WILL QUIZ SUSPECT
IN WOMAN ATTACK
District Detectives Go to Sill
yer Spring, Md.-Victim
Gains Ground.

The police net which has spread
over the city for the assailant of Mrs
Daisy yelling of 1877 d street south
east, who was attacked on the Capitol
grounds late Friday night. was eX-
tended into nearby Maryland today.
Six detectives from police headquar-
ters. especially assigned to the case
by Chief Of Detectives Pratt. went to
Silver Spring. Md, early this after
noon to question an unnamed colored
man whose description fits that given
by Mrs. yelling AS her attacker.
Meanwhile Mrs. yelling was gain
ing ground at Providence Hospital. to
which she was removed yesterday
from Casualty Hospital. slight inn
provement noted by attending physi-
clans today led them to believe she
may recover.
Seven colored men. some of whom
answer the description of Mrs. Well
ing's assailant. are held in various
police precincts. Other arrests are ex-
pected hourly. All members of the
police force were urged today by
Supt. Hesse TO arrest any person to
whom suspicion points, and We're re-
quested to spare no effort or eX-
pense' in the search.
Held for Investigation.
While police books list none of the
seven suspects as held for more than
investigation in the case. the detec-
tives believe the crime may be fasten-
ed to one man. He answers the de-
scription given by Mrs Yelling and
was taken before the young mother
yesterday and identified by her as 4
man fitting the description except as
to the clothes he wore. Inspector
Pratt said the man probably had no
more clothes than those he now wears.
A man named Price, who was driv-
ing through the Capitol grounds with
his wife about $50 O'Clock Friday eve
ming, confronted the suspect yester-
day and positively identified him as
the man he saw lurking in the grounds
the night of. the ASA ut.

The following message was broad
cast to the police force today by Supt.
Hesse: An atrocious and revolving
crime was committed in the United
States Capitol grounds the night of

D. K. BILL AIDING
OLD i. s. EMPLOYEES
House Passes Measure to
Correct Provision in
Retirement Act.

To correct an injustice being done
to many veteran employees of the Gov
eminent under the civil service re.
tirement act the House today pass
ed a bill favorably reported from the
civil service committee to correct a
technical provision.
The retirement act provides tina
upon the arrival of an employee at the
age of retirement, when he would
ordinarily be automatic separated
from the service upon annuity. he may
make application for retention in &C
tive service.
May Be Retained Two Years.
Should he be found by the head of
his department to be competent and
eff1cient, and so certified to the Civil
Service Commission, he may be re-
tanned IN active service for a two
year period upon certification by the
Civil Service Commission
The retirement act directs that the
certification by the head of the de-
partment be made 80 days before
the arrival of an employee at the age
or retirement, and by construction
IL has been held that the certification
or the Civil Service Commission
must be made before the actual dav
upon which the employee reaches the
age OF retirement. otherwise the con-
tinuation in active service is invalid.
Forfeit Retirement Payments.
From this it follows that such en-
ployes forfeit whatever salary re-
mains unpaid and also forfeit what
ever contributions to retirement they
have made from their salary during
the period of invalid employment. 1t
also follows that they may not in
clude the period of invalid employ
ment within the length of service
upon which their annuity is COM
puted.
Many instances in which the sig
natures of the officials were not
afhxed to the certificate within the
time limit working hardship upon
the employees affected were brought
to the attention of the House civil
service committee.
AS the actual time of signing these
certificates is of no importa nee and
it is unjust to impose losses on these
veteran employees for asons over
which they have no control, the civil
service committee urged the passage
of this measure which was approved
by the House today. extending the
period in which certificates may be re-
turned by the heads of depa rtments
and by the Civil Service Commission.

BOY FROZEN TO DEATH.
Five Pittsburgh Fatalities Laid to
Snow and Cold.

PITTSBURGH. February 81 R.-
Deaths, ira ceabie to the abundance
of snow and the cold weather, reached
a total of five in the Pittsburgh dis
trict today. Among the victims was
13-year-old boy, who was found
frozen to death in a large tool box in
which he had sought protection
while on an errand.
The 15-inch fall of snow, said at the
Weather Bureau to have broken all
records since 1918, made many high
ways impossible and forced railroad
and trolley companies to call out all
available laborers to keep tracks
clear.
Some southwestern Pennsylvania
sections reported "a inches of snow
and in northern West Virginia the
depth ranged from 1T1a to "a inches.

IF any of the extreme Facists
cherished the hope that the army

the friction has become sufficiently

ROME, February 81 CBy Courier to
Switzerla nd).-The proposal to define
permanently the relative positions OF
King Victor Emmanuel and Dictator
Mussolini in the new Fascist state, as
reported by the correspondent in
previous dispatch, was necessitated
by the increasing friction and appre-
tensions between the Royalists and
the militant Fascists in the past
three months.
These conditions are not due to per-
sonal hostility to the King nor to the
overweening ambition of Mussolini
but rather to the inevitable conse-
quences Of the Duce's rise to abso-
lutte power in A country where the
King Is nominally supreme head of all
the functions of government.

Plot to Destroy King.

The alleged Republican Fascist plot
to dethrone the King last December
probably did not go further than the
brains of a few extreme Fascist. but
the Kings supporters certainly took
adequate measures of defense against
any possible coup. Under the Italian
constitution the army is under direct
orders of the King and unquestionably
is loyal to his person. especially Gen.
Badoglio, chief of staff,
Last month the cabinet approved a
law creating a chief of the general
staff" dependent on the ministries of
national defense tall held by Musso-
linD and reducing Gen. Badoglio's Of
flee to a subordinate technical one.
Mussolini was appointed to the new
Office, but the appointment was quickly
revoked-following. it is said, repre-
sensations by the chief army gen
grassland Gen. Badcglio was given
the post.

Guard Details Of Tension.

Details Of this growing tension have
been carefully guarded. 1t was known
that the King objected to signing the
death penalty law, regularly passed
by both houses of Parliament. The
King had previously Loyalty supported
all of Mussolini's measures and
signed promptly all DEGREES sent him.
But he fatty refused to sign away
the right of his subjects to appeal to-
him under the defense of state law.
Goodness between the King and the
Fascists was first publicly noticed
when he was absent for the first time
since the war from the religious cere-
monies on Armistice dav and later was
absent from the governmental com
memoration of the anniversary of the
queen mothers death. He also re-
fused to sign the decree depriving for
mer Premier Nitti of citizenship. APP
parently the extreme Fascist took
alarm at this.

pigs and give more milk for the
little ones.
Others state that they are able
to save from is to 20 per cent of
the grain by feeding alfalfa hay in
the winter time.
Years of experience have
demonstrated that a good rule to
follow is to feed all the alfalfa
hay hogs will eat and about two
pounds of grain to each 100 pounds
of pork. "A 300-pound brood sow
should have about six pounds of
grain with all the alfalfa hay she
will eat. Of course, this will vary
somewhat with the type of hog.
Bacon type hogs will get along
during the winter time with lot
less grain when they have all the
alfalfa they will eat than will the
lard type hogs.
We will have more on this sub
ject before the time comes to feed
hay to hogs. I am now interested
in every hog man in the state of
Minnesota putting out patch of
alfalfa especially for hog pasture.
There is plenty of time, and there
is plenty of good seed available.
l would be glad to have any one
write in for special information
