LAWYER FIGHTS
FIREHOUSE SITE
H. I. Quinn Asks Injunction-Says
Sixteenth Street Area Is
Residential.

Henry I. Quinn, lawyer, 1907 Gala
tin street, today filed suit for an injunc-
tion in the District Supreme Court
against the District Commissioners, to
prevent the location of fire engine
house at Sixteenth street and Colorado
avenue. Quinn says the land in ques-
ton is zoned as residential and asserts
that a fire engine house is not permit
ted under the coming regulations in
such areas. He also points out that the
strip of land is included within the
boundaries of Rock Creek Park, which
was authorized by Congress to be pur-
chased and "perpetually dedicated and
set apart as public park or pleasure
ground for the benefit and enjoyment Of
the people of the United States"
The lawyer advises the court OF the
decision of the Commissioners to locate
the station at Sixteenth and Webster
streets until they discovered that a
covenant in the deed to the property
prevented its use for any other than
residential purposes and were au-
thorized by Congress to dispose of that
site. The Commissioners then decided
to use the strip of land owned by the
United States. at Sixteenth street and
Colorado avenue.
Bids for erection of the proposed fire
engine house will be opened next Tues
day, the court is advised, and Quinn
asserts that the alleged violation of the
coming laws by the Commissioners
would result in irreparable injury to his
property and greatly depreciate its
value as a residence.

'BOOK|ES' DECLARED
INVESTING MARKETS
Roberts Warns Dealers Ejec-
tion Will Follow Placing
of Bets on Horses.

Aroused by reports that runners for
bookmakerS are infeSting the Western
and Eastern Markets, George M. Rob-
ertS, District superintendent of weights
measures and markets, today served no.
tice on the dealers that the placing OF
bets on horse races or any other form
Of gambling on market property would
result in their election.
Roberts does not allege that the deal
ers are playing the ponies" but he
said complaints had come to him that
agents of bookmakers made frequent
visits to the markets and not for the
purpose of buying food.
Roberts planned his reform movement
early this week, but did not take steps
to carry it out until last night, when
he mailed mimecgraphed notices to all
tenants in the two markets. The notice
read as follows:
This letter is to inform you that
placing bets on horse races or any other
form of gambling by tenants or their
employees In District Of Columbia mar
kets or on market premises will be con-
Sidered sufficient ground for ending the
tenancy of any tenant indulging in
such practice or permitting his en-
ployes to do so.
"I am sending copy Of this letter
to each tenant In order that all may be
accurately informed on the subject.
"I trust that may have the hearty
cooperation of every tenant in regard
to the matter and that no further action
will ever become necessary"

at me as though I were crazy and
didn't move.
Lost Cab at Corner.
Il followed the cab as it turned again
to the right and came to Carroll avenue,
where 1t turned north. A group of men
were standing outside Sanitary Gro
Gerry Store, and attempted to enlist
their aid, without success The cab went
on for about block and then turned
right. That is the last I saw of it.
II circled several blocks, looking for
policeman and finally found one. He
was just coming off duty, but when
l told him of the chase he said he
had his gun with him and would Just
as leave shoot bandit for breakfast
as do anything else.
I'VE started In the direction the cab
had taken. The cop said it looked as
II the bandit was making for Hyatts-
vile, in which case we stood a good
chance of catching him, because the
road was blocked ahead We went
almost to HyattSville, but saw moth
ing of the cab or its occupants"
The police reported that the taxi
driver told them the bandit had thrown
So on the front seat as he leaped out
of the cab.
A search by police officers of the
woods resulted in the finding of a gray
cap, identified by Mr.. Lutes as the one
worn by the bandit. Between Locust
and Carroll avenues, Wildwood, Md,
point about half mile away from
where the bandit first abandoned the
taxi, Policeman Roy Snyder found the
cap on the ground. It was slashed
down the middle and cut nearly in two
apparently by a. sharp knife or razor
blade. Inside was the trade name
Ralph Cap" This is the only tangible
clue in the hands of police.

PRESIDENT GOING
TO VOTE AT HOME
Expects to Leave on Night of
November 5 for North
ampton, Mass.

