BOOKMAK|NG
TRIAL
Gordon Will Try to Circumvent
Ruling That Warrant
Was Invalid.

An application to the Court Of
Appeals for permission to file a
special appeal from the decision of
Justice Bailey of the District Su-
preme Court in the Keleher-Bur-
rows bookmaker case, is under
preparation by District Attorney
Gordon.
justice Bailey decided that the
search warrant in the case Of John
B. Keleher of 1886 I street north
west, charged with setting up u
gaming table, was invalid because
it was not served in person by
Major Sullivan, to whom it was
made out and addressed. =
The District Attorney does not
look upon Justice Bailey's order
as final and such as to preclude an
appeal District Attorney Gordon
said today that the ruling applies
only to that case and will not in
terfere with proceedings in the Po-
lice Court where each case will
stand on it's merits.

SUES TO ENFORCE REAL
ESTATE SALE CONTRACT

Emma L. Norman today filed
suit in the District Supreme Court
against Alan M. kaufman to compel
him to carry out an agreement to
buy the property at 2439 Eighteenth
street northwest Plaintiff, repre-
scented by Attorney H. Wfnship
Wheatley, declares that defendant
agreed to buy the property IN ques-
ton when it was thought that the
Astor Theater was to be erected on
adjoining land, and that he now
attempts to back out" since the
theater project has been abandoned.
The court is told that the con-
tract was signed May Is, 1928, and
that defendant agreed to buy the
place for $22,500 and made a de-
post to close the agreement. Since
a For Sale" sign has taken the
place of the notification that the
adjacent property was to be the tu-
ture home of the proposed Aston
Theater, Kaufman has declined to
carry out the agreement.

INSURANCE
CHECK -lJP
PLANNED
Bureaus Purpose Is to Expose
Work of Agents Who Fitch
From the Poor.

A check on the activities Of un-
principled District insurance
solicitors has been devised, it was
announced today from the office
of Superintendent Of Insurance
Burt A. Miller, by the creation of
an information bureau, operating
out of his office in the District
building under a governing board
of agents which will keep a close
watch upon employees leaving a
post.
Agents Wreck Poor.
It has been brought to Mr.. Mil.
ler's attention that cases some
times occur where solicitors hand.
ling the small policies of poor
people have severed their connec-
ton with an office while their ac-
counts were unsatisfactory and OBJ
tanned employment in another. con-
tinuing the same practice OF col
lecting premiums and not report
ing them.
BY the new arrangement, a re-
port an all accounts Of persons
quitting insurance offices will be
laid before the information bureau
within ten days. If shortages are
present the fact will be made known
to all offices licensed in the DIS
trict in order that such persons
may not be re-employed.
Begins Work August 1.
The bureau is to be known as the
Information Bureau for Industrial,
Life, Health and Accident Insurance
Agents and Solicitors for the Dis
trict of Columbia. 1t will function
actively commencing August /.
The following constitute the gov.
erning board: John Dolph, Metro
politan Life; John F. Dryden III
Prudential; Ben Chiswell, Peoples
Mutual; William S. Bennett, Equl'
table Life. and Lee S. Mckinney,
Provident Relief Association. Miss
Marian Parker will be secretary.
There IL no other organization OF
this exact nature In the United
States. It's institution is in line
with Mr.. Miller's determination to
make Washington the insurance cen
ter of the country.

COLD DIGGING
WOLVES ARE
IN CITY
Charles m. WiIIoughby Brings
Them From Russia, But He
Is "Touchy" About Them.

