in the next few minutes he
would get a couple of them.
Lured by the sweet strains
Of Porter's vocal organs, Police

found it, he says, he also dis
covered that Porter was Gagged

the patrol box, but met with so
much resistance that, in the
end, Porter went to the station

Accuses Lie DetectOr
Man of Having Aided
in COncealing Assets
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

BOSTON. March 6.-Harvard's "lie
detectOr," now under arrest at
Washington, is accused by Federal
agents here of doing the very thing
he invented the sphygnomanometer
to preVent-lying.
Scientists wondered when, in 1920,
William Moulton Marston, jr.. then
attending Harvard graduate school
announced to the world he had a
machine that could detect lying.
This device, the inventor claimed
had a. blood-pressure instrument
sufficiently delicate to record diff
ferences in pressure that ensued
when one started lying. The tell.
ing Of falsehood, Marston averred
entailed immediate increase of blood
pressure.
Creditors of the United Dress
Goods, Inc, for which Marston as
treasurer, filed a petition in bank.
ruptcy on December IA, 1921, after
succeeding his father as treasurer,
say he should have employed his
invention for their benefit.
Their charges started investigo
ton that caused a federal Crane
jury to return a secret indictment
charging the "lie detector'' witt
having aided in the concealing o1
assets of concern engaged ir
bankruptcy proceedings, and witt
having used the mails to defrauc
through the mailing of false finan
cial statements.
Marston Is going to be brough,
here for trial. He will have man,
visitors. One Of the first to cal
will be his ex-furnace tender. His
claim is one of the smallest of ar
army of personal creditors. Still
1t is more than 500.

District admitted to the Union as

Association last night that this
would eliminate the necessity for

Discussion of the proposal of
Statehood for the District continued
for nearly an hour after Perry had
concluded his address, but no action
was taken by the association on the
proposal.

the late r. Ross Perry, for many
years dean Of the Washington bar,
reviewed the history of the Dis

Manuel Says He Lived
Here on $50 Per Month,
But FavOrs Pay Boost
By TOM EVERRITT.
Cosmopolitan News Service.


$ One Congressman. at least, lived
on $50 per month during the Sixty
seventh Congress-, ended March 4.
He said so.
He is no other than Manuel Her
rick Of Oklahoma, daredevil stunt
flyer, etc., who was defeated after
serving one term.
But he is in favor Of increasing
Congressmen's salaries from $500
to $4,000 per year, as recently ad-
vocated by Congressman William
D. Upshaw Of Georgia. so he said
today.
Herrick said the reason he has
lived so cheaply is that he hasn't
tried to "put on dog" and, further,
that he isn't married.
Congressman Upshaw is q preach
err and lives, while in Washington,
in a modest way. He said he has
felt the pinch resulting from a
salary of $500 and the high cost
of living in Washington.
Leading hotels provide shelter
for 1913 Congressman, including
many Who have families. Apart
ment buildings shelter as many
more, leaving only a few who live
in actual homes"
The manager Of a leading Wash
ington hotel, where many states
men put up" today said it is Inn
possible for a Congressman and
wife, on a salary of $500, to live
on that salary at a first-claSs hotel;
that he must have other sources Of
income.
AS to the cost Of living in an
apartment, this man said 1t will
figure out approximately as follows:
rent, 1925; cook and maid, $125:
groceries, $40; clothing, 800, II
the wife gives or attends a few
parties. This makes total of
$3.50 per month against salary of
1926 per month.
He said these figures are for
just plain, systematiZed living, such
as the average business man ad.
heres to, with no extras Of any
sort.
He pointed to the fact that many
Congressmen--in fact, the most OF
them-in addition to having to live
In respectable quarters In keeping
with their positions in Washington,
also maintain residences in their
old home towns. Where q Con.
gresham has a family, he said, it
Is very trying life, unless another
source Of revenue. besides the salary,
is available.
NO Congressman could be found
VINO would come out flat-footed in
favor OF increasing the contents Of
the pay envelope, as they were re-
luctant to talk in favor OF raising
their own salaries, but 1t is known
that Upshaw's proposal has met
with more sympathy than his re-
cent outburst about congressman
who drink liquor and who carry
TASKS on their hips.

A special wave length and broad
