d. c. BILL DOUBTFUL.
Madden Doubts Passage of Local

Prospects for public buildings bill

at this session of Congress are not
bright. according to the opinion ex-
pressed today by Representative Mad

appropriations committee Represent
ative Madden was just leaving the
White House, following a conference
with the President regarding appro-
priation legislation in general, when
he expressed this gloomy outlook for
the building. legislation.
Mr.. Madden said that unless there
is an omnibus bill providing for a
general public buildings program
throughout the country agreed upon,
there will be no chance for an ap-
preparation for the departmental
buildings here. The fact that Presi-
dent Coolidge is personally anxious
for the erection of Government build
ings in the District as soon as pos
sible, and made such recommendation
in his annual message to Congress.
does not apparently carry as much
prestige with the entire membership
of the Senate and the House as the
administration leaders, cabinet chiefs
and advocates of this legislation
would like, according to information
obtained by Representative Madden.
1t was pointed out by the chairman
of the appropriations committee that
there has been no general public
building bill for a number of years,
and because of this the majority of
members of Congress are described
as clamoring for adequate buildings
to house the Federal Offices in their
various districts. Insother words, Mr..
Madden intimated that Congress is in

Looted, Despite Armed
Guards.

CHICAGO, December "a band of
hi-jackers raided a 100000 hoard of
fine liquors in United States Army
warehouse here and stole rare whiskeys
and wines of an estimated value of
$500, 900 early last Sunday, according to
Robert r. Levy, United States marshal.
The robbery, discovered Monday, was
kept secret until last night, while Fed
eral agents questioned more than 80
soldiers and other Government en-
ployes, some of whom were supposed to
guard the store.
Fifteen steel doors were cut away
and padlocks and bolts smashed by the
raiders to give the impression, investi-

Much of the liquor taken was seized
in frequent Federal raids shortly after

.LE|S|NGER MYSTERY
HERO ODETHRONED
Policeman, Credited With
Aiding Solution of Murder,
Accused of Deceit.

Private J. NJ. A. McKimmie, whose
name was held out to the public as
the man who solved the Leisinger
murder mystery, was transferred to
the ninth precinct from police head
quarters today, following an investi-
cation by Chief of Detectives c. L.
Grant, who requested his immediate
transfer for "reprehensible and de-
ceitful conduct and untruthfuI'
statements in connection with the re-
covery of the automobile which
proved the key to the solution of the
aforesaid murder mystery. Another
result of the investigation also is the
announcement by Inspector Grant
that he will recommend payment of
the 5000 reward in the case to Joseph
l. Snow.
A letter from Snow, of 1904 Four
teenth street to'Maj. Daniel Sullivan
marked the start of a chain OF pro-
ceedings which ended in the transfer
of McKimmie. Maj. Sullivan referred
the letter to Inspector Grant. Grant
started an investigation.
During the course of the investiga-
ton Grant asked Snow and McKim-
mie to meet in his office. There Snow
identified McKimmie' as the man to
whom he had given the informa tion
concerning the location of the auto
mobile afterward established as the
car in which the persons convicted of
the killing of Policeman Raymond
L,eisinger. rode at the time of the
crime.

Mckimmie, according to Inspector
Grant, admitted it was Snow from
whom he obtained the information.
This did not Jibe, according to the
Investigators, with the original story
which McKimmie told. McKimmie

Whole Field of InteraIIied War
Debts Involved in Refund

BRITAIN MIGHT RESENT
EASIER TERMS TO PARIS
Insistence on Credit for Sacrifices

Knotty Problem.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The most immediate question OF
foreign policy confronting the United
States Government Is neither the
World Court nor the League of Ma
tions, but what shall be done about
refunding the debt OF France.
This is of concern to the whole
European continent and of particular
concern to Great Britain. The situa-
tion has become so interviewer with
the settlements already made and
with the general economic problems
of Europe growing out Of the Dawes
reparation plan that the helmsman
of the American ship Of state will
have to steer cautiously in the next
IL months to avoid interruption of
friendly relations with any of the
powers and yet collect the debts due.
The bill collector is never popular,
whether the case be a nation or an
individual, and nothing seems SO in
tangible as the money which went up
in the smoke of the battlefield and
into the pockets of the munition
makers of few years ago.
Position of Jusserand.
Ambassador Jusserand's speech in
New York reminding his hearers that
France spent in America all but one
sixth of the three billions she bor-
rowed from the United States during
the war is significant of what France
is thinking, because it Will be noted
that few days ago NJ. Jusserand
began formal conversations with the
Washington Government on the re-
funding OF the French debt.
NJ. Jusserand speaks also of the
great sacrifices in blood and treasure
made by France and of the vast sums
she herself had loaned to the other al
lies and which have not been repaid.
He is referring to the unpaid Rus
sian debt as well as the debts due
from the other European countries.

Meanwhile Great Britain has be-
gun to exhibit a lively interest in

Stanley Baldwin, who happens to be
premier of Great Britain, was the

He was criticized severely for the
