By the Associated Press Congress completed its lengthy labors on the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill late yesterday when the House, with a wild outburst of cheering, put its final stamp | of approval on the document by a vote ' of 222 to 153, and placed upon the shoulders of President Hoover the ques- tion whether it shall become law. There was no doubt in the minds of administration leaders in both Houses that the President would afix his sig- nature to the bill, probably this week, after he has studied its complex pro- visions and obtained the counsel of experts and interested Federal depart- ments.

CHICAGO, June 14.—A 55-to-1 shot in the betting, owned by a former Memphis, Tenn., corner grocery store- keeper, who was nearly flat broke be- fore the race started, dropped out of the clouds today to win the $50,000 American Derby at Washington Park, in one of the most startling upsets in turf history. The victor was Reveille Boy, never before winner of an important race. While a sweltering crowd of 35,000 stood in silence, gasping in the excite- ment of the surprising finish, Reveille Boy galloped home to victory like a champion, beating the heavily played favorite, Gallant Knight, by four Five lengths back of him came Xen- | ofol, owned by Gifford Cochran of New York.

PRESIDENT LAUDS BRAZIL FRIENDSHIP Exchanges Felicitations With President-Elect Prestes at Pan-American Dinner. By the Associated Press. President Hoover last night at a din- ner to Julio Prestes, president-elect of Brazil, described the latter’s visit to this | country as “another evidence of that sincere and uninterrupted friendship which has always linked our countries together.” The distinguished Brazilian replied that the cordiality between the United States and Brazil and their citizens needed no “solemn assurances and by its irresistible affinity rises high above the conventional rules governing inter- national agreement,” the bonds of friendship, he continued, would endure forever independent of treaties. The dinner, the concluding function in honor of Dr. Prestes’ visit, was given by Brazilian Ambassador Do Amaral, at the Pan-American Union.

CHURCH ANNULS - HELEN'S DIVORGE Rumania to Refuse Entry to Mme. Lupescu, on Way From Paris. By the Associated Press. VIENNA, June 14—A news agency dispatch from Bucharest indicated to- day that King Carol had eliminated one more obstacle from his path as the monarch of Rumania. ‘The dispatch said the Rumanian Holy Synod had annulled the divorce decree which Princess Helen, now Queen Helen, had obtained from Carol two years ago. Six days ago Carol came out of four years of exile and was proclaimed King by the Rumanian Parliament. Since then he has ordered things to his liking. He annulled all laws enacted after his banishment in 1926 and said he con- sidered his wife’s divorce among them, thus enthroning her as his Queen. ‘The Queen was reported to have been backward about a reconciliation and interpreted the divorce as still valid, but if the News Agency obtained cor- rect information there is nothing, ex- cept possibly her personal feelings, to prevent her becoming once more wife as well as Queen. ‘There are indications that the Queen will relent and accept the man who deserted her for a commoner, Mme. Magda Lupescu. Queen Mother Marie has endeavored to reconcile the royal pair, it is understood, and it is reported the reconciliation will be announced soon at a family party in Queen Marie's palace. Although reports from London said last night that Mme. Lupescu was on her way to Rumania and at present was staying with a friend at Baden, near Vienna, police sald today they could find no evidence of her. It is said here that Rumanian au- thorities have declared Mme. Lupescu will be refused admittance to the country. CHINESE WILL ATTEMPT TO RESCUE MISSIONARY Foreign Office Orders Search for Father C. J. King, Seized by Bandits. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAL June 14—The foreign office announced today it had ordered that an attempt be made to rescue Father Clifford J. King, American Catholic missionary, from bandits who captured him in Honan province two weeks ago and demanded arms and am- munition as ransom. The order was sent to the Nationalist commanders in the Pepking-Hankow railway zone of southern Honan. Kidnaped from the Catholic mission at Sinyangchow, Father King's where- about is unknown and authorities said they were virtually helpless to rescue the missionary. TODAY’S STAR PART ONE—38 PAGES.