President Coolidge has virtually made
up his mind to go to Northampton,
Mass, to vote on election day, but he
has not given the slightest indication
that he has any intention of making
speech in behalf of the Republican
national ticket in the meantime.
Unless business of pressing nature
arises the President will leave Wash
ington on the night of November 5,
arriving In Northampton early on the
morning of election day. 1t is thought
likely that he will head back for Wash
ingten that night, which will put him
back in the White House the morning
after election
Mrs. Coolidge will accompany the
President. There is some likelihood of
her remaining m Northampton for a
week or so for the purpose of visiting
with her mother, who is i'll in hos
pital in that city. t-.
Could Vote by Mail.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Coolidge has sent to
the authorities in his voting precinct
for official ballots for himself and Mrs
Coolidge in the event something should
arise to prevent their leaving Washing
ton. In that event, they could vote
by mail.
In 1924, when h, was the presidential
candidate, Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge voted
by mail. Two years ago Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge journeyed to Northampton to
vote in person. William M. Butler, per-
sonal friend and political adviser of the
President, was then a candidate to sue
ceed himself in the Senate and the
Presidents trip to his home town to
vote was prompted by desire to set
an example to that army of apathetiC
being Indifferent toward the exercise OF
their right of franchise.
1t is felt by friends of the President
here that his contemplated trip tc
Northampton to vote in this election /:
intended as a gesture in the same di-
rection.
Question Of Employees Voting.
The President has not reached a de-
cision in the matter of issuing an order
excusing Federal employees throughout
limited period on election day. He is
represented as thinking favorably oi
the proposition placed before him BY
Luther Steward, president of the Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees. He is op-
posed, however, to granting a full holi-
day or even half day, but it is thought
that he will agree to excuSing the en-
ployeS for an hour or two.
Edward T. Clark, personal secretary
to the President, who, like the Presi-
dent, is legal resident of Northamp-
ton, and Mrs. Clark will also go home
to vote. Everett Sanders, the Presi-
dents secretary. and Mrs. Sanders must
vote in person this year, since the
voting laws of Indiana have been
changed regarding absentee voting.

10 new DIPHTHERIA
CARRIERS LOCATED
Prepare to Give SChiCk Test
to 1000 Pupils in
Northeast.

With the discovery of 10 more car
riers of diphtheria germs among pupils
of the Northeast public schools, Dr.
William c. Fowler, District health OFF,
Ger, today made preparations to give
the Schick test to the more than 1000
children in the four schools where the
disease appears to be confined.
The 10 new carriers brings the total
removed from the four schools to IL.
Five of them were found in the Blair
School and the other five in the Hayes
School. No additional clinical or posi-
tive cases have been discovered. however,
although another pupil of the Blair
School died from diphtheria yesterday
increasing the mortalities to four since
the outbreak.
Test Shows Immunity.
The Schick test, DR.. Fowler pointed
out, will show whether a child has nat
ural immunity to diphtheria, but it
will not be given without the consent
of parents. Children found in this way
to be susceptible to the disease, the
health officer said, will, with the con-
sent of parents. be given the toxin-an-
titoxin treatments.
DR.. Joseph A. Murphy, supervising
medical inspector of the public schools,
LII. JdLlco Ol
the contagious disease section of the
Health Department, have been instruct
ed by DR.. Fowler to urge parents of
the children in the four schools to have
them immunized if necessary. The
health officer does not view the situa-
ton with alarm, but he admits that it
is abnormal and that drastic pre-
ventive measures must be applied to
check possible spread of the disease,
Only Small Appropriation.
DIR. Fowler said the Health Depart
nlent has only small appropriation for
diphtheria preventive activities, but all
of this in addition to emergency funds
will be used If necessary to combat con-
ditions in the Northeast. Other cities
have special appropriations for this
work, the health officer declared. but
despite his persistent pleas in past years
the Health Department has never been
granted adequate funds for diphtheria
prevention.
One physician and one nurse have
been detailed to full-time duty at the
four schools and will not be removed
until all fears of an outbreak are past.
On account of the closing of the
schools today, Health Department physi-
clans were not able to complete the
taking of throat cultures of pupils in
the Webb and Kingsrnan Schools, but
this will be done Monday. Culturing
of the children in the Hayes and Blair
Schools has been finished.

