VioIators.

Did Frank Hickey, general pro.
hibition enforcement agent, employ
Masonic signs in order to implicate
two men in cases involving alleged

Shrine week?
This was the question brought up
at hearing yesterday before
United States Commissioner Mac
Donald on charges against NJ. f.
Scarborough, +. G.. Lampson and
three others taken into custody
during that period. 1t was alleged
that Hickey had employed the
aforementioned signs in making the
approximations.
Assistant District Attorney Kel-
ley at first objected to admitting
Masonic secrets into testimony, but
withdrew when James j. O'Shea,
attorney for four Of the defendants,
threatened to take the matter OF
admissibility to the District SUI
preme Court
The case was continued until
October /. The other three persons
implicated are Mrs. Dorothy Kid
well, Louise kekes and Chris

COMPTROLLER
To HAVE NEW
OFFICES
State, War, and Navy Esti-
mates Will Provide for
Modern Buildings.

The offices of the Comptroller
General of the United States and the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue, their
work badly hampCred by make-shift
quarters at present provided them,
will be housed in new buildings as
units If items for such construction
are included in estimates for the
State, War and Navy building group
as requested by the Public Buildings
Commission.
The general accounting office, fall
ing under the Comptroller, a direct
result of an efficiency drive by Con-
gress, is a shining example of opera
tive inefficiency, it is said, its force
scattered in more than a dozen build
ings. A new structure would allow
Of a saving of some $75,0 900 in up
keep expenses, it is declared.
The quarters Of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue are said to be in bad
repair, and only emergency expendi
lures recently made will enable this
division to retain them during the
coming fiscal year.

there, regardless of the traffic
regulations, provided our drivers
