ABOARD THE PRESIDENTIAL
SPECIALS EN- ROUTE TO WASH
INGTON, Sept. 11.--With three
months OF vacation behind him,
President Coolidge was on his way
back to Washington today. Wednes-
day morning will find him back at
his desk at the Executive offices.
Wisconsin, locale of this sum
mer's temporary White House, bid
good-by to the Executive in the
early hours OF the morning as the
special train rolled along on it,
way to Chicago where the switch
was made to the Eastern road that
ultimately will get him back to
the National Capital.

ton came to an end last night
when he departed from Superior
in heavy rain that failed en-
tiretv to prevent an enthusiastic
crowd from turning out for mis-
farewell
The Presidents stay in Washing

within week or 10 days he ex.
poets to journey to Vermont and
there revisit the scenes of his boy
hood days at Plymouth. This trip
probably will not last longer than
a week. however. before he gets
back to his offic for good.
Only Routine Ahead
NO particular problems await Mr.
Coolidge upon his return. The fact
he is stepping out of office next
March has done much to relieve the
strain of official business and leave
him for the most part only with
the usual routine.
Stops on the way East today will
be of the most perfunctory nature
embodying only train inspection
and refueling. Several OF the towns
through which the train passed this
morning were rewarded by brief
rear platform appearances when the
size of the crowd warranted, but

MAILS To BAN
L|BELS ON
SMITH

Scurrilous and libelous attacks
upon Gov. Alfred z. Smith are to
be barred from the United States
mails.
The first step already has been
taken by the Postoffiee Department
to purge the offending documents
from its system and to ferret out
their circulators.
The postal officials determined
to take action when they were con-
fronted with a printed text mailed
in Baltimore which contained an
attack upon the private life of
Governor Smith and upon the
Catholic church.
Walter E. Kelley. acting solicitor
of the Postoffice Department, held
the text to be "scurrilous and de.
famatory" and instructed B. F.
woeIper. jr., postmaster at Balti
more, to bar it from the mails
Postal inspectors were placed on
the trail of the printers and circu
lators of the material.
Postmaster General New charac
terized the card as the work of a
''depraved and degenerate mind
He said ''scurrility should have ne
place in a political campaign" ant
that the Postoffice Department
would be vigilant throughout tho
Presidential contest to prevent such
defamatory attacks on any candi
date from being sent through tbs
mails.

bigotry," said Postmaster Genera

The mother appeared at police
headquarters before a. m. today,
to interview the owner Of the car
and intercede for her sons release.
She was referred to officials of

The car which young Vincent is
alleged to have stolen was taken
Friday night from Main Street, Au-
gusta, Ga, and Is the property of
Arts Raley, business man OF that
city.
Came Here From Georgia
The boy came to Augusta In the
course of a hitch-hiking trip on
which he was roughing it, he told
police because of his disgust with
cities and crowds.
On his arrival there. he tired OF
his trip and determined to return
to his home in New Jersey
While riding in the roadster be-
longing to Raley, police say. he
was arrested early Sunday morning
by Headquarters Detectives Jacob
Wolfe and Henry M. Jet, at
Twenty.third Street and Pennsyl-
Vania Avenue Northwest. He later
told police he had driven contln-
uously for more than So hours since
leaving Augusta.
Vincent was in cadet uniform when
arrested. He at first denied he had
taken the car without right, but
later admitted it, according to po-
lice. The detectives said they ar
rested him on the ground that he
looked suspicious" and was unable
to give an account of himself.

The automobile WIS covered with
dust and mud and the tags were at

halted, was unable to show creden-
tails and was taken to a police sta

Bureau and Congress
misunderstanding Now
Threaten Quiz Delay

The vaunted under cover" in
vestigation of the Police Depart.
ment has been botched and mud
died because three interests in
volyed have been working at cross
purposes--the Gibson investigating
subcommittee, the Bureau of Eff
ficiency, and the under cover"
men who apparently. have been
kicked around from pillar to post
ever since Congress adjourned.
These facts were brought out In
the open today in the face of re-
peated statements from the Bureau
Of Efficiency that it has been con-
Quoting no inquiry OF the Police
Department, when statement
from Representative Ernest W.
Gibson said he expected ''com.
prehensive report" from the bureau
when he returns to Washington on
October /.
A private inquiry into the local
police force was started last Feb.
ruary, but was halted abruptly
under puzzling circumstances.
Controversy Seen
As the matter stands, Represent
alive Gibson and the Bureau of
Efficiency are going to have a
first-class controversy on their
hands in another month. APP.
parently either a blunder or a
misunderstanding has paved the
way for another Congressional
fizzle--or at least another long de-
lay.
There is documentary proof at
hand that the Gibson committee
employed investigators to look into
the local police situation, and 1t Is
alleged that some sensational facts
were presented to its members last
spring.
There is evidence to show that GER
tain members OF the subcommittee
wanted these facts turned over to
the Bureau of Efficiency for addi.
tional examination. These members
also felt that the under cover men"
could work in cooperation with the
Bureau of Efficiency during the
summer months.
The facts of the situation are that
the Bureau of Efficiency, which is
used to scientific methods of inquiry,
would have nothing to do with the
private investigators employed by
the subcommittee and have let the
"bootlegging and bookmaking"
phase of the investigation lapse.
They have no funds with which to
conduct such an inquiry, Malcolm
Kerlin, the assistant chief of the
bureau. declares.
The recent statements of Repre-.
sentative Gibson at his home in
Brattleboro. VT, Indicate that he
has been under the impression that
the under cover" investigation has
not been abandoned, and that the
Bureau of Efficiency has been gath.
ering data for the resumption of
subcommittee hearings next tan.
1t seems to be certain that
serious misunderstanding has de-
veloped, and that it will be recess
sary to convene the subcommittee
in advance of the opening of Con-
sress IL Representatives Gibson,
Blanton and Hammer are serious In
their protestations that they want
to "clean up" the local police situa-
ton.

OF the death of both Matus and his
wife. The same papers gave him

to finance such litigation. He
added that he had refused to accept
any compensation for caring for
Gloria since the death of her

While the chief was issuing his
denial that unsavory conditions ex'
ist in the department, Commissioner
Proctor L. Dougherty, who has
supervision over the department,
was declining to discuss its alleged
breakdown.

Metropolitan Police Department Of
the District of Columbia do not