.NGLO-AMER|CAN
AGREEMENT SEEN
Baldwin Declares Britain
Does Not Seek Naval Race
With United States.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 27.-Stanley Bald
win, prime minister, believes that fail
ure to reach an agreement with the
United States on naval matters is only
temporary. He is sure that Great Brit
ain has no intention of entering into
a naval building competition with
America.
"Our policy in naval building is to go
slow" Mr.. Baldwin said in addressing
a mass meeting in Albert Hall in cele-
bration of the tenth anniversary of the
League of Nations Union. .
We have no intention of competing
with the United States and came to our
decision to go slow long before we were
asked to sign the Kellogg pact"
Mr.. Baldwin expressed doubt that the
world realized the FULL import of the
Kellogg BRAND treaty renouncing war.
1T gives us what in our spiritual life
We should be grateful for-an oppor-
tunity for fresh start" he said.
The prime minister expressed pro-
found regret at what he termed only a
temporary failure" to reach an agree
ment with the United States on naval
hAeVtOAos AAO ACNAAC0 otoHANAOAAo COiA-
corning British action which had be-
come current in some American circles
Uneasiness reflected in those British
newspapers that thought by the Anglo
French naval accord Great Britain had
been committed to the French view con-
corning army reserves without obtain
ing any adequate naval concession was
alluded to by the prime minister.
II wish to contradict" said Mr.. Bald
win, "the idea that we had abandoned
our position of impartiality, adopted at
the time of the Locarno pact We have
made no new engagements and there
has been no change in the orientation
of our policy.
"Our interests and our inclinationS
have alike prompted us to preserve and
even strengthen the solidarity of our re-
lations with Germany as well as with
France and Italy" ''"
Dwelling on the evil influence exerted
by war on national character, Mr. Bald
win said that this was particularly
illustrated in the World War. This war,
he held. showed that mankind had
characteristics of the tiger, "base in
stinctS ready to be summoned from
their hidden lair at moments notice"
mo two bodies of persons are more
potent to summon these ancient i'm
pulses than are the politicians and the
press" he said, only an intense spir-
itual fight can resist these instincts"

ELIZABETH, N. j., October 81
United States Senator James A. Reed,
Democrat, of Missouri, in an address
here last night, aSsailed Herbert Hoo
ver's record of American citizenship
and, referring to Gov. Smith, asserted
that lone consoling fact in this cam
paign is that We have a chance to vote
for one whose citizenship does not
require official certification."
Nobody has ever suspected our cam
didate of being q naturalized British
subject" he said. His name has never
been certified to British election board
as possessing the voting qualifications
of British taxpayer. Al Smiths place
of residence has never been in ques-
ton He has not been obliged to main
tain ghost habitat at Stanford Uni
verSity or at any other place"
Puts Queries to Hoover.
Turning to the oil leases, Senator
Reed said he would have Hoover an
swer these questions:
"You have given blanket indorSe-
ment to the administration of the last
seven and one-half years. Do you in
clude within your general approval the
theft of the oil lands by Sinclair, which
was perpetrated under the Harding ad-
ministration?
Did you approve of the payment by
Sinclair 70 your fellow cabinet men,
Der Fall of more than $293,000?
did you approve of the lease of Do
heny, which has since been condemned
by the Supreme Court as a gross and
constituencies fraud; and If you do not
approve of that transaction, why did you
not publicly denounce 1t when 1t was
being discussed before the cabinet?"
Holds Smith Practical.
Passing to the Democratic nominee,
Senator Reed said:
Alfred e. Smith has been governor
of New York for nearly eight years.
In all that time the white light of
publicity has beaten upon his every
act. Relentless foes have been keen
to discover single misstep. Gov. Smith
is not a dreamer. His head is not in
the clouds. He has no desire to try
experiments upon the American people.
He meets the questions Of government
in a practical way. I want a man
who has no divided allegiance; want
an American. want Alfred e. Smith"
