FAKE BOTTOM HIDES
758 HALF:-PINTS

The largest and one Of the most
cleverly concealed shipments Of
whiskey which have been brought into
Washington since the enactment OF
the Reed bone-dry law was confis-
Gated by Motor Detectives Rout and
Galpin, OF the Ninth precinct yester-
day evening, when a truck containing
a false bottom, under which was found
sixteen cases OF whiskey with 75s
half pints, was stopped after passing
the District line.
The owners of the truck are Clin-
ton and Archibald Delmage, brothers,
and proprietors of the Terminal
Apartment Hotel, a fishing resort, at
West Point, Va. Their attorney,
Robert 1. Miller, showed before Judge
Harrison. in the United States branch
of the Police Court, this morning,
that the liquor was in transit, and de-
manded a jury trial.
When first stopped by Detective
Rout the men denied having liquor.
1t was only after a careful investiga-
ton was made that the false bottom
was discovered. The construction
was so careful that the boards were
each screwed over the whiskey. It
took several hours work at No. 9
precinct, by the officers. to uncover
the sixteen cases.

Our Local Appointments.

Darr admired Lancaster's verbal
pyrotechnics, but insisted that until
the District Of Columbia has a meas
ure of independence in suffrage he
could not become aroused over Ire
land
II Mr.. Darr is supported by the
Board of Trade that body will ap-
prove of a bill that will require the
District Commissioners to divide
local appointments on an exactly
even basis, numerically and finan-
rislIy.
I'VE can well AFFORD to support such
y law" Mr.. Darr said. The truth
IL that not 80 per cent Of positions in
he District municipal service are
Eiven TO District people. They get
some of the minor clerkships and the
aboring jobs, but virtually all the
good positions are given to citizens
pr States who have the backing Of
influential Senators and Representa-
ives.
THE District Commissioners are
practically helpless to do otherwise.
rhe majority Of the Commissioners are
political appointees themselves. They
~ ever so hard, as a rule, to give
recognition 20 local people in appoint
nents, but their files are full OF let
ers from Senators and Representa-
ives making recommendation for
positions. It is difficult and unwise
10 ignore these recommendations.
|The District must depend for its ap-
'propriations upon Congress and the
commissioners cannot afford to ignore
the source Of the local expense &C
count"

Commission in the Senate Office
Building today, to urge moro ade-
quate quarters for delinquent chill
dren and young women arrested in
the District
Only eight rooms now can be used
for delinquent children in the pres
emit quarters, Judge Sellers told the
commission AS many as thirty-one
children have been detained in
single day.
zone hot day last week twenty-six
children were detained in these
rooms" said Judge Sellers. Upon
learning OF 1t, I made every effort to
obtain speedy action by the court
in their cases and to have these chill
dren released in the custody OF prop
er persons"
These conditions should not be al
lowed to continue this summer, she
told the commission, as 1t would re-
suit not only in handicapping the
work OF the Juvenile Court, but also
is unjust to the children.
Judge Sellers urged the commission
to consider a proposal to use the old
6LneEBenCy hOSplIal OulldlngY now
occupied by the Marine Hospital Di-
vision of the Public Health Service,
as a house Of detention for the Dis
trict.
Officials OF the Public Health Serv-
ice were asked by Senator Smoot,
chairman Of the commission. to re-
port as to the advisability Of using
the old Emergency Hospital building.
Today's hearing was to ascertain
the amount OF space in all Govern
ment departments or the District that
can be given up with a view ulti-
mately to eliminating rentals by the
Government A survey Of the Gov
eminent office space has been made
by the Public Buildings Commission
and officials OF the various depart
ments were granted hearings to de-
termine their immediate needs.

FORD BUYS BENNING
RACE TRACK, RUNOR

Rumors Of a tremendous boost to

Bennings race track property to
Henry Ford were current in real es-
tate circles today.
could be obtained up to noon, how
ever. Samuel Ross, OF the firm of
Barber & Ross, who is president of
the Washington Jockey Club, owners
and former operators of this plant,
declared that as far as he knew there
was no truth in such a rumor. No
other stockholders of the club could
be -~ached this morning.
1t is known that the Ford Company
is planning to place plants in various
parts OF the country and an effort has
been made by both the Merchants &
Manufacturers Association and the
Chamber OF Commerce to induce Mr..
Ford to local one of his plants here.
That the Ford Company does things
on a tremendous scale is we'll known,
and should a "flivver plant" be To-
Gated here it would attract thousands
of workers from outside the District
of Columbia.
The race track at Bennings has not
been operated for the last ten years,
and the grandstand and other build
ings are falling to pieces. Racing at
this place was closed by a rider in
a bill passed by Congress to widen
the Bennings road, which prohibited
betting at the Bennings race track.

ANOTHER BITES FOR
POCKETBOOK TRICK

The time-worn pocketbook trick
today claimed another victim when
Leonard Jones, colored, 1914 c street
southeast, was swindled out of $23 by
two negroes at the Union Station.
Jones was standing in the Union
Station when he was approached by
colored man who represented him
self as a stranger in the city. and en-
gagged Jones in a conversation.
A second negro appeared and told
the pair that he had found a pocket
book containing 500 and as he only
had few minutes to catch a train he
would give them the pOcketbook for
$40. Jones gave him S23 and the two
colored men left Jones to get the
500 bill changed. After waiting an
hour. the two negroes failed to re-
turn and Jones went to the Sixth pre-
cinct, where he reported that he had
been swindled.
