CODE
HERE PUSHED
Photo bx Interna tionl

Senator Blaine, of wisconsin, will
make a strenuous effort during the
coming session of Congress TO enact
a new insurance code for the Dis
trict he announced today.
The bin in order to make any
headway, however, must overcome
powerful lobby which insura ance
companies are maintaining against
it.
Senator Blaine is confident that
there are enough votes in the Sen
ate to pass the measure If he can
get it reported out from the Dis
trict Committee, where the lobby
is particularly active.
The new insurance code was
passed last year by the House and
now only needs Senate action to
send it TO the White House. But
on the Senate side it is still in the
hands of a subcommittee of the
District Committee headed by
Blaine.
Opposition TO the new code comes
from the National Board of Fire
Underwriters and the National
Surety Association. They oppose
it because under the terms of the
code fire insurance rates would be
based on the earnings of the com
panies.
This provision. according to Sen
ator Blaine, would result in a 40
per cent reduction in fire insurance
rates here

during the next three days.
McManus, the brother of a New

request.

Volcano Feared by the Natives.

Joseph H. Sinclair, representing the
American Geographic Society, has just
returned to this country from q hard
trip of exploration through Ecuador,
where he had terrific experience in
an endeavor to reach q smoking vol
cano which had erupted as recently as
1928 when the whole country for miles
around was deluged with flow of lava.
The natives had wholesome and
superstitious fear of the great pile and
could not be induced to guide the ex-
plorer as near as he wanted to go, but
by his own efforts and alone he man
aged to get within miles of the cone
and this was near enough for him to
witness number of explosions which
repeatedly changed the contour of the
crater's rim. Little or nothing has
been known about the volcano and he
secured valuable data concerning its
character and location. Mr.. Sinclair
was careful to point out that he was
not the first white man to see the vol
cano-a mountain which the natives
call Reventador, meaning "Eruptor."
Near the place the explorers came on
a lone white man who could not tell
them how long he had been there nor
why he had penetrated SO far from
civilized associations. Nor would he
go with them to the mountain. He, too,
had been infected by the superstitions
of the natives, which holds that when
ever a human sets foot on the side of
the tall volcano Reventador becomes
"muy brava." or very brave -, : :,

Historical incident.
lotographed before the White House

PULASKI, Tenn. (P).-The census
gives Pulaski only 2.780 inhabitants;
but, despite its modest size, this town
has accomplished something which
many a city with a population in six
figures has not yet done.
The Pulaski Little Theater Guild has
produced successfully a play written by
one of its own members dealing with
dramatic incident of the towns his
tory.
From the windows of his law office
j. David Rhea daily looked down on
the courthouse square to the spot where
Sam Davis, boy hero of the Confeder-
ate armies, went to his death on scaf-
fold because he would not reveal from
whom he had obtained valuable Fed
eral secrets.
Stimulated by the boys heroic sacri-
flee, Rhea worked out a play which
mingled a hazily recorded love affair
with the we'll established record of
Davis military career, ended before he
was 81.
When the play was produced, authen-
tic costumes of the period, Confederate
and Federal uniforms taken from a
museum, the sword used by Sam Davis
and the manacles which clasped his
hands added to the literary qualities Of
the production.

SCHENCK IS FREED
IN ROBBERY CASE
Court Acquits Former Police
man Because of Discrep-
anCies in Testimony.

Widespread discrepancies in the tes-
timony of the complaining witnesses in
the robbery case against Frederick
Schenck, former policeman and promi-
nent figure in the Staples trial, led
Judge Isaac r. Hit to discharge him
following a hearing in Police Court to-
day.
In freeing Schenck the court ex-
pressed the opinion that the men who
had testified against him had lied"
William H. Allen, colored, who yes
terday swore to the warrant charging
Schenck with taking $50 from him, tes
titled today that only portion OF that
sum was his personal property, the rest
belonging to Clinton Watson and John
Logan, both colored, his companions at
the time of the alleged robbery. Wat
son and Logan, however, each told the
court that $25 was theirs.
On cross examination by John II
Burnett, defense attorney. the complain
ants all admitted in open court that
they had obtained the money by hauling
liquor They not only gave a different
story as to who owned the $50, but each
gave a different description OF the way
Schency was supposed to be dressed.
In his argument at the conclusion oi
the hearing, which lasted over an hour
Attorney Burnett endcavored to show
that the motive of the compliments was
to get back" at Schenck because they
missed their liquor. Allen, Logan and
Watson claimed that while delivering
five cases of liquor in a rented car yes
terday morning they were pursued by
Schenck and two companions for sew
eral blocks During the pursuit a
number of shots were fired. 1t was tes-
tilted. but the witnesses differed widely
on this point also, one claiming there
were only 4 or while another said
there were Is or 20.