When the great Russian gloom
first began to pervade world litera-
ture, the big punch of the stories
came when the hero, escaping IN
droshky or a samovar or what
ever they call Muscovite buggies,
began bravely throwing his children,
one by one, to the wolf pack snap
ping at the rear.
Folks don't leave Russia like that,
now. They bring the wolves with
| 'em, on a leash. Thus did Charles
M. Willoughby, former American
Relief Commissioner, more formerly
assistant city editor of The Wash
ington Times, return today from the
land of the steppes.
Not only that-these are gold
digging wolves which Willoughby
brings to Washington today. They
don't dig gold themselves. All. mol
They're too sagacious for such d.
rect procedure. They made their
owner dig for them, and he did,
early, often and savagely.
After eighteen months Of relief
work in Russia, Mr.. WilIoughby
started home with his two pets.
When he reached the border he
was stopped by customs officers of
the Red government.
| Never having known Of anyone
| taking wolves out of the country,
the officials told him it was against
| the law. Willoughby almost wept
at their ignorance. Anybody could
| see that the animals were foxes.
The light Of knowledge dawned
upon the guarders of the border
| however, then their hands caught
| silver coins.
More Coins CIink.
Further on the train. the Polish
customs men searched the com.
| partments. Mr.. Willoughby was
firmly told he couldn't bring foxes
| into Poland.
"Geewizzky"' he exclaimed in his
most polished Polish. These ami
mails are wolves. Can't you tell by
! their eyes?'
Again the Clink Of coin was heard
and the wolves passed on.
The trip through Holland ended
abruptly when he and his pets were
put off the train by a Dutch officer
who didn't know how to be bribed.
Willoughby made a tedious wav
to the German border, where he
was told in solemn gutturaIs that
wolves couldn't be brought into
Germany.
But they're foxes" retorted viii.
loughby.
"Foxes neither we amt got no
use for" returned the stubborn
man in uniform.
But, dumkopf," declared vii.
| louGhby, they're not common, ordi.
nary foxes. They're-they're gold
diggers, branch of the ant-eater
family.
SHOW me. Let's see them Dig
A gold piece, sufficient to clothe
and feed the official and his family
for years was Immediately produced
from the travellers pocket. Word
Of the wolves remarkable feat
flashed along all the border stations
and gradually the relief officer was
relieved Of great weight in his
wallet.
Now he's home with the wolves
but what's he going to do with
| them? Don't ask Willoughby. AL
the other passengers on the United
States liner George Washington
| wanted to know and by this time
he's little touchy on the subject

DIRECTIONS
ON BUDGET
READY
Lords Instructions on Federal
Salaries in Hands Of Chiefs
in Few Days.

Federal departmental officials
soon will get their instructions
from Director of the Budget Lord
with regard to the final estimates
for 1924-25.
The final draft of the instruc-
tions is completed and will be
promulgated in the next few days.
The text relating to the personnel
particularly is awaited with in
terest in Government circles.
Few Raises Looked For.
The preliminary circular sent out
by General Lord contained general
instructions relating to the ABSORB
ton Of the $24O annual bonus into
the permanent salary standards
fixed in connection with the alloca.
ton work Of the Personnel Classifi.
cation Board. The final circular
will give more detailed information
on this point, as we'll as upon re.
classification in the present phase
of the work.
The general belief is that Freder:l
salaries, in general, will remain
static for the next fiscal year and
that there will be comparatively few
increases or reductions for the Fed
eral workers under the present allo-
cation. The actual work of equaliz-
ing and standardiZing salaries in the
Government departments will not be
undertaken until Reconsideration Is
begun in earnest next winter by
the Personnel Classification Board.
The circular to be issued by General
Lord is expected to make this point
clear.
The final estimates have to be
presented to the Budget Bureau
before September Is, and in the
intervening weeks every effort will
be made by the bureau officials to
force cuts much more drastic and
sweeping than those contemplated
by officials.
The Bureau of Efficiency today
denied a published statement to the
effect that its classification plan,
as originally framed under the
Wood-Smoot Redistribution bill,
contemplated a reduction Of the
salaries of the lower grades of
SueIdA WOIheES coupled WIN IN
creases for the executive admins
trative, and scientific employees.
Harold N. Graves, assistant director
of the bureau, said that the reap
/ portionment of the bonus, as pro.
posed by the Bureau, never was
intended to be applied in this way
and that the original Bureau of
Efficiency plan called for a net
increase in salary of 4 per cent
I to ali Federal employees.
No Cuts Proposed.
| There never was any proposal
emanating from the Bureau of Eff
ficiency," said Graves, calling for
an actual decrease in pay for the
| lower grades of Federal employees.
The number Of workers whose pay
| would have been cut under our plan
was negligible"
Until Gen. Lords instructions are
issued to the departments the actual
policy of the Government relating
t to Federal salaries for the next fis-
cal year will be the subject of spec
ulatiOn. 1t seems clear, however,
that tangible financial results from
the Reconsideration act passed by
Congress will not be enjoyed by the
civil service workers until the fiscal
year 1925-26 at the earliest.

