KNUTSON CASE
INFLUENCE"
DENIED
Arlington County Officials
Determined to Prosecute
Congressman.

CLAREEDON, Va, March H.
Following the persistent rumors to
the effect that the case Of Congress-
man Harold Knutson, who, with
Leroy NJ. Hull Of Washington ar
rested last Sunday on a grave statu-
tory charge by Officers John r.
Burke and John w. Wise would not
be pressed, Commonwealth Attorney
William c. Cloth said today that he
has not been approached by any
member of Congress or anyone else
in an effort to sway him. He added
that he will prosecute the case to
the full extent Of the law.
The preliminary hearing will I've
held before Police Judge Harry r.
Thomas tomorrow at the Arlington
county court house at 9 o'clock. and
Commonwealth Attorney William C.
Cloth .says he will oppose any move
on the part of the defense for a
postponement.
Sheriff Howard B. Fields, when
confronted with the statements that
1t was understood Congressional
influence was being brought to bear
to settle the case, said: There Is
no pressure. political or otherwise,
that will cause me to change in any
way my stand in the case"
The Washington times., 1924-03-17

Other elements will be excluded. The
convention will primarily represent
the organized industrial and organ
lied agricultural elements Of the
country.
TT will devote itself to considering
what action should be taken in the
light Of the action already taken at
that time by the Republican and
Democratic conventions"
Such is the second movement to-
ward a third party in the present
situation. That it's inclination is
distinctly toward a third party, if
the Republican and Democratic par
ties nominate conservatives or
middle-of-the-ground moderates, is
ascertained and undoubted. There
would then be produced in this
country it's first real parallel to
the British Labor party.
Led By La Toilette.
Meanwhile the third tendency to-
ward a new party is one which
may totally overwhelm and swallow
up the other two movements. This
third possibility consists of the in
tentions Of Robert Marion La Fol.
lette and his immediate followers
and hackers.
1t is with good reason strongly
believed here that La Toilette has
deep distrust of gatherings
of professional radical platform
makers. He frequently has COM
mitted himself to drastic attacks
upon capitalists, but an examination
of his record shows that he never
has committed himself to any con-
crete propositions which would ruin
and destroy capital. Already by
certain elements in the Northwest
he is regarded as a conservative.
He has not committed himself
in any way to the outcome of the
convention at Cleveland of the ma
tional conference for progressive
political action and still less has
he committed himself in any way
to the outcome of the so-called
"F'armer-Labor-Pr conven-
ton at st. Paul or Minneapolis.
Attitude of the Senator.
The possibility with him seems
today to be simply this: That he
may perhaps-and even probably

To Be Passed.

Effective legislation for the relief

House Veterans Affairs Committee,
which has been conducting hearings
on proposed amendments to the Vet
erans' Bureau act. will close the
hearings today.
"One of the troubles in the past
has been that Congress, with some
justice, has insisted that the former
service men themselves could not
agree upon what was really needed"
Commander Mcfarland said. This
objection has finally been removed.

agreed upon a comprehensive lcGis-

BILL To BUILD
D, c, HOMES IN
70 MINUTES
Keeps Secret Process Which
Makes Possible House
for 81 Down.

"Bill" Hulett, a small, squirt
eyed man with a wide streak of
genius, some curiously whimsical
ideals and a perpetual smile, ar
rived in town yesterday with plans
for building some Of his twenty
minute" Hulett houses on the out.
skirts Of the city.
ITS a fact" he said. "IIl
build the houses in twenty minutes
each, let the owners move in for
a 81 down and SIS q month for
five years-provided there are five
persons in the family. There will
be no backsIiding parents living in
any Of my homes"
Hulett ventured to Washington
after spending fifteen years in the
West, Middle West and New Eng
land, building his Hulett homes.
Today he plans to look about for
some spare land and then he will
get on with his work.
Hulett will not tell how he
manages to defy contractors car
penters, plasterers and time in
putting up his buildings. He ad-
mits there is a secret about it, but
q secret that he has never entrusted
to any living person, not even to
the Patent Office.
mo one yet has been able to
learn what my secret mixture Is
that holds my homes together" he
told his interviewer. Perhaps
no one ever will"
Hulett frankly admitted that he
can neither read nor write.
THAT is, I can't read anything
but a blue print" he added.
Money, he says, is nothing to him.
He supposes that he has plenty Of
it, for he and the "missus" always
have anything they want. And he
had legacy or something left to
him many years ago.
Hulett is only thirty-three years
old, but he is grandfather and
proud Of 1t.
He was born in Schenectady and
early in life hit on his big idea that
he has pursued ever since. He
began his BODYBUILDING career in
Schenectady and then struck out in
other fields, covering q good-sized
portion Of the United States with
Hulett homes.
The homes that Hulett builds,
from the description furnished by
the little man, are not the most
gorgeous palaces that one can con.
ceive. but, take Bills" word for it,
they are certainly comfortable and
habitable and only 81 down.

HEALTH BOARD GIVES
ADVICE FOR DOG DAYS
TELLS WHAT TO DO IN CASE
OF CONTACT WITH RABIES.
SHOULD NOT KILL DOG.

With the approach OF the dreaded
dog days" the state board OF health
has issued a statement declaring that
the public holds an erroneous belief,
in many instances, that dogs are more
liable to go mad during July and
August than during any other part OF
the year.
A total OF sol animal heads have
been examined by the state board
during the last six months and of that
number 276 were found to have been
infected with rabies. Those receiving
the Pasteur treatment, the report
says, numbered 1924, including 235 in
Fulton county, during the same pc
Rod
The board warned that a dog sup
posed to be mad should not be killed
but should be confined and kept I'M
der observation for a period OF 10
days
''If the dog is mad, it will die with
in 10 days, and it will then be soon
enough for those who have been eX-
posed to take the Pasteur treatment
stated the warning cautioning, how
ever. that bites about the head or
face are more dangerous than those
on other parts OF the body and per
sons 50 injured should obtain imme-
diate treatment.
Animals which must be killed
should not be shot through the head,
to guard against injury to the brain.
Persons bitten by an animal should
Immediately consult physician and
obtain first aid" stated the warning,
do not hesitate to take the Pasteur
treatment if the dog is mad, if it dis
appears, or ii there is any doubt as
to whether you have been exposed to
mad animal"

DIXIE SHOWS TO PERFORM

noon and Night Show.

Large colored posters announce the
fact that the Dixie Shows are billed
to appear in Dawson for afternoon
and night performances on Wednes-
day. The show consists mainly of
acts by trained ponies, but monkeys,
pigs and dogs trained to a remark
able degree have their important
places, too.
The tent will be located on the va
cant lot in front OF McDowell's stable,
and it is probable that the season.
first road show will draw large
crowd. especially children.
The show is reputed as being very
good and clean, and one that will be
enjoyed by old and young alike. After
the show any children so desiring
will be given the thrill that comes
once in a life time" by being allowed
to ride the ponies around the tent.
This little ride on the gentle ponies
has always been a pronounced success
after the regular performance. Mr..
Bob McAfee, owner and manager of
the show, is we'll known in Dawson,
and has number OF friends here who
vouch for the quality OF his show.
