car. Guards were placed on all roads leading out of the city. Maryland police were asked to aid authorities, and the tag numbers dis- closed that the machine had been sold to_a Washington policeman. Meanwhile, one of the two officers, both of whom were unaware of the furor they had created, reported for duty at the fourteenth precinct, while the other and his wife returned home with the car. Policeman Victor F. Cannon, who was driving the automobile, accompanied by his wife, told Sergt. Bourke that they had stopped at Wisconsin avenue and R street, where the abduction was re- ggflzd to have taken place, to pick up liceman Ernest L. Lake and drive him to No. 14 precinct, where Lake is a station clerk. Lake and Cannon were great) prised to hear of the “abduction.” SERMON BY DR. CLARK Chancellor to Preach at Metropoli- tan M. E.

COMMENT IS WITHHELD ON SALARY INCREASES Proposals to Prohibit Experiments on Living Dogs and to Create Lincoln Museum Hit. ‘The District Commissioners today sent to Congress a large batch of re- ports on pending legislation, much of it having to do with items carried in the supply bill for the next fiscal year which require authorizing legislation. A bill to continue Dr. William Tin- dall in the service of the District was strongly indorsed. Unless this bill is passed Dr. Tindall will be automatically retired August 20 next. The report on this bill reads: “Dr. Tindall has given the District of Columbia, both under the present form of government and under previous forms of government, loyal and effi- clent service. He is now 86 years of age and is active, both mentally and physically, and if his service with the District of Columbia is extended, as authorized by this bill, it is believed that he will be able to perform for some time to come the good services now rendered. While special legisla- tion of this character is unusual, the Commissioners feel that the very large public sentiment in favor of the re- tention of Dr. Tindall would justify a special consideration of his case.” Dr. Tindall is in charge of the bureau of information at the District Building. He was formerly secretary to Gov. Shepherd and to the temporary and permanent commissions which governed the District. Salary Raise Is Proposed. ‘The Commissioners declined to ex- press any opinion on a bill to fix the salaries of the office of District Com- missioner at $10,000. The two civilian Commissioners now receive $8,000 and the Engineer Commissioner $9,000. After some service, if the Commission- ers decide that their efficiency ratings warrant it, they may recommend to themselves that their salaries be raised to $8500 and may then, sitting as a board, approve their own recommenda- tions and raise their own salaries. The bill was proposed by Senator Arthur Capper, chairman of the Senate Dis- trict committee, Bills to allow the District to sell at 26, 1930. “BETTER HOMES” TREE PLANTED BY WILBURS Flowering crabapple tree which will brighten the grounds of the Girl Scouts’ little house at New York avenue and Eighteenth street, planted by Secretary of the Interior Ray Lyman Wilbur and Mrs. Wilbur. —Star Staff Photo.

A bill to allow the Board of Education to use the present Business High School Bullding as soon as the Roosevelt High School Building is completed, to relieve congestion in senior high, junior high and elementary schools !n the adjacent territory, was likewise approved. Street Closings Approved. The Commissioners approved s bill providing for the closing of certain streets and alleys in the Fort Reno N. | section, necessary to the completion of grade plans for the new Alice Deal Junior High School.

A bill to permit the District to dis- pose of combustible refuse from the Maryland and _Virginia territories adjacent to Washington in the Dis- trict'’s new incinerators, about to be built, was approved. ‘The Commissioners disapproved a bill to prohibit experiments upon living dogs, saying that this ,subject is now covered by appropriate legislation. A bill to establish a National Lincoln Museum in Ford’'s Theater was disap- proved. A bill to amend the school teachers’ retirement act by granting annuities to 14 teachers who resigned from the service prior to June, 1919, was also disapproved. ‘The Bureau of the Budget had re- ported unfavorably on the last two.

The only changes which have been made in the engine, it was stated by Stanley Hedburg of New York, who will be in charge of the demonstration, involve the replace- ment of the carburetion system by fuel injectors and pumps for each cylinder, Each cylinder thus is able to function independently of the others and the cutting out of one or more cylinders does not stop the engine. Because of more efficient burning of the fuel, it is claimed, the power of the engine when using gasoline is materially increased.

PROGRAM OF BUILDING CHANGES FLOW OF CARS Street Railways’ Exee\lfinl-Attend Conference, but Views Are Not Made Public. The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission may hire an expert in | transit problems as the result of a con- {ference held yesterday afternoon in the Navy Department Building. The re- location of street car tracks and facili- ties to meet the needs of the new public buildings in the triangle will be one of the primary questions in a study of the whole problem, now under way. Street car executives and their associates und members of the commission and its staff participated in the conference, Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, vice chair- man and executive officer of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission, and his associates on the staff will take up the question of the employ- ment of an expert. Another possibility that is being considered is the feasibility of going over the past reports on transit problems that have been made for the commission to formulate a new program. The concensus of the meeting was that four of the most important con- siderations in the study must relate to :;1:0 ksl:lree:“ gflwnlys, heavy and light g ic, pleasure-car traffic a; bus traffic. = s Merger Figures in Selution. Any solution of the problem, it was sald, must be based on the idea of one street car company or upon a unified use of street car tracks, as additional in the downtown section of the city is considered inadvisable. What the street car executives sald about this phase of the problem in the closed meeting was not revealed. Any tentative plan decided upon will have to be discussed with Secretary Mellon, the Board of Architectural Con- sultants, the District Commissioners and other interested groups. Conditions have been altered since the last reports were made, it was said, as additional large downtown office structures have 'n erected, some new hotels have been constructed and in many instances, th :’h:neur{‘ :‘x the fiiopeul;y uflhe::mg the nsportation uation peen changed. Fourteenth Street Is Illustration. As an instance of the eomglmcy of the problem, Capt. Chisholm cited Fourteenth street, which is now heavily laden with traffic, due to the Virginia- bound cars and the automobiles that ting Onto this busy thoroughfare, he said, will be thrown additional traffic when the new Detnrtnwnt of Commerce Building, which will be one of the larg- est office structures in the world, is opened. In addition to Fourteenth street will be called upon to bear further E:h‘l tl:um wlgfl the t;:w lgel'ngtment of ture Building into com- mfl;fll B Attending yesterday's conference were John H.

About 1927 a traffic and transit survey was made for the National Capital Park and Planning Commission by Harland Bartholomew. and associates, traffic and city ghnmn; experts of St. Louis, Mo. Of surveys have been made from time to time, but this is considered the most extensive ever made here. A traffic count made a couple of days ago by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, in co-operation with interested civic agencies, is being studied and correlated with viously made investigations.
