A—16 «¥ WOOD CUNGALLED DLLINGER MTH Woman Sheriff Also Ab- solved of Blame in Probe of Jailbreak. By the Associated Press. FORT WAYNE, Ind, April 5— James R. Fleming, United States at- torney for the Northern Indiana dis- trict, has received a report from in- vestigating agents of thr Department of Justice indicating, he sald, that: There was no “wooden pistol” in John Dillinger’s escape’ March 3, 1934, from the Crown Point, Ind., jail. The gangster had “outside” assis- tance. No evidence has been uncovered to involve Lillian Holley, then sheriff, or any jail attache. Sheriff Declared Innocent. “Sherift Holley was the innocent victim of circumstances,” Fleming said today. “The evidence shows Dil- linger’s escape may have been a genu- ine jail break.” The Department of Justice findings were reported verbally to Fleming last night by agents of the Bureau of In- vestigation who made an exhaustive inquiry into the escape which set off a Nation-wide hunt for the No. 1 pub- lic enemy, a search that cost the lives of several officers, civilians and gang- sters before Dillinger finally was killed on a Chicago street last July 22. Fleming said the agents later will submit a written account of their ac- tivities. The attorney noted that the inves- tigation completes the Government’s inquiry into the escape, and said evi- dence to support a charge, widely made after Dillinger fled, that he had “inside” aid. could be obtained only by a confession. Believes Gun Smuggled. “If there was an inside plot to| said, release Dillinger,” Fleming “that information is closely guarded by not more than four persons and is never likely to be revealed unless some one makes a confession.” He did not identify the four he re- ferred to. His own belief, Fleming went on, is that Evelyn Frechette, girl friend of the gangster, now serving a sen- tence in a Federal reformatory for harboring him, smuggled a pistol into the jail. The Federal agent’s report tended to repudiate a claim by the desper- ado’s relatives at Indianapolis, made several weeks after the Crown Point escape, that they had received the original “wooden gun” and that it was being held in a vault there. They were unavailable for comment early today. HAIRCUTS COST DIME Bhop's Anniversary Opens Race for Business in Town. FLORIDA. N. Y., April 5 (#).—By the time you read this barbers may be paying customers to come in for their haircuts here. Business is rushing. Customers are coming in from all over Orange Coun- ty for their haircuts. Men who have never indulged in “store shaves” are succumbing. 1t all began when one of the Flori- da shops held an anniversary sale and started cutting hair at 25 cents a head instead of the customary 40 cents. The rest of the barbers made it an outright price war. Today haircuts are selling for a dime and shaves for 5 cents. Another fVelcome To Roosevelt Talk Of New Dealers Return From Vacation Next Week Seen as % Opportunity. President Roosevelt is expected back at the White House early next week from his vacation cruising and fishing off the Florida coast, and friends of the administration are wondering if he is again to be accorded a reception by the gentlemen from Capitol Hill when he arrives at Union Station. When Mr. Roosevelt returned from a similar vacation last Spring he was greeted at the station by a large group of Senators and Representatives, who had marched in a body from the Cap- itol with the Marine Band playing lively airs, Mr. Roosevelt took the occasion of that brass-band welcome as a desire on the part of certain Democratic members of the Senate and House to ask his forgiveness for their mis- behavior while he was away and to let him know that they loved him just the same and intended to be good boys in the future. The President said that while he did not intend to be vindictive or harbor a personal grudge, he did in- tend to fight—if that was what Con- gress was looking for. While away on his vacation this Yyear no vetoes have been overridden and there has been no real spirit of open mutiny. But, on the eve of his departure. he gave party leaders in the Senate and House a memorandum of what he expected to be accom- plished in the matter of legislation while he was away. but thus far very little has been done.

Left to right: of Trade; Louise Trevey, Frances Hisey and Ethel Heyser. ITH a record number of conventions scheduled for this Summer and with a larger number of Spring visitors than usual in the city, the Greater National Capital Committee of the Washington Board of Trade has opened a housing bu- reau to assist in supplying accomoda- tions for its temporary residents. Hotels already have extraordinarily large reservation lists and thousands are expected without making previous arrangements for quarters while here. The reservations include some as far ahead as August, although the influx of visitors is expected to reach its peak at least two months earlier. Roy Miller, a member of the com- mittee's convention staff, has been put in charge of the housing bureau and he has been given a staff of as- sistants to list available rooms and to direct inquirers to proper places to find the kind of quarters they desire. Hotel Men Co-operate. The Washington Hotel Association, through W. M. Kockenderfer, secre- tary, is co-operating. Under the set- up. Kockenderfer will act as a clear- ing house for the hotels themselves, | keeping the committee informed when | tions are listed. Among the larger | hotels are full and where hotel space may be found. In addition the bureau is registering rooms in private homes and boarding houses to take care of whatever over- flow may arise. Already there has been such a de- mand for rooms that registrations and inquiring visitors kept the bureau staff busy last night until after midnight, according to Curtis Hodges, executive director. Because of the demand, sim- ilar hours will be observed tonight and will continue as long as demand re- quires. Scheduled to come to the Capital this month are 31 separate convention groups, including such large gather- ings as the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the American Red Cross.

The climax for the year is expected with the Shrine Conclave in June, when between 100,000 and 150,000 visitors are expected. During the same month the International Bible Students and the Edison Electric In- stitute will bring more than 1,500 visitors each. To date, 16 conventions have been scheduled for June and more are expected.
