WANTS HIM
BARRED At
HEARING

A campaign to prevent the APP
pearance of Clarence barrow and
Dudley Field Malone next week
before the judiciary subcommittee
Of the House District Committee
was indicated today as the comit-
tee opened its hearing on the bill
to abolish capital punishment in
the District.
"Reds," Says BIanton
Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton Of Texas, has secured records
which, he claims, prove that both
men have red" tendencies and
country at heart. He announced
that he would attempt to prevent
the printing of their testimony.
Chief Justice Walter r. Mccoy,
of the District Supreme Court, and
Judge Mary OToole, of the Dis
trict Municipal Court, appeared be-
fore the subcommittee today.
Judge O'Toole opposed capital
punishment on the ground that It
set a bad example to the COM
munity.
Justice Mccoy told the committee
that he had reached no decision as
to a general policy regarding capital
punishment He indicated that. IN
some casse, he believed society
should take the lives OF desperate
criminals.
Guessworl, Says Mccoy
I'VE can have no positive knowl-
edge that murder has ever been de-
TERED by the thought Of punish
ment," Justice Mccoy said.
TT has been suggested that i'm
position of the death penalty be
left entirely to the discretion of
the Jury. This is now done in
the District in the case Of rape.
There has been but one case in 16
years where the jury has inflicted
capital punishment for this crime.
"The jury often can give the
best indication of sentiment in the
community in the individual cases,
and the jury verdict always is
colored by the seriousness of the
offense."
Urges Executions
Representative Robert G. Hous-
ton of Delaware argued for capital
punishment He declared that
those murders, for which the death
penalty is prescribed, are cases
where the killing is deliberately
planned and where the slayer must
have had in mind thoughts Of
avoiding the penalty which must be
the result if he were detected.
1.-THE whole theory of the punish
ment of crime Is to prevent it's
recurrence" Representative Hous-
ton said 1.-THE murder, when COM
mitted, is a thing of the past and
can't be cured, but the purpose of
Government in furnishing that MUIR
derer, is to prevent repetition Of
the crime"
Justice Mccoy declared that, in
his opinion, the certainty of punish
ment rather than the severity of
the penalty makes for law OBJ
serVance.
81 think it is more important for
the public to believe that justice Is
imposed according to law than that
it should be imposed according to
law" Justice Mccoy said.
Wrong in Principle
Judge O'Toole fatty opposed the
inf1iction Of the death penalty de-
claring that it brought no good to
the community.
II feel that society has no right
to do what the individual is barred
from doing" she said. Capital
punishment in principle Is wrong
from the point of view Of the IN.
dividual and society.

MUZZLI inc
ORDER IS
DENIED

Lieut.. Nina C. Van Wrinkle, chief
Of the Woman's Bureau of the Po-
lice Department. today disputed
the word of her advocate, Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Blanton of
Texas, claiming that he was not
denied any information when he
made his recent visit to the House
Of Detention.
Fenning Denies seMuzzling."
Commissioner Frederick A. Fen.
ming. who is charged by Blanton
with muzzling his subordinates,
denied that he issued any specific
orders to his departmental heads
that they should not confer with
Congress except through the Com
missioners.
fleming said. however, that about
10 years ago an order was issued
by the Commissioners, denying the
right of departmental heads of ap-
pearing before Congress or to APP
peal for legislation without per-
mission
1t has been learned, however,
that not n1Sfe than two weeks ago,
it was brought to the attention Of
Traffic Direcor NJ. o. Eldridge that
he should not seek legislation by
personal interviews with Repre-
sentatives.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle said that as
far as she knew, no muzzle had
been applied to her department ard
that she had often been allowed TO
go before Congress to plead her
cause. She said she was abiding
by an order from Major Hesse, SUI
perintendent of police, providing
that police should not seek promo
ton through influential friends.
Manuals Vary
It also was learned today that
the manuals Of the police and fire
departments differ in respect to the
communications which shall be
made to Congress.
The fire manual specifically states
that members of the department
shall not write to Congressman ex.
cept through the Commissioners,
bat there is no such provision in
the police manual.
The reason for this discrepancy
has not been pointed out by Dis.
trict officials.
Neither could it be learned who
sent Director Eldridge his muzzIing
. order. 1t was learned from a
reliable source, however, that some
one advised Eldridge not to ask for
further legislation unless he did so
through the Commissioners.
Representative Blanton has de-
clared that he would see Commits
sioner Fenning about the rule which
prevented Congressman from get
ting first-hand information from
the heads of departments.
He pointed to Eldridge and Mrs.
Van Wrinkle as dependable, sincere
workers, who have been muzzled
through orders from the Commits
sioners. Although Mrs. Van Wrinkle
denies that she has been told to
pipe down." 1T has been admitted
that Eldridge was considered wise
in giving out no further matter for
publication.

doggedly.
There were expressions Of opinion
both ways upon this; the company
was fairly we'll divided. And Altar
dyce proceeded to press his advantage.
"If We talk about losin' riches,
cap'n, it's you are willing to risk los
ing the eight hundred thousand
pounds we have in hand Yed go
for the other treasure and most likely
lose what we already have"
Flint squinted rehectively at the
yellow-haired man.
'Now that might be a good argy-
ment, Allardyce, If twas true" he re-
marked. But it amt. The truth is
l am all for maxim the treasure we
have safe before we go cruisin' to the
Dead Mans chest. Treasure is a poi

Allardyce lost his temper.

"Ah, stop me, would YEP"
II would! There's other men ha'
maroOned or murdered the half O. a

this.

