SEEN
BY. TAPPY
AND ICE
DEALER
Greek Legation TO Administer
Estate Of Cafe Man by
Terms Of Treaty

A coroner's jury today found
that Tom Pappas, Greek cafe pro-
prietor, was slain on the morning
of March 5 by a person unknown,
who used a blunt instrument,
namely, a motor car wrench.
The jury further found Pappas'
death was due to a fractured
skull, .hemorrhages and shock.
The jury was informed by Head
quarters Detective John Flaherty
that the police are convinced that
Pappas' murderer was a colored
man seen by w. J. Tappy both on
the night before and the morning
Of the Staying.
Greece to Hold Estate.
A representative of the Greek 10
CATION, and Wilton H. Wallace. q
member of a local law firm, were
present at the inquest. Under
treaty of the Greek government, the
local legation viii be administrator
Of Pappas' estate. he having died
intestate.
w. J. Tappy, the aged utility
man who worked for Pappas was
the first to take the stand today.
He told practically the same story
he told police after the murder was
first revealed.
Tappy said he was convinced the
man who found Pappas was a
colored man wearing green glasses
who came up to his room on the
second floor about an hour be-
fore the murder was discovered.
He said the negro, whom he
would only be able to identify by
his voice, left some cleaning ma
terfals on the mantle of Tappy's
room.
Seen. by Iceman.
The theory that the murderer
is mysterious negro, was further
strengthened by the testimony of
James W. Hale, an ice dealer, who
said when he raped on the window
on the morning the crime was dis
covered he saw a colored man
standing in the restaurant behind
a coffee urn.
Hale further testified he heard
Ln0 CO4OT0u u1edu VOdCG On Iul5
occasion and that he feels positive
he heard it for a second time at
police headquarters since the in
vestigation into the Staying Of
Pappas has been under way.
The same jury also found that
James F. Heimer, manager Of the
Big Four Candy Company, was
slain in his store at COS E street
northwest in the night of March 5
by an unknown person. They
further found Heimer's death was
due to d gunshot wound in the
abdomen, general peritonitis and
exhaustion.
The principal witnesses in the
Heimer inquest were Guy E. Bur
lingame, of the Sixth precinct; John
A Brawner, Heimer's partner, who
was standing near him when he
was shot, and Gerald Walsh, an
undertaken, who took Heime': to
the hospital in his automobile.
Burlingame testified the police
have no clue whatever as to the
slayer of Heimer and they have been
unable to trace the hat dropped by
the slayer near the store.
An additional reward Of $3.50 for
the arrest and conviction Of the
slayer was offered today by Almas
Temple, Mystic Shrine, of which
Heimer was a popular member.
This makes a total of $3.50 on the
head of the gunman, the police de-
partment already having offered
5000 reward.

.SURP|NG
POWERS,
CLAIM
Cong. Wood Leads Attack on
Commission Congress Ac-
ton Deemed Likely

Congress probably win be asked
20 abolish the Federal Employees
Compensation Commission and to
transfer administration of the
compensation act to the Depart
ment Of Labor or the Pension
Office, soon after the next ses-
sion begins.
One Of the chief opponents Of
the commission is Congressman
william r. Wood of Indiana, who
first advocated abolition of the
commission during the closing
days Of the past session. Owing
to the pressure Of legislation dur
ing the closing weeks Of the ses-
sion no active efforts were made
In this direction.
Commission Criticized.
Opposition to the commission,
however. Is gathering head among
/ members of Congress and it Is re-
Rarded as certain that an effort
win be made to bring the matter to
the floor of the House for settle
ment.
Sharp criticism Of the commits
aion for alleged usurpation OF
powers which Congress never In
tended that it should exercise was
voiced in Hobbies and committee
rooms at the Capitol before the
close OF the last session.
The ire of Congressman Wood
was aroused by a recent radio adj
dress made by Mrs. Bessie P. Brues
geman. chairman of the commits
sion. In which. he charges, she de-
MED that anybody had any con-
troll over this commission, not even
the Supreme Court of the United
States or the Attorney General"
Attorney Prosecuted, Claim.
Congressman Wood accuses Mrs.
Brueggeman and members OF the
commission with attempting to bring
Congressional pressure to bear upon
the Comptroller General to force
him to give the commission a free
hand in the settlement OF third
party claims now pending before
the commission. He charges that
the commission threatened To WITH
bold payment Of these claims until
the Comptroller General complied
with the dictates Of the commits
sion.
Fresh fuel has been added TO the
flames by an alleged effort on the
part Of the commission to discharge
3. ID. Slentz, attorney for the cora
mission. Congressman Wood charges
that Slentz Is being prosecuted for
refusal TO submit to the "auIocrat.c
ldess ana dictation~ Of the COM
mission.

