with" and that similar action should
be alten in the case of "every Of

ed appropriations made for veteran

misspent'' and that the bureau
operated under a policy which
presumed a majority of ex-ser-
vice men to be dishonest"
Senator Oddie, who is a member

nunciation of conditions after sew

Success is a lot NE the harvest

By Ahern

Success is a lot like the harvest
that comes after a long, laborious
and discouraging period of coaxing
the crop along. The farmer is by
nature a sound thinker When he
harvests in a few weeks, he doesn't
think that his whole years's income
is from the work Of those few
weeks.

.C0UNTYPO[|CE RAID.
BIC GAMBLING CLUB.
Surprise More Than 100 at
Conduit Road Resort-Con-
fiscate About $1,000.

Smashing their way through three
carefully guarded doors. Montgomery
county police last night raided the
Riverside Club, a resort on the Con-
duit road about a mile beyond the
District line, and captured enough
gambling devices to equip a small
Monte Carlo.
More than a hundred men were in
the midst of games when the police
surprised them, and besides the gam
bling paraphernalia the authorities
confiscated between $1,000 and $4,000
they found scattered around tables.
Habitues declared had the raiding
squad come later they would have
found twice as many. patrons and
many times as much money.
Presented Card.
Led by Chief Charles T. Cooley, six
privates of the Montgomery county
force gathered at the Riverside Club
about 10 o'clock. One had a card
emitting him to admission. Present
ing this at the first door he was adj
mitted, and before the surprised
guard could slam the door again the
other policemen had forced their way
in. 1t was necessary for them to
break down the two remaining doors.
The fact that the Riverside Club
backs off down the steep palisades
of the Potomac river, however. pre-
vented the escape of any of the men
inside, the front being we'll guarded
by the police. All promptly surren-
dered and a man who described him
and ten assistants were arrested on
a charge of permitting gaming on the
premises.
Paraphernalia Taken.
Several roulette wheels, a number
of dice tables, card tables where
poker and blackjack had been In
progress, according to the statement
of several prisoners, and tables where
hazard was played were seized. The
house was well placarded, large signs
over doorways designating the kind
of gambling that might be enjoyed in
each room.
When three or four reporters
pocketed their notes and pencils and
started to leave the scene Of the raid
they were surprised to find a score
of newspaper men" following them.
All were assiduously engaged in
making detailed notes But the cops
were wise and separated the sheep
from the goats, those In the latter
class being held as witnesses The
same idea had struck too many at
the same time, and the number of
reporters" was out of proportion to

GREENE WEAKENS
AFTER OPERATION
Brain of Senator, Hit by
Stray Bullet, Torn by
Bone SpIinters.

Senator Frank L. Greene, shot dur
ing a gun fight between prohibition
enforcement officials and alleged boot
leggers, was reported to be in a Sc
rious condition early today following
an operation at Emergency Hospital.
Although the senator seemed to be
improving rapidly early yesterday
and physicians hoped he might be
about in a week or SO, more thorough
investigation showed that the bullet
that felled him Friday night had
caused an inverted fracture and part
Of his skull had been forced into his
brain.
DIR. Thomas L. Linviile and Dr. Dam
lel IL. Rs<den decided. an immediate
operation 3kv imperative Senator
Green. submitted. and the operation
was performed late In the Afternoon.
1t was found that not only had the
skull been denied SO that it pressed
upon the brain. but that splinters had
actually entered the brain. Ten such
bits were removed by the surgeon.
Condition In Serious.
The inside fibrous material that
forms secondary protection to the
brain had been badly lacerated and
punctured, and the operation proved
to be decidedly delicate. Immediately
after the operation Senator Greene
seemed to respond satisfactorily, but
1t was. stated that his condition must
be regarded as serious.
Early today physicians at the hos
pital said he seemed to improve some
what shortly after midnight and was
resting easier. They thought this
might be accepted as good omen
but said definite information as to
ultimate recovery could. not be ex-
pected before morning, at least.
In the meantime, the reaction from
the shooting of Senator Greene was
being felt in many quarters. Presi-
dent Coolidge directed his secretary
to make sure that the local police
department took immediate steps to
prosecute those responsible. The
White House was later informed that
the three men implicated had been
turned over to the district attorney.
Dry Agent Released.
PrOhlD1tlOn enforcement Agent
Fisher, whose bullet is believed to
have been the one that struck Sem
ator Greene down as he and his wife
were walking along Pennsylvania
avenue. was charged with assault
with a deadly weapon and released
from custody on $1,000 bail. 1t was
explained that he submitted to the
charge merely to permit him to be
admissible to bail.
James r. Beavers of Silver Hill,
Md. and Benjamin Chesiyoir of 31s
New York avenue northwest, at whom
Fisher was firing, were released on
$4,000 bail each, it was stated at
detective headquarters. Both of the
prisoners were carefully questioned
by headquarters detectives and re-
iterated their previous statements
that they had not fired a shot.
President Coolidge evinced his per-
sonal interest in the situation by in
quiring at the hospital concerning
Mr.. Greepe's condition. Hundreds of
telephone inquiries were received
from many other persons high in
tho governments service and on
every hand were heard expressions
Of indignation that such q thing
should have occurred in Washington
and within three or four blocks Of
the Capitol itself.

Versions Of some of the circumstances

the Senate during debate on their nomi-

Il would like to make a statement
OF the actual facts" said Senator
walsh. The senator from Arkantas
(Mr. Robinson), and myself went out
to play golf on the afternoon Of that
day. When we were returning we
met the Secretary to the President,
no advised me the President had
been seeking me all aftrnAon, but had
been unable to locate me. Senator
Robinson said we would be glad to
see the President the next day but Mr..
Slemp said the President would like
to see you this evening and probably
will call you up"
Called BY Curtis.
Senator Walsh said that after he
reached his apartment Senator Curtis
called him on the telephone and told
him he had been unable to locate Him
during the day and desired a confer
ence. .
HE came to my apartment-abqGt
of names he had" Senator Walsh con-
tinued. IT expressed my views as to
those on the list I knew and mem
toned others I thought would be
equal to the task.
Imagine my utter astonishfnent
when 1 picked up the paper the next
morning and read about the appoint
ment. This account said the appoint
ment had been made during the fore
noon Of the day while we were en-
gagged in trying to get Mr.. Fall to
testify. I found out subsequently
that this was slightly inaccurate.
Mr.. Pomerene advised me later that
between IL o'clock and 1 o'clock he
had been requested by Mr.. Slemp
to come to the White House for
luncheon with the President. He said
that when luncheon was over about
o'clock they retired to the Presi-
dents library and the President ask
ed him to take the appointment and
he promptly accepted. The Presi-
dent then told him that he wanted
to talk with Senator Walsh.
Invited to White House.
THAT was the second time the
President had sought to confer with
me after his selection had been made.
