 OPPOSES POLITICAL GIFTS
 Photographic advice was received Thursday by friends in Montgomery that Frank Morgan, member of the Alabama public service commission, had on that day read the repoEt of the committee on public utilities
 
 railway utilities commissioners in an nual convention at Miami,s Fla, which report was placed on record.
 This report was drawn up by Mr. Morgan, as chairman of the cimmit- tee. In this report the ground was taken that donations by public serv- ice corporations to educational and charitable institutions are not proper charge for operating ex- penscs The report states to allow them to be so charged would be to make the rate payer the real donor and that doubtless the rate payer would prefer to make his contribu- tion to worthy causes in own and un- der his own name.
 The instance was Cited in the re- port where a federal judge in Ala bama had recently allowed as an operating expense a contribution of $500 made by a utility to the cam paign fund of 8 candidate for the city commission where the lt:,A' is located and that an appeal had oe6n taken by the state commission.

BRING SUIT FOR ALLEGED
FAILURE TO MOVE CHURCH

p. Dudley was named defendant
In a suit filed today in the District
Supreme Court by A. D. Holder
trustee Of Ward Memorial African
Methodist Episcopal Church, for
$4,000 damages for breach of con-
tract.
Plaintiff, represented by Attor.
neys j. w. Glennan and M. G.
O'Brien, alleges that he made a con-
tract with defendant to remove the
frame church and parsonage from
one site to another and that the con-
tract, which was made April 10,
1929. was to be completed in sixty
eight working days. The building
was located at 100 Manning street
northeast, and its new location was
to be at AZ Brooks street northeast.
Holder complains that fourteen
months have elapsed, and that the
buildings have not been placed as
agreed upon. Plaintiff tells the
court that the condition of the build
ing Is endangered by the jacks and
supports OF the church having been
removed. He says he has also been
deprived of the use of the church
and has lost the revenue usually de-
rived therefrom.

HIKE HERE WITH

AND $40
Newport, R. l., Youths Make
Fast Time in Overland
Jaunt to Capital.

Ten dollars and toothbrush
was all the field equipment they
could find"-these two young mixers
who came into Washington with the
sun today, from Newport, r. I.
George F. Cozzens, jr., seventeen
years old, and Sydney D. L. Grea-
son, eighteen, started from Newport
on Thursday morning at $3.50 o'clock.
Their resources consisted of heavy
hiking apparel, a $40 bill and the
aforementioned toothbrush.
Their original intention was to
walk as far as S. would sustain
them and to return on the strength
Of the remaining cash.
When they got started, however.
they found that truck drivers and
tourists were only too willing to
give two boys lift along their way.
By nursing their financial assets
and sleeping only scattered eight
hours on the hike, they arrived in
this city today at 4:30 a. m.
They are visiting for the next few
days with HARDWOOD e. Read, claims
adjuster of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company and the Pc
tomac Electric Power Company. He
is young CoZzens' uncle.

SET FIRE: To

CANDY
Pungent 0dor Of Loaded
Sweets Arouses Suspicious
Of Liquor SIeuths.

Fifty pounds Of rum-filled bon-
bOns, each containing a thimble-
full OF imported rye, Scotch or
cordial, were dumped into the pit
at the Georgetown customs house
yesterday afternoon.
The liquorful chocolate drops
proved "spirituous" fuel, and when
they were fired residents about
Thirty-first and NJ streets north
west mistook the bursting Of the
bon bons for q premature celebra-
ton Of the Fourth Of July.
Owned by Merchant.
The charged" candy was the
property Of C. NJ. Guggenheimer. a
wealthy merchant Of Lynchburg,
Va, and Is the first case. Of the
kind to come within the jurisdiction
Of the Georgetown customs house.
Were 1t not for the fact that
some Of the loaded" sweets over
flowed in transit and emitted that
punishable odor" the precious con-
signment would probably have
reached its destination.
According to law. notice Of the
seized consignment was posted at
the customs office in Georgetown
and Guggenheimer notified in order
that he might file a protest tn
the Secretary of the Treasury.
Instead. Guggenheimer requested
that the candy be destroyed.
Contents Of Boxes.
The contents of the packages Is
made UP of pound boxes, each box
containing two layers of ordinary
looking, oblong- shaped chocolate
drops, twelve drops to the layer.
Close examination shows the candy
