BROWN PRAISED AND CRITIGIZED Lincoln Park and West End Citizens’ Assoication Take Action. Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintend- ent of police, was both defended and criticized last night by citi: ens' asso- ciations of the District. The Lincoln Park Citizens' Associa- tion commended the chief as “an out- standing administrative officer,” and particularly praised his work in organ- izing the police boys' clubs At the meeting of the West End Citizens’ Association, representing an area where Brown was once a patrol- man, a similar resolution was pro- posed, but because of his role in the so-called ‘“gentlemen’s agreement” to supplant Assistant Supt. T. B. Bean with Inspector Albert J. Headley, the proposal was tabled. J. T. Albers, chairman of the Police and Fire Committee of the Lincoln Park organization, declared that Brown has won the “admiration of all the citizens of the District” through his efficient handling of the Police De- partment. J. H. Gerone, a special policeman, who proposed the commendatory reso- lution at West End, made a similar declaration, but the organization de- clined to vote confidence in the police chief after a prolonged debate. SENATE TO STUDY HOLT ELECTION ON HATFIELD PROTEST (Continued From First Page.) he was not eligible at the time of his election last November and that he was not eligible at the time the term of office for which he was elected be- gan on January 3. They hold that if it is legal for Holt to have been elected to a term as Senator when he would not be eligible until six months after term began, it would be equally legal for him to be elected to a term when he would not be eligible to gerve until a year, two years or even five years after his election. Such a condition would deny to the State of West Virginia its right to be repre- sented in the Senate at all times by two Senators, a right provided in the Constitution. The Constitution lays down three = qualifications for Senator. One that a Senator must be 30 years old The second is that he must have been & citizen of the United States for nine years and the third is that he must be a resident of the State of which he 18 elected a representative. Rely on Shields Case. One of the precedents on which the opponents of Holt particularly rely was the case of Gen. James Shields, who was elected as a Democrat to the Senate from Illinois for the term com- | mencing March 4, 1849. Upon his ap- pearance to take his seat March 5, 1849, a resolution was presented rais- ing the question of his eligibility on the ground that he had not been a citizen of the United States for the number of vears required by the Con- stitution. Shields took his seat March 6, but March 15 the Senate declared his election void. ‘The Senate at that time made a point of the fact Shields was not eligible to become Senator under the terms of the Constitution at the time when the term for which he was elect- ed began. This case seems to be on all fours with that of Rush D. Holt. ‘The supporters of Holt point to the fact that Henry Clay became a Sen- ator from Kentucky when he was only 29 years old. There is apparently no record to show, however, that any ob- Jjection was ever raised to the seating | of Clay on account of his age, nor that the question came before the Senate at all. Claimed Self E ‘The memorial presented to the Sen- ate Committee by opponents of Holt sets forth that under the State law of West Virginia, Holt filed a statement at the time of the Democratic primary last year stating he was qualified for the office for which he aspired to be a candidate. The contention is made that he was clearly not qualified under the terms of the Constitution. | Former Senator Hatfield, in his con- test against Holt, lays claim to the election. There is no slightest chance, | however, that Hatfield would be de- clared elected, if the Senate should | refuse to seat Holt. Hatfield trailed far behind Holt in the election count. ‘The Governor of West Virginia, a Democrat, would appoint to fill the vacancy. He would, of course, appoint | & Democrat. The Democrats in West Virginia have been rather badly split into fac- tions, with the Governor, Clem Shaver, and other leaders heading one faction, and Senator Neely heading another. Holt is of the Neely faction. Clem Shaver was favored by Postmaster General Farley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, dur- ing the primary campaign last year. Senator Borah of Idaho is one of those who maintains that Holt clearly vwas not eligible under the Constitution to become a Senator at the beginning of the term of office for which he was elected.

