The committee also will attempt

House Of the Senate bill to regulate

An attempt to secure considera-.
ton of the resolution to continue
the life of the Gibson subcommit-
tee was made on the floor Of the
House today by Representative
Ralph Gilbert of Kentucky, a mem
Der Of the subcommittee.
Gilbert was choked off, however,
before he had an opportunity to
do more than inquire the status
OF the resolution.

BEACON LIGHTS
NAY Be FREE

The District government today
was forced into the embarrassing
position Of having to ask the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company to
furnish free electricity to operate the
flashing beacons on Connecticut
Avenue loading platforms.
Specifically forbidden by the Dis
trict appropriation bill, which be-
came law yesterday, to pay for the
upkeep Of these lights, District
authorities either had to turn the
lights off with the resultant traffic
hazard or appeal to the company.
Major w. e. r. Covell, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner in charge
of Public Utilities, was directed to
draw up a regulation requesting the
company to furnish electricity free
until Congress has a chance to
change the law.
After the regulation has been ap-
proved by the Public Utilities Com.
mission. the District Commissioners
will formally ask the company to
undertake the expense. Company
officials have already signif.ed their
willingness.
1t is estimated that twill cost
the company about $500 to operate
the lights for a. year.

HOLD-UP VICTIM
DIES HERE

The body of Mrs. Norman Will
liams, victim of a sensational jewel
robbery in her Sixteenth Street resi-
dence last year. will be sent to Wood
stock, VT. for burial Saturday.
Mrs. Williams, who suffered from
shock through having a $500 ring
torn from her finger by one of the
bandits who entered her home, died
at her residence last night. She was
a woman OF advanced years. and, it
is believed, never fully recovered
from the rude handling given hee by
the thieves.
The robbery was one Of the most
brutal and carefully planned ever
perpetrated in Washington. The
thieves rented a house at I'LL Tenth
st. N. w. and there kept three
motorcycles, oiled. filled with fuel
and in readiness for quick get
away. They are believed to have
taken into their confidence a dis
gruntled and discharged butler once
employed by Mrs. Williams.
Miss Helen Drake. friend Of the
wealthy widow. was the heroine of
the robbery. When the bandits, en-
tering in the guise of internal
revenue agents, brandished pistols at
her, Mrs. Williams and the widow
daughter. Mrs. William e. Wilder,
Miss Drake feigned swooning. After
the bandits left her lying on the
floor. she stole out Of the house and
summoned police, who afterwarl
caught Joseph Davidoff, one of the
robbers.
Mrs. Williams was a Miss Caroline
Cation. Her daughter married Brig.
Gen. Wilbur E. Wilder in 1924.
General Wilder once commanded
Fort Myer, but was retired num-
Der of years ago. The Wilders live
in Washington.

TARBOT lost
YEARS PUZZLE

Three lost years in the life of
Jerry Tarbot, the ''nameless Ma.
rine," today challenged all Of the
detective resourcefulness Of the Gov
eminent.
During this time he was--a draft
dodger or a heroic fighter in France?
The House Veterans Committee,
after an investigation, refused to
render verdict.
Traced by Department of Justice
agents to February 2, 1918 and
picked up" again early in 1921
II the evidence presented is truth
the whereabout Of Tarbot during
| the blank period is still a mystery.
Representative Johnson of South
Dakota, chairman of the committee,
himself a first lieutenant in France,
declared that Jerry was lodging the
draft. But Representative Carter
of California. firmly believes Jerry's
story that he was fighting with the
Marines in France and was wounded
many times.
Probe Goes On
After declining to favorably re.
port the Carter bill which would
give Jerry the compensation due a
wounded Marine, the committee an.
nounced that it would ask the Gov.
eminent 70 carry on the investiga-
| ton.
Jerry. crestfaIlen, steadfastly
maintained that he was a strange
casualty of the war, homeless, bereft
of the names Of his parents. vir.
tually helpless.
Jerry has been in Washington
since February 5. He registered
at the Central Y. NJ. c. A. annex
under the name of GERRY Tarbot, !"
and wrote his address as "U. S. A. I"
He is man about 40 years of
age, and is known around the
central headquarters Of the associa.
ton as being resentful Of interro-
cation. He pays his room rent
regularly, it was said today, but
avoids conversation relative to such
subjects as the Pacific coast. He
is understood to have come here
from San Francisco.
Now "A Bum

ing"
A strong, wiry individual at the
age of about 40, highly excitable
and seemingly exceptionally intelli.
gent in many respects, Tarbot re-
fused to wilt under the lash of
cold facts presented by Department
OF Justice agents just before the
present hearing closed at midnight.
Handwriting and finger-print ex-
perts and individuals identified him
as Howard Francis Noble, who
worked as a machinist in Detroit,
Akron, Ohio; Sharon. Pa, and
Walkerville, Ontario.
Agents reports declared that he
was twice married and was arrested
In San Francisco for automobile
theft. His real name, they reported,
was Alexander Dubois, jr., born in
New York in 1886.
He has used 20 different names,
they said.
In a statement Tarbot made to
Marine officers in San Francisco in
1873, produced at the hearing. he
said that he went to France as a
French soldier, enlistlng in Canada:
that he was wounded and in the
fighting was thrown with American
Marines.

UTILITIES COMMISSION
NOMINATIONS TO LAPSE
ENDS
IN SENATE

The long fight to prevent con.
fir1nation OF the new Public utili-
ties Commission appeared to have
been definitely won today when it
was announced that no further
meetings Of the Senate District
subcommittee on the nominations
would be held.
Members Of the subcommittee,
realizing that it would be futile
to try to obtain confirmation in
the closing hours OF Congress, have
agreed to permit the nominations
to lapse.
Nominations to Die
No further action will be taken
and the nominations will die when
the session expires tomorrow.
The Intervention Of President
Coolidge in favor OF confirming the
Public Utilities Commission and the
strongest political pressure that the
local Republican machine has been
able to bring to bear has not budged
the Senate District Committee, whose
opposition to the nominations has
become only too apparent.
The "citizens lobby" has absorbed
much Of the credit for defeating the
Public Utilities Commission nominal

On the other hand, the local Re-
publican bloc has been working
overtime in favor Of the nominees
Their trump card was to bring the
President into the fight. but ap-
parently even the latter's personal
appeal to Senator's Jones and
Sackett failed to produce any ten.
gible result.
Speculation already has started
as to whether the President will
make recess appointments of an
entirely new commission, or will
permit the old commission to func-
ton until Congress reconvenes. It
is taken for granted that he will
not make recess appointments Of
his presentn oninees, because they
will have to serve without salary.
