in wild excitement at 2 o'clock this
morning when Hyattsville's far
famed whispering siren" beloved
like the Bull of Bashan and the fire
gong in Mt. Rainier jerked the volun-
teers out of their beds and into their
helmets in less than nothing flat.
The combined fire departments then
changed through the silent streets
with the clangor of fifty.seven wed
ding parties going through a boiler
works. With the half CARRIED popu.
lation of the town as an audience the
volunteers began battling a blaze
which had gained considerable head.
way in the home of Leonard Wilson,
on Spencer street.
One OF Mr.. Wilson's small children
had to be carried from the burning
house through a wall of flame. The
home Of Howard Smith, next door,
was endangered and was only saved
through quick action by the firemen
The roof and entire upper portion OF
the Wilson home were destroyed.
The speedy action of the Hyatts
vile fire department in getting q
strong stream of water on the blaze
and the quick run Of the Mt. Rainier
firemen to Hyattsville evoked favor.

SENATE HAITI PROBERS TO
HEAR STORY OF NATIVES

The special Senate COMMITTEES in
vestigating the American administra-
ton of Haiti left Washington today
for Philadelphia, whence they expect
to sail before nightfall for Haiti to
get "the other side" of the story with
respect to charges made against
Americans by natives.
The committee had made all plans
to sail last Saturday, but the pro.
longed Senate debate on the Ford
Newberry contest upset these plans.
The Senators received word from
Haiti today that native political lead.
ers. business men and others are
prepared to give a great volume of
evidence tending to prove injustices
at the hands Of the Americans.
I'VE will give them every chance
to tell the committee Whatever they
want to tell, and will afford them
the fullest protection" said Senator
Mccormick, Republican. Of Illinois.

Legislation for the District of Co
lumbia has been decidedly lean ssin
Congress since the special session VS.
convened in April. 1sg4
Both Senate and House have beeuto
immersed In larger affairs that thAy
have had little time to spare for
Washington. with the result that the
net total of legislative achievements
for the city appears very small. :.
Only two measures of outstanding
importance-the resolution extendIslG
the Ball rent act for a seven-mono1
period and the bill fixing the weix4t
of a standard loaf of bread in the oifv
have been passed by Congress -
the past eight months. To this ~,
possibly should be added the $2,00.0v
emergency appropriation for tie
schools.
Reconsideration legislation is at q
standstill and little progress has been
made upon public utilities legislation.
Hearings in both House and Senate
have been held on the question of q
street car merger, with the result that
the Woods bill is before the House
and the Jones bill is on the Senate
calendar. There is little prospect Of
early action on either of them.
Senator Ball, chairman Of the SEN
ate District Committee, expects to
bring in a report on the District SUI
frage question early In December. He
said today that the District committee
would give extended consideration to
the whole question Of the future po-
litical status of the District OF Co
lumbia.
1--WE are not going to let this matter
drag along" he said today. The Dis
trict may depend upon early action
by the committee"
Senator Ball will leave for his home
in Delaware tomorrow, but will return

lar session on December s.

UhDnINyI
President Refuses to Use InfIu-
snce in Naming of
New Chief.
HARDING

That the District Commiss ioners
viii be given a free rein in the ap-
continent of new major and super
intendent of the Washington police
force was the sentiment expressed in
official circles today after a dele
cation had gone to the White House
to induce President Harding to rec
omnhend the appointment of Col.
z. Harry Stanton for the place.
President Refuses Influence.
The delegation which consisted of
senators Wordsworth and Calder of
New York and Congressman Fish,
Hustled and Mondell majority leader
OF the House. called on the President
shortly before noon today and asked
him to intercede in behalf of Colonel
stanton. Senator Wadsworth, after
the conference, said that 1.-The Presi-
dent positively refused to make any
Recommendation in behalf Of Colonel
Stanton"
After leaving the White House
, the delegation went to the District
Building where they talked over the
situation with Commissioner James
f. Oyster, who has charge Of the
Oysters Attitude Withheld.
Wha. success they had with Com
missioner Oyster is not known.
Commissioners Rudolph and Keller
are on record as saying that they
would leave the selection of the new
chief of the Police Department to
Commissioner Oyster. They believe
that as Commissioner Oyster has the
supervision over the department that
he should be allowed to pick the
man whom he believes is the most
capable.
Commissioner Oyster said today
that no one had been finally selected
for the place and probably would not
be for a few days. The retirement Of
Major Gessford as head of the police
department does not take effect until
next Wednesday, he said, and there
was no hurry in naming the man until
the actual retirement of the present
head had been accomplished. 1t Is
believed, however, that the new man
will be named later in the week or
early next week.
Gessford Replies.
Major Gessford today replied to the
letter of commentator of his admin
istration which the Commissioners
sent him last week.
Il am in receipt or your commuhlca-
ton of November 10, 1921, in response
to my letter of November 49," Major
Gessford wrote. land / deeply ap-
preciate your expression Of confidence
in and approval of my efforts while in
the service of the Police Department"
Commissioner Oyster said that since
the announcement of the retirement
of Major Gessford, that he had re-
ceived scores of applications for the
place, both from men in the depart
ment and out.

Mrs. Harding Intervenes for
French Lad and Secures Re-
lease From Ellis Island.

Through intercession Of Mrs. Hard
ing, the pleas of a broken-hearted
French mother have brought about
release OF a hungry and penniless
French boy, sentenced to six months
in Jail on Blackwel's Island, New
York, for eating q meal for which he
could not pay.
Out of her own pocket Mrs. Harding
has paid the boys steamship fare
Rack to France and provided him with
the necessities for his trip and has
cabled to the mother the date of her
sons arrival.
The first appeal for release of the
boy. Charles Bret. was received at
the White House last July from the
mother. Madame c. Bret, Savoie,
France.
Gave Son In Action.
In her appeal the mother said that
her boy had been injured during the
war, and that his mind was not
functioning properly. His brother,
after winning the Croix de Guerre and
the military medal for gallantry, was
killed in action.
The mother asked that her son be
sent back to her so that she might
nurse him to health and bring him
back in the right path, and with all
my love and all my soul and with the
grace of God, to whom I pray ardent
ly. I shall have perchance the fortune
Of saving my child from ignominy."
Secures Parole.
The matter was taken UP with Mayor
Hylan when Mrs. Harding went to
New York with the President soon
after tho receipt of the letter and as
n result the mayor got the parole
commission to consent to the boys
release with the undertaking that he
return to France Immediately.
The boy was released and his pass.

paying all the expenses, including his
passage, war tax and head tax, the
total being s103. The sailing date was