'C,, SUNDAY 1 SCADLS CTED AS FRE HAZARDS AFTERINSPEETIN Chief Watson and Architect Harris Sabmit Report to District Heads. 11 SUCCESSIVE YEARS WITHOUT CORRECTION Recommend Portables Now Use Be Replaced by Fire- proof Buildings. in Fire hazards in 14 public schools, called to the attention of the Board of Education for 11 successive years, have not yet been corrected, according to & report submitted to the District Com- missioners yesterday by Fire Chiet George 5. Watson and Municipal Archi- tect Albert L. Harris. The report, prepared jointly by E. L. Jones, fire department inspector, and J. E. Lyles of the municipal repar shop, also made a blanket recommendation that all of the flimsy one-room portable schools now in use be replaced by fire- proot buildings, The 14 schools condemned in the re- port are of the old type three-story brick buildings, having combustible floors and lacking proper fire escape equip- ment. These schools were listed Iollows: Curtis, on O street between ‘Thirty-second and Thirtylthird streets; Cardoza, at First and I streets south- west; Cardoza High School, on M street near First street; Dennison, on § street between _Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets; Force, on Massachusetts avenue | between Seventeenth and Eighteenth | streets; Gales, at First and G streets; Grant, on G street between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets; Henry, on P street between Sixth and Seventh streets; Lincoln, at Second and C streets southeast; Peabody, at Fifth and C streets northeast; Seaton, on 1 street between Second and Third streets; Stevens, on Twenty-first street between K and L streets; Summer, at Seventeenth and M streets, and the Webster, at Tenth and H streets, Fire Escapes Cited. , “Special attention is invited to 14 of the old-type three-story brick school buildings ~ having combystible floors,” sald the report. “Someof these build- ings are not properly equipped with the necessary number of fire escapes. Oth- ers are equipped with vertical ladder fire escapes, which are unsafe for chil- dren to use in case of emergency. These fire escapes are only fit for firemen to use while fighting fire. “Attention has been called to these schools in each annual report since 1919, but so far nothing has been done in this matter. These schools should be equipped with an outside fire stair- way or an inclosed fireproof stairway in a fireproof tower.” Only a single sentence is given to the recommendation for replacement of the portable schools with fireproof buildings, but the report outlines in considerable detail general steps that should be taken to reduce potential fire hazards in all schools. The report, however, said that conditions in the various schools were found to be “much improved” since the last inspection, but “much room” remains for further im- provement. Storing of Paper Unsafe. “In some instances,” the report de- clared, “it was found that waste paper and trash were burned at the end of each day. In others it was placed in burlap bags and removed about once a week by the District Refuse Depart- ment. The storing of waste paper and trash in burlap bags is very unsafe, since it is likely to cause fires. Sev- eral fires have occurred in schools in past years from just this cause. “In several previous reports, and again in this report, the recommenda- tion is made that accumulation of waste paper and trash be not permitted without making some provision to keep it safely until disposed of. Three methods are possible—i. e., dispose of it at the close of each day after school hours by burning it in the furnaces, or keep it in metal containers until dis- posed of, or bale it and place it in a fireproof compartment until hauled away. “All schools, with the exception of one or two, are wired for use of elec- tricity. If proper care is not taken in the use of various electrical appliances, such as electric irons in domestic science and sewing rooms, electric stoves in manual training rooms, etc., elec- tricity will have a tendency to increase the fire hazard in those schools. It is, therefore, recommended that wherever plugs or outlets are placed for the use of electrical appliances, a red pilot lamp be provided on the fixture, or a pilot light receptacle be provided to which the extension cord can be at- tached. Hence, when the small lamp is burning, it will denote that the cur- rent is on the electrical appliance, and when the Irplhnee is not in use the switch should be cut off or the plug removed from the outlet, causing the pilot light to go out. Recommend Self-Closing Doors. “Wherever doors are covered with | sheet metal and provided with wired glass (including transoms) have been provided at the head or foot of base- ment stairways, or at the openings leading from furnace or boiler rooms, or any other place, for the purpose of reventing the spread of fire, all should ge made self olosing, and be kept closed during schbol hours. Upon inspection several of these doors were found open. ‘This recommendation has been made in Several previous reports. It was found that practically all schools are equip- ped with fire resisting doors. “Conditions in basements and cel.’ lars of most schools are good. There are few cases, however, where there is room for improvement especially in the Jjanitors’ quarters, storerooms and boller rooms.” Other recommendations made in the report were that asbestos mats be placed in all domestic science rooms for use in beating out flames that might ignite clothing of the pupils; that the tops of laboratory tables be metal instead of ‘wood, and that school kuldings of more than eight rooms be equipped with elec- trical fire alarm systems. A copy of the report was forwarded to the school board by the Commission- ers without comment. Thirsty Citizens Parade.

