The possibility of the $4,000. 900

reaching a vote in the House this

1t was learned today.
The bill can only come up on

aside by joint consent Of the Sen.
ate and House to receive the cleo
toral vote.

that the committee on public build

Unless the bill can be called up
a week from tomorrow 1t will not
pass, as. the following two calendar

about $780, 900 worth of jewelry, is
near, police officials stated today.
after the positive Identification of
Dennis Le0hy Smith, 1900 East
Capitol street, as the purchaser OF
some of the tools used IN the crime.
Smith, who was arrested last
Friday, was charged today with
housebreaking in connection with
the case. In spite of his emphatic
denials of any knowledge in the
affair, he was taken to Police Court
to face the charge.
Smith was positively identified,
police say, by two merchants from
whom he is alleged to have pur-
chased tools used in the safe blow
ing. The two men say he bought
a hammer, hacksaw blades and a
blanket from them just before the
crime.

The accused man is we'll known
to police. He was arrested in 1920
and charged with housebreaking in
a similar safe-blowing case. This
charge was dismissed, but few
months later he was convicted In
another case and sentenced to a
year and a half in Jail. After
serving a few months of his term:
the man, who was at that time
only a boy, was released on proba.

son and Mansfield have been work
ing on the National Jewelry COM
pany's case ever since the theft was
discovered Wednesday morning Of
last week.

ager of the store, coming to work
about 9 o'clock, found that the safe
in a rear second floor room had
been blown and a large amount OF
jewelry taken. Police, investigating,
found that the job had been done
by professionals who worked with
gloves, leaving. no finger prints.
With few clues to work on, they
concentrated on the origin of the
tools with which the job was done.
They found two hammers, some
nitroglycerine, several blankets, and
wedging tools. BY tracing these.

men who had done the job and
shortly thereafter arrested Smith.
He has been under investigation
since that time.