BOB JOYCE; OR HOW PUTTING
UP A FRONT GETS A
FELLOW BY.

BOB JOYCE, ad writer ex-
traordinary for this newspaper,
likewise justice Of the peace at
Mt. Rainier, Nd, is back from
Europe. Mrs. Joyce accom-
panied him to see that he was
protected from the Partisan and
other vampE.
Bob was too busy to tell Poin-
care and Baldwin how to run
things in Europe, but he car
ried along with him the we'll
known front which serves him
well, and which illustrates that
without such front many a fell
low falls by the 'wayside. He
used it in the Ruhr region. On
his way to Wiesbaden in an auto
he was held up by a French
guard who told him there was
trouble in Wiesbaden and he
couldn't go there. Bob peremp-
torily ordered the buck private
to send for the sergeant. The
sergeant, too, said he couldn't.
"Send for the captain" said
Bob. The captain came. Or
ders were to let nobody through,
said the officer.
Exhibiting his card to the cap
tain, Bob gave that officer to
understand that he was the
owner of The Times, a favorite
relative of President Harding,
and was deeply aggrieved that
his presence had not already
been felt in France to such an
extent that he would not be
molested. The officer thought
it over, apologized for his rude
ness and ordered Magistrate
Bob forward.
About all Bob remembers
about celebrated Wiesbaden is
that he bought all the real dark
beer he could drink there for
10000 marks per BOTTLE cents
American money, and that the
finest room in the largest hotel
cost him $1.35 per day, Ameri-
can money.
Moral: The advertising man
who doesn't know how to adver=
tise is worse than the merchant
who doesn't know how to'put up
a front.

LAXI 7 !.
Of 50
DAYS
Drastic Enforcement From
Now. on Observation-Disclosures
Forfeit Collateral.

Twenty-Five persons were ar
rested by police yesterday for
violating the one-way street
regulation in the first day Of q
drive for more rigid enforcement
Of it. Each, with the exception
of three, who furnished 81 each,
forfeited the nominal collateral
of 81.
Lax Policy Ended.
Although the regulation has been
in effect since July IL, a lax policy
was adopted by the police in order
that automobiles might be amply
forewarned. The arrests followed
the issuance of an order by SII.
perintendent of Police Sullivan to
tighten the reins.
OF the twenty-five arrests, thir.
teen were made on Tenth street
northwest, eleven were taken on
Thirteenth street, and only one on
Twelfth street.
IT am glad to hear that the po.
lice are rounding up persons who
violate the one-wav traffic laws,
today. THE Police Department
has given motorists of Washington
ample notice. 1t was more than
month ago that we announced the
lists of streets. There is no excuse
for any man driving an automobile
in Washington not knowing the
one-way thoroughfares."
Hopes for Cooperation.
Commissioner oyster expressed
the hope that it would be unneces-
sary to make further arrests.
cooperate with the department and
obey the one-way signs" he said,
1T would be much better for all Of
us. However, if automobiles con-
tinGe to violate the law we must
arrest and prosecute them"

he Is pleased with the way most
motorists are obeying.