FIVE CENTS IN WASHINGTON AND SUBURBS lTEN CENTS ELSEWHERE e DELIGHTED DADS’ DAY! | | HOODLUM BOYCOTT URGED IN CHICAGO Crime Body Letter Follows $6,000,000 Weekly Rev- enue Revelation. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 14.—The Chicago | crime commission tonight announced | the intention of attacking the hoodlum ! element's pocketbook and in a letter | sent to members advised economic boy- cotting of all businesses, landlords, pro- fessional men and bankers who “give aid and comfort to the enemy and are in reality partners in nefarious gangster operations.” Announcement came on the heels of the news story yesterday which placed the weekly revenues of illegal activities at approximately $6,000,000 in the Chi- cago area. The letter urged “decent citizens” to refrain from doing business with any one who trafficks with the hoodlums. Lawyers and Landlords Scored. “The citizens who do business with | gangsters become their allies. The law- yers who guide them in their lawless ventures, the landlords who lease to them hotels or buildings for their homes or business, the banks who safeguard their {ll-gotten gains, are in reality part- ners in their criminal enterprises.” Six weeks ago the commission pub- lished a list of 28 names, headed by that of “Scarface Al” Capone, which it called “public enemies,” urging relentless war- | fare against them. Six days after an underworld gunman killed Alfred (Jack) Lingle in a down- town pedestrian tunnel, police tonight had announced no progress toward solv- ing the reason for the murder or the identity of the slayer. There was no clue to indicate it might not be filed alongside the cases of Assistant States Attorney William McSwiggin and the hundred other gangland mysteries. But lack of progress in solving the assassination of the Tribune crime re- porter tonight led to clamorous demands by press and public for a clean-up of gangland. Police Commissioner Willlam Russell, a close friend of Lingle’s and target of numerous assaults on the ef- ficiency of the police department, to- day agreed to a conference Monday with the city council police committee, which has demanded that Russell get results or get out. | At the same time Col. Robert I. Ran- | dolph, president of the Association of | Commerce, called a meeting of the directors and officers of the association to consider new means of combating gang_outrages. Col. Randolph, in calling his meet- ing sald:*'We meet Monday to consider | the terrible conditions of lawnessness in Chicago and what measures should be taken for maintenance of ecivil govern- ment and protection of our citizens. There is & complete breakdown of law and order.” Mayor Thompson Criticised. Alderman Albert declared Mayor Wil- liam Hale Thompson had remained sllent regarding his demands for re- moval, at least temporarily, of Com- missioner Russell and Chief of Detec- tives John Stege. “There is no one in authority at the ctly hall to whom I may appeal. Its executive offices are empty and have been since the day Lingle was killed.” The police, rounding up all culprits they could find, arrested more than 1,200 during the week, but nearly all leaders admitted that of those seized none was of importance in the case. The asiassination of Lingle, along | with that of McSwiggin four years ago, | aroused much feeling, as theirs were the only two deaths in which Chicago gangsters murdered persons outside their own ranks.

By the Assoclated Press. DETROIT, June 14.—Conditions along the Detroit River during the first two weeks of operation of the new Canadian liquor export law have just about convinced _Col. J Pickert, collector of customs, that com- mercial smuggling of liquor has ceased. | “Once in a while some fellow tries to get across with a few bottles under is raincoat,” sald Col. Pickert today, | “but that is an entirely different propo- sition from the smuggling of thousands of cases a month.” Col. Pickert isn't sure yet whether it is a permanent peace or an enforced armistice in the liquor war zone. “'Of course,” he said, “we don't know whether they are going to reform or try something else.” 9,000 Lived in U. §. “There were at least 10,000 men in the rum-running racket,” the collector declared, in answer to a question, “and I should say that at least 9,000 of them lived on the United States side of the border.” Three weeks ago these men were en- gaged, 50 far as their starting point, Canada, was concerned, in a perfectly legitimate business. They registered their whiskey, wine, beer and gin for export with the Canadlan government. Their activities on the Canadian side of the border were open and above board. American customs officers stood on thelr own side of the river and watched their movements. It was only when the runners’ boats crossed the imaginary line in the middle of the river that they were forced to play hide and seek with the officers—a game in which the stakes were large and the hazards great. 35,600 Cases Registered. During the last month of such op- erations the runners registered 35,600 cases of whisky for export, and got into the United States with a great deal of it. This was the low mark in | the industry. In May, 1929, before the | customs blockade was so well organized, and before the threat of Canadian in- terference loomed, 118,000 cases were shipped. “It's all different now,” said Col. “There is no activity over on the Canadian side.” But, Col. Pickert emphasized, Amer- ican vigilance is not relaxed. “We're not just here to keep liquor out. There are other things to look after. Liquor is contraband, like narcotics and aliens. We still have the allens as a big problem. There are thousands of them in Canada, waiting for a chance to sneak in. Then there is regular commercial smuggling of furs and other articles to be combated.” Col. Pickert is inclined to laugh at stories that the rum runners are per- fecting a new syst2m. One rumor is that they will bill their goods to some other country and then move them to the United States. Col. Pickert said he had too much respect for the effective- ness of Canadian law and the stiff bond required of exporters to believe that this will be atter it Heinrich A, | 5 TAKEN INRAIDS UPON 12 PLACES Federal and Local Dry Forces Seize Variety of Wet Evi- dence in Unusual Drive. Staging one of the most effective drives made against District violators of the prohibition law in years, com- | bined Federal and local dry forces took | 25 persons into custody and seized a | vast quantity of assorted liquors in a | simultaneous attack upon 12 alleged speakeasies early last night. Sharply at 7 o'clock the squads swung into action and raided the places to which they were assigned by Deputy Prohibition Administrator W. R. Bland- ford and Police Sergt. Oscar J. Letter- man, leader of the vice unit, after two weeks of careful planning. The raiding officers met success in all but one of the establishments they had “spotted” for the attack. The drive climaxed s day of intense activity among police prohibition units in which many prisoners were taken and evidence was confiscated. In the largest seizure made in the raids conducted under direction of Blandford and Letterman last night, police arrested Mrs. Anna Q. Moore, 23 years old, at her home, 1234 Montello avenue northeast, after finding 480 bottles of beer and one pint of gin. Mrs. Moore was booked at the ninth precinct station on a charge of posses- slon, while 12 men found at her house when the police entered were charged with disorderly conduct. Doors Found Barred. The vice squad under the command of Sergt. Letterman struck at the home of James F. Saunders, 30, of 1115 Third street northeast and arrested Saunders for alleged illegal possession, sale and maintaining & nuisance, after beating their way through two sturdily-barrcd doors. Saunders ran to a rear window on the second floor while the raiders were smashing in the doors and tossed sev- | eral 5-gallon jars of whisky into an alleyway, police reported, narrowly missing several persons in & crowd of nearly 300 men, women and children that gathered at the rear of the place when attracted by the noise of the | sledge hammers wielded by police. But for Pvt. James A. Mostyn | Saunders undoubtedly would have suc- | ceeded in his alieged efforts to destroy evidence.

