GUNTOTER GETS
$3.50 FINE
Or JAIL

A pistol concealed in his hat
nearly escaped the observation of
the police at No. precinct, accord
ing to the evidence in Police Court
today in the case of Walter w.
Smith, colored, 531 New Jersey
avenue northwest, arrested Sunday.
He was sentenced by Judge John
p. Mcmahon to pay a fine Of $3.50
or serve 1870 days in Jail.
The evidence showed that Smith
was arrested on suspicion Of having
been implicated in a burglary by
Policeman r. c. Jackson. He was
taken to the station house and
searched. The search revealed moth.
ing and he was about to be re-
leased when one Of the officers
told him to remove his hat. A 49,
caliber pistol was resting peace.
fully on his head, the officer said.
Smith told the court that he had
taken the pistol to be repaired for
a woman acquaintance and was re-
turning 1t at the time of his ar.
rest. The woman was summoned,
but her story and that OF Smith
differed.

BUILDING
PALESTINE
Up FAST
Construct Many Houses and
Roads in Past 3 Years,
Says Visitor.

NEW YORK, March 12.-Within
three years $500 houses and many
roads have been built and 1850, 900
trees planted in Palestine by Jews.
according to DR.. Chain Weisman.
The Hebrews are endeavoring to
remake Palestine into a homeland.
Swamps have been drained and
many olive and orange groves have
been planted.
DR.. Weisman said Palestine was
capable Of absorbing 1000 immi-
grants month. About half that
number are now going there month
ly from other lands.
"Most of the progress made by
the Jews has been achieved in the
face of many difficulties" DIR.
Weisman said. Although the
Arabs have been the chief oppo-
nents Of the Jews, the trouble be-
tween the Jew and the Arab has
been greatly exaggerated. At pres
emit there Is no friction to speak Of.
"1n fact, in the future the Jew
may be Of inestimable value in re-
claiming desert and waste lands in
the Near East in cooperation with
the Arabs"
The Hebrew language, he pointed
out, is one of the recognized Ian.
guages Of Palestine.

.BR| BERY PROBE
IS URGED IN
HOUSE
Fight Is on Over CARROTS
Resolution for Special
Committee.
BY A. o. HAYWARD.
International Newu Service.

Corruption scandals seethed in
the House again today with a de-
mand for appointment Of a special
investigating committee to probe
charges against two Congressmen
caught In rumors originating with
testimony given before a Chicago
grand jury which brought indict.
ments in the Veterans Bureau scan.
dial.
With the falling of the eavel in
the House, Democratic Leader Gar.
rett demanded q vote on his reso.
luton for appointment by the
Speaker Of a special COMMITTEES Of
five members to probe thoroughly
the rumOred charges and report
promptly to the House that there
may be generations or explosions.
OutwitS G. o. p. Leaders.
Garrett outgeneraled the Repub-
lican leaders in getting his resolu-
ton in position for a vote. The
House Republicans had mustered
sufficient strength to head off the
investigation by the House and to
leave Attorney General Daugherty
free to complete the Department of
Justice investigation, with a re-
quest of the Attorney General that
he should rush his inquiry and
report at an early date to the House
on the results.
Elated over their victory many
Republican members deserted their
posts before the close Of the session
last night and started homewar1
happily. The well-drilled Democrats
retired to cloak rooms, but waited
for a signal from their leader.
Without warning Garrett suddenly
produced his resolution calling for
the investigation by a special House
committee.
Protests Vain.
Republican leaders protested vain
ly, but Speaker Gillett ruled the
resolution privileged. and it's i'm
mediate consideration in order.
Garrett had the votes in hand to
pass the resolution. but he proved
magnanimous at the pleas Of the
Republican leaders. There was some
skirmishing and an agreement was
reached to take the resolution for
passage at opening of the session
today. The Democrats expect to draw
sufficient support from the insurg-
ents to pass their resolution, and
names. charges, and evidence will
be demanded of Attorney General
Daugherty.

upon-permitting those who make
returns to deduct rs per cent on
their 1923 returns. 1t Is due to
pass within three or four weeks.
Fear Tax Bill Veto.
The coalition fears that once the
Administration has jammed through
the Is per cent reduction on 1929
taxes by separate resolution, the
President would veto the general
tax bill, which he has already
threatened to do on numerous occa.
sions on the ground that 1t strays
too far from the rates laid down in
the Mellon bill.
Whispers have reached them that
the President would do this and
then "go to the country" in Novem.
Der on the the question of the
Mellon bill or the Longworth com.
promise bill. The President cannot
veto part Of the general bill and
approve part Of it. He must take
1t all or nothing. and they do not
believe he will dare disapprove the
entire bill in the midst Of q cam.
paign merely because 1t does not af.
ford the relief to large incomes that
Mellon demanded.
Leaders Embarrassed.
The situation Is embarrassing to
the Republican leaders, and the
party in both houses is badly split
along precisely the lines that were
developed when the Mellon bill was
fought over two weeks ago.
The Republican leaders privately
declared they intended to do moth
ing, pointing out that the taxpayers
will get the desired Is per cent re
duction in a few weeks anyway, and
then will be permitted to make the
reduction in their next quarterly
payment instead Of on Saturday.

HOUSE TURNED
INTO INFERNO
BY STORM
Prominent Alexandria Man Is
Nearly EIeetrocuted Dur
ing Night.

ALEXANDRIA. Va, March H.
c. c. Lamond. prominent in civic
circles who lives on Washington
street, about a mile from the center
Of town, related a story today Of his
narrow escape from death during
the storm Monday night.
Mr.. Lamond was awakened ii
the middle OF the night to fine
his room flooded with a peculiar
greenish light and filled with ar
cdor Of burning rubber. He got
up to investigate and found thai
all the electrical connections and
fixtures in the house were sending
off sparks.
He went to the cellar and there
saw the> switch box in flames
Mr.. Lamond says that he threw
the switch and that the current
was so great that the sparks leaned
across the open switch and made
a circuit. The wires finally burned
out and the current having de.
stroyed the transformer on the out.
side OF the house stopped the flow.
All the wiring in the walls Of his
house had been melted. Mr.. La
mond's telephone was also put out
OF order by the storm, preventing
him from seeking help during The
disturbance.
Electrical experts at Washington
and Ladd Electrical Company, who
are rewriting the house stated that
it was a miracle that Mr.. Lamond
was not electrocuted when he threw
the switch in the cellar. It is
impossible to place the cause OF
the disturbance but 1t is supposed
that a short circuit of the light
wires outside Of the house threw
the current of 1900 volts in the
house over wires that were made
to hold 40 volts.

WANT TROOPS WITHDRAW YIN
German and French Socialists Start Movement for Immediate With drawal of Troops from Germany.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Aug. 6.-Pressure is being brought on the international confer ence by Dr. Rudolph Breitscheid, leader of the German socialists, and the French socialists who are now in London, to effect immediate mill tary evacuation of the Ruhr The proponents of immediate evacuation indicate that the German government Is likely to fall if Its delegation re- turns to Berlin without a promise that the Ruhr and other occupied districts will be immediately freed Of foreign troops.
 This question, although outside the agenda of the conference. is for the moment transcending all others. It is being stressed by the German delegates who represent a minority government whose existence, they in- sist, would be seriously threatened If the military evacuation Is not achieved.
 The French sc cialists are support Ing the position taken by their Ger man colleagues and are intimating that the French domestic political situation also demands compliance with the German request.
