Or. Arthur /. Harvin Files
Divorce Suit Following
Strangers Departure.

Mystery surrounding the strange
roomer at the home of Mrs. Mar
garet s. Harvin, 1921 Macomb
street, Chevy Chase, was dissipated
today when it was learned that ac-
ton for divorce had been filed
against Mrs. Harvin by her es-
tranged husband, DR.. Arthur L.
Harvin, prominent dentist with Of
fees in the Medical Science build
Ing, 1929 Vermont avenue north.
west. ~
Mrs. Harvin's story to headquar-
tiers detectives, that she feared the
roomer who had stayed at her house
for month and then disappeared
after rifling her personal papers was
a private detective paid to spy on
her have been realized, she said.
Police Watch Withdrawn.
The police watch over the Harvin
home was withdrawn today when
they learned of the divorce action.
Mrs. Harvin is said to have told
the police that she no longer feared
the stranger would return since he
had evidently concluded his work
at her home.
Should any Of Mrs. Harvin's per-
sonal papers be missing it is
likely That a charge of larceny
may be placed against the private
detective, should he prove to be
such.
The stranger, pretending to be a
Government clerk, rented a room
from Mrs. Harvin more than a
month ago. Tuesday he left hur.
riedly and has not been seen since
Mrs. Harvin discovered after his
departure that the man had ran
sacked her personal papers and
she requested police protection.
Misconduct Charged.
The divorce action, filed by At
torney Robert Z. Lynch in the
District Supreme Court late yester-
day, charges Mrs. Harvin with mis-.
conduct. She Is also said in the
divorce papers to have threatened
to take the nine-year-old daughter
of the couple and leave the city.
Justice Stafford issued an order
for Mrs. Harvin to, appear in his
straining order preventing her from
taking the child outside of Wash
ington should not be issued.
The Harvins have been estranged
since last October.

Senators viii Push Tax and
Rum Charge Inquiry to
It's Finish

II The Couzens senatorial commit
tee, which launched an investiga-
ton last spring into alleged tax and
liquor irregularities in the Internal
Revenue Bureau, met today to de-
termine a program Of action for
the coming session Of Congress.
The committee was to decide
whether to resume public hearings
prior to the opening Of Congress
December ] or to merely continue
an investigation Of records In the
bureau until after the Senate has
reconvened. The meeting was cali
ed by Senator Conzens, Republican,
Of Michigan, chairman, who urged
an immediate resumption OF public
hearings.
"A majority Of the committee,
however, was reported TO favor
postponement Of hearings until
after December /.
It was indicated this would be
the committees decision. At the
same time, 1t was said, the COM
mittee would uphold Couzens in his
plan to continue investigation OF
the records until open hearings are
resumed.
This work, II, was learned, has
been conducted by q staff Of fifteen
investigators under the direction
or Earl Davis, former district at
-torney Of Detroit and now special
counsel to the committee.
Davis and his assistants have
been busy for weeks running down
charges Of irregularities In tax
matters and liquor permits.
Both Davis and Couzens declined
to reveal the nature of the evidence
gathered.
A movement to discontinue the
investigation entirely Launched In
administration quarters faces GER
tain failure. Couzens has announced
a determination to continue the In
quiry until the committee clears up
the charges and has had an oppor-
tunity to make Recommendation for
corrections IN defective administra.
tive laws. His position has the
Endorsement OF the independent Re-
pubHcans in the Senate, the La Fol-
lette insurgents and the Democratic
side. BY this coalition, Couzens has
sufficient support for whatever cours
sufficient support for whatever
course he desires.
Reports that the committee would

litical leaders had ''exacted large
sums for protecting breweriesH in
that State could not be confirmed
today:
Senator couzens said no such
charges had been made before the
COMMITTEES.
Il haven't heard Of IT," he said.

my attention, nor to the attention

investigate it,
