The ever-deepening mystery
Of the attack on Leonard W.
Kephart, Department Of Agri-
culture scientist, and the slbse-
quent kidnapping Of E. Percival
Wilson, secretary Of the Ma
tional Savings and Trust Com
pany, on the night of May 3,
became a greater enigma today
when an old greasy cap, which
Kephart kept in his car, was
found in the Soldiers Home
lake along with clothing which
was stripped from Kephart
when he was overcome by
highwaymen.
The clothing found consisted of
Kephart's vest, coat, trousers and
overcoat, along with the cap. His
hat and a pistol were still in his
car when recovered by the police in
Montgomery County. Maryland.
Clothing Identified
The Identification was made more
positive by the discovery in the

BY Louis a. DOugher
The Washington club has
asked for waivers on George

Sisler, former manager and
firstsacker of the Browns, and
Babe Camel, rookie outfielder
from Birmingham.
A strong rumor, too, has Muddy
Ruel booked for new scenes before
many weeks have gone. 1t is pos
sible that he will be traded to the
Chicago White Sox.
George Sisler is a so.called ten
year man in the American League
and, therefore, cannot be sent to
any minor league club without his
consent. However, he can be traded
to any other major league club
with or without his consent.
Babe CAMEL has been receiving
his first big league trial, and will
doubtless go back to the minors.
Whether it will be to Birmingham
he will go has yet TO be decided.
The Barons are we'll stocked with
gardeners and so he may go to some
other club willing to enter into an
agreement with the Washington
club.
Judge Sitting Pretty
Asking for waivers on Sisler just
about settles for all time the status
of Joe Judge. At Tampa Sisler had
the call. It was not till the Griffs
reached Atlanta that Judge was able
to start at first base. He has never
lost his grip since and, with Sisler
about to leave the club, Judge is once
more on top of the world. This will
be pleasing news to Joe's many
friends in the CaDital
Sisler was purchased from the ST.
Louis Browns December "a, last, dur
ing the winter baseball conclave in
New York. AS the st. Louis Browns
firstbaseman in 1922 Sisler won the
American League most valuable
player prize.
1t is a bit disconcerting to learn
the possibilities of Ruel's passing
from the Griffs. The little fellow is
just now suffering from weak arm,

RESCUE OF ASKED on |
. PAY BILL S|SLER

Comptroller General McCarl
today came to the rescue of
the new Welch- -Brookhart Fed
eral pay bill.
Taking exception to the
Budget Bureau figures of the
increased cost Of the amend
ment offered by Senator
Brookhart, McCarl declared, in
a special report, that there was
not more than $480,000 differ
ence between the cost of the
Welch bill, as it passed the
House, and the new Senate
bill.
Budget Bureau estimates of the
increased cost have run as high as
81, 900, 900. These estimates are en-
tirely overturned in figures submit
ted to Senator Brookhart by the
Comptroller General, and incorpo-
rated in the report which will be
made to the Senate late today.
BrOOkhart Explains
In explaining the differences IN
the cost figures, Senator Brook.
hart declared that the Budget Bu-
reau had taken the salary averages
fixed in the proposed Welch law
and totaled the difference.
Brookhart pointed out on the
strength of McCarl's statement.
that such a computation was en-
tirely misleading, because Federal
salaries under the existing basis
have never been raised to their
potential total.
To Fight for Bill
Brookhart declared that If Con-
gress appropriates the money under
the average provision of existing
law, salaries of Federal workers in
the District would be Immediately
raised to the extent of $4,000. 900.
He cited this as proof of the fact
that there was a fundamental error
in the Budget Bureaus cost figures.
AS result of this new informa-
ton, Brookhart today expressed his
intention of fighting for his amend
ment in the Senate bill, despite Ad-
ministration opposition.
SmOOt "VetO" Feared
Senator Shoots emphatic veto"
on the new Welch-Brookhart meas
ure, which is alleged to- increase the
total cost Of the salary increases
to $25. 400 900. had the effect today
of forcing all supporters of the bill
to talk compromise and of getting
together on the basis of the House
measure.
Senators Blaine, Brookhart and
Dill constitute the "die hard group
who are still fighting the Admins
tration edict and are apparently
ready to make a last-ditch stand
for the lower-paid Federal workers.

Of POWER
TRUST IN IOWA
REVEALED

Public utility interests secured the
removal of objectionable" textbooks
from Iowa schools, Joe Carmichael.
of Des Moines, director of the Iowa
committee on public utility infor.
nation. testified at the Federal Trade
COMMISSIONS power trust investiga-
ton today.
In nearly every instance where
the committee complained to super
intendents or school boards that text
books contained matter advocating
municipal or government ownership
of power UNITS, the books were ire
moved and placed on library shelves
for use as reference matter only, "
Carmichael declared.
This information was brought out
by Robert K. 1Healy, commission
counsel. from a letter which Car
michael wrote on May 5. 1925, to
J. s. S. r. harrison, publicity direc-
tor of the joint committee of ma
tional utility associations.
The letter in part follows:
Where textbooks which were
grossly unfair and did not give the
private ownership side of the ques-
ton were used in the high schools.
we took the matter up personally
with school officials, either through
local managers or directly. We be-
Iieved we had a right to object
whe:l the textbook openly advo-
Gated municipal ownership or Gov
ernment ownership and was un-
truthful in stating its claims"
He told of protesting to superin-
tendents, school boards and indi-
vidual instructors and of getting
regular reports on the new text
books.
I'VE do not intend to let any OF
these bugs slip over anything on

Sent Out Propaganda
"WhiIe 13 schools used objection
able textbooks some were not what
we would recommend, but we did
not feel warranted in making
complaint"
The committee has broadcast over
the State to schools, libraries and
civic organizations 10000 copies
each of gas and electric pamphlets,
which extolled private ownership
he said.
The committees expenses have
increased from $4,000 a year in
1922 to $4,000 annually for the
last two years. Revenues come
from so companies affiliated with