The little lady was game, however. Last night she tried her mid-air spin again—and made it. Such are the thrills that go to make up “the biggest show on earth,” than which, of course, the circus press agent swears there can be no bigger. Perhaps the most spectacular thrill of all, however, was the repeating cannon, which fired two human bullets across the tent into a net. The bullets were the Brothers Zacchini, self-styled “human projectiles,” who allow themselves to be shot through space by compressed air. A few weeks ago crowds in Madison Square Garden received a fright almost equal to that of Brother Hugo when something went wrong with the compressed air and he was imprisoned in the barrel under high pressure for five or six minutes. “They had to take me home,” grinned the German. “She stuck with me, our big cannon. Always, I think before we go in there—I don't want our cannon to stick!” o SUIT AGAINST CIRCUS CHARGES ROAD DAMAGED A damage suit for $3,000 against Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey Circus was filed in District Supreme Court today by the Commissioners on the ground circus wagons bringing heavy equipment into the city tore holes in the pavement of Benning road northeast.

PAY DESPITE NEW RELIEF SCALE ‘(Continued From First Page.) those affected will work for 12 con- secutive months. Because of long ! |lay-offs in the private construction | industry, they argued, the work-relief | wages will compare favorably with the | private figures when yearly totals are | | considered. “The security wages,” said President | Green, “are based upon unsound pre- | mise. They should be determined b conditions prevaillng in each locality.” In addition to criticizing the zoning | method of wage-fixing, Green said the | limit of one worker to a family was an unjust restriction. “I don't believe,” he said, “that one | worker earning $19 a month should | be expected to support a family of | four or five.” In general, the plans call for a 40- | hour, five-day week, and Mr. Roosevelt | said the monthly earnings would be‘ “in the nature of a salary,” with pay ! continuing when work is halted by inclement weather. Workers, however, | will be docked for absences, either vol- untary or because of illness. Divisions for Scale. Under the wage schedule, the coun- try is divided into four regions, with monthly earnings varying within each | according to density of population. | There also are four clasifications of labor—unskilled, intermediate, skilled | and professional-technical.

Meeting at Lang- BE“.'ANS Texas Flee as Homes Are Threatened. By the Associated Press. OKLAHOMA CITY, May 21.—Hun- dreds of families in Oklahuma and Texas moved to higher ground today as flood crests rolled toward their lowland homes. With the highest water expected here tonight, officials sponsored the removal of 300 families from the bot- toms of the North Canadian River as & precaution against an increase in the death toll, now standing at 13 in Texas, 6 in Oklahoma and 1 in Kansas. The women in the families, most of whom are living in makeshift shacks, bagged up emergency supplies for their stay in a tent city on higher ground. R. J. Benzel, Red Cross director, told the men to remain on their jobs. Pro- vision was made for safe storage of their heavy goods. Families Routed at Tulsa, At Tulsa more than a dozen families | quit the lowlands of the Arkansas River, which was nearing flood stage. West of Dallas 16 families were forced out of their homes when a levee surrendered to the terrific surge of a flood which inundated a thousand acres. Fearful of the rising water, farm- ers in Austin, Waller, Fort Bend and Brazoria Counties in Texas left their homes along the Brazos River, less than two feet below flood stage. After Oklahoma City police, fire- men, county, Red Cross and National Guard officers pooled their forces to sidestep a repetition of the sudden disaster caused by the North Cana- dian's outbreak of 1932, today's re- moval was dispatched with military precision. Trucks, blankets and cots were sent from Fort Sill. Home for Boys Threatened. Orval Mosler, city manager here, went to the “squatter camp” last night and assured the hapless throng they would have “three square meals a day” at the refuge camp. Northeast of Oklahoma City the Ca- nadian already was half a mile wide and threatened the Taylor Home for Boys. Water stood at the 11-foot stage and a top level of 15 feet was | expected. Southern sections of Dallas, Tex, | were covered with water for the first | time since the record flood of 1908, but the Trinity River there was re- ceding.