Public Aid in Cafes as in

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March limited
States District Attorney Buckner has
appealed to the public for aid in his
campaign against the sale of liquor
along Broadway in much the same
way that District Attorney Banton
or New York County enlisted the
public's aid in his movement to sup
press salacious plays in Broadways
theaters. Mr.. Buckners drive is in
tended to paddock cabarets. Mr.
Banton's appeal to the public resulted
In the recruiting OF 400 citizens to
on questionable productions. Mr.
Buckner has appealed to the public
patronizing Broadway cabarets, ask
ing that every one witnessing
violation of the prohibition laws send
an affidavit to that effect to his office
In addition to the aid of the public
Mr.. Buckner also is mapping out
method of closer cooperation OF his
office with the police and the Federal
prohibition agents. One Of his aims
is to establish a special paddock court
to handle such cases exclusively and
sit through the Summer. He thinks
ii might dispose of 80 cases daily.
Mr.. Buckner himself set an
example in the move to place private
citizens. aid in the campaign along
Broadway. He spent $500 of his
own money for champagne at $25
quart and other drinks to be used as
evidence.
Four young lawyer friends used
the money for him, and the result
was paddock proceedings against IA
cabarets.

TURKS ASK LEAGUE
DROP GREEK PLEA|
Warn Geneva That Patriarch
Case Endangers Friend
Iy Relations.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA. March Turkey has
asked the Council of the League of
Nations not to discuss the deporta
tion from ConstantinopIe of the Most
Rev. Constantinos. patriarch of the
Greek Orthodox Church, on which
Greece has appealed to the league for
action under the covenant. The
Turkish authorities point out that
consideration of the deportation is a
matter "endangering friendly rela-
tions."
Turkey, who is not a member of
the league, was invited to send a
delegate to next weeks meeting of
the council to present the Turkish
side of the dispute. Yesterdays tele-
gram from Angora is Turkeys only
acknowledgment of the invitation,
and 1T is assumed here Turkey will
refuse to discuss the subject.
There is no way of compelling Tur-
key to participate in the councils
inquiry, but the council can go ahead
without the presence of a Turkish
representative. 1t is explained in
league circles that should Turkey re-
sort to war after ignoring the coun-
ellis invitation she would became a
presumptive aggressor and thus be
subject to sanctions under the
league covenant

WOMAN CONVICTED
IN FORGERY CASE
Former House EmpIoye Jail
ed Pending AppeaI-Con-
fession Is Charged.

Mrs. Margaret B. Buchanan, former
secretary to Samuel A. Kendall,
Representative from Pennsylvania,
was convicted late yesterday after
noon by a jury in Criminal Division
2. before Chief Justice Mccoy of a
charge OF forgery. She was accused
of placing the Endorsement of Martha
Warfield, an nliterate colored woman.
on two checks from the United States
Veterans Bureau, totaling about
$1,000, in payment of compensation
and insurance on the life of the wom-
ans son. Mrs. Buchanan was COM
mitted to Jail pending motion for a
new trial.
The case was submitted to the jury
at o'clock, and the jurors deliber-
ated four hours.
Mrs. Buchanan was acquitted Febru-
airy II of a charge of forgery. In
that case. it was alleged. she had
altered an Endorsement placed on a
check of $4,000 by Representative
Kendall. The check had been sent to
Kendall by W. H Smart, mayor Of
Uniontown, Pa, for payment of war
materials sold in Kendalrs district.
Indorsement Is Admitted.
The present case turned on a ques-
tion of intent Mrs. Buchanan admit
on the checks, but asserted she had
no fraudulent intent, but wanted to
conserve the fund for the complaining
witness, who had been cook in her
employ. and who had expressed to her
fear that another son or the widow
of her dead son might try to get the
money.
This view of the case was put forth
in the arguments of Attorneys l.. II.
Vandoren and Richard E. Wexford
for the defendant. Assistant United
States Attorney Burnett, who argued
for the Government, claimed that the
was with fraudulent in
tent. as was shown by the fact that
Mrs. Buchanan sent the checks to
trust company in Carlisle. Pa, and
placed them to her account, against
he said, there was an over
draft OF S76 and a note due for S125.
Both amounts she knew, he declared.
would be deducted from the fund. She
also told Inspector Mclnerney of the
Veterans Bureau, he said. that she
forged the checks because she needed
the money.

ecution. ---...-.-.

foreign relations committee.
Reports are current in official cir
cIes here that there are to be num-
Der of changes in the diplomatic serv
ice very shortly, and that these will
include the resignation of Alexander
Moore of Pittsburgh as Ambassador
to Spain. Mr.. Moore. who called on
the President yesterday. prior to
leaving this country for Madrid, said.
however, there was no foundation for
such reports concerning him.
Much of the opposition that helped
cause the failure in the last Congress
of legislation recommended by his
agricultural conference will, in the
opinion of President Coolidge, be dis
sipated during the recess by more
careful study of the proposals on the
part of their critics.
He feels that the opposition came
chiefly from persons who deal In farm
products or have been engaged in or
ganizing the farmers and fear estab
lishment of a Federal cooperative
marketing agency would deprive them
of opportunity for such service, with
practically none from the farmers
themselves, and it is hopeful that
legislation along the lines recon-
mended will be enacted by the Sixty
ninth Congress. 1t was made clear,
however, that he has not altered his
decision not to call an extra session
of the Congress at this time for en-
actment of agricultural legislation or
for any other purpose.
