Governor Richie entertains no delusions as 70 what

have made her gesture. her "favorite SON will nave

The MARYLAND delegation will he ultra-wet, as the
Texas delegation will be ultra-dry. But the Mary

ARREST AND ASSAULT
BRING BUSY 2 HOURS
Taken on Rum Charge, Free on
Bond, Accused Goes Through
Window in Row.

Arrested on charge of illegal trans
portation OF liquor and then thrown
through plate glass window by two
unidentified white men within the space
of a few hours, was the experience last
night of Bernard Clark of the 1900
block Twenty-second street.
Harold Baker of the 1000 block of
Kenyon street was responsible for the
arrest. He walked into the third
precinct station with cash over his
eye and told of an alleged assault.
Accompanied by Policeman S. F.
Gravely, Baker started out to find his
assailant. In the 900 block of New
Hampshire avenue they saw Clark in
an automobile with James Joseph Car
roll, who lives in that block. Baker
identified the latter as the one who
hit him. When the policeman drew
abreast of the machine, a few quarts
of alleged liquor were found between
the two men and both were arrested.
Following his release on bond, Clark
later became involved in an argument
in a barber shop at Twentyflrst and
M streets that terminated when he was
thrown through the window. He was
only slightly injured.
When Clark and Carroll were ar
raigned before United States Commits
sioner Needham C. Turnage today, their
case was continued to permit the COM
missioner to study motion by Defense
Counsel Harry T. Whelan for dismiss
sal on the ground that there was no
warrant for the arrest.
Baker failed to appear in Police
Court to testify against Carroll, with
the result that the assault charge
against him was dropped.

EDGE URGES FARM
RELIEF THIS SESSION
Passage of Measure Should Not
Take Much Time, Says New
Jersey Senator.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Enactment of farm relief legislation
during this session of Congress was
asked today by Senator Edge, Repub-
lican, New Jersey, who declared in a
statement that the necessity for a
special session could not be determined
until it is learned how rapidly the
regular session will proceed.
II can't reconcile myself to the view
that the farmer will be better served
at a special session." Senator Edge said.
Certainly the type of legislation would
necessarily be the same, and the farm
er's relief will be that much further
postponed"
The Senator declared that the char
acter of farm bill which would receive
1.-The approval of the President, or for
that matter the President-elect," Is fairly
we'll understood and that it should not
take much time to pass a bill of that
type.
Referring to the wish of some men,
berS of Congress that the tariff and
farm relief be taken up together, SEN
ator Edge said:
when the time arrives for tariff
changes, it will be complete revision
and not devoted to any one activity
He added that the brick and cement
manufacturers of New Jersey had a
good claim for protection from imports.