ONLY HOPES OF DRYS LIE IN FORT’S CHANCES Wiseacres Expect Morrow Victory by 50,000 to 75,000—Democratio Problem Less Involved. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. NEWARK, N. J, June 14.—New Jersey voters go to the polls Tuesday to determine whether Dwight W. Mor- row, Ambassador to Mexico, or Joseph B. Frelinghuysen, former Senator, both opposed to a continuance of national prohibition, or Representative Franklin W. Fort, a supporter of the eighteenth amendment, shall be the Republican nominee for the Senate next November. ‘The prohibition issue and the three- cornered race have the Republicans in a stew. The Democratic voters have an easier task. They are going to nomi- nate State Senator Alex Simpson foy the long term and Miss Thelma Park< inson for the short term, which ends March 4 next. The Senate seat for which the candidates are seeking party nomination was held by Am Walter Edge, now in Paris, The wets will have one senatorial candidate in this State after the pri- mary in any event. They may have two. The Democratic nominee for the long term, Simpson, is a wringing wet, and Miss Parkinson, although person- ally a dry, will go along with her party platform, which will favor repeal or modification of the dry laws or both. If Mr. Morrow or Senator Frelinghuy- sen should win the Republican nomina- tion. the November election would be & wet affair. The drys only hope is Franklin W. Fort. If he is beaten in the primary they have no one to turn to, except perhaps Miss Esther H. Elfreth, a mem- ber of the old Prohibition party, who has filed as an independent. It is rec- ognized that with her, however, the drys can get nowhere, Assurance for Morrow, Mr. Morrow is the only one of the three principal candidates for the Re- publican senatorial nomination who has had the temerity to file for nomination for both the short and long terms, John A. Kelly, the Republican entry and a wet, who will poll only & come paratively small vote, also has filed for the short term. Mr, Morrow's nomina- tion for the short term therefore is assured. A strange situation might arise under these circumstances. Should Mr. Mor= row be nominated for the short term only, and Mr. Fort win the nomination for the long term, the Republicans would have on their ticket next Fall a supporter of national prohibition re- peal and an advocate of continuing na- flenge prohibition, both candidates for the Senate, The long senatorial term, beginning next March and running for six years, is the big prize. Frelinghuysen and Fort have failed to file for the short term because they fear that some of the voters having marked their ballots for them for the short term, might not also mark for the long term. Mr. Morrow is not play= ing the game that way. So many factors enter into the Re~ publican senatorial contest that flat prediction of victory for any one of the candidates is still a gamble. In betti parlance, Morrow is a 50-50 shot, wit perhaps a shade better chance. Fort, the mystery man of the campaign, is rated a 4-to-5 bet and Frelinghuysen, 3 to 5. That's the estimate, by the way, of one of the shrewdest politiclans in the State in either party. Here are some of the “ifs” in this situation.

In one mound was a lone skeleton, believed by Sutton to be a tribal chief or ruler, while in the other larger mound three skeletons were found together. The tribal leader was found complete= ly incased in a chamber carefully pre- l’l“!d from large, flat rocks, sealed with clay.
