POLICE W|LLPASS
1926 MOTOR TAGS
Failure of New Ones to Arrive
Causes Extension of Time
for Month.

Members of the Metropolitan police
force were ordered today by Maj
Edwin B. Hesse. superintendent of
police, to recognize 1926 automobile
identification tags of Maryland, Vir-
ginia and all other States east of the
Mississippi River until February ].
These instructions were issued be-
cause all States east of the Mississippi
have, at the request of the Commits
sioners, agreed to accord the same
privilege to District motorists driving
with 1925 tags through the month of
January, owing to the delay in the
arrival of the Districts 1927 tags.
While Maryland and several other
States have decreed that residents
may not operate motor vehicles after
midnight unless equipped with 1927
tags, it was pointed out that there are
numbers of persons who have recently
come from these States to Washing
ton to live and have been unable to
procure District tags for the new
year. 1t is these motorists who will
benefit by Maj. Hesse's order.
Virginia has not completed the dis
tribution of it's new tags, and accord
ing to advices received at the District
Building today, Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Hayes at Richmond is ex-
pected to request that the State and
county police recognize the 1926 tags
for several weeks in January. Under
the new State law, it was said, the
motor vehicle commissioner has no
authority to order an extension in
time for the use of the old tags.

FEDERAL BASE BALL
COMMISSION URGED
Kelly Considering Offering
BiII-ScandaI Might Come
Up at Hearing.

A bill providing for establishment
of a Federal base ball commission
may be proposed in Congress as an
outgrowth of the recent charges in
volving Ty Cobb and Iris Speaker in
the alleged fixing of a game seven
years ago.
Representative Clyde Kelly of Penn
sylvania, who has interested himself
in base balls latest scandal, stated,
following a conference with Senator
Capper of Kansas today, that he is
giving consideration to the drafting
of such a measure. Nothing definite
was decided at the conference, but
Mr.. Kelly said that if ne prepares
the outline of such bill he will sub
NIT a copy Of it to Senator Capper for
his study.
Details Still Undecided.
Although the whole proposition is
in a tentative and rather formative
state, Mr.. Kelly said he has In mind
a commission appointed by the Presi-
dent that would exercise license super
vision over players and teams. The
exact scope of the commissions pow
ers, he said, would have TO he worked
introduced
The Pennsylvania Representative
indicated that the facts in connection
with the recent charges against Cobb
and Speaker could be gone into by
the committee assigned to hold hear
ings on his base ball commission bill
If he should finally decide to sponsor
such a bill.
Senator Capper is not preparing
any proposed legislation. Discussing
the proposal of Representative Kelly,
Senator Capper said his present feel
ing in the matter is that a movement
for the creation Of Federal base ball
commission should originate in the
base ball world
Petition Being Circulated.
"A petition, which I am informed
originated in Cleveland, is being cir
culated, suggesting a Federal commits
sion" said Senator Capper. My in
formation is that this petition has at
tached to it an Endorsement of the
idea by Ban b. Johnson, president of
the American League. l do not
know what other leaders of base ball
think of the proposal. and my atti-
tude is that such a. bill should origi-
nate in the base hall world itself"
Senator Capper said he had no di-
rect personal information as to how
any of the base hall magnates feel
toward the proposal outlined by Rep
resentative Kelly.

CANISTER SLAIN,
WAR LOOMS ANEW
Former Illinois Beer Runner
Found Frozen, Three Bull
lets in His Skull.


! CHICAGO. December 31.-Belief
| that gangland's truce has come to an
end was expressed Yesterday by police
/ following the finding Of the body of
Hillary Clements, former beer runner,
two weeks after members of his fam
lily had pleaded for gangSters to de-
liver mp his body by Christmas time.
Frozen, and with three bullets in
tho skull, the body was discovered by
two boys seeking adventure in an
abandoned house on the South Side,
bringing true the premonition of John
l., Clements that his brother had been
murdered.
ReprisaIs Are Feared.
This killing means reprisals." John
Siege, captain of detectives. declared.
Were in for onother era of whole
sale killings"
John Clements had broadcast
through the police this appeal to gang
Sters: "You've had your revenge;
now tell us where the body is" But
the appeal remained unanswered.
Doctors said Clements had been
dead two weeks, just as his brother
had said, when, on behalf of an aged
mother and young bride on the
verge Of collapse, he asked that the
ibody he delivered up for decent burial.
sHis last appeal was on Christmas eve,
land promised that any information
would be held in strict confidence.
Last Seen I'm Taxi.
John Clements told police that 26-
year-old Hillary had recently quit the
illicit liquor traffic after long associa-
tion with John Foley, and that he
feared the death that came to Foley,
supposedly from rival gangster guns,
several months ago. His brother,
Clements said, also was a close friend
of Frank McErlane. reputed gang
chieftain, awaiting trial in Indiana
for murder.
Beyond knowledge that Clements
was hast seen alive when he started for
home in a taXicab December Is and
the marks on the body found last
night detectives had little information
on the Staying.
After the Staying of Heimie Weiss

pact was given out. Clements was
