ATTORNEY President Did Only Practica- ble Thing in Using Troops, Says Rover. Vigorous defense of President Hoo- ver's action in calling out Federal troops to evict the bonus army was made by United States District Attor- ney Leo A. Rover, speaking at a largely attended Republican rally last night in the Willard Hotel. Declaring the President merely per- formed his constitutjonal duty when he complied with the request from the Dis- trict Commissioners for troops, Mr. Rover sald Mr. Hoover acted as any other real American would, and that if he had not responded to the Commis- sioners’ appeal he would not have been worthy of being in the White House. ‘The United States attorney said it | was only upon the appeal from the Commissioners that the President sent troops into the city, and that the Com- missioners in their appeal made it plain the situation had gotten out of the hands of police authorities. He added ke did not care whether the superin- tendent of the Washington police did or did not tell tte Commissioners that | the calling out of troops was necessary. All Policemen Used. | Mr. Rover added that every available | result, 500000 citizens of the Capital | were virtually without police protection. “If that situation had been permitted | to continue throughout the night.” Mr. Rover said, “the criminal elements—by that I don't mean the bonus marchers, but the usual criminal element to be found in any large city—would no doubt have taken advantage of the absence of police from other sections of the city and all sorts of crime might have' fol- lowed. Criminals always are snooping around for just such opportunities for | depredations” Regarding the firing of the bonus marchers’ huts and shacks, Rover made | no attempt to settle this point other | than to say that if soldiers had burned | these huts they did so without orders. | He added that by that time every man, | woman and child in that area had had | ample opportunity to get away and| they had plenty of time to take their THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

The drop caused the level to recede to its position of one month ago, the de- partment said. Declines in the average prices of farm | products, foods, fuel and lighting, and metals and metal products occurred during the week. The index figure for textile products, chemicals and drugs and household furnishing goods re- | mained stationary. - Two other commodity groups—hides and leather products and building ma- terials—recorded advances, as did “mis- cellaneous” commodities. ‘The increase in prices on hides and leather products ~during the week brought thelr index number to the highest point since May, the index | figure having advanced a full point, according to the department. The: rise | in building materials brought the index number for th'. group to the highest | figure record.d for any week since 1 July 9. | The index number of wholesale prices, | which includes 784 commodities. stood | at 65.4 for the week ending Scptember] 17. This figure compares with 65.7 for the week ending September 10, with 65.5 for the week ending September 3, 652 for the week ending August 27, and with 65.4 for the week ending Au- gust 20. The figure of 65.4 compares with the average of 71.2 for September | last year, 84.4 for September, 1930, 96.1 | September, 1929, and 98.6 for Septem- ber, 1928. | The figures are based on 1926 prices | as 100.

JUDGE HITT FREES LIQUOR DEFENDANT Personally Inspects Trilling Home and Decides Police Evi- dence Wrong. A charge of possession of liquor against Henry Trilling, 26, was dis- missed yesterday when Police Court Judge Isaac R. Hitt, after a personal inspection of the house where the man was arrested, decided police had been mistaken in their testimony. The officers told Judge Hitt that they went to the house in the 400 block of Eleventh street southwest August 31 without & warrant of search after re-| ceiving & complaint that a stlil was being operated there. They knocked at the door and when Trilling opened it they stated they looked down a hallway and saw two jugs of liquor “straight| ahead in a rear room.” Trilling declared that it had been | impossible for police to see the jugs as he had closed an inside door before they arrived. Then an officer main- tained in his testimony that there was no_inside door. Upon the suggestion of Defense At- torney Charles Ford, Judge Hitt, in company with Assistant United States | Attorney Wilbur Baughman and Clerk Joseph By, went to the house. an inside door there, all | right.” Judge Hitt said today, “and it would have been impossible for the | officers to see the jugs if it was closed as the defense maintained.” RUSH PRINTING EXPERT SERVICE HIGH GRADE —NOT HIGH PRICED L R R neannsns ] ENGINEER COMPANY OFF FOR FORT BENNING, GA.
