GRAVES
Charged With Having Record
in Ways for irritating
Revenue Agents

Washington's most ''harrassed"
bootlegger, who probably holds
the worlds record for wholesale
aggravation of the prohibition en-
forcement officers, today met his
waterloo and was sentenced to
Jail.
Had Good ClienteI.
He is Joseph Sterling Graves,
colored, who ran a restaurant and
rooming house at Nos. 16-18.20 G.
street northwest, patronized largely
by white clientel.
Police officials declare that he
broke every law that Volstead ever
wrote on the prohibition question
and then when the police put a
lock on the door of his restaurant,
under a paddock injunction, he
broke that too.
Linked up with Graves convic-
ton today in Justice Stafford's
court, is a "dirty-trick" on the
Democrats in New York, who have
been warned to beware of the fam
Gus Colonel James Leroy Asher,
famed sleuth of the prohibition
forces, who was sent to New York
to dry up Broadway's swamps.
Asher Testifyihg.
While the delegates were looking
for Asher he was here in Wash
ington testifying against Graves
and it was through the Lone VOLTS
testimony that Graves was finally
convicted.
In addition to the case in tho
District Supreme Court, which re-
suited in Graves conviction, the
Government is prosecuting the pad
lock injunction case now before the
Court of Appeals.

D. C. WATER RESERVE
IS FURTHER DEPLETED

Efforts Of the District water de.
partment to build up the reserve
in the District reservoirs, lost by
the recent break in the conduit,
have met failure in the face Of the
continued hot weather.
Water consumption this week is
setting new records. Monday the
amount used was SO Asa, $3.50 gallons,
according to figures reported to
]. S. Garland, superintendent of
the department. Yesterdays con-
sumption, though figures are not
yet completed, probably was as high.
This means that the reserve was
further depleted Monday to the ex.
tent of more than 100000 gal.
Ions. In case Of another break in
the old conduit, water officials de,
clare, the city would have to lie
placed on rigid water rations and,
in case of a serious break, the
city might be without water un.
less a reserve can be built up.

FEAR PRICE
WOULDBE
RAISED
Many Probable Plots Said by
Commission to Be Under
Consideration

Danger of land price-boosting
by property owners will force the
National Capital Park Commits
sion to keep all it's plans shroud-
ed in the deepest secrecy, General
Harry Taylor, chairman Of the
newly created board, announced
today.
Would Boost Price.
The commission believes that II
any of its contemplated purchases
Of land in Maryland, Virginia, or
the District should become known
in advance it will be compelled to
pay double or triple the prices 1t
would otherwise pay, it was indi-
Gated.
Private interests already are ''sug-
costing" the requirement Of various
parcels of land for park purposes
in the environs of Washington, it
was said today. Numerous park
projects are being recommended to
the commission by outside agencies,
nearly always accompanied with
the announcement that the neces.
sary land can be acquired at a GER
tain price.
viii Make Survey.
The commission is directed by law
not only to make a study of the
extension of the Capitals park sys-
tenn in the adjoining States, but
| also to give some attention to the
| playground requirements Of the
city. This matter will be taken
up as soon as the commission gets
down to the details of the task be-
fore 1t.
General Taylor said today he did
not expect the commission would
hold another meeting before August
or September. It's initial recon-
mendations probably will be sent to
President Coolidge in advance Of the
annual sending Of the budget to
Congress.

If you see Mary A. Dixon,
colored, walk down the street
and suddenly stop, lean against
a tree box and go to sleep,
she's not drunk, she's just
naturally that way.
Mary stopped in the doorway
Of the F street carbarn last
night and fell asleep and when
arrested by Policeman Sheedy
OF the Sixth precinct she pro-
tested vociferously. Women,
for whom she has washed for
the past ten years, appeared in

suaded Judge Mcmahon that
Mary was always tired. The

By the Associated Press.

PARIS, December 15.-Premier
Herriot, who. like most political
leaders, is not disdainful OF appre-
citation, was exceedingly annoyed by
recent demonstrations against him at
st. Die, Epinai. Roubaix and even at
the solemn Sorbonne ceremony in
honor of Peruvian independence. His
political adversaries. who often have
mentioned the premiers apparent Joy
in applause. are exploiting these
manifestations much to the disgust
of government supporters. 1
NJ. Bergery, the premier's princi-
pal collaboration, recently took notice
of these incidents at a conference
with foreign newspaper men.
unfortunately" he said, there
has not been invented any machinery
for applause to counteract the great
volume of sound made by the op-
position use Of whistles"
Whistling in France Is equivalent
to kissing and. arouses bitter indigna-
ton in the person hissed. This boo
ing, kissing and cat-calling at the
premier's appearance in the regular
Sunday provincial ceremonies reached
such a point that the governrin en- t
arranged a most imposing show of
force at Roubaix last Sunday. NJ.
Bergery in his discussion of this
rowdyism explained that as a mass
of people lined the streets the hos
tile elements were able to walk
abreast the premier's carriage, hoot-
ing him and thereby giving the i'm
preston that there was unfriendli-
ness toward him all along the line
of march. The police. however, ar
rested about 20 and demounted
forces finally dispersed the. whistlers
and booers.
Another form of adverse express
sion was at the Sorbonne this week.
where Gen. Mangin, who is not usu-
ally classed as popular idol, was
given tremendous cheers. overshad-
owing the premiers greeting. The
disapproval even spread to the
movie houses where NJ. Herriots pic
ture is frequently shown in current