"Well, speak up, fo'cstle," he went
on with note of satire. "What dye

was talk of givin' me the Black Spot
whatever that may be-and sailin'
home by your lones and dead reck-
onin'. What's the argument, l say?"
The scene was almost identical with
that which l had witnessed a few
nights previously when l spied upon
Flint's preparations to surprise Muir
ray. Flint sat, as he had then, upon
an upturned barrel, with Bones, Sill
yer, Pew and two or three more. The
remainder Of the crew were squatted
on the deck, q sem1circular pattern of
cOppery faces and tattoOed chests.
The weather had turned warm after
the storm, and practically all of them
wore Darbys costume, pair of trou-
sers or breeches, usually slashed off
above the knees
Foremost in the ring Of seamen was
a tall, lanky fellow with rather long,
yellow hair and a belligerent express
sion. Twas he who sustained the
burden of the debate with Flint, sup
ported to some extent by a group Of
score or so, who sat behind him.
AYE, aye, Tom Allardyce," Flint
was saying as we reached our aerie.
"You was the man all against at

dyce. Didn't all happen as 1 said it

"It amt your doin'," asserted Altar
dyce. "'Twas only blind luck as the

with Allardyce.

swered Flint equally. "a Sranisher

"The ships foul. We couldn't rum"

'Tis couple O. thousand pounds

men. "Disband while the luck's wi

Colorado
Increased activities in all lines OF
seasonal pursuits has resulted in en-
ployment for several thousand addl-
tional workers, chiefly in connection
with sugar beet field work, highway
construction, municipal improvements,
railroad maintenance of way and con-
struction work, and at plants manu-
featuring building and construction
equipment and mining machinery. Tne
surplus Of resident common labor has
been practically absorbed in divers1-
fled seasonal lines. Several thousand
workers have been imported into the
state for hand work in the sugar beet
fields. The tourist business is in
creasing and affords employment to
several thousand part-time workers.
Several hundred railroad workers
have been added to forces, principally
in connection with maintenance-of-
way work, the relaying of steel and
general construction.
New Mexico
A continued industrial upward trend
and expansion has been noted, affect
ing practically all lines Of industry,
particularly agriculture, metal mining.

ing and OIL Resident labor of all
classes reported steadily employed In
creased activity in seasonal pursuits
has given employment to practically
all seasonal workers heretofore unem-
ployed AS a result Of ample mois-
ture both in the irrigated and dry
farming districts, demands for season
al agriculture workers increased with
a sufficient supply available. Metal
mining increasingly active; labor in
connection sufficient, except for a
slight shortage of skilled workers. Oil
field activities and construction is in
creasingly active. The tourist season
will afford employment to large num-
bers Of male and female workers:
plenty Of this class of help will be
available.
Arizona
Practically all resident labor is
steadily employed. Hundreds of mi
gratory workers from other states are
also afforded employment in diversi-
fled lines, chiefly on large irrigation
and power projects, and new railroad
construction. A slight shortage of
married men and field workers for
agricultural work exists. Hundreds
Of seasonal farm workers are engaged
in cotton chopping, haying, harvest
fruit and vegetable industry. Metal
mining continues active and steady.
There is a great amount of new de-
velopment work under way in the
gold, silver and copper mining dis
tricts. Skilled metal miners are
scarce, a shortage being noted in the
Ajo district. 1t is indicated that a
surplus Of metal mine labor will be
noted in the Jerome district during
the early summer when a large min
ing company will discontinue steam
shovel operations.

"A Family Affair

The telephone family is truly
what the name implies, since there
are many family groups employed in
this great service utility.
Sisters in the telephone company
are more numerous simply because
there are more girls employed, but
the cases of fathers and sons or
brothers are we'll represented in many
of the Offices throughout the country.
In the beginning there were four
men engaged in the telephone bust.
ness. They were Alexander Graham
Bell, the inventor; Thomas A. Wat
son, the first telephone engineer;
Gardiner G. Hubbard, lawyer and
business manager, and Thomas San
ders, business man and the financier
of the enterprise. From this small
nucleus of telephone workers, in fifty
years, the Bell System employees
have grown into a great army. A
including Western Electric employees,
taken in December, 1925, showed that
there were then 293, 4SO persons en-
ployed in the System.
Notwithstanding the rapid growth
Of the System, requiring the services
Of many new employees, the average
length of service of all employees was
nearly five years; more than rs per
cent. of the male employees have been
with the company more than ten
years, and about 43h per cent. have
served the Bell System more than FIVE
years.
But the average length of service
does not seem any time at all to the
2S3 telephone veterans, still active,
who were in the Bell Telephone serv.
ice away back in 1885 when the
Boston-New York telephone line was
the greatest achievement in long dis
lance transmission. They are the
survivors of some 500 employees who
were employed at that time.
Ranking next in length of service
were 1776 employees who had served
the Bell System for thirty years or
more, who have seen the System grow
from approximately 100000 telephones
to more than 100000 Bell-owned
telephones. Another group of tele-
phone employees in point Of length
OF service lis comprised of 1862 in
dividuals who have twenty-one or
more years of service to their credit.
All are elassed as pioneers and are
eligible for membership in the
Pioneers Of America, Bell System
organization, national in scope, with
local chapters, designed to preserve
the traditions Of the Bell Systems
founders and to inspire loyalty and
devotion In the public service.
/. The fact that there are now 1907
900 more employees on the Bell sys-
tenn payrolls than there were seven
years ago 10 indicative Of the growth
OF the System to meet the constantly
increasing requirements Of the public
service.
